Chapter: The storm is over(The end)Aliyah POV“Fuck,” I shouted. I had been trying so hard to fix the hairpin in the right direction on my well-permed hair. It would tilt sideways at intervals, and I would have to straighten it. Maybe I was looking at the mirror for too long. If Carey was here, maybe. My mind flashed to the last time I had seen her – body bagged up, headed to the morgue. It was a gory sight, one I never expected I would see Carey in. Kelan had told me how everything occurred; how she grew in rage after Jason shot himself, and fired at an officer. A bullet in her chest, and another buried deep into her head killed her instantly. “Fuck. You didn’t have to die like that, Carey,” I cursed, and soon fell to the ground, my face soiling with tears. I didn’t mind my wedding dress, as I kept pounding the floor, taking the hurt from every nudge I gave the hard floor. She was my best friend for as long as I have lived. The only person who could stand beside me on a day like this. She didn’t have to betray me

Chapter: Pit down your weapon Kelan POV“Jason, let's not do this. Just listen to the officers and put down your gun.” “No. I will do no such thing. I'm walking out of here with Carey and my mom and no one here is stopping me,” His voice retorted with anger laced all over his tone. “Sir, permission to fire,” one of the FBI agents called out to his superintendent. Their eyes glared at me as I threw quick glances at my phone screen awaiting Aliyah's call. We had agreed to split just in case Jason was smart enough to leave the babies behind and come here alone. He was and currently Aliyah and another team of agents were following the trace of the last call. The tracker was still on the phone line and we hoped to find them before Jason or Carey realizes. “No one is shooting my brother,” I jumped into the rising tension. Jason hands still held the gun firmly as I gradually walked to the front of the men. My hands we up, and I knew it wouldn't cost him so much to shoot me right now, but it was a move I was willing

Chapter: Declined ransomJason's POV“I cant believe Kelan’s got the balls to boldly say no to me. His boys should be more important than the company or money.” I nagged, kicking my feet in the air. “Clearly, he is not as dumb as you think he is. I did not see that coming, I had already imagined he would come crying and begging for his children.” Carley said to me with a smirk on her face which was quite confusing. I furrowed my brows from feeling displeased with her facial expression. “What?” she snapped.“What? Are you really asking me that?” I walked towards her and paused my steps when I was right in front of her. “What is this look on your face?” I asked her and I could hear her whimper. Clearly, my facial expression got her terrified and that is exactly what I wanted her to feel. “Nothing Jason. Get out of my face.” She said and pushed me to the side but I gripped her hand before she had the chance to take another step. “What was that about?” I asked her again. “Nothing! Jesus!” she exclaimed and

Chapter: Kidnapped Aliyah's POVMy heart raced. My mind throbbed. My head pounded. I stood apprehended not knowing the exact emotions to process. Fear? Anger? I wasn't certain of the particular one to settle for. So, I paced from one end of the house to the other, running my hands through my dishevelled hair. I stopped abruptly and turned around immediately the front door creaked open with Kelan running towards me."Hey honey," he rushed towards me and held me in a tight embrace."Are you okay?" he asked with a tone of concern. "K... Kelan..." I called in a teary voice."Baby," he responded, running his fingers through my hair."Talk to me. How did it happen?" he released me from the embrace and cupped my cheeks in his palms."Our boys... They... Our boys..." I trailed off, welling up in tears."Honey, put yourself together and tell me all about it," he dried my tears with his eyes.I sniffed then blew my nose noisily into a tissue."Come, sit," he draped his arms around my shoulder and walked me to th

Chapter: Hunt down my mother Kelan's POVAs I alighted from the cab and walked towards the wooden gate, a thousand thoughts cloud my mind. The past few days of my life had been dedicated to the search for my mum. I had talked with almost all of the old staff that worked in the company as at that time I figured that she was still around. But all of them had communicated their regrets of no longer having her contact. I had even looked up the internet but I realized that she wasn’t on any of the social media platforms. This woman whose house I approached, turned out to be my last resort. But I can’t help it but think if this search would turn out to be successful? If I wouldn’t get the same answers?Well, there is no better way to find out than finding out. So, pushing the gate silently, I walked in casting quick glances at my surrounding. Lilies and hibiscus flowers lined up at one end filling the atmosphere with the beautiful scent of nature. Standing at the door, I hesitated a while before I rang the bell. On the

