MATEO'S POV
I took the small pocket knife that had been resting on my black suitcase and stuffed it into the front pocket of my jean jacket.Putting out my cigarette, I stood up to leave.
The information I needed about Mr. Anderson has been sent, including his photograph and his room number.
Just as I was about to turn the doorknob, the door opened by itself.
Quickly going over to my suitcase, I take out an M9 pistol and crook it, waiting to blast the head off any unwanted guest.
I immediately feel jolted by electricity within me. Like the way I felt earlier when the masked girl entered, She is panting heavily, like someone who has been chased by kidnappers.
"Mate!" As I pinned her body to the wall, I couldn't help but think.Ever since I left my pack, I have been searching endlessly for her, and here she is, in the most unexpected environment.
I could see the fear and shock in her enticing, constellation-blue eyes as she gazed at me.
"I'm sorry for entering your room without permission...." Her heart-shaped mouth trembles as she apologizes nervously.
She has a sculpted figure that is twine-thin. Her waist was tapered, and she had a glossy complexion. A pair of arched eyebrows looked down on sweeping eyelashes. Her delicate ears framed a button nose. A set of dazzling, angel-white teeth gleamed as she blew gently on her carmine-red fingernails. It is a pleasure to see her flowing, moonshadow-black hair. Her enticing, constellation-blue eyes gaze at me over her puffy, heart-shaped lips. Her lips tasted sweet like strawberries when I kissed them. She had a bouncy personality and a sweet voice, which I adored.
I notice she isn't ready, but yet I have to mark her. I can't stand a chance of losing a friend I have met after 11 years of fruitless
I bite her neck softly, making sure she feels no pain. It's my first time being considerate of someone since my parents were kidnapped and I moved to the human city to find them.
I recall the terror in James' eyes 15 years ago—the pack hunter.When he hurriedly entered the pack house, he lay flat on the cold floor, bawling helplessly.
"The Alpha and the Luna have been abducted by unknown humans. I saw them clearly. "They took away our pack leader," he bawled in front of the pack elders.
I can remember vividly the sharp pain I felt across my heart. I was turning eighteen the next day, which happened to be a full moon night.The day my wolf would finally surface
I felt so happy waiting for that day. Dad had promised to also crown me the official heir on that day. It was a day I nervously hoped would come. A day I waited for and dreamt of...
"What did you just say?" I stuttered, breathing heavily. I felt my heart would stop beating because I knew so much about the pack's traditions.
My parents had gone to get the precious stone from a forest near the human city. The stone must be present during the full moon festival.
Hearing that they had been kidnapped not only dashed my happiness because I wouldn't see my parents for a long time, if ever, but it also sapped my hope and enthusiasm for meeting my wolf.
I rolled myself to the ground, crying painfully like a baby. I couldn't hold myself back. Tears wouldn't stop flowing down my cheeks even after I had been consoled by the pack's elders. I tried to stop it at least, but it wouldn't.
That was when I started to feel empty and hopeless. I felt empty inside because there was no one to call family again. My parents only had one child, me.
I finally got hold of myself to behold the pack members all staring at me like they had found a new hope.
.....
Laying her slowly on the bed, I cover her with a duvet from her leg up to her neck. I want to stay with her, by her side, until she wakes up, and I will passionately cuddle her. I will explain to her that she is my mate from the moon goddess.
But that seems impossible. My phone has been buzzing for a while, and I am certain the call is about my task.
"Don't leave. If you wake up and can't find me, read the letters I'll leave for you." I beconed on her before moving over to the cushion to watch her sleep.
Once that was done, I locked the door behind me, put the keys in the leather jacket, and moved toward room 201, which was at the end of the hallway.
When I got to the room, I kicked the door twice, and it flung open.The site I beheld was rather disgusting, but it helped to confirm that I actually entered a womanizer's room.
When the girls saw the masked Me, they dashed out of the room.Mr. Anderson lay helplessly on his bed, shaking vigorously.
