Chapter Twenty-Four: Request. THINKING about everything that happened this past week, there are lots of questions formed in my mind. Just like how no news came out after a rogue attacked the hospital. I didn't think of it at first because my mind was too occupied with how to protect my son. Now that I have a lot of time to think, I couldn't help but think about it. “Are you sure you’re okay?” I was snapped from what I am thinking when Ales touched my shoulder and asked. After turning my head to him and smiling, I shook my head. “Nothing, I think I forgot something this morning. I couldn't think of what it is though… Anyway, what happened last week when I wasn't here? Who assisted Sir Brandon?” I asked. That also bothered me! Ales shrugged. “It was Sir Evan, of course. He was always the one who replaces his assistant whenever his secretary has leaves, absences resigned, or got fired…” My brow raised. “So he changes secretary from time to time?” “Hmm, yes? In my past four yea
Chapter Twenty-Five: Start Over.THE camping sounds great but the idea that it might be still awkward between me and Brandon, it doesn't. I am silently wishing that everything will go well once we're there…“Mom? Are you okay?”I was busy scrolling through my phone when Brent sat down beside me. To entertain myself, and because I don’t want to talk to Brandon, I made myself busy through my phone to avoid talking to them. I glanced at Brent and patted the top of his head. “I’m alright, why did you ask?”His lips pouted then turned his head to Brandon. “Did you get into a fight? Because you’re not talking.”Brent’s question attracted Brandon’s. “That’s right, buddy, ask your Mom about that,” he replied, pouting his lips.“What?” My eyes widened. Why does it sound like I was the one who started the fight? If he didn't do that to me earlier, scaring the hell out of me, then we wouldn't be in this situation! “You should ask yourself!” I defended myself.“Ask myself? I already apologized t
Chapter Twenty-Six: Sharlotte’s Friend.I’M ALMOST late when I got to work. To be honest, I don't want to go to work today. I don't feel like working when I’m in a bad mood… My eyes glanced at the phone when it rang then I lazily took it and answered.“Hi, Sir? What do you need?” Ales glanced at me like he was surprised by my behavior. I wasn't like this to be honest, I always try my best to be as polite as possible when talking to Brandon. I don't want someone to notice that there’s something between us. But today was different, I’m still mad, although he already apologized to me.“Coffee please?”I rolled my eyes and almost told him to just make his coffee by himself but thanked God! I didn't. “Alright, coming up, Sir!” I replied.I quickly ended the call and stood up to go to his office. I saw him busy working on his table, he didn't even glance at me. Without saying anything, I continued walking through his coffee table and made his coffee. “Can you put a spoonful of creamer?”
Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hunters.I WOKE up late because I didn't get enough sleep last night. The whole night I’ve been worried about that man who talked to Sharlotte. I know that Brandon sent guards that were almost like air, so we couldn't see them. But I’m still worried.I was still groggy from sleep. Slowly walking to the kitchen to see if my Mom already cooked for us. But I almost dropped my jaw the moment I saw who was sitting on our table while talking gracefully with Mom!“Mom!” I exclaimed. “Why are you letting a stranger eat on our table?”Raising her head to me, the smile on her face subsided the moment she saw me.“Kayla, you're getting too rude. That's not how I raised you! Come on and sit, Brent wakes Sharlotte and Anthon for breakfast.”“What? And you’re going to wake up my siblings just to eat with a stranger?” I asked. “This man is flirting with my sister last night! And when I asked Sharlotte to go inside, he glared at me! He glared!” I said, pointing out the last word
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Midnight Attack.Third Person POV:“LOOK I am not your enemy here, I know that you’re worried that I might hurt your family but trust me. I’m sure that there’s someone looking over Scott’s family.”Diether’s eyes looked sincere while saying those words towards Brandon. While Kayla was still not convinced, Brandon felt that. He held her hand and squeezed it gently.“Thank you for worrying for them, but I guess those people you are seeing are my guards.”Diether’s forehead wrinkled, seemed unconvinced but he just shrugged. “Alright… I think I should go now. Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you. But if something happens, I’m still here to rescue. I am their neighbor, I can’t just sit there doing nothing if something might happen…” he said before leaving.After Diether left, Brandon turned his attention to Kayla, who was still worried. He smiled at her while entwining their fingers.“I think you don't have to worry. If your gut-feelings are right, my guards are there to r
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fooled.JUST BY thinking of Brandon, Kayla was surprised that he finally arrived. She was shocked by how Brandon took down the Lycan without doing much effort. He punched it once and it was already thrown to the ground. Kayla was still in shock, when Bradon lifted his head to her, making eye contact. Soon, Brent run towards him and was about to attack but Brandon embraced him and Brent started to calm down.“It was his first time, right?” Diether asked.Brandon didn't answer Diether, instead, he glared at him. “My Lycans lost their conscious, how did they take them down when they are one of the strongest warriors?” “I… didn’t know. Why are you looking at me like I have anything to do with this?”Shortly, Brent finally calmed down and he started to go back to his human form. As soon as Kayla saw that Brent was all fine, she didn’t hesitate to run toward him. Anthon opened the door and run to their mother. Fortunately, she’s fine, just minor bruises.“Your mother,

Chapter Thirty-One: She Didn't Know.THREE days had passed and Kayla couldn't go anywhere else aside from their house. Brandon didn't let her until he was sure that everything was fine. They were guarded by Lycans outside and Brandon seemed uncontented, he even hired Diether.“I think the guards outside are enough, why does Brandon need to hire you?” Kayla asked after rolling her eyes.She didn't mean to be rude but she couldn't help it. She’s still not convinced with Diether. It bothers her every time he’s inside their house. But for her siblings and Brent, Diether was fine. Was she the only one who’s feeling indifferent towards him?“The Alpha wants to make sure that you and your family are alright. I came from a pack warrior when I was still in our pack. Don’t worry, he did a background check on me before he decided to hire me as your guard. Why can't you trust me?” he asked.“Maybe my guts felt that you’re not a good guy,” Kayla replied.“Your guts must be wrong, Miss Kayla.”Afte
