I put my hands on my hips looking at the really high fence and at that moment I envied all beings that had the ability to fly.

My gaze wandered to the side and I ran a few meters behind a wide house to at least remain undetected in my plans.

The rain kept pouring down on me, which really didn't help me at all, but I couldn't change that either and I had to live with it.

"Let's go," I motivated myself and pushed up the sleeves of my red sweater to stand right in front of the fence.

He was probably twice as tall as me, but with skill I could certainly do it, then I shook my head and realized I wasn't skill at all.

I was more the unsportsmanlike and totally lazy type...

Still, I put my hands on the dark wood and dug my nails into it to somehow try to pull myself up, but of course I immediately caught a splinter and cursed under my breath while furiously contemplating just transforming and through to run through that fucking fence.

But Keno said he would keep out strange wolves, so I quickly dismissed that glimmer of hope and tried again.

Again and again I hurt myself and desperately tried to climb up the wood, which I finally managed to do. I held on to the few grooves with my already aching fingers and at the same time pushed myself up with my feet until I reached the top completely soaked and at the end of my strength and wanted to take a deep breath, but there was no time for that!

Unfortunately, feeling slightly dizzy from the exertion and the lack of food, I lost my balance and, holding my breath, fell sideways, where I landed face first in the mud outside the fence.

Great !!! Now I was soaked, sweaty and soaked in mud from head to toe. But more importantly, I was free!!!

I got up in anticipation and first wiped the mud off my face, allowing me to look around curiously until my eyes widened and I saw Keno standing in front of me, amusedly leaning against a tree and biting into a green apple.

"You should work on your stamina," he grinned dirty and I got so angry at that moment that I balled my hands into fists, raised my chin proudly in the air and wanted to stomp past him into the forest.

"You can mal me!" I snapped at him, but before I could go any further, he easily grabbed my waist and threw me over his shoulder again, making me sigh in frustration.

"Oh, little one," he laughed, slapping my butt making my wolf jump in circles happily and making me feel like the whole world was conspiring against me.

We walked past the security guards, who just stared at me in complete irritation, and it wasn't until we got back to our room that Keno let me down to give me an amused look.

"There's something on your face," he said with a dirty grin and I immediately ran my hand through my hair confidently.

"It suits me, doesn't it?" I replied slightly pissed off and was about to turn to the bathroom when he grabbed my arm.

"What would you like to eat?" he asked very calmly and looked incredibly good with his wet hair, which I skilfully ignored.

"Anything to help build muscle!"

I pulled my arm away from him, still hearing his stupid laugh, and when I got to the bathroom, I slammed the door behind me, aiming for the small window first.

Surely he wouldn't think that I would just run away again?

I turned on the shower water without a second thought, then quickly padded to the window and opened it to first look around at the area outside. Seeing no one around, I sat down on the window sill and was almost terrified when the door behind me suddenly banged open.

Caught, I turned around and looked straight into Keno's face, who just seemed to realize what I was about to do while I grinned stupidly at him and he placed some towels on a shelf next to him.

"Are you serious?" he asked, slightly confused, and after rolling my eyes, I climbed back into the room and closed the window with a loud bang.

"I might as well ask you that," I replied, taking a few steps towards him. "After all, I could have stood naked in the shower and you just come in here!"

The corners of his mouth twitched at my words and, arms crossed, I gave him a low growl, which was actually a death sentence, because nobody had the right to reprimand an alpha.

In a flash, he grabbed my chin and used his other hand to pin me behind me against the shower stall, causing me to stare at him wide-eyed.

"I hear your wolf howling happily," he said with a smile and looked deep into my eyes while my heart almost stopped and I tried hard to calm my wolf, but she was just too happy to be close to him.

"She just doesn't know yet that this isn't our home," I retorted bravely, annoyed with myself when I caught myself glancing at his lips. Of course, he didn't miss that either, and without saying anything else, he let go of me and turned his back on me, which made me look at him in confusion.

I was the one who turned him down one after the other, not he me!

"What's that?!", I blurted out because of my soaked self-confidence and with a really seductive smile he turned to me at the door again.

"I'm keeping you captive here with me, but I won't force you into anything. I'll just wait until you come by yourself," he explained confidently and was about to leave the bathroom when I ran after him and stayed just a few steps behind him stand.

"And where are you going now?"

"Get boards and nails for the windows," I heard him call before he disappeared around the corner into the hallway and smiling, I shook my head until I realized that I liked it and that I suppressed my stupid grin again, annoyed by this fact .

"Idiot," I whispered, and though I didn't mean to, my heart pounded at the thought of him...
