It took months before Vamos was able to recover. The fire that had started in the storage area of the pack had gotten so big it ruined half of the woods behind it. It went to the villages, the Office Building and the Omega House. Thankfully, the last two structures weren’t completely devoured as our other packmates quickly managed to stop the fire while the fights continued on the grounds that night. With the Command I did—which I vaguely remember doing. I thought I was just wishing it to happen—some rogues indeed snapped out of the effects of the Freedom. They stopped fighting and realized what was happening. Most of them were our packmates that were bitten and have turned. Still the effect of my Command, some did fight their heads, and most ran to follow Benjamin’s scent as he tried to escape. His body was then found by the Kingsguards who went to some rounds all around the pack vicinity. He was almost at the edge of Vamos, going to the human community, but the rogues were able

“Please! Wake up!” I screamed as tears finally fell down on my cheeks. “Titus, please! Wake up!” I cried and held his cheeks. His eyes were closed, and blood was all over his face. And I could see how battered he was. His lip was cut, his nose was shattered and his right brow was cut. But I know he’s still there. I may not hear him, nor feel his presence, but I know he’s still there.He has to be. “Sabrina, he’s been bitten too many times. He will change—“”We have a cure!” I looked up at him and immediately remembered that I left Lana and Nathan inside the clinic. “Lana and Nathan have the cure! Get to them and make them come here!”But Sebastian continued looking at me sadly. Maddie was already crying beside him as she clutched on his arm. I looked at all the others who were around us: the Councilmen, Edwin, the Kingsguards, even Miranda who remained strong and alive along with our packmates who survived.Anger boiled in my chest when all I could see were sadness and defeat in

Chaos continued on the pack of Vamos.But my eyes were trained towards my mate. Benjamin had shifted on his dirty, black and brown wolf who was buff but smaller than Dmitri. I knew that he was in no shape to fight the Alpha King. Titus was vicious, and I saw how just like me, he was just holding back earlier. “Ahhhh!” I turned and saw the scarred lycan as he held his spear in hand, ready to attack me. I jumped in the air and kicked another rogue for traction as I flipped in the air. With my jaw prepared to get his head, my back paws kicked the spear down and closed my jaw on his shoulders, making him scream. Blood boiling, I bit harder on his shoulder even when his blood had coated my nose and chin already. But I didn’t care. I wanted him gone forever. He has always been a pawn. Many lives were wasted, ruined and lost because of him. I yelped when even with immense pain, he managed to slash my side with another spear he suddenly grabbed from the rogue who passed by. I flew back

I walked towards the grounds where almost all the fights stopped at the emergence of the new group. For a moment, everything seemed to have frozen as my mind filled with rage for the man who ruined my life. Those pitch black eyes suddenly found mine, and a grin immediately plastered on his scarred face. “Ah, Sabrina. It’s so nice to see that you are okay.””Bastard,” I seethed. He just smirked. “I’m going to kill you.”His smirk turned into a grin as he positioned. “Try me.”I lunged at him, shifting mid-air and abandoning all thoughts of not causing permanent harm to anyone. This man deserved all the harm anyone could cause him after all the evil things he has done. I was about to bite his head off when he suddenly brought up a spear which he used to cover his face. My jaw clenched on the metal weapon, and with my grip still on it, he threw his arm out, making my body fly in the air. I landed on my paws, finding my balance. The bastard didn’t expect how quick I was when with ano

Screams echoed all around the pack as a huge explosion shook the ground once again.I stood up and took the two bags filled with needles I managed to already put tranquilizers on and ran towards the window. My eyes widened when I saw how huge the fire had gotten in the forest. And it was now crawling towards the Omega House and the villages, where the explosion happened. “No…” I breathed out and quickly ran back down. I fought against the rogues I came across. I immediately noticed how their numbers have doubled in just a couple of minutes. I was surrounded by five or six people, but with the tranquilizers I have in hand, I managed to push down two within just a minute. ‘Sabrina!’ Someone screamed but I couldn’t look where it was as I struggled at the neck lock that I was caged in. Taking another needle from the lab gown’s side, I injected it to him and stabbed the other one who attacked me. I pushed out the liquid to his skin.But before I could attack the last one in front of

‘We’re almost there!’ Nate and I’s paws pounded on the ground, but a rogue suddenly appeared behind the shadows, making me stop for a while. ‘Rina!’ I backed away as Nate took on the rogue. I let him, knowing he was far stronger. And I could sense how eager and suddenly fired up Nate was. It's just like me, the compulsion we heard from our king about killing an infected wolf was making us want to do it more. The rogue went down and we quickly made our way towards the entrance of the dungeon that we could now see. Thankfully, there was still no one there that could possibly stop us. ‘Let’s run faster, before anyone gets here.’We both sped up, knowing the possibility was there. Our paws made loud noises as soon as we entered the quiet cave of the dungeon. The cave’s width and height accommodated us as we both entered the prison where Lana Wintour was.”Nathan,” Lana called as soon as she recognized Nate’s wolf. Nate didn’t say anything but I saw something flash in his eyes.I tur

