My eyes opened to the sound of a man yelling, I stood up and immediately fell back down to the bed, all my muscles ached, and my head began to spine painfully, I tried to get up again.

“Don’t hurt yourself!.” I heard a man say, he sounded strong and authoritative.

I turned my head fast and regretted it the second I did.

“So she’s the reason you were late!!.” A man scolded.

My eyes flashed at him, it was like he saw a ghost or something. Did I look that bad??, I need a mirror now!

The man walked towards me and sat beside the bed “Stay still or you're gonna hurt yourself more!.” He said.

The man who yelled at him was quiet like he was in shock or he was restless.

“I am Marshal, I was the one who brought you here.” He informed me.

I smiled at him as sweetly as I could. “You saved me back there thank you!.” I said with my voice cracked.

“No need I couldn’t watch a man beat up a young lady like that!.” He replied sharply.

I didn’t want my mind to wander too far, he was just a good samarita

    I walked around the room. It was quite fancy, with a king-size bed, white walls and gold interiors. The rug looked like it could buy my entire house and everything I owned. I walked to the bathroom to wash my face, I looked horrible so I decided to have a bath.I had a quick bath and got out, I didn’t have anything to wear so I wore my old outfit.I heard a knock on the door, and without waiting for a second the door flung open.“Hi..” I could hear myself stammer.“Sit!.” He ordered.‘How rude!.’ I thought but god knew I was scared of him, he was taller than me and huge.I sat quietly waiting for him to take advantage of me, tears already boiling in my eyes. I thought this wasn’t going to happen again.“What’s your name??.”“I am Alora,” I replied with my head low, I didn’t dare to make eye contact.Hooker's code number one is never to look the man in the eye it meant you were disrespecting him. This was my life again.“I am not hurting you!.” He sounded somewhat calm and gentle as he

    Aiden POV.I and Marshal walked into the company building, all the staff stood from their desks, and the ones already standing stopped what they were doing to greet me and Marshal, I was in too much of a hurry to answer their greetings.I and Marshal walked starting to my private elevator which led straight to my office which was on the eighth floor so was the conference room.Once I stepped out of the elevator I could hear the voices of the shareholders. They seemed to be having a crisis there, so I moved swiftly to the door. Marshal opened it for me and I walked in.The moment I stepped in the chatter stopped, my Aura was enough to short them up without me saying a thing.I sat at my usual seat, while Marshal sat beside me.“Shall we begin??.” I asked with a cold tone.“Yes indeed,” Mr Alfred said.“Mr Alfred I need the report on the ongoing project in India,” I demanded with my eyes on him.He seemed shaky, he flipped through the pages of his portfolio, from the first page to the v

    “I am sorry if I upset you, I just wanted to know but that’s alright if you don’t want to share it,” Aiden said.I felt guilty when I heard his sad voice “I am sorry for being that way, it’s just that I had a tough time with my family and talking about it brings back memories I want to forget but I can’t.” I answered with a wounded heart, tears rolled down my eyes as I spoke.“I understand. But can you answer just this one question? ʻ.”What did he understand and another question??, just kill me already!I nodded without breathing. I focused on my fingernails.“What’s a Mate?.”I looked up at him, his face had no emotions that I could read. I opened my mouth but no words came out, I tried again but nothing, I inhaled and exhaled.“The person is your missing rib, that piece that you had been searching for and finally found. someone that you can’t do without.” I inhaled and held it, then I continued with images of my mom and William flashing before my eyes. “Someone you would go the ex

    I couldn’t move my eyes from his face, it was too enchanting. He looked out of this world, he looked like he was created out of every woman’s dream man.I heard a phone ring it wasn’t mine, Aiden looked away, apparently, it was his phone, he answered the call and spoke harshly. With him on the phone, I could breathe freely. I inhaled and exhaled as though once he was done with the call I wouldn’t be allowed to breathe.“Meet us at the mall!.” Aiden replied to whatever the person on the other end said.“You know the one I am referring to!.” He said harshly, then hung up.I looked up at him and then quickly looked away. I felt his hand around my shoulder. I shivered when I felt like our skin was magnetic.I could tell that a jerk was staring at us through the rearview mirror, a growl erupted from Aidens chest, which made me jump and as well made that jerk stop staring.“I am sorry love.” He said with those endearments that made my heart skip a bit.I nodded at him. ‘What’s wrong with yo

I wanted the best for her, I wanted to spoil her and make her the envy of every woman and every man's desire.I walked her into the most elite store in the mall, I stood still while I watched her stare at the outfits and dresses, she seemed confused thanks to the salesgirl who kept on flashing different outfits in her face.“Aiden?!.”“Yes, love?!.” I replied when she called me.“Which do you prefer?!.” She asked me.“Which do you prefer?!.” I asked her the same question she threw at me.I watched her squeeze her face, then stared at the outfits again.“I don't know which to pick,” Alora said she looked like she was thinking.“So do you like them all?!.” I asked her.Alora stared at the outfits and then at me, she nodded with a shy look, that made my Beast jump for joy. I smiled at her. “Try them all.”Her eyes widened, and she inhaled and exhaled before nodding her head. She took the clothes from the salesgir

