She felt the mist rise up as she looked around still searching for Lucas and she walked on a bit before she stumbled. Carl looked for her in the mist and he felt very miserable as he did so. “Where on earth was Elise?” his wolf worsened the whole thing when it began making small pained whines. He knew if anything went wrong with Elise he would have himself to blame.He suddenly shifted to his wolf and howled loudly, because he felt that she was in danger or something evil was happening to her. It was like someone was struggling with her and he gave a second howl and he sighted her in the clearing mist. He fly like he bumped into someone even as he rushed to her, but he ignored the feeling, all that mattered was that Elise was safe.He shifted back to his human form and ran to hug her. He picked her up and carried her in is arms and sped back to the house. Elise felt the air fill with tension as she tried to wrap her mind around what had just happened, who was Lucas? Why on earth was h
The sun was out shining brightly and the beach area seemed a little crowded, a mother was seated under a purple umbrella. She and her daughter who looked like a year old had the same copper brown hair and gray eyes. They also wore matching flowery one piece bikinis. Elise looked at them lovingly and Carl hugged her. There was a group of teenagers playing with a ball that rolled over to their side. Carl picked the black and white ball and threw it back. They all yelled their thanks and continued their game. They walked down to a row of some old shops made from browned tin roof and palm leaves, there was a row of coconut trees behind them, that gave shade to the sellers.Carl pulled Elise into one of the shops, where an old man dressed in a blue shirt and jean shorts that matched his eyes, sold jewellery. They both looked at his little collection and Carl bought her a silver and ruby pendant with the inscription of the infinity sign.Elise thanked him, but her mind was not really with
“Bianca! Bianca! Pick this phone up now.” Elise almost yelled in frustration as she chewed on her sandwich filled with avocado, lettuce, chicken and tomato. Carl had gone out to attend to business, leaving her and the maid in charge,……….. in the huge house.Elise had taken a shower changed into a purple kimono and silk and fur sandals. Then the maid fixed her a plate of sandwiches and coconut milk infused with cinnamon. She decided to call Bianca and send the text to Bianca. But she had not picked up her phone.“Hello! Chica what is up baby girl? You have not been dropping juicy details on the group. In fact you have been hoarding sweet information from us.” Bianca accused her as she called.“Sorry! I have been to busy to even come on the group. Besides the last time I checked you were getting it from Vince, that hot shot at your work place. That aside! There is fire on the mountain! You have to help your girlfriend out.” Elise begged as she dropped the sandwich in her hand and sat up
“One more stop before we get going!” Carl announced as they left the restaurant, and entered into the car. A bouquet of what looked like a hundred roses laid on her seat and Elise squealed in delight, she had always dreamed of having roses given to her. In fact she usually bought herself a rose each birthday she had.She jumped into his arms and kissed him soundly, Carl carried her into the seat and asked her to close her eyes while he pulled out a black silk blindfold. Elise giggled and closed her eyes, she felt the soft material tickle her nose.The car zoomed off and soon they arrived at their location. Elise could sense that it was a lounge by the loud jazz music and the scent of different colognes that was easily differentiable. She followed his hands and as she entered into the place, he slipped the blindfold and she saw a beautiful banner with her picture and the inscription of a romantic poem and balloons and a group of jazz musicians playing.Elise felt really shy and nervous
Elise was very angry and sent for Thomas, she needed answers and she needed it fast. She had dismissed the both of them in anger, telling them to pull out all the efforts and information they can muster about the stolen stone.The moon festival and feast was around the corner and without that stone, a whole lot of imbalance and disaster could happen. Why would such a thing happen. After she just laid down her happiness, freedom on the altar of mating. No one can mess with what was hers to protect.The documents with the lady was the dossier she had on Amanda and a folder that was marked confidential which Elise had never seen. It had information on all the secret dealings going inside the council. Some of which caught her fancy, even as she viewed them.It seemed like a bunch of photocopies but they seemed extremely useful and too detailed to be leaked, she was waiting for Thomas as she looked into more of the documents, she saw the seal of the council on many of the papers and realiz
Meanwhile Elise was watching Amanda on a screen from a recording that a secret camera insect like drone implanted on the walls of Amanda's palatial house, alongside Thomas as everything was going on and she warned both of them.Melissa and Selena pretended like they were not aware when they saw the black sedan of Amanda's guard trailing them through the tinted back window. The driver dropped them off at the gate and when they both entered, they hugged and went their separate ways.Selena went straight to the shower and washed off the monitoring spell that was made on her and continued her tasks. Elise was sitting in her own lounge turned office as she looked at the various case files before her. Bianca was able to pull off a detailed dossier on everyone except that Lucas Wainwright and she was at her wit’s end because of that.Anytime she thought about him, questions about who he was, his heritage and why he was so interested in her usually came up. She pondered about who the Shadow h
Gerald looked at his boss as they checked each file of possible criminals that could have stolen the Luna stone. Carl had overhead the conversation between Selena and Elise and was shocked when he was told that it happened the day before.“ Why does it have to be kept as a secret from me? Why should Elise even be keeping secrets from me? Have I not been a good enough mate Gerry ?” Carl asked Gerald soberly. “ You know it actually takes time for a woman who was not initially in love with her husband to grow in love. That is what it is, just give her time.” Gerald replied and rubbed his arms.Meanwhile Melissa and Selena were talking as they walked to a secret location sent by Amanda to prevent suspicions and gossip. As they arrived at what looked like a fancy restaurant, they were surprised to see Elvis dining with Amanda.Amanda thanked him for the dinner and gave him a sound kiss, before rubbing his back and escorting him out of the restaurant. She commanded the both of them to sit d
Ever since they got back from the honey moon, things had worsened between them. They had begun fighting again and she had a niggling feeling that he knew she was going out with someone else. She shrugged and knew that he did not really care either, she remembered how they fought on evening when she had asked for information needed to set up for the festival.“ You are my Luna, you are no longer the guardian. You have no right to such information.” he had said as he typed on his laptop. “Excuse me! I am a guardian by birth right. I still have the seal and I have every right to ensure that the festival goes well. I can never abandon Victor to all those duties.” she said as she paced and stared him down.“ I will never allow my mate to slave away under the guise of being a guardian. You are my mate, my Luna and nothing else. If your brother needs help, he can get an organizing committee.” Carl waved her off while she still stared at him with an incredulous look.“ You must be kidding me
