~Celine~ “Argh.” We both moaned loudly as we reached ecstasy. I giggled softly as I rolled off his body. “That was…” “Amazing,” I answered, looking at him. He still looked so handsome even though he was oozing out sweat. “I have to go and check up on Kendrick,” I muttered, trying to get out of bed, but he stopped me by grabbing my wrist. “So soon? Kendrick should be doing just fine with Betty. Why do you have to check up on him now?” “Because I didn’t feed him before you dragged me into your room and pinned me down on the bed. You aren’t the only one that owns me now, boy. Your son owns me too, and he needs me.” I teased him, and he chuckled and shook his head. “Noooo. C’mon baby. Don’t ruin the fun.” He pouted, causing me to laugh. “I’ll be back as soon as I feed Kendrick, okay? I promise.” I answered, finally getting out of bed. I wore a long, flared gown and walked out of the room, heading to Betty’s room. Entering her room, I saw her tickling Kendrick as he lay down on t
~Unknown~ Getting out of my towel, I lay flat on the bed fully naked. The breeze coming in from my windows and touching my skin was the best feeling ever. I let out a deep sigh and stared at the ceiling. ‘This would be the perfect time for Betty to be here, laying next to me.’ I thought with a wide smile on my face. It’s been almost two weeks since we last saw each other. After leaving here, she didn’t call or text. And I can’t do the same. She warned me several times not to reach out first as this could be dangerous for both of us. But now, I really want to text her and tell her how much I miss and love her. I can’t just wait for this whole plan to be over and then we can finally be together. While I fantasized about the perfect happily ever after ahead of us, a message popped into my phone, jolting me out of my thoughts. I hastily sprang to my feet to reach for my phone. I recognized that sound perfectly. Anytime it sounded, I knew it was Betty texting. I grabbed my phone an
~Charles~ Sitting in front of the computer, my mouth parted in a wide yawn as I reached for the coffee cup next to my hand. If I counted correctly, I already spent three hours in the private room, with my eyes fixed on the screen non-stop. I just understood why my late father never left this room. After taking a large gulp from the coffee cup, I took a glance away from the screen to place the cup back on the table, only for me to look up and see that the computer had gone off. “What the hell is wrong with this thing?” I muttered in frustration. It was the second time in three hours that it had gone off and it was beginning to piss me off. I had to call Ceaser both times to make it start working again, but this time, I was going to do it myself. I watched him closely both times. ‘I can do this.’ I stood up and pushed my chair back. I stared at the wire and socket he touched and nodded, assuring myself. I knelt in front of the junction box and picked up the wires. Recalling how h
~Alpha Kilhan~“Alpha Kilhan!” I heard someone call my name from outside the door, causing me to look in its direction. “Who is there?” “It’s Drex. Your mother wants to see you and it’s pretty urgent. Told her you are trying to rest, but she insisted.” “Argh.” I groaned, heaving a sigh. “I’ll join her soon. Thank you.” I dragged myself out of the bed and sat up, letting out another tired sigh. I have been so busy with business these past few days that I hardly have time for myself, and to my greatest surprise, Celine seems to be cool with that. Right now, I believe she cares about Kendrick and her friendship with Betty more than us. I was happy everything was peaceful but I really miss her. Actually, I miss her every day. The very next minute she leaves my side, I’m missing her already. Feeling like a young man in love, I walked to my closet to get a casual outfit. I picked a green shirt and a pair of jeans, put them on, and headed out to see my mother. Walking down the hallwa
~Celine~ ~After Three Months~ “Oh no! Kendrick!” I yelled in frustration, staring at him in disbelief. “What? Why are you yelling at him like that?” Betty answered with a frown on her face, moving closer to me and taking him from me. “I just finished bathing and cleaning him up, only for him to poop and mess up his diapers again! The party had long started and I haven’t even shown my face because of him.” I muttered. “Hey, you can’t tell him not to poop when he wants, okay? If it’s about you showing your face to the party, then go. I’ll clean him up and bring him down.” Betty responded, smiling widely at Kendrick. She raised him in the air, still smiling widely at him, and he smiled back at her. I heaved a sigh and nodded. “Are you sure? You shouldn’t miss the fun too. I can quickly clean him up.” “Celine, I’m fine. I can take care of him. You should greet the guests. You're Luna, remember? Plus, I think Kendrick likes me more today.” She uttered, and Kendrick let out another
~Alpha Kilhan~ “Thank you so much for coming,” I uttered with a wide smile, slightly bowing to my mother’s friends. “Please enjoy the party,” I added, before walking away. I raised my head and looked around, scanning the living room for Celine but she was nowhere to be found. While I moved further away from the guests, about to start a thorough search for Celine, I saw Charles running down the stairs, panting heavily. I creased my brows and took long strides toward the stairs. As soon as our eyes met, I watched him struggle with trying to keep his composure. “Come with me.” He whispered as soon as he got down the stairs. He turned a turn to the right and I followed after him, with the guards following closely. “What’s going on? Where is Celine and Kendrick?” I asked, taking a glance around to make sure people weren’t watching. “They are nowhere to be found.” He responded with gritted teeth. “What are you talking about?? She was here with you minutes ago!” “Lower your voice!
