MATEO'S POV Frank wasn't wrong to call me a watcher. I am and it's not something I can resist. My gaze followed my blue eyed mate as she disappears into the same restaurant I ate the last time. With a smirk on her face. She seems to be so happy going to work. Her sculptured, twine-thin figure is something I haven't gotten tired of looking at. The face that would never leave my memory, even if she wanted to I have just passed the Wekki estate and am now heading to one of my mansions. When I see her, my friend!I don't know if she works at the restaurant or if she is just a customer; I hope it's the former. That would be preferable to searching for her for an extended period of time again. I stay in the car, thinking about what else to do. I can't just go in there and scream, "Follow me, girl; you are my mate!" Humans will think I am a lunatic. There is a difference between being impatient and watching something from afar and having the inability to stop thinking about something.
22 KIARA'S POV My inner voice searched for different options for solving this problem. I consider every possible outcome before deciding whether or not to accept the offer.The torture room How is it going to be? Like in the movies? I immediately go to the internet to search for it. I didn't know what to do. It turns out the issue is bigger than expected. If I should go, will my safety be guaranteed? Then what if I don't? I will lose my job. Although it's crazy, this thought came to my mind. What if you changed everything and became completely different? I have to decide here and now whether I give in to his request. If I become his chef, my grandmother's hospital bills will be taken care of. I don't need to pay house rent anymore, except for my grandmother. My eyes widen more and more as I think about it. I shifted my imagination from one scene to another—scenes of torture. "Don't worry about your safety." "I will never hurt you," he says, making me more anxious than I ever wa
24 KIARA'S POV I stepped into the garden. I have been calling Mila since I could remember, but it's just as if network service is not meant for that house. I only remember seeing her once since I left. She told me that she had reported me missing to the police, but she was certainly sure that the man who abducted him was not different from the one who abducted me. She shed a few tears, blaming me for everything, including the fact that I never tried to call her and explain that I was still alive. Getting away from Mateo wasn't the main reason why I desperately wanted to leave the house; besides, I have learned that he isn't as heartless as I imagined. He is just tough to handle. I wanted to visit my grandma more often. He doesn't allow me to. But anytime I see her, her health seems to be so stable. not improving or deteriorating. But today we actually need to be together. It's my parents' death anniversary. Obviously, I will have to sneak out of the house. There is no way Mateo co
THE VIPER MOON PACKAGE Sona's POV "Let go of me!" I screamed and moved my body repeatedly as the man dragged me to his shoulder. He wrapped his hands across my legs and grasped my opposite arm. On getting to his bedroom, he bumped me into the bed and handcuffed my right hand to the side table. Moving away, He unbuttoned his long black shirt and hung it in his wardrobe. He put on his sleeping robe and lay beside me. I tried effortlessly to free myself and escape amidst the screams. "What are you doing?" "If you must disturb my sleep, I will cut your head off." He said this rudely while pointing a small knife at my neck. I trembled in fear, but my mouth wouldn't close. I burst into another fit of tears and struggled to loosen the handcuff. Frustrated, he sprang up from the bed and strode to the bathroom. He turned on the shower, and I could smell a lemon-scented bath gel. I utilized the moment as an opportunity to escape. I removed my new hair bobby pin. With my thumb, I pulled

I could remember visiting her only once since I left. She told me they she had reported me missing to the police but she was certainly sure that the man that abducted him was not different from the one that abducted me.

