Lucian's POV~“What's that?” I asked as I watched him walk past again. “A rock, sir” he answered, looking at me with confusion written all over his face.“Of course I know it's a rock, you dimwit. I mean what do you plan to use it for?” I said, smacking my forehead with my palm in frustration. “Oh. It's for the tile, sir” he said and then poised himself for what looked like him trying to play dodgeball with ants. “Please take a few steps back.” He said. At first I stared at him with my brows raised in confusion. I didn't know what he was planning, but I moved back regardless. Even if his hunch was false, I still couldn't take any chances. “What do you think you're doing?” I asked, still curious to know what exactly he thought he was doing. “Disarming the temple, sir. We're gonna place this rock on the tile and see which trap goes off first” he said. I didn't even know how to respond, but then again what did I know about all this anyway?“And what makes you think there are any tra
In a certain bar at night, Serena can be seen drinking some beer. She's clearly lost in thought and looks a bit tipsy. Just then someone walks over to her table. Who is it?Serena's POV~How did it all go so wrong so fast? Who were those guys? Especially the one the suit…And how the hell did he find me? What did he mean that he Hazel's brother? Hazel never even had a brother….at least, I don't remember her ever having one. “Could Noah be behind all that?” I pondered, staring into the distance in thought. It didn't seem likely. I knew the scent of both Noah's and Drake's packs; that dude’s scent wasn't anything to close to the both of ‘em. It definitely wasn't Noah's idea and it certainly wasn't Liam's idea. Liam would never use another person to get at me - if he even had any idea that I was still alive. I couldn't wrap my head around the whole thing and just continued sipping my beer. While I kept taking more sips, I heard footsteps approaching my table.Clip! Clop! Clip! Cl
Back at the Jade goddess temple……Lucian's POV~“I don't know, Max. Don't you think this place could suddenly spit out another round of flames?” I asked as we walked through the dark hallway. Max, whose flashlight was still on, was searching for clues down on the floor and on the walls. All I could see was a bunch of gibberish hieroglyphics. It was weird how the writings on the wall sorta looked like all writings from all languages at the same time. From one angle, it almost looked Egyptian and from another angle, it looked sorta like ancient Neanderthal paintings. “For the last time sir and for the love of God, it's not spitting any more flames.” He said, “We've already defused it”“Says who? How can you be so sure?” I asked, and for good reason too. “Who's to say that the builders couldn't have chosen to play a trick on us and just set the trap twice?” I asked. “Well, you do have a point, but if you were that thoughtful at the beginning, perhaps we wouldn't even be here in the fi
The next day, Hazel can be seen sitting up on her bed in her room. She looks like she's lost in thoughts. But why? Could something be bothering her?Hazel's POV~“Why do I feel so uneasy?” I muttered in deep thought as I looked around the room, my eyes staring but not really looking at anything. Something felt odd but I didn't know what. While I was trying to process my thoughts, I heard a knock on the door. “Who is it?” I asked, turning my head to the side. The door handle twisted and it opened slightly to reveal Naya's head popping out like a child playing pop-goes-the-weasel. “Hey” she greeted with a smile as she walked in, “Someone's up early” she said. I smiled in response, watching as she walked up to the bed and took a seat. I didn't really want to talk - or did I? I couldn't even tell. Something was just off and I couldn't really point out what it was. “Well I could barely get some sleep” I responded. “Really? Are you alright?” She asked. “Yeah, I'm fine….I thin
A black sedan pulls up right in front of Noah's villa premises. In it, Naya and Hazel can be seen seated. They are having a conversation about whether or not to go in…..Naya’s POV~“You ready?” I asked as I took a glance at her. She looked rather nervous but yet she looked excited…. almost like a child. “I don't really know. Do I look okay?” She asked, as she checked her hair in the mirror. For some reason, I smiled. She was so cute the way she tried to look her best. “You look fine” I said, “I'm sure your kids are dying to see you. You'll always look great to them no matter what you wear” “Are you sure?” She asked. “I'm positive” I reassured her. She took a deep breath and finally agreed. “Alright then. Let's go inside” she said, “I'm ready now”.“That's the spirit”, I responded, staring at the determination on her face. It was funny how she was so excited to see the same people she has been seeing for years. We got out of the car and walked over to the gates. Ding! Dong!
