The two police officers have now been knocked out despite how built they looked and while he stood there wondering if they won't get into more trouble, Cher was busy clearing them up to pretend as if they had been drunk. Fortunately for them, there was no CCTV camera in the room but what about the hallway?
Together, they stripped the officers of their uniforms, leaving them with their shorts and wearing uniforms. Alex felt a little queasy about the act but Cher totally looked comfortable about the whole situation.
"I don't understand how you do this but..."
He was cut short by Cher's lips locking with his. He was beyond shocked. When she raised her head to look at him, he tried to say something but couldn't.
She hesitated. "I'm not sure I know what I'm doing but it's the best I can do to make up for the people I've stolen from." She started. "I hired a property agent to put up those houses for sale online, for qui
By the time Selena would reach the compound, several guards had assembled there welcoming the King whose door was opened and he stepped down, still looking as handsome as she could remember. He looked radiant still but not with the kind of expression she expected him to have should he get what he want. He obviously didn't.She watched him from afar as he waved at the guards, the maids and all, a smile plastered on his face. Strange."Looks like everyone has missed our Alpha so much they can't wait to tell him what has happened."Her heart skipped a beat at what Rebal said and her countenance fell."But don't worry, I've got everything under control."She always does. She thought to herself.As Rebal marched towards the crowded guards, she parted ways and made it to the Chief, whispering something into his ear. The Chief kept nodding simultaneously.The message was p
Krepe tried again to self-heal himself. It's one of the Wolf powers he was able to acquire as royalty but he doubts if it can still work. He closed his eyes as he lay on the bed, alone. Mumbling incorrigible words, heat crept up from his toes up to his legs and he was glad his powers are still there. Whatever the crazy tall, dark man had thrown at him, it was very powerful.If it was a normal weapon, his wounds should have been healed before morning. Unfortunately, the deep cut was still there. Bleeding and rottening maybe. He laid there in his own pool of blood, in pain as anguish, trying hard to heal himself. He closed his eyes and tried again, this time pushing himself harder.The heat crept again from his toes and rushed up to his waistline. He held his breath and focused so that it won't reduce again. The force pushed the heat to spread from around his waist to every inch of his bones, down to his back where the wound was. He kept gaspi
The moon rose fully in its glorious form down on Forester palace. Everywhere bubbled as the cooks were doing a very good job in preparing a sumptuous meal for that night. Why not? The Alpha of Forester had just returned.Selena spent the rest of the day visiting the wounded without Alex's knowledge as he was having a restful sleep in the room. She had gone about the infirmary, and asked Rebal about the ones transported and they seem to be responding to treatment. They also decided that she breaks the news of the attack during dinner. Eventually, she made up her mind and agreed. The table was swarmed with ham and egg casserole, biscuits, cabbage, cakes, and apple pies for desserts and some ribs and porks.When she tried so hard to extract answers from Alex forcing, he had calmed her down and blamed his tiredness on how he'd spent most days looking for what he went there to find.Everything was piping hot and on the table
After dinner, Selena felt a little relieved for venting her anger on the food she hungrily downed and more importantly on Cher. Maybe she didn't really deserve that harsh treatment for who knows what she has been through. But her appearance doesn't look like one who has been through hell. Like her for example who has walked through the walls of hell and even fought off demons.After taking a shower, she dressed up in a tiny red robe that did little to conceal her body. Part of her yearned for Alex to touch her like he did before he left for the city and the other part wanted to yell at him and call him names. At long last, she lay on the bed on her side about to retire to sleep, when she felt something heavy press behind her and she couldn't miss the scent. Very familiar and unique. He moved closer and kissed her on the cheek, pulling her closer to his body.It made her feel safe at least and her heart churned at the thought that if he had been at home, S
The sun like a golden crown lay high on the clouds and Alex rose from the bed with a high spirit. After the brief passionate moment he had with his wife that communicated a million messages, nothing else mattered. If only she would sit her beautiful ass down and stop asking questions.He could hear the faucet running in the washroom and looking to the side, different body deodorants spread on the dresser. He smiled, having a wickedly funny plan in mind.The faucet had stopped running and he knew minutes from now, his wife and Queen would step out. And she did so. She had a white towel wrapped around her chest and her wet hair stuck to her body like a magnet. She had the freshness of a newly plucked apple. Except she isn't an apple but a valuable treasure to him. He didn't know when he started gaping. From her small feet to her beautiful legs, to her hips still visible underneath the towel, and then her collarbone. He gulped rather loudly, aching to touch her again. He stopped touching