~Celine~ “Hmmm!” I groaned as my head felt too heavy for my neck to carry. “Hmm.” Though I opened my eyes, I saw total darkness. I tried to move, but I realized that I couldn’t move. I couldn’t move my hands and legs. I tried to open my mouth to speak, but there was a barrier in my mouth too. “Hmmmm!” I moaned loudly again as I remembered what happened before I blacked out. ‘Kendrick!’ I yelled in my head as I began to struggle with my restraints. “Struggling isn’t going to help you.” I heard a distant voice, and before I knew it, I felt someone pull the blindfold bag off my head. The barrier in my mouth was also loosened The bright light in the room stung my eyes, causing me to squint painfully. “Who the hell are you?! Where is my son??!” I yelled with my eyes still closed. The bright white light was directly set in front of me, so when I tried to open my eyes, I saw nothing behind the lights. “It’s so nice to see you again, Jessica.” The voice drew closer, and when then, a
~Alpha Kilhan~ Panting hard, I began to break into the rooms one after the other, leaving Charles and Drex to deal with the men who were watching and guarding the place. I stormed into the fifth room, and what I saw made my eyes widen in terror. Celine sat on a chair and behind her was a man, who had a knife placed against her ear. There was blood slowly flowing from her ear, letting me know he was starting to hurt her. Immediately he saw I was in the room, he moved the knife to her neck. “Take one more step and that is the end. Even though you kill me, I have nothing to lose.” He uttered, pressing the sharp part of the knife against her skin. He pressed it so hard that she winced in pain while she stared at me with her teary eyes. “Kilhan.” She called softly. “Don’t you dare speak, woman!” He yelled, pressing the knife against her skin ever harder. “Hey!” I put my hands forward, hoping he would stop. “Tell me what you want. I’ll give you anything. Just let them go.” I uttere
~Celine~ After Two Years “Kendrick!” I called out as he ran out of the room. I sprang to my feet and ran out of the room to grab him, only for me to see that Kilhan had grabbed him already. “Haa.” I sighed. “He’s so fast for a two-year-old,” I muttered, shaking my head tiredly. “Well, he is my son, of course, he’s going to be faster and stronger than any other child. I can’t wait for him to start running faster than this.” Kilhan responded while Kendrick chuckled in his arms. “Time is all you need. Now, can you please get him away from me so I can rest?” I asked with a smile, planting a kiss on Kilhan and Kendrick’s cheeks. “Right,” Kilhan answered and turned to leave. “Mama,” Kendrick called, waving at me as Kilhan started to walk away. “I love you, baby,” I responded, blowing him a kiss before heading back into the room. I got into the room and slammed into the bed. I lay flat on my back as I stared at the ceiling. About a year ago, before Kendrick turned one, Kilhan and
~Charles~ The Next DayWe all stood under black umbrellas as the rain drizzled. In front of us was a priest conducting Mrs Anna’s funeral. Kilhan ordered that his late mother be buried in the compound so she’s always close to home. He needed that warmth. At my right stood Celine, holding onto Kilhan tightly. Sadness was evident on their faces. One of his men held up an umbrella for them. I kept a straight face, adjusting my black shirt and tie as I watched them put her casket into the ground. “Are you okay?” Caesar asked softly, and I nodded, keeping my eyes on the casket. “Yes, I am. Thank you.” I answered. He was the one holding up the umbrella for both of us. I wanted him to stay back at the house, but he insisted that he come with me. His exact words were “I am coming with you, Alpha Charles. I’ll be ready to protect you if anything happens.” Soon, Kilhan, Celine, and his pack members moved forward to pour sand on her casket before it was covered. All this while, I took g
