ShannonMy heart sank, I didn't know who bumped into us, but I knew it meant trouble. There was no way this was only an accident.Vernon felt the same way because he looked back with a worried expression, I looked back as well, and I reminded him to keep an eye on the road.It was a SUV, bumping har
ShannonBefore I had time to get more out of Beta Wyatt, something unexpected happened. The car behind us, the one that Vernon was on, overtook and was driving in front of us, just like how they forced us to stop.Although the two people in the car were still confused, I knew that meant it was very
VernonWhen she got into the car, I looked at her again. She was so strong and so brave. I never thought I could have someone that could fight alongside me before. Just like my mother fought for my father...Maybe it was because I always saw all the Alphas were having trophy wives. They were pretty
ShannonI knew I shouldn't tell Vernon that Jayde was my fated mate. I didn't know how he would react, so I delayed it. Now that I knew how he would react, I didn't like it. The silence in the car was suffocating. I didn't know how I expected him to react. I just... Didn't expect him to say he loved
ShannonAfter some drifting, we lost them temporarily. When we couldn't see them in the rearview mirror. We stopped the car in front of a wooded area."We should hide here, you get down now and find a spot. I will move the car a bit further, and then I will come here and join you."I nodded got out
ShannonWhen I came to, I was in a room. I moved but nothing came of it, but there was someone beside me. I looked up to see a little girl beside me. She seemed to be sleeping, but my movement woke. She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and then looked at me with surprise. She looked no more than 7 years old
ShannonWe finished the meal in silence. Every time I wanted to ask her something or say something to her I was reminded of the fact that she couldn't speak. But I still wonder, what was she doing here, where were her parents, how could they leave her here like this.After we finished all the food,
ShannonI heard someone talking when I was in the realm of dreams. I guessed they must have drugged me again somehow because this sleep didn't feel real, it felt artificial.I was hearing noises as they thought I was still asleep. Yes, they must have drugged me. Or they wouldn't just talk in front o
ShannonSince the game room was more like an individual room in the middle of the yard, we were actually standing in the open.The first thing I noticed was a huge shadow flying over us, it was just a dark cloud was suddenly roaming over us. The second thing I noticed was the voice, it was chirping,
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
