Chapter 10: The Hunter

"Hey! look who's here," Lauren said as Selena entered the secretaries' office. Miya turned her head and looked at Selena.

"Hey Selena, I knew you were going to be the secretary to the CEO." With a genuine smile, "Welcome aboard." Miya added.

"Thanks Miya. I'm really excited that I'm going to be working in here with you both..., I can really learn a lot."

"Yeah yeah, it's going to be a great time with all of us together. Right Lauren?" Miya said

"Absolutely." Lauren replied Miya. Turning her attention to Selena. " Come over and have your seat here." She said and pointed to a corner of the room.

The corner was arranged with a polished mahogany desk and two chairs, one at each side. 

On the top of the desk, a computer and a telephone was placed there and she walked towards it. As if timing her movement the telephone rang immediately she settled down and she picked it.

"Come to my office now." She heard Kelvin's commanding voice from the other side of the line and he hung up.

"Damn!" She hissed.

Seeing her expression change, Miya and Lauren could already guess who called her. There was only one person who could make a call like that and it was their CEO.

Selena stood up from her seat, "The CEO..."

Not allowing her to complete her sentence, Miya smiled, "We understand."

"Yeah, the boss could be tough but don't worry, you'll learn a lot from him." Lauren chimed in.

Nodding her head with a smile, Selena left the room and went to Kelvin's office. "You sent for me Sir." She said respectfully when she stood at his front. 

Kelvin was still resting on his sofa with his eyes closed, the same place Selena left him. Hearing her voice, he spoke without opening his eyes or turning his head. "Take the files on my desk, go through it and give me a detailed feedback." He said

Turning her head to his desk, she saw the file he was talking about and it was the same file she saw him holding earlier. "Okay." She replied and picked up the file.

Walking out of his office, she heard his voice and stopped in her tracks. "Seat down here and go through it."

"Sir?..." She pouted her lips 

"You heard me." He said sternly still not looking at her.

Selena felt discomforted. "How will she survive with this strict man? Was the universe turning it's back on her?' Pushing the thoughts to the back of her mind she decided to remain positive.

Burying her discomfort beneath her professionalism, she nodded with a smile. She sat on one of his chair, crossing her legs she began going through the files.

Delving deeper into the file, her face showed a hint of excitement and it didn't go unnoticed by Kelvin. While Selena was busy with her work, Kelvin opened his eyes and stared at her. 

He was surprised that she didn't ask him any questions about the content. "What's going through her mind?" He whispered in his head as he saw the excitement on her face.

As time progressed, Kelvin couldn't contain his curiosity but why. He wanted her to ask him questions or say something, this silence was killing him. He was a man of little words and power but yet just this woman's silence made him feel like he needed to talk.

Clenching his fist, he shut his eyes more tightly. "Whats going on with me? Why am I getting angry over nothing?" He asked himself

"Pull yourself together Kelvin. Maybe her father was lying, maybe she knows about her power and is manipulating you." He tried scolding himself. 

"Why would Mr Riley lie to him? No, he's not someone to do such." He hissed frustrated and the next seconds he heard Selena's voice.

"Is something wrong?" She asked softly.

Without answering her, he hissed again, stood up from his sofa and left the office.

"What an annoying punk." She mused when he left. Just only this morning, Selena could not count the amount of times she had complained about this man in her head. His attitude was frustrating her.

Getting back to her work, she brushed the thought off her mind.

Kelvin left his office and went to Jorge's office. Jorge was surprised when he saw Kelvin enter his office. "What's this man doing here." He whispered as he gave Kelvin a questionable look.

"Why are you here?" He asked

"Don't I have the right to go anywhere in my company?" Kelvin gave Jorge a cold glare.

"Do whatever you want." Jorge simply said and fixed his eyes back on his laptop screen.

Kelvin massaged his temple and rested his back on the wall. "Selena is going to be living with me now." He said.

Jorge paused in what he was doing and looked at Kelvin. "Why? Is she going to be your sex toy?" Jorge asked. He hates it when Kelvin used women for his pleasure because he knew the consequence,the woman is going to die.

"Sex toy?" a vicious smile crept on his face. "That would actually be nice. Tell me Jorge, how do you think she would be on bed?" Kelvin knew Jorge hated whenever he talked about pleasures and sometimes he wonders if Jorge was going to remain a saint till he meets his mate.

Kelvin laughed at the thought. 'Mate..' It takes years for a werewolf to find their mate and some unlucky ones never find their mates but here his friend is still hoping to get defiled by only his mate. "Pathetic!" he scoffed.

"Why don't you find out yourself since she's going to be living with you?" Jorge answered with irritation in his voice.

Getting a satisfied reaction from Jorge he smiled to hisself. He always liked whenever Jorge becomes irritated by his actions or words because when it comes to him, Jorge never seize to shoot him with knife-like words.

Returning back to his serious expression. "I made a deal with her father and I must keep to it. You know I don't go back on my words".

Jorge knew Kelvin but what he doesn't understand was the deal he made with Selena's father and why he made the deal. Knowing Kelvin since childhood, he knows that Kelvin wouldn't go into something that he won't gain from. Kelvin always went for deals that would benefit him in great ways but now what kind of deal did he make.

As if reading Jorge thoughts, "I made a deal to protect Selena and in return I can use her powers to have my revenge on Peter's father." Kelvin said bluntly 

"Mr Riley?" Jorge asked

"Yes, Frederick Riley. The man known as the hunter." Kelvin said.

Jorge was shocked by Kelvin revelation. He knew Frederick but he never knew he is Selena's father. 

'The hunter,' a title given to one man, the man that killed hundreds of werewolves just to leave the Zahit Pack and have a normal life as he termed. Selena's father is a living legend among Werewolves.

Jorge remembered that when he was growing up he had wished to be as strong as Frederick. Who would believe that the same man is now weak to protect his daughter that doesn't even know who she is.

"I understand you want Selena's power but why? Selena is just a hybrid so why will you want her power when you're hundred times stronger than her." Jorge asked.

Kelvin sighed as he walked towards Jorge and sat down opposite him. He cleared his throat and began explaining everything to Jorge without leaving a stone unturned.

Jorge's mouth fell open in disbelief. In his entire life, he has never seen anyone having the crescent mark. He only heard of Kelvin's mother but he never saw her.

"What do we do now?" Jorge managed to say

"Avenge my father's death." Kelvin gave a bitter reply.
