SKYLARI needed a fucking bath and then a drink.I stumbled into the bathroom, pouring myself a stronger glass of liquor and then dunking myself into the bathtub and turning up the hot water while sobs racked me.I felt lost, rejected and thoroughly used.I do not know how long I stayed in the bathtub but a knock jolted me from my misery.“Skylar!” My sister’s muffled voice came through.“For Christ sake, what the fuck are you doing in there?” She snapped.“What the fuck do you want?” I shot back.“Come on out, this minute before father realizes that you are missing” She muttered.“I will join you all soon”She said nothing and so I presumed she was gone.I put on a light makeup, staring into the hollowness that was my eyes and then I donned my dress recalling that he had walked out of here with my panties.I took a deep breath, straightening my spine and slipping out of the room. If he wanted to be an asshole then I wasn’t going to waste another minute of my time thinking about him
I was sated and thoroughly fucked.I could not stop the stupid grin on my face from spreading till my cheeks hurt.“Speechless?” The man beside me muttered, wrapping one hand around my waist.“Stunned” I responded, snuggling in closer.“Good.” He said, kissing me on the forehead.He was different…The first time had been very gentle, almost like I was some wounded bird he did not want to hurt and do not get me wrong, I enjoyed gentle.But this? It was mind blowing and earth shattering that it took a while for me to catch my breath.“I want to go on to call you kitten but I think I should know your name at least” He said.I stilled against him, my worst fears coming true.What was his deal with my name and why was he asking for it again.“Skylar” I muttered, rising to gaze at him dead in the eye.“My name is Skylar Wolfbane” I said again.His eyes darkened.It was a repetition of what had happened before with a slight difference. Earlier he had been agitated and said over and over agai
SKYLARFIVE YEARS LATER“You should come to your sister’s engagement party, Skylar. I sent you an invitation” my mother’s voice washed over me.“You are calling me right now because you want to invite me to your daughter’s engagement? What happened to the years before now?” I asked.She said nothing at first but I heard her sigh.“I did not call now for us to speak about this” She said.Of course she didn’tIt would be the first time she had called me in five years since her husband, my father threw me out of the house to fend for myself.He claimed if I was not ready to provide the name of the man who had knocked me up then I was better off dead to him.Nobody pled my case as I left but five years later and I could almost laugh out loud when I looked back at that moment in my life.Five years later and I was a self made woman.The rich fashion designer and a mother.I had kept the baby… well twin babies against all odds.“I will see if I am free and fit her engagement into my schedul
CHAPTER 5SKYLARMy eyes slowly flickered open, the world around me felt blurry, and I was trying to make out my environment.How the hell did I get here?There was a bright light shining above me, the ray so bright causing me to momentary shot my eyes. What do I remember?Freya! The word echoed in my head. Freya’s engagement party.“Welcome back, Kitten, we thought we lost you there for a moment,” a deep baritone voice echoed from the far end of the room and I unfurled my eyes.Shit, I struggle to sit up as it was all coming back to me that moment. My eyes met the two men, who stood before me, they were a splitting image of one another.They both had brown eyes, they both had chiseled jawlines, and they both had broad shoulders that were backed up with protruding biceps. They both had black hair, although the man by the left who was dressed more casually had more messy hair, but the other man by the right, who Freya had introduced as her Fiance didn't have a single hair out of pl
LOGANShe had been the most beautiful woman that night. It was regretful once I had found out who she was, but I couldn’t deny the fact. I could still remember how she had glared at me with her pretty eyes and I might be considered a psychopath, but it turned me on even more. “Kitten.” “What do you want?” she snapped back in reply.Everything about her screamed fire. Her eyes were spitting fire at me and the fire in her voice went straight to my groin and my dick began to twitch in my pants. I knew then, that I must fuck her. “Now, do not be rude,” I muttered as she turned to face me. Really, I was looking down at her lips and wondering how it would feel to kiss her. “I should be the one telling you not to be rude, don’t you think?” she scoffed at me with a glare. The fire in her eyes only made my dick twitch harder. I needed to have her on my dick. “Have we met?” I knew my eyes were darkening, but what she wouldn’t know was that it was now a pool of lust. “What are you doing? W
LUCAS“My little dove, my mate,” I murmured to myself. I was alone in the car waiting for my fiancee to come and I couldn’t seem to get her sister out of my head. That night had been magical, I thought to myself as I rested head on my hands that were holding the steering wheel, my head drifting back to that night. This is boring, I realized internally as I looked around. I quickly downed the contents of the wineglass in my hand, then dropped the empty glass on the next waiter’s tray. The party was loud, lavish, noisy... everything but fun. My head began to throb, a sign that I needed a breath of fresh air. I headed outside immediately, not stopping till I was completely off the premises. I need a long walk, I figured as the gate swung close behind me. I began to cross the road and stopped suddenly as I felt eyes burning into my back. I glanced up. There was a lady standing on the balcony, looking down at me. I couldn’t make out her features, but there was a certain pull I felt th
