Cyrus got home that day tired as hell, he was very tired and all he wanted to do was cuddle in bed with his lover, and erase reality for the rest of the week.It's been a hectic past few days as Cyrus was stuck in overnight meetings, traveling with other business associates trying to get back the money that they had lost. Even if he had been alive for so long, the money must be made.He hadn't been staying at his brother's mansion as well because he wasn't ready yet to face her. He knew that he neglected Rissa these past few days and was ready to make it up to her.He held the bouquet of roses that he had managed to get with the ice cream despite his tiredness and walked into their living room but his smile faltered when he saw that nobody was home. He went back to the garage and saw that her car wasn't there so she probably went for a stroll or to see someone.He checked his phone to see if any texts were informing him and saw that she had left twenty unread messages within three da
Cyrus was woken up by his phone ringing as he burrowed himself under the covers. He didn't want to talk to anyone at the moment. He felt Steve beside him rousing from his sleep and shut his eyes even more. He would deal with the person on the phone. He closed his eyes to stop another round of groan, he missed Rissa, it's been more than a week, the cops were getting cold leads and nobody had anything new, to even pitch forward.Their new lead Nathan was missing, and they had no idea where he had gone off the grid.Steve roused up from the bed looking shocked as he said some words but Cyrus wasn't paying attention. What the hell happened?"We are on our way." He said as he ended the call as Cyrus tried to sleep but Steve pulled him from the bed."What the hell is wrong with you, Steve? It's late." He said angrily, wanting nothing more than to bury himself in his sheets and weep for Clarissa."It's urgent. Clarissa is at the hospital. We need to go. They just brought her in." He said as
Cyrus spent the entire morning in the chapel staring at the altar. He had gotten numb from praying a long time ago. He had no idea where Steve was, but he wasn't sure he wanted to look for him.All he wanted to know was if Clarissa would survive.He glanced at the man who was crying, his baby in his hands asleep as he begged God to make sure his wife pulled through.He wondered what it would be like to have a child with a woman after breaking the curse with his brothers. He wasn't going to chase after Gabriella, Luther would want to keep her, but neither had he fallen for her anyway. Despite his feelings for Clarissa, he has been treating her like a side chick, pushing her away for safety. Even if they were to have a child together, he would be so happy, they hadn't gotten that much time together and she was taken away from him.He got up from the chair he was seated on as he made his way out of the chapel just to see Steve walking towards him. His heart throbbed faster wondering i
Just then, there was a shift in Clarisse's body movement which drew the attention of the brothers.They watched her before she groaned, holding a hand to her head to acknowledge a migraine.Cyrus reached for the water and aspirin before she gasped and sat upright looking around.Her eyes widened when she saw Cyrus beside her. She shook her head thinking it was a dream, after all the last thing she remembered was shooting her Savior to escape."Calm down, you have been through a lot. But everything is all right now I'm here for you. Do you remember what happened?" Cyrus asked as Clarisse turned to face him fully."Am I... Am I dreaming right now?" her voice came as a whisper and if not for the super hearing that the brothers and Gabriella possessed they wouldn't have heard her."No, you are not dreaming. I'm right here and you are safe." He said as Clarisse wrapped her hands around his body sobbing loudly relieved as Cyrus hugged her back.After a while, she calmed down as the brother
Luther arrived in his study room with a straight face as he plopped down on the couch and leaned over to pick up a packet of cigarettes. He flicked one out with style and a smirk curled up his sexy thin lips.He leaned back into the couch with his leg crossed over the other on the big center table. He inhaled a few drags before focusing on the laptop before him as the smoke faintly enveloped the screen. Strictly focused on footage of Gabriella's room, something in him reacted for a slight moment.He had installed a CCTV camera there before he even brought her home to monitor her movements and now it was like a relaxing hobby since it appeased his mind that she was safe.He has every reason to be worried because she was somehow involved in a situation to get rid of Cyrus's lover and he wants to have his revenge.Cyrus hasn't come back to the mansion since Clarisse was released from the hospital. They had to deal with a personal blow; Clarisse was pregnant and had lost it as a result
Gabriella recalled Maya of everything that happened in the past few weeks as Maya listened with intense concentration inputting most places and asking questions.But it seemed like Gabriella had been living a crazy life.....well crazier than usual."And now Cyrus wants nothing to do with you?" She asked as Gabriella nodded her head with a sigh."I can't believe it. You know I thought I would be very happy when one of the brothers stopped breathing down my neck but right now, my wolf isn't happy. I don't know why and I am getting frustrated." She complained but Maya frowned about it, peering deep into her soul. The only way that her wolf would feel bad if Cyrus was ignoring her was if they were MATES.... Wait a minute."Gabriella I don't want to be a fun spoilt but when was the last time you ever heard from Kyle?" Maya asked. Gabriella stared at Maya knowing fully well she told her she didn't want to hear his name anymore that Kyle didn't exist to her."Not since I got married I thin
Cyrus watched Luther buttoned his shirt, they were alone at last as Riella had made a quick getaway mumbling about going out but Cyrus didn't make any comment.Gabriella slipped past him but he could pick up the embarrassment from her scent surprisingly except for guilt.Seemed like she didn't regret getting freaky with Luther, only that they got caught. He didn't know if to feel angry or nonchalant about it.Luther took a deep breath pulling Cyrus from his thoughts as he exhaled and said,"I'm sorry you had to see that. I didn't know that you were coming. Why didn't you inform me?" He asked making Cyrus raise an eyebrow in incredibility."I have never called you before walking in here and it's likewise when you visit me and now you are asking why I didn't call. Oh, forget me your great lordship for slutting it with the one who can break our curse behind doors. Does Koel know about this or is it just you?""Don't come at me, big brother. If you are angry that Riella wants to seek comf
Kyle looks so miserable chained up to the wall but when he hears coming footsteps, he forces his eyes open with a sick smile on his face. Wondering if the merciless man was going to show his face again after the last way they met each other.He had been so taken aback by Luther's presence at his door, It could be compared to the president of a country who had never talked to you showing up at your door without a notice— That could explain why Luther was able to get away with knocking him out.But Since he got here, Luther never made an appearance again, only his goons whose orders must have to "make sure he breathes no matter what" considering half of the torture they had done to him.The door opened as he looked up and to his dismay, it was those who had the pleasure of tormenting him daily."Day seven of being stuck here as our punching bag. How do you feel?" Aris spoke walking towards him as Kyle grimaced. He wished he could get out of those cuffs but it was made with silver whic
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
