Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY-TWOI immediately strapped in my seatbelt as instructed and looked up at Edward. I guess I was expecting some sort of motivational or reassuring speech, but doesnât a person have to have a heart before that could happen? Yeah and he obviously doesnât have one.My luck had to be this bad? First time on a private jet and it was going to crash? Edward was indifferent though, he just there across me staring me with a questioning look.I already gave up any hope of getting any word from him until he spoke calmly.âThe call is just for safety caution.Itâs probably just fogâ he said in the most calming tone Iâve ever heard from him âHow on earth are you this relaxed?â I asked him surprised âBecause I know itâs nothing, he canât see ahead doesnât mean there's something there or at least enough to crash usâŠâ he explained His words brought me calm, I was beginning to relax and believe nothing was going to happen until he spoke again.âAnd even if there is going to be a crash, Arthur got it. Heâs

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY-ONEâGood. So we met in college, dated for a while, lost contact and only reconnected at the reunion last yearâ he explained âI didnât go to some fancy college tho, I attended community collegeâ Edward was beyond shocked , he stared at me like he was waiting for me to say it was a joke.I just gave him a âduhâ look when he wasnât talking âAre you serious?â He asked âYes I am. Why? is that good enough? Too low for you?â I asked angrily. I was really offended. It wasnât easy to get my associate degree, I struggled to get across and graduate, took several loans despite the low tuition. I was still in on student loan and one dick head just sat there looking horrified just because he was born into a silver spoon.âFuck!â He exclaimed lowlyOh if looks could kill. Edward Howard would have been a dead man that instant.âTake me back to LAâ I demanded not wanting to say another word.âWhat do you mean?â âTake me back to LA, you can go ahead and find a graduate from Harvey Mudd Collegeâ âTha

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY âCan I kiss you?â My ears are definitely playing tricks on me right? How can someone say that all of a sudden? But I couldnât step back, my feet refused to move. Being so close to him and feeling his right breath on my neck felt Like some type of jinxing and guess what? Itâs was so working!Comfortably getting lost in his icy blue eyes, I let him come close. From such proximity all I could say is that God definitely cheated because how could one man be this perfect? His perfect looking lips were seconds away from mine and I couldnât wait to get a taste. Just like the night I first met him. I could literally feel his lips touching mine when the door suddenly bursts open, fuck!!I wished I could scream at the cockblock, a girl I remember meeting on my first day here, Ama or whatever she said her name was.âSorry!, Mr Howard I was just resuming back to workâ she said almost immediately âItâs okay Ameera, get to work now â Edward responded in his usual cold tone She rushed off to th

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTEEN CHAPTER 18Katherineâs pov A knock at my door woke me up but I was too tired to even raise a finger so I lay still but the knock persisted, followed by Lilyâs tiny voice calling out to me. I checked the bedside clock and it was 4:45, what could be the problem? Why is Lily up at this hour? I rushed to open the door immediately. âOh finally!â She rolled her eyes. What?! âLily, are you okay?â I asked ignoring her attitude âYes I am, why do you look so worried?â She asked while making herself comfortable under my blanket âWell maybe because youâre banging my door in the middle of the night?â I answered âItâs technically morning Katherineâ she said, patting beside her, signaling for me to come to bed in my own room and bed ? âThatâs not the point young lady, you scared meâ I said joining her anyway âIâm sorry but not sorryâ âWhat does that even mean?â âWell, I didnât mean to scare you but it feels weirdly good for someone that is not my uncle to worry for meâ she explain

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTEEN Chapter 17The tension in the air was already suffocating, I kept wondering why a man he just acknowledged as dad would be so cold towards him. The coldness and judgment in his eyes as he seized me up didnât surprise me but to his own son too?He wouldnât be the first person to assume I was a whore at first glance especially at the club house, I always found it amusing how being poor was enough reason to be seen in that light. The thought of leaving to my room to give them some privacy crossed my mind but that would only make the grumpy man feel he was right or worsen the whole issue so instead I sat quietly looking everywhere but at them until âMARRIAGE!ââBecause I already have a fiancĂ©e⊠thatâs her over thereâ My head moved at an unhealthy speed towards the Howards only to realize that Edward was pointing in my direction. I looked behind me for a second wondering if there was an invisible person there.âKatherine baby, please come down hereâ he said with a cheeky smile. my ears

The wind whipped through my fur as I sprinted through the woods, my heart racing with exhilaration. I was in my wolf form, moving gracefully through the underbrush as I ran. It was a freedom like no other, being able to let go of my human form and embrace my true nature.This is one thing humans would never enjoy if I say so myself. As I ran, I caught the scent of a rabbit and instinctively gave chase, the thrill of

