- Jason -

"Elder Raphael...," I called out to the elder while I made my way through the crowd with murmurs of "excuse me" as I lightly pushed them out of the way so I wouldn't miss him.

"You are leaving already?" I asked when I finally got to where he was. I could see that he was leaving, though, but had to be certain and also because his daughter is nowhere to be found.

"Yes, I am, Jason," he said. "The party comes to an end already, and I don't want to stay any longer as it's getting late."

"Yeah..." I dragged and decided to ask what brought me here. "How about Keisha? You are not leaving with her? I uh, I don't see her anywhere."

"I don't see her as well," the man said, looking around as if he had just realised he was about to leave without her. "I've had my men look all over for her, but they couldn't find her. I guess she must have left with a friend or something. She knows her way home. I am too old to remain here in the cold while I wait for her."

"Oh.. right," I said, struggli

    - Keisha -I turned round to see Jason leaning in a corner. I almost jumped out of my skin, not expecting him there."What the hell..." I muttered under my breath."Morning to you, too," he said, his eyes not leaving me for a second."Jason, how...what are you doing here?" I stuttered."Where are you coming from?" He asked instead, and I swallowed hard, not knowing what to say."I was with a friend," I finally said when it was obvious he was not letting it be."Oh really?" He said. "Which of your friends?""That does not matter. Jason, what are you doing here? How are you here at the gate of my house this early morning?" I knew I had to focus on doing the questioning because I would get caught if I had to answer him."I came here to see you," he said, and there was sadness in his voice."This early? Jason, what were you thinking?""Maybe I wasn't thinking. I'll just go back home now," He said and turned to leave."No wait. Jason waited," I called him back, stretching out a hand toward

    - Kira -I laid down face flat on the bed, too tired to do anything. No, I was not tired. I was just... maybe upset? And upset for no tangible reason I can say.I knew what my problem was, but it was pathetic to agree to such because I knew I had to reason with being upset.My problem started the very moment I knew Jason had a mate. Well, who was I kidding? Such a fine and noble man would have a woman in his life.Besides, I also have a man who is Xavier so why is my heart down because of Jason? I just like him, I told myself. Nothing more. And I want to be friends but now I am feeling like that is not going to work.I could see the blazing fury in Keisha's eyes and I knew she was not there to play. Jason did not even attempt to make her stop disrespecting me with her words. Probably because he loves and respects her so much. So much more than me of course.This whole shit has been me trying to get close to him when he doesn't ev

    - Jason -Just when I was about to take the corner to my room, Morgan came right up in front of me, still holding that cup in his hand."My goodness, Jason," he started. "You look horrible. Where'd you been all night? You look like you've been out hunting, except I don't see any meat."He looked me over as if he had not noticed I was not holding anything before. When I did not give him any answer, he continued."You're still in your clothes from the party last night. Did something happen? And I just saw you coming into the building now. Did you go somewhere?""Well, you wouldn't know since you had a good night's rest," I replied."My goodness," he raised a brow. "Was there an attack last night, and you had to go handle it?""Look, Morgan, I have no time for this, okay? I am very tired and as you can see, I need to freshen up and have some rest. If you will excuse me, please.""You will never learn to add the tit

    - Giselle -"I don't think that is something I want to talk about," she said, and I narrowed my eyes."And why?" I wanted to know."Because talking about your mother brings back memories I don't want to remember," she said. "Hell, thinking about her alone is enough to drive me as crazy as she did when she was alive."I did not know why I did not feel anything when she said that. She was speaking about my mother and should have gotten some reactions when she said those words, but I was more interested in the information I was after and the details in it."Tell me about it," I pushed. "I mean, your experiences with her. All of it. I want to know."She took a deep breath before starting."Well, your mother was a very..." She paused, looking for the word to put there. "She was a very strict woman who treated me with iron hands.""Was it just you or all the other maids?" I inte

