Chapter: CHAPTER HUNDRED AND ONE
“Drake why?” She cried as she glanced behind him to see Bryer smiling mischievously at her.“You were making it difficult for me, I had to do it the hard way” His ignorance was embedded in his words.“Listen, whatever it is you want is with me. Please let my mother go” She pleaded softly.“Stop crying, you are making me look evil,” He said, stepping closer to her.“And your mother, I can't let her go. She is going to help me reach my goal” He chuckled.“What do you want?” She asked“You, it's simple” He smiled.“Me? Drake, you cannot want me. I..I am married to someone” She stuttered, trying to find her tears.He laughed horrendously, saying “You mean a contract marriage?, still you are going to get a divorce,” He said.“I can't,” She insisted.“We shall see” He chuckled and walked off.Bryer walked closer to her “If I can't have him, you won't either” She whispered and left.************Today marks the third day Ashley and her mother have been kidnapped. Alan didn't relent in lookin

“What do you mean by Ashley is missing?” Alan asked, standing up abruptly, frightening those he was in a meeting with.“I can't explain this, please come to X-shopping mall quickly,” She said and ended the call.“I have an emergency that requires my attention, we have to reschedule,” He said and hurried out of the conference room while his secretary tailed behind him with all his files.In less than thirty minutes his car pulled up at the parking space of the shopping mall as he rushed into it, he met Drea seated at the corner.“What's going on here?” He asked with a frown on his face.“Ashley is missing,” She said, looking terrified.***********Ashley woke up in her mother’s house and it was obvious that the person who took her was passing a message to her.She stood up and went in search of her mother.“Mom, Mom?” She called out, after successfully looking for her but couldn't find her. She remembered that she had left Drea at the shopping mall, she was about to call her when she

“What does this mean?” Alan asked, a frown etched on his face."Exactly what it means, boss, it is evident that Bryer is employed by someone who desires your wife," Rex stated, averting his eyes from Ashley."But from the looks of things, she is now working against the man because this person clearly does not want to harm her, but rather wants her," Rex concluded.“I am trying to understand what this means. Someone wants me, for what reason?” She flared her hands, perplexed."We do not know yet; we need to find that person," Rex stated."Alan, say something." Ashley glanced at him; he had been quiet since the revelation."I am at a loss for words, and I am also confused. Someone wants you, but we have no idea why." He expressed his frustration by pinching his nose."What do you think we should do next?" Sean asked Rex."I will try to track the number, and I will closely monitor Bryer. We might get to the end of this soon” Rex suggested.“We don't have much time, please immediately” A

Alan, Ashley, Sean, and Rex sat in his study while Alan glanced at Rex with an expectant look, Sean glared at him while Ashley was left to grapple with the somewhat tense atmosphere in the space.“Are we going to sit here in silence forever?” She asked, rolling her eyes and breaking the silence.“I was able to plant the chip in her phone” He broke the storm while the rest exhaled.“How were you able to achieve that?” Alan asked.“Sorry to say this but I can't believe you dated that loose girl” He paused and studied Alan who was wiping an invisible sweat off his face.“Well, I attempted to spike her drink but she wasn't up for a drink, so I had sex with her to achieve my mission” He explained.“Gross” Sean commented with a disgusted face while Rex eyed him.“Gross, you should have gotten the job done” Rex mimicked, glaring at him.“Hope you protected yourself? She sleeps with a lot of men,” Alan asked“I did,” He nodded.“Good, so any information from the phone yet?” Ashley asked.“I h

“He is not your son,” Ashley declared, looking surprised.“That boy is a splitting image of you,” She added.“I am speechless, if she knows that this child isn't mine why did she return after all these years?” Alan asked, still staring at the paper.“To separate us, I feel she has a hand in what happened to me and if this is the truth then it means that we let her have her way,” Ashley said looking perplexed.“This is something we need to figure out as soon as possible,” He said.“How do you feel about this result?” Ashley asked, holding his gaze.“We were beginning to bond, I mean you loved him too. I feel betrayed but what do we do?” He asked.“Let's adopt him, maybe just maybe Bryer isn't his mother too” Ashley skimmed through her hair reclining on the sofa.“This is a lot, we need to investigate the truth,” Alan said.“How?” “Rex will do the job, he is my private informant and investigator” Alan explained to Ashley.The next day, Rex came to the mansion. Alan, Ashley, and Sean we

Alan left the room and headed to his study, pouring himself a glass of whisky he downed it at a go.The words Ashley said to him taunted him greatly, he was also hurt. At first, he didn't want the child but he had come to love him and now they lost their baby. His biggest fear was Ashley leaving him and he hoped it would never get to that extent, so he drank a few more glasses hoping they would take the pain he was feeling away.Groaning, Alan woke up with a sore back. He slept on the couch of his study, which was expected.“I should head to the gym” He mumbled, finding his way to the gym.Ashley woke up a little bit late, she had cried herself to sleep. Losing a child before you could even see him was very painful.“I shouldn't have spoken to him like that” She mumbled, recollecting all the words she used on him. She felt bad knowing that ever since she came here Alan has been very loving and caring to her.“I should stop mourning and put my household in order,” She said with renewe

