2024-10-29 19:42:56“Monalisa…” a male voice called out to her, startling and making her turn around immediately too to see who had called her name.
“Bret…” Monalisa muttered, sounding a little out of breath because of how frightened she was a moment ago and surprised to see him standing in front of her like this. He had also called her name which was awkward to her because he normally would not have called her name and wondered why he did.
"Sorry Monalisa, I frightened you," Bret said apologetically, seeing the fright in her face.
"What?" Monalisa muttered again and this time glanced around her, wondering what was going on at this moment and why Bret was talking to her and so politely too. No one was polite to her before and that includes Bret, in fact he has never spoken to her before, not that he has any reason to, he was way above her class. Bret is the son of one of Aunt Lila’s wealthy friends, who often visits the house with his clique of friends and sometimes drops by alone to see Annabel who was also his friend only she does not know the exact relationship they shared.
"I know that you are surprised that I am talking to you," Bret said, guessing her feeling right now and knew that she was right to feel that way.
“Wait a minute?” Monalisa muttered, the scary stories flooding her memories again as she entertained an awkward thought about Bret, especially since he suddenly just came to be here.
“What is it?” Bret asked, taking note of the sudden change of mood again, wondering what she was thinking at the moment.
“Which one are you?” Monalisa asked, taking a step backwards away from Bret, who peered at her, wondering what was going on with her.
“Excuse me?” he asked, glancing behind him to check if she was seeing something he was not but found nothing, he turned his gaze to her again, his brow lifted a little as he peered at her and hoping that she speak up instead of having the frightful look on her face as she stared at him. “What is it, Monalisa?” he asked again, gesturing for her to speak.
“What are you? A vampire… werewolf or a witch?” Monalisa muttered but enough for him to hear her, taking another step backwards, recalling that people are of the opinion that they live among them and no one knows their identity.
“What?” Bret asked, surprised by her question and almost immediately he started laughing but stopped himself immediately again, lifting his hand to cover his mouth as he glanced behind him knowing that Lila could hear him. “Do not be ridiculous Monalisa, me, a vampire… werewolf or a witch?” he asked again and chuckled at the same time, he did not imagine that talking to her could make him laugh like this especially since he has never spoken to her.
“Yes…” Monalisa muttered again, shrugging her shoulders a little bit and wondered why he was laughing, still finding it surprising that he was here, in the cold night talking to her.
Bret paused his lips and stared at her for a while, finding her interesting and happy that he took the decision to talk to her, she was not that bad afterall, he thought. “I did not know that it would be this nice to talk to you,” he told her, gazing into her face.
Monalisa lowered her gaze as soon as their eyes met, feeling uncomfortable to look at his gorgeous face, blushing a little as he said it was nice talking to her. “Have you come to see Annabel… I think you should go and see her now because she would not like it if she saw you talking to me…. and besides, it’s so cold outside.” Monalisa stammered, gesturing for him to go into the house, afraid of what Annabel would do to her if she saw him talking to her, since they were standing in front of the house.
“I have not come to see Annabel, Monalisa, I have come here to see you…” Bret told her calmly, still gazing at her, he could see how uncomfortable she was and knew the reason for that.
“What?” Monalisa asked, peeking at him from under her lashes, surprised to hear him say that he had come to see her, and thought that he must be joking. “This must be a joke right?” she asked in a near trembling tone, wondering what he was up to. He cannot be here just to see her, no one has cared about her before, she said inwardly, still peering at him from under her lashes but skeptically this time.
“I know that this might sound crazy to you, but I want you to believe me…” Bret started but stopped for a moment to put his words right for her to understand him. “Look, I know that this is going to be hard for you to believe me but I have been thinking about you, I do not know the reason for that from the beginning but I realized that today when I tried to sleep but all I kept thinking about was you…” he said and paused again, seeing the shocked look on Monalisa’s face as she lifted her gaze to peer into his face this time.

Monalisa’s lips parted slightly too as she peered into Bret’s face, her heart starting to race inside her, wondering what this was about. Bret had been a regular visitor in her Aunt’s house but he had never spoken to her before, it was like she never existed and now he is standing in front of her in this awkward moment saying this to her."Oh my goodness, Monalisa, I do not know how to get this out, please could you come with me, I am freezing out here and I bet you are too," Bret said, reaching out and taking her hand, making Monalisa’s pupil widen as he took her hand. She tried to pull her hand away from his but he held on to it."Come with me Monalisa, I am going to explain this to you but I cannot do it out here or we are going to freeze out here before I make you understand this." Bret told her and without wasting time he started leading her to his car. He opened the car and helped her to step into it while he walked around to sit on the driver's seat."I am taking you to my hous

Bret drove Monalisa back to her house a few minutes before the day became bright like he had promised he would, “take care of yourself Monalisa,” he said, wearing a sad face as she was about to step out of his car.“Thanks, Bret, see you…” she said in response and then stepped out of his car, feeling a little sad to be back to Lila and Annabel, as she watched Bret drive away again, she pressed her lips together hoping that it will not take long before Bret comes to take her away from here like he had promised her he would. She quickly went to sit down close to the front door of her aunt’s house, pretending to have stayed out there all night. It was still cold outside but she would stay warm with the thought of Bret, she told herself, feeling like the Cinderella who had gone out to meet her prince and had just returned home.About two hours later the front door went open. Monalisa quickly stood up from where she was seated to see her aunt Lila standing in front of her. “You are still h