CHAPTER 13: Wedding Jitters“Go on dates, huh?”I flipped through the clothes hanging on a rack in front. I didn’t answer Freda who was standing beside me, also shuffling through the wedding clothes inside the third boutique we were in.“And what facts did you write about yourself? I hope there’s some that would nudge his junior down there. Oh! And I wanna see his list!” Freda giggled. I rolled my eyes at her. I was about to talk when the wedding coordinator came to us.“That is actually really great, Miss Hill. That would suit well with the ethereal theme we were discussing with the team for your wedding.” Gwen, the pretty blonde wedding coordinator said. I looked at the gown I was holding in one hand as she touched it, feeling the fabric. I shook my head. “I kind of want just a simple gown,” I said, turning to her.I saw Freda raise a brow at my peripheral vision, but I ignored her. I smiled at Gwen who looked at me while covering her frustration. I have been rejecting all their

CHAPTER 12: Terms and Conditions “Sign this and we’ll proceed to the plans for the wedding.” I looked at the papers that the boss put on the table in front of me. We’re both inside his office; and today, he’s finally given me the contract he said we’d both be signing for this crazy plan we have. I read it, seeing everything we agreed on, but when I saw the terms and conditions… I looked up at the boss again; he was just waiting for me to sign as he sat on his swivel chair, all gloriously gorgeous on his throne. I sat straight on my seat and met his eyes. “I want to change some things in the terms and conditions,” I stated. Sir Troy’s brows raised in curiosity. He put both of his hands on his large oak table, squaring his shoulder as he leaned closer to where I was seated on the opposite side of it. He looked large even while just sitting there. “What is it?” I held my chin up. “I want all the intimacy clauses to be just effective when there are audiences around.” Sir Troy Sa

CHAPTER 11: ConfrontationI turned my back to the boss who was still smirking at me, dominated by my want to eat and not caring whether I was out of his protection from this foreign spot of popularity I was in. I’m too hungry to care. I might even just eat anyone who wants to stop me from eating right now.I approached the table of food and immediately immersed myself on it. Not long after, some of my co-workers approached me: Ria, Rachel and Rob. The 3 R’s.Reduce, reuse, recycle—just kidding.“You look amazing with this dress, Lia.” Rachel said, beaming at me while holding a cupcake. “Should I start calling you boss now? Huh? Huh?” She added and playfully bumped her hips against mine, teasing me with her brows moving up and down. It made the two laugh. I shook my head and playfully looked at her. “The boss told me about the 1-day delay of the finances for the materials for the malls. Including the employees’ salary. I also talked with the HR about it, and they told me they were ju

CHAPTER 10: Honey “I told you we were doing this in a month, not in 2 weeks—hey,” I smiled and waved a hand at Rachel, one of my co-workers when she gave a big wave at me from the other side of the place, too shy to come near us when she knew most of the media people around were focused on us. Well, not just the media people. Most, if not all people, actually. The main event has just finished, and the presentations were successful. The investors so far have been happy with what they were seeing, wanting to keep their investments, some even wanting to add more into the company. And most importantly, new ones decided to engage, which was one of the greatest goals of this event. It was successful and we could feel the hype of it all, but the huge news about our engagement added majorly to the hype we were getting, most especially from the media. Several reactions were made after the announcement. Most were shocked and surprised, some were happy, and some were mad—and we all know from

CHAPTER 9: The AnnouncementI know that after that kiss, there would be a little tensed atmosphere around us (because, of course! We just smooched!) but I expected a lesser awkward atmosphere (if that makes sense) and more comfortable feeling about being close with each other.But, when have I been right?As soon as we all walked towards the main venue for the event, Sir Troy and I became silent. We were in the middle of our little entourage and I didn’t know what to do.Why do I feel so suddenly awkward? Also, gone was his playful energy a while ago when he was doing all the acts and stuff. He just became silent and went back to being the cold stone—gorgeous cold stone, but still a cold stone that he was.I realized Sir Troy liked doing things unplanned for our act. Impromptu; which kinda makes it look organic and true—that I can agree. But since we still haven’t really discussed every tad bit of detail into this and basically winging most of these acts, I feel like I’m stepping on e

CHAPTER 8: DrowningAs soon as I walked out of the door, numerous eyes immediately went to me.“Oh my word! The devil himself will worship you on your feet when he sees you, Miss Hill. You look ah-mazing!”I smiled sheepishly at Gloom. “You sure?”An aggressive nod was what I got from him and the rest of the team. “Why, yes! Miss Hill! You look absolutely stunning! This white dress screams elegance but hot at the same time! And you for sure have to show off those curves! Mr. Sanford would want to take you home as soon as you walk inside the venue!” They all giggled.I looked at myself in the mirror and turned to the side, wanting to see my back. The dress I was in was white that covered just enough of my front, but the back showed most of my skin, just stopping at the right spot before it could show people my booty. It was skin-fit, but not that uncomfortable, and I had make-up that didn’t look much, but totally accentuated my features. Most especially my green eyes. My dark hair wa

