Chapter 2 Death

"Sabrina" the voice of Sabrina's father had softened after that small disagreement between them.

"I know you still very well remember that incident but even your brother would want you to move in line with the family. He would want you to avenge his death by taking those wolves down"

"No. If brother Jake was alive, he would want me to stay away from dangerous things like that and keep myself safe"

"You are getting this wrong"

"No I am not, father. You are the one getting things wrong" she replied him.

"Think about this carefully. You can not always dodge"

The call was ended before Sabrina could reply her dad.

She huffed and dropped the phone in annoyance.

"I am always going to dodge!" She yelled at the phone on the bed and ran her hands through her hair, raking the lengthy, wavy hair all the way back.

She was Sabrina James, 26, beautiful but still yet single. She was working as the head of the marketing department in a small company but she loved her job so much.

Her job was not just a job but it was also a way of escape for her. If she had not been able to find a job, she was sure that her father would have pushed her back to Australia where she would have to work for him, hunting down wolves, something she badly did not want to do.

She preferred living here in Niue, this very small country where there were no werewolf hunters roaming around.

She got off her bed and grumpily looked at the wall clock.

She gasped as she saw how late she was.

"Mr. Myles won't let me off easily if I am late today" she grumbled, running off into the bathroom.

She took a very quick bath dressed up for work quickly.

She used lipstick and hurriedly blow dried her hair. She clumsily tied her hair into a big and yet messy bun.

As she tied her hair, her hand brushed over a scar on her neck. It was one of the scars she had received that night, 14 years ago in the fight that took her big brother and her mother.

She did not think much about the scar anymore since thinking about it would only remind her of that night.

She rushed out of her apartment after making sure that she was all ready for another day at work.

She was lucky to be able to stop a taxi quickly.

She got to her workplace after about ten minutes of ride in the car.

"Thank you" she thanked the driver, paying his fee to him before sprinting into the office.

"Come over here Sabrina" A loud masculine voice called out as she ran past his office to get to her own office

Sabrina froze for a second, turned back, and rushed to her boss's office.

She was pretty late that morning and she knew he was going to scold her.

She pushed his door open and walked into the office.

The man was seated, relaxedly on the chair behind his desk, he was in his early thirties obviously and he was handsome, no doubt.

His suit clung to his body and even when he was sitting and looking relaxed, he still looked hot with his hair dyed bright brown.

"I am here sir, at your service" Sabrina smiled as she got in front of him but her smile was clearly not welcomed.

"First, you are late today"

"I am sorry boss, I..."

"I got stuck in the traffic and even had to alight and run here" Her boss cut her off, saying the exact same words she was about to say.

She bit on her lower lips.

"That's what you were about to say, right?" He asked her and she could only get her head bowed.

"You should stop lying to me, Sabrina! You are not good at lying anyways, you keep stating the same lie everytime" he shook his head.

"I am sorry, Mr. Myles"

"You need to get those jobs I gave you yesterday done within five days. I do not care how you go about it, okay?" He asked.

"You can rely on me, Boss" she assured him but the man just scoffed.

"Rely on you? I wish I could. If you fail at this time around, I am going to have to demote you or maybe just fire you once and for all" he waved his hands to show how he was going to dismiss her if she failed.

"I won't disappoint you sir" she reassured him.

"You may leave" He dismissed her and Sabrina had turned to leave when he called her name once again.

Sabrina groaned and shut her eyes tightly.

"I do not want any excuse this time around. Nothing such as someone in your family being sick or dead, do you get that?" He asked her and Sabrina looked at him with a smile, one that had been known as her signature.

"Don't give me those silly smiles of yours now" her boss warned her.

"You are so kind, Mr. Myles, I understand your fury this time around. I would not make you this mad next time" she grinned at him.

"Now, give me a smile, Mr. Myles. You know you look much more handsome with a smile on your face" she flattered him and even though he tried to keep on with the stern look on his face, he eventually smiled.

"Now, that is better" Sabrina grinned.

"I won't be smiling at you if you..."

"It's okay, I know, I know, Mr. Myles. I will get to work right now" she smiled at him and rushed out of the office.

Her boss chuckled as she rushed out of the office.

That small smile on his face showed that he had feelings for her deep in his heart but was not letting her know about it yet.

That evening

Sabrina stretched her arms, she was dead tired from having to do so many works but it was her fault for procrastinating all these while.

She now had to face the work load.

"I should stop now, I have done enough" She mumbled to no one and pushed away her laptop, after which she took her glasses off and dropped them on her table.

She picked her phone and removed it from airplane mode which she had activated so as not to be distracted from work. As if on cue, her phone rang right after she had done that.

It was a strange contact but she picked it up anyways.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Hello Sabrina. There is bad news" the panicky voice of the second in command to her father, Derrick popped up.

"I told you, I do not want to talk about whatever is happening with you guys and those creatures" she whispered into the phone.

"It's not about us or the wolves this time.... It is about your Dad"

"My dad?" Her brow raised.

"Yes, your dad.... He's dead."
