''Leave now.'' Lucas barked. ''I'm not going. Remus, do you honestly think because you've got a wife now that I would leave you? You belong to me and me alone.'' Sophia said with a stubborn look in her eyes. ''Then i have no other option but to remove you.'' Lucas said. Before she could utter another word, his men invaded the kitchen, dragging her out in a split second. The loud music was good enough a cover to drown out her screams. ''I won't have you destroy this party.'' he snapped. Now he had done that, he knew the next thing to do was to go see her after all of this because the Sophia he knew would cause havoc and he wanted to avoid that as much as possible. ''I need to get to Italy tonight,'' he said. After the party, Lucas informed Aliyah that he was making a quick trip to Italy. Though she didn't understand what the hurry was, she had a feeling it had to do with work. ''I'll be back before you know it.'' Lucas smiled. And with that, he was gone. Three days later, he w
Amanda decided to leave where she had been sitting. She made her way towards the classes, in preparation for her next class. Just as she rounded the bend towards the classes, she heard a loud noise. Amanda froze, training her ears on the sound."What the hell is that?" She said quietly.She stood for a minute, listening to the sound to see if she would hear it again. A few minutes later, Amanda decided to forget about it all and continue moving but just as she took the first step, she heard the sound again.This time, it was louder and somewhat closer. Amanda decided to be brave and check out where the sound was coming from. She walked closer towards the source of the noise and realized with horror that the noise was coming from the principal's office."What in the world is going on in there?" Amanda said, fear lacing her voice.She walked closer, putting her ears on the door to hear what was going on properly. From what she could gather, there were a lot of movements within the offic
In Corrine's house, Aliyah recounted all that had happened to her friends. Corrine was getting much better as she tried to get over her mother's death. Corrine was one of Aliyah's friends who had been abroad as a result of her mother's death.She had missed all the action but Aliyah was ready to tell her everything. That's what she liked to do best."I told you that boy was a total douchebag. He's deranged and clearly needs to get his head checked." Jasmine said."I agree. Why would someone switch characters so easily, it seems as if he's possessed." Corrine said."It baffles me too. One minute he's silent, the next he's a beast." Aliyah said."Anyway, away from Augustus. Did you know Michael approached me today." Jasmine said."Wait what? Michael, the pack's football captain?" Aliyah said."The one and only." Jasmine said."Did he confess to writing those letters?" Corrine said, eagerly.A few weeks ago, Jasmine had been getting letters from a strange person and they had no idea who
"Amanda... I know what I'm about to say is hard but i have to ask this." Her uncle said.Amanda knew what he was about to say and she wasn't sure if she was ready to answer that. But thinking about it, she realized that it was best she answered."I want you to tell me everything you remember from that incident. I mean, the attacker's face, his physique... Anything at all." He said.Jamie who had gone to bring her an espresso walked in with a small smile on his face. He was sad, angry over what she had gone through but in that moment, there was nothing any of them could do but to try to find out who was behind this attack."Thank you." She smiled.She took a sip, placing the mug on the nearby. Parker who was beside her and refused to leave her side took her hands in his, giving it a gentle squeeze. He had been so scared, petrified and didn't know what to do. "I remember him as clear as the day. He was huge, very tall. He had a full beard that was unkempt and his eyes... His eyes were
AliyahSoon, I was ready for bed but still, I couldn't get Lucas words out of my head. It was getting annoying, having to think about what he said the whole time.''Get him off your head Aliyah.'' I snapped.My heart was restless but there was nothing actually I could do about it other than to calm down. That was the only thing I could do but it was easier said than done. I thought about other things, wanting to get my mind off of the main thing that was troubling me.That wasn't working and so, I decided to look through my phone to see what I could find in the gossip section. Nothing much was going on well except for the major coverage of my wedding to my billionaire husband. The photographer or whoever was behind the shots really did a good job in capturing the most important details of the wedding. It was all a buzz, something that would be remembered as a fun and special day for everyone else except me. I had to be the only person who wasn't feeling the energy at all.''All for n
"She's asleep." Parker said.They had just had dinner and everywhere was quiet. The only sound that could be heard was that of the mockingbird and some night animals that only came out at night."Okay. When do you think we should go see the attacker at the brotherhood coven?" Jamie asked.Parker thought about it for a while and he realized the best time for that would be the following day. For one, it wasn't a school day and Amanda would be at home with her uncle.Secondly, that was the only good time they could go because it would give them the opportunity to properly interrogate the attacker without fear that Amanda would get hurt."Tomorrow." Parker said."Okay then, that works for me. I'll just drop them a message that we'll be coming." Jamie said, tapping his phone.Soon, there was a ding from his phone which indicated that the message had already gone."Sent." Jamie said.They were in the living room, watching a rerun of one of their favorite soap operas. Jamie was just like his
