Aleric Dolce POV. Zoom!We sped off the starting line and zoomed into the dark tunnel in a flash while everyone was cheering with full excitement. We both got into the tunnel at the same time because the tunnel was big enough to contain the both of us. I couldn't be on the same speed lane with a coward. I had to power up my bike so it will be faster than it already was and I gripped the right hand of my throttle hard, twisting it towards my body and like the speed of lightening, my wolf bike's power accelerated with a loud ZOOM on the pavement in the tunnel, the engines roaring as I kept twisting the bike and it left a cloud of smoke behind that blurred Ace's vision."Bastard!" I heard him let out a cuss as he a coughed behind me although he tried very hard not to let a single sound out.A small victorious smirk tugged on the corner of my lips knowing that I had gotten past step one of this race. I zoomed off further, steadying my feets on the footrests of my motorcycle as we went
Sapphire's POV. It's been two hours since Ace left us here in this scary room that stinked so bad, under the watchful gaze of his two bodyguards.Lisa was still unconscious and I was the only one awake but I didn't give up because I needed to get away from here with Lisa. I kept twisting my wrist, trying to free myself from the rope that tied the both of my wrists to the armrest of the chair.I was also scanning the room for something helpful. Something that could help me cut the rope and an object that I could use as a means of self defense against those bulky black men after I manage to free myself but there wasn't anything here, not to talk of something helpful or close to being useful. I grew tired and finally gave up for a minute, feeling drained as I couldn't do anything to help us out of this mess that I caused us.If only I had listened to Lisa and didn't go for Rosalie's birthday party in the starlight club then we would have been at home having a karaoke night, working on
Sapphire's POV."Calm, Sapphire. It's me." I slowly raised my gaze to the familiar voice and saw that it was..."Matteo?!" I gasped In total disbelief. 'H-how did he manage to get in and also fired those bullets without making a sound?' I pondered, eyes wide open and breathing heavily.Matteo's turned to Lisa, his gaze on her bruised and battered body and for a moment, I saw the storm of rage, fury and anger flash before his Jade black eyes as his lips pressed into a thin and he clenched hard on his jaw.He didn't say a word but the pain in his eyes at sight of Lisa's vulnerable state was visible like an opened notebook. Without looking, Matteo raised his arm with the gun in his fingers and fired a few more bullets that rendered the bulky men bodies useless with more blood spreading on the ground. I felt traumatized by the cold blood bath I had seen happening right before my eyes but it was clear that he did it to let out the pain he felt in his chest, to lash out on the idiots who
Sapphire's POV "What the heck were you doing to me? What happened just now? What am I doing here? Where did you take me to ? Why did you bring me here, Matteo?!" Lisa snapped and I launched to give her a tight hug, wrapping my arms around her as I sobbed."l-lisa, you're awake. You are fine now. I missed you so much, Lisa," I cried, hugging and cuddling her and I felt her body soften in my arms unlike how tensed and conscious it was when she had just woken up."Sapphire?" She whispered and I nodded, tears flowing down my cheeks to finally see my friend awake."Yes, yes it's me, Lisa." I whispered, and slowly parted from her. "Matteo didn't do anything. He saved us, Lisa. He saved us." "We were kidnapped in the Starlight club and I think something happened that got us unconscious. When I woke up, I was surrounded by this bad guys and their boss. You were later brought in and my heart ached so bad to see that you were badly injured and I couldn't help wondering what they had done to
Sapphire Walter POV "Mom, are you almost done? Dad and I have been waiting for over ten minutes! Please hurry!" I called out, excitement bubbling in my stomach."I'm on my way, honey! Just grabbing my purse," she replied from upstairs, her voice carrying down to us.I could hear my dad chuckle from the driver's seat, shaking his head with a smile. "Your mom hasn’t changed at all, Sapphire. Always takes her time, but she’s just as beautiful as the first day I met her."I giggled, my cheeks warming at his words. My dad has always adored my mom, showering her with compliments that never fail to make me smile.Sometimes, I dream of finding a love like that—someone who cherishes me the way my dad cherishes my mom. A love that lasts forever, a ride-or-die kind of love.But I remind myself that I’m just a teenager who recently graduated high school and will be starting college soon. Romance can wait; I have to focus on making my parents proud. Although I craved romance like every other te
Sapphire Walter POV. Two Days Later.****"I'm so sorry for your loss, Miss Walters," A middle-aged man who introduced himself as a lawyer from the Bank gave his condolences to me as we sat in the center of my Dad's grand mansion. It's been two days since my parent's funeral, but the tears refused to dry off. I miss them; I miss my parents' love, their playful banter, and their laughter, which always lighted up the house. I miss them so much that living alone in such a huge house was an emotional torment to me. I wiped my tears with my palm, forcing a small smile to avoid seeming rude. "It’s fine, Sir," I managed to say, my voice hoarse from crying for the past two days. "Why are you here though?" I asked, puzzled to know why a bank lawyer was there."I’m afraid I have some difficult news which you might find hard to accept," he replied, his tone serious. "But I hope you have somewhere or at least someone you could stay with.""What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine living here on
Aleric Dolce POV.Speeding down the pavement of the campus, the hum of my bike was powerful beneath my thighs, its vibrating sound sending a surge of adrenalin through my veins as I raced onto campus. Instantly, an unusual sweet scent filled my nostrils, making a hard gulp run down my throat and my golden eyes glowed due to how inviting it smelt. I could feel my wolf getting excited, his reaction to the smell was more like a warning, a feeling that he would lose it if I didn't find the source of that sweet, addicting scent and claim her soon enough.I activated my senses, riding my bike faster as I sped onto campus, my mind completely forgetting that I was racing with my gangs previously as my only focus was on finding her. My Mate. Scanning the crowd of girls who were jumping at the sight of my biker gang zooming into campus; I didn't give a damn about the college girls like I did before cause what mattered most to me was to find her, and I was sure that she was present on campus.
