Chapter 58

Present day...

Bryant Reed POV

I had no idea where we were or how we got here, but opening my eyes, I found myself lying on the cold floor of a place that looked like a warehouse. The light penetrating the place showed that it was broad daylight if it was not early in the morning. I wasn't sure.

Even though I had not checked my body, I knew that I was badly bruised from the beatings Alpha Kayla had ordered his men to give to us until I passed out. I was with Nolan up until everything went blank.

"Ah!" That was the voice I would always recognize even if it was in my deep sleep. It was Nolan's voice. My body hurt badly as I managed to sit up on the ground, and there he was, tied to a chair with his body bruised and some portion of his white cloth was already soaked in his blood. Waves of guilt spurred through me recalling that everything was my fault. He wouldn't have been through this shit if he didn't get involved with me in the first place.

    Chapter 59Celine Coleman POV"What are you doing here, Celine?" My heart sank into my stomach when I barged into the warehouse and found Bryant in such a horrible state, hugging Nolan to himself. His body was covered in bruises and blood, but Nolan seemed to be in a worse condition because he wasn't even moving."Bryant..." I covered my mouth and gasped as a drop of tears slid down my cheeks. How could his Father do this to him? How could a man be this wicked to the person he birthed? Those were the only questions I asked myself but now wasn't the time to ask questions but rescue them."You can't be here... You need to leave, OK? You are going to get yourself in trouble, I promise," He was right considering that they were all werewolves and I was only a human, but you weren't expecting me to let them both die here especially knowing that nobody would come to the aid, right? That was the last thing I would do.Ignoring him, I carefully counted my steps to where they were on the ground

    Chapter 60Bryant Reed POV"How is my friend, please?" I asked the doctor who had just walked into the ward where I was with Celine who was already unconscious."He is fine now, but still unconscious," I felt a little relief that Nolan would be fine."Thank you," I said to him and he nodded then went ahead to check out Celine. "She will wake up soon," he said to me after he finished examining Celine, and I had no idea if I should be excited, scared, or sad about it. I didn't know how I was going to face her after what happened back there earlier. I wanted to control my wolf even though those people were getting on my nerves, I didn't want to lose control, but seeing her in so much pain made me lose it and I ended up scaring her."You need to come with me so your legs can be tended to," The doctor said to me, but I shook my head."I'll be fine," I assured him. I had thought that my legs were broken earlier but the doctor confirmed that it wasn't broken but just numb although the bone

    Chapter 61"Ugh!" Alpha Kayla groaned angrily as he paced restlessly inside the large room, his blood boiling in rage. He had everything. Every damn thing he had worked for in the past had gone down the drain in just a second and there was nothing he could even do about it."I'm going to make them pay... They are going to pay for this betrayal," Slowly, he clenched his fingers and gritted his teeth as he glared into space. He slumped on the bed, then reached for his phone and scrolled through the bashing he was getting from the werewolf forum. 'How could he be so heartless? Who would've ever thought that he was the one that killed Princess Felicia''It's sad how he was able to play his game for years and didn't get caught. I wish he could rot in the pit of hell''Someone like Alpha Kayla doesn't deserve to be a family head let alone an Alpha. Sadly, nobody knew he was this disgusting''Nemesis caught up on him.

    Chapter 62Celine Coleman POVWe all came home from the hospital yesterday. I'm fully alright now because I never had any complications, but Bryant and Nolan were admitted at home and the doctor promised to come here daily to take care of their health. Ever since the incident about a week ago, things have never been the same. The image of what that wolf did to those men wouldn't stop popping in my head every damn time, and although I knew I wasn't supposed to be, I was scared. He only did that to protect himself and me, but that incident had given me a new perspective about him and even though I didn't like it, I couldn't help it. Over the last few days, denying that I'd been distanced from Bryant was the last thing I would do. A knock sounded on my door."It's me. Dinner is ready," Madam Leila's voice sounded from outside, and I sighed."I'll join you shortly," I heard her receding footsteps afterward and I presumed she must've walked away.I was finally able to get rid of my many

    Chapter 63Bryant paused when he wheeled himself into Nolan's room and found him on the balcony instead. Nolan was yet to recover from the pain but he was getting better, or much better now, rather. A smile laced up Bryant's face, grateful that his best friend made it out alive. Maybe he would've lived the rest of his life with the guilt if anything had happened to him.Nolan who was leaning against the rail and staring into space all this time turned and smiled when he saw Bryant."Are you sneaking up on me, huh?" He scoffed and rolled his eyes, turning to face Bryant."Maybe," Bryant finally himself into the balcony and went to stay beside Nolan."How are you feeling now?" He asked Nolan."Much better than yesterday," Nolan replied, and he nodded.Silence assumed the atmosphere as they both stared up at the beautiful stars in the sky. It was a cool yet an emotional moment for the two friends. "Thank you for everything, Nolan," Bryant broke the silence, and Nolan scoffed."I owe yo

