>>Harou
I didn’t realize when I dozed off, but the banging sound of the door opening and shutting woke me up violently and I sat up with a fright on the couch.
“What?” I shot my head towards the door.
“AH!” It was an officer, “Sorry…” He placed his hand on the door, “Didn’t mean to make so much noise…” He seemed apologetic and I let out a sigh as soon as I realized it wasn’t anything dangerous. It was the same officer I had assigned some task to and he was here to report his findings.
I rubbed my temples and brought my feet down on the floor, “So?” I looked around the room and noticed Koen, “What’s the report?” He was sitting on the computer chair looking d
>>SamEveryone talked about how Jenny didn’t come for the college exams for two days straight. Miss Lee was worried too but only I know why she didn’t make it.I laughed internally as I walked out of the school. Just one more day and she’ll have missed all the major university exams. I smirked. She deserved that. She is a bitch after all.I didn’t ask the thugs to hurt her sister but whatever, I guess, it was for the better since she was a witness. Sleeping through this incident would be better for her heart.I was in a delightful mood as I stomped down the school ramp, just out the school gate when I noticed someone walking in my direction. I wouldn’t have paid much attention to
>>JenaI opened my eyes and an unfamiliar ceiling along with a familiar smell of chlorine made its way to my nose, making me feel weirdly nauseous. I had to blink a few times to get my vision to clear up and then I turned my head around to see where I was.The room was bathed in soft, muted lighting, casting a warm and inviting glow that made me frown. The air carried a faint scent of antiseptic, a reminder of the sterile environment that surrounded me.A hospital room?The centerpiece of the room was a comfortable bed, neatly made with crisp, white linens on which I lay but there was no one else in the room and I felt slight pain shooting up my head as I tried to move it.Just then I received a text. My phone was right
>>JennyI opened my eyes and found myself laying on lush green grass.“Awake?” A person’s voice next to me scared the shit out of me and I sat up with lightning speed, “Are you alright?”I shot my head to the side to see who it was and then paused. Besides me, about a foot away, was a man crouched down. A man with an otherworldly aura, his hair as white as freshly fallen snow and his eyes a mesmerizing shade of green that seemed to hold secrets of their own.As my gaze met his, a sense of awe washed over me.“Little Miss?” He waved his hand in front of meHe had a really nice voice too.G
>>Koen“I know,” I replied as I held Sam in her place, “And that’s why I’m asking,” I needed to know where Jenny was, to ensure her safety and bring her back to me, “Where is she?” Every fiber of my being yearned for her, and I would stop at nothing to rescue her from the clutches of those who sought to harm her, “I already know she’s not with you or your daddy’s goons.”The fear in her eyes escalated.“So tell me, who did you hand her over to?”Harou’s conclusion was pretty good. He said that if all of Chil’s goons were with him, Jenny wasn’t their hostage, because someone is bound to be on the lookout when a person is kidnapped.
>>HarouI had to take a deep breath before going into the office of the man I’d been wanting to catch.“Oh!” Matthew was delighted to see me, “Look who it is,” He leaned back against his leather office chair, “Detective Harou,” He passed me a smile as I entered the room.I let out a battle sigh, then shut the door behind me, “Matthew,”“You don’t look good,” He made a very obvious statement.“Yes well,” I walked over to the couches slowly, “I haven’t slept in days,” I really didn’t want to come here. I feel like a clown when I’m with Matthew. I know pretty well that he’s a criminal, he beats the shit o
>>KoenEgon, Portia, Ulrich and I spread out through the forest to search for Jenny. Harou had gone to Matthew’s office to take care of Chil’s business after he had informed us that the cabins in the forest are a pretty good place to hide kidnapped people.This was a gamble, but we all took it.We had a small meeting after we had gathered all the information from our side and we got to know Jena’s ex, Lian.What a scumbagJust to instill fear in his ex, he kidnapped her sister.He’s the definition of a trash bag. He took my mate hostage!!
