Chapter: A job?That was a lie and the two men at the table had actually cared enough to look at her to know that it wasn't true.“I have told you already. You are a part of the family. Call me Chris.” “I'm sorry, sir…sorry..uhm.. Chris. It's just that I've been thinking...” Gina “Don't you worry your pretty head over anything, Gina. I'm sure you'll soon get used to everything here.” He quickly cut her short, thinking she was still bothered about their escapade. Adams couldn't help but chip in. “Sure. Don’t worry about whatever. There's a way of doing things here and you’ll get to learn them soon enough, that's if you want to survive here.” Survive here? She didn't know that she was being brought here to survive. She had thought she was getting married, no one had told her she was signing up to be thrown into prison. Had she known, she wouldn't have signed on the dotted lines then. “Don't scare her, Adams.” Chris scolded Adams before turning to Gina. “What do you plan to do now that you're here?

Chapter: Overdressed for dinner Gina got bored as the days went by. With no place to go and no one to talk to, she saw herself becoming often pissed and irritated. Her new status as a billionaire wife did not help her predicament at all as her husband wasn't in the least involved with her. It was true that she had no friends but this time, it was very different as she had the maid back home who talked to her nicely and respectfully and Mia who she shared almost everything with. She had tried to warm up to a few of the staff but they were still skeptical about her. With Adams and Chris always out for most of the day, she only ever got good company during dinner when they were both back from work. She resorted to cherishing every dinner as she always had real conversations with Chris. On very good days, Adams would chip in a sentence or two. Right now, she was preparing to go downstairs for dinner but this time she was going to ask for the very thing that had been on her mind for a few days now. Been indoors for alm

Chapter: Mia's little surprise It was hard for Chris to pull his eyes away from his daughter in-law. He had never seen anyone look this gorgeous in such a simple dinner dress and stiletto. The champagne gold dress clung to her body like a second skin with the high slit running from her mid thigh down, accentuating her long flawless straight legs. And those heels? They were made for her. As though Gina felt Chris' intense gaze on her, she looked up to meet those deep blue eyes that fascinated her. Chris quickly recollected himself, tearing his eyes away from her and cleared his throat as his daughter in-law took a seat beside his son who merely threw her a glance as he drew out a seat for her. “Mia.” Gina steadied herself from falling. She did not expect that the sister she had been on the phone with about half an hour ago was already in her home all the while they spoke. She almost rolled her eyes as she saw how calmly seated her father was as though he did not just sell his daughter off for a business deal. C

Chapter: Lady in champagne gold Chris bit his lip as he walked away from the room. He had managed to put up his calm, understanding act long enough to fool the young lady but there was no way he could hide the truth from himself. He wanted nothing but to pull her off the ground and press her body against his. Maybe. Just maybe. He could steal a piece of the chunk of pleasure he had experienced the other night. “Are you alright, sir?” One of the maids asked, knocking him right out of his thoughts. His hands immediately went to his chin to make sure that he wasn't drooling. It wasn't until then he noticed that he was leaning on the door frame. “Yeah, I am. Just lost my balance,” he said, pushing his body upward to regain his composure. Only that, there was no way in hell would he be okay the way he was at the moment. A man who was okay would not be leaning on the door frame of his son's room fantasizing about his daughter-in-law. He straightened himself and cleared his throat before turning to the maid in hope

Chapter: Facing her fear Gina slowly laid back on the bed, her mind mulling over the overwhelming events that had happened in just one day. This was just the first day of her marriage and she already had major problems, each one fighting for her attention, not allowing her a breath of relief. Which issue was she to resolve first? Was it the random stranger at the club who coincidentally is now her father in law?Gina felt she had seen a momentary sparkle in those blue eyes on seeing her and for some reason, it still lingered in her head. Or was it the outrageous rules the man she had just gotten married to had outlined for them to live by? Speaking of rules, Gina extended her left arm to grab the papers again. This time she read out the rules loudly. “Rule one; My freedom is paramount therefore, you are to stay completely clear off my business.Rule two; In the eyes of the public you're my wife, otherwise, you should maintain a distance. Rule three: You are to dress accordingly as your high profile as my w

Chapter: Rules and regulations CHAPTER SIX Time seemed to slow down as Gina's hazel eyes locked on Chris's swirling honey brown orbs. Then, all of a sudden, the time began to move very fast, too fast actually for Gina to process her present situation. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that her heart was pounding in quick successions, accompanied by a loud voice in her head screaming for her to wake up from the unpleasant nightmare. She felt a piercing pain from how hard she bit her lower lip in an attempt to rouse herself from the arms of slumber.“I am indeed alive and awake”, she mumbled.“You’re welcome, my dear.” Chris greeted her warmly, his right hand patting Gina's shoulder lightly. “Thank you Mr…Carter.” Gina replied, with a smile that did not reach her eyes. She quickly remembered that Adams' surname on the marriage certificate was Carter and so she figured that the man who seemed to be Adams’ father would also be a Carter. “Looks like you’ve both met before now..” Adams' shot Gina a curious l