    - Cleopatra -I kept the slight surprise I felt when Giselle walked into my room. She asked if she could sit, and I pointed to a chair wordlessly while I wondered what she wanted.She sat on the chair and looked me straight in the face with no readable expression at the moment."What do you want?" I wasted no further time in asking."I just want to have a word with you about something, probably not so serious," she said. "I have some questions I want to find out about someone, and you are in the best position to know."I couldn't tell if she intentionally went quiet to get me curious or not, but whatever reason she did that for, got me asking."Who?""Odessa," she called the name as if she was expecting some reaction from me. I did my very best to look casual and normal about it, but deep within me, I was already panicking. What does she want to know about Odessa all of a sudden? And from me, too?"What do you want to know?" I had to ask."A few things that might be leading up to her

    - Giselle -I knew I had to find that midwife. Something tells me she will have the key information I am looking for about Odessa's death.I wouldn't have gone on with any investigations but for the persistent and disturbing dreams I kept having.I told Franklin so when he wondered what I was trying to find."I feel there's something significant that did happen at her death," I told him. "I can feel it, and I see it in my dreams too. Just, I just don't see clearly to determine what that is. But if I can know where to find that midwife, she might just have the answer to everything.""I don't know where you can find her," Franklin said with a frown. "But I'm going to get you someone who might know where she is.""Oh, honey," I placed a hand on him. "I will appreciate that."While I was busy trying to get some work done on that, Kira seemed to be hanging around me to see what I was up to. She was everywhere I went, and at some point, I had to confront her when I came across her on the ba

    - Cleopatra -"What do you mean?" Anna looked at me questioningly."You know me well, my dear. I always keep to my word unless it's almost a matter of life and death, and in this case it is," I said, and she leaned back on the chair, her eyes not leaving mine."If that's the case, I don't think I have so much to worry about. I'm already on the end road of life.""This doesn't concern you alone," I said with a frown, slightly annoyed with what she just said. "I am involved in this too, and if you're too excited for the journey of the afterlife, then I am not, and this is not the way I want to go.""Too bad for you then, and why are you telling me? What can I do for you?" She threw at me, and I took a deep breath, holding in my anger."If it had nothing to do with you, I wouldn't be here," I said. "Now, will you shut your mouth for a moment so I can speak? You don't even know what I am here for.""It's almost not hard to tell, but anyway, you can go ahead.""After all these years, Frank

    - Kira -I pushed his hands slowly off my body."There is no man but you, Xavier," I said quietly. "And yes, maybe I have a couple of male admirers, and I look at a few men, you've been the only one in my heart and the man I want to spend my life with. If only you had made moves to make me yours legally, maybe we wouldn't be here. Maybe I wouldn't even be looking at another man and admire him because I already have you.""Kira," he called softly, calming down. "Gosh, how can I be so insensitive? I'm so sorry, honey. I'm so sorry. I did not mean to make you feel this way.""Xavier, I have been asking you what you intend in this relationship. I have been the only one pushing, and it's not fair that you make me go through this, then think I am seeing someone.""You are right," he said. "I shouldn't have said that. I was just overwhelmed because you didn't sound trusting anymore, and most women sound like this when they have a man loving them somewhere, so I was worried. Look, I love you

    - Jason -I instinctively placed a hand on my stomach, waiting to feel any slight pain."Did you poison me?" I asked him. The seriousness dropped off his face, and he laughed. Morgan laughed long and hard, doubling over. He hit his fist on the table while he laughed, and I watched him, dumbfounded.He finally struggled to control the laughter with a wheezing sound, tears in his eyes."Gosh, you need to see the look on your face," he said. "I did not poison you, silly."I let out a deep breath I had not realized that I was holding."Now, why will I want to kill you and choose to do it by poisoning your food?" He asked, taking a cup of water from the table. He gulped it down and shook his head at me. "You looked so shaken. Are you that scared of death? For someone like you, poisoning is a disgraceful way to die, for even if I wanted to kill you, not that way."He laughed again."Morgan, that was not funny," I had to say."You think? You looked like a wrung chicken. You looked like your

