Christopher Anger ran through my veins as I stepped out of the cold gray prison.I didn't have any hopes for Mathieu but I had expected he would have been of help.I was expecting him to slip up and say something that could direct me to a lead but all he did was talk shit.He was either doing that on purpose- probs wanted to hold onto the last piece of information that kept his illusion of control alive.Or he was just plain useless.When I slid into the back seat of the car, I undid my tie."He was useless."Charles started the car and began driving away from the prison building."What did he say, Sir?"Just like me, Charles had hoped that he would Mathieu would slip up with his words and then we would get a lead.Unfortunately, Mathieu disappointed us both."Nothing."Charles glanced at me through the rear view mirror."He didn't mention anyone or anything odd?" "Nothing. He was completely useless.""He might be in the same situation as Mateo.""What?" I looked away from the windo

Allison My bruises had faded and my body had healed but I still hadn't recovered from what happened.I still had nightmares of what happened.When I closed my eyes, I saw myself in that dirty room.When I woke up in the morning, I could still feel the ropes biting into my skin.Constantly, I heard Mathieu's taunting voice in my head and Christopher's deceptive and confusing words in my head.The conflicted each other so much, it nearly drove me to madness.In the beginning, I didn't care because I trusted him.I trusted that he was still the logical middle schooler I knew and the contract was not going to drag me into any trouble whatsoever.But ever since Seychelles, I'd had my doubts so I began digging into him.I had Never even searched his company before but when we returned to the country, I did.I began investigating Christopher- his company, hid past relationships, his contracts, his friends in College.Every single thing.Every search ended up with the same summary.The golde

Christopher It's been two months since the incident at Seychelles.Matthieu was behind bars now, the island was thriving again and the Press had quickly moved on from the incident.But I couldn't.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Allison bloodied, bruised, helpless.Even right now, I remembered how cold she was when I found her.When I zoned out, I heard the sounds of siren and gunshots.Just like right now."Daddy, look. Bubbles!" My daughter's voice pulled me back to reality.I turned and saw her standing behind me with her hair gleaming like gold under the sun.She ran around the garden, laughing happily.For the first time since she was born, I did not regret hiding her existence.If I hadn't, Mathieu would have known- he would have come after her.He would have abducted her and tortured her like he did to Allison.He could have killed her.There was no way I could have ever moved on if that has happened.I crouched and opened my arms.She giggled, running straight into the hug

Allison The annoying smell of antiseptic, mixed with something much more calmer and nicer, filled my lungs.Then slowly, I heard beeping sounds.They sounded distant at first but the more conscious I became, the louder they became.The throbbing pain in my head made me want to destroy the source of the beeping sound.It felt like with every beep, the pain worsened.I touch my head to see if it had been split open because it felt like it.Lifting my heavy eyelids, I was welcomed by the white ceiling above my head and bright light that I soon realized were sunrays flowing into the ward through the window.My consciousness came in fragments- it didn't rush back all at once.But when it did, I almost slipped into unconsciousness again.My throat and lips were dry, my arms were sore and my body ached so badly, it felt like I had been hit by a moving train.I felt a sting in my arm that I realized came from the IV line next to the heart monitor.I felt something warm on my leg. It wasn't f

Christopher For a moment, I feared that Allison would not understand my signal but she did.She bit down on Matthieu's arm and stabbed his hand with a knife I didn't even see until now."You bitch!" Matthieu screamed in pain.At the same time, I kicked the gun to Charles who grabbed it with surprising swiftness for someone with an injured shoulder.Before Matthieu could save himself, Charles shot the gun out of his hand.Charles wasted no time in shooting his both knee and right shoulder.Matthieu screamed loudly, falling to the ground.I rushed to Allison as her knees gave way.I pulled her into my arms and felt how cold her skin was.She was shivering and her pulse was already so weak.I quickly took off my jacket and wrapped it around her, pressing my body into hers to warm her up a little bit."Hey, look at me." I brushed my thumb over her cheeks."I'm here, you're safe. I won't let anything happen to you."She was a mess.Her hair was wet with sweat, she has tiny bruises on her

