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 SIXTY-SIX (Acceptance)SeleneI gazed at him, my eyes blazing with fury, “You deceived me” I whispered, my voice trembling.He chuckled, saying “You were dumb, you think you would be a hero by catching the culprit?, stupid” He spat.“I will make all of you pay, every single one of you is responsible for this. I will make you pay” I screamed.He dragged my hair, pulling my head back “Shut up, if you do not agree to the crime. I am going to kill you” He threatened before exiting the room.I collapsed on the cold floor, Angry tears streaming down my face, Aside from the fact that I was accused of something I didn't do, the real culprit was walking freely.I tried to numb my feelings, glancing around to see if there was any way I could escape this place before Axel struck again.It was fruitless, the place was fully guarded and the guards watched every movement that I made.I was dragged out of the cell to the torture room, I could feel my heart beating rapidly at the thought of my last experience here.I met A

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE (The culprit?)SeleneAs I walked alongside the warrior to the gathering ground, my heart pounded rapidly in my chest. Something felt off, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.The warrior ushered me in, I met the angry and curious faces of the pack members. The elders in the pack, Alpha, Adrian, Olivia, Octavia, and Lucien were present.I scanned the room trying to read Alpha Damian’s expression but his face was masked with calmness revealing nothing. I took a deep breath trying to calm my racing thoughts.I stood in the center of the gathering ground, surrounded by the pack members. The air was thick with tension and I could hear whispers around me. I tried to make sense of what was happening but before I could process my thoughts, Alpha Damian's voice echoed through the gathering ground.“Silence” He commanded, slowly the side talk died down. I felt a shiver run down my spine as his gaze locked onto mine.“Selene, did this pack and its people do you any wrong by accepting you as one of us?”

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR (Finding the culprit)
SeleneAfter my encounter with Olivia, I was more confident in finding out who is trying to harm this pack.I know it's not in my place to do so considering my stance here but it's the least I can do to save us from further harm.I decided that I was going to ask some of the warriors questions with the hopes of them answering me.First I need to meet Lucien, he was the one who called out to me before I was shot. “Hey,” I greeted, him after I was ushered into his room.“Hi, do you need something?” He asked, pointing towards the couch.I sat down, before saying “I am interested on how the war started,” He cast me a wary gaze.I smiled nervously “I mean, I was almost killed,” I said, scratching my neck.His voice turned dismissive “Selene you shouldn't bother yourself with these things, Damian will get to the root of the matter” He said.I sighed the moment I got out of his room, I guess what transpired between us these past few days has made him uptight around me.The next person to vi

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE (Suspecting Olivia)
DamianI could sense Selene's scent from here, her body also gave her away that she was in heat.While inside my room, my mind went wild on what she could be doing. Olivia was here and if I left she would be suspicious of me.I somehow got her to sleep and slowly I left the room. I placed a knock on Selene’s door but got no response.I clicked the doorknob, surprisingly the door creaked open. I walked in and met an empty room. My mind raced on where she could be and whom she was with. I wanted to leave when my eyes caught the slightly opened bathroom door.I pushed the door slowly and found her deep asleep inside the bathtub.My eyes trailed her body which was barely covered with foamy water. Except for the slight frown on her face, she looked peaceful.I tried not to make any noise as I observed her, our relationship was more like a like-and-hate relationship but other than that she was here for a reason.I leaned towards her, trailing her finger down her bare neck, she flinched as

SeleneRated 18I forced a nervous smile “Help me with what?” I asked, my heart beating rapidly.“Your Identity” Octavia replied, her gaze piercingI feigned shock, frowning “What Identity?” I asked, sounding nonchalant.She sighed, concern and frustration lingering on her face “Selene, I might be new to this pack but I am aware of some things” She said.My heart skipped a bit as I asked “What do you know?” She leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper “I do not know what it is exactly, but I know, there is something beyond what you show us” “I…I” She interrupted “It's okay if you don't want to share it with me, but you don't have to deny it,” She said, her expression gentle.“Octavia, I honestly don't know where you are getting at but I appreciate you for looking out for me,” I said with a smile on my face.She nodded “Alright finish up your meal, I will leave you to it,” She said before heading out.I stared at the food before pushing it aside. I am not certain who is genuinely

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE (You have powers and I know you know it)SeleneThe tension around me increased, I ran in different directions looking for the person that had thrown the stone but nobody looked like it. I was sweating and breathing heavily at this point “What am I even doing?” I mumbled, rubbing my forehead in frustration.Alpha Damian’s voice jolted me out of my reverie “What are you doing here?” My stomach churned as I turned towards him.I meet his curious gaze “ I…I thought I saw something” I whispered.His gaze lingered on me for a while before saying “You should learn to mind your business, it will save you from a whole lot” I nodded as he turned and headed inside. I glanced around cautiously before heading back inside.I took my dinner, yet again it was little. I ate it regardless before falling into a deep slumber my tiredness giving away.I packed my hair into a messy bun, the note on the table drew my attention, and my thoughts lingered back to what was written inside it.I do not want to venture my thoughts into it because why