CHAPTER 5: Introduction“You picked the right one, my dear. Levi has always been gorgeous, even as a kid.”Nana nudged me on the side as we watched Levi getting dressed by my team for the event. “Where did you find him? Haven’t seen him for a while. I mean, that young man has always been running around in his cute little butt, taking gigs and such but years have I not seen him until I stayed in the Allistair household.”I looked at Nana and she looked truly curious as she stared at Levi who wasn’t moving as the stylist made sure his hair was perfect, along with his crisp three-piece silver suit that matched my white and glittery silver dress. “I just saw him on the street talking to a kid. He was outside his house as I was walking home that first day we went there.” Nana nodded slowly, still staring at the man who was now smiling as he joked about something to the stylist that totally loved it. All three of them were laughing almost hysterically beside him as he grinned.I raised a

CHAPTER 4: The Agreement I didn’t find someone better than him. “Dear, are you sure about this?” Asked Nana who was on the other side of the phone. I was alone in my car, driving alone towards Nana’s old neighborhood where the House was. Two days passed and I already asked my secretary to help me find someone for the role, but still, we haven’t found someone who was fit for the job. The company event is tomorrow, and I’m becoming desperate. I sighed. “Yes, the anniversary is just a day from now and I still haven't found anyone for the role. And I don’t want Aunt Veronica and Robert to be handed over my spot just because I don’t have a boyfriend.” Nana just heaved a deep breath on the other side. She wasn’t able to come, nor Ted was here to drive me. This was an abrupt decision which I’m making after work. It was already way past eight in the evening, and I know there was a possibility that Levi may not be there in his house. But tomorrow is the event, and grandpa with the res

CHAPTER 3: Spoiled Rich GirlThe man’s brow raised, but I continued smiling at him.“A job?” He asked. I nodded. “Yes, but I’d like to ask some questions first.” He just continued staring at me. And with the way he was doing it, unmoving and tracing his eyes around my body, it made me slightly uncomfortable.I cleared my throat, making his eyes look back up at my face. I regained my formal smile. “May I know your name?” I asked.“Levi,” I moved closer to them and offered a hand for a handshake. The man just stared at my hand, but I didn’t take it down immediately.“I’m Jennifer Allistair, and I’m looking for someone around here to have a deal with.”“A deal?” He asked once again, sounding like a recorder now with the way he was just repeating my words. I would have found amusement in this if only he wasn’t looking at my face with such a careful expression. He was being cautious, and I feel like he finds this conversation shady. I understand that, but he was giving me such a look t

CHAPTER 2: Hiring I looked around the crowded area beside my car. I kept the grimace from coming out of my face. Nana Karina chuckled. “This isn’t much but I’ve lived here most of my life.” “Oh,” was all I could say. I immediately felt bad for misjudging the place. “It’s alright, my dear. Some people here are indeed not decent, but some are. Just like where you grew up in. The world is the same in every nook and crevice of it,” she said, rubbing my back, as if I was still the child she used to teach things about the world. I smiled at her. “Thanks for helping me out on this, Nana.” She shook her head. “Oh, I know how much the position means to you. You think it's your parents' last gift for you as their only child.” She suddenly pointed a finger at me. “But swear that you will soon tell your Grandfather the truth.” I immediately nodded. “I will. I promise I will. Soon.” “Alright. Let’s go and get your future husband.” I hated the idea of this, but Nana’s statement made me smile

CHAPTER 1: To Be A CEOA few days ago…Standing under an umbrella out in the rain, I watched as my grandfather and cousins went to give flowers to the grave in front of them. My parents’ graves.“They still could have done so many things.” I heard Aunt Veronica say. She held a handkerchief in hand as she stood by my grandfather who was just silently staring at his son and daughter-in-law’s grave stones.“They were taken away from us so quickly.” I wanted to roll my eyes at her when she dramatically sniffed and wiped her cheek from her fake tears. It’s been ten years; even, I have managed not to cry anymore at the memory of them. And to think she wasn’t even that close to my father. She also hated Mom.“If not for some other people’s stupidity, we could not have lost Jude and Lana so early.” The vile aunt glanced at me and I kept my emotions hidden as I stood there. I kept my mouth shut despite the swirling in my head and stomach.“Veronica, that is enough.” Grandpa Alfred called her o

PROLOGUE“How much are we talking about?” “1 million dollars.”“That’s it?” I raised a brow. He crossed his arms and leaned on the doorway he was standing on. I could see a challenging glint in his eyes, wanting me to raise the offer.I did everything I could to stop glaring. The opportunistic bastard. If he just didn’t look like a model and a possible hot-shot in business, I wouldn’t ever waste my time with him. “A free stay in my house, food, clothes, car and a renovation in this…” I gestured towards the tattered small house behind him. He raised a brow, an amused glint sparkling in his eyes. I just waved my hand.“I will renovate your house, and you will have basically every privilege a boyfriend and a husband will have. So, what do you say?” I said. He didn’t move in his position and just stared at me for a second. And when those deep gray eyes of his suddenly went roaming around my body, I suddenly felt things I shouldn't have for a man I just met.“Including sex?” He asked,
