The next day, Riella was awakened by the noise that seemed to be coming from downstairs. It sounded like there were a lot of moving and shaking noises below her. She jumped out of bed wondering what was going on...Was there a fight? Or where there are intruders in the house. She quickly put on a silk robe and wore it which covered up her see-through nightwear and immediately washed her face before sprinting down the stairs to the direction of the noise.She saw a lot of people...movers heading to and fro carrying things like furniture, pots, and frames. This made her pause as some of the people who saw her greeted her knowing who she was."That's the girl that Mr Koel kissed in front of city hall. I thought she was married to only Luther. Oh my God. Is she a slut for the brothers?" One of them whispered although they seemed to be far away from Riella so they assumed that they were safe and wouldn't be overheard but they seemed to forget that they were currently in the house of Werewo
"Andrew!" Koel called out a few moments later when the door opened and Andrew walked inside the training room."You called for me Master?" Andrew replied as Koel nodded his head."Teach her the basics of fighting. I'll come back later I need to see my brothers." He ordered as he spun around to corner the door but Gabriella couldn’t hide her doubtful fear as she tried to say something but Koel beat her to it."Don't worry, Andrew is less of a butler and more of a fighter. Trust me you are in safe hands with him." He said before leaving them to it.Gabriella looked away from the door with a little smile and Andrew reciprocated with a bigger smile to ease the tension around them."Good afternoon Miss. I am so happy that you have decided to consider some self-defense strategies; I promise to teach you all that I know." He said, his attention faltering as he picked a small dagger from the collection before handing it to her."I believe this will suit you more. Easier to hold and hide among
“Damn it....my plan didn't go according to how I wanted. All I did was manage to get the brothers tensed up and preparing for a fight." Mr K grumbled as he watched through the window, the traffic and car sounds below him, his forgotten cigar on the ashtray.It's been weeks since he had ordered the kidnapping of Clarissa but had lost men in that venture. Now she was free but it didn't work out, she had left the city according to the spies he had planted around to bring back useful information.This later caused a rift between the brothers as two of them were dead set on protecting their RENA while the eldest Cyrus had given them a wide berth but this wasn't what he wanted.He had to figure out a way out of this sticky situation soon before it would come as karma.He sighed as he massaged his temples when he was distracted by the phone ringing in the room on his table.He glared at it wondering bitterly who the hell could possibly be disturbing him then he made his way back inside prob
Staring intensely at Kyle’s receding figure, Gabriella bit her lips nervously as she darted furtively at her direction and the now vague sight of the party. After how many months of radio silence, he was finally in her sights and there was no Olive Edwards anywhere. But she didn't know why he was looking for her even though a part of her hoped that he had come to his senses and wanted her back after seeing that Olive wasn't his right mate.They were in one of the smaller rooms that was probably used for storage at this point due to how dusty it was and it seemed nobody would look for them here.Riella wondered briefly if she should have told Luther where she was actually going, so as not to get on his angry side but she remembered Luther talking to a lady who seemed to be very familiar with him, to the point of flirting. The fact that Luther didn’t attempt to put her in place wasn’t the problem for Gabriella but the murderous look she’s been receiving from the strange lady.Maybe
Cyrus Reign didn't even know why he came to the event, he had no reason to be present but he still made it; a part of him wanted to see Gabriella but he forced himself to believe that he just wanted to think of ways to hurt her. After all, she was the reason that he was no longer with Clarissa.He stood at the tallest empty floor where there was no one available in the vicinity which granted him full view of the party going on in the adjacent building. He could hear the drinks and celebration going on as the stupid humans were indulging themselves too much.Even from here, he could smell the thick arousal of sex and happiness radiating from the building. He wondered how long it would take for those sex-crazed fiends to search for an empty room to have fun.Using his good eyesight, he was able to easily locate his brother Luther who was happily talking to a lady...well dancing with her. She was one of the humans that Luther seemed to genuinely care for -Lisa Shannon but why he refused
The next morning after the tragic event at the party, Andrew had to inform Koel about everything from last night when he noticed the tension in the house.Gabriella had taken refuge in her room, Luther had taken refuge in his study and Cyrus never came home the entire night.After hours of persuasion and trickery, Andrew was able to bring the brother to the table for breakfast."What are you doing here Cyrus?" Luther spoke with revulsion, breaking the silence."I have been living here every day since this whole RENA issue started little brother or did the events of yesterday short-circuit your brain or something?" Cyrus stated rolling his eyes as he tipped forward to pour himself a cup of water. Koel suppresses a laughter quietly not wanting to add more fuel to the burning fire."You got a lot of never saying that to me when it's obvious that you planned this since the day you met her. Isn't this part of your plan?" He accused disdainfully ignoring the whole concept of having a peace
