Annabel stood up immediately and led the way. “Here it is mum,” Annabel said, pointing the fluid on the floor in Monalisa’s room to Lila whose lips parted slightly after she examined the fluid, wondering how this got to be in Monalisa’s room as she thought she knew what it was."Is this?" Lila muttered, her pupils enlarging as she examined it again, feeling confused because she was now certain of what it was."What is it Mum, do you know what this is?" Annabel asked, lifting her gaze away from the fluid on the floor to her mum’s face, feeling that she knew what it was judging from her facial expression.Lila lifted her gaze to her daughter after she asked her the question, her brows furrowed now as she peered at her, "do you think Monalisa was pregnant?" "Pregnant?" Annabel repeated, her brows raised in surprise immediately her mum popped the question."Yes, Annabel, do you think Monalisa was pregnant because this," she stopped herself, turning her gaze to the fluid on the floor agai
"Oh no, Bret, so it is true," Annabel muttered, clapping her hands over her lips. "How could you have done it with her without a condom?" Monalisa asked angrily, suddenly feeling very mad at him for being so careless with her. She knew that she was the one who had put him up to that but she never expected it to turn out like this.“I beg your pardon,” Bret muttered, his eyes widening at her as he wondered why she was acting the way she did just now. He had thought that she had feelings for him but had brushed the thought off his mind after she constantly acted like she did not care especially after he had s*x with Monalisa. He had leaned to move past it and continued to act in the way he had done before the s*x thing with Monalisa.“What are you begging my pardon for?” Annabel asked, peering hard at him, her eyes getting clouded with tears as she suddenly wished that she could turn back time and undo what had been done, not because of Monalisa but because she never wanted Monalisa to
Greg Stevens made it out of the city of Baton with Monalisa’s baby Oscar feeling relieved that he was no longer at risk of being seen by the Vipers who were looking for him and his pack member whose Alpha had refused to help him seek justice for the unjust killing of his wife and son.Greg quickly pulled out of the road so that he could check on baby Oscar whom he had kept hidden at the back seat of his car, feeling afraid the whole time that he would cry and draw some attention to him. He was afraid of being caught because of him and was also a little afraid of the child’s silence as he did not want him to die on him especially because of the purpose he has for him.Greg glanced around after he got out of the car to make sure that there was no one in sight who could see what he was about to do. “Okay boy,” Greg said as he picked out baby Oscar from the back seat of the car where he had hidden him, groaning a little too in pain because of the wounds he sustained while trying to escap
“I am so sorry about that,” Elly said, feeling sorry for him, “You need to go to a hospital,” Elly told him.“No I do not think that will be necessary, it will heal in time… this is not that serious,” Greg told her, feeling relieved that he got her sympathy and willingness to help. “Are you sure about that?” Elly asked, her brows narrowed in surprise as he refused to go to a hospital. “Yes, I am Elly, what is more important for me is the need of my son right now and how he is going to survive this, you know,” Greg said, shrugging his shoulders a little bit, not knowing how to complete the statement.“You do not have to worry about that, I will help you,” Elly told him, turning away from him to the products in front of them that were on the shelves. “You are going to help?” Greg asked, feeling thankful that she was willing to help as that was what he had wanted.“Yes Greg, you do not have to worry about it,” Elly told him, wearing a smile as she was willing to help him. She took a
Monalisa lifted her gaze as the car she was in approached a very big gate, “Viper city,” she muttered the name that was boldly written in front of the gate.Chico turned on his side to gaze at Monalisa after he heard her mutter the name, ‘viper city’. “Welcome to your place of doom,” Chico said inwardly, letting out a wicked smile from the corner of his lips.“What is this place?” Monalisa asked inwardly after their car drove into Viper city as the name had implied at the entrance of a place that looked like an estate. She felt like she was being taken into another world as she glanced from one person to the other, who seemed to be carrying on with their lives or perhaps being asked to do something against their will. The car she was in drove slowly behind the other cars in front because of how busy the place is.“Where have you brought me?” she muttered again softly, slowly turning her gaze to Chico, who scoffed a little as he thought he could see fear in her.“You will see just in t
Felicia quickly held her hand to the side of her cheek that had just been smacked, her brows furrowed immediately as she peered at Hamilton. It has been a long time since she experienced this sort of treatment from him. “What is this for?” she asked, still peering at Hamilton especially since he did this to her under the watchful eyes of others.Hamilton got even more irritated by her question that he swiftly went at her, wrapping his large palms around her neck causing Felica to wince from the pain as she suddenly felt out of breath.Monalisa’s lips slightly parted, her eyes enlarging too as she was marveled at the speed in which Hamilton used to get to Felicia and even though they were standing next to each other, she was still marveled to see him move in such speed “Do you want to die today?” Hamilton asked her furiously, glaring into her eyes.“No, not today,” Felicia replied to him, sounding so out of breath. This was not the first time he was doing something like this to her an
