" What do you mean by they'll come to us by themselves?" Magnus asked as he followed Larsen to his room, closing the door behind him as he entered.Without wasting any more seconds, Larsen began to unbutton his shirt." Just sit and wait,"" I trust whatever decision you make, but we'd have to announce his death to his family today, if not the slave as the killer; I should at least know every detail of these coming enemies, and how are you so sure they're coming?"Larsen took off his shirt and his belt before turning to him." They have some unfinished business and I'm certain they'd come for it,"" What business?"" The attack which was a distraction present two reasons, one which is to create a misunderstanding by making us collide with the Howl clan, that's their way of taking two enemies out of the line,"" Dumb pack, and the other reason?"" They wanted someone from my pack, they attempted to kidnap the slave,"" The same slave you arrived with?"" Yes."Magnus scoffed in confusi
Like wildfire, the news of the Obsidian Wraith clan being under attack spread throughout the whole clan in no time, immediately becoming the news and talk of the city. It became a noisy day, every clan, and every influential individual was in groups, on calls about the sudden attack on the Wraith pack, and their perception of it, all were convinced that the attacker was the Bloodfang Howl clan, some hesitating to take the declaration as a war and choose a side for their benefit while some decided to lay low and observe more.Alpha Larsen and Alpha Harper are two predators and devils; what the two are thinking can never be predictable, and reacting or choosing a side so early could put a target on them.Amidst the noisy day is a family in bereavement, their wails echoed within their walls as the corpse of their son was presented to them. The cause of death is said to be from the attack. Mathew's mother wailed and screamed as they took the dead body inside the house; her anguish was unp
Noely hid behind a tree, watching the slaves who were some feet away. She clenched and unclenched her fist, waiting for the perfect time to approach the lady who seemed to be the boss. The slaves from the other division were of rank; the slaves who got to serve the Alphas up close had a higher rank than the other slaves from the other division. Among the slaves that serve the Alphas, one of them, a pretty she-wolf with black wavy hair, is the boss of the division as she is Elia's favorite. Noely watched as other slaves massaged her body, trying to please her so that she could help them rank up and also get to serve in the mansion. Unable to wait any longer, she approached them. " Hi," she greeted and all eyes turned to her. Pweety, the boss getting her body massaged looked up at her with a questioning stare. Looking at her closer, Noely understood why she was Elia's favorite slave; she was indeed a beauty with blue ocean eyes; her jaw and pointed nose made her beauty exception
By the time Elora dragged the not fully-dried bed back inside her cell, it was dusk already. Her body shivered from the cold cloth she wore; it wasn't fully dried before the sunset. Her body aches from exhaustion, and her eyes inches with cravings for deep sleep.She looked at the bed exhaustedly and swallowed down some saliva, which made her realize how dry her throat was." You can't sleep here tonight, the bed is wet and your body is cold,"" Where else would I sleep?" she asked yawning," You're already shivering, sleeping here would only give you a fiver," Naya said worriedly, " Someone would think you care with the way you're talking,"" That's because I do,"" I hope you don't expect me to trust that."Lack of trust is what Naya has gotten accustomed to since she got trapped in her body, and ever since she got to know the reason behind her hostility, her lack of trust was justifiable. Getting Elora to trust her is the hardest task she's ever had as it seems impossible." You'r
Larsen gasped when he was bumped into; frown slowly crept onto his handsome face looking at his stained shirt, but when he looked at who bumped into him, his eyes softened. His lips parted as his eyes bored into hers before looking at her face as a whole, and he bit his inner lips hard to restrain himself from bursting into laughter. The urge to burst into laughter was something he hadn't had for years, but looking at her funny and weird face and her whole mouth covered in sauce.He looked at her hands and exhaled in disbelief, they were both full of meat." What are you doing? Elora."This was the first time he had ever called her by her name, and it made her heart skip so hard.'OMG! I've been caught, will this put Isha in trouble? Oh no! I'd just lie that I stole it,' she said in her mind dropping her gaze nervously." Um. I ..I..," she stuttered but he cut her short by suddenly pulling her out of the way and out of the guard's sight, shielding her petite body with his.He remaine
His dancing finger with pen halted over the files on the table, his gaze fixed on the white paper, but his lost eyes couldn't take out a word like he was in a daze with his pink lips slightly parted.His thoughts were no longer on the important document before him; his mind had wandered off, and he couldn't fight it the moment it landed on the image of her eyes that flashed across his mind.He remembered that day, the first day she stood before him seething, her strength, her defiance, her laughter that screams pain. His heart feels cold in a strange way remembering it; he couldn't sentence her; the urge to watch over her, the feeling to hide her away from the eyes of all that wants her dead washed over him, and ever since, he knew she was a trouble, a trouble he had to avoid.Her outbursts, her cries, her words that were always laced with either hatred or pain, he couldn't shake it off his mind, but when he remembered her anger, her funny face when swearing at him, he had no idea whe