It's my parents death aniversary. Obviously I will have to sneak out of the house. There is no way Mateo would find out.
MATEO'S POV. "You know Mr. Nathan right," I ask the brown-haired man who is staring at my cold gaze with no glimpse of fear. The smell of blood touches my nostril and I smirk in satisfaction. I dug the knife deeper into his right palm making him wail in pain, he writhed on the cold, hard bloodied ground. ", I see you enjoy this Man! " Caleb says behind me. Although He is a hard killer but that's not compared to me. "Does he look like joker with a green hair and red lips? He says again kicking at his ribs. " No you look more like a crown" he laughs mockingly. That's not what I want. Does he dare to mock me? Perhaps I will pick out his fingers with pliers that would teach him not to mess with me. Slowly twirling the small knife, I stare at the man. He seems to be captivated by each twirling and twisting. Goddamnit. This mother fucker is waiting a hell of my time. "You have two options, which are: answer my question and stand a chance to win a painless death. The second... i
KIARA'S POV" Finish up your meal when you wake up" I say to my grandma. She is lying still on the hospital bed with her eyes closed. Her breathing is still supported with a mechanical ventilator.I come closer to her, lifting one hand and pressing one last kiss to her left hand before pulling away. I stand closer to the door, looking back at her as few drops of tears escapes my eye. Its the first time she won't attend the family's death anniversary. Not because she doesn't want to but... I 'm scared to attend hers. "Get well soon please grandma" I suddenly crouch and bully my face at my laps. I sneeze continually and the stands up. I miss grandma. More than she can imagine, more than anyone could imagine.I miss her nagging and all that. I feel so much indebted to the old woman. While raising me, she haven't enjoyed a bit of her old age. Now I have finally grown up. No I guess I haven't, if not what am I doing in a man's house when I am not married to her. Grandma will scream in sh
KIARA'S POVI woke up in a cold sweat and Heart pounding look. I open my eyes to a room that does not belong to me. Sitting up, I look around at my surroundings; there was one window, a single bed, in which I was asleep in and a stool, it wasn't plan and non-threatening. In this kind of situation most would think waking up in a strange place is something to be worried about but feel that I have done this before. I’m more confused by how I got here in the first place. . I couldn’t tell if it was morning or afternoon but the light is a mixture from the sun and the city outside. The light wasn’t the thing that woke me though; it was a deep foreign voice calling. I saw him. The same man that I was in a taxi with. My head hurts like hell but I couldn't figure out what next to do. I try reaching my phone but my hands are tied together and my legs as well The man laugh sarcastically as he stare at me struggling."Finally awake? Sleeping beauty! I would have placed a kiss on your lips to ma
A YEAR LATER."Luna Kiara," I heard my name being called. It had to take me a while, as usual, to realize that I was the one being referred to. I stood up to answer my husband, Alpha Mateo."Where are the boys, my laun?" He asked with a very worried face. "Dan has gone to school, and Rhett is busy sleeping in the house." I explained.He nodded and went in to confirm that Rhett was still there. "I'd call Dan's teacher to make sure that he is in school." "You know children of these days," Mateo said with a faint smile."You should also worry about your people this way, my Alpha." Dan is okay, as is Rhett. "Grandma wants them," "Yes," Mateo nodded. It's funny how he believes that anytime his mother seeks out her grandchildren, they might not be entirely safe. Soon enough, Dan returned from school and met his father and me at the palace entrance. With my wide arms opened to hug him, he ran to wrap himself around his father. A sting of jealousy struck me. I raised him, but he seems to
MATEO'S POVI woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring, jolting me out of a deep sleep. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock, realizing I had overslept by 20 minutes. I jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, quickly brushing my teeth and washing my face. I barely had time to splash some water on my face to wake myself up.I ran to my closet, grabbing the first outfit I saw and quickly getting dressed. I rushed to the kitchen to make a quick cup of coffee, but the coffee machine was on the fritz. Frustrated, I chugged a glass of water and grabbed a piece of toast on my way out the door. I slept well in my old house. Very fancy, but clearly I knew it was for me. I thought about what Jim's father said. If any of my men get to see me, I might have to spend the rest of my life in prison. I sprinted to my car, praying it would start on the first try. Luckily, it did, and I was on my way to work. It doesn't really work, but I guess that's what people call it. I have to get my vis
Mateo's povThe day of the hit had finally arrived. I was dressed in all black, my face concealed by a mask. I was ready to carry out my plan to take down Jim's father once and for all.I made my way to the building where he was holed up. My heart was so willing and confident. I was nervous, but I was also determined. I was a mafia man, and I wouldn't be defeated.I entered the building quietly, my footsteps muffled by the thick carpet. I was moving stealthily, like a predator hunting its prey. I was going to take him by surprise, and he wouldn't know what hit him.I crept down the hall, my hand on my weapon, ready to use it if I needed to. I was getting closer; I could feel it. I was almost there.And then I heard a noise. It was the sound of footsteps coming from around the corner. I froze.. Had I been discovered? Was my plan about to be foiled? Those asses, I hope they weren't shitheads. If not, I will strangle them myself. I took a deep breath and stepped around the corner, my pi

MATEO'S POV"I do not appreciate it when people eavesdrop on my conversation." Miss. I hope you are ready to face the consequences if you ever disclose anything you heard to anyone. " I warned a lady whom I noticed has been unconsciously spying on me.Her face flushed with fear as she looked at me like she would break down. Her pupils burst out in fear. She was so terrified."I ...d..idn't hear anything." She stuttered carelessly. Does she really think she could lie to me? Even a fool would know that she was listening.I looked closely to observe her face, but my eyes mistakenly caught her cleavage. Gross!. She wasn't even dressed. She was putting on a very short crop top that revealed her cleavages and a short skirt that shows her straight legs. "Get lost." I said anoyingly. She was ready to scamper for safety, but I stopped her. "I know your face; if you were a snitch, I'd find you and kill you," I warned with a mean face. She ran off as fast as she could. I am so annoyed that I co
Kiara's povI worried the entire time during the ride home. Daniel kept quiet. His gaze was all on the road and me. I desperately wanted to break that icy silence, but what the hell was I going to say? Huh?. The only sound that awakens me is the honking of the cars. "Thank you so much, Daniel," I finally said, looking at him but avoiding eye contact. "For what?" He asked, still focused on the road. He didn't even spare me a glance. "For ehm everything, thank you so much." I don't know what I would have done without your help. "I stuttered helplessly with my finger clenched rightly to my cloth and my other arm holding Dan so tightly."You're welcome," he replied with a wide smile, which faded almost immediately. "About earlier....""Oh, just forget about that already." "I mean, you are now relaxed," he interrupted. as if he read my thoughts and knew exactly what I wanted to say. "Are you in?" In anyway... Uhm mad at me? " I stuttered and immediately made up my mind not to ask any