Chapter: My JaredAliyah's POVMy soft hum filled the atmosphere as I gently stroked Jared whom I cradled in my arms. His body relaxed against mine while his little fingers curled around my index finger. I brewed a smile as I could see my face when I look at him, my exact prototype. Jacob, sat beside us grinning with content in his baby bouncer, sucking on his teething toy. His chubby cheeks curved into a smile then a chuckle, which was suddenly followed by a cry. I took the cry as a clue that he was trying to communicate that Jared's time in my arms was up. So, I carried him and Jared took his place in the baby bouncer. Minutes later, the front door creaked open, revealing Kelan, dressed in a black shirt tucked into an ash-coloured trousers. He loosened his tie as he walked over to where we were. "Hey, honey," he smiled. "Hey darl," I winked. "How was your day?" "Stressful," he sighed. "As usual," he replied, his voice sounding exhausted as he kept his briefcase gently on the table."My boys," he

Chapter: Rage of a LunaChapter 92Meera could not believe what was happening in front of her. She had been watching the little play that she found amusing, she had to give it to them that the wolves indeed had a flair for the dramatic. The way they were all standing and looking like they had just received the biggest shock of their lives amused her to no end. It was almost as if they still thought they would be able to save her and even if they thought they did, it was just something that made her laugh even more. Scarlett had been destined for death the moment she had been captured by Meera and she had been smiling just a few minutes ago at the amount of pain that she was causing the wolves to feel.Then the Oliver boy had done something, she felt the thrum of magic from him and her heart lurched as she realized that she had made a very big mistake. She thought Scarlett was one of a kind, the only wolf with a special ability and even though she had been seeing Oliver around he even tried to attack her beca

Chapter: Death of a Demi god? The head of hades saw that they were indeed taking their time to consider what their options might be. He was here, waiting, while they discussed if he was trustworthy or not. He felt he had made the right choice by changing his appearance, if he had appeared to them as his normal self then they would have never even looked at him twice talking less of considering what he was proposing. He got the feeling that they were also the recipients of one of Meera's bad actions, from what he heard she had kidnapped the daughter of these wolves and that was something that he did not understand. Why would Meera be interested in the daughter of some wolves, it must mean that there was something else that he was not seeing here. There must be something about the girl that Meera felt interesting, and to be sincere, he only knew one thing that would make Meera even stress herself to abduct the daughter of two alpha wolves.There was something different about these wolves though, the boy that was st

Chapter: A Luna in TroubleScarlett woke up to find Meera staring at her. Eleanor was not in the room and she didn't even realize that she had been so tired. The ordeal she has passed through these past few days made her feel like she was made of concrete and everywhere ached in her. She wasn't even sure what was what anymore, her leg felt numb, and the fact that she didn't sense Meera's presence when she came back in meant that she was also tired mentally too. She felt even more exhausted after the small chat she had with Oliver and the fact that she slept on the floor wasn't helping either, and now she had to deal with Meera looking at her like she was some unsatisfactory product.Meera already knew what she was there for. She had come to pacify Eleanor a bit and the little witch had asked for some permission to go out. She wanted to go to a mall. Meera sent her out with two guards, she was the ruler of the court of hades now so she had them at her beck and call, and she hoped that Eleanor would take an inter