"Babe, Jamie is leaving soon." Parker said.It was the next morning and they were all at the breakfast table when Parker announced this. It seemed more real, more true now that he was talking about it.For several months, Jamie had been a part of them, a family and now that he announced he was going just pushed them back into reality. It was very odd to say the least but the thing was there was nothing they could do about it.Jamie also had his own life for live and Parker wasn't about to stop him from living it."Really? You're leaving?" Amanda said with surprise in her eyes.She didn't know how to feel about it, it bothered her thinking about Jamie leaving. He had been a big part of this fight and still a big one and seeing him leave did something to her she couldn't understand.Parker saw her countenance change into a sad one and he felt for her. He actually knew how she felt and he wished he could do something, anything at all to help her.Jamie gave her hands a gentle squeeze, si
''He'll be fine kid, i know that.'' Patrick smiled, touching her shoulder.The doctor had left two hours ago but still, Aliyah was still at that exact same spot she had been since he left. She didn't even shake which made Patrick wonder if she was asleep but surprisingly, she wasn't.''Yes.'' she simply said.Lucas hadn't woken up since the surgery and the only thing they held onto was the steady breathing in the heart monitor.''We need to go. At least, for a change of clothes. Yours are bloody.'' he said.That was the moment Aliyah broke her eyes away from Lucas . She stared at her clothes af if seeing it for the first time. There were so many emotions in her eyes, some of which Patrick couldn't make out.''I'm not going anywhere.'' Aliyah said, finally.The resolve in her eyes was what scared Patrick even more than the actual words. It was final and unyielding and he knew that even though he tried to convince her otherwise, she would pay him no attention because her mind was alrea
''Thank you.'' Parker said.Amanda who had been in the middle of waking up and sleeping yawned as she opened her eyes. She had just had the best sex ever and she knew that in time to come, she would never forget any of this. Parker made her feel like a woman, a woman who was dignified and not like those other women men used, stories she had heard from her friends.''For what?'' Amanda asked.''For starters, for doing this with me. I know you can easily get your pick from all the numerous men out there but you chose me. That means something to me.'' Parker smiled.He moved closer to her, taking her warm hands in his. He couldn't quite believe he had a beautiful woman in his bed. It all seemed like a dream but Parker knew it was no dream, it was real. As real as it could get.''You don't have to thank me. I love to be with you just as you are to me so no need to thank me. All we have to figure out now is how to manage this without letting anyone else know about it.'' Amanda said.Parker
"How do you feel baby?"Amanda asked.It's been a few days since Parker was attacked and to say he made a speedy recovery would be an understatement, it was amazing.At the beginning, when it first happened, Amanda had her doubts whether he would recover but at the end, he not only surprised her but everyone who knew.Jamie and Amanda both knew that it was his strength that saved him but at the same time, Parker was so strong on his own that nothing could actually hurt him."I'm okay baby, you don't need to worry about me. I told you to stop asking about me, I'm more concerned about you. Tell me darling, how do you feel?" Parker asked.That was just one thing about him. Even though he was in pains, he would still make sure she was alright. That was the kind of man she loved and Amanda was quite glad she got him."Asides being scared that you might not make it, I'm okay over all." She smiled.Parker leaned closer to her, giving her a warm kiss on her lips.This was the best moment for t
‘’The Dremis’s have sought for outside help.’’ Aliyah began.If Lucas was surprised to hear this, he hid it well. For a group not so grounded as the Dremis’s, he had a feeling that they might likely have sought outside help. Now, it was happening and he didn’t know what to make of it. ‘’Wow! Really, wow!’’ Lucas said.‘’I know, that was my initial expression when he told me this.’’ Aliyah said.With those words, she had committed herself and she knew it was best for her to tell him everything at that moment because he would never stop until he found out what she really meant by those words.‘’Diabla, what do you mean?’’ Lucas asked.Aliyah sighed, taking a deep breath. She didn’t want to be seen as a traitor. Even though she was the head and could do as she pleases, her loyalty still remained with her group and she would rather die than compromise that.‘’I lied when i told you i went to see the accident victim.’’ Aliyah said.‘’I knew you were lying but I just didn’t know where you
