The loud and strident noise of the city from honking cars and impatient crowd became pronounced in the room. Silence was more of a necessity than requirement with how much awkwardness and intensity choked the air. Isabella shared a look of worry and displeasure with Alexandra and Rose. They knew the history that was between the two people who burned cold stares at each other. Something has to be said to break the tension but there was nothing to say, so it built itself till it occupied the whole apartment.

Zipporah lost her ability to function, she was jammed to a spot and it didn’t occur to her that there were witnesses. His eyes were cold and deep. They were greener than the last time she looked into them. A lot of things were different from the last time. She felt small standing so close to him, he seemed larger than he was and it didn’t help that he wouldn’t take his eyes away from her face. Every second that wavered brought back memories, the ones she had succeeded to bury and th

    Alex crossed her legs and picked up her tea for a dramatic sip, “come on, you looked so dreamy.” “I wasn’t thinking about anything really,” she rolled her eyes when they all scoffed, “my mind just wandered. I haven’t seen him in a long time, I was shocked and confused. I mean, why is he here? Why now? After all this time.” The humor in the room zoned out at Zipporah’s words. They waited patiently for her to continue. “I mean a lot has happened you know,” her voice became brittle and solo, “but he’s here now and I don’t know how he knows to be here.” It was Isabella inability to hide what she really thinks from her expression that made Zipporah frown. Her face showed guilt and Alexandra avoided her eyes when she tried to find them, Rose awkwardly continued her stirring. “What was that?” She didn’t know why her voice was tight all of a sudden, but she knew they knew something. “You guys know something.” “No we don’t.” Isabella mumbled into her cup. Zipporah could feel her nerves

    The ride was quiet with Zipporah at the back, unsettled as the crowd on the street hastened their footsteps to escape the drizzling sky. She wished she could go back to the simplicity they seemed to possess. They moved with a direction her life was in sudden need of. She sighed and stole her gaze away from the window, it made her heart ache and it reminded her of the way she had stormed out of her friends. Was it selfish if she hoped they were there when she returned? The road was clear, there was no traffic to give her more time to dwell in her heated decision. She rubbed the ring on her finger and it took her mind to her phone. She was sure she had several miss calls from Collins, yet she wasn’t inclined to speak to him. What was she suppose to tell him? He knew of Adam and she knew how much Collins hated him after all he had done to her. Her fingers moved her ring around, she stared at it and wished she could take it off without her action holding more meaning that it should. Her

    The ride was silent and it didn’t help her racking nerves. She felt her palms go wet and unconsciously rubbed them on her hip. In a few seconds they were tuned to arrival. The metal doors opened to the most beautiful art gallery Zipporah had ever seen. She stepped into the stunning room which portrayed a dedication to various forms of art. It held a fascinating amount of space which englobed what resembled a study and several paintings, side by side, on each wall. At the end of the room was a large, black desk before an equally sized chair. Guarding the only furniture in the room, by each side, were two shelves filled with books and miniature sculptures of dog like creatures. The room was painted white as the rest of the house, it had the same splash of colors on the ceiling. The air in the room felt like a blanket on her face, it was warm and light unlike the lightening which was cool and dark. There was a glowing bulb in between each painting and an insufficient chandelier which su

    “Whatever it is, I’m guessing it’s worse than the mafia,” Zipporah dropped her glass on his desk and closed a gap between them. “Kingsley said you are doing things for my own good and you lie to protect me. And I know that’s what everybody says to each other but how about you stop assuming what’s good for me and you tell me the truth so I can protect myself?” She sighed when he remained silent, “please. Just for once don’t leave me hanging.” His body froze to her wistful words then he turned to study her face. When she met his gaze, he gritted his teeth and rubbed the back of his neck. “She wasn’t trying to kill you.” Zipporah wasn’t surprised he knew who it was that attacked her despite the fact that she had mentioned the lady in white to no one. “What was she trying to do?” He locked his eyes on hers, the warmth she had felt in the room seemed to bow out to his freezing clutch. The second before he spoke his next words were relished to Zipporah. It was a moment of ignorance, sh

    Zipporah snuggled her cheeks on warm tough pillows, her neck felt well stationed and she didn’t want to wake up from her comfort spot. The only problem was the thumbing and imbalance her brain felt. It was almost like her bed was walking on a treadmill. She groaned when her knees refused to stretch and her legs felt too light and weak. Slowly she flicked her eye lids open. It took a while for her brain to explain to her iris what her current situation was. But as soon as she realized there was no pillow she went into a mild panic mode. Her comfortable pillows were Adam’s arms and chest which carried her, bridal style, up the staircase of her apartment. He had a few more steps to her door when she began to wiggle and stretch out of his hold. “Put me down.” She grumbled as she reached with her feet to the stairs. Her movements were a bit swift and made her head spin. She held steady on the wall and took quick breaths. Adam helped her up the remaining stairs, her fingers rubbed her h

    “I’m so sorry Bella, I wish the others were here so I could really apologize. Are they still watching N*****x?” “Nah, they slept off before the end. I stayed up, I just couldn’t bring myself to sleep.” Isabella had grown up with absent parents, she was used to staying up late waiting and wondering. It was a dreadful feeling and Zipporah cursed herself for putting her best friend through a rerun of such a hurtful experience. “God, I fucked up big time.” She palmed her face and teared up in them, she should have known better, “I didn’t mean to leave like that, I just felt so angry and pressured and I let it get to me in a stupid way.” Her words came off muffled and weak. She didn’t hear Isabella stand when she felt long, firm arms take her into a silent embrace. The next few minutes withered away with her weeping in patience arms. She cried for her mom, for her dad and she cried for the wreckage that was to be her life soon enough. Her fervid tears dropped through Isabella’s elbow.

    Seaming rays of the sun basked into the airy, open kitchen through yellow waving curtains. It enchanted everything it touched, from the light blue cornered walls to the grey cabinets and cream tiles, with the soothing glow of sunshine. The air in the room enveloped the spicy steam from the pot on fire. It was stirred by his woman, she was a model to the sun as it coated her wild, dark hair and sleek, brown shoulders. The short, white, off-shoulder gown she wore was a layer of dancing silk that exhibited her beautiful skin and each time she whisked around the room she drugged his senses. The moving picture paused to smile at him, her fingers gestured for him to come to her from the shadows. He went her without a second thought. He took her small, full body in his arms. Her waist settled perfectly in his embrace before she rose to her toes and blessed his lips. She tasted like the morning sun, enriching and pure. He closed his eyes, his senses lost to the world as his mouth twinkled int

    Adam placed the call on speaker and dropped his phone on the bed to search for clothes in his black, leather duffle bag. The clothes in the massive walk-in closet belonged to his father and brother, it seemed unnatural and disrespectful to wear them. He picked a black jean trouser and crowned it with a grey top and jacket. There was a quick shuffle on the other side of the call then Everest voice came through sounding worried, “Adam? Are you there?” “Yeah. And nothing is wrong with my mood.” He sneered. “Tell that to your tone,” Everest scoffed. Adam rolled his eyes in annoyance, he blamed himself for having his cousin and childhood best friend as his beta. There was no fear in the way he was addressed, he was used to it but presently wasn’t in the mood for it. “Is there a reason you called?” Getting the message loud and clear, he delivered, “there’s been news of several attacks in the east of the pack hold. Three minor wild packs has reportedly gone missing, their bodies have t

    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.

    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

    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

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.

    “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

    “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

    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

    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?
