Sorry, this came in late, but I had to ensure it was readable. I wanted to release three chapters, but I am still working on the third. I did not want to keep you all waiting. We are rounding up to the main Showdown. I love showdowns, LOL. Thank you for the comments and the gems, and the reviews. You all are the reason this book is getting finished so quickly. The energy and support are fantastic. I can't thank you all enough.
Luke. I sat on the chair and did not know what to do, but I had a wife to go home to, and I promised I would return no matter what. I could not let these people kill my teammates. Their lives were meaningful, and I wasn't going to sit and let a pimp waste them. The silver binds had sealed our fate.
"Miles sent whimps to do a man's job," he said, laughing, and I knew the bastard could not be trusted. "I am feeling generous. You get to choose one out of the three of them. That way, all of you don't die, and we have a body to show Mr Luis." he said, and I pretended as if I was afraid. I watched
Tia I could not believe the relief I felt seeing that the man I had just punched was my husband. I could not stop crying, and he came to hold me. "Why did you stay so long," I wept uncontrollably. I was relieved that he was back. I had packed my bags, ready to go to Santa Braee to find him. I did
Luke led me into the shower for us to clean up, and to my surprise, he took me there too. We finally returned to the room and lay down. Placing my head on his chest, I took in his scent as we drifted back to sleep. I woke up on an empty bed and began to panic. Had I been dreaming? Did he come home?
"Caleb is now in charge, you know. Your father asked me to step down because of the baby," I explained to Luke, and he nodded. "I know. Caleb knows I am back. He is happy," Luke said, laughing, "He detests being Alpha," I laughed, remembering how Caleb always complained while at the academy. He nev
Caleb. Luke was finally back. I wanted to go look for him in Santa Braee, but when my father dropped the bomb of leading the pack on me, I knew there was no way I would be able to make it there. Things were falling apart tremendously, and I did not know what would happen if Luke did not return with
Mike approached us, and Luke frowned. "Where is the prisoner?" He asked Mike and Mike smiled. "In Kirk's care. Kirk is trustworthy. He won't double-cross us." Mike explained, and Luke nodded. "I really don't trust anybody right now. That bastard has moles everywhere." Luke said, and we were silen
"Justin has a guy. I have instructed Mikey to make sure they pick the guy up. They will lead us to Luis's underground pack. We will strike there first to flush him out. I want this over with so we can move on with our lives. I should be training, picking baby names and playing house with Tia right n
Grand aunty Ummul passed away a year ago, and we still miss her, especially Emma and Chloe. We had learned sign language because of her. We did not mourn too much because we knew she had gone to rest. Luke was glad we could care for her a little longer before she died. Aunty Amira was married with c
"You missed breakfast," Luke said, and she looked away. I noticed a hickey on her neck. She saw that I noticed and tried to cover it. "Come on, Luke, Aunty Amirah can come for breakfast whenever," I told him, and she smiled at me. Not wanting him to say anything else, I urged him to move on. "I ho
Tia SIX MONTHS LATER Luke and I woke up late, so we had to rush to prepare for breakfast. Chloe and James were peaceful babies, and even though they had nannies, we checked on them at night to ensure they were alright. They were a blessing. Paul was growing well too. Doctor Khalifa had said his he
"Stacy.." he managed with his deep voice., but it sounded weak and defeated. I looked up gradually, and his eyes were filled with tears. "I am sorry, Stacy. I was mean to you. I should have made more effort. I should have loved you harder. I take all the blame," he said, and I shook my head and sto
Stacy. I spent three months missing Aesop. It was hard. Sometimes I wished I didn't leave, but I needed time alone. All my life, I had been in someone's shadow. First, it was my parents, then Regan and then Aesop. I never had the time to discover myself and learn my weaknesses and strengths. I neve
"Every time you feel a contraction, I want you to push," She said, and I nodded. The first contraction came, and I pushed as instructed. ONE HOUR LATER I had delivered twins. A boy and a girl and the nurses had taken them to clean them up. I was anxious to see them. They had wheeled me back to the
"I know you didn't think your exit would affect him much, but it did. When he said he loved you, he meant it. When you were poisoned, he never left the hospital until the day he brought you home. He remained by your side. When he pushed you out of his room, he gave them an order at the gate not to l
"No, Luke. Let me see her first, then I will call you to bring him," I said and took out my phone to text him the address. "I am sending you her address right now," I said, and he looked a bit worried. "What is the matter, darling?" I asked him, and he sighed. "You are almost due, Tia. I would no
"Have you been able to reach Stacy?" He asked me, and I shook my head. I knew it wouldn't be easy since Caleb her son, had been unable to reach her. He travelled to Dome two months ago when she opened the foundation, and he did not meet her. She had been M.I.A. since then. It was as if she deliberat
