Chapter Nineteen Kory gulped, instantly turning her gaze away from the entrance. “Why did you bring me here?” Her eyes hovered on Thane, who was slowly sipping on his drink.He separated the cup from his mouth, “To see if you’re going to die.” He answered, resuming what he was doing by sipping gently on his cold portion of Spluch. “To what now?” Kory was genuinely stunned by his response, either that was sarcastic or he meant it. But she knows him, he’s not man who jokes with the sincerity of his words. He says what he says, and he meant whatever the words could mean. “I’m not repeating myself.” He seared away from the drinking, letting her know before retreating back into what he was doing. Kory gawked with unsettling silence, using her eyes to monitor the man’s movement. He came in with two guards, and the scar she gave him was still as deep and severe as she invented it that night. Kory was new to the human world, heartbroken by her family and scorned by her pack. She expec
Chapter 20 Alpha Thomas already has his vengeance sight set on Kory, and as soon as he resumed a seat amidst the congregation, he began a devious plot. Time for the party rang out from an unknown bell connected to the building, the sensitive ringing getting everybody alarmed and the doors were slammed closed. “Are you nervous?” Thane asked, his eyes fixated on the crowd gearing up to spill blood. A guy rushed over to them, “Please Alpha Lord, hire me as one of your capo. I’m loyal, resilient and would serve you with utmost decency.” He rubbed his palm together cautiously. Thane had his cold gaze inspecting him, he had just address him by his actual mafia title that nobody knows except true enemies. He smirked, knowing the game set in his way. He beckoned to the young man, and when he was close, he leaned close acting as though he wanted to whisper into his ears when he grabbed him by his neck, twisting it effortlessly to a side and rendering him lifeless. Kory gasped, since t
Chapter 21Kory felt the banging sensation shot through her system, hitting like a substance whirled into a tornado. Her palm located the spot and she rubbed on it, blood smearing her hand and painting it red. Like she had predicted, the bullet was silver and her wound wouldn’t just hurt ten times the normal, but she’d be unable to supernaturally patched herself up. “Remove the bullet, and heal yourself.” Thane simply instructed, barely affected by the sight of his mate in agony. His indifference was shocking and not at all to Kory, he had said to her the reason why he brought her with him to this slaughter club, so why in his good name would he help her when she’s in so much pain. Kory gasped with painful grunts falling out of her lips. She managed herself off the stool she’s sitting on, grabbing her hand purse and she attempt staggering her way out of his sight. “And where do you think you’re going?” A familiar male voice quizzed from behind, belonging to no other than the call
Chapter 22 Alpha Thane was starting to become anxious where he sat. The filled cup of Spluch he kept refilling once emptied was starting to become warm since he’s yet to drain out the content. It took every ounce of his muscle to refrained his yearning body to care for Kory when she got shot not to do it. His wolf didn’t do a better job. Absolutely giving in and multiplying his will to get up and show his care, how moved he was by the shot piercing her stomach. As soon as he suggested for her to go clean herself up in a restroom, he mind-linked one of his guards to follow her and make sure she’s alright. Meanwhile, he had his eyes roaming round the hall, the culprit who shot his mate wasn’t about to get off free doing that. No one looked the least suspicious, minutes had gone by and Kory hasn’t returned from wherever she went to clean herself up. Thane stepped down from the stool he sat on, picking on his wolf senses that something had gone wrong somewhere, someplace that he co
Chapter 23 Kory opened her eyes, an odd feeling clouding her depths immediately. Her head banged, feels like a hammer working on her brain. “Ugh!” She groaned, squeezing her face with her brows creased. She sat up from the laid down position she woke up from, sitting down and inspecting her surrounding. A second later her memories jolted back to her head on what happened, how she was shot and kidnapped by one of Thane’s nemesis. Kory immediately felt an instant rush of agitation feeling her up as she jumped down the bed she was sitting on. She has been placed in a room, and compared to how she thought she’d be treated. The room wasn’t looking like a prison, and she wasn’t chained or cuffed. Kory walked towards the door, wanting to get a grip on her situation with an encounter with whoever is around. She got to the door, pulling on the door for an entrance, but it wasn’t opening. Albeit she was very weak when she woke up, she now feels okay and believed it to be due to her wol
Chapter 24 Thane was desperate, and that fueled him into succumbing to his wolf’s bid. “Promise you what?” Thane conversed, his tone validating that he was going to play by his rules. ‘Promise me that you’re going to treat her differently now when we get her back. Promise that you’re going to treat like our mate this time around and not like a cheap whore or whatever your screwed head made her to be. That you’ll love her and stop being a cruel heartless fool to her. Promise?’ The wolf’s voice rang his demand into his hearing, his words pinching on Thane’s darkened humanity. He went silent, going over the demand in his mind, it just wasn’t suiting him. However, he needs to get Kory back at all cost. “I promise,” Thane voiced a response after a full minute.‘Give me your word, and swear it with your life, cause you’re not that trustworthy. Heck, you’re not trustworthy at all.’Thane scoffed, surely not expecting his wolf to be this serious about Kory. However, he was, very serious i
Chapter 25 Kory spent the next few hours of her captivity mapping out scenarios of how to escape the fine confinement she’s held in. Since she was titled a guest and not a prisoner, a tour of the house was given to her once she passed her request to Thomas. That gave her the privilege to look around the house, and note some routes to getaway. She was ushered back inside and prepared a hot bath afterwards, and just like her captor said, dinner was brought to her and she actually enjoyed the warm meal. She was preparing to sleep when the door opened and Thomas walked in. Kory quickly sat up on the bed, wondering why he’s here in her room late in the night. “You were pretty convinced that your mate would leave you here weren’t you? That he doesn’t give two fucks about you right?” Kory stared at him with indifference, “In his words, he took me to that party to see if I’d die or survive, I got shot in the stomach and he couldn’t care less. You picked the wrong girl to help
Chapter 26 “Where to ma’am?” One of the guards was quick to question Kory as soon as she stepped outside. “It’s a beautiful night for a stargaze don’t you think?” Kory composed herself so she wouldn’t seem suspicious as she quizzed back at the guard. “Couldn’t get Thomas to come watch the stars with me, so I’m set to go do it alone. You guys are welcome to join me if you’d like?” Kory set to motion as she began her walk down the hallway. And as expected, the guards followed suit. She’d thought they’d stay behind, and have a little trust in her. But who was she kidding, she’s still a prisoner. Kory led them all to the garden at the mansion’s back yard. The night breeze was chilly, and soft as it warmed around Kory’s skin. Kory took her seat on the bench, and silently gazed up at the stars. “Are you both just gonna stand there forever till I’m done or take a seat down here with me?” Kory couldn’t help to jab at the two shadows towering behind her. She whirled back to face them whe

Chapter 18 Kory had no idea how she plans to get it done, or what she needs to do. But she remains hopeful that a chance would emerge from this party she was preparing for. A maid already delivered a sparkling black dress that revealed not too much, but fitted her in the right places and brought out her curves. She was casually dolled up and in no time was ready for the party. Kory has no idea how she planned to escape Thane tonight, but she sure was going to take her chances. She was escorted out of her room, down the stairs and straight out of the mansion into a limousine parked in sight. As Kory entered the vehicle, Thane beckoned for her to come sit at the space beside him. He tapped on it, waving for her to come close. Not wanting any altercation between them, Kory heeded his call. Going to sit right beside him. As she sat down, his hand rested on her shoulder, wrapping around her and pulling her close gently. As though he was asserting his possession on her. Kory did not
