PRECIOUS There hidden behind the toilet was a small black box, looking more like a wedding ring. My heart fluttered with butterflies in my tummy as I stared at the object which had kept me fidgeting for a long time now. “I finally found you!” I shouted excitedly, doing a little jump before I bent down and picked it up. I held the box like I had won a jackpot when realization hit me like a block of ice. My room wasn't the convenient place he was talking about; rather it was here, this toilet. I face palmed before chuckling softly. How did I miss this? I quickly lifted the lid of the blood and my eyes widened at the content. Blood rushed into my whole body, causing me to shudder with goosebumps making their way all over me. My left hand flew to my mouth, trying to stifle the scream that I knew was bound to come out. My body was quivering with excitement and I quickly took the beautiful diamond necklace and held it in my hand, all the while my eyes were full of tears. I blinked
PRECIOUS All eyes turned to me and I shut my eyes and took in enough air into my system. When I opened them again, I saw all my standing with smiles on their faces. As though with one mind, they spread out their arms at the same time and I rushed and hugged them all, each of my arms secured around Nate and Tiger. The rest hugged me from the back and I fought hard to take back the tears which were threatening to spill down my face. “Thank you very much for the gifts,” I muttered, and I felt someone caress my hair but I didn't know who it was and I didn't care. Because at that moment, I felt happy and secured staying in their arms. I wanted to remain there forever but I couldn't, sighing as they released me. Duke wrapped an arm around my shoulder and winked at me. He brought his hand to my face and wiped away my tears. I smiled gratefully at him and rested my head on his hard chest. I shuddered, feeling his racing heart which I knew was beating for me. I caught Alpha Rodriguez's e
PRECIOUS I had been up since dawn, making preparations for the quintuplets' birthday party. I asked Alpha Rodriguez two days ago to let me handle the preparations, and he had been more than happy to oblige. I typed fast on my system, making sure that my invitation letter was up in order which I was going to send to some of our neighboring packs. The quintuplets didn't have an idea about a party, because I wanted to surprise them with it. I guess they don't even remember that it was their birthday in two days time. They had been busy in taking care of things and Alpha Rodriguez told me privately that he was going to step down as Alpha of the pack on their birthday so that my position as the Luna of the pack would be more valid. Although I knew that was not the reason he was trying to back down from the pack, he had after all served the pack for a long time and it was time for him to sit back and let his sons take over things. I glanced at the last words I had typed down and nodded
PRECIOUS Ruby was sitting beside Katya, the lady who would be decorating the house for us. Katya seemed to be showing her something which I guessed was the source of their laughter. I stepped closer towards them and Katya raised her hair, noticing my presence. She was a brunette with long and straight hair. She looked surprised to see me and I cocked my eyebrow up, and she nudged Ruby who turned to face me. I saw her breath catch in her throat and a fleeting emotion flushed over her face. She gave a slight cough and I forced out a smile before making my way to the seat on my right hand side. Even though I was planning on inviting her to my mates' birthday party, I still did not think she had any right to come over without informing me especially after I had made it clear to her the last time she was here that her presence wasn't appreciated. She sure has some guts. “Greetings, Luna.” Katya bowed, her senses coming back to her but I did not shift my attention from Ruby, who
PRECIOUS When I got inside and shut the door behind me, I saw Ruby reading a book on the desk. I walked towards her and stood by her side. If she seemed to notice my presence, she didn't let it show. “I don't want my mates to find out about the surprise party that I'm planning for them.” I said after a while, watching her flip through the pages as she continued reading. She didn't look up but nodded in understanding. “Yes, I'm aware. I know how to zip my mouth so don't worry.” “I may need your help with some few things and hey, I don't like how things are so awkward between us.” I announced. She looked startled for a while before collecting herself almost immediately. She placed a finger on the page she was reading and looked up at me. Her brows were creased and I kept my hands on the desk, holding her gaze. “Yes, I know I would want to do things alone but having two ladies take care of things isn't that bad after all, right?” I frowned when she did not reply, but suddenly
