MIA:As soon as Alessandro walked past me, I rolled my eyes. I knew he wouldn't dare to go after Elena after she left. He was mine already, and we had a lot going on. If he loses me, then he would lost a lot of things as well.I had no idea why Elena was here, or who had brought her back, but this wasn't just the damn right time for her to come back. There was still a lot more to do.Elena's presence once again reminded of what I had gone through in the past trying to get father's recognition, and trying to keep my feelings for Alessandro a secret from she and the world. Her presence made me scared that I would lose everything, especially the love and attention I was getting from our father. She had always been the loved one, and it scared me so fucking much to lose everything that I had now.My phone rang in my pocket and I immediately brought it out. It was dad calling."Dad.""Come to the mansion immediately.""Yes dad." He ended the call immediately. As I stared at my phone, so ma
ALESSANDRO:As soon as I got to the spot where Kyle had directed me, I stepped out from the car. "Are you certain she's here?""Stop asking further questions and start running before they hurt my mate.""Point of correction, Kyle, it's our mate and not yours." I replied to him as I had figured out he keeps making that mistake. I could hear their heartbeat, but then there was the heartbeat of Elena, and it was racing so fast. It made me understand that she was so scared. When I listened closely again, it because Norma. Did she overcome her fear or did something happen to her?I began to head towards their direction, cocking my gun and getting prepare to fire any person that I would come across first.As I walked closer, the first person I spotted was Elena on the floor with 4 men around her. I clenched my fingers, turning them into fist as I watched as she shivered in their mist. My eyes immediately turned red with rage, and I found myself firing a bullet at one of the men as I watched
MIA:"What are you trying to say, dad. Don't you trust me with the company? I've worked so hard for two years trying to prove myself to you, but whatever I do, you don't seem to see me fit. Why? Is Elena your only daughter?""Don't talk about your elder sister in that manner, Mia. Don't bring Elena into our conversation next time."I scoffed aloud when I heard him. No matter how much I need dad didn't want to talk about Elena, he still wanted her back at all cost."Elena cost you your reputation two years ago, and I worked so hard to bring back the reputation she lost. She cost you and this pack everything, but I stood by you and all your rules. What else must I do in order for you to even give me a chance to prove myself to you, dad."He cleared his throat and then took his gaze away from me while I continued to stare at his with tears around down my eyes. Now I was at the verge of losing everything since Elena was back, and I just couldn't lose it. I tried to calm myself, but for th
MIA:Jackson was as surprised as I was. I could see that shock in his eyes when I asked him about his men."What are you talking about? The job should have been done by now, Mia so what are you talking about?"I almost raised my hand again to slap him, but I held myself back from doing so. I took a deep breath in, and spoke, "Are you kidding me? Call those darn boys and ask them why the fuck they weren't answering my calls. I need to know what's going on because I'm slowly losing my mind right here. I need to know my next step. Elena can't be here! She fucking can't!""Take it easy Mia, just be cool. I'll check up on them now."He turned and then called some of the boys outside. "Check up on the boys right now."I was waiting, and about five minutes later, the men he had ordered to call his boys walked in. "All switched off." He said. "I fucking told you, Jackson, what's going on? Please check on them. If Elena finds out what happened, I'll be good as dead. I can't have her find out."
