BiancaWalking out of the apartment with Darko right behind me felt surreal, it was like a dream. My staleness and crappiness diffused. I was all over the place, skidding like a squirrel filled with enthusiasm.Looking back at the apartment, a sense of boredom overtook me, but I turned around and turned it off. I was determined to explore my newfound freedom without hesitation.The evening was bright and beautiful colours danced across the horizon. I shut my eyes and slowly inhaled the estate's air, "Hmmm…" I sighed richly, savouring the scenery. Like a bird that escaped from its cage, I spread my wings around Santiago's estate. Our location seemed like a vintage position and I could see far and wide. The estate was just like a small town functioning on its own. Who the heck did I get entangled with? How powerful is Santiago? I brushed the heaviness off my chest and continued to explore.The bustling estate was crazy enough to die for. Everyone went about their businesses like mania
BiancaI felt her heart racing fast against my chest. The fear in her eyes was heart-rending but I couldn't do anything to pacify her. I felt numb and could hardly lift my hand.Darko was the first to reach us. He painstakingly lifted the girl off my chest while her instructor and guards took her from him."What the heck were you doing!?" Darko blasted into their faces as he rushed to help me up. He dove an arm beneath me and helped me to sit up. I shut my eyes trying to attain focus as I was seeing stars. "I should not have let you out… Are you okay?" Darko asked. Slowly I opened my eyes, only to stare into their scared faces. An excruciating pain rocked the back of my head and I blinked hard, trying to contain it. I doubt if anything could be worse than it but I ignored myself, focusing on Santiago's daughter's well-being. "Is she okay?" I stuttered, looking at the girl.“You all will be fired!" Darko fired again with a deadly glare in his eyes.The instructor had successfully a
Santiago's Pov"Bianca!" I yelled as she went slack. I saw her eyes shaking as she tried to open them but she failed and suddenly became still. Something snapped within me, which was unusual. My heart constricted and my anger dissipated. Shit! I clamped an arm beneath her, holding her tightly against my chest. Something damp and slime rubbed on my arm at the base of her head. I flipped her hair to the side and I saw blood. I winced and smacked my lips together, lifting her legs off the floor.Like she was mine, I carried her and raced out of the house. I caught a glimpse of Derrick's face, he was expecting me to hand her over to her guard but I didn't. I scurried past him into the compound where a car was already on standby. Carefully, I placed her in and went in after her. Derrick and a few of my men followed in another car."Move!" I commanded the driver as I flipped Bianca'sbbody on my legs, holding her tightly.My heart was beating fast and I didn't like the effect this was havi
BiancaPumpkin was sitting on the edge of my bed with her elbows perched in front of her. Her hands were holding her chin as she stared worriedly at me. One of her legs touched the floor supporting her weight whilst the other one dangled freely. It was obvious that her two legs were perfectly okay.What the heck is this? Are her legs good now? I thought, looking around. The setting looked so familiar, making me scan the room intensely. "Home!" I thought and scanned more intensely.I was in my home at the cabin and my father was at a corner drinking. What the heck? When did I return home and why is Santiago's daughter here with me?"Pumpkin? You ain't supposed to be here," I tried to speak but my tongue cleaved to the roof of my mouth and I couldn't speak. Panicking, I repeated and this time a mad rush of light flooded my eyes as they blinked open.My eyes continued to blink as they adjusted to the light. When I attained focus, Santiago's daughter was there. She was sitting in her whe
Santiago Derrick skidded in the Range Rover Velar that he was driving. He's been driving for about an hour now, breaking all traffic rules, like a lunatic I was seated beside him with my belt crookedly strapped across my chest. My eyes were all shades of red as I stared grimly at the road, cussing intermittently."How many fucking hours are we going to spend on the road!?" I bellowed, drumming my fingers against the gun held in the holster around my waist."A few more minutes, boss," Rick responded tightly and continued at a breakneck speed.He suddenly swerved out of the highway and revved into a clearing. After a few minutes' drive, we were out of civilization.Before us was a large expanse of land filled with a few shrubs and scanty trees scattered here and there. The terrain was rough and there were sandy dunes all around. Although it was getting dark, we could see clearly ahead due to the sparse vegetation."What a hellhole! A perfect place for a shitty traitor like him… are you
Bianca Milla instructed me to eat in my room to avoid stressing myself out. Although I insisted that I was feeling better, she didn't listen.Well, she was right, I wasn't totally fine. I still felt a residual pain around my neck but it wasn't something serious.After I had eaten dinner, I took my medication and retired to sleep. Milla had been attending to me, I hadn't seen Darko since I returned from the hospital.As I lay in bed, I remembered Tiffany. I hadn't seen her since she left the hospital but the memories of my moments with her flooded my heart. It felt nostalgic as it was intertwined with Bella's memories. I laughed and cried at the same time. The gloomy look on Tiffany's face as she left my ward in the morning pierced my heart. She seemed to be living in an open prison where she couldn't do what she liked. She was almost like me. Irrespective of the rules, I was determined to always put a smile on her face… But how when I couldn't even go near her? Santiago….The menti
SantiagoMy eyes opened up and I looked around. I was in Bianca's bedroom, lying on the bed while she was on the couch.My bloody shirt from the previous night was lying in a lump on the floor while my toso was bare. The only cloth on my body was my messed up pair of trousers.My body ached from head to toe. The pain was more intense at my side. My fingers curled up to the area and I remembered the gash last night. Amazingly, it was gone. 'Yeah, I am a werewolf and my wounds heal faster than normal, but not…"My fingers brushed over the wound and I felt its roughness. Shit! I was stitched up! Who did this!? My eyes widened in anger. The last time I checked, I didn't follow Derrick and my men to the hospital yesterday night. They went their way and I…Fuck! Did I stumble into Bianca's room? I thought as hazy memories clouded my head.Who the heck stitched me up!?"I need answers!" I yelled and bungled myself out of Bianca's bed. She flinched from her sleep and when she saw me, she spra
Santiago"If anything goes wrong in my body, I will sniff the life out of that bitch! And why the heck is J Jones keeping me waiting!" I yelled impatiently into the quiet room.Whilst my guards were outside, I was alone in my private ward waiting to be checked by my doctor. The ward was specifically designed for me. I only visited whenever I needed to and when I was not there, no one dared to use it.Just like Jones heard me, he walked in with a bright smile and I wondered if he ever had a bad day in his life, he was always smiling. He would smile even when someone's heart had just been poked out fiercely.He had been a good friend and one of the best surgeons around, of course with some perks of the mafia, no one worked in my estate without minimum combatant training.Since he was my doctor, he knew my greatest secret… as a werewolf, the mysterious healing ability of my body gave me away.“My lord," he muttered meekly, looking mighty chipper as he moved towards my bed.I flashed him