Magnus swallowed nervously, afraid Larsen had caught him. A minute ago, his heart was racing out of excitement and curiosity that he has a mate and she's close but now it's racing out of anxiety." What are you doing?" Larsen asked as he stood beside him, looking below at the slaves that had begun to disperse. His eyes searched around for Elora and soon caught her wrapping her arms around a pink-haired slave." I was carrying out your order," Magnus replied trying to sound as normal as possible.Larsen, whose attention was now on Elora, nodded his head without noticing the oddity in his tone. He watched them pull away from his other, two more slaves joining them, and his eyes caught something surprising. Her smile. She was smiling.He placed his hand on the balcony rail, looking closely in shock, and for the first time, assured that he wasn't dreaming or hallucinating; she was indeed smiling. Grinning ear to ear at the pink-haired lady who was laughing.How beautiful her smile was mad
Larsen was heading toward the study room when he got information about him having a guest, which made him change his direction and head toward the sitting room instead." The devil himself," Kesler praised as he watched him ascend the stairs.Larsen scoffed.Feeling his aura that's so intimidating, his charm, and the way he carries himself is something Kesler envied so much about him. Larsen's handsomeness is unlike any wolf he's ever come across; his features and personality are likewise unlike anyone except for Harper, the man who controls hell, but even he doesn't have the kind of aura Larsen carries around with him.Harper is manipulative and cunny, but Larsen is smart and intelligent; their difference is huge, but anyone can easily assume Larsen to be the Alpha of all Alphas. That's how powerful and intimidating he is." To whom do I owe this visit," Larsen's deep voice nearly gave him the chills " Hasn't it been a long time? The last competition we had was the last time we saw
" what do you mean?"" I don't trust you,"" But you trust him?"" No, but at least he has a motive; he is ready to make amendments for his mistakes and wouldn't hurt me."Hurt me. The word slaps him hard across the face." You don't need him,"" He's going to get justice for Scarlett, everyone is going to know the truth,"" It isn't justice you want, it's revenge,"" That'll only put me in more trouble and danger, I might get killed if I get caught killing anyone again."" Do whatever you want; kill whoever you want; I'll be your alibi."The rigidness and unwavering tone and stare, the look in his eyes when he said that wrapped her soul in the feeling of protection and her heart melt, but with that, her head felt the battle of confusion within her mind.He got up from the bed when she said no more and covered her legs with the duvet." Get some sleep, it's late," he said and made to leave," Stop confusing me?," she said running her fingers through her blonde hair and her face covere
" my beautiful pup, hmm muah! You're so adorable," her giggling voice said as she rubbed her face against his chubby, cute face.Larsen chuckled, his face full of smiles, " I miss you so much mum," his excited voice telling her exactly how much he had missed her. He hugged her, wrapping his little arms around her.Larsen clenched his fist hard as the next memory he had of her was her hand dripping with blood, and the look on her face. The memories he couldn't shove away, the memories that couldn't be buried but just live with it. The feelings he felt that day were still raw and fresh; the anger, the disappointment, the fear, they flashed across his eyes, brewing another wave of anger in him as he angrily gulped down the seventh bottle of alcohol and yet didn't feel any ounce of tipsiness.His heart feels so heavy that anger radiates through his veins as he keeps remembering his mother's bloody hands and Damien's hand holding Elora's. If he sees Damien right this moment, he wouldn't he
Without giving room for a response, he turned around and grabbed Elora's wrist before dragging her along with him back to their suite while Damien stood still, with his blood boiling and he gave out a loud growl and grunt of anger and frustration. His breath rose and fell erratically.Amie watched from the corner, smirking in satisfaction, knowing she'd gotten into trouble; her wince confirmed it as Larsen dragged her with him. The fear on Elora's face gave Amie so much joy that her eyes flickered with so much relief and lifted her mood that made her want to hum a song.Elora winced in pain from Larsen's tight grip, but he was so furious that it sent shivers down her spine; his fury terrified her that she couldn't tell him that his grip hurt. How dare her! How dare her!!His mind was in an unrelenting turmoil. It was so unbelievable when Amie showed him the picture she took, but when she took him to the spot and had to see for himself, a fire was ignited in him.He clenched his fist