I can hear his accelerated heartbeats. Because he is only wearing a short boxer, the goosebumps are obvious.
"Let's make it easy, Mr. Anderson... "Breathe in... relax," I advised.I love to see my victims in a pitiful state. I watch as he throws his mouth and eyes wide open and wraps his arms around himself.
"Who are you...?" Please spare my life. "I... I can pay you any amount you want, please forgive whatever I did," he stuttered, sweat dripping down his brow.
"I am your doom!" I usually love my deep, throaty voice whenever I say this line. It's more like a farewell to my victims.
I need not waste more time; the girls might act out and call the police.
Yes, I looked him in the eyes as if his death would give me hope!It really will.
I want to make his death painless, so I grabbed his neck slowly with my left hand and placed my right hand on my lips, signaling to him to keep quiet and not to scream. He nodded repeatedly, thinking maybe I would spare him since he was an obedient one. I see sadness, fear, and tears in his gray eyes. Things I love to see
I take the pocket knife from my pocket and slit his jugular. I watch as he bleeds out, goes unconscious, and within minutes he drops dead. I confirm it by checking his pause. It isn't beating anymore!

MATEO'S POV"The job is done, my pay? " It is the first thing I say to the man at the other end of the cell phone once I leave the room. "Room 200," The masculine voice says and then the line went dead. I cannot imagine that he was in the next room, listening as I kill his business associate. I hate this fact about humans. Backstabbers!From the hallway, I move to the room and place a harsh but quiet knock on the door. I don't want to draw attention to myself." I'm here!" I said to the old winter white-haired man. His eyes are blood-flecked. I can't tell if it were because of his old age or things he had smoked, anyone, I couldn't help but stare at his timeworn face which was graced with a goatee."I'm here," I said again, impatiently. I don't know who exactly to talk to, the old man in an armchair who seem to be the boss or any of the two hefty men who stood by his side. My guess was right, the old man is the boss. He stood up and walks towards me. His footstep is unsteady on his
KIARA'S POV. " Jim! You... You?.. "How are you driving a cab?" I ask many questions at the same time. I haven't seen him in a long time.The billionaire's son, who used to be my bestie, We were fine until he started confessing love—that feeling you get when your best friend does that—I plainly told him he was like a sister to me. These lines annoyed him like fuck. "Not even a brother, it's a sister," he commented. "It's not a cab." Does it look like one? "I see you were in a hurry, so I offered you a ride."He said it with a smile. "Ohhh... Thanks, sis!" As I say this, I lean back in my chair. "Wtf" Mila and Jim join the chorus.Jim immediately halts the car. I know his blood is really boiling. I never forget to remind him that he is like my own sister. a sister I never had. Then Mila should be my elder sister, while he should be the younger. "I'm truly sorry, Jim.It was a mistake, okay. I apologized, realizing he would never turn on the ignition again until I did so. He nods. One
9 KIARA'S POV "I'm so sorry I came a little bit late," I apologize to my coworkers. "You should be sorry if you appear a minute later. He is here," Jenny muttered to me. Mr. Frank came in and walked around to survey the kitchen. No one is missing. He nods his head while moving around the kitchen with his hands behind him. Soon he will be done with his morning routine. Orders started coming in. My love for cooking has always been fueled by my love for produce. I knew I was a good cook, but somehow I wish that I had gone to college. Almost all my high school friends went to college; I feel like I'm the only one left out. If I hadn't grown up with my grandma, or perhaps if I had grown up alone after the tragedy that befell my family, I don't know if I would be on the path I am today. From a very young age, grandma would take me fishing. We will hike to the mountain top and fish in the deep fjord. We would pick berries, mushrooms, and herbs. My favorite moment then was to stand in