Lila returned home after she failed to find Monalisa, still wondering where she could be. This was unlike her not to be at work and not to have come home or could her thought about her being pregnant true and could she be having her baby somewhere? Lila asked inwardly, pacing around her living room, unable to sit still.She should be happy that Monalisa was nowhere to be found in the hours she had looked for her which was something she had wished for in most occasions but strangely she didn't feel happy about it and she thinks it's because she thought she was having a baby and could probably be with the father of her child. "Damn you Monalisa," Lila cursed out loud, hating her thought very much as what she had wanted for Monalisa was for her to suffer and lose her life in the end all because of the hatred she has for her sister Rosy, who is Monalisa’s Mum.Lila stopped pacing abruptly when she thought she heard someone approaching her house and thought that it was Monalisa. She peere
Monalisa followed Liam into a room in obedience to Hamilton’s command, wondering what this was about but she decided not to create any more scene. She could tell that Hamilton who was the leader of the people here in Viper City is not someone to play with as she could already see the fierceness in him especially after the way he treated Felicia in front of many people outside.She could also tell that Felicia held a commanding position but she didn't know what that is but cared less anyway. She was not afraid to die and had decided that she would not allow herself to be mistreated again. She had never tried to fight back the people that mistreated her back in her aunt Lila’s house and she regrets it now especially after her life turned out this way.Monalisa glanced around the room she was brought to, taking note that it was nothing like the small shabby basement she had stayed in her aunt Lila’s house.The bed was neatly arranged, there was a chair and a table to go with it and a few
Bret banged rather furiously on the front door of Annabel’s house as soon as he arrived at her house. He had left his parents and went straight to Annables house knowing this was the only place he could find answers to what Advik had told them.Annabel and her mum, Lila left their rooms immediately after the heard the banging on the front door, each wondering who it could be. They were about to retire for the evening when they heard the knock.“Who could it be?” Annabel asked her mum, Lila in a trembling tone after they met each other in the living room.“I do not know?” Lila replied, a little frightened too, and glancing up at the wall clock hanging in their living room to see the time.“Who is it?” Lila asked, trying to push her fear away as the elder of the family after gesturing to Annabel to go get her phone, ready to call for help just in case it was dangerous.“It’s me Aunt Lila, it’s Bret, I need to speak to Annabel,” Bret responded rather sharply causing Annabel to pause abru
Advik suddenly paused after some incantations, glancing from Bret to his parents, his pupils enlarging. “What is the matter?” Dennis asked, standing up immediately, followed by Cara as they sensed something wrong.“What’s wrong with me?” Bret asked, standing up too, his curious gaze going from his parents to Advik.“I am afraid, Alpha Dennis but your son Bret cannot have his Alpha wolf strength, he can gain some strength by practicing but not the strength of an Alpha wolf,” Advik told them rather slowly.“What?” Cara muttered confused by what Advik said. She could also see the confusion on Dennis and Bret’s face.“Why can he not have the strength of an Alpha wolf?” Dennis brawled at Advik as if he were the reason for Bret’s situation.“That is because your son’s Alpha wolf strength has been passed on to his son,” Advik said.“What?” Bret muttered, shocked by what he had just heard.“What?” Dennis and Cara echoed almost immediately too, surprised by what Advik said.“Your son’s wolf s
Alpha Dennis barged into his bedroom feeling very furious and devastated after having yet another failed session with Bret, causing his wife, Luna Cara was seated on a chair in front of her dressing mirror to stand up on her feet immediately startled by her husband.“What is it?” Cara asked taking a few steps closer to Dennis even though she could already sense his reason for being so furious. “I am done with that son of ours,” Dennis blotted out, groaning deeply afterwards. “I wonder how I ended up with such a son, all of my efforts to take control of Batton city over the years will go to waste because I do not have a capable successor,” Dennis snapped, pacing furiously around his room with Cara.Cara’s brows furrowed, feeling terrible too for Brets inability to awaken his wolf’s strength. They have only succeeded in making his wolf come alive but have failed to make his alpha strength come alive. She has tried to train him herself too but failed.“Calm down Dennis, I think we shoul