Writer's POV "What if the third party is here, on this island?" Charles asked Christopher just before he got into his own van."If they decide to risky coming here, do I shoot on sight?"Christopher did not respond immediately.Instead, he thought about Charles' question for a while.All this time, he's only been focused on saving Allison and killing Matthieu that he forgot who played the bigger role in all this.The person Mathieu was likely working for was probably on this island, maybe even watching him right now."Bring the bastard to me." Christopher seethed with anger as he thought of different ways he would make the person pay for even daring to think about going after his family and abducting his wife."Go! Go! Go!" Charles waved his hand forward as he commander the soldiers he had brought from the country and the island security officers.Floodlights swept across the hangar as the men moved in tight formation.When they had moved a certain distance, Charles held his hand out

Several Weeks LaterOliviaA lot has happened since the abduction.Rita faced trial and sentenced to thirty years imprisonment with hard labour.I didn't want to be there at the court but I had to.The kids had spent quality time with my father just like Gloria had.She still hadn't said anything as regards her obvious feelings for my father but I wasn't going to rush her.She had all the time in the world to think carefully about her feelings for him.Jeremy got back once he heard the news of the abduction.He was horrified when I told him more about it, especially about Rita; my best friend being the perpetrator of such evil.It was often said that sometimes, it was the people we know that hurt us the most.Mrs Smith and Rita had in need no doubt, proved that to be true.Now that Jeremy was back, he helped out with setting up my business.I wasn't exactly sure of what I wanted to do but I was eager to try out something new, something that didn't involve me working under anyone."It

OliviaI jumped in fright when the door came down, dust rising in the air.I had to close my eyes for a second and when I opened them again, I saw Asher standing right before me."Asher?" I tried to get to him but the ropes that tightened around my skin reminded me that I couldn't.He noticed this and rushed to me."Olivia? Oh my goodness! What happened? Where is she?" He asked multiple questions as he freed me.I answered none, I had no time to.Once I was completely free, I tried to run in the direction I had seen her go after she said what she was going to do to the twins and I."Where are you going?" Asher dragged me back even before I could make a move.I tried to wriggle out of his grip but I couldn't."She has the kids Asher. She has Kian and Kianna!" I didn't realize that there were tears in my eyes until they began rolling down my face.I had never been this scared of anything before.The image of Rita's malicious laughter that continued popping up in my head reminded me of t

AsherSebastian arrived on time while I alerted the police.Mr Anderson seemed to be troubled by their presence but I was too worried about Olivia's absence that nothing else seemed to matter to me.According to them, they were close to finding her but I knew they were only saying that to make her family and I feel better.They couldn't track her phone, it was like it had been thrown into water.Whoever had called earlier, didn't call anymore which made me more nervous.Usually, when abductors want something, they keep calling and threatening the victim's family until they get what they want in exchange of letting the victim go.But it wasn't the same in this case.The abductor wasn't making any call which made me feel like he might have all of what he wanted already buy only called the other time to know that she had what I loved.I couldn't help but fear that she might try to harm Olivia and the twins.If she made any attempt to, I would make sure to punish her myself before handing

Olivia"Rita?" I gasped, staring at her."H…..h…No, this isn't real!" I tried to assure myself but failed miserably.Now that I listened carefully, Janette sounded just like Rita.Little wonder she felt oddly familiar and I felt strange around her.She was the person I had been looking for, for so long!"I had plastic surgeries done after the incident of the video. I thought that I could win Asher's heart if I came around when you were no longer in his life but that wouldn't work too. Even with you gone, no other girl was able to take your place in his heart. Despite how much he despised you for what he thought you had done to him, he still loved you. It was inexplicable but undeniable, Asher still loved you, deeply." She explained, moving away from the bed."So you never wanted me with Asher all these while? Best friends are always happy for each other's happiness and we were supposed to be best friends, Rita." I felt mad and hurt.I had trusted her so much as more than a friend.Rit