Wearing a black fighting suit, pants, and heels, Selena wore her hair up, getting ready to leave for the army field. Alex had done a good job to her hair as they were soft, wavy, and with no tangles, although it took one hell of a moment for him to separate the tangled hair. He almost pulled all the hair out of her scalp no matter how hard he tried to be gentle.She carried her bonnet and walked out of the room to meet Cher who was also dressed up, her face looking grim.Alex followed behind her, his hand on her waist. She felt on top of the world, especially with this man in her life."Be careful, Selena." He warned when they reached outside."Of course, I will be. Just stay in here and I'll be back in a jiffy. I arranged an appointment with the royal hair stylist. He should be here any minute to redo your messy hair." Selena ran her hand through his hair and she was sure he enjoyed it as he was grinning broadly at her."Acting the little mommy again. Don't worry, your little boy is
He breathed fire and dark smoke from his flared nostrils as his subjects hailed him."All hail the ruler of hell! All hail Sathanas!"The more they hailed, the more rocks with fire at the tail kept falling and screams could be heard. It was ear-piercing and terrifying to be witnessed."Oh help us!" Alex could hear a close by husky voice beckoning to him. He looked to his right and saw a skeleton-looking being stretching its withered hand towards him for help."I'm in pain!" Another anguished soul called out. But they all didn't bother him.The only thing that caught his eye was the old woman he knew as his mother tied the same way he knew. She looked like she was dying gradually and it pained him so much to see how she is in pain."Mom." He whispered and the lanky naked woman looked up at him, eyes almost lost in its sockets."Darling." She called out in a hoarse vo
Alex knew he had to share his dream with Bagdana and there was no use keeping it as this time, it was too real and particular to be a mere dream. They had gotten quite used to each other now. They had shared ideas and secrets and were more like brothers. Except he had been in existence since eons. As he walked into the room, he looked agitated."I have something to tell you, something we need to act fast on. You must help me. Especially in finding that book before Sathanas does." He took hold of Bagdana by the collar of his coat, gripping it in his fists and pulling his face close to his. "Promise me, promise me one thing. That you..." He paused and stared into his face. "I must know where the book is. This time you have to follow me. I mean, only you know where exactly you lost it, right?""Your Highness, you should know one thing about me now. Have I ever kept anything from you?"Bagdana pulled Alex's hands from his collar and walke
"Bagdanas?" Alex called at the tall, dark man that stood beside him with his arm outstretched and a huge line of red lightning coming out of his palms. He was gritting his teeth. "You came for me." He muttered and he looked at him gratefully. When Bagdanas would drop his arm and turn to him, Alex grabbed him and embraced him. "You did come for me!" He said excitedly. Bagdanas nodded and took a glance at Sathanas. "You have failed this time again, Father. However, this one would be different from before. You will be erased from existence and your name will no longer be in the mouth of anyone." He said, his face strong and rigid. "My treacherous son. Let's see how you'll stand up against my other children who have proven to be so loyal." Sathanas mocked but Alex huffed. "Really? Let's see what you've got to say about this then." Someone stepped up beside them both and swirled her sword. "I'm sorry Father, but I've chosen this path." "Asmodeus?!" Sathanas thundered. "Unfortun
THIS CHAPTER IS A THROWBACK TO SOME OF CHER'S CONVERSATIONS WITH HER DAD"Come in."A young lady pushed open the door at the landing, holding around her the hooded cloak. Coming to the hyena territory at this time may seem unwise but she had to be in on the plan as she now seems confused. She has heard of the unfortunate fate of many ladies who walk around the place at that time. Especially if they are not shifters. Non-Shifters are people who are purely human.As she stepped into the room, she was met with a comforting smell of burnt coffee and flowers wafting through her nostrils. A few candles burnt in the corner of the room illuminating only a few parts where a man sat wearing a hat. The moon in its half form shone through a long window that overlooked a huge part of the garden outside. The rest of the space is filled with a stool, and two empty glasses that showed a visitor had just left.
