Chapter: 12.Natasha walked nervously into the restaurant.She had an appointment with Sierra. She walked in and within a few seconds, she spotted Sierra seated at a corner of the restaurant.It was a reserved table. Sierra had a casual expression as she flipped through the menu.Natasha walked over."Hi, Natasha."Raising her head, Sierra said, as she smiled at her. "Hi, Sierra." Natasha nervously sat down on a chair opposite Sierra's."Good evening... I'm glad you could make it." Sierra beckoned at a waitress.The waitress came over, and with a smile, she asked,"What would you like to order, ma'am?" She was polite."A plate of sandwich please, and a cup of espresso. And what would you like, Natasha?"Sierra turned towards the calm-looking lady seated in front of her."A glass of orange juice, please." Natasha smiled."Is anything wrong with you? You seem lost," Sierra asked in concern. She was suspicious.Why was she acting guardedly around her?"No ma'am, I'm all good," Natasha said and forc

Chapter: 11.Sierra sighed in relief."Phew... That was close. I should have asked a maid to come to remind me of her arrival." Sierra muttered as she patted her chest.But, she still did not dare to relax. It was only going to be a matter of time before Nora noticed the drive was missing.She had to transfer the content.Sierra ran out of Nora's room and directly to her dad's study where she immediately started transferring the content and within some minutes the transfer was done.The only obstacle was how to return the flash drive to Nora's room without her knowing. As Sierra walked towards her room thinking of what she could do, she saw her walking down the stairs to the dining section.Sierra sighed in relief."Phew, that was close" she mumbled as she hurried into the room and returned the drive.Unknown P O VUnknown location.A pair of eyes were looking at the whole scenario through a computer. His gaze was intense and he chuckled lightly, seeing her actions.He collected a cigarette from t

Chapter: 10.Sierra was confused as there were chances her mom could be related to that woman."What the hell is going on?" She grumbled, pacing around her room and trying to figure out answers to her unlimited questions.She had just arrived back home after the banquet. Zeke had taken her to meet his friends, Christian and Jackson. And they were quite interesting people. Christian was even more casual and relaxed than Zeke. At some point, she thought he was even low-key flirting with her. Until she realized he was just the jovial and playboy type.Jackson was quieter and more gentlemanly. He seemed to be calmer than the other two.But Sierra would not be a fool to believe that he was not a playboy too.Sierra sighed and slumped back on the bed, recalling the image of the woman she had seen in Zeke's wallet. She looked familiar and almost like her mom.She couldn't ask her dad for any information because he told her not to touch her mom's belongings and he usually hesitated to tell her about her m

Chapter: 09. It had only been a few minutes after he left that Sierra stood up from the sofa. She had tried to nap a little. But, she was unable to sleep.Her mind continued to reel over his words while he was in his drunken state. She wondered what he meant. And, Sierra was curious. Not only because how words were mysterious, but because she realized she didn't know Zeke that well.And, since she was going to get married to him, she had to know everything about him.She picked up her phone from the bed and dialed a number. It belonged to her father's private investigator named Natasha. She was very efficient and trustworthy."Good morning, ma'am" Natasha spoke from the other end, the moment the call was connected.Sierra sat on the sofa, her legs clamped together to reduce the tension at the realization that what she was about to do was wrong. It was disrespectful to poke into others' privacy. But, she had to know."Morning," she responded a little tensely. "I have a job for you. And I want the

Chapter: 08.Dad was quiet for a moment as he seemed to be pondering. After a moment, he finally nodded and said, "Of course. No problem."Then, he narrowed his gaze at Zeke. "I'm entrusting her to you. Nothing must happen to her."Upon hearing this, Zeke flashed a vibrant smile toward Sierra. Then, he said, "Of course, I will. She's my wife. If I don't, who will?"His words got Sierra raising an eyebrow, seemingly disgusted. She seemed to be about to explode in anger but she calmed herself after seeing how happy her dad was."Let's go.." She said trying to end their conversation since it made her very uncomfortable."Okay then," Zeke said bowing slightly towards dad before stretching out his hands to hold her.She was hesitant at first but she just had to.They finally left the mansion and entered his car before she drove off. In the car, Sierra just couldn't help but yell at him."Spend the night with you in a hotel? I'd rather die than stay near you for thirty minutes" she spat."It's no big de

Chapter: 07.Sierra's brows shot up slightly as she looked at Nora."What's she looking for?" She muttered and immediately followed her into the room.As she entered the study, she saw her standing behind her dad's desk. Her hand was on the desk near his computer. Sierra's gaze narrowed. "What are you doing there?" She asked startling Nora who jumped back immediately."I... I came to check something," she said stammering a little. Probably from the shock of seeing Sierra appear suddenly. Sierra looked at her with a hooded gaze. She could tell that Nora was lying. And she wasn't sure what to make of it. After all, Nora was also considered like a sister and she had access to all rooms in the house since they were children.So, it would seem farfetched to accuse her baselessly and without any solid proof.Sierra looked at her and said pointedly, "Dad must not find you here. Leave." "Alright," Nora replied with a tiny voice. She walked out of the study with a sincere and innocent-looking smile on h