ELENA:When our eyes met,bi began to take steps away from him. My heart was racing so fast, and I kept wondering what the hell I was doing here.Then, it suddenly hit me. Everything that happened last night suddenly hit me. I recalled the way he killed those men, making me lost my balance while stepping backwards. I was about to fall, but Alessandro let go of the tray in his hands, and caught me before I could fall.As everything shattered, I covered my ears.I couldn't stop my heart from racing faster. He was at a close range to me. Too close for me to even breathe properly. I knew it was as a result of the feelings I still had for him up to this very moment. "Are you alright?" He questioned, and I immediately returned to my senses. God, what the hell waa I even thinking. What about Mia? Recalling Mia could be anywhere, I knew I had to leave immediately. This was a fucking mistake, and things weren't supposed to happen like this."Let go."His arms were still around my waist, "I sa
DAMIAN:"Damnit, fucking damn it" I turned back to stare at Daniel who was standing behind me with his hands on his waist. "Where the hell is Elena?"I kept waiting and waiting until I heard my phone ring. I even had to go back to where she was before but there was still no sign of her. When I picked up the call, I heard Elena's voice."Hey! Hey, where are you Elena? What's wrong? Did something happen?""I'm fine, Damian, I'm fine."When I heard her, I took a deep breath in. I had been damn worried the entire time, but hearing her voice made me calm again. "Tell me where you are and I'll come to you immediately, Elena."Shenwaa quite when I spoke for a while, then I heard her voice again,."You don't have to worry about me Damian, I'll be fine on my own. I Just have some things to sort out on my own, and I promise I'll see you after that."That was all what Elena said before she ended the call while I stared at my phone in disbelief. At least I was now calm that she was okay, but whe
MIA:I had lost count of how many times I had scoffed after walking into the house. In fact, it escaped my lips again because it was just fucking truly unbelievable. There was no fucking doubt that Alessandro was no longer in his right mind, and Elena, how fucking dare she?It was now obvious that Elena was fucking trying to get him back even after knowing Alessandro was my husband. I tried to calm myself down, but it was simply impossible. I was fucking going crazy."Damn it!" I yelled out loud, shattering everything I could lay my hands on. The fucking bastard wasn't home either. I knew he was going after Elena after he left.I tucked my hand into my bag on the couch and brought out my phone to dial Jackson's number. After he picked, my anger simply became worse."Elena's Alive. She's fucking alive, and she's destroying everything. What the hell hall, Jackson? Why the hell is Elena still alive when you sent four of your most trusted and strong men out there. There's no fucking way y
JACKSON:"You fucking dimwits!! How about I pull out your fucking eyes if you don't find that lady. She couldn't have just vanished into thin air just like that.""We're trying our best to find her boss, but I don't think she could have escaped alone. One minute, we had her, and the next minute, she was gone."I had already lost too many of my men trying so hard to find Elena. Just who fucking hell got into my way this time around. I made use of my feet and kicked one of the dimwit kneeling on the floor close to me. "Get out of the way." I warned the rest of them and began to walk away. Maybe I should just do it myself, but damn I was fucking scared of Alessandro. It still plays in my mind how he beat me up 3 years ago.As I got to the car, I made use of my legs to hit the wheels so hard, making my right foot hurt so bad as I groaned. I needed to fucking learn how to control my fear at least and face Alessandro if I really wanted to be with Mia.Probably that was why she chose Alessan
MIA:I knew who Tristan Thompson was, and as I kept standing at Alessandro's door, I knew he was gonna come out, or let me in. I patiently waited, counting every damn seconds, and just before I utter the word 20, I heard the door knob creak even though it had taken longer than I expected.A little smirk crept on my lips as I watched the door slowly open, and when Alessandro showed his face to me, that smirk disappeared."You decided to come out simply because I have information on your mortal enemy?""I've told you times without number, Mia, you and I are simply together because of what you offered in the past. There's only a few more days for all that to be over, and I don't ever plan on renewing the contract no matter what it is that you have to offer.""Then you wouldn't wanna know where Tristan Thompson and his family are?" I moved closer to Alessandro with just two steps and continued, "Hus family destroyed your father's reputation, they made your father kill himself when you wer
MIA:As I shut the door to my office and locked it, I received a call but didn't pick it up until I got to my car. I had to hasten my steps because I was eager for the call and I had been expecting it.Maybe because I had it in mind that it was my time to put everyone in their places. I had gone through fucking enough already and to even know that both Alessandro and Damian were on Elena's side was the most painful part of everything. As I got to my car and shut the door, I answered the call when it came again, and placed the phone right next to me."Hey, what took you so long?""I'm sorry, but I was trying to confirm my suspicious after what I found out.""That's good, at least you found out something. so tell me what's it." "There's a lady, ma'am. A lady by the name Amanda, buy I have absolutely no idea who she is. They were together, and I saw him drop her off at a local street in dark moon pack.""A lady?" I questioned myself, but decided to allow him continue, "I couldn't find he
ELENA:I watched Damian effortlessly paced to and fro around the living room while holding his phone, and staring at it every 5 minutes. He would say some words under his breath, and shut his eyes in frustration at some point in time and even I couldn't think properly with whatever he was doing.Although I was still trying to understand the reason why Damian had left the wedding in such a state after hearing something from Daniel, but that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was telling him the truth about Alessandro and I. I didn't know how Damian would take the news or if he would even help me if I told him about the news, but I had to somehow.I cleared my throat aloud, expecting him to give me attention, but Damian didn't. He didn't also stop pacing and that got me to stand on my feet and walk towards him. I touched his shoulders, which made him stop pacing, and then I made him look at my eyes,"What's wrong Damian? If you're desperately waiting for a call, th
