Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT (Conflicts with Olivia)SeleneI rolled my eyes at her drama, “Keep it low, he is trying to sleep” I whispered, pointing at Damian.Her pupils dilated with fury, “Get out before I have the guards take a criminal like you to the dungeon” She spat.I turned towards Domain, who was deep in sleep and unaware of what was happening. Carefully, I detached myself from his embrace and got down from the bed.I gripped Olivia’s hand tightly and dragged her out of the room “You are going to keep quiet until he wakes up, then you can rant” I snapped, locking gaze with her.“But for now, stay away from this room” I threatened, losing my grip on her.“How dare you order me?” She put out her hands to slap me but I held her back.I tightened my jaw “Don’t try it” I warned.I signaled the bodyguards to keep her at bay before heading back to the room amidst her tantrums.I locked the door and laid back on the bed and Damain wrapped his hands around me “Where were you?” He whispered, kissing my shoulder.“Bathroom” I lied, smot

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN (A Chance)SeleneImmediately I got into my room with Octavia she pulled me into a tight hug weeping softly. I patted her back blinking my eyes to prevent my tears from falling.“I am glad you came back” She whispered, pulling away from the hug.I nodded, smiling “How did you find the culprit?” I asked. I was extremely curious about it.Her face turned solemn “We haven't found them yet, but Adrain investigated the case and figured out that Axel framed you and he was also part of the accomplice. He is currently in the dungeon” She explained.My face blazed with fury at the mention of Axel’s name but I held myself back. I nodded, “Don’t worry we will find the culprit” She assured me. After that, she left the room and allowed me to rest.I slouched on the bed with mixed feelings, Alpha Damian had changed a lot in just a few days of being away from this pack.I could see the regret that crossed through his eyes and trust me I wanted to jump on him the moment I saw him blame it on the mate bond but t

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX (Selene is back)DamianI pinched the bridge of my nose, frustration kicking in “How did this happen?” I asked.“We have taken the bodies to the packs’ hospital for an autopsy but I suppose they died from poison” Adrain informed me.“Have the chef locked up and keep a close eye on Axel,” I instructed.Adrian left the office but Lucien stayed back “You okay bro?” He asked, his voice laced with concern.I shook my head “No, no. Nothing is making sense” I half yelled, overwhelmed by everything that has been happening since Selene’s absence.I just knew I needed my woman back to have my sanity in check. “We will be fine,” Lucien assured me.The rest of the day went like a blur, early the next morning accompanied by Lucien and Adrain we headed to Pack Hospital for the autopsy result.“Good morning Alpha,” Doctor Ralph the pack's doctor greeted me.I replied in a gruff tone “Morning, what's the result?” He sighed, while I raised my brows “They killed themselves” He declared.I frowned, “How is that possibl

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE (About me)
SeleneI widened my eyes “Witch?” I asked, locking my gaze on him.His eyes gleamed as he continued to say“Actually both” The old man smacked his shoulder making him yelp. “Go on, get her something to eat. She needs a lot of strength” He said, pushing him to the door.“How are you, Selene?” He asked, casting a concerned look. “You know my name too?” I asked, sitting properly.He smiled, saying“I know that which the moon goddess wants me to know” I nodded “About what he said, am I truly a witch?” I asked my curiosity at the top.“You have survived the torture for days, you need to eat and freshen up then we can talk,” He said, showing me the bathroom and some neatly arranged clothes to wear.The younger man whom I learned was an apprentice, came in with a tray of food before they all left me alone.I went to the bathroom and had a long bath, luckily all my wounds were healed. After the bath, I adorned myself with the outfit brought for me before settling down to eat.Hours later the

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR (Chaos)DamianRestlessness, quietness, anger, regret. These emotions flooded through me as I gazed at the open space lost in my thoughts.Days of pain, torture, and fear of never getting to meet Selene. I missed her a whole lot and I never truly understood what it meant to love someone deeply until this day.My relationship with Olivia was more of an obligation but with Selene it was pure and I fear she would feel the same way for me ever again.The pain, humiliation, and torture that I had melted on her must have reshaped her mindset towards me but I wasn't going to give up. I will make her fall in love with me.“Thinking about Selene again?” I heard a voice breaking me from my trance.I didn't realize that I was weeping until I felt the warm tears on my cheek. I gently wiped my tears meeting Lucien’s concerned gaze “I can't help it” I replied pinching the bridge of my nose.His expression softened “I believe she will return” He said, pulling out a seat and getting comfortable on it.I sig

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE (Mountain Jarvis)SeleneI let out a pained yelp as I was forcefully thrown to the floor. Rubbing my sore butt, I stood up, confusion etched on my face. “Why couldn't I pass through?” I attempted to enter the hallway again, but an invisible force pushed me back, sending me stumbling.I staggered managing to keep myself from falling “I am Selene, I need to get through and find my identity. So please let me in” I pleaded.To my surprise, I heard a faint sound and the force holding me back disappeared. I stepped forward cautiously but Immediately I walked in, I was thrown into a place full of pins.“Ohh no” I muttered, my heart racing with fear. Dorathus had told me that I would face demons to get to the place where my Identity would be revealed.If I was to come out of the place alive I need to be extremely careful to move past this. I began to tiptoe, being careful not to be punctured by the pins.I scaled halfway through when exhaustion began to kick in. I stood still, gasping for air “Keep moving, t

“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.

“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.

Chapter: CHAPTER NINETY-SIX
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
