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
Carl acknowledged his greeting and looked at his butler grimacing while Elise went to hold his hand and rubbed his thumb. He looked lifeless with a bandage wrapped around his chest and tubes and cords attached to every area in his body.“ where you able to get out all the mercury poisoning? I mean when was this mercury thing discovered.” Elise asked as she stood near the doctor. “ it was when we were trying to remove the bullets actually and we started noticing the black drops, but the good thing was that it was easily and quickly discovered, so he did not really need a transfusion.” the doctor explained as he pointed to the chest area.Elise and Carl heaved a sigh of relief and was led away by the doctor, she thanked the doctor and then called Sasha to keep an eye on him. Carl posted two body guards to watch the room. He really wanted to know why his butler was attacked and he knew where to get his answers.Elise called the driver as soon as she got out of the hospital, assuring him

Thank you!!! ~~~~~~~~~ PROLOGUE The night was one of those nights that made you loose your mind with the cold. The sky was unkind and the harsh air unforgiving. Giant trees arced their weight, submissive, to the raging wind. Men and women ran, screaming and shielding, into their homes as they flocked their young ones in. Their addled movements like that of animals sensing the promise of a predator on the loose. The storm brought no rain, only the darkness of the sk
She twisted the ring on her finger, when she craved to go back to nights that made her feel eternally alive. The ring reminded her the past was truly dead, it couldn’t come back to hurt you if you bury it as deep enough and for years she had worked so hard to fill up the cemetery with her past. Sometimes she was weak and her heart would beat a little faster when she thought of him, his touch, his words and his rare smile. “Make my day and dance with me?”A soft chuckle, “is that the best line you’ve got?” “It is from being brain dead after staring at this beauty for a long time.” He spoke with his eyes.A young girl’s naive blush, “that’s creepy.”“I’d be creepy as much as you need if it makes you light up like the sun.”Words. He never lacked the words. She kept twisting the ring on her fourth, left finger, she belonged to another, her head knew that, her heart just had to catch up. Collins was a good man and he’d accepted every baggage she brought with her, the least she could do
Two nights ago. The woods were in a fit from the frightened predators that moved with caution. Their place of freedom has become a memory of torment, they sought to hide their young from the ones who hunted them blindly. The trees whispered to each other through the wind. The ever green forest was a witness to blood soaked by the earth. When the wolves emerged from the fog that clouded the dead of night, it wasn’t to hunt but to rescue. A pack of six moved in the night advancing in still motion. Their paw print caved into the earth and it would remain the only evidence of their presence. Like a hunter who knew his way around death, the leader motioned his pack of warriors into a dark cave. It was a spot well hidden from the human eye but an alpha could smell the claws of death miles away. The cave had no shed of light and in the darkness, their eyes glowed and transcended like colorful fires in the dark. They got to the end of the cave but there was no one to save. It was another ni