Sapphire's POV. I got up from my desk, packed up my books, and was ready to make my way out of the classroom cause lectures were over when I suddenly heard a small voice chiming before my desk. "Hey, girl!" My gaze shot up in surprise cause no one had uttered a word to me throughout today; their gaze filled with loath and disgust, which made me silently wonder why they gave me such a disapproving look. The voice turned out to belong to the blonde girl who had been taken for granted earlier today by the Biker Devil. Yes, I nicknamed Aleric Dolce as the biker devil cause that was exactly who he was! "Hey, girl," I smiled blissfully, happy to find someone interested in speaking to me. "I hope you were not badly hurt earlier," I asked in concern while admiring her flawless skin, brown orbs, and shiny blonde hair. "Nah, it's fine," She waved it off with a bright smile. "Aleric seemed to have woken up on the wrong side of his bed cause on norms, he would usually have fun with

Aleric Dolce POV "Pray to your God that I don't find a single injury on their skin after this race, Ace Rocco, cause if I do, this underground wouldn't contain the both of us, I swear." He laughed, acting unmoved by my threats "Well well then, Let The Race Begin!" He announced and Suddenly loud beating drums rang out as the huge gate that was opposite where we were standing began opening with a creaking sound.Our gaze darted to the gate and there, we saw two handsome motorcycles. The motorcycle on the left had the designs of a cheetah and I believe it belonged to Ace while the one on the right had a dripping blood design on motorcycle's body and I also guesses that it might be the bike he kept for me but I didn't like either of them. No motorcycle could ever beat my Wolf Bike. He was the best out of a million bikes. Plus I couldn't trust Ace. He might have tampered with the engines of the motorcycle or given me a low powered bike that wouldn't give me the boost that my wolf bike
Aleric Dolce POV. The walk ahead looked more dusty than I last remembered, the cracks on the bricked wall had increased as the three hefty men before us deeper into the underground. The place reeked of a strong smell I quite recognized.Drugs and cocaines that was.Ace Rocco and his gangs takes a lot of quantity of it to energize themselves before any racing competition and most times the drugs and cocaine they usually consumed always affects their systems in way that they become excessively happy and wouldn't realize the dangers they were putting themselves in while racing.It was midnight currently and I was yet to see my bumblebee. Rosalie might think she escaped my wrath after putting Sapphire's life on danger but she has seen nothing close to what I was capable of. Jail? Expelling? That's too little punishments for a wretched bitch like her. She needed more than those two because her wicked soul knew no bounds. When we arrived in the underground, all form of lights seized but
Sapphire's POV.The smile on his face slowly turned sour and deadly as he spoke. "Your eyes. Amber eyes. They are pretty rare," he remarked. "He must be insanely into you that he had to claw my brothers dead without second thoughts." He yanked my head backwards so hard that it had my throat bulging out through my neck."Ahhh!" I whimpered, struggling to bear the pain as I twisted my wrist to break free from the rope. "Stop, please. I don't know what you're talking about," I shuddered, wanting to swallow the lump in my throat but the position I was in wasn't helping at all."Argh!" A hard slap ran across my face once I was done speaking that it threw my face to the side by the force, the sound reverberating in the room as a metallic taste formed in my mouth and I spat my blood out, tears prickling around my eyes as I sobbed.He dragged a hand full of my hear again as he scowled, "Don't you dare lie to my face again, bitch! You know very well. You are very much aware of what happened th
Sapphire's POV. "Ahh!" I gasped, my eyes flashed open in utter shock when whole I felt my whole body freezing due to the cold liquid water that was splashed on me, drenching my body from my head to my toe. The whole place was filled with total darkness that my heart began accelerating, pounding hard against my ribs, a gush of anxiety and fear kicking in. "What am I doing here? Where am I? What is this place?" My lips trembled as I whispered, feeling goosebumps forming on my skin from the cold and fear that crept into my soul. The place I was in reeked of an hazardous smell similar to drugs. The smell didn't settle well in my stomach and I had the urge to puke or leave the environment to somewhere that had fresh air to take a breather. The last thing I could recall was dancing in the club with Lisa on the dance floor when some random dude walked up to us and was checking us out for a nightstand. We assumed it was a normal thing there since it was a clubhouse that we were in for R
Aleric Dolce POV."Where is Sapphire, Rosalie Yates?" I snarled, my voice icy and menacing. I knew she did something. She has a hand in their disappearance.Antonio intervened, strolling up to us with an air of nonchalance, his hands tucked into his pockets. "Do the calms, Aleric Dolce, and let off my girlfriends arms." A knowing smile was on his face. "You're hurting the birthday girl and might end up breaking a arm or two if you don't stop now. Is that what you want? Is that the birthday gift you plan on giving your childhood friend?" He asked, a low chuckle rumbling in his throat. I didn't hesitate. I tossed Rosalie into Matteo's arms and unleashed a powerful punch, connecting with Antonio's mouth. He flew through the crowd, crashing into tables until he hit the wall with a loud thud and fell limp to the ground, groaning in aching pains. The clubhouse erupted into gasps and screams, the girls scurrying away from the scene while some guys stood around to watch. Walking up to hi
