alyssa POV

What am I doing? What am I doing acting like a sex-starved slut in front of a stranger?

There was a hint of danger when he said he'll kill me. Given a different circumstance I would willingly oblige to his demand. I'm not a submissive, but this man's extraordinary charm and power were something an ordinary woman like me couldn't resist. I gathered all my willpower just to knock out all the earthly desires he provoked deep within me, in between my thighs particularly. I was here for a mission. I must not forget that.

What I went through to get to this place is no joke. I was looking for a man. For an underground black market surgeon. He's the best in the world, he's also by far the most dangerous, the most elusive and the most expensive doctor. I studied the world he lived in for several months. I have already interned with several high-ranking syndicate leaders just to find concrete information and enter his world. This is not the right time for me to deviate from the path.

i saw the masked man just went out of the private lounge. I know what he did. He killed someone inside that small room. I heard that the wild wolf only comes out of the den when someone is about to be killed. Only those who are about to die have the privilege of knowing his real identity behind the mask. it's him! Definitely.

"Dr. Wolf.." I whispered.

The man's grip tightened on me until now, making me trance. I was forced to look into his eyes, I immediately regretted it. his eyes were the shade of blue-green, they were ultimately alluring like some sort of a spell that can never be broken. I studied his face, even though I was drunk, I knew his face was the most perfect looking I've ever seen in my entire life. I wanted to see his face again, wanted to feel the warmth of his embrace and the hardness of his whole body against mine, again, in a different situation and in a different place.

"SSSssshh. This place is full of cold blooded criminals. The Masked Wolf himself is here. don't do anything that can catch their attention.." I found myself confessing to the godly stranger. I don't want it to be involved in any crime that can happen inside this bar. I suddenly felt like protecting him.

"Who are you..?" the man whispered.

"You don't have to know my name.."

"Oh honey, I need to.." his grip suddenly tightened. "You said this place is full of criminals, what makes you think I'm not one of them?"

The color of his fascinating eyes became darker. Its much more green than blue now. I know he really just wants to know my name. I am sure he is not a member of the syndicate, in my few months of studying the underground world in this part of America, I know almost all the prominent faces of those who belong to the syndicate. "If you weren't so handsome, I would have believed you to be a criminal." I'm sure he didn't understand me. "There's no way a face as angelic as this can be the devil.." for the last time I let my fingers run over the stranger's cheek. It felt like heaven.

"A devil can wear angel's clothing too.." he said staring at me intently. "Besides, he used to be an angel and God's favorite.."

I grinned meaningfully at him. "Kill me. If you're the devil you can kill me now. I'm a sinner, I don't mind going to hell if the devil is you?" I reached for his mouth. It was slightly opened and moist, he tasted really very good and addicting. I need to get away from him, before my plans for tonight get even more complicated.

When I let go of his lips, I saw the arrival of several uniformed policemen at the bar. They must have heard the crime that happened and rushed immediately. There was chaos all around. The man I was dancing with also noticed when his colleagues called him. when he let go of me, that was the moment I was waiting for, I immediately disappeared among the people still gathered on the dance floor.

I have to follow my aim. I need to talk to Dr. Wolf.

I expected Dr. to stay in this part of the port of large ships. wolf to hide from the police who expected it to arrive. But I didn't see any of its staff around. After a while the police arrived there.

Shit!

That's why the prickly doctor changed his plan. it's not easy to arrest just like that, it has once again upset the law enforcement officers. I hid in the huge barrels that were docked in that area. The police cannot see me but I will be implicated and investigated. I had to climb into the tall truck to hide at the height. It's a shame that my dress, it's still expensive, the hem just ripped off in no time because of my running and hiding. I still haven't talked to Dr. Wolf! I cried because if the police didn't intervene that doctor-slash-mafia leader wouldn't change his plan! Now I'm back to square one. I'll wait again for the Masked Wolfe to reappear in the underground world.

The cellphone attached to my thigh vibrated.

"Alyssa, have you talked to him?" said the person on the other line.

I clenched my fists.

"Give me a few more days, please..."

"You're running out of time."

damn I know.

Jandrix POV

"You find her?" I immediately asked my men when one of them returned and sat in front of the car I was hiding in.

"I'm sorry Boss. We followed her. She's a little concerning though, she knew the original escape route of the Masked Wolf, she even went there looking for you...and then she's gone. Even the police didn't see her.we had to go back, we cannot stay longer than necessary or we might compromise ourselves with the police.."

My hand clenched in anger. Just one woman, just one woman that got out of my sight and also out of my staff's sight? I was pissed that the side of the car was punched.

"We'll find her!" My staff said bowing down when they noticed my sudden heat. Tch. That girl seems to know a lot about the Masked Wolf, she also seems to be hiding a lot of secrets.

"That woman, I think is secretly following me and my whereabouts. you know I can't sleep with the thought of somebody trying to invade my privacy. So you know what to do. Bring her to me alive if you can, if she resisted, get rid of her." I calmly but firmly ordered my staff. I have a lot of trust in them, I know they can present that girl to me again. She knew about the existence of Dr. Wolf. She even knew he's the famous Masked Wolf, leader of the biggest syndicate organization in the whole United States. I smirked because he was facing me and he didn't recognize me. After all, not one of my partners in this dirty world, no one knows me. when I started the deadly and the dangerous world of underground crimes I made sure that my person was the biggest secret I would keep.

I went by the name of Masked Wolf. My identity was unknown, untraceable. with the extent of the group I hold and the number of people I have, except for my personal bodyguards, only four people report directly to me.

I called them Phantoms. Jan, Alec, Lee and Ares. They're the core commanders of my entire syndicate. their identities were elusive and shifting. All four of them can wear masks and introduce themselves as Masked Wolf on any occasion. I'm the big boss, the mind behind all the crimes, my Phantoms were my executors. They were also my frontliners.

so I won't be surprised if Ares, one of my Phantoms is the famous Dr. Wolf of that suspicious woman. Whatever he needs from me, whatever he has to do with the police who arrive at the crime scene, I need to find out. I need to see him again.

I dialed Jan's phone number. "I need you to organize a big black market auction in Dark Casino as soon as possible. Announce that I will personally host the event." I said while tapping my fingers on the side of the car's window. A meaningful smile appeared on my lips. if that woman is after me, I don't need to find her. She'll show herself voluntarily.
