Ivy sat on her bed, flipping through the contract Mr Jones Vones had given her in shock. She had been warned not to speak of the things she would be asked to do, and the consequences if she did. The pledge at the end of the document made Ivy shudder. If she ever revealed what was asked of her, he would kill her. He also included that the mere fact that she knew about this contract was a threat to her normal life. She closed the contract. Ivy thought about the date with Mr Jones. He didn't look like the type to do a dominant and submissive kind of relationship. He wanted her to become his submissive. That was no ordinary job, she had browsed about it and saw that much. Did gentlemen really have these kinds of skeletons in their closet?A wave of fear and anxiety washed over her, making her heart race as her phone rang and Mr Jones' name popped up. She reluctantly picked it up. He spoke first. He asked if she had settled well at home. She said yes. He asked if she had seen the contract
Rafe had not seen Ivy for a week now and this bothered him a bit. He usually saw her whenever she was coming home from work but he hadn't seen her as of lately. He wondered why. He knew she was avoiding him but could she have gone all out to do that? "Why am I looking for her anyway?" He asked himself as he stared at his reflection in the mirror. He often had conversations facing the mirror as though he really was talking to someone else who was also himself. It felt more comfortable that way.He had managed to convince himself that he didn't like her and was just trying to protect her out of the goodness of his heart and the fact that she looked like his lifetime mate who had died. He tried so hard to believe that but it was speedily failing.The way she made him feel told him differently. The feel of her skin on him made him think otherwise and even the thought of her alone made him excited. He tried not to show it but he knew he had started having feelings for Miss Ivy. That was n
Rafe laid on his back, breathing heavily and experiencing excruciating pain. He had just taken a bullet to his heart. Mr Jones Vones had shot him and he fought hard for Ivy, even with that pain. He had been shot but thankfully, those were rubber bullets. It still left him in pain and it would take some few minutes to heal but what he was more worried about was how to deal with Ivy. She had seen him turn from a werewolf to himself. He couldn't say it was a lie. He couldn't tell her she was hallucinating and neither could he tell her he faked it. What could he say? He opened his eyes narrowly to observe his surroundings. Rafe found Ivy leaning over him, inspecting his wound. Ivy had quietly crept into the room, carefully carrying a bowl of warm water and a soft towel. She had approached Rafe, who was lying on the bed and appeared to be unconscious. Gently, she placed the bowl of water on the side table and unfolded the towel. With a gentle touch, Ivy began to wipe away the dried bl
Rafe nervously stepped up to the door of Mr Jones Vones' house. His parents had told him the tales of Mr Jones Vones. The man's wealth and power, but he had not expected the heavy door before him to be guarded by a man with a gun. Rafe remembered that day like it was yesterday. He had been so scared and confused as he and his family stumbled into the city of Cayton. He was just fifteen years of age. Previously, his friends had told him. He had been warned of the dangers of the city, but the sight of the guards of Mr Jones' grandfather, Mr Cayton, had been the most frightening of all. He had been so hungry and exhausted, but he had never expected to be arrested. The guards had been harsh and unyielding, and Rafe had been terrified of what would happen to him and his family. He had been too small to do anything to protect them, and had simply stood there and watched as his family was taken away. He had been so scared and confused, he hadn't even been able to cry. But then, Mr Cayton
As Raymond pushed the door through, they both saw two men carrying someone wounded, heading to a door on the east. The stranger was in pretty bad shape,and it took Raymond about five seconds before he recognized the stranger to be his brother. He gasped. " Oh no! Rafe!!!!!!"Their father rushed by the two men who held onto his son and flung them away. Raymond ran to his brother to untie him.He tried talking to his brother but it was of no use. His brother had fainted, Rafe had a weak pulse. Raymond called out to his father."Dad! Come quickly, Rafe is not breathing. He's got a low pulse. Help!*His father who at this point was trying to fight off the two guards who had whips and iron rods, rushed to Rafe's side. Mr Jones knew this would escalate into a bigger problem on that spot and he had not enough manpower to back him down so he got out of his hiding place and ran out another door. Before leaving, he turned to his back and said "this is not over, I am a very vengeful man and I
Rafe's heart was pounding in his chest as he stumbled out of the door. He had been feeling weak and dizzy but he was determined to find out if Ivy was okay. He had to know if she was safe.Normally, he would run over there but today was not one of those days. He grabbed his keys and stumbled out into the night. His vision was blurry, but he managed to make it to his car. He fumbled with the keys, trying desperately to get the door open. Finally, he managed to get the door unlocked and he stumbled into the car.He quickly started the engine and drove off into the night. He was driving faster than he should have been, but he had to get to Ivy as soon as possible. He didn't know what he'd find when he got there, but he had to know if she was okay. The drive seemed to take forever, but eventually he made it to Ivy's house. He stumbled out of the car and up the steps to her door. He sniffed the air to take in her scent. Ivy's scent was present but it didn't seem like she was home. Perhaps