Chico barged into the room he shared with some of the vampires, groaning deeply, causing Liam and Thomas who were present in the room to turn their gaze on him.“Did something happen between you and Hamilton?” Thomas asked almost immediately, sitting up on the bed where he was lying on. He is guessing that to be the case since he has been very upset with Hamilton lately.Liam just tightened his jaw muscles as he peered at Chico from the chair where he was seated on, next to Thomas, having the same opinion as Thomas.“It is not Hamilton, it’s that b*tch, Felicia,” Chico replied fiercely, recalling how she told him that she knew his secret. “The nerve of that b*tch to blackmail me,” Chico added, tightening his jaw muscles and wishing he was in control of viper city already. “What did she say?” Thomas asked in a deep tone, wondering what Felicia must have said to him to make him this upset.“She knows of my plan to take over from Hamilton,” Chico said, peering into Thomas' eyes. Thomas
Felicia found Chico with some of his men and gestured for him to make them leave. Chico groaned a little, knowing why she had come to him, he nodded slightly, gesturing for his men to leave. “What is it?” he asked after his men left, crossing his arms across his chest.“You know what I want Chico, I have been asking for months,” Felicia said sharply, irritated by his question but pressed her lips tightly together after Chico shot her a disapproving look, indicating that he didn’t like her tone.“I am sorry, Chico, it’s just that I cannot wait to be like you… I mean, a vampire, have you spoken to Hamilton about it?” she asked, forcing herself to sound polite.Chico peered at her for a while wondering why she kept insisting on being one of them, especially since she had witnessed how Hamilton allowed them to have little blood. He had been working on getting stronger secretly even though it was difficult and wished that Hamilton had turned Felicia into one of them instead of Monalisa as
“They have returned,” Monalisa said to Clara who was sitting next to her in the slaves camp as soon as she heard the sound of the vampires who had gone out before, her brows furrowed, hating that they sounded happy.She was feeling hopeful when Hamilton told her that he was going hunting late last night knowing that they were going to hunt some werewolves. Werewolves as she had heard were no easy target so she hoped that they would not return but hearing how happy they sounded showed that they succeeded.“Your wish didn’t come true Monalisa,” Gabby, who was working next to them said in a whisper, her face saddened. She had hoped that Monalisa’s wish would come true so that they could try and escape from viper city just as Monalisa had planned.“You do not have to be heartbroken about this Monalisa, I believe the opportunity would come,” Clara said, seeing how bitter Monalisa looked.“When will that day be?” Monalisa snapped but in a low tone in order not to be heard by some other vamp
“A year has passed Dennis, our son is nineteen now. It is time we make our son train as a werewolf to see if that could help him,” Cara added, making up her mind, still peering at Dennis who also felt that Cara was right.“Where is Bret at the moment?” Dennis asked, turning his dark gaze away from Cara.“He should be in his room,” Cara replied, wishing she had suggested this sooner.Dennis turned in the direction of Bret’s room at once while Cara followed behind.They have sought solutions by themselves but had found none yet but this attack on their pack had led Cara to suggest that they tell Bret about who he is and felt relieved that Dennis accepted it.Dennis pushed Bret’s room door open immediately he got to it without knocking like he normally would have done causing Bret who was in bed with Annabel to sit up on the bed immediately too.“Dad,” Bret snapped immediately he saw that it was his parents who just walked into the room.“Mum,” he added immediately, turning his unaccepta
“Hold on a minute,” Judit, one of the house keepers in Bret’s house, said hastily and rushed to get the front door leaving what she was attending to in the kitchen, wondering who it was that was ringing the doorbell rather ferociously and why no other housekeeper was available to answer the door.“Is your boss in?” a tall slim man asked rather rudely immediately the door swung open, peering rather hard, down at Judit for not answering the door quickly.“Excuse me, do I know you?” Judit asked, trying not to be rude to the stranger at the door. She has not recalled seeing this face before and wondered why he spoke to her in the manner that he did.“No you don’t, now answer the question, is your boss in?” the man asked authoritatively again in a deep tone, his brows furrowed at Judit.Judit clapped her hands together in front of her, trying to get a hold of herself and not knowing how he got past the security men at the gate with such an attitude. She had dealt with so many guests in her
“Marry me, Greg,” Elly said abruptly from the other end of the dining table where they had just finished having dinner.Greg lifted his head off the plate in front of him, his brows raised in surprise. “What?” he muttered, peering into her eyes that peered back at him. “You heard me Greg, marry me,” Elly said the words again with much confidence this time, staring back into his eyes. She had practiced saying these words to herself for some months now and had mustered the courage to say it.“One year has passed now, Greg, Mario has started mumbling his first words and I cannot let him go… I mean, I cannot let the both of you go, I want us to be a family, you, me, and Mario, I love you both, Greg, please marry me,” Elly said, reaching out for Greg’s hand from the other side of the table.“I know you would never ask me, so I took the initiative to ask,” Elly added, holding Greg’s hand.Greg shook his head a little, not knowing what to say to her since her proposal came as a surprise to