>>JennyThe moment I was almost dragged into the cabin, I had an urge to do something very reckless. It was a fight or flight response and I seemed to be having both of them simultaneously.It was now or neverWith a surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins, I mustered every ounce of strength and resilience within me. In a desperate bid for freedom, I sank my teeth into the flesh of one of the kidnappers, feeling a mixture of satisfaction and disgust as he recoiled in pain, letting my arm go.HAHAH!The shock on the other one’s faces gave me the split-second advantage I needed to break free from their grip.I kicked
>>HarouThe ringing of my phone made me open my eyes in a panic. It was also the thing that brought me out of my sleep and I sat up with a joltOh damn!I shot my head around, looking for where the voice was coming from and noticed it near a pillow. I grabbed my phone in a frenzy and answered it without looking at who was calling.“Hello!?” My voice was a little groggy and my mind was still a little dizzy.“Harou?” I heard a familiar voice“Jenny!!?” I stood up with a wave of relief passing through my body, “Are you okay?” I felt a weight lifted
>>Jena“It was a wonderful event.” Ulrich and I sat on the rooftop open bar after attending Jenny's wedding.“It was nice,” Ulrich replied, “I like the pastel blues in Portia’s theme.”“I know!” I got excited, “And it went wonderfully with Jenny’s theme of pastel yellow.”“Looks like they both put in a lot of effort and time for time.”I let out a satisfied sigh, “Yea,” I smiled and leaned into Ulrich, they sure did, “I’m glad it all went well.” The cool breeze caressed my skin as I took a sip from my drink and let it relax me.As I gazed out at the city skyline,
>>JennyI can’t believe the time is here. I know I was waiting for this day. I wanted to marry Koen so badly so that he would mark me. But I’m still reluctant about moving to The Silver City. It hasn’t even been a year since I started working as an officer. I don’t want to leave my job.Portia is leaving with Egon directly after the wedding ends, she’s more than happy to go with Egon now. I saw the mark on the back of her neck this morning and I found myself anticipating the one I’ll be getting.I was sitting in the bridal room, all dolled up when my mate came to disrupt the thoughts that were torturing me.“What are you worried about?” Koen came and sat down nex
(Further two years later)>>Portia“Hey hurry up!” Jenny whined, “We’re already late!” Jenny graduated from the police academy and now is bossier than ever even though she still hasn’t passed her National Detective and Investigative Test (NDIT) She’s working as an officer now while I just finished my final exam two weeks ago.“Just a minute.” I told her, “We’re leaving for good, I have to make sure we’re not leaving anything behind.” I got an Education degree from a university near Jenny’s and we shared a dorm for four years.I looked around the place that was now empty and I tightly clutched the hand bag in my hands, &ld
>>Jenny“Alright then,” We waited till another music piece started, “It’s really not hard. Since you’re smart. You’ll do great.”I nodded and as another piece started we swayed to the rhythm of the music, our bodies moving in sync. It was really easy to follow Koen’s lead, especially because he was going slow for me so that I could catch up.In the midst of the dance, I couldn't resist the urge to tease him, probably because I was on an edge and needed to divert my attention from the problem tugging at my brain. I was being bolder than usual. Leaning in closer, I whispered into his ear, my voice laced with a playful edge. "You know," I murmured, my breath tickling his skin, "I heard that kissing burns calories, wanna test that theory?"
>>JennyThe grand hall was adorned with opulent decorations, Jena, dressed in regal attire, stepped forward with confidence. She was wearing a breathtaking gown, a creation of exquisite silk and delicate lace. The fabric cascaded around her, flowing like a waterfall of opulenceThe officiant, the highest-ranking werewolf elder, stepped forward and began the ceremony, reciting ancient rituals and blessings. He spoke of the qualities that define a true leader: strength, wisdom, compassion, and the ability to unite the werewolf clans under a common purpose and blah blah blah. I couldn’t concentrate much on it really.One by one, the leaders of the packs stepped forward, offering their allegiance and loyalty to Jena. They pledged to support and follow her, recognizing her as the rightful
(Two years later)>>PortiaDuring the summer vacation holidays after our second year, Jena and Ulrich held their marriage ceremony and Jena’s coronation as Queen. Jenny and I made our way to the Silver City. Considering Jenny doesn’t have a full mark and hasn’t gone through her shifting she has to be accompanied by a wolf to pass the barriers of the Silver City even though she has special permission from the king himself to enter the lycan city.The forest was dense and we had to travel a lot on foot to reach the entrance of the city. It was exhausting but when we reached and saw the two people waiting for us there outside the entrance, our fatigue flew away. It was like a happy moment, where the chemicals in our brains shifted, causing us to forget about our tiredness.
>>JenaWe both waited for them to make a decision, we stood quietly while they glared back at us. It was quite unnerving to just stand there in the awkward and deadly silent while two God knows how old lycans stared at me.Then the previous Queen let out a sigh“Bianca dear,” Mother in law turned to her, “I’m sorry we called you here.” She shook her head, “You can go back. I apologize for inconveniencing you.”!!!Does she mean what I think she means by that?!?!Bianca was baffled at the apology, “Are you taking the human’s side?” She looked at the couple in di
>>UlrichShe nodded, “Yes,” Her answer held no doubt, “You need a Queen. And it has to be someone educated. You need a noble lycan to help you with your work as king.”….“NO!” I answered back in disbelief, “Not happening.” I removed her hands from my face and stepped back, “Absolutely not!”I had a bad feeling on my way here too but I wasn’t expecting them to say something so stupid.Marry someone else? Make someone else my Queen? Does that make any sense??!The depth of my love for Jena was unyielding. Every fibe
>>JenaBianca Beez!?Why is she here? I keep hearing her name but the only solace I had was that I didn’t have to see her myself or see her near Ulrich. So why is she here, in the palace, out of the blue?“Oh?” I raised my brow at her, “I’ve never heard of you.” I gave her a confident smile.“Oh?” She looked a little offended at that, but it seemed my words didn’t bother her much, “Well, men tend to hide their lovers.”Her words pissed me off. Lovers? Is she trying to imply that she and Ulrich were lovers?“Oh, no,” I shook my he