Lucas was getting ready to leave his office when he received a call from Aliyah. He had been expecting her call and he was quite glad when he saw her name flash on his screen. Ever since his first kidnap, he had also been very careful on how he moved about.He didn't want to do anything that would cause her pain or put himself in a position that wasn't good at all. He needed to be careful now because a baby, his child, was also in the picture.Lucassmiled broadly and picked it up. He heared gushes from her as she thanks him for the dress. He knew she was going to do this but still, he was surprised at how enthusiastic she sounded. This just told him that she actually appreciated the gift and within him, he planned to give her more gifts as the day went by.''Hey baby, I see you like your new dress.'' he smiled.''Aliyah, I not only like it, I love it. Thank you so much.'' Aliyah gushed.She had always been a sucker for pretty dresses and anytime anyone gifted her one, she never faile
"Oh my gosh! No no no. It's not going through." Aliyah said.She had been trying to mind link Lucas ever since but the damn server was being distrusted by something or someone. It was very frustrating to say the least."Oh my gosh! What's going on? Where's Lucas?" Aliyah asked, pacing about.She gripped her phone in her hands, pacing about with tears streaming down her eyes. If anything were to ever happen to Lucas, Aliyah knew she'd never forgive herself nor him because she had warned him not to go anywhere but his stubbornness and insistence to go had caused him a whole lot."What's happening?" She asked.Patrick rushed in at that moment, panthing in her normal form. Aliyah had called her when she couldn't get a hold of Lucas because in that moment, she knew it was only Patrick that could calm her down."You still haven't gotten a hold of him?" Patrick asked, morphing back to her normal form."No and the worst part of it all is that the mind link seems to be scrambled somehow." Aliy
"Babe, I need to get to another town this evening. I need to pick up something from my office there." Lucas said. It was early in the morning, with the birds singing in the air and the morning animals chirping in the forests round about them. It was also the day of the anniversary, the day when both Aliyah and Lucas would be in their strongest form. "You realize what day it is today right?" Aliyah asked. Lucas knew but still, he knew he had to take the trip. It was very important not only to him but to the entire company and he wouldn't trade it for anything else. "This is important to me Aliyah, you've got to understand." He said Aliyah didn't know what was more important than staying home when he clearly knew that going out on a anniversary day was not a good decision. "Can't it wait till the following day?" Aliyah asked. "It honestly can't. If I could, I wouldn't bother going today." Lucas said. Aliyah thought about it and judging from the look in his eyes, she knew it had
LucasI couldn't lie to myself that what Slyvia said hurt me a whole lot. The bite and sting in her voice hurt me a lot but the last thing I would do was to see how much she hurt me. I would rather eat sand than allow her to see that she actually got to me.''Bitch!'' I hissed.Her disgusting attitude and behavior was going to get her into trouble one day and I would be there to watch her downfall and also laugh at her.I made my way back to my room. There were many things I needed to do and the earlier I got on with it, the better for me. I didn't have time to worry about someone like her when there were other things I could worry about.Slyvia was of no importance to me and in that moment, I knew I needed to put her in her place. That was the best thing I could do to someone like her.''So… how did it go?'' a voice said.I didn't need to look back to know that it was Patrick who spoke. He was very inquisitive as well as nosey and would always want to know everything that was going o
"Parker, let's go make some cookies." Amanda said.She was in the mood to eat and actually make some of the delicious cookies with Parker. With him, she always felt safe, like nothing could actually go wrong which was her own safe space."Now?" He asked."Yes, or don't you?" Amanda asked.Not that she'd be angry about that but she just knew that the next time she decided to make it, she wouldn't have the energy to."I'm game." Parker smiled.Together, they made their way towards the kitchen, holding hands like lovestruck teenagers. Sometimes, they couldn't get a hold of themselves which at times was very annoying especially to Jamie who couldn't stand them at all."If Jamie was here, you know he'd probably shout at us for being so cringy." Amanda laughed."Yeah... Yeah, I told the guy to get a girlfriend but he feels so reluctant about it. I'll probably talk to him about it again." Parker said."Is he scared of commitments?" Amanda asked.That was the only thing that came to her mind
"Yo! Parker, I have to get out for a while." Jamie said.His plan was to go to the brotherhood's office to tell them that he would be leaving soon. It hurt him to leave but he had to get back to his mother and also finish up his school."Okay, stay safe bro." Parker said from the inner room.He was helping Amanda with some of her homework which some of her friends had mailed to her. It was off to say the least because it was usually the other way around with her teaching him. But if there was one thing Parker was good at, it was English literature.When it came to that, he was champion, nobody could beat him in that and it was no wonder he aced all his papers in that aspect."Will do." Jamie said.He left the house, shutting the door firmly. Ever since Amanda was attacked in school by that crazy monster, she'd been taking home lessons which was safer and both Parker and her uncle could keep an eye on her.Her uncle who had planned to leave before might not be leaving in a long time.