PRECIOUS “Are you sure that is a good idea?” I paused on what I was planning on doing. I had informed Ruby about my plan of decorating the house while my mates were fast asleep and so she came up with this idea of drugging their drinks. She patted me on the back and gave me a curt nod but I was yet to be convinced. I still couldn't believe the fact that I was going to be doing this to my mates. I know it's nothing bad, just some sleeping pills but I knew this was going to make them jet jagged and on their own birthday party for that matter. “Do it Precious, they are going to love the surprise tomorrow morning.” Michelle sang in my head. “Don't worry about the effects because I already informed their wolves what they have planned and they promised to help them tomorrow so you see, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.” She chirped happily, and ever since I forgave her for what she did to me, she had been distant—maybe still feeling guilty—but helpful. “You sure I can trust
PRECIOUS By the time I went downstairs, I saw Katya already seated with Ruby beside her, both were already waiting for me. I checked the time on the wall to see it was twenty three minutes past seven, and we needed to be fast so that Katya could go back home. When they both spotted me, they got immediately and walked up to me. “You have everything ready?” I pointed at the things on the floor. If I had magic, I would have simply used my wand to do all these but I'm only but a mere wolf. Katya nodded vehemently, as she started bringing out all the things that she needed. “We need to decorate the house first before we can move over to the tables and the rest.” She explained while I nodded, it was her specialty so I kept my mouth shut and let her do her work, with Ruby and I assisting her when needed. **** All the seats have been decorated with their favorite colors, and I was eagerly waiting to see the expression on their faces when they saw the whole place. We finished all
RICHMOND Someone tapped me lightly on the arm and I stirred from the amazing sleep I was having, and opened my eyes. I yawned widely and shut my eyes again. I didn't want to wake up, can't they just let me be? I was really stressed yesterday and I deserve to have a rest without any disturbance. “Wake up, sleepyhead.” Someone giggled beside me, shaking my shoulder and I smiled, recognizing my mate's voice. I flew open my eyes to find her watching me with her cute eyes, and the next thing I knew, which was least expected, she jumped on me and laid on my chest. I sighed, enjoying the moment but I knew it was not going to last seeing as she's dressed as if prepared to go out. “Get up you sleepy head,” she kissed one of my nipples while rubbing the other with her hand. I grabbed her hand and pushed her so that I was now laying on top of her. She blinked her eyes, her mouth hanging open as she watched me in silence. I loved what I was seeing, the expectant look on her face, and
"Spill," he said, sitting up on the ground as he tried to regain his strength by filling up oxygen into his already depleted body."You will promise to return every penny you and your family owe Beatrice."Lionel stared at him in a flabbergasted manner for a while. He would never have thought that he would ask him something like this. He knew refusing was going to cost him a lot, and he was no fool to bet properties to that of his sister's life or probably his too.But there’s no way he was going to fulfill that part of his promise. Even Francis was aware of this fact as well, which was why he had a backup plan."Deal," he said, getting up from the ground and extending a hand for a handshake. But Francis looked at it as though it was infected by leprosy.Biting back his words, Lionel lowered his hand to his side."Take me to where you hid my girl." Lionel heard the possessiveness in his tone and he couldn't help but wonder what sort of relationship he had with his stepsister. The thou
Lionel's body stiffened at the coldness in the voice of the stranger with his sister's phone. His hold on the phone suddenly became strong, as though he was going to smash it into little chalk flakes.He swore under his breath to deal with whoever was toying with his family. That person was causing his mom and sister to be afraid of him, and he did not like that. He was the son of a very prominent man, and he wouldn't let someone bully him just like that."Where do I find you?" He grounded out the words in anger. Anger consumed him, but he knew he needed to stay calm if he wanted to see his precious little sister again.Francis, on the other side, chuckled slightly but remained quiet for a moment. He was considering playing a little game with the family, but at the same time, he was weighing whether or not they were worth his time.He had wasted his precious little time trying to save the princess in distress, but he had not found her yet."You are wasting my time!" Lionel fired angri
Francis dragged the unconscious body of Violet out of his room and led her towards his car. He unlocked his car and laid her on the back seat before cleaning his bloodied hands on the space on her dress that was without blood.He sat behind the wheel before driving towards her residence.Flashback,After her blunt refusal to tell him where she kept Beatrice, he sliced the knife on her neck, and her blood spilled out of her, staining both herself and him before dripping on the floor.A loud yelp left her mouth when the pain shot through her spine. Her eyes trained on the floor, they widened in disbelief as she stared at her own blood flowing into a puddle on the floor.She raised her elbow and hit him, and the knife in his hand fell down, but he didn't let her take it as his hold on her body tightened. Francis pushed a finger into the hole he created on her body, and she cried out in pain.Using his left hand, he grabbed her two hands and wrung them together as his teeth clanged togeth