    Chapter 64 Celine Coleman POV 'Let's get married, Bryant' A smile laced up my lips as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I didn't regret asking him to marry me because I really was in love with him. He was everything I ever wanted in a man and I would be damned if I allowed him to slip off my fingers just like that. Never! I could barely get enough sleep last night because I was busy thinking about him all through the night and I wished we slept together, but he had to pass the night with Nolan. I woke up quite early this morning and did my usual morning routine of brushing my teeth and other things, after which I left my room to go assist Madam Leila in the kitchen. According to Nolan, he didn't hire a maid here because it was meant to be a secret place and he couldn't risk letting anyone here, so apparently, Madam Leila will be the only one handling things here until further notice. Wait! Until all of this is over. The usual sweet aroma of Madam Leila's food welcomed me

You know Alpha Kayla must've had his men out there to look for us," Bryant held my hand and shook his head after I told him I needed to step out of the house briefly. "He is right, Celine. You can't wander around just like that," Nolan who was seated on Bryant's bed chipped in. I had walked in on them talking about something earlier. "It's really important and I need to go attend to it," I insisted. "Then I will have to come with you..." "No, you can't. I can handle it alone," I quickly cut him off but he scoffed. "I can't agree to that, Celine. You can't go out alone. That's like risking your life and that's the last thing I want. It's either I go with you or you stay back at home," Bryant said with finality in his voice but who said that I was going to listen to him? I needed to see Jake and maybe send him back. I can't possibly allow him to stay here, right? We were yet to s

Having Jake here was something I never wanted and now that he was here, I had no idea how I was going to handle everything. I had many questions I wanted to ask him."Jake..." I finally paused pacing and went to sit on the bed beside him."What are you doing here? How did you know where I am?" I asked him the questions I was curious and disturbed about. This wasn't the time to be asking him those questions, I was supposed to welcome him warmly knowing that we were just meeting for the first time in five years, but then, my curiosity wouldn't let me rest."I told you I graduated from high school...""I told you that I'll handle your college. How come you are here?" I cut him off impatiently and he rolled his eyes."I just came here, can you at least let me get some rest? You are acting weird and it's making me scared.

    Chapter 112EpilogueAs Celine sat on the edge of the bed, staring at a picture frame of her family which had her Mom, Claire, Jake, Bryant, and herself in it, she couldn't help but smile excitedly. This was the kind of family she had always prayed for. The kind of life she had always prayed to her maker for. Being with her family and getting married to a loving man. She couldn't be more than glad that her prayers were all answered.The bathroom door opened, and Bryant wheeled himself into the room. He had a white towel wrapped around his waist and his body dripping wet. He had just showered. He paused and smiled when he saw his beautiful wife seated on the bed."Is the baby kicking you?" He asked with a sweet smile on his face, and Celine looked from the picture to him."Not really... I'm just admiring us here... We look so good together," She looked at him and smiled."Right from the day I set my eyes on you, I knew we were going to look perfect together," He uttered as he wheeled h

Even though I wasn't so mad at her, I couldn't still bring myself to forgive and accept her back into my life. Not after everything we had passed through without her here. Jake met her also, but he wasn't ready to forgive her, just as I am. I spoke with Bryant about Jake over the week and he had forgiven him for everything he had done. I asked Jake to move in with us, but he said he had something to take care of before that, so I had to respect his decision."It's cold out here... You should go back inside," I heard Bryant's voice, and I turned to find him seated in his wheelchair. He was wearing pajamas, probably ready to go to bed. "Hmm... Just getting fresh air. Will go back inside soon," I replied to him, and he wheeled himself to me. "Babe..." He held my hand and squeezed it gently."I w

    Chapter 110Celine ColemanToo many thoughts paraded my mind as the cab I boarded drove down the road, heading to Claire's apartment. I knew something was wrong somewhere because she didn't sound fine, but I could only find out about it if I went to her house, yeah? As much as I wanted to stay calm, my curiosity was eating me up every damn second and I ended up being tensed.It felt like the drive was slow even though it wasn't. I was desperate to get home early and meet her Mom. I was desperate to see her and finally know who she was."Can you drive faster, please?" I urged the driver when he slowed down the cab."There is a heavy traffic jam ahead," He replied to me, and I couldn't help but feel frustrated. Not today, please."Calm down, Celine. She's not running away. You will meet her even if you go there late," My subconscious mind reminded me, but it was just difficult to listen.We ended up spending fifteen minutes in the traffic jam before we were able to get out of it.