Chapter: Chapter 66Monna~~~~IâThe great lunaââThe little one who has grown so quickly into the greatest luna to ever beââWake upâA voice kept whispering to me, I snapped my eyes open trying to search for the owner of such an echoing voice but saw nothing . It was as if there was light and also feels like there was no light, more like a void.I wondered where I was, this is nothing like the world Iâve lived in all my life, could this be heaven or hell?âYour courage and love has no match great Lunaâ the voice echoed again.I followed the voice to a really beautiful woman sitting pretty and surrounded with bright lights.âWhere is this place?â âWho are you?â I asked the womanâYouâre here because because of your good heart and because of your destiny great Lunaâ the woman said ignoring my questionsâMy destiny?â I asked âWaitâŠ. Youâre the moon goddess?â I asked as the realization struck. It makes sense, Iâm dead now after all.âYes, and you have to go back to your peopleââMy peopleâŠ.â I sighed in s

Chapter: Chapter 65Ivan~~Itâs been four days, four whole days since the incident happened, four days since I failed.I donât think I will ever be able to forgive for that day, I failed in protecting one of the most important woman in my life, I swore to protect her but failed woefully at that, she almost took her life to save mine.Tears streamed down my face as I watch her paled face on the hospital bed laying almost lifeless, I rubbed her small hands in mine and prayed for the millionett time that she wakes up already. I miss her so much, her breath, her scent, the feel of holding her small waist âŠ..âMonna baby, please just wake up⊠alreadyâ i said amidst tearsI wipe my face at the sound of a knock and looked towards the door, it opened to reveal Rowan and Doctor Owen. Rowan had his usual worried face, even the doctor had no smiles on his face.âBro, Doctor Owen here has offered to personally watch over Monna for two hoursâŠâ Rowan started but knowing where this was going I cut him off.âThere wonât

Chapter: Chapter 64A loud roar from Rowan woke me from what seemed like a dream, because a dream is the only way I could communicate with Sia right with so much wolfsbane right?I felt my heart shatter into pieces when I saw the lifeless body right beside Rowan, I knew with no doubt it was Ivan, I could recognize any part of him any where.âNo!no!no!!â I groaned out. My entire body was in severe pain.I feel like something was ripping me right from the inside with several sharp knives.The pains the rogues inflicted on me was nothing compared to what I feel right now, every bone in me was shrinking, it felt like death.But the thought of my Ivan laying there gave me the strength to move, pulling his lifeless body to my chest I screamed so loud, letting my pains out.I canât lose you Ivan, I canât! I lost both my parents to rogues already not you too Ivan please donât do this to me.âI canât take it if he dies like this Sia, you have to help me!â I mindlinked my wolf hoping I would reach her somehow.

Chapter: Chapter 63Rowanâs PovAside the night of the attack, I have never been this scared. The thoughts of that night kept running through my head all through, it was as if it was happening all over again, like I was loosing my Katie just like I lost my parents that night.I was nervous, more than I remember ever being. Itâs already hard enough dealing with the entire incident since we started chasing the rogues, the fear of losing Ivan till the point where both Monna and Katie went missing. And now, the possibility that my only sister, sibling and biological family I have left could be working with rogues.The same set of people that murdered our parents and made growing up hell for us? I could have sworn on my life that Katie would never do a thing like but for what reason would Amy to lie to me.I donât âŠâŠ couldnât believe it, I tried not to, I feel like I was a terrible brother for entertaining the thoughts. Maybe I was indeed a terrible brother to Katie, did I neglect her? Did I care less? Did I

Chapter: Chapter 62âI canât believe they were right here all alongâ Rowan said frustrated.âTheyâre gonna pay so bad for touching myâŠ.â I paused not wanting to sound insensitive, heaven knows I donât want believe Katie did any of these but it better not be true.We were currently running at a double the speed a normal wolf could go and there by spacing the other warriors a great deal.Rowan had told me the secret investigators had spotted the rouges and tailed them into the bush before they disappeared under the ground, this only means that they might be hiding in a cave. I felt so stupid for not considering that possibility all along, we could have found her sooner and she wouldnât have to suffer so much.âI will tear them all apart!!!!!â Leon roared in my head âYes we will Leonâ I assured him increasing my speed.As we ran in an almost impossible speed, all I could think of was having Monna back in my arms and smelling her scent all over. I miss my woman so bad and at this point I can only hope sheâ