OliviaI felt a sharp pain at the back of my head and my eyes fluttered open instantly.I closed it back afterward, like the pain would magically go away afterward.And surprisingly, it did.I tried to get up only for me to realize that I couldn't.I struggled but I couldn't even get my hands away from my back.I struggled over and over but the more I struggled, the harder it became.I couldn't take my hands away from my back simply because I couldn't but because I had been tied up.How the hell did I end up like this?!The last thing I remembered was getting prepared for my date with Asher.I was supposed to be on my way to New York City if the driver hadn't switched lanes and……That was it!When I tried to argue with him, he locked the car doors and sprayed something in the car.I passed out afterward.Whatever he had sprayed in the car must have been the reason I passed out as I couldn't remember anything after that.I looked around wherever I was but I couldn't see anything but da

AsherSeveral minutes have passed after the time Olivia was supposed to meet up with me.I didn't want to call her because I needed her to take her time and do as she pleased.But her absence here was beginning to get uncomfortable until I was pushed to take out my phone.I placed it on my ear after dialing her number, waiting for to hear her voice from the other side of the phone but that never happened.I dialed her number over and over again but it just rang with her never answering the phone."This is not some joke, Olivia. Pick up your phone." I mumbled under my shaky breath."Would you like to place your order now sir?" The waitress walked up to me and asked for the umpteenth time.I had waved at her not to worry severally, because my date was on her way here and I didn't find it fair to place orders without her presence.I had somehow however, managed to attract the attention of the other customers around.This was a restaurant for couples only and I had over time, reassured th

Lila Two Week After the War "How do you feel?" Miguel asked. I sighed, turning over so that my face was against his chest as I drew invincible circles on his abs, my eyes shut, feeling nothing buy his hard hand on my bare skin. "I feel like it might take eternity before I recover. I lost a lot o

"I'll kill you!" Lila yelled, preparing to use the same dagger with which Matilda had stabbed her mother, to stab her. Just then, she felt Miguel's warm hand on her shoulder. "I think your mother would be more proud if you did this the right way." He said to her. Her hands stopped midway, a tear

Writer's POV Matilda regained her balance and launched at Abigail. "I'll make sure you pay for tricking me!" She screamed, stabbing Abigail right in the back. Lila watched as the dagger went through her mother. Tears filled her eyes as the witch took it out. Blood spilled on the floor. Lila caugh

Soon enough, the Alpha King was nothing more than the witch's puppet. "Kill them all." She repeated and he moved to act just like he had been told to. He took out his claws, swinging it at anyone in his way. "I hope you enjoy this after you've known what you did." She laughed before returning int

Writer's POV "Remember to call for backup when you need to. There'll be warriors around for that." Miguel said to them as he rounded up. "We've lost too many pack members already. No matter what happens, we don't retreat, we do not surrender, not until we have gotten revenge for our dead pack memb

"Can I come in?" He asked, that was when she realized that she had left him standing outside for far too long. "Uhmmm sure, of course." She opened the door and gestured for him to come in. "Were you resting, I'm sorry for interrupting." He turned around and folded his hands behind him. "I could l

DerrickHow dare they? We had chosen not to attack them and now they were attacking us?I had decided to get out of bed early enough to work on the scrolls that I had received when Jamal had worked into my office looking angry. For a minute I thought he had come to fight me over Anubis' condition but when he greeted, I knew it was for a different cause. Jamal never shows respect to anyone he was mad at. He explained the sudden attack of the moon chasers pack on our pack. Since my aunt's visit, they had situated themselves around our territory. I'm sure they had planned to strike an attack on the night that we were supposed to attack them and ever since the plan failed, they had refused to leave. I knew my that old hag had something up her sleeves when she visited. She had never liked Amigo even when she was younger, why should she feel sympathy for him now that he was dead? I was the only one she was nice to but that didn't last for too long. After my father had died, she tried to