Chapter: Fight of entities looming! Scarlett had just heard something that she considered unbelievable. She was sure that something was off because Meera just called herself someone's grandmother. She had actually been thinking that Meera was Eleanor's mother, all the acts of love and the fact that Meera looked so young, too young to be anyone's grandmother if she was being sincere, she could see that something might have happened at the court they went to. Eleanor seemed impatient for the power that she was promised to her and Meera also looked like she had a major headache and she didn't have the time to tolerate whatever insolence Eleanor might want to display.She also made a very shocking revelation right now, she was a grandmother but yet she looked like someone in her early thirties, a very young face and aura emanated off her and Scarlett could tell that wasn't normal. It was something to make yourself look young but Scarlett doubted that was what Meera was doing.She must have stolen someone's body. Meera was a

Chapter: Her true identityAt the moment some issues were transpiring in the pack house. Jay and Skyler seemed to have gotten into a big fight and they were busy arguing with one another.Jay kept on insisting that Skyler return to the city to oversee the affairs of the huge pack house and businesses they had there. It would be unreasonable for the both of them to abandon the affairs of the pack for so long, but Skyler was adamant. She swore never to return until she saw her daughter again. She could not even believe that Jay was asking her to abandon the whole matter and go back to the city. She knew that what Jay was saying would be the right thing to do, the pack was as much as a family would ever be to them. They were the leaders of the pack and they needed to be there for the pack but she was not going to abandon her family again.While they were in the midst of their arguments, Oliver ran to them panting. He had left the room for some fresh breath earlier and now this."What is the matter?" both Jay and S

Chapter: Crown the queen. The rest of the pack including Ian finally arrived at the pack house, the heavy atmosphere that they carried along with them was evident in the way they all sat with their head bowed and lost in thought.Oliver could not believe what had just happened, he felt guilty for thinking that Meera wasn't a threat and that Scarlett would be safe no matter what happened, to him, all that was going on wasn't just fair. First Scarlet got tortured in front of them and she gets taken to heaven knows where after that. He felt they should have attacked Meera all at a go the minute that she dared to work her foul magic on Scarlett and that was something that he resented not doing.Leia sensing his anger tried to touch him so he could calm down but he yanked his hand away and went to a corner of the room and he started pacing."Are you really going to act like this?" Leia asked, looking at him and for the first time, she saw anger in Oliver's eyes. It was not like she hadn't seen him angry before, jus

Chapter: He’s goneAyla's POVMy eyes molded as Damon turned to look at me. I tried to speak but my throat was dry and all I could utter was a gulp.“He's gone.” He said softly, his eyes peeked at me and in the corner of it was a glint of concern.I took my palm to my face and wiped off the tears rolling down my cheeks, straightening myself. I tried to maintain a strong pose, but who was I deceiving? Damon had seen me run out of Calyx's room and even protected me from getting caught.Still, I hoped he didn't know what I was facing, he might know because Calyx was mad about me due to what he told him but I really wished he didn't or perhaps stopped concerning himself with our issues.“Ayla, can you not hear me? Are you okay?” Damon asked, his eyes searched through mine as I was lost in thoughts.I whizzled out of my thoughts and stared back at him, “did you say something?”“Yes, I was asking if you want to see the grand Alpha but are you okay?” He asked instead. I nodded my head. “Are you sure? I don't m

Chapter: Who is he?Calyx's POVRaw rage burned within me as I excused myself from Carla and stormed out of the study.My heart pounded in my chest, as I took long strides in the dark hallway and within a few minutes, I had already gone up the flight of stairs which led to the master bedroom I shared with Ayla.Damon's words echoed in my mind, accusing me of being too harsh on Ayla. How dare he question my authority, my leadership as the alpha?I clenched my fists, in a bid to control myself until I got to Ayla.I had to put an end to this nonsense once and for all.My breaths were coming in heavy gasps and my fists were clenched. I reached the door to the master bedroom and threw it open, the door slamming against the wall with a loud bang.Ayla, who was sitting at her dressing table, was startled by my sudden entrance.Her tear-stained face looked up at me, confused. I caught a glimpse of fear as she sprang up , her eyes searching mine, but I pushed it aside.She needed to learn her place, to understan