SKYLAR“Skylar, you came.” It was my mother. She sounded like she was confused as to whether she wanted to be excited or not.I had been invited to dinner by the family that had abandoned me when I needed them the most and I had honored the invitation. You just want their validation, a voice whispered in my head. I clenched my fists as I knew it was true. I wanted them to acknowledge me, that was why I had worked so hard to make myself. I desired that they see I hadn’t needed them to be successful, that I was doing fine on my own. I nodded a small nod in her direction, then picked up the serviette and placed it on my lap. I was already seated on the dining table, waiting for the food to arrive. The dining room was empty but for me, and now my mother. My mother stood awkwardly at the door, contemplating whether to come in or not. She decided against it and left, leaving a tense silence behind her. “Why is the silence so uncomfortable? It’s just me,” I mumbled. Just then, the door
SKYLAR I had managed to ignore the spark that had been between us, the electrifying pull that was dragging me to him earlier in the dining. It all proved to no avail as I walked closer to him... well, my car actually. I’ll just get into my car and ignore. I planned internally. As I got closer, I realized that he was standing directly in front of the driver’s door. There goes my plan to bolt. I knew there was no way he would let me get in and drive away without achieving his purpose of standing there. “Hi,” he softly murmured as soon as I was close to him.I nodded in response and made to pull open the car door, but he swiftly stepped in front of me, blocking the handle from my view. I inhaled deeply which I realized was a big mistake as soon as his cologne wafted into my nostrils, going straight to my head and making me lightheaded. I took a couple of steps backwards, putting in some space between us. “Hey,” I replied with a polite smile. “You’re in front of my car. Please, if y
LucasIt was taking longer to get home, and I began to worry about what had happened to Skylar. I urged Logan to drive much faster. "The children are in the car. We should be more cautious about how we accelerate." Logan told me."Skylar is home and in danger. We should be more cautious about how we handle the situation." I answered, and he let out a deep sigh before accelerating the car. I was considering urging him to slow down the car, but I had previously challenged him once. Something ruptured the tires just as we were about to drive down the next street, causing the control to veer unevenly.My eyes widened as I clutched the children closer to me. I closed my eyes, and Logan struggled to handle the car until we collided with a tree and came to a stop. Logan's head rested on the driving wheel, and I could feel myself fading away gradually. After what felt like a lifetime, I awoke from my daydream, and it appeared like Logan was also waking up. We clambered out of the car as ou
Skylar I dropped the call, and turned to face Freya, pretending I hadn't heard that she orchestrated the plot. I took a few long breaths and proceeded to sit right next to her, but the look on her face was unsettling. "Have the kids been found?" Freya inquired, but I simply giggled in an attempt to disregard the question. "I know the kids have been found." She spoke shortly after. "Then why did you have to ask me?" I responded, attempting to draw away from her, but she pushed closer, her eyes glistening with horror. "I could even sense that from your demeanor.""But why are you doing that? Freya, how dare you? I challenged her, knowing she was aware of my knowledge of her role in the kidnapping plot, but she reacted with a gruff giggle."I don't need a reason," she continued, her voice as calm and gloomy as possible. "I despise you with all my soul and would like you to experience pain.""You are not at my standard at all, so how do you hope to have great things?" I questioned her
LoganI expected Lucas to talk about notifying Skylar about this, but as I picked up my phone to call her, Lucas stopped me and showed me. He turned up the volume on the speaker, and we could all hear it perfectly. "Hello, Skylar. Are you fine?" I asked, trying to keep my comments as quiet as possible so she wouldn't suspect anything yet. "I am fine. I feel great. How is the situation now?" She inquired, her tone full of desire. "Skylar, guess what?" I questioned, about to tell what was on her mind, but I sensed she was either thinking we'd seen the kids and rescued them, or that we'd arrived and discovered they were dead."Skylar!! We found the kids!" Logan yelled, and she could hear the two boys behind her speaking quietly. She screamed with pleasure over the phone, and the sound deafened me as I pondered how she would have raised her voice from where she was. I pulled the phone back to my ears, taking it from the loud speaker as I spoke sincerely with her, glancing at Lucas the