Rafe looked away. He turned to look outside and noticed the staff of the inn were headed towards him, so he grabbed the knocked off door and blocked the entrance as he stood outside."Ivy, I'm so sorry about that. I didn't know you were going to be naked. I'm so sorry…" He cleared his throat, " I heard you pleading. It sounded like someone was about to do something harmful to you, so I by-passed the security and came to help you out. Once again I'm sorry"Just as he was explaining to Ivy what happened, the receptionist walked up to him "Sir, I'm gonna have to walk you to the reception. Our customers are supposed to get utmost privacy here and you just ruined that. Please come with me" the receptionist said as he pointed Rafe to the exit door."But I know her. I'm here for her. I'm just giving her a few minutes to cover herself then I would go in." He said as he still held tight to the knocked out door."I understand sir, but this is protocol and we have rules here. I'm sure you wouldn
That statement sent shivers down Rafe's spin. Was this a dream? Wait! Was Ivy drunk? He needed to make sure. He looked into her eyes deeply."Ivy are you in a sound mind? Did you drink anything to make yourself tipsy?""No" "Oh, goodness" he was too stunned to continue talking.Rafe got away from Ivy to switch on the florescent light. He needed to have a clear view of her. He walked back to her."Ivy, you're sure you're alright? I need to know. You're doing this with your mind intact right? I wouldn't want you to say I forced or coaxed you into this, please""Rafe. Stop. I'm fine, I just want you. That's all. If you don't want me, we could stop. Stop making me feel I don't know what I want. I'm not drunk" she said, becoming slightly angry. Rafe stopped talking. He didn't want to annoy her on the first day of them making out."I'm sorry, forgive me. I just needed you to be present." He said, as he reached out to give her forehead kisses."Go turn off the lights. I'm fully present. I
Mr Jones Vones charged at Dan with all his strength and in a few seconds, he had Dan on the ground again. The power punch was so impactful that it send Dan, again to the ground in seconds."Looks like this isn't a fair fight but it looks like that's the way it's going to have to be. Believe me" he said as he put his hand on his chest. " I had no intention whatsoever about ending our life long friendship this way but I guess that's how life plays it out to be. And who am I to object?" He said as he calmly recollected his steps. He paused for a while as he watched Dan catch his breath. Dan who was on the floor managed to get up as he tried to get on up on his feet. He couldn't and so he sat there, tired and exhausted from the blows he had received. He was a powerful alpha but time and age had taken a toll on him. He was not the same werewolf he used to be. "It is depressing seeing you this way but I have to go. So, I have to wrap this up quickly. It'll be almost impossible to kill all
Rafe turned his back as he immediately ran off. His father was holding the guards off and soon had all of them on the floor. Rafe turned to see his father as the only man standing while the other men were all on the floor. He smiled inwardly. That was the man he knew to be his father. The strong man who had taught him all those years. Yes!Dan had finished fight off all the guards sent to trap his son as he stood to make sure his son had escaped successfully.He saw Rafe leave the compound and watched as he disappeared into the woods."Dont think your son will be gone too far. When I'm done with you, I'll go for him and then the rest of your family" a familiar voice called out to him. Dan turned his head to see the speaker as he noticed Mr Jones Vones had moved from where he was and was now few feets away from him.A blow to the head nearly landed on him but luckily, he dodged it right on time as he pushed himself backwards, away from Mr Jones Vones. Dan fell to the ground as he did t
Dan stood to protect his son. Mr Jones Vones had grown powerful and he knew he probably had no chance fighting but he could not stand there and watch the bastard rip his son's heart out."You'll pay for this, you bastard! " He screamed at the top of his voice. He was angry now and was willing to do anything just to get back at Mr Jones Vones."I'm waiting.. Come get me! '' Mr Jones Vones said. He gave him a little smirk at the end of his speech as he lifted the heart in hand and threw it to him. "Have that as a trophy in your arms before I rip your son's heart out too. Don't worry. While I am at it, I'll rip your whole family's heart out too. How about that?!!" He said to Dan as he immediately started laughing. He coughed in between as the laughter seemed to have choked him. Dan turned his back as he leaned to his son's side and whispered.Rafe was still slightly unconscious as he couldn't really hear all what his father was saying but he tried to make some sense of it."Rafe, your u
