It had been more than 20 minutes since James had been tapping the tip of his pencil on a design paper he was working on. He should have completed the work yesterday, but it is only 20 percent now. Grey re-entered James' room to ask for a copy of the design James was working on. But Grey froze and frowned to see James pensively tapping the tip of his pencil against the paper.
"Sir..." James was still unaware. He's still daydreaming.
"SIR..." Grey called him louder, and James was startled. "Uh, what's wrong, Grey?" Grey frowned and sighed to see his reaction.
"I'm taking the design? The technicians asked for it!"
"What designs?" Grey scoffed now. "The one is in your hands, sir. Are you finished with it?" James looked confused, then looked down and darted at the paper he was working on but didn't finish.
"Oh, not yet." James took the paper and gave it to Grey. In contrast, James leaned his back against the back of the chair with his head slightly tilt
After fixing the suit he was ordered, a man walked out of an Italian-branded fashion house. He handed an electronic tablet to his right hand after looking for information about his missing son on his way to the car. The man's right hand named Fratti followed Gabriel Moretti, who had just come out of the car after shopping."So the little rascal is still alive?" Gabriel asked Fratti, who was sitting next to him."Starley's boy hasn't killed him yet," Fratti replied while grunting. Gabriel scoffed irritably and looked out of the car. He hated when someone declined his order."Aren't they baiting a girl to those that punk?""Yes, Starley's daughter. If her brother fails, she will kill him." Gabriel slightly nodded understandingly."I hate waiting… tell Ark to kill him ASAP. I can't expect Starley to kill Belgenza. Or he might be the one to come here and kill me!" said Gabriel giving orders. Fratty nodded in agreement."I told you long ag
The breeze caressed Delilah's blonde hair, which she tied in a plain black headband that matched the color of her dress. The same wind was also gently caressing James' brown hair, asserting him in front of Delilah."Why are you telling me all this?" Delilah asked in her soft, gentle voice."Because you don't know me. And said many bad things about me," James replied, still unable to take his eyes off her. Delilah took a deep sigh and let it out slowly. Her eyes began to dart down as there was a hint of guilt because of her attitude towards James recently.James took that glitch of regretting shadow on her gesture, and his eyes drifted to glance at Grey. He was standing some distance away from them. Grey lifted his lips corner to put a smirk. And James slightly replied it as the same sign of a good plan running smoothly. If anyone is more cunning than James Harristian, it's probably a sly fox. He began to understand how to touch Delilah's heart, and the girl has
James staggered as a bullet pierced through his shoulder. While slightly wrapping Delilah with his coat, James fired his gun with his injured arm. On the third shot, one of the attackers collapsed. If any people managed to come under his bullet, James could see them from the night's shadows. But James was outnumbered.Moreover, he was alone. His bodyguards and mafia members have left. And he is trapped alone with Delilah, whom he is trying to protect. James pulled Delilah along and hid her in his arms. It wasn't easy because Delilah couldn't see other than just running along with James. Unfortunately, Delilah slipped and dragged James along a gully until she tripped because of her shoes."AH!" James yelled in pain as he fell with Delilah on top of him. He gasped and groaned painfully. Delilah panicked with James's coat still covering her wholly. She tried to get rid of it, but James' hand was quicker to pull her into a gap among the deadwood. Before Delilah had time to
Delilah was slightly flustered but worried after James gently pulled her into his arms. James called her Dolce Caramella and made Delilah blush hard and nervous. She came closer because James forced her to lean slightly against his chest."Mr. J., I'd better sleep somewhere else," Delilah muttered, a bit clingy. She was trying to find another way out to get away from the blushing. James turned to Delilah, who got up from his arms."Where do you want to sleep? James asked gently. Delilah grinned with her reddening cheeks, which James couldn't notice due to the minimal lighting."I thought you were afraid of this forest," James added. "But the men who chased us are gone.""What I'm worried about is not them but the animals instead." Suddenly, Delilah heard a wolf howl from a distance. "That...""Wolf. The smell of blood will attract their attention," James whispered again, but he sounded normal. Delilah's eyes widened, and she looked closely
A Priest was walking inside his church when he was supposed to serve the congregation every day. The place where he does the service did not have a lot of people. Only a few people came to confess or pray because it was a small village. Today he planned to clean the altar of praying to make it more comfortable. But as soon as he opened the side door, his eyes widened to see a woman sitting while crying, holding a man. The man fainted in front of the altar."What happened?!" he rebuked, running and startled.Delilah heard someone approach her. She turned and raised her face to look at the Priest in front of her."Please, Father. Help us!" implored Delilah with her red face and crying pleadingly. The Priest then squatted down to see James, who was unconscious."He is still alive. Let's take him inside!" Delilah nodded quickly and helped to lift James' heavy tall body. Both the Priest and Delilah had difficulty lifting James. He then led James into a room ne