Chapter: Her misery, my satisfaction Calyx's POVWatching Ayla's face fall as she saw us was more satisfying than I could have imagined. The fear in her eyes fueled a sense of triumph within me; it felt right to see her suffer, and Carla was unwittingly making it all too easy. Ayla's eyes were filled with shock and pain as she stumbled away, and I relished the moment.I knew it would break her, and I was prepared to mold back the pieces and shatter it all-over again this time harder.A hand snuck around my arm and I brought my eyes down to the small figure of Carla, she slipped her hand around my waist and I couldn't help but smile as I ran my fingers through her silky black hair."I'm happy we're doing this," she giggled, her artificial lashes fluttering. Lost in her beauty, I found myself drawn to her dimpled cheeks, unable to look away. With Carla, everything felt effortless, and now, just gazing at her, I was overwhelmed with desire."I'm never letting you out of my sight again, Carla," I whispered into her ear, brin

Chapter: His threatening gazeAyla's POVShivers wrecked my body as I stared down at my trembling legs, the fear that had seized me when Calyx locked eyes with me still lingered, threatening to consume me entirely.My hand crept up to clutch my chest, fingers tapping anxiously against my breastbone. I dared not raise my gaze until I sensed Calyx's movement, his presence filling the room with a suffocating intensity.With cautious agitation, I cracked open an eye, my heart hammering in my chest as I stole a glance at him. He sat at his mini-bar, pouring himself a drink, a casualness in his demeanor that sent a shiver down my spine.The urge to flee nibbled at me, but I couldn't muster the courage to escape his penetrating gaze. His eyes seemed to bore into me, stripping away every ounce of resolve I possessed.Disturbed by his earlier words about Dwayne's health, an urge to leave the room surged within me, propelling me to my feet. With a sharp inhale, I braced myself and made to leave the room, only to freeze in m

Tying my robe around my waist, I rushed to get the door and, for the first time, I sneaked out of the room not wanting to wake Ayla, who was deeply asleep and didn't hear the thud from the door.“What's going on? You sounded urgent.” I said, taking hasty steps towards Damon, who was standing quietly beside my door.He didn't reply and just stared at me, worry etched on his face. I was awoken by Damon's hushed voice, he had mind linked me and yelled my name severally asking me to get out of bed.“Damon,” my brows twitched as I looked back at him, what could he be hiding in that strong face of his? “What is this about?”He suddenly moved and faced me properly, “it's about your father, Dwayne fell into coma last night.” His words felt like a sledgehammer to my heart.Sweat broke down my forehead, I looked at him, shock enveloping my senses. “Father was fine when I spoke with him, how-w d

I called out settling into one of the sofas in the room.It had been twenty minutes since I had sent for the healer, the long minute had been filled with an emptiness that expanded deep in the inside of me till it threatened to eat me alive.How fitting my belief had been that this was the only way out. Much as the entire thought of what I was about to do seemed to me as being desperate, I was beginning to realize it had to be done.I stood in the middle of the beautiful apartment and felt nothing but cold and emptiness as the door opened, three people walked into the room and as my gaze turned to meet them, a smile came up on my face.My mind spun with desperate thoughts of how all of this was going to end.

Chapter: kiss, kiss !! kiss!!! Things were really getting out of hand.Jay sighed, not for the first time, as he shifted from foot to foot. He was now tending to the fires that were slowly dying, trying to keep it up for much longer as the nighttime was all around him. With the sunset, had come the loss of warmth, and also the sounds of the forest waking up.The weary Alpha, still searching for his missing daughter, put more kindling into the fire, feeding it and tending to it. He needed to make the kindling last until the next hours as he rested for a bit, and before then, this fire could not under any circumstance, go off.Once he was fairly certain that the fire was not going to be dying anytime soon, Jay sat back on the log of wood he had been occupying for the past few hours.The sounds of crickets chirping and the nocturnal animals waking up caused Jay to mutter under his breath.He never had been very comfortable with staying out in the woods in this way, and he tried to avoid it at all costs before.