Selena opened her eyes to see fire and brimstone falling, together with screaming and crying for help. She straightened but then realized she had been tied to a pole. She was kept in a cage made of huge iron bars. There was no way she could escape. Talking of escaping, she was too weak to even try.She squinted her eyes to see clearly but the only thing she saw was rocks and stones all over with smoke emanating from every area of the place. She knew immediately that she was in hell. But how? Thinking back to when she was at the bar, she could remember a young good looking Italian guy coming over with a glass of chardonnay on a tray."Your order?" She looked from the booth where she had paid extra to sit, alone.She remembered not having ordered anything yet and she didn't want to let down her guard anytime soon. However, this vibrant-looking man was here in a black and white shirt and trousers uniform stretching a tray o
Alex was furious as he got into the room. He couldn't fight this battle alone. He had gone five blocks from Chelsea's house and asked around for Chris's parents but he was told no one around born such a name. And there hasn't been any stranger in the past two months. Chris wasn't Chris or maybe he was and was just used.But what about Selena? Where the hell was she? Even if she was upset, she should be ready to come home so as to resolve the matter. He was worked up even when almost all the bars and every other place she could go to had been shut. It indicated that Selena has been kidnapped too. He had only one way to solve this. Go down to hell. But how? By going back to Forester. He would have to find someone who could channel him there. The last time he'd tried, demons had been freed. It was at this point Alex was beginning to miss Bagdana.He breathed in and out before resolving to go back to Forester and settle this once and for all.
Dressed in a black and white striped woolen top and jeans that stuck to her body, Chelsea walked next to Chris on the street, hands locked. They could pass as couples to anyone looking at them and it made her toes curl. In as much as she was happy that her crush was here, taking her out, she still was worried about him. She had seen what these demons could do, especially to people who are unarmed. But she wouldn't let any harm come to Chris.They branched a cafe and bought two vanilla grande lattes with six pumps that are hot. They got out and walked out, heading to the restaurant."So, how are you feeling, Chels?" Chris asked, their hands still locked and she looked up at him."I'm trying. This is really hard for me but, I have no choice. It's like my destiny to tied to do this." Chelsea shrugged."Or maybe you don't have to worry yourself." Chris urged and she thought about it for a while. Eventual
Selena felt uneasy with what Chelsea told her but she needed to hear from Alex himself so as to be sure if what she heard was right. Was that what Bagdana meant by her being created for Alex? And Sathanas in Krepe's body telling her Alex is nothing without her.It was dinner time and Chelsea had just finished making hot chicken soup. Unlike the city, Edison was quite warmer but with the season, it's more reasonable to have a chicken soup that hot. In the next few hours, the temperature will drop and they will be grateful they had a hot dinner. She also made casseroles and shrimp crackers, spreading them on the dining table. After settling, she waited for Alex to finish taking his shower and join them."I read in the papers today that the number of suicide shot up since last night. About ten people hung themselves this morning." Chelsea announced as she dished out food in their bowls.Selena just nodded but her mind was a
Chelsea punched the number on the phone and Chris picked up. She was shaking all over and her face had swollen up. She raked a hand through her hair as the phone rang which he eventually picked up."What's up, Chels?"She couldn't speak, because as she opened her mouth, water streamed down her cheeks."The...the chants." She sniffled. "I think you told me the wrong one."Silence ensued and she knew he must be thinking. "Didn't you ask me to tell you the first transmission order?"Her heart jolted. "What?""Yes. That was what you told me, right?" Chris asked and her heart dropped so also did her body on the sofa nearby."No." She cried softly."Are you okay, Chels?" He asked, concern evident in his voice."We released hundreds of demons into the world." Her voice broke and she could see the horror look on his fa
Alex looked up over the candles that were lit and gathered to form a circle in the abandoned temple. He had connived together with Selena and Cher to come to the temple just down the street at 4:06 am when it was still early.The temple had ancient bricks and cement that were broken in various places. It looked like it had served as a hiding place for people during wars. Alex looked around and saw the empty place that was in turn filled with broken bricks, rocks, torn fabrics, bags, wooden materials, and so on. They had cleared a small part of the place and lighted seven candles at the center as Chris instructed."Make sure whatever you do, be careful." Alex had heard the boy tell her and she nodded before hanging up.Now they had finished the setup. The seven candles were placed in a circle, two red fabrics were tied to metal and placed in the middle. Chelsea took the olive oil she had grabbed from the store and began t
Alex woke with a start, sweating profusely and his heart thudding against his chest. He gripped the sheets tighter and something churned within him like fire. What had just happened? Sathanas had erased his mother from existence. How could he?Like a thunderbolt, he left his bed, eyes darkening. Selena stirred on the bed and turned on her other side. Good. Because he wouldn't want her to be involved. But how could he call on Sathanas, talk of fighting him? Besides, the book is now with him which he can use to destroy him. He would have read how to kill him. But he still needed to talk to Chelsea. She alone has the answers to most of their questions.He glanced at the bedside clock and saw that it was still at the wee hours of the day, 3:00 am. He grabbed a shirt and put it on, walking stealthily out of the hotel room.Alex got to the room next to his and rammed on the door, waiting for a reply. Despite his plea to Selena for Chelsea to sleep togeth
