Chapter: EpilogueEpilogueFour Months LaterTara shifts in her sleep kicking and screaming fighting off, what I can only imagine is the nightmare of my cousin and Uncle. It makes my heart sink watching her struggle with the invisible attackers desperately. Frankie told me what she said about her being drugged and too afraid to eat or sleep for two days because she was scared. The look on my brother’s face when he told me about her requesting a rape kit because she was terrified, he had taken advantage of her. While he recounted her story of the first day alone with him to me. It was enough to make me want to dig their asses back up and torture the bastards all over again. It had been four months since we found her in the tunnels half-naked and covered in dirt, her feet bloody and bruised from her running barefoot in those tunnels alone. She was a survivor, my girl, she hadn’t given up once. Not even when she was staring down the barrel of my uncle’s thirty-eight.When I heard the shot ring out in th

Chapter: Safe... Chapter 33TaraIt had been hours since Damon took off to find Gio leaving me trapped alone in the strange windowless room. I had checked everywhere for a way out but there wasn’t any, outside of the large steel bolted door he used to leave. I could not shake the continuous fear that I was going to die here it paralyzed me with fear to think that this was how I died. After everything had been through everything, I fought for this was the end for me. But why upset me was the fact that I would never see my friends or family ever again. Never get to joke and laugh with Evet and AJ again never get to see Lourdes again.Worst of all I would never get to hold my baby girl, and neither would Gio. I was so pissed at him for being suspicious of Damon, for doubting me How could I have been so stupid. Gio had warned me about him he had tried to keep me away from him and he was right. To think I wasted all this time fighting him on this when all he was trying to do was protect me, I even blamed

Chapter: Set the world on fire Chapter 32GioThe sound of wood crashing as the chair I tossed falls in splinters on the floor in front of my closed office door echoes through my home office. It had been over forty-eight hours over twenty went missing and there still wasn’t any update as to where she had been.“What the fuck do you mean you can’t find anything, where the fuck are the men, we had on her?”“Gregorio is dead, and I caught his partner trying to sneak out of town with a couple of sacks full of cash. The mook had over about a mill on him when we caught him at my friend’s car lot downtown. He’s got some interesting things to say about where he got the money from, I thought you might want to hear about its boss.”“Bring him in.” I command the door opens and the sound of a man desperately pleading for my men to let him go. Before being shoved into the office landing on his knees as they through him to the ground in front of me. I inspected the face of the pathetic weasel of a man as he looked up to me. H

Chapter: A wolf in sheep's clothingChapter 31Tara“Hey, Tara, you, ok?” Damon asks me from the driver seat as I stare out the window watching the cars go by. The chilly October rain landing against the window as I try to take in the beautiful fiery colors of the autumn kissed leaves. “Yeah, I’m ok still a little nauseous, though.”“You sure? I know that had to be tough with your ex trying to come back into your life after all this time. Why is that any way? I mean the guy ditched you soon as he finds out your pregnant accuses you of cheating on him, but now he’s suddenly trying to win you back.”“That’s Gio alright a manipulative bastard to the end. I cannot believe I hoped that he would eventually realize how wrong he was and apologize not try to buy my forgiveness. Of course, he only showed up himself when he thought I was moving on. God forbid he actually showed he cared about me or the baby.” “The man’s fucked up in the head, serves him right that he’s losing his fucking mind after losing you.”“Yeah, I guess it’

Chapter: Feeling of DreadChapter 30GioFrankie stands across from me glaring bullets at me as I wait patiently for Steel to respond. “Sorry about that boss the waiter just came back, she sent the food bac,” Steel says before pausing I could tell he had something else to say but was considering if he should tell me or not.“What is it?”“He said they wanted him to tell you to go fuck yourself.” He says quickly.“Noted, is she still there?”“No, they’re getting ready to leave now, Should I keep tailing her?”“No put one of the guys on here if she spots you then she’ll get suspicious and there’s no telling where she might go if that happens. Head back to the office Frankie is already here and Shadows on his way now.”“Ok be there in twenty.” he says before hanging up.“Good that’s what your ass gets.” Frankie says as the phone cuts out he was the first person I called after she left the other day. I knew that he was still pissed at me, but he knew why I had to do it. I had my suspicions that someone in my comp

Chapter: Too late to apologize...Chapter 29TaraAfter a couple hours of arguing over buying every damn thing girlie inside the baby boutique Evet chose. We finally made our way back to the coffee shop near her house to grab something to eat I sat at our table near the window waiting patiently for Evet to grab our order as I scrolled through my new phone making sure my contacts and apps were successfully reinstalled. I had not bothered to look up from my screen as she sat back down.“Hey there beautiful looks like we meet again.” Damon says from Evet’s seat.“Oh hey, what are you doing here?” I ask caught off guard by his presence.“I thought that was you, I was just stopping by to get some coffee I live right around the corner. But I haven’t seen you around here before, what brings you here?”“I’m here with my friend Evet we were getting some shopping done and decided to stop by for something to eat.”“That makes sense. So, shopping huh? Get anything good to surprise that husband of yours?”“No, I actually found out

