Secret World
01 Alex Barlowe

Our kind has to play hide and seek with the human kind. We live here, have great power, but have to hide our nature. Werewolves, vampires, other shifters, dragons, nymphs, elves, witches and others adjusted so much, they forgot who they really are. They lost their magical powers. This human world is beyond fucked up. They are blind to real magic. Nature is giving them everything and they keep destroying it. My power is beyond their understanding. I came from the bloodline of beings, who worked with the powers that created everything. I am a magician, wolf, vampire and have elves blood from my mother side. I was born a leader. In this world isn't anything, I couldn't get. I chose to stay behind a mask of a super powerful man. Nobody understands my knowledge about everything. I just take advantage of what I am. It feels fucking good. Being an asshole has its bright side and also a down side.

I am lonely. I haven't found my mate yet. I only know, she is a human. I recently moved to the nearest location, where I sensed her. I can feel her essence, her presence, but I have no fucking clue, where exactly is she. It makes me more dangerous.

I am looking out of my office window in the most high spot in the city. I can see the people down there walking, talking, having fun… They are like ants. Ready to crash them, or smash them. My blood is boiling with rage.

“MISS RAY!” I yell at my assistant.

“Yes, sir?” She is by the door much quicker than I expected.

“Clear my schedule for today. I'm going home.”

“But sir… You have just one thing to do.” I looked at her. She was very nice and also very pregnant.

“Sit down, Miss, we don't want you to be stressed, don't we?” She smiled and sat down on the chair to the opposite side of my desk.

“You promised to meet some local firm. It should take an hour or so.” She explained.

“Oh… The one, which is useless to me, but could be potentially a good investment?” She nodded. “Okay. You go home, get some rest.”

“Thank you, sir. Hope you ran into some replacements.” She joked.

“Don't tease me. You know every woman who dared to come was ready to get in my bed. Like a fucking whore.” She laughed.

“And you still wonder… Boss, you're sexy as hell!” Now was my turn to laugh. I liked her. She had her husband and was still able to say out loud her thoughts about other men.

“Go home! Bye! See you tomorrow! Just don't forget, you can come in later. It would be safer for you. Have a nice day.” She teased me a little more in the elevator. She was something like my friend. It was refreshing to have her in my office. I will miss her. I wish my mate was like her. I knew she won't come tomorrow, because she will be getting the birth. Everything will work fine for her, they will be healthy and happy. I will keep an eye on them, so they stay safe. I will keep her out of my world. I already got her a new very good paid job.

I drove to the other part of the city. The ride took me longer. The traffic was awful with all the closed streets. I used the GPS just for sure. I was already late for the meeting. I ran into the building. The receptionist asked me to sit down and wait. She called the bosses and continued with the other call with her bestie. I thought, I will vomit. This conversation was just… Oh man, too girly and stupid! I waited for ten minutes, but nobody came. I was running out of patience, when the elevator dinged and a woman with a torn dress ran in the hall screaming for help.

“Hey, what happened to you?” I catched her.

“My boss… He…” I smelled blood. It ran down her tights. I took off my jacket and helped her to put it on. Another signal from the elevator.

“Bitch, how dare you. I'm not done with you.” He tried to grab her and drag her back to wherever the hell he hurted her.

“Let-her-go!” I said through my gritted teeth. He looked up at me and went pale. I grabbed him by his neck and lifted him from the ground. “If this is what your firm is doing to their employees, consider your firm lost,” I let go of him, he felt on the ground catching his breath, not able to speak. “Can you walk?” I turned to the little human girl. She shrugged her shoulders. “Okay, Put your hands around my neck and hold on.” I lifted her up bride style and walked out of the building. I placed her in my car very carefully. She was bad beaten and raped. Not what I expected here. But the worst part of it was, she was the one.

I called my most trusted men to burn this shithole to the ground. There will be nothing left. No one will survive this but the pig. He is mine to kill. She was shaking and crying the whole ride to my appartement. I took her to my place, I needed to know, she was okay. I asked her, if there is someone, I can call. She said no. She was single, she didn't talk to her family, because of her ex boyfriend. I got nothing more from her.

“Wait, where are you taking me? My home is in the opposite direction…” she realized too late.

“I'm taking you with me. You would be safer here.” She looked at me and turned back to watch the road.

When I parked the car and gave the keys to the security, she tried to get out. She almost fell, because her legs were too weak. I called a doctor to check on her. I carried her to my bedroom. I made sure she stayed there.

The doctor checked her and stitched her wounds. She was okay physically. Nothing life threatening. The doctor gave her a prescription for regular pain pills and antibiotics.

“Why didn't you heal her, boss?” He asked me on his way out.

“And add another trauma? No. Now thank you, but get lost!” I was on edge. One more word and I would kill him.

I checked on her. She was sleeping. I had time to make another day off. I gave orders to my men. They will take care of everything. To every human man was one of my kind. The humans in my organization knew who I was. I sat on my laptop and decided to look her up. It was easy, when I knew where she used to work. I had full access to her social media, mails and practically everything in ten minutes. She was perfect. Angel face with devil inside.

Lisa Sawyer. Her eyes were blue, she had brown super wavy hair, she was around 170 centimeters tall (or small) and to my surprise she was actually very smart. They bullied her because of her weight, the pig was the number one in it. I hacked his personal data too. He had a secret crush on her. He added some very hardcore porn videos. It should show what he wants to do with her. I am a sick bastard, I don't fear to mess with drugs, humans, guns and all this bad shit, but this? This is another level. Too fucked up. Plus he could never do this with her, because he had no size for this and he would never let her use a safe word. It would kill her. Which pissed me even more.

I heard some moaning and hissing from the bedroom. I ran to see what was going on. She had a nightmare. She was twisting from side to side. I was afraid she could tore the stiches. I sat down next to her and woke her up. She punched me, would you believe that?

“Oh… Sorry, it was a reflex… I am sorry,” she started, before I even got a chance to react.

“Stop! I am fine! Just stay still and place the hands, where I can see them! Good! Now, tell me, what the fuck he did to you?”
