Forbidden love Chapter 19: Lisa
I noticed my mother from the kitchen. She had calmed down now. I can ask her what’s going on after she. has had some tea. But where did Marc go? He couldn’t have made the jump from the second floor. She would have heard something. Was he alright? “Mom, will you tell me now what’s happening with you? Yes. You told me not to work at SolTech but it’s a great company. I am heading the research division. Tobias offered me the job himself.”“He did what?” the ominous expression returned on her face. “You can’t be working for that man.” she told me. “Do you know him? Why don’t you want me working for him?”“Do I have to answer every damn question? For once can’t you just accept what I am saying! Leave with me now. We can speak when we get home.” she kept going without caring for my feelings. “Home? This is home. I am home. You don’t meet me for five years. You call me once, maybe twice a year. And now suddenly, I have a home to get back to?” I was beginning to loose my patience. No matter
Forbidden love Chapter 20: Marc
Time to get to work. I need you to act tonight.” Tobias told me as soon as I stepped out of the car. When I saw Tobias waiting for me, I knew what this was going to be about. He had told me that one day he was going to need me to take on his enemy. The Tobias I know can take on anyone on his own. Why he needed me was something I never understood. I didn’t have the authority to question him. No one had ever stood up to the alpha and those who attempted were never to be heard from again. It was rumored that Tobias once fought alphas of three other packs on his own once. After beheading all of them bare hands, he had established himself as the head of all three groups. His pack is the largest in the country. What could a man as powerful as he be hesitant of. “She is in town. One of my men saw her at the airport. I have called The Five.” He continued. The five were the chosen amongst the pack. They were the closest to Tobias and did all his dirty work. Unmatched in their strength, they
Forbidden love Chapter 21: Veronica
I looked at my daughter standing to her bag. She is just like me. Took her five minutes to get her essentials in a small bag. Perhaps like me, she just tossed in a few clothes and a book. She was never materialistic. For now, I was relieved that she has agreed to leave. When I read in the news that Marc was getting married to Erica, I wanted to meet him and warn him. I was sure he had his reasons. We hadn’t spoken in years. He was only a boy when I met him last. No doubt, Tobias heared that I was in town and sent Mark to get me. Marc isn’t a threat. He would never cross me. He owed me that much. And if he chooses to defy me, that can be taken care of easily.I feel bad to have dragged Lisa through all this. I knew sending her to the city was a bad idea but when she got into her dream college, I couldn’t say no. She is passionate for her research. Like father, like daughter. Besdies, nobody had met her. Noone knew who she was. If I am being honest to myself, She doesn’t know who she is
Forbidden love Chapter 22: Lisa
Marc entered my apartment and almost kicked the door down. What was with this incredible strength? He had kicked the door once earlier tonight. I had felt that thud between my legs and now he was again, anger visible in her eyes and, something seemed to have changed. There was something different about him. I couldn’t tell what it was but he certainly wasn’t the man who was with me in the shower. “Veronica.” He nodded to my mother, ignoring me completely. “Marc. It’s nice to see you after all these years. So I guess, you two have already met?” Mom asked, gazing at the sincerity in his pose and words. She seemed to be on edge tonight. But now that Marc was back, Mom wasn’t on edge but on guard. Yes, she had changed her stance and kept her distance. Her voice was calm as she spoke to him but her body was still as if ready to jump at him. I had never seen her like that either. I felt like I didn’t know either of them. My body felt weaker still. Suddenly heat started to radiate from my
Forbidden love Chapter 23: Veronica
“What are you doing? Turn the car around now. We are going to the airport.” I was getting ready to bring the car to rest forcefully. Lisa had passed out and was in the backseat now. Had Marc joined Tobias? I didn’t want to fight him but it didn’t look like I had much choice, as he continued to drive into the city instead of the airport. “Veronica. I told you, The Five are on their way to the airport.”“What makes you think I am scared of them?” I was beginning to get restless now. “Remember who are you speaking with.” I didn’t care if The Five or Fifty showed up. I had to get my baby out of here. I clenched my palm into a fist and threw a punch at Marc. His head hit the driver’s seat window and he pressed on the brakes. He turned to face me immediately. “Veronica.” I quickly got out of the car and opened the door to get Lisa. “Listen,” he tried to speak, still recovering from my blow to him a few seconds ago. “Think for a second. Do you want her at the airport? Have you not realise
Forbidden love Chapter 24: Lisa
When I woke up, I was covered in sheets in a comfortable bed. The room was dark. Moonlight seeped in through the windows, downwards...Was I in a basement? The place was dusty. From the smell, I could tell that it hadn't been used for a while. After turning around, I saw a girl sitting awkwardly next to the bed on a chair. “I am glad you woke up. How are you feeling now?” she inquired. I looked around. Marc and Mom were nowhere in sight. I didn’t recognize the girl or the place. “I am better now. Where am I?” I offered. Her eyes beamed with happiness. “Oh brilliant. I have panic attacks too, you know? Sometimes I can’t breathe. Sometimes I have trouble standing. If it happens again, exhale with force, slowly. I can teach you a few tricks to control them better. Are you hungry? There’s no food here. But it’ll be here soon. Can I get you some water? Oh, wait. There’s no water here, it’s..”“On its way here?” I finished her sentence as she found her breath and calmed down. “HA. Yes.
Forbidden love Chapter 25: The Answer
“Sweetie, look. "The thing is," Veronica began to say, but knew Lisa wouldn't believe her no matter how she framed her sentences. Who’d believe any of what she was about to say?“Tia, would you like to come with me? In the meantime, maybe we can get some of your things. We need to be leaving soon.” Veronica said.Tia wasn’t allowed to go anywhere alone or with strangers. In fact, she wasn’t allowed to go anywhere if Marc wasn’t with her. She looked at Marc for permission who instantly nodded. A surprised Tia got up from her seat and followed Veronica who was almost out of the door.“Lisa. Are you okay?” Marc turned towards Lisa.She sat in silence for a moment before finally finding it in herself to speak up.“What’s going on, Marc? Is anyone going to fill me in?”“Your mom and I spoke while you were resting. We decided I should be the one to tell you. But before we begin, are you okay?”“I am fine." She replied, realising that her question wasn’t going to be answered just yet.“ I am
Forbidden love Chapter 26: Lisa
Lisa stepped back and the word seemed to echo within her. Ware-wolf? Really? He had the audacity to be sarcastic in such a moment. Did he think it was funny? My mom is clearly unhappy with Tobias. Marc is upset with Tobias. Marc and Mom are acquaintances. Marc has a little sister that didn’t come to the wedding. And now I am in some basement. As an explanation for all this, he threw a ridiculous word at me. I had had enough.“Get out of my way, Marc. I am not in a mood to joke. I’ve got to find Mom.”“Lisa.” That time his voice wasn’t how it always sounded. It was dense. He looked at me and I noticed the colour of his eyes change to crimson. I stood there without moving. For a second I was even terrified of breathing.It couldn’t be true. Shapeshifters are myths. No way Marc was one.“…”I opened my mouth but no words came out. In the moment, I lost my voice and, if I were to believe the evidence, then I lost my sanity as well.“Sit down.” His voice was extremely demanding and dominati