    Chapter 109Celine Coleman POVIt was finally morning and the day Claire had told me her Mom would be back.The aroma coming from the kitchen welcomed me as I descended the staircase after I left my room. My mouth salivated and my stomach grumbled hungrily, so I left for the kitchen."You are awake? I didn't want to wake you up. Good morning. Did you sleep well?" She looked at me and smiled."Good morning. Yes, I did. What about you?" I pulled the refrigerator open and brought out a bottle of water."I did," She replied to me."What are you making?" I asked as I uncapped the bottle and drank some water from it."Breakfast. It's a surprise. Trust the process," She winked at me, and I smiled."So, have you called your mom yet? What time is she coming back?" I asked curiously after I put back the bottle inside the refrigerator."Are you so desperate to move out?" She asked sadly, but I shook my head."Far from that... I'm just concerned," I shrugged, leaning against the counter."I was j

    Chapter 108Celine Coleman POV"Are you feeling sick? Do you need to go to the hospital?" I asked Claire after I pulled the car over at the parking lot in her apartment, but she slowly shook her head. We were supposed to go for a walk after work, but she was so dull that we only did it briefly and she asked us to come home instead. She couldn't even drive, so I had to do it myself."I'm fine. I just need to get some rest, and I'll be fine then," She replied to me as she removed her seatbelt, pushed the door open, and stepped out of the car. I did the same and alighted from the car too.I watched as she dragged herself toward the entrance, and by the time I got to the living room after she walked inside, I found her already seated on the couch. She looked like she had worked her ass off all day and was going to die anytime soon."Do you need anything? Should I get you a glass of water?" I went to sit beside her on the couch and held her hand."No," She replied to me, and I briefly sigh

I don't know if I'll be able to' Those words replayed in my head for the umpteenth time as I sat behind my desk in my office. I have been trying to concentrate all day since I came to the office, but my head has been messed up and I haven't been able to think straight. A part of me was disappointed when he said that, but another part of me tried to understand him. "It's not something to be mad about, Celine. You can help him overcome it," I said to myself and breathed in and out before I resumed work.The office telephone started to ring and I picked it up."Hello! This is...""Come to my office, Ms. Celine," Claire said from the other end, and the call disconnected immediately.I dropped the phone, stood up, and proceeded to her office to hear her out."You asked to see me, ma'am," I said to her politely, and she rolled her eyes."I told you to drop the formality.

    Chapter 106Celine Coleman POVI rubbed my stomach gently, unable to hold back my smile as the cabby drove down the road. It was still hard to believe that I was pregnant. The thought of it made me feel like I was on top of the world. It just felt so good."We are here, ma'am," The cabby's voice pulled me back to reality, and that was when the realization dawned on me that he was already parked in front of Bryant's house."Thank you," I muttered as I pushed the car door open and stepped out of the car. I paid him and he zoomed off.As I stood in front of the house, I held my handbag tightly and bit my bottom lip. A part of me was eager to tell Bryant about the good news, but another part of me wanted me to wait. Bryant would ask me to move in immediately if he found out about the pregnancy now, and I still needed three days to do my confirmation before I leave Claire's house."Just three days... Just three days, and you'll tell him. You have to keep it for now," I said to myself and t

He is busy' One of the nurses had said to me earlier when I just arrived at the hospital, and here I was for the past thirty minutes, still waiting for the doctor. I was almost losing it, but I tried to understand the nature of their job and be patient. Maybe there were too many patients to attend to today.I touched my forehead for the umpteenth time and winced silently as waves of pain spurred through me. What could've caused this overnight? I asked myself, but there wasn't any answer I could provide for it, so I had to wait for the doctor.My phone started to ring, and Bryant's name was displayed on the screen. I swiped the answer button."Hey, babe," His calm, deep, yet soothing voice came through the phone, and I smiled."Hey,""I'm sorry I'm just calling you now. I woke up quite late. Did you sleep well?""It's fine, I understand. And yes, I slept well," I replied to him."Are you coming over today?" He asked."

I only asked a question," She clicked her tongue as she handed me a glass of water, and I drank from it."How did you know that?" I looked at her and asked, but her face beamed with smiles instead."Are you really seeing someone? Who is he? Is he cute? I like cute guys, so, is he cute?" She bombarded me with questions as she looked at me, desperate for answers."Ugh! You are so..." I paused and shook my head, not knowing what to say."Come on, tell me everything. Who is he?" She asked me, and I rolled my eyes. "He's just a random guy... Yeah, just someone I met some time ago," I replied to her, and she raised her eyebrows. I felt guilty for lying to her, but I couldn't just start telling her everything when I didn't even know what they were after, right?"Has it been long since you two have been together?"
