Chapter 52Shannon"Terry? What are you doing here?" I couldn't help but ask when the three men left, and now I was alone with him in the room.But I already knew the answer. He must played a hand in this. I should have known. He was one to harbored bitter resentment. From what I know, he lost a lot
Chapter 53ShannonI raised my hand to stop him immediately, I couldn't care less about how much he had to go through to see me. Did he really think I would fall for that after the conversation I had with Terry?Then he saw the bruises on my forearm, and he frowned. I struggled when his men were bri
Chapter 54Mabel"Adonis, can we talk?" I tapped on his shoulder to get his attention on me.It had been days since I talked to him, whenever I tried to talk to him in private, he always made up some excuse to brush me off, something like he was busy or he didn't want anyone to see us. At first, I d
MelvinGoddess knew how long I had been waiting for this day. All my life everyone praised how much of a good Alpha my brother was. No one saw me, not even Father did. He always thought of me as a replacement for my perfect brother, settling for a lesser me when Vernon wasn't around.I would only be
Melvin"Who are you helping? Vernon?" I asked while raising a brow."That's none of your business!" She told me so fiercely, she looked like a little kitten provoked."Okay, maybe that's not my business, but if you are helping him, you are going against me now." I reminded her."But why? He is your
MelvinI wasn't one to ear dropped on others, but they were talking about something I should know, so it was okay to just listen in, right?But as I stood at the door ready to listen to what they had to say, the next moment the door was opened from the inside."You already have your fated mate, it's
Shannon"He didn't tell you, did he?""What?"This came out of nowhere. I had been held captive in this room for two days. Jayde and Terry took turns to visit me here, but I didn't care about them in the slightest. They were busy trying to get a lead in this pissing contest. Terry would bring me sna
VernonI woke up feeling pain all over. The rope was biting into my wrist. Damn, this wolfbane was so strong.There was no window in this cell, but judging from the meal the servant brought me, it had been a few days since they took Shannon away. I hadn't told her about my feelings yet, she was so i
Chapter 115Shannon"I know. But how are you going to do that? If you don't have the secret weapon, you will need all the help you could use."He seemed to be considering what I just said."Yes, but I really don't want to risk you, and that little girl. If you are not going to Arthur's, where do you
Shannon"What do you mean it will need a lot of my blood?""You said it yourself, you need one drop of your blood to light up the rock. But the treasure land is a land. You will need to spill all your blood and maybe some more to get the treasure to unlock. Are you okay with this?"I didn't know. I
VernonI knew my decision not to tell her that my father was the one who made her an orphan would come and bite me in the ass later.But I never expected that the truth would be slapped on her face like this. By a strange guy who was allegedly supposed to be her husband.All I noticed was that I saw
ShannonI said okay because I already saw Adonis standing behind him. Adonis was a little taller than Jayde. I pretended to pick up Isabella and walked over, but no more than two steps, I saw Adonis put him into a headlock.Hugo pushed back and Adonis dropped the knife. I set Isabella down and immed
ShannonBefore I could ask out loud, Vernon was the first to speak."What do you mean gone?""I wanted to check on him after I woke up, and when we walked to the closet, he was already gone..."Fuck, we underestimated him. I remembered we checked on him last night, and that meant at some point last
ShannonI couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned until the midnight blue turned white again. I couldn't stop looking at Isabella who was sleeping peacefully beside me. I knew it was creepy, but I couldn't help but look at her features. And I replied to what Hugo said in my mind.She was my cousin, she
Shannon"What?"I never expected to hear Vernon's name in my family matter..."Didn't he tell you? I expected him not to. Since he brought you here, he knew that you were the heir of the guardian family. In fact, he was the one who told you, right?"I nodded even without thinking. The past 10 minute
ShannonI slowly pushed the door open, making as little sound as possible. Luckily I already checked the door when we were picking rooms. I picked this room because I didn't have to go around any room in case I bumped into Vernon on my way out.I didn't even put on my shoes for this. I supposed ther
Shannon"What do you mean?"Vernon and I asked at the same time. And then we turned to look at each other and shared a look.But that didn't escape Hugo, because he just smiled and shook his head."Oh, nothing. I remember someone from my childhood."This concerned me even more, because Vernon said t
