Summary: Run, Addie, the Constable is coming for you.....
“Girl, are you ok?” Alexa asked Addie, who was aimlessly poking her food with her fork.
“Hmm? Oh, yeah. I’m-I’m good. Just thinking is all.” She said, giving Alexa her best attempt at a reassuring smile.
“Oooh, a certain Constable running through your mind?” Nia asked with a cheeky grin.
Oh, he occupied her mind alright. For the past couple weeks he would lurk around her work station, watching her every move. If she turned a corner, he’d be at the end of the hallway. When she tried talking to someone about what had happened, he’d show up and slowly shake his head while raising a single finger to his lips, a threatening smile on his face. Wherever Addie was, Baron was sure to be, crowding her world and plaguing her mind.
“Mind if I join you ladies?” Addie’s head snapped up as she gawked at Baron who was standing right next to her chair, staring directly at Addie.
She immediately stiffened, her grasp on her fork tightening. She’d be lying if she said she wasn’t scared shitless. What she wouldn’t give to go back in time and choose the ice cream over running in the damn woods. See, this is why exercising is dangerous!!
“Not at all, in fact Alexa and I were about to leave but why don’t you stay and keep Addie company?” Nia said, winking at Addie. She knew all about Addie’s crush on Baron but had no clue about the pure fear that was currently surging through her body.
“I’d love nothing more.” He smirked, not once breaking eye contact as he sat down right across from Addie, who was mentally begging the girls to stay.
Once they had left, Addie looked everywhere else but at Baron. Why was he sitting here? She hadn’t breathed a word of what happened to anyone, had she? Oh shit, Cory! She had asked Cory an innocent enough question about Baron’s past, well tried at least, but is there really such a thing as an innocent question?
Feeling like she was gonna throw up, Addie tried to push her chair back but found that it wouldn’t budge. Sighing, she looked under the table and saw that Baron had one of his long legs extended, hooking his foot around one of the legs on her chair, preventing her from leaving.
“Why are you doing this to me?” She whispered. “I haven’t told anyone about your condition.” She seethed, but quickly covered her mouth. The last thing she needed right now was Baron getting pissed off.
Baron licked his lips as he looked at the scared girl in front of him. Her body was soft, unlike all the other women he had been with before. His wolf wanted to jump over the table and bury his face in her belly, her fear doing nothing to sate the beast.
“Yes, but I’m here to remind you who you’re dealing with.” A dangerous grin on his face. Leaning forward, he placed a large calloused hand on her forearm. “I heard you asking Cory about me. Did you really think that my best friend wouldn’t tell me you were digging for information?” She winced at his vice like grip on her arm.
Addie sucked in a breath, damnit she was stupid to go to Cory. By now her hands were shaking, panic beginning to set in. Feeling like she had no other option she decided that bad decisions were the way to go as of late.
‘So much for not pissing him off.’ She thought to herself as she quietly raised her foot and, with all her might, stomped Baron’s leg that held her captive.
Baron yelled in pain, retracting his leg and letting go of Addie as she seized the opportunity to make her escape. She quickly ran from catering, Baron hot on her heels.
“Shit! Shit! Shit” Addie muttered as she ran from Baron, taking odd turns here and there. Why were the hallways always so empty?!
Growing tired, she found a small crevice behind a few crates. Crawling in, she pressed her back against the wall, pulling her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around her knees as she listened for any sign or Baron. Steadying her breathing, she heard heavy footsteps run past the hallway that she was currently hiding in. Just to be safe, Addie waited a few minutes before crawling out of her hiding place. As she dusted off her clothes, she felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.
‘Yup, this is where I die.’ She thought to herself.
She silently slid into the dark corner of the hallway hoping that by some miracle she’d go unnoticed. Just as she reached the corner, she was slammed against the wall, her back stinging from the impact. Strong hands pinned hers above her head, Baron’s face mere inches from hers. The soft light from the main hallway barely illuminating half of his face, but she didn’t need much light to see his angry expression. Addie stared at Baron, noticing that his brown eyes were now pale blue and his teeth were sharp, his canines longer than the others.
“In what universe did you think that was a good idea?” He said, his voice gravelly and dangerously low.
Addie kept her mouth shut. She wanted to scream at him, tell him to get bent, but ‘eaten by werewolf ‘ didn’t sound like a fun way to die.
“When will you learn to answer me? What’s wrong, kitten, wolf got your tongue?” He growled, his breath fanning across her face.
Not one to think before she spoke, Addie looked him in the eyes and blurt out;
“I have a mint in my bag if you’d like.” Earning a loud growl in her face.
Addie closed her eyes as she quickly turned her head to the side, her neck left exposed as Baron stared at the soft, inviting skin. Little did she know that his wolf took this as her presenting her neck to him, a sign of submission. She flinched as Baron ran his nose up her neck, inhaling her intoxicating aroma, however it was then that he noticed something off about her scent. Later on he’d think about what it could be but for now he drowned himself in his prey. Addie whimpered when she felt him drag his warm tongue along her jugular. She had to bite her bottom lip to stop a moan from escaping. Still, she couldn’t help the fear from taking over again.
“Please,” she softly pleaded, “don’t eat me.” Hearing her beg made him shudder as he pressed his body closer to hers.
“Trust me, little rabbit,” he kissed under her ear before he continued, rubbing his jaw into her neck, “if I did, you’d be begging me to never stop.” He growled against her now heated skin.
She slowly turned her head back to him, looking into his eyes. She wished the situation was different, that she was in this position under different circumstances, but no, she was here because she pissed off a werewolf. Baron stared at her full lips, leaning down, moving closer to Addie. She couldn’t lie, she dreamt of this day for so long, she didn’t care how it happened. She closed her eyes, the heat from his lips moving so close to her waiting mouth. But before their lips met he let out a dark chuckle.
“Keep quiet little girl and we won’t have to keep meeting like this.” He whispered, a cruel laugh leaving his lips as he pulled back, leaving Addie feeling humiliated.
He backed up, walking away from her and around the corner. How could she have been so foolish?!
‘Wake up Addie,’ she scolded herself ‘in what world would Baron Corbin ever want someone like you?’
Wiping away a few tears, she slowly made the long walk back to her work station, put on a brave face and went on as if nothing happened. She knew that she was nothing more than a thorn in Baron’s side, a new form of entertainment for him. But like a child with a new toy, he’ll eventually grow tired of her and move onto something new.
Dolph stood in the backroad watching Addie as she set up her station. Something was different about her, something...submissive. It called to him. He silently made his way over to her.
“Hey, beautiful,” Addie looked up from organizing her makeup supplies to see Dolph smiling at her in the mirror’s reflection, “why so sad?”
“Oh, hi Mr. Ziggler, how can I help you?” She asked, avoiding his question completely.
He wasn’t buying it. He walked closer to her and wiped away the residue from her tears with his thumbs. “How many times do I have to tell you? It’s Dolph.” He gave her a sympathetic smile, his hands staying on her face.
“Thank you, Dolph.” She whispered with a sad smile, placing her right hand around Dolph’s left wrist.
“Don’t cry cutie, things will be alright.” He gave her a wink as he left her to finish her work.
Addie watched him through the mirror as he retreated, a curious and confused expression occupying her face. Dolph had never looked twice at her. Up until this very moment, she wasn’t aware that Dolph even knew her name. She smiled to herself, maybe she could forget about Baron through Dolph...
But then again, it was pointless for her to invest her feelings in anyone at this point.
Addie was so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t notice a pair of eyes watching her and Dolph from the shadows.