Silent but hot tears flowed down her face as the echo resounded in her ears. She was not ready to meet her mother any time soon, and she couldn't think of ways to get out of the dungeon she was in.Her head started hurting, and she knew it was due to the numerous times she had hit her head on the floor. Placing her hands on her head, Beatrice massaged it.There was no hope left in her. The only hope she had was taken away from her when the message she sent to Mr. Francis was deleted.Tears of sorrow poured down her face continuously, her heartbeat increasing by the minute, fear clutching her heart, and her mind flying in so many places."What do I do now? How do I get out of here?" she asked no one in particular. The only thing that met her was silence and the eeriness she felt in the godforsaken place.No one had come to see her since she was left here. She had planned on begging them again when they came to check on her, and it's been hours already since she heard that sound.The on
“Who are you and what the hell do you want from me?” she said through gritted teeth, her tone cold, which made her appear dangerous for her age. Francis tipped his head backward, his eyes appraising her from head to toe. He found her demeanor amusing, and a chuckle escaped his mouth. His continued silence in response to her questions infuriated her, and she clenched her fists as her chest heaved up and down. “Why are you laughing? Do I look funny to you?” Violet snapped. She walked up to him, standing just a few feet away, her eyes boring into his, and she stomped her foot impatiently. “I demand answers!” Francis's chuckle intensified. “You really are a funny, dumb girl. I can see that.” His expression changed abruptly from a smile to a hardened glare, his jaw grinding. He reached out and grabbed her by the hair, causing her face to contort in pain, a hurt whimper escaping her lips. Violet winced as he continued to yank her hair as if pulling out a weed from the soil. “What the
It was then that she heard hushed voices that she instantly recognized as belonging to her stepmother and two sisters. Sweat poured down her body, sticking her to the light material she was wearing when something caught her ears. “So you are saying that you killed that witch mom?” A hushed, happy voice of a girl rang out, and Beatrice, who recognized it as Chloe's, shuddered again. Her heart was beating wildly, and she covered her mouth with her hand to stop herself from screaming, thereby alerting them that someone was around. Tears poured out of her eyes, but she blinked them away and walked closer to the door, her body shaking uncontrollably. Beatrice took out her mobile phone from her bag, immediately put it on record, and held it closer to the door. “Yes, I killed the bitch, and I'm happy that I took the initiative to do that,” Beatrice's stepmother said in a proud tone, making Beatrice feel like slapping her from where she stood. “I would have loved it more if you had killed
Beatrice parked her car in front of the mansion she had always seen as a home before her stepmother and her three children changed things for her. She took a deep breath and moved a finger to her forehead before massaging it with a frown on her face. This was the first time she was returning home after being kicked out, and it was all due to Duke, the guy she met some time ago at the Wild Night club when she had gone there to distract herself from her problems, and she was glad she did. Taking her cellphone out of the miniature bag she carried, she dialed the number of the man who was helping her regain her parents' properties. "Good morning, sir. I'm at the residence right now. I just wanted to let you know I will be inside the building in a few minutes." Her voice sounded crisp, yet she tried hard to collect herself. "Alright, but please record every conversation for me. It will be required in court," Mr. Francis, the man Duke introduced to her to help her get back all her rights
We finally made it to the epilogue! I can't believe it because it still feels like a dream. This is my first book and I'm so happy at how far we have come.

PRECIOUS Duke covered my eyes with his hands, gently leading me to god knows where. Inhaling and exhaling divine air, I swallowed back my question, which I had asked for the hundredth times already. He was hell bent on not telling me or giving me as much of a hint of where he was taking me to. I could hear Richmond's chuckles behind us, but I said nothing and let Duke take me where he wanted. After all, I trusted him well enough to know this wasn't a small surprise. “Be careful of my old feet, honey.” I whispered, pulling my lower lip in between my mouth. “Not too old for my hands not to be able to massage them, prishy baby.” A tint of color made its way to my face, and I thanked the goddess that they were behind me, or else I would be teased until tomorrow. I still don't understand how I can still blush around them. It's been fifteen years already, yet I have not outgrown this attraction between us. Sparks still fly whenever we touch, and not a day passes without me thanking t