"Get the door Monalisa," Lila shouted from the dining room, calling out for Monalisa who was heading back to the basement where she stayed. Monalisa paused abruptly, feeling angry as soon as she heard Lila call for her, she was thinking this is a time she would go back and have a little rest after serving them food and have her own food quickly too before she goes back out to clear the dining table since they usually do not allow her to stay around them while they ate. She was starving too, especially after what went down between her and Brett."Monalisa… I said, get the door," Lila's voice came again, sounding very angry this time as if she had done something very bad to her."Oh, for God sakes…" Monalisa muttered, and then turned around heading back to the living room wondering who had come at this hour. It is still morning, she said inwardly as she walked back to the dining room and out into the living room ignoring aunt Lila who's angry gaze was on her. It would only be a matter

Annabel giggled like a little girl, sitting back beside Bret as she waited for her other friends to show up at her house. "Why are you so excited?" Bret asked, wondering if she felt nothing at all after seeing that he made out with Monalisa, he thought that she had feelings for him but seeing her like this, made him wonder if he had been misled by her attitude and attention for him."You will never know Bret," Annabel said, smiling broadly like she has won some kind of award. "I cannot wait to see the look on Monalisa's face where she would realize that all this was just a plan that I had initiated," Annabel said, flipping her hair that had fallen over her face backwards, her gaze on Bret. She failed to see how disgusted he looked at her for a moment."Come on, why are you not telling me how it happened in detail, you know, I would like to hear about it," she said again, still giggling as she spoke."Well there is nothing to tell, Annabel, I have won the bet, that's all I think there
Her Perfect Mate Chapter 10
Monalisa carried on with her life, putting what had happened between her and Bret aside and taking every abuse that came to her, especially from Annabel who would not stop taunting her about being a cheap wh*re.Bret on the other hand had put Monalisa out of his thoughts and had gone back to being the way he was before with Monalisa, and acted a little worse than he was before especially when he was with his friends as he didn't want them to see him as a weakling and his friends praised him more for that.Monalisa decided within her that she would try and avoid Bret so she sorted out for more cleaning jobs that would keep her away from home even though her aunt Lila still got the wages from her work. It felt better that way for her than to constantly run into Bret who seemed to pay more visit to their house than before. She would wake up very early and prepare things for Lila and Annabel and leave for work before they even woke up and would return at night to clean up after Lila and

Bret suddenly woke up from his bed, awakened by a terrifying dream that he could barely remember, his heart racing as if he had run a marathon but could not also recall if he was being chased in the dream he had just woken up from.He slowly sat up on his bed, placing his large palm against his chest to try and support himself especially since his heart ached so much."What is wrong with me?" He asked inwardly, wondering what was going on with him and why this sudden fear and ache mixed together. He has never experienced something like this before. He could not explain exactly how he felt.He slowly pulled himself closer to a table on the side of his bed which had a lamp on it and his cell phone. He managed with difficulty to turn on the lamp switch to make the dimly lit room brighter before going for his phone.He quickly dialed his mum's number and put the phone on speaker phone so that he could hear his mum since he was unable to hold his phone to his ears because of how uncomforta

"You are no different from your mum," Monalisa heard a voice say in her head causing her to stop walking abruptly after walking a few distances away from her son. She had tried to stop herself from feeling anything for her son but could not.She had also stopped hearing his cry after walking this distance but still felt like it was ringing in her ears. "You are no different from your mum," the voice in her head said to her again, reminding her of how her mum had left her when she was a baby."No," Monalisa shook her head slightly sideways, "how can you abandon your baby?" The voice within her asked again, causing her to turn around and immediately she started running towards the sea side where she had put her baby, praying that nothing bad had happened to him already."No," Monalisa said out loud as she ran towards the side of the sea where she had put her baby Oscar, frightened as she could not hear him crying this time.Greg, who was walking away with baby Oscar in his hand, saw Mon

"No sir, your son did not have a heart attack," the doctor replied, causing Dennis and Cara to turn to him immediately wondering why he said that and what must have happened to their son."Excuse me Doctor, but what do you mean by that?" Cara asked, her brows raised in surprise and Dennis too."I do not know how to explain it ma'am, but your son did not have a heart attack, he experienced something I cannot explain medically," the doctor told them, finding it difficult to explain what had happened to Bret. "I do not understand what you are saying doctor," Dennis said, shaking his head slightly as he peered into the doctor's eyes. he recalled how he had seen Bret and the condition he was in when he brought him to the hospital, he had thought he was having a heart attack especially because he had seen someone experiencing a heart attack before."Well you see, sir, what happened to your son looked like a heart attack but it is not a heart attack," the doctor said and continued."We are

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.

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.

“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