Maya was restlessly drumming her fingers on the table, waiting for Riella to show up. Today was the day that they promised to meet up and now she was late.“Is she caught up in traffic?” Maya muttered as she brought out her phone to see if she had missed her call or a text explaining why she was late but so far nothing.Just then her phone rang, jerking her from her thoughts and she immediately picked it up from the table but unfortunately, it was not her friend calling but Julie instead. “Not now Julie” Maya groaned staring at the caller ID.Julie has been getting down on her ass lately always wanting to know more and where she is all the time.She would have been touched at the act if it didn't make her feel like she was being suffocated....in a good way though just that Maya could never hate Julie, She had stepped up when Riella was forced to leave."Hello." She spoke eloquently hoping to sound calm as imagined in her head."Hey, are you alright? Is everything ok? I haven't heard
Olive stormed into Kyle's apartment furious as hell. All this while she had been worried sick about him just to hear from her mother the night before that Kyle was present at the party hosted by Luther Reign and had personally sought out Gabriella. A part of her burned with fury wondering if he had gone begging back to her step-sister and wanted to tear him into shreds.She used the key he had given her to get inside and from the noise coming from the kitchen, she started towards them adamant on demanding an explanation."What the hell are you doing here without informing me first?" Kyle asked as he looked up from what he was doing. He was trying to work on the kitchen sink that had gotten a bit spoilt when he had been kidnapped and didn't expect to see anyone at all."Is that what you have to say for yourself? You despicable bastard?!" She yelled as she raised her hand to slap him but Kyle caught her hand and held it in a firm grip."What the hell are you going on about Olive? Contr
EpilogueTwo Years LaterNicole pulled up to the family mansion, in his car.He brought out a basket filled with assorted snacks and drinks before making his way to the house.When he got there, he rang the doorbell he could hear the commotion from inside the house, the laughter, and screams of the little ones as Gabriella opened the door and grinned when she saw him."Hey, you came." She said as Nicole nodded his head."Yes, Is Luther around? He did invite me?." He said gently as Riella pulled him into a hug."I wasn't sure you would come seeing as you avoided everyone for years and he wanted you here. You deserved a second chance. You earned it." She said as she stepped aside to let him step in. Cyrus smiled from where he was."So Nicole finally decided to return. Where the hell is Luther!" He said raising his drink as Luther stepped out from the room carrying a girl in his hands he saw Nicole and smiled at him."Come in, stop acting like you are a stranger," Riella said as she led
Separating from the hug, Cyrus smiled heartily at Koel;“ You are going to be a great father, I just know it." "I should probably go in and see her now. She must be nervous thinking I don't want this with her," he said as Cyrus nodded his head."You go do that. I'll be here and call Andrew to tell him the good news so that he can tell Cyrus and Riella. At least Riella would stop panicking over it." He said as they separated and went their different ways.Koel knocked on the door and waited for Maya to tell him to come in before he did.He closed the door behind him gently as he turned to face Maya who was looking out the window playing absentmindedly with the hems of her dress."You look better than before. Guess we have the doctor to thank for that." He said trying to make a joke but it fell flat as the air was tense between them.Koel didn't know how to break it or what to say to make it feel better. He didn't know what Maya was thinking. What if she didn't want a baby and hated hi
"Then we need to check up on her. I'm fine. They need you, go ahead." Luther said as Andrew hesitated. He thought that he saw Silas slash Luther with the knife but maybe he saw it wrong.Shaking his head, he went ahead to help Riella who had lost consciousness from forcing herself into her first shift and they carried her inside her bedroom to rest.Everyone left Cyrus alone with her knowing that it was what they wanted now. Maya was sobbing uncontrollably wishing that someone would have a remedy for this. Riella didn't have to suffer for this as well, she had suffered long enough and she didn't even get to have her happy ending.Luther was in his study room, getting ready for the worst, his wound was working more slowly compared to Riella who got hurt three times with the knife while he only got hurt once. The legendary knife killed their mighty father so he was sure that he and Gabriella wouldn’t survive it.For the next few days, there was a gloomy look on everyone and the house w