Border town; Khloe and Michael's former residence.The Smith's mansion.Mrs JohnsonRichardson didn't sleep all night, none of us did. How would we have when two very important people to us were dead?The next morning, I was already awake. Hours before the alarm clock rang. I got out of my bed and went to check on Richardson; he was still in bed." Look baby, I know you're hurting. We are both hurting, but we have to be strong. We don't know if the detective got the right body." " Why would he even lie to us in the first place? You gave him a clear description of Michael and even a picture. How could he have mistaken Michael for someone else?"Richardson was right. I was scared deep down. Too scared to go to the mortuary as planned but I had to. Seeing is believing and until I saw Michael's and Khloe's dead bodies, I refuse to believe the news of their death." I know you're discouraged but at least come with me to the mortuary."" I think it's better that we just do a burial for him

Border town; Khloe and Michael's former residence.The Smith's mansion.Mrs Johnson" Uhm.. Let me get that." Richardson said, looking nervous as he walked to the door.I quickly washed my hands and walled briskly to the living room.The look on the detective's face was unpleasant, his team's was even worse. He sighed deeply before greeting;"Good day Mrs Johnson."" What's going on?" I asked rather aggressively, ignoring his greeting. He was holding a big brown envelope. It couldn't be money in there, could it? He probably noticed the look on my face as I continually stared at the envelope. He decided to tell me about it's content even before I ask; " It's Michael's belongings in here."" Michael. You mean?"" Michael, Michael your son."" Wait, you found him?!"" Yes we found him."I was baffled by his reply. Why the hell did he sound so gloomy telling me that he had found Michael. Bigger question; Where was Michael?" So where's he?!" I was too joyous to even ask why his countenance

KhloeI wept as I heard the aggressive moaning coming from the alpha's Chambers. So Nadia was truly his mate.After Jenner had gone, I felt so heart broken that the alpha could have sexual intercourse with me when he already had someone who could satisfy him. I found it difficult to believe, I didn't want to believe that the alpha could be so callous so, I decided to find out myself.Each time I stood up, I felt scared of being caught tip-toeing to the alpha's Chambers at such a time. But then, how much worse could it get? I was already a slave here and was doomed to eternity with the werewolves. So, I let my curiosity get the better part of me.My heart sank when I saw the rose petals that have been left consciously for someone to trail. My fears increased when I saw the trail end at the shut door of the alpha's Chambers. So it was true then.I don't even know why I felt this way. I couldn't explain the feelings I felt inside of me; hurt, pain, anger? I felt hurt over the fact that t

Writer's POVDerrick angrily left the healer's.He shifted into his wolf form and ran all the way to the mansion.He didn't bother shifting back once he arrived, he just went up to his chambers.Once he reached the stairs, he paused. He felt a familiar presence. He smelled orange and peaches. His mate! That was her scent. He had missed her so much. She was a turned wolf. He let her visit her human parents whenever she missed them but she usually overused this privilege.She had been gone for more than two blue moons without calling nor texting. She went when she liked and returned when she pleased. Nevertheless, Derrick still liked her so, he never bothered much. All that mattered to him was she returned.He shifted back to his human form when he got to the hall. He could see rose petals leading to the room. Smiling, he followed them.He pushed the door open, the lights were unlit. He was greeted by the strong scent of his mate, mixed with the perfume she had poured in the corners of

Derrick The healer frowned at our action; " Her health is critical. She might not have made it if left unconscious for even a minute more. The chain on her ankle didn't just prevent her from using her Powers, it drained her of it. Even if the chain is taken off, it would try a long while before she recovers. She should be well taken care of else, she loses the baby and of course you know how females of the royal families are when they lose their children. I have cooked some herbs for her. You should also try some human medicines for her but they should be prescribed by medical personnels only."I can't believe Anubis was pregnant, I have been hurting Amigo's child all this while.Oh my goddess! How could I have forgotten about my brother's mate?Ever since I passed the verdict, I have never went to check on her. Amigo must be very angry with me, even in his death.I thought my judgement was for the best. I never knew it was going to be so critical. What if Jamal hadn't come in time?