KIARA'S POV "Won't you tell me already?" Mila asks, her eyeballs staring directly at mine. It was so embarrassing to me that I can't even remember vividly what happened last night. His face—I might not be able to tell if I see him again."Forget it, Mila, have you forgotten about our pinkie swear not to talk about this again?" "Mmm," she sighed.We walk down the not-too-busy asphalt road that leads to our house quietly. Mila's apartment is just a stone's throw from mine.A black Ferrari suddenly stops before us."Are you daft?" "You almost knocked us down," I said. But the car stands still without the owner even wailing the glass frame down.My heart sank into my stomach when Mila shoved a big stone into the car's trunk. "What the heck, Mila?" I screamed with my eyes wide open in surprise. She has let her bad temper take hold of her. Her body was vibrating in anger. What I said wasn't her concern. I now know why she was so annoyed. I see the dusty stain on her cloth, and obviously
Kiara's pov "Why are you screaming, sir?" "Won't you do something already?" I was startled at the man's reaction when I mentioned the scorpion tattoo."Ain't you going after him with your men?" I ask again when I notice that he is all lost in his thoughts. "Mister... Mister... Sir?" "Damn it,” I muttered loudly. I had to tap him a little before he got back to reality. "What?.. oh, sorry, you can go home now, okay?" "Drop your phone number; I will dial it if we find something okay," he says. I can see how nervous he has become; his hands were shaking. "No,” not until I press an official charge against them. I want to find them at all costs, don't you?“Then go to some other officer; don't make my life worse, please,” he shouted arrogantly at me. I wonder why he was scared of the scorpions, or whatever they call themselves."I appreciate... thank you, sir." I murmured and went to the other police officer, a female this time. She was busy with his phone, playing a game, I guess, becau
MATEO'S POV. "I found his address." My assistant says that as he stands in front of the door, his face looks worried about me when he sees that I am supporting the weight of my head with my hands on my jaws. "Then let's go," I say, and I stand up, ready to leave. "Now?" He keeps asking, getting me annoyed. 'why? Must you question my authority? I am really annoyed. He was my beta back at the pack. My best friend too, then. I expect he respects me more than anyone else in the human city because he already knows my real identity. Even without a wolf, he sure knows that I was way too strong. I wonder how special my wolf could be. "Sorry boss," he says. I glare at him angrily and then deliberately bump his shoulder with mine while storming out. We enter the black Lamborghini Huracan eVO we drove to the party. I am at the back. My normal position and that of my assistant is in the driver's seat. "Can I have the address now?" I ask. "Y.. Yes..." He stutters. He pulls out a piece
MATEO'S POV Today has been a clusterfuck since the morning. I can't tell if the bad luck is on my side. First, my mate went missing after only meeting her for the first time, and now the woman who can provide me with the information I require is ill. Maybe she will be at the mortuary now. God knows the hell that would have happened if I hadn't come a bit earlier. I'm too stressed to think, and I'm hungry as fvck.I went into a nearby hotel to get a good meal—Savante Hotel was there. head swiveled and watched as I walked in, but I didn't care. I order polenta and cured meat and dig in once my order arrives. It tastes delicious, but still, I feel empty inside. I pay for my meal, then take my jacket and car keys and leave the hotel. My phone buzzes, and the caller ID shows it is Caleb, my assistant. I clicked the blue button and placed the phone on my ear. "I got all the girls from the night party, boss."Caleb's voice sounds more scared than real. I know something is amiss even thou
KIARA'S POV. The day dawned crisp and clear. The sun poured through my window. Another day had dawned, bringing with it new hopes and aspirations. The light of dawn seeped into my room. I rubbed my bleary eyes and walked to the window. There was a pearly glow in the sky. The first rays of sunlight lit up my room. The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in. The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene. The just-risen sun shone softly on the city streets, bringing with it a flurry of early-morning activity. I stretched my body and made my way to the shower. I didn't know when I came to my bed yesterday. I almost thought I slept on the floor with my head on the table. After having my bath, I put on my blue gown, the last gift from grandma. She said it would always be my luck, and today I need all the luck I can gather. I feel guilty for falling asleep even when Mila is missing. The perfect footwear that would suit the style
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