James began to open his eyes slowly. Dizziness made him unable to move quickly. Nevertheless, he slowly pushed to see where he was now. He only remembered that he was coming to a church with Delilah. James turned his head slightly. He saw Delilah sleeping beside him sitting with her head rested on her folded arms. James' smile rose slowly to see how Delilah cared for him faithfully.His unhurt hand then stroked Delilah's hair gently. Delilah felt that someone was holding her head, and soon, she raised her head."Mr. J," murmured Delilah, slightly getting up from her place to check on him. James kept staring at Delilah with his pale expression."Thank God your fever has gone, Mr. J. How are you feeling?" Delilah asked with a trace of anxiety. James smiled softly and nodded."Never been better. What happened?" James asked in a shallow tone."A kind Priest helped us. He also took care of your shoulder. But last night, you had a fever. That's why I put
On a beautiful morning in an unknown village, Delilah wakes up with fresh energy. All night, she was in the warm arms of James Harristian. James also gave her long, soothing kisses that devoured her heart. Before, Delilah's heart was initially hard against James.Moreover, it was now starting to melt. She believed that Oliver said that Daga Nero's leader did love her. After gently releasing James's embrace on her, Delilah tried to sit on the narrow bed where they slept. But James hand-pulled Delilah back, so she lay on his side again."Where are you going? James half-whispered in a heavy, husky voice as he woke up. Delilah instantly blushed when she saw James, who slowly opened his eyes and stared at her. "I want to take a shower," Delilah answered almost in a whisper and stuttered. Her eyes lowered, and she could not dare to see James, as if she were too shy to remember what happened last night."Then why are your cheeks red? Do you have a fever? James innocent
"Mr. J!" Delilah called for James. She was looking at him around the house but found him chopping wood with an ax with one hand behind the house. Somehow James did it, although his other was strapped on his shoulder. In the meantime, James had to chop some firewood for the fireplace, and Delilah was stunned to see him.Panting, James turned to see Delilah. She was standing at the side door calling him. James then threw the ax up and caught the handle precisely with the same hand. He did so while walking towards Delilah. Delilah swallowed her saliva with some strange goosebumps on her neck. She slightly witnesses how skillful James is to catch the ax's grip in one hand as if the magic show."Are you home?" asked James coldly. Delilah dumbfoundedly nodded. She was still clutching the shoebox for James. James glanced left and right before tugging Delilah's arm to get inside the room."What happened? Did he say something?" James asked in a half-whisper after they ha
Delilah had severe contractions within an hour of being taken to the hospital. James had no time to change his pajamas, which didn't match his top. But never mind; James doesn't care about his appearance anymore. He often appears to no longer match his attire. There was one time when he actually wore sandals to the lobby and prepared to get into the car to go to the office. Luckily, none of the employees dared to laugh at him at all.This time, he will officially become a father. Grey, who was also in alert mode, was forced to jump out of bed in the early hours of the morning because Delilah's water broke. Lenora didn't want to come because she was still sleepy, so she let Grey go.Now in the treatment room and waiting for the perfect opening, Delilah hugged James while standing with Grey, who also stood up, stroking Delilah's back."AHHH!" Delilah screamed in pain when the contraction occurred again. James could only continue to hug and calm his wife, but in fa
The trip to Los Angeles takes less than two hours from New York. Initially, they all went to the hospital to visit Aidan. The hospital was full of Aidan Caesar's family. In the end, only a few people were allowed into Malikha's treatment room.James and Bryan chose to wait outside for a while until Arjoona, Jayden, Mars, and Shawn came back in after seeing Aidan's condition."How is she?" James asked a little impatiently."Still under treatment. I think the baby will be born soon; Aidan will be staying with her," answered Joona, and James nodded in understanding."Let's just wait!"Outside, Jayden then asked Erikson and Grey to take all the children of The Seven Wolves, along with their nanny, to the booked hotel. Meanwhile, the parents will wait in the family waiting room. They rented a luxury hotel for all the family members who would stay with Aidan."Uncle Grey, where are we going?" Rei asked Grey, who accompanied him, to escort the chil
James occasionally glanced at Delilah and Shawn, who were just sitting and watching the campfire in front of him."Why isn't this over? It's been almost two years since we killed Kanishka. Why isn't he dead yet?" said Aidan, still adamant. Jayden, who heard the whispers, then approached."Kanishka is dead. But his son is not," Jayden said to Aidan. Aidan let out an annoyed breath. He looked at Shawn, who continued to stare at his wife and then occasionally looked down."Does he know?" Arjoona nodded."He's the first to confirm this," Joona answered, turning to Shawn and then to Jayden."So Kiran has a brother?""Exactly. It's a sibling who hates her so much. Kiran is the unlawful daughter of Kanishka's mistress, while Rohan is Kanishka's son from his legal wife," Jayden added."His name is Rohan." Jayden nodded."He's MIT's best graduate. genius; his IQ is equal to or more than Joona. He's more dangerous than Mars and the creat