Dan watched as his rival lifted his hand to gesture his guards to come to him. The first set of guards made their way to Mr Jones Vones as the next set walked to him with something in their hand. Dan looked closer. It wasn't a 'something', it was a someone. He looked again as he saw his brother all covered in blood. Damian looked tired as he opened his mouth gasping for air. His shirt and underwear were all covered in look. They had even been to read they now hung loosely on his body. Dan wanted to shout but he bit on his lower lip."I'm sure this won't be a hard choice to make but I would rather let you make the choice but yourself. So what is it going to be?" Mr Jones Vones clapped as he pointed to Damian. "Are you going to pick your brother over here? Or … " he moved his body as he pointed to Rafe, ".. your son over there. I just warn you, the moment you pick one person, the other one's life will go to waste. So who's it gonna be?" He ended his question with another clap. " I'll g
Rafe's head had hit the ground and he was still unconscious. His father tried to fight off the men that stood to block them off. Time passed slowly as it all happen. On one hand, Rafe was barely moving with blood rolling off his head, on the other hand, his father fought off the guards and in a not so far environment, Damian was trying with all his might to hold down Mr Jones Vones who had become a full wolf."I thought you were always against them. You said you hated them. That you wanted nothing to do with them. Nothing at all, but here you are fighting alongside them. Dagger, this is your last chance, stand down and let me end this successfully. I repeat, stand down!!" Mr Jones Vones said. Damian shifted back a little as he tried to massage his wrist. Mr Jones Vones had twisted it as they fought and he was sure it might have been broken."My real name is Damian. Damian Rawl and I'm sure you never knew that because you weren't my family. That's one things about family
Where do you think you're going with my prisoner?" Mr Jones Vones said to Dan and Damian. They had both paused at the sound of his voice and we're now facing him. Mr Jones Vones had a smirk on his face as he looked at both men. "I see your family has a history of stealing. Your son here, he stole my bride. Your brother stole my identity and now, you want to steal my prisoner. Does this always happen? Is your family never contented with what they have. Must they take what others have?" Mr Jones Vones said as he started to move. He had a casual look on his face, as though he was talking to people he didn't consider his enemies.Dan glared at him without staring. His brother had the same look. Damian had intially take a stance of defense. He had his legs apart and his torso strengthened. He was ready to take down all the men who came at him or his brother."It seems you have no idea what is yours and what isn't? You really need to have a rethink on that. Don't you think?" Dan said calmy
Damian turned to his brother to give him a death stare. He had no idea his brother knew him as Dagger. Dan froze in his step as he raised his face to stare back at his brother."Go on!. Answer me!. You already know what I mean. Tell me" Dan said to his brother as he tried to adjust his son's weight on his body. Rafe was gradually slipping off his shoulder and unto his back.Damian bit on his lower back as he stared into his brother's eyes for a while then turned to continue walking, "Won't you say anything?" Dan asked, he dropped his son to stretch his shoulders and then picked him back up. Damian had gone further in front- Dan picked up his son and walked a little faster to get to his brother."Won't you say a word? I didn't ask that question for nothing, you know!" Dan said as he caught up with his brother. Damian still did not say a word as he walked in front of his brother. Dan grew tired and so he forcefully nudged his hand into his brother's side."What was that for?!" Damian c
The figure walked to Rafe's cage. It bent over to have a look at him properly. It sighed and called out, "I think your son passed out when he saw me. Come in" Dan walked in after his brother, Damian. He rushed to his son's cage and fell to the floor to feel his son's pulse."I don't think so. He's been stressed lately Look at him. They had beaten the shit out of him, I can tell by the looks of things. His pulse is failing. We need to get him out of here and fast or he might actually die here. Come one" he said as he stood to his feet and turned to the other side of the cage."You need to be careful. Mr Jones Vones does not do things with the physical eyes. I can tell, "Damian said. His brother was about to cut the binds that held Rafe's hands together but he stopped him."Wait!!" He blurted out. "What is it??!!" Dan turned to his brother as he shouted out."Use something to test the cage. Don't touch it yet. I bet he knew we'd come. He must have set a trap somewhere, I'm sure" Damian
Rafe looked to his captor. He smiled, blood dripping from his mouth, "Is that all you have to say?" He huffed. "Well, I wasn't expecting them anyway so I guess it's a loss for you. I can't believe you came down here to tell me that. Don't you have something important to do?" He said to Mr Jones Vones.Mr Jones Vones was a bit taken back then reaction he got from Rafe. He had expected a tear or at least a loud cry. What he was seeing from Rafe was definitely not his plan of reactions."Aren't you surprised?" He asked Rafe. "It seems you didn't hear me. I said your father blew up in flames. I hope you know what that means. You have just lost your alpha and father. I won" he said with wide eyes. He must have expected Rafe to react while he said it the second time but Rafe still stared at him blankly."Clearly, I heard you last time. Repeating yourself only makes me see you desperate to get a reaction from me." Rafe said as he stared again.Mr Jones Vones stood up from his chair. He was n