Chapter: Chapter 32AnnaI stood under the warm water of the shower, allowing it to cleanse not only the physical dirt but also the emotional residue from what I had gone through. The water cascaded over my skin, creating a temporary place where I could release my pent-up emotions. I let myself cry, the tears merging with the running water, as if I could wash away the fear and helplessness I had felt. In the solitude of the bathroom, I faced the truth â Davis was on his way to confront Alex. That was the way he looked like, as of he was going to grab Alex by the throat and strangle him to death. I don't think he knew I know that he was in the mafia just yet because of the way he acted y telling me nothing. I wonder if I should tell him I know. My heart ached with gratitude and concern for him. The image of him leaving, his face determined and masked with a stoic expression, lingered in my mind. I couldn't shake off the worry, but I had to believe he would handle it. He always did. Like this marriag

Chapter: Chapter 3131DavisInside the car, windows opened as Anna felt claustrophobic. She rested her head on the head rest and I watched her sleep. My hands were shaking as I picked up the blanket to cover her. She had lost some weight. I felt bad that I was not able to find her on time. That she had to find me before I found her. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. Anna was here, and she was safe now. As I pulled out of the barn's vicinity, I decided to make a call to Cameron, my trusted detective."Cameron," I said as he picked up, "I need information on an Alex, the one involved with Annabel's kidnapping. I don't have much to go on, but she mentioned the name. There is no surname so just find any Alex related to us or our business."Cameron sighed on the other end, "Alex is a common name, but give me a moment. I'll see what I can find."While waiting for Cameron to gather information, I glanced at Anna, her face serene in sleep. I felt a mix of relief and frustration, grappling with

Chapter: Chapter 30AnnaCool shadows wash over my sweaty skin, disguising me as I moved through the corners of the abandoned warehouse courtyard. The night sky was beautiful, stars danced and twinkled. I could have loved to enjoy something like this, happily lie under the stars and let the night air cleanse my tired body and overworked muscles. But unfortunately that was not it. I needed to escape. I do not know how much time I had left before Hades would notice that I was taking too long in the bathroom or when an alarm would sound. I scanned my surroundings of any sign of Alex or his guards. There was none. I sighed in relief before moving through the darkness again. Frogs sing in the distance as my feet crunch the sand. I had no idea where I was or where I was going, so I just followed the lamplights that illuminated the pathway ahead. The ominous shadows seemed to play tricks on my senses, making every rustle of leaves or distant creak an unsettling echo.As I cautiously advanced, the distant h

Chapter: Chapter 29AnnaHe was a psychopath. That's the only conclusion I could draw from the way he acts. Leaning on the table, cleaning his gun, all while I felt weak and disorientedThe room felt tight, I don't know what date or time it was. It felt like weeks though. I haven't seen the sun in a while, the only decency he had given me was to be able to use the bathroom but I was followed by one of his workers. A lady. There was no escape route though, just a right cubicle. The lady was strong muscular and always had a baton. I felt weak whenever I was with her. Weak and useless. My throat was parched, and my tongue felt dry. I muttered, "Thirsty. I am thirsty."Alex gave me a look then he mockingly laughed, his amusement evident, and he replied, "Sorry, darling, I can't hear you."I took deep breaths, gathering my strength. "I said I am thirsty."He looked at me with a twisted grin, saying, "Okay... so? You do know I won't give you anything until you accept my deal.""Why?" I croaked, my voice

Chapter: Chapter 28DavisMy phone's persistent ring pierced through the atmosphere, interrupting the hug Marie. Irritated, I picked up the call, a curt "Who is this?" escaping my lips."It's me, Josie. I really need to speak to you. Can we meet up?" Josie's urgent voice pleaded from the other end, and for a moment, I hesitated. Thoughts of Annabel clouded my mind, but I steeled myself against the potential storm of emotions."If it's about Anna, I don't want to hear any explanation," I asserted, my tone firm, attempting to shield myself from potential heartache.I was ready to hang up but then she quickly said, "Please, just listen to me. I have proof, and I tell you, that person is not Anna," Josie's words cut through the uncertainty, freezing me in place."Really?" I asked, pushing Marie's hand away that was touching my face. "Really Davis. Please let's meet up. I will show you everything" "Okay," I replied after a moment, my voice colder than intended. "Where do you want us to meet?"Josie relayed

Chapter: Chapter 27DavisI sat in my office, the bright daylight filtering through the windows, casting shadows across the room. My feet tapped incessantly on the floor as impatience gnawed at me. Anna had promised she'd come home last night, and I needed to clear the air between us. There were things that needed to be said, questions that begged for answers.And maybe tell her to stop involving herself in whatever she was doing and know why at least she had to involve herself in what she was doing. I glanced at my phone, frustration building as I tried calling her again, only to be met with the automated message that she wasn't reachable. Annoyance pulsed through me. Why say you're coming home and then disappear? Why leave me in this state of worry?Just as irritation crept in, my phone rang. I seized it, hoping to see Anna's name, but disappointment settled in when I saw it was Liam calling. I groaned and answered, "What is it?"Liam's voice carried a tone of urgency. "Have you seen what's trendin