Chapter: CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT (I hate myself)
SeleneI stared at my burnt hands as they healed up quickly. I am starting to hate what I possess because it feels like a curse and I also believe it is the reason why I never found true happiness.The microwave beeped, breaking my reverie. I wiped away my tears and carefully placed a new cup of hot chocolate on the tray. With a deep breath, I headed back to the Alpha's chamber.Olivia took a deep breath, her voice hesitant “I guess I shouldn't have thrown you a hot chocolate,” Olivia said.I scoffed mentally “It was my mistake,” I said, forcing a stiff smile.“Seat, I will treat your wound” Olivia offered, I could feel the pretense behind those smiles.“Not to worry, my wounds are healed already” I informed her, I felt Alpha Damian’s piercing gaze on me as I exited the room. I bumped into Octavia in the hallway, “Hi Selene” She chirped. I have been trying to avoid her since our last conversation but she seemed persistent in wanting to be friends with me.“Hey,” I replied nonchalantl

DamianI knew Selene was up to something when it was reported to me that she visited Adrain’s mate.Dinner rolled by but she didn't show up and when I went to her room this morning, she persistently asked me about Adrain’s mate.When Adrain’s mate came into the dining room looking healthy, I stared at Selene in suspicion.She knew something and it made me edgy but one thing I know is that she can't know more than she already does.My thought was cut short by Adrain’s voice “Did something happen between you both, why is she crying?” Adrain asked, looking clueless.I rubbed my face in frustration, “You do realize that Selene may or may not have healed your mate?” I asked, trying to keep my tone neutral.Adrain shrugged his shoulders, settling on the seat opposite “Then I should be grateful to her” He said, his expression sincere.I sighed, a wave of frustration washing through me “You don't get it, do you? She is asking questions, which is not good. She is supposed to be in the dark” I

Selene“Girl you need to leave” Lyra yelled, I turned towards the she-wolf trying to free my hands from her.She whimpered, and my heart tugged at the sound of it “Let's try one more time” I pleaded to Lyra.With a deep breath, I slit my wrist again because the earlier one was healed, closing my eyes I drop the blood on her injury.Muttering prayers and hoping it would work. I opened my eyes and found her wounds healing gradually. I smiled, hoping she would transform into her human state when the shuffling at the door drew my attention.I covered her body with the blanket, quickly drank the milk, and stood up “You should leave,” The bodyguard said flipping his gaze from the she-wolf to me.I force a nervous smile onto my face “I was about to” I said, hastily leaving the room.I quickly dropped the empty glass of milk and sauntered to my room feeling exhausted.Slumping on the bed, I summoned my wolf “Do you think it would work?” I asked.She hissed “You should worry about what would h

SeleneMy breath caught in my throat as I thought of the most insane things “Mate, is the Alpha her ma..” I trailed off, my words dying in my lips as Adrain rushed towards the frail she-wolf pulling her into a tight hug.“Get the pack doctor” He yelled, scooping her up in his arms and sprinting towards the pack hospital.I exhaled a breath I hadn't realized I was holding, feeling a mix of relief and confusion. Lyra's voice whispered in my mind, "You're falling for him, aren't you?"I shook my head vehemently, defending myself. "I am not!" Deep down, however, I felt a sense of relief wash over me, knowing that the she-wolf wasn't the Alpha's mate, but Adrain's. Alpha's baritone voice snapped me out of my thoughts “You aren't coming?” He asked, his eyes narrowing.I composed myself and walked beside him into the pack hospital, we got in and found Adrain pacing back and forth, his face etched with worry.“She will be fine” Alpha reassured him, placing a hand on his shoulders on him.

Chapter: CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR (She-wolf)Selene I stood before the mirror, my fingers grazing the sensitive skin of my neck, sending shivers down my spine.The tiny mark on my neck was a piece of evidence that I was almost marked by the Alpha last night and the strong pull I felt for him seemed to have developed overnight.His elongated fangs and his red eyes were still embedded in my mind. Sighing, I took a quick trip to the kitchen to get his tea ready.After that I headed to his room and placed a knock on his door “Come in” I heard his rough voice, and I shuddered from the impact.I walked in and found him shirtless, his hair looking messy and a scowl etched on his face. My eyes widened, and I gulped nervously as he cast me a hard glare.“Good morning Alpha,” I said, forcing a smile to ease the tension. “Your tea is ready”He rubbed his sleepy eyes, his eyes softening lightly “Mmm, drop it” He muttered, pointing towards his bedside table. I placed it on the table, heaving a sigh of relief as he rose from the bed and he

Chapter: CHAPTER FORTY-THREE (Distraction)
DamianWarning, sexual content below!!!I stood tall over the sleeping figure as Adrain’s voice broke the silence “Do you think there is any progress?” He asked, his eyes locked on mineI tore my gaze away from the figure before me and focused on Adrain “If we hasten up on our investigation there might be some progress” I replied, my voice calculated.Adrain hands rested on my shoulder, his touch reassuring “I am sure we won't be late” He said, his tone confident.We lingered in the room for a moment, the air filled with unspoken words. Finally, we took our leave and the soft clink of our footwear echoed behind us.We stepped into the hallway as Olivia’s voice floated towards us, her tone inviting “Hey handsome, been looking for you,” I turned to face her, a smile spreading across my face “Is everything okay?” I asked my eyes, scanning her. Adrain excused himself, leaving me and Olivia alone. She grasped my hands, her touch warm“Did you send for Selene, I saw her coming from the