Elora was surprised as her eyes fell on him." Alpha Damien?" the call was almost a whisper," Elora," he called with a smile nudging in. He was pissed about how today went; the smiley look on Elora's face after the meeting ended taunted him that he made plans to have dinner with the Alpha, hoping to see her, but his anger even surged higher when his request was turned down.He was standing by the glassy wall, gazing out of the window and sipping his red wine after giving feedback on their plan to Elia when he saw her taking a walk.This is heaven presenting to him a chance and he wouldn't for anything let it pass." Taking a walk?" he asked, looking as she folded her arms beneath her breast.Without responding, she turned to walk away but he immediately blocked the way with his body." Are you avoiding me?"" Isn't that obvious?."His heart skipped and ached at the same time. She glared up at him.When would she ever look at him the same way he looks at her." For how long would you
" why are you bleeding?" his serious voice icy and firm. She hid it behind her, making him step closer, and roughly pulled her closer, grabbing her hand. He took a look at her palm and shot her a frown, " You did this?" " It's none of your business," " Everything about you is my business," he flared up looking at the palm, " you did this to yourself?." She swallowed, feeling uncomfortable with how close they were, and her body felt his touch on her hand even though his eyes were blazing. " That's how much anger I was suppressing, his presence irritates me, every word he uttered makes my blood boil, I wish I could punish him, make him suffer, but when you give him the power and privilege, it angers me more," ' and it hurts.' She completed it in her mind. Larsen felt a strike of guilt hit his chest; how much must she have been suppressing to have pierced her delicate palm? His grip tightened for a second. " I wasn't giving him power," he said and dragged her to the pr
She made to punch his lips hard, but she couldn't; rather, she returned it with a brief cheeky smile and dropped the file on the table before walking to the other side, beside Jordan, hating every step she took towards him.She reached out to the water and gently poured the contents into the cup." A drop of it falls, and you'll crawl under his legs," She heard Larsen's warning that sent waves of anger through her.It's like he saw through her; that devil; she wanted to spill the water on Jordan, but after the threat, she couldn't. It was a message, an unspoken twist of dominance he had over her; even though she hated him and would love to defile him in every way she could, she couldn't risk having to crawl under Jordan's legs.Over her dead body. That disgusting traitor, that murderer." She's so clumsy, I'm sure she'd spill it and then crawl between my legs," Jordan taunted.Elora gritted her teeth as she slowly handed over the water to him, but the cunny Jordan made her spill it by
She felt her heart skip a little and tightened her fist against the black file she was still holding, brushing the memories to the back of her mind as she hastened her steps to meet up with Larsen's pace.The day could only get busier for Elora as she was given a quick tour through the building, from the massive warehouses, and underground storage vaults where she gets to see some rare earth minerals and exotic materials, then tour to other departments like the logistics and contribution firm, a high-security distribution center where the minerals, obsidian, silver and artifacts are processed." Sir," Elora saw Austin said to Larsen, " it's time for the meeting."' what meeting again? Am I not supposed to at least know my purpose of being here, or is it to just be carrying this annoying black file around with you like a slave?' she yelled in her mind that soon cooled down, ' oh yeah, I'm a slave.'Her face dropped, and without saying anything, she followed both Larsen and Austin to th
" like I said, we are not your citizens, we answer to our own law, not yours," Larsen glared at the senator, " we have our own security watching our kinds, no wolf would be a threat to you if you ain't a threat," " We're only trying to co-exist here, which is your only option."Larsen scoffed, "The werewolves here ain't even up to two hundred and they are only here for business."Half of the two hundred werewolves work in Larsen's hotel in the human world, while others maintain the importing, exporting, and distribution of minerals." Still,"" No still, we'll take care of our own kind, it's you who should be watchful of your people, we'll punish any wolf who goes against the law ourselves, just keep to your part of the deal and we'd be fine,"" We're upholding our end of the deal.."" Then there's nothing more to discuss; let's maintain our barter arrangement."The governor cleared his throat awkwardly, not liking how the conversation was not in any way going how they'd want, but th
Elora sat with other guards in a big van, dressed in a black pencil skirt and a white satin blouse with a knot. Her hair was packed in a bun, and the footwear she was on was a flat shoe. She glanced down at herself again.' why did he dress me up like I'm going for some official meeting,' she asked in her mind frowning. She looked like she was going to the office if not that she was thrown with the guards in a black van.He wouldn't even let her ride with him to wherever they were going; the distance between them made him seem invisible to her, and for some unknown reason, it made her mad.' there's no way I'd ever understand him or know him,' she said in her mind. He is like a brick wall, one she can't break or see through.Soon, the van came to a brupt stop, and everyone alighted. Elora gasped at the building before her; it was like nothing of the building was made of bricks and clay; everything was of aluminum." Wow, hailing to constructors," she uttered, staring at the building,