"I am so sorry that I made you feel like I didn't care about you. That was never in the plan at all." He said kissing her forehead Maya looked up at him and said, "It's okay, don't worry about it. You treated me well enough taking me out, caring for me, you made me believe that I was worth something." She said as Koel frowned not liking the way she was talking bad about herself. "You are worth something to me. Don't you ever think that there is nothing about you that is worth something to anyone? Anyone who can't see the value of you is blind." He stated as Maya laughed softly, shaking her head. "Thank you for trying to make me feel better about myself. It worked." She said. "I was telling you the truth, not trying to make you feel better about yourself. Why won't you believe me?" He asked as Maya looked down. "Maybe because you never did sleep with me. You didn't seem interested in me." She joked as Koel froze. "Is that what you think? I thought that you would beat the hell out
"Let's listen to him for now, he seems to have a plan. That's something. We don't need to forgive him." Koel said to Cyrus as Luther looked on to Cyrus who nodded his head."Very well, tell us this plan of yours and what you think will happen. Is it capable of working? We don't have any men again on our side that will help us fight this battle against Silas." He said as Luther cut in,"Leave that to me. Since I was able to show my loyalty to Silas, he made me his partner and that means 50/50 in anything we are doing. Nothing can happen without me also having to agree on it so if you ask for some wolves to come, all I do is not sign it and none of them will come. Just focus on getting to Silas while we cause a distraction." He said as they agreed to this plan."Alright, we are going to go along with what you have planned. But this doesn't change the fact that we hate you for what you did and we are probably never going to forgive you anytime soon." Koel said as Luther shrugged his shou
“So where did you want to take me?" Silas asked as Luther was driving on the road."It's a secret, I would like to show you in person. Tell me more about this red moon. What is happening then?" He asked as Silas replied,"Oh well, the red moon is like a thing that affects witches. That is the day they lose their powers, it occurs only once every 100 years and it's supposed to happen tomorrow night. So that is when I want to carry out the sacrifice knowing fully well she will be powerless." He said as Luther resisted the urge to throw up."That's wonderful." He said instead."Of course it is, but don't worry, like I said, I'll make sure that you will be free from the curse before I kill her completely. You have proven your worth to me and I am very happy that I have you on my side. I know you won't disappoint me. Not like your brothers did." He said and Luther gave him a fake smile before parking the car in front of a cemetery."We have arrived," Luther announced as he got down from th
Andrew paced around in the hallway, not being able to calm down after seeing Riella in that position. He could not help but wonder how Luther could remain so calm and focused. He wasn't even able to pick up anything from him which shows he was angry as well. He just took it in stride and acted like it didn't affect him.He needed to get to Riella but he knew with Silas there, he won't be able to get close. Hopefully, Luther would take care of this and cause some sort of distraction for him to get to her.Meanwhile, Luther was furious when he saw Riella in a pool of her blood, looking weak as Silas was seated cleaning his hands with a bloodied handkerchief. He almost lost control seeing her like that but thankfully he wrapped it under bits and remained composed as he spoke to Silas."I wasn't aware that the property could be beaten up. If I had known, I wouldn't have tried so hard to make sure she remained unscathed. She does have a potty mouth I always wanted to fix." He said walking
After Luther left Riella with his father, he knew that Silas would do nothing more than taunt and make fun of her. That was acceptable. She would live through it, so he made his way to Andrew who was stuck in his room writing something in his journal."I didn't expect to see you here after the falling out we had earlier." He said as Luther sighed,"You know how it is. You are the only one I can depend on to help me." He said as Andrew pushed the journal aside and stood up."I guess you delivered Riella to your father then." He said with a grunt.Walking to a chair, Luther gave a nod as he sat down, wincing at the pain from his scars which Andrew noticed."Did you get injured?" He asked, walking closer.Andrew removed his jacket to see that his entire back was covered in claw marks."I didn't shift during the fight so I got hit hard by Maya and my brothers. Guess they were bent on ripping me apart." He said bitterly, his wince was interrupted by Andrew who pressed on the wounds."You a
As soon as they got home, Andrew was already on standby to help his master out of the car but when he opened the door, Silas shunned him and stormed inside leaving them on the spot."What happened?" Andrew Asked quietly as Luther wanted to respond when Silas yelled at him to get inside the mansion instantly."I'll tell you later" He promised and Andrew nodded his head then followed him back into the house to play mediator if need be.Silas was pacing around muttering to himself as they got in."You called for me?" Luther said calmly not betraying the expression on his face as Silas stopped pacing around and looked at him."Yes, I did. It's time I moved onto plan B." He said.Luther cocked his head to the side puzzled."I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with what that means since you refused to tell me anything in the first place." He said.Silas glared at him before saying,"I need you to go and get that Rena girl here. I'm sure you know where they are. Take some troops, a lot of wolves to ov