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY THREE OLIVIA “Why did you have to treat me the way you did all these years?” I really wanted to know.“Go ask your slut of a mother.”Moon Goddess! Words are unable to describe the amount of rage that coursed through my veins as she hurled an insult at my mom.My hands clenched into fists as I studied her face ready to aim a punch at her nose if she dares come closer again when Cameron's aura reached for me, filling me with calmness. “Well,” I started coolly, “Firstly, my mother is no slut!” “Secondly,” I continued, noticing how Claire observed my calmness. “Trust me when I say I would have done just that. But then, she isn't responsible for the said actions of a certain Luna.” I laced my words with a good dose of nonchalance.She narrowed her eyes in an angry glare. “So what are you trying to …”“What did I ever do to you?” I demanded, raising my voice and emitting a strong aura that I never knew I possessed before now. My imposing aura takes immediate effect as I see the shock flash

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY TWOOLIVIA There were still a few things I wanted to know from Luna Claire. They were questions I very much needed answers to. I had always thought of her bullying me as normal seeing as she bullied others too even though mine was far worse. With how often she did so, I grew a thick skin to her bullying as I had no rank nor qualification to stand up to her, so I thought. Now, a whole lot has changed within me and I feel more confident in myself. The new me wanted to know why Claire had done all she did to me. I actually felt the need to go with Cameron for support but decided against it, I needed her to be free with me and Cameron's presence wouldn't ensure that. I wanted to know why she despised me, why she did not want me for her son as a mate but I was good enough as his whore. What was the whole point of all she did when it all boiled down to where we were now? I thought, stepping into the dungeon at the back of the huge mansion that was the palace. I walked through the passage,

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY ONECARAHis mate continued to move towards him. I shook my head at her with my eyes warning her to not near him. Against my warning, she went on to meet him.I gasped in terror, dreading what would happen as she reached out for his arm but he instead turned to face her calmly.With everyone focusing their gaze on them fearing what would happen next, the silence was heavy and one could make out the sound of a pin that dropped.With her slender hands, she cupped his chin, bringing his face to meet with hers. No one ever interrupted Cameron, not when he boiled with anger, or busy with something, not even while he still spoke. But his mate dared to approach him. We were all shocked at how easily her presence was able to quench the simmering annoyance burning in his chest.“This is a good sign.” I mused. I was pleased when I got to know that my brother had found his mate and honestly, I had been dying to meet her. The moment I met her, I could tell that she was the light in his darkness and

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTYCAMERON It took a whole lot of back and forth negotiations between us and the northern lycan kingdom. Right before the representatives of the northern lycan territory, the council had decided the fate of the rogue Lycan- he was sentenced to life imprisonment after freeing his beast spirit. Funny enough, the same people that had banished him from their kingdom were now asking for him to be handed over to them. He happened to be son of the Chief elder in council of the northern lycan kingdom - a big disappointment to his father. These peeps were unbelievable.“I hope you know you are treading on delicate ground.” My father frowned, his features tightened into a dangerous expression. “Your Majesty, his lycan can be taken away from him here as passed.” He spoke warily, clearly feeling uneasy in his own skin.“So?” My father demanded. “Your Majesty, we… we… plead that you permit him to face his prison sentence on the shores of his father's land.” The bespectacled grey haired elder bo

Chapter: CHAPTER FORTY NINECAMERON Mouse brown, frizzy hair, blotchy skin with scars all over. I immediately recognized the thin, malnourished body of the traitor lycan of the northern kingdom.Who would have thought that he would make an appearance and getting him would be so easy. He must have thought himself and his men well prepared for battle to have come this far. With my beast still thirsty for more of the bastard's blood, I pinned him to the ground with my fingers wound around his neck. I tightened my fingers causing him to gurgle up blood from his nostrils and mouth, releasing him when his eyelids shut close in weariness, his face had gone pale white. “Bind him with silver and bring him to the palace.” I gestured to the warriors who wasted no time in carrying out my order.My eyes scrutinized the spot where Landon had been bitten and saw that it wasn't so bad but still needed to be tended to. It was nothing his beast couldn't handle but we needed to be sure the bite wasn't poisoned. No one knew what

Chapter: CHAPTER FORTY EIGHTCAMERON I watched as the warriors train like never before. I had ordered all our warriors to be on extra training as we had had a few invasions into our territory with the perpetrators absconding successfully leaving us with nothing but minute traces. Not only was it frustrating, but also an embarrassment to the kingdom and I made sure to put everyone into shape. Within these few days, we had tightened the security around the borders. The number of warriors on patrol around the borders have doubled, each team been accompanied with two of our best trackers, while I made sure to cross check each patrol team to ensure no one was slacking in their responsibility. Not that anyone in their right mind would, you just can't tell. As the warriors wrapped up their training, and split themselves into different groups, the memories of the meeting we had held with the King of the Northern Lycan kingdom replayed itself on my mind. I, in the company of Landon and a few elders of the council had