    Alora’s POVMy eyes flashed with anger when my phone hit the ground, it was dead now! I immediately pulled myself together. This was no longer high school. It was about time I thought this bitch a lesson she would never forget.“Seems you now have a sugar daddy that pays your bills, I am sure without one you wouldn’t be able to pay for anything in here!.” Linda said with her black eyes flashing at me.She has always been a pain in the neck, it was time she got a taste of her own medicine.“Are you done talking?!.” I asked her.“I am sure you can’t attract a rich man to be your sugar daddy!.” Linda said with a mocking tone.I was used to her insults what she said didn’t seem to bug or shake me as they initially used to, sometimes she sounded stupid and out of point.“Your point exactly?!!.” I asked as I crossed my hands on my chest waiting for her to run out of words, that would be easy as she didn’t bring her goons.“My point is you’re into prostitution now! so….”This bitch chose the

    I felt joy in my heart that my husband had gotten his senses back. Did he ever lose them or he just decided to act dumb all these years? Well that I have no idea of.My husband dismissed the meeting and we went back home. We began to pack. I packed all our fancy clothes and good footwear. Well, not all I made a lot of money! From my business which made me one of the richest women in the country.“Would we go by road or by air?!.” Ramon asked.“By road, we can’t afford to get tracked!.” I said.Well, he wasn’t so smart but at least it was better than before. He finally spoke his mind and it made sense, maybe I should let him speak out more often than hiding him and keeping him quiet.I stared at him as he packed our bags. I went through our documents and packed them in my bag.“We will leave tomorrow morning by 4 am!.” I told him and he nodded at me.I had a short nap. I woke up at exactly 3:55 am and got ready. To my greatest surprise, he was already awake, dressed and ready to leave.

It was as though her words didn’t affect the man.He looked up at her and then back down at his phone.“Beautiful!..” he murmured.Malica raised her face from the ground to see the man she was begging for was glued to his phone.“Sir I will get you the girl you are admiring if only you give me back my girls!.” Malica saw this as an opportunity to get what she wanted.“If you can bring her to me I will give you all that I have taken from you! but if you fail to bring her back! I will take you and your family, including the girls I have already taken!.” The man replied.“I wouldn’t fail you, sir!.” Malica said with fear in her heart. She didn’t know how she was going to carry out such a mission.“You have a week!.” Malica looked up at him with shock, a week for such a tax.“What does she look like?!.” Malica asked.“This!.” He said a

    “Alora honey!.” Zemia whispered, his hands falling on her shoulders gently.Alora jumped in fear. She held her chest and shook her head. “Yea?!.” She replied with a weak voice.“Maybe we should leave the gift unwrapping!.” Zemia suggested he squatted down beside her. He held her close. Alora buried her face in the croke of Zemias neck.“I loved her!!. I never wanted her to get hurt!!, I was willing to hurt myself as long as she was happy!!.” Alora cried. Tears came running down her cheek like a waterfall. Zemia sat beside her and pulled her, he moved her fast as though she was an infant with no weight, he sat her on his lap and he spoke words of encouragement he was better than Aiden in this aspect and probably many others.Alora held on tight to Zemia. She was shivering for fear, the last memories of her mother made tears run down her cheek. Zemia was in a state of panic. Alora looked up at his worried face, she had once seen such an expression. Alora dried her tears.“I am lucky

    Alora looked up at him and then smiled. “My mom used to buy me presents and hide them around the house for me to find and when I did I would gather them on her bed and she would watch me open them one after the other!.” Alora explained with sad eyes.Zemia sat beside her and wiped the tears from her eyes before they could drop. “Why don’t we do everything you and your mom did together?!, we could make it a tradition?!.” Alora looked up at him, she smiled and hugged him tight. “Thank you!.” Alora said and tears followed.“Please don’t cry!.” Zemia said. He tapped Alora back gently trying to calm her down. “Tell me what things you and your mum did when you were younger?!.” Zemia asked.Alora sniffed and she cleaned her dripping nose and her eyes. After listing everything Alora looked up at Zemia to see a smile on his face, she felt awkward about the fact she was putting all her burden on him.“That is a long list of activities !.” Zemia said.Alora inhaled and exhaled.“We better get s

    I laid my head on Zemia’s shoulders all through the drive.“Zemia?!.” I called.“Yes, dear?!.” He replied.“Before I bound our souls, didn't you have someone you were meant to get married to ?!.” I asked out of curiosity, I couldn’t hold my curious mind I had to ask.“No! I had no one! my brothers were assigned to females of our species except for me!.” He replied and then I felt him pull me closer.“Why weren’t you assigned?!.” I asked.“Because they believed I was going to become the king and my mother stood against me being assigned to a woman!.” He replied. “Please let’s not talk about my family! Tell me what do you want ?!.” He said“I want my apartment!.” I replied with hope in my eyes. I hoped this wasn’t much to ask.“Why?. you don’t like staying with me?!.” He asked.“I do! I just want privacy!.” I replied. Well with a girl like me in a house with maybe a hundred staff I guess it was just too much. I wanted something simple and less fancy.“You can always tell me if you’re u

My head was already on fire, I ran into the restroom and Locked the door.I felt my bones snapping, my legs broke and I fell to the ground, I let out a scream.

I doubt you’re ready!.” I replied.I was still laying in bed, Alora exhaled and inhaled. She kept calm.“Your beast is beautiful!.” I broke the silence.Alora looked up at me, and she smiled. “Thanks!.” She said,I knew she felt bad that I rejected her offer of me marking her but I wanted her to know exactly what she was getting herself into, I didn’t want her to rush things and then regret it later.My phone beeped, I checked who it was from.
