Gabriella was ready to leave, her bags were already in the trunk and she had said goodbye to everyone. After much argument about her taking strong werewolves as bodyguards and Riella refused, they later settled with human bodyguards. Riella was dead certain that she didn't want to do anything with the supernatural at all if she couldn't help it. After all, that was why she was stuck here in the first place. She wanted to have a wolf-free life for a while burying all her responsibilities and problems."You should talk to Cyrus. Tell him that you are leaving as well. He very much deserves to hear it from you" Luther said to her.She froze; “What?" She asked, not sure that she heard him well. Sure she expected Koel to be the one to say it but it was Luther of all people.The one who didn't want her near Cyrus at all or hated that they were mates."You heard me the first time," Luther said rolling his eyes, not going to repeat himself. He was already furious at himself for suggesting eve
"What kind of bastard would kidnap Gabriella of all people?" Luther snarled with anger as he stared at the dead bodies of his men sprawled on the floor. The cops had already coordinated the place off as yellow tapes could be seen all around the place."And why didn't I give her werewolves bodyguards instead? Why was I so at peace I conceded that human beings would suffice." He mumbled to himself, regret seeping to the surface.Koel who was still trying to assess the situation walked closer to Luther,"Don't beat yourself up, this was a planned attack. And whoever is behind this needs her alive as a hostage or we would have seen her dead body among the rest. Cyrus is already talking with his friends who can help us with this. The cops want to take an official statement from you since you are legally her husband. Pull yourself together." He said as Luther took a deep breath and exhaled just as the cop made his way towards them."Good afternoon Mr Luther and Mr Koel Reigns. I take it th
Cyrus was burning with rage as he carefully dropped Riella in the back of his car before covering her up with his jacket. He had to get to the hospital quickly so that she could be looked after.Getting in the car, he thanked the lucky stars that he had paid attention to that faint tug that pulled him across the forest just to see Riella collapsing on the ground, exhausted, and left for death.Clenching his teeth and willing himself not to do anything stupid, he started the car and drove out of there before dialing his brother's number. He needed to tell them what the latest news was.Koel picked up quickly as he spoke,"You said you would call when you are done investigating a hunch you have. Are you done?" Koel’s voice rang out from the other end of the call. Cyrus glanced back at Riella who was unconscious and replied,"I found her. I'm bringing her to the hospital too so you and Luther will have to meet me there?""What the fuck....tell me you are not joking. Did you find her? Ho
The car ride was awkward, to say the least. Cyrus was focused on driving back the same road he came from while Luther was scrolling through his phone without a care in the world. But to Cyrus that felt different.He felt like something was entirely wrong with this whole situation and he was trying to solve it."Don't think hard I don't want you to hurt yourself," Luther said out of the blue getting Cyrus to look at him with a frown on his face."What are you looking at?" Luther muttered to himself while typing a message on his phone which made him smile and had Cyrus suspicious of it."Who the hell are you talking to right now?" He said as Luther looked up from his phone shrugging his shoulders."A friend... Lisa. I'm meeting her after we are done with this." He said and Cyrus frowned."A date? What about Gabriella? We just got her back. We need to be with her right now and you are abandoning it so you can go on a date?" He asked again but Luther could not see anything bad about it."
Maya was seated on the bedside chair in the hospital room with Gabriela’s hand in hers, holding it softly and with hope as she waited for her to wake up. The last few days had been terrifying for her and she was surely thinking the worst. The doctor had said that all wounds would heal up and she would be good as new but Maya was still worried. Luckily the hospital they took her to was run by the werewolf council so almost all doctors and nurses werewolves.Maya sighed as she said,"Things have been crazy around here. You really need to wake up. I don't know if I can do this without you. Okay?!" She said placing a kiss on her forehead and just then she heard Riella groan with a squeeze of her brows.Pulling back in excitement, Maya watched as she saw Riella open her eyes.Trapped in a haze, she squinted her eyes to adjust to the light now exposed to “Where... where am I?" She mumbled before she sat upright looking scared as Maya hurried to her side."You are alright Riella, you’re sa
Luther was in his office working, he had spent a lot of time out of the company so he was putting in work now by staying late. Koel had sent him a message asking him if he wasn't coming to see Riella but he disagreed. He didn't want to see any of them at the moment. He sighed as he ran a hand through his hair; he was fucking exhausted. But then a commotion outside his door got his permission and he could hear his PA arguing with someone. Before he could get up to see what the problem was, the door opened and it turned out to be Cyrus who was pissed off and stalking towards him."What the hell is wrong with you?" He asked as the PA followed saying,"I'm sorry sir, I tried to relay your message…” The poor lady uttered quietly with her face down, it’s not like she was capable of stopping Cyrus Reign anyway."It's okay, I got this. You may leave." He said to his assistant who nodded her head and left the office closing the door behind them."What are you doing here, Cyrus? Should you n
Shannon Diaz was an enigma; Born over 100 years ago, stuck in the body of a thirty-three-year-old woman, she was beautiful and always got what she wanted. Unfortunately right now what she wanted was Gabriella. She had been searching for this RENA GIRL for years only to get confirmation during the kidnapping of Gabriella Reign as it went viral being the wife of a very influential man Luther Reign.Luckily, when she finally got to the city, she heard that Gabriella had been rescued and was receiving treatment. She waited because there was no way she would be able to see her when the hospital was overflowing with Luther’s men and even the nurses were searched before being allowed in her room.She didn't want to give her identity to the brothers so she stayed away, until she got news that she was working at a hotel and she quickly put her plan into motion. All she had to do was carry it out.*****Gabriella was on her break when she came around the older lady who immediately brought bac
Maya was furious at Riella for sidelining her that easily when all she had ever done was to look out for her.Was this her way of telling her that she didn't need to be looked after because she was suffocated by her? Or why would Riella want to actively keep her from this? Normally Riella loved dragging Maya into whatever she was doing and yet this one, this one time when it's really important and she might be in danger, Riella ditches her for Shannon.All sleep fled from her eyes as she didn't know how to spend her lunch break again. Whipping out her phone, she scrolled through her contacts wondering who to call when her eyes landed on Koel's number and she dialed it.This was someone who knew what she was going through and could help if it came to that.He also knew everything so she was relaxed talking to him because she knew that he would never hurt her for being vulnerable with him.He was the only brother that she liked for real and could enjoy being in his company for a long.
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