"READY... FIRE!" military salute gunshots at Lieutenant Blue Handerson's funeral. Troops under the command of former Admiral Shawn Miller, Blue's superior during his time in the United States Navy, paid their final respects.All members of The Seven Wolves took part in the funeral ceremony and stood with their mates, except Jayden and Aidan.For James, who still had injuries on his busting face, he could only put one arm around Delilah. He and all members of The Seven Wolves have agreed to no longer be involved in any ambushes.The police have destroyed all of The Seven Wolves' recorded activities and secrets. At least for now, they may feel safe.After the funeral, the Seven Wolves threw a brunch for all the mourners. Grey Hunter appears to be sitting alone. His eyes were still looking at James and Delilah, who were sitting with Mars and Vanylla, still chatting with each other.It was seen that James didn't let go of his hug at all to Delilah. Occ
Aidan gave Grey a code to move to chase the group of gangsters who were about to escape through the underground tunnel. He half-ran, panting, then pressed himself against the damp tunnel wall.His eyes then peeked out from behind the wall and saw a large container truck in the middle of the tunnel mouth. He turned around and whispered to Aidan, who was also pressing his back against the tunnel wall."They're going to escape. We've reached the end of the tunnel!" Grey whispered, and Aidan nodded. He turned and ran back to his group. Shawn's bleeding had stopped, but he was still half-supported by Juan leaning against the wall."They're going to run away. There's a container in the way," said Aidan, breathlessly giving a report to Shawn. Shawn nodded in understanding and called the rest of the team over."We will attack. They cannot escape!" said Shawn, giving his order. Soon, Grey came back and joined."It's bad; they're taking hostages. There's a w
All members of The Seven Wolves have changed clothes and put on all their equipment. They will be disguised in all-black SWAT police attire with helmets. Of the 16 people, the Seven Wolves have four main snipers: Aidan, Shawn, Blake, and Erikkson. The three reserve shooters are Mars, Grey, and Bryan. The five sharp weapons and martial arts specialists are Jayden, Han, Glenn, Blue, and Juan. The strategy and tactics specialists are Arya, Caleb, and James, while Arjoona will lead and guide the entire team."Everyone gather; I will divide our team!" Arjoona was ordered to come forward in front of all the members."We will ambush from four different directions, and one of the SWAT members will be there to help each group as a guide. We will all work together. Our main goal is to free the hostages, as the police will divert attention so we can get in.""The first group is Shawn, Jayden, Grey, and Arya; you will enter through the eastern water tunnel near the Bronson,
James' kiss on Delilah's cheek made her slowly open her eyes while sleeping. One of James' hands then reached forward and caressed Delilah's belly bump. Since 23 weeks of pregnancy, Delilah has been sleeping on her side more often.Delilah turned around slowly, and James' sweet smile greeted Delilah's nap."Are you home?" Delilah asked in a soft voice with a smile on her lips. James just smiled, and his other hand stroked Daelilah's hair. He hadn't even taken off his jacket at all."How's my candy today?" James replied in a gentle tone too. His lips then kissed the tip of Delilah's nose, and he smiled again."I get sleepy quickly," replied Delilah, then chuckled slightly and joined in stroking James' arm."You'd better change your clothes first; they'll get wrinkled," Delilah scolded, but James ignored her and got closer. He started kissing Delilah's cheek and neck. Delilah giggled when she found her husband's consistently spoiled behavior.
Grey Hunter had just finished his work and came home a little tired. His and Lenora's relationship has indeed returned to normal, although it is no longer as passionate as before. Lenora seemed to keep her distance from Grey. He didn't want to be hurt again and chose not to pay too much attention to Grey. It seemed like she was afraid of falling too deeply in love with him.After standing for a few seconds with sleepy eyes in front of the elevator, Grey turned to the left and saw Delilah coming out of the elevator with Blaze together. It looked like she was going out of the Ritz with her dog for a walk.Grey's instinct to pay attention to Delilah wasn't working well. He actually followed back and called her name."Miss Delilah!" Delilah suddenly turned and smiled."Hi, Grey!" Delilah waved at Grey, who was walking quickly towards her."Hi, Miss, Where are you going?" Grey asked as he stood in front of Delilah and smiled at her."I just want
The longer Delilah's pregnancy lasts, the more beautiful and sexy she looks. And James increasingly couldn't be distant from his wife. Starting in the second month of Delilah's pregnancy, James took his wife everywhere. Despite the doctor's long-standing advice to avoid traveling long distances by plane or land, James instead brought in a special obstetrician for Delilah so she could calm down. And when they were alone, James never stopped touching Delilah.Although Delilah's pregnancy hormones were significantly higher than they had been the previous month, her personal doctor once again forbade James from engaging in excessive sexual activity."You could hurt her; the semen in your sperm could cause her to miscarry!" said Delilah's personal doctor, warning James for the umpteenth time. James snorted in annoyance and was already half-sulking."Is there no other way?" James grumbled with a sullen face."You can just find another doctor. I really can't sta