Chapter 111Lucas's POVLogan did not ask me what I did to Jackson, but the look on his face indicated I had possibly killed him. We understood ourselves well, but we didn't relate. I'm sure he knows I killed my Beta to defuse the situation. Sparing someone that horrible would only wreak disaster. What tempted him to do that shit with Freya?The children trembled in the car, and their lips shook violently. They were exhausted from the bindings around their necks, and their lips appeared lame."Can you speak, Andrew? If you can't, don't say anything just yet. We genuinely care about you and do not want anything terrible to happen to you." Logan spoke from the driver's seat. "Yes, I can," Andrew exclaimed. I was ready to hear him out now. Logan turned his attention back to see the kids' expressions as they explained what they had in mind "It happened when Mum gave us to someone who would drive us to our destination as usual. And then we recognized the man driving us wasn't Lucas, but
SkylarMy stomach churned as I gripped the walls. I'd been feeling weak for quite some time, especially since Logan and Lucas had gone ahead to find the kids. I was also silently praying that nothing bad happened to them. I prayed they wouldn't get lost while trying to save those who had gotten lost. If there was one thing I was truly afraid of, it was my children being killed, harmed, or even lost in the hands of someone I did not know. The more I blamed myself for putting the children's lives in danger by failing to check who was driving, the weaker I felt. Dana met my gaze, and I nodded briefly. She rushed to meet me, dropping her head."I did not call you. I was just staring at you. Anyway, what are you up to?" I asked, sighing heavily. "Actually, Angela is about to leave, and I'd like to accompany her and make something for lunch. You haven't eaten in days, and it's definitely affecting you. Just be patient while we go and come back. We won't take too long," she replied, and m
FreyaWhen I realized how far I'd gotten with my dark arrangements, a big grin spread across my lips. The morons around me believe the deception, but just now, I was overjoyed that my plan had been fulfilled. I had no idea when mom entered the living room and stood in front of me, wondering if I had gone insane. "Why are you zoning out?" She questioned suspiciously. "Oh, mum, you're here," I murmured, rising to my feet before settling back into the chair. I was literally hyper, and I knew why. "I had an absolutely fantastic day. "Isn't it worth smiling at?" I inquired, a huge smile forming on my chin. She shrugged her shoulders and took a step nearer, focusing her eyes at me as if she suspected something else. "I love you so much and truly mean it. If there's anything I can do to assist you deal with the bitch, please let me know. I'll definitely help you," she murmured, but I stroked her back while she stroked mine."Huh?" She inquired again, possibly assuming I didn't recogniz
LucasWe argued for several minutes about who was to blame for our relationship's issues, but he never agreed. He had made some claims that were all lies!We ultimately arrived at where we would park our cars. I took a big breath as we both exited the car. Suddenly, we were working together again. Our current motivations had shifted. "Please keep your composure as we enter. Logan told me, "This is the main reason we came here." I nodded. We both pushed a smile to our faces to indicate that we were no longer annoyed with one other, at least for the time being.Then we crept into the place. The location that the signal sent us to. My sight shifted to the figures at a close range. The boys were truly tied up and crying."Oh my goodness!" Logan muttered, pressing his fists to his chest as he went to untie the children. I looked around to check if anyone was around, but I couldn't see anyone. I rushed into this haven, ensuring that my pistol was still in my pocket, in search of Jackson.
LoganI'd been on the road for a few minutes, and Lucas's question was nagging me. I wanted to offer him the most accurate answer, but do I even know what it is? "I'm actually surprised that you're asking me this," I remarked to him, reducing the car's acceleration now that we were so near to our destination. "I do not hate you, and I never have. When it comes to leaving you behind for an extended period of time, I believe you should also discuss yourself. You're too busy to join me for lunch or dinner. Wait, why would we even do that?""That is exactly my issue. You don't care about it, and you've did not make an effort to make this work between us.""Do not state this as if it were a girl-boy relationship. We should be close to one another. Of course. However, I believe that efforts to achieve this should come from both sides, not just myself. Don't you understand what I am saying?" I spoke back to him. "Of course. Skylar has always been busy, but taking her to lunch was somethin
LucasI walked home when I couldn't find the signal, as we had previously agreed. I took several calm breaths and returned home, where I listened to the toys transmitting radio waves. Skyler was there alongside me, but she didn't know how these things worked. "Did you find anything yet?" She inquired, her tone filled with concern and dread."Please be patient. Logan is also investigating, and we'll get to the bottom of this soon." I said, took a big breath, and ultimately received the signal. When she noticed my eyes widening, she realized I'd spotted something which had captured my attention.Logan entered as well, and that was the very first thing I mentioned."I found the signal!" I said, and a huge grin formed on his lips just as he was going to lean back on the sofa and take a break from a lot of hard work "We need to get going now. We don't have the time to waste." He spoke to me, and Skyler moved closer to us. I clutched her waist and planted a fast kiss on her chin. She smi