Chapter: 37“Ma, I am on my way to the office” Tessa cut through her statement.“Who told you are still needed in the company, you big bag of worthlessness!” Candice scolded.Tessa felt the strong urge to stretch her hands through her phone screen and slap Candice.She had never in her life felt insulted before. She compared her life in her pack as a Luna, and imagined what would have been done to Candice or anyone who could ever dare to insult her.Torture, would have become her second name.“I am on my way.” Tessa replied. It was all she could think of as a reply.Tessa took a deep breath, stared at the digits on her table, and was nearly tempted to pick it up and call Chris.“No” Tessa yelled at her self, and summoned up the courage to stand up from the couch.She held onto the wall to avoid from falling down and strolled to her room.Her room was surprisingly still in it’s messy state, the state it had been when she was jumping on her bed after receiving the acceptance mail.Tessa pulled out

Chapter: 36The journey back to her house seemed like the longest she had ever experienced, but she still could not compare it to how long her journey was while relocating.Tessa sat in the back seat of the tinted Toyota car. The fact that it was tinted got her thinking wildly.Why would he even have a tinted car if he was not sent by Chris?No, anybody could have a tinted car, but she felt like he had something up his sleeves.“I love Adele's music, I hope you do,” Chris said in more of a statement after he had played a song on the diskette.Tessa loved Adele, she loved her song, and he just had to play the one that she loved most, but at the moment, she hated Adele.She hated her for being loved by Chris, the unusually nice stranger.“How far am I from my house?” Tessa asked. She did not want to ask, but hearing Chris sing along to her favorite song got her pissed off.She wanted to sing along, and give the hand movement, just like she always did when she was with her ex-husband, but she could

Chapter: 35‘’Just get out’’ She managed to raise her voice slightly while avoiding his gaze.‘’Nurse!’’ Tessa tried screaming, surprisingly, just as though the nurse was waiting for her yell, a female busty lady in a white gown walked swiftly into the room.‘’Who is this man’’ She managed the stretch out her fingers.‘’Please do not stress yourself too much, the baby…’‘’I am asking who this guy is, and why is he here, get him out’’ Tessa yelled in a low-sounding tone.‘’Sir, but I thought you knew her, he is your friend and neighbor’’ the nurse turned towards Chris, who all the while, was leaning on the wall with his face in his palm.‘’Yes, I am her neighbor.’’‘’Please can you kindly leave the room, we do not want anything that will stress our patient’’ The nurse kindly requested.‘’Maybe, she just cannot recall who you are’’ the nurse whispered in his ear when they were both at the door, hoping that Tessa would not be able to hear them, but who were they kidding, she could still hear their f

Chapter: 34Tessa held onto her knee, feeling a hot liquid seeping into her fingers and rolling into her palm. It has been a long time since she last felt such physical pain.As a normal wolf, Tessa expected that the pain she felt from hitting the edge of the bed would be long gone after a short period, but it only seemed to get worse.She limped from the floor and into the bathroom, where she sprinkled some droplet of water on her now bloody wound.She wondered what could be wrong with her body, maybe, just maybe, she was experiencing some pregnancy stuff, but then, she could vividly recall when her friend was pregnant and she had mistakenly fallen from a staircase, it did not take up to a minute for her to get from the floor and behave like nothing ever happened. The pain was long gone. Why the hell was her case different?‘’Ahha!’’ Tessa could no longer hold in the pain.she had heard cases of pregnant ladies finding it hard to heal, but really, she could not experience such, she was a wolf.W

Chapter: 33"Who are you?" He yelled into the shadows, just when the person was about to come into the light.“I am the one you love the most, I am your greatest nightmare, I am your weakness, I am your strength”.“Speak not in parables and get straight to the point, I am not afraid...”“Ahha!”Bryce screamed at the stinging pain of a came that just landed on his back.“Speak...” He was interrupted by another stinging pain.He tried his best to hold in the scream. He was sure that the cane could not be a normal one, it had to have spikes of silver branches He felt weaker with each stroke.“Do not talk when I talk the female voice said calmly, as though she could not feel the pain from Bryce's screams.“You thought you could end me. I will be back”.The pain on his back, covered up for every previous pain he could ever felt in his life. If it was a normal cane, he probably would not have screamed that much, but the silver strings just had to be his weakness even as an Alpha.He tried moving from t

Chapter: 32Candice walked into Bryce office, after the two interviewers had ended their meeting with him.‘’So!’’ Candice placed her hand on Bryce desk casually.‘’How was your interview with the no experience candidate?’’ She asked.Candice gave a sarcastic chuckle, which was not intended to be loud but eventually came out as so.Bryce lifted his head from his desktop where he was reviewing the replied of the candidates, and glared at Candice.‘’Her interview was 0kay’’ He replied in an indifferent tone and got back to his key pad.‘’I really prayed for it to be a success. Do you know that when I was coming to your office, I spotted her by the corridor, she had that sober look on her face.’’ Candice laughed. She knew that she was overstepping her boundaries, but she equally hated the girl from first sight and gossiping her would be her only revenge mode.‘Okay’’ Bryce repeated the first reply.‘’ can’t you see how low quality she is for our business, do you want her to ruin it for us. I am sure