In a black helicopter, Lucian and Max along with the pilot can be seen approaching Lucian's Mansion. They've gotten the chest finally and are on their way home to check it out…..Lucian’s POV~We had finally gotten the damn chest and were on our way home. I was excited to open it but Max stopped me…and for good reason too. We didn't have a freaking idea what was inside this thing. And we sure as hell didn't want to blow ourselves up in the helicopter. “It’s so heavy. I wonder what's in it.” I muttered. “We'll find out when we get home.” Max responded, “But what even led you to go get it by the way?” he asked. I paused to think for a moment. Up till now, I didn't really have any real reason for taking such a perilous trip; just a gut feeling. “I honestly don't even know. It's just this strong hunch inside me.” I said, “Almost like my wolf is forcing me to go get it.” I said. Max thought about it for a while. “Could it be your dad or other predecessors trying to tell you some
A couple of months have passed and Serena is still at large. Noah's pack and Lucian's pack have come together to talk to Drake's pack. They hope to deescalate the situation and bring unity and peace between both packs. Hazel is much better now and her condition is now stable. Everything seems to be looking up in their favor…..Hazel's POV~“But mommy, where are you going?” Kaiser asked, tugging on my gown. Kyle was busy with her dolls and teddy bears in her imaginary tea party. “I'll be back soon. Your dad and I are going somewhere” I explained just before Noah walked up to us and squatted in front of Kaiser. “Hey buddy. You're a man, aren't you?” He asked, to which Kaiser nodded rather silkily. “And is a man supposed to stress his mom?” He asked. Kaiser shook his head in disapproval. “Good. Mommy and I will be back soon, okay?”“Hmph, fine. Will uncle Lucian visit us today?” He asked.“Of course, buddy. You know we haven't finished our game yet. I still owe you one beat down”
Noah smiled at me, his smile so beautiful. It was just like I have always Imagined, only that his smile didn't just warm my heart, it tipped me down there. Five years of admiring and crushing on him secretly and today, he finally realised my existence. Not only that, he was in my room, giving me that killer smile. I couldn't control my feelings anymore seeing that I have kept them bottled up all this time.Why was he in my room? I didn't have the slightest idea but that didn't matter. He was here with me, that was everything to me. I didn't even dare to ask because I feared that that would drive him away.I gave him my best smile and walked towards him.Noah took unhurried steps towards me, stopping just about a few inches before me. He then took my hand, placed a gentle kiss on it. I felt tingly all through my body and my eyes felt teary with emotions. It's finally happening, each of my fantasies. Noah had kissed me. This was like a dream come true.I smiled at him and he bent h

Lucian and Max have emerged the the hallway and have gotten into a rather large chamber. It's a round hall surrounded by multiple evenly spaced huge doors all around. At the center of the hall is something like a treasure chest positioned on a little altar-like stand. What is that?Lucian's POV~*Cough! Cough!* “Shit, it's dusty in here” I complained as I covered my nose and mouth with my elbow. Max and I had finally made it out of the long ass, web-filled hallway and we were now in the temple. “You don't say” Max responded with a hint of sarcasm as he emerged from the hallway after me. “I do say, actually. The webs here are crazy” I exclaimed as I tried to get the ones in front of me off. “Well I don't think they are anywhere as crazy as whatever inspired you to drag us here” he said. Bro was just unnecessarily spiteful at this point, because why else was he keep trying to make me feel guilty? “Save it, Max” I cut him off, “I brought us here and that's that. Now let's go
Naya had just ended the call with her boss, Lucian. Judging from how he responded, he certainly wasn't going to be home early so she had to take care of his sister Hazel till he gets back. Naya’s POV~“Well, that's a shame” I thought aloud as I dropped the phone. What in the world was gonna take him so long? Well there was no need to question him now, was there? He was too adamant to even heed anyone's correction to begin with so it was pointless. Though judging from how much he adored his sister, it would take something pretty serious to delay him that long from seeing her. Putting down the phone, I strutted back to Hazel's room. She should have been done with eating by now. I hurried back to her room only to see her getting dressed. She was standing right in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the flowery gown she was wearing. “Wow, someone looks sexy today” I flattered her as I walked in. She turned back in surprise.“Oh, it's you” she chuckled as she looked back at