    - Jason -I had just finished speaking with Alpha Sheka about very important matters of the pack and was about to leave when he called me back."That reminds me," he said. "I need to invite you to a banquet tonight. I was going to tell you earlier but I skipped. Also because of the matters at hand you know.""I understand alpha," I replied empathetically. "Where'd we get the invitation from now?""Oh it's not far," he said with a suspicious movement of his lips that could pass for a smile. "It's from my son.""Oh, that's interest...what!?" I was saying before my brain registered what I heard."Yes, my son, Morgan. He arranged the banquet specially made for me and you," he repeated and I still could not believe my ears."Did he say he wanted me at the banquet?" I still asked because I could not make sense out of it yet."He made a special request for you to be there. You are surprised, aren't you? Well, I am too. I hope you don't mind the banquet. I've always thought you two were...uh,

    - Jason -It took me a few seconds after I returned to my room, to notice someone was there. I turned around with a displeased frown on my face."What are you doing here, Morgan?" I asked him."It's Prince Morgan but yeah, I think I can let that slide since it's you and also seeing that you'd always stress me with having to correct you all the time," he said with a grimace."What are you doing in my room?" I sighed."I'm here to talk," he replied with a shrug. "Can't I talk to you?""What are we talking about and why in my room? Official meetings are not held in the bedroom.""That's it," he snapped his fingers. "Because this is not an official business.""I cannot tell when we began to have an unofficial relationship," I stated and he laughed."Maybe if you were paying attention more, you'd remember that I did mention it.""I don't want to be acquainted with you, Morgan," I said to his face. "I am fine the way we are.""Come on Jason, don't make this hard," he said, relaxing his back

    - Cleopatra -I eyed the greedy man and scoffed."What do you mean by this is not enough? Do you want four generations' wealth before you're okay?" I scowled at him."My lady, you know what it caused us to be able to cover up for you. And I have other people to settle and keep their mouths shut. You will have to remit more."I sighed tiredly."Okay fine. I am going to give you some more but that will be it. You must not complain nor ask me for anything after that. And you must not try to contact me because we can never be seen together. Do you understand?""Clearly," he replied."Good."I was able to handle him without anyone finding out about it, and I hoped it remained that way. Anna has promised to keep her mouth shut and only say what was agreed on if Giselle finds her, but I couldn't trust her.How could I hold her to her words? I looked into her eyes and saw the fear. Such a person can be easily l

    - Giselle -I was very eager for the reports, but I was disappointed."There were no prints," the experts told me. "The old lady poisoned herself to death.""You're trying to tell me she took her own life?" I asked for clarity even though I heard them. I felt like asking them why, but knew they wouldn't have an answer to that.The midwife was well, according to the reports given to me hours before I went to see her, and then she poisoned herself?This doesn't make any sense to me."There has to be a reason why this happened," I said thoughtfully as I paced around the room. "Why did she take her life? What made her do it?"I lifted my head, and Franklin was barely paying any attention to me."What do you think about this?" I asked, and he looked at me."I don't know," he said with a shrug."You don't think she'd take her life for no reason, right? What must have made her do it? Did someone threa

    - Giselle -"What?" I asked, my eyes following the direction of his hand. There was something at the edge of the bed, and I walked towards it.An old woman, obviously the midwife, was lying dead on the ground in the corner."Oh gracious heavens," I muttered, placing a hand on my chest. One of the guards moved close and picked up a bottle lying beside her."Looks like a poison," he said, lifting the bottle to his face and observing it. She had foam all over her mouth, and her body looked fresh like she could have died just a few minutes before we arrived.How did we not even notice all this while? And I looked all over the room. There were no signs of death anywhere.Gosh, I was this close to getting her, I lamented."Looks like murder," Another commented, what was going through my mind."What do we do now?" They asked me after moments of staring at the cold body beneath.

    - Kira -"Well?" Mother asked as soon as I got into the room. "Have you been able to find out something?""Nothing yet," I told her with a sigh. "And there are no signs to show me exactly what is happening.""I am sure that lady is up to something," Mother said thoughtfully with a finger on her lip. "I can tell it. She came to me and asked some questions, and that's typical of someone who wants to go looking for answers."I turned to look at her properly with some suspicion."You are not sure what she is up to? I think you should know since she discussed something with you. You think it's related to that," I pointed out."She said she just wanted to know a few things about her mother and asked me because I was Meredith's maid. At a point, I thought she was just asking because she wanted to know what her mother was like, but now I think something else is triggering her.""So? Is that something that should worry you? Do yo