Chapter: Back to the future...“I do, but not every fucking day or night until I can’t stand straight.” She shouts back seeming fed up with his attempt to reverse the blame to her. I can sense her own anger creeping into my thoughts as wave after wave of every fight argument or negative experience she had with the man rushed through my mind before cutting short as the rage forced its way back into my mind. It is the most intense wave of emotions I ever sensed from her increasing my own furry at the thought of her being upset.“Whatever man, you just be trying to play the fuck out of me you want to leave good get your shit and leave. Oh, and don’t fucking come back either, your ass bet not try to come back to my fucking house for shit I’m throwing all your shit in the garbage today.” He threatens. I was seeing red how dare he threaten her after everything he’s done to her.“Fine, there is nothing important in your house anyway, all you have is my old furniture and clothes I don’t even wear anymore. And Your stuff wi

Chapter: Speaks to me...Two hours later and I was back in Columbus one mile closer to my Selena, Mecca’s voice continues reading off instructions in my ear while I imagine the next encounter with her.“Your target is up ahead on your righthand side.”Making the right I turn just in time to see her enter the large store quickly parking my bike I rush to follow her inside. She grabs a cart and slowly walks through the store scanning each aisle as she pushes her cart forward. I trail behind her watching with curiosity as she picks up a beauty supplies reading the labels before comparing it to another and placing both in her cart. She continues that pattern for almost half an hour searching comparing and then continuing. She was so adorable pacing and swaying even humming and talking to herself as she debated her purchases. The whole process felt intimate observing her like this from a distance I wished for nothing more than to beside her as I slipped behind another aisle avoiding her spotting me as she looks a

Chapter: The other side... Chapter Twelve (Asin)My heartbeat pounds in my ears as fear and excitement rush over me it was her, she was here, and she was alive. My mate was not one of the lost souls who were massacred by the Jahova she was actually alive. I had to find her I had to tell my brother we had a mate, and she was so beautiful. How could we be so favored better yet how could I be so stupid as to lose her. I was ok I had her license plate number that was all I needed to find her. I take out my phone searching for the photo then use my hidden app I installed to link into the ships main computer enter the license plate number. Sounds sirens echo in the distance was that the police. Why were they here? Could my little mad dash have scared my mate so badly she called them? Never mind that I needed to get out of here, I couldn’t be seen by the authorities. They woul

Chapter: Relax...“Yeah, I bet there certainly hasn’t been any shortage of surprises so far.” I shake my headShe laughs at my response. “Trust me I get it I was raised with them they definitely aren’t too great at the whole communication thing but trust me for what the lack in communication skills they make up for it in compassion, kindness and sincerity. I am not just saying that because I’m their baby sister either.”“That’s some what of a relief especially after what happened recently. Asin was definitely a major concern after the way he broke into my apartment while Ra and I were in bed. Then I thought he killed Ra until he told me they were brothers before jedi mind grouping me and telling me he was my mate as well.”“Wait he did what? You mean Asin the one who brought you here right? Are you sure?”“Yeah, tall handsome gold eyes and glowing tattoo on his neck short dreads looks like a Michael B Jordan doppelganger from Black panther.”“Wow that’s Asin alright but he’s normally not so…”“Homicida

Chapter: Three is company...Did she just say mates as in plural? “Mates…?” I say raising my eyebrows thinking she may have had a slip of the tongue.“Yes Mates, Abasi and Abubakar. I do not think anyone was more surprised than I was when they both marked me at the same time. It was the immediate attraction that did it for me; I maybe a lot of woman but hot damn, those two would have me bare foot and pregnant right now if I did not insist on them giving me at least another year to wait after the triplets were born. Those two are the textbook definition of insatiable I could barely climb out of bed before they were demanding to mate with me.” She threw her hands up in an exaggerated motion.I laughed at her flustered response and couldn’t help but ask. “So, with it being three of you… is it harder having two mates? I mean how do you determine who goes first or who gets time with you first?”“Who gets time with me first or who has their turn first. Honey it’s not a gang bang.’’I spit out my mouth full of coffee at

Chapter: WTF!?My stomach feels as if its full of a swarm of butterflies and I open my eyes again searching for the door readying myself to heave only to see that I'm not in my car. In fact, I was not even outside anymore but in a stranger room with bronze covered wall with deep teal accents. The room was scattered with candles and deep teal and coper covered furniture. There was a mid-size deep teal sectional with copper accent pillows coupled with a matching ottoman Adirondack chair and a long oval shaped copper coffee table. Under the coffee table was a long fluffy looking deep teal area rug. The room was massive and seemed to have two adjoining rooms connected leading out to what undoubtedly was a large room with a similarly beautiful design. I turned my head examining the room further to my left was a long copper framed full-length mirror as well as an odd copper door seemingly smaller than the other two it had to be a closet of some sort, I think to myself as I turn to my right and realize that
