Magnus head back inside after seeing the angry Kesler off. He felt his phone buzzing in his pocket the third time and reached out for it. He looked at the screen to see the name ' Cassie ' displayed on it, and he swiped the screen up to answer." The Magnus of Wraith," her excited voice cooed over the phone causing him to smile," Hey Cassie,"" Miss me?"" Who wouldn't, exploring the business world has kept you away from us,"" It's not like that," she chuckled, " I've been busy with work and trying to convince my father that I'm capable of taking over the Moore corporation,"" I totally understand, hope you've been good?"" Yes, and guess what,"" What?"" I'm coming back home," she announced excitedly and Magnus chuckled," Wow, that's exciting. Does Larsen know?"" Of course he doesn't, I'm going to make it a surprise, I wanted to come to visit today but the sudden announcement made me move it to tomorrow,"" What announcement?"" Tomorrow is the blood moon,"" Are you just aware
The previous actions of Larsen weren't something Elia could disregard; his thought was fixed on Larsen's tone, body language, and eyes. Elia's drive to the clubhouse was a quiet one but with a busy mind. It moved from his brother to the slave who seems to be the center of it all, Elora. He admitted that she was a very beautiful she-wolf even with the little dirty slave gown, her unbrushed hair, and her plain face with no makeup. A little doll up on her, and she would transform into a goddess, but it wasn't her beauty that got him so curious and interested, but the mysterious things that surrounded her. Remembering clearly how his friend, Mathew, was so scared and worried about crossing part with her, and the next minute, he was stabbed to death by her. ' was it that it was my brother that ordered her to do it?' he questioned in his mind, ' no, it can't be; he wasn't even aware that he was around; then what happened between her and Matthew?.' ' Also, why did Larsen act like that? So
It was getting dusk already. Elora wasn't as excited as others who got selected to go on board, to the cruise ship; she looked at the new maid uniform in her hand; it was better looking than the slave cloth she was wearing. It was of black and white color, the apron tied around the waist, the collar, and the tip of the gown hand were of white color. She looked at the nine others that are quickly changing into the new clothes with excitement." Why aren't you changing?" Vicky nudges." Nothing," she shook her head and began to undress.Ten slaves working in the mansion were hand-picked to work at the ship tonight; they did not pick any of the slaves that were meant to serve the Alphas alone, which was a disadvantage to those slaves as every slave dreamt about celebrating the night on the cruise and they envied those picked.They would be going on board to serve the elite that'll be at the VIP section, tend to their needs, serve them, and run errands, so Elora didn't find a reason to be
She heard Naya in her head, but she couldn't move; she couldn't do anything with her eyes fixed on her father. Elora has imagined this moment a thousand times—what she would say, how she would act, how she'd yell, what she'd ask him, how she'd scream or break down. But now, standing before the man who had stolen the life of her mother, the man who had stained her childhood love and memories with blood and betrayal, she felt… nothing. And everything. All at once.Elora felt a storm brewed in her chest, violent and suffocating, hatred crawled through her veins like fire, scathing every cell in her body. Her heart pounded erratically as if it couldn't decide between shattering or bursting into flames. She could still hear the whimpers of that night, all over again, replaying so clearly and vividly like it happened the day before—the shaking legs of her mother pinned to the floor, the hands of her best friend pinning her legs, and the image of his father when he strangled her. The images
Now it was Larsen's turn to be confused. He stared back at her in the not-so-bright room, squatting close to her enough to hear her words that were almost like whispers." Why are you confusing me?" she asked feeling so exhausted." How am I confusing you?" he asked back genuinely," I don't know, I don't if to hate you or not, I don't know if you're innocent or not, one minute you're soft, the next, you're the most annoying alpha ever,"" I thought you hated me. You've hated me from day one, so how come you don't know if to hate me," he asked in a soft tone that was almost seducing her." I misunderstood you, I thought you ordered the game that killed many werewolves the second day I arrived,"" Seriously? And you hated me because of that?"" Not only that, but you're also very annoying," she said looking away, " and why did you bring me here?"" Looks like you needed it,"" How did you know that?"" It was written all over you,"" Why did you care?."Larsen sighed from the questions
Kesler and Damien cheered to the moon, sitting beside each other at the well-covered round table. Every werewolf was in a celebratory mood; howls and low yips were indistinct to their ears as they were both concealed in their thoughts. A lot of werewolves have gathered at Kesler's pack to celebrate, including Damien, who looked forward to the day he'll rank higher, and werewolves would also come to his pack to celebrate the moon. " I can't shake him out of my mind, Damien," Kesler began, " the humiliation, his tone and eyes, I'm not going to let this go," " I already had the feeling it wasn't going to be easy, but never had the idea he was going to be that ridiculous," " He just didn't want to sell her, or he's just wanting to assert his domination and authority like he always does, that arrogant scum," Kesler gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, the thought of the humiliation causing his blood to boil each time he recollects. " Because of him, I can't seem to enjoy the night,
Her beauty is nothing like Elora's; neither does she have anything in common with her other than the blonde hair. He couldn't keep his mind off Elora, her pure and innocent face and smiles, her fierce character that was so unique and interesting. He missed her; he missed her so much that it made him angry.Why did she have to do that? Why did she have to ruin everything they'd built just like that as if it meant nothing to her?It makes him angry, it makes his blood boil, and he wants to do everything to make her regret making him feel this way.He trailed his thumb through Moraine's cheeks, that's so smooth and ran his eyes over her face; though she was not as beautiful as his Elora, he couldn't deny she was also a goddess herself." You're beautiful," his husky voice whispered as his thumb landed on her lips that parted slightly upon his touch.They locked eyes and stared into the lust that gradually consumed them. Moraine blinked her eyes, clearing her throat and she moved her face
Elora headed back to the mansion to carry out her duty; this time, she entered the room without feeling nervous about facing Larsen. She entered the room without knocking and met him checking himself out in the mirror, all dressed in black trousers and a shirt." Oh," she mouthed, not expecting to see him still in the room, " good morning, Alpha."She greeted, and he turned towards her and looked away coldly without giving a response. Elora pouted, not understanding why he did not respond. She made to start cleaning the room when her toe bumped into the wooden edge of the bed." Ouch!!," she winced, grabbing her toe that felt like it was about to come off." Stupid," Larsen uttered and exited the room without paying her a second glance.Elora exclaimed in disbelief. She scoffed, and her face furrowed deeply in a frown." Didn't I tell you? He's such a jerk," she fumed, " what exactly did I do this time? I didn't look for trouble, so why didn't he answer me? Why is he so cold?" she ne
" 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,