DAMIAN:I wasn't tired of trying, and neither was I tired of trying to find out exactly who Amanda's mother was. I stepped out of the company and headed straight for the hospital, and when I arrived, I had to look around again to ensure that I wasn't being followed just like before.When I was assured that nobody was behind me, I walked into the hospital and headed for Amanda's ward. It's been two days she's here now, and I got absolutely nothing for her. Today, u wanted thing to be different because I felt Amanda was right. If I was the good guy, then there was no need to keep her locked up. She would never learn to open up to me if I did.I rasped a knock on the door and when it was opened, I stepped in to see her seated on the bed but she was backing Daniel."What's wrong?""She has been like this without moving, and I can't seems to get her out of that position."I walked towards Amanda and laid my hands on her shoulder, but she didn't move. "Hands off." She uttered with a cold a
MIA:I sat on the three seater sofa, waiting patiently for Alessandro's return, but he didn't come home up until late midnight. When I felt tired and gave up all hopes, I laid down on the sofa and Fe asleep only to wake up the next morning.Alessandro didn't come home tonight.It meant two things,It was either he had spent the night with Elena or he was somewhere else doing his normal dangerous job with his enemies. I rose to my feet and headed straight for the stairs so I could go get prepared and leave for work. About 30 minutes later, I was done preparing and ready to go. As I got outside the house, I noticed a new car amongst the cars in the compound and it didn't take me long to recognize it as Elena's car. I scoffed aloud, not even my eyes, and the fact that all this had been going for a long time and yet I failed to even notice it.Not wanting to be late for work, I found my car keys and headed straight to my car. As I got in, I ignited the engine and drove away to the compan
MIA:Jackson and I had decided not to meet up in his house. I parked my car right in front of a narrow path, ensuring that there was no passerby, when I opened the car door, Jackson stepped out from one of the corners around and immediately got into the car, shutting the door immediately he stepped inHe took off his glasses and laid back on the seat."Fuck, this is damn stressful. Why can't we meet at an hotel or something?""Because for fuck sake you dummy, Elena's beginning to suspect me, and this time, I think Elena's working with Alessandro. In fact, she's working pretty fine with Alessandro knowing fully well that's he's my husband, and what he did to her in the past."I was fucking confused at the moment."Damian too. I think all three of them are working together so we have to be extremely careful Jackson. No more constant meeting and most importantly, no sex and funny games on anyone. You should try and stay on a low key, also hide your identity as much as possible. Elena kno
DAMIAN:I parked my car in the mansion and stepped out from it, tucking my two hands into my pocket as I walked in to go see my dad. When I arrived, dad was with two of his friends, and the moment he spotted me, there was a look of disappointment in his face.I immediately took my gaze away, heading towards the stairs because I knew I had to wait till he would be done with his friends. About 2 hours later, I came back downstairs, and thankfully, his friends were gone.I didn't wait for permission, but took my seat and waited for him to speak first. That was how spoilt I was and my dad didn't really see an offense in that. Since I was an only heir and only son, I always got whatever I wanted."What happened at the wedding?"I had already planned everything I needed to say to him today. "Some of the packs property were being destroyed by rogues. I couldn't just stand back and watch.""Why wasn't I informed any of this?""Daniel found out too late and he was hurt by them. We had no idea
MIA:"The wedding was cancelled!" I questioned as Elena broke the news to dad. I was expecting him to yell at her and say all sort of things. To call her names and scold her, but he calmly asked,"Why?" He simply asked, and because of this, I widened my eyes in shock wondering what was going on."Do you know what you've done. How do you want to explain to the public about the photos released days ago? Do you want them to begin their suspicions again? This is a really dangerous step to take Elena. We need that wedding to hold."Dad cocked his head towards me, and said, "I wasn't talking to you Mia. Elena, answer the question.""Damian's going through some hard times right now, and I'm trying to be there for him. We just wanna get to know each other more and.more importantly, this decision came from Damian. You don't have to worry dad, he was the one who took down the photos so he knows what he's doing.""How do we ought to gain favor from his pack if you two don't get married right awa
AUTHOR'S POV:Amanda still laid on the bed with her gaze facing the wall, and even though she knew Damian had walked away, she didn't want to turn her head because she had tears in her eyes.Daniel could have left her to die when the rogues had attacked her and not saved her because that was exactly what she wanted. There was fear in her heart, and even though Amanda knew how to act pretty strong in front of people, she only breaks down when she's alone.Daniel didn't move an inch from the entrance where he stood watching over Amanda, but he could hear her whispers as she cried. One moment, he wanted to take steps closer to her, and them maybe try to comfort her, but the thought of Amanda snapping at him made him discard the thought from his mind immediately, and replace it with minding his own business.Daniel had never been afraid of a lady before, but for Amanda, it was quite different, especially the day she had found out it was him who nearly ran her over. The look on her face th
