Lily shivered at the words the man uttered. Had she been in a coma?
"What happened to me? How did I get here? Who are you?" Lily asked her questions successively without waiting to get her first question answered before asking another.
"You asked so many questions, but don't get worked up. Relax, I will answer all your questions and clear your doubts, but first, go and take a bath. You've been unconcious for a few days.
There's a closet attached to the bathroom, there you will find some clothes, you can choose to wear whatever you want to.
And lastly, when you are done, meet me downstairs and I'll answer your questions" he smirked and then walked out.
Kayden Diego is a 3000 years old werewolf Lord. He's the Alpha of the Middleton pack. The pack consisted of 1000 members, a relatively large population for a pack. The pack had formerly been ruled by his father until he fought with the Lakewood pack and won.
The Middleton pack had formerly consisted of only 500 members until his father's beta connived with the Lakewood pack to attack him and the entire pack.
The Lakewood pack had written them a letter, informing them of their intending attack. But as they prepared for the fight, they didn't realize that the pack was already divided, some were in secret support of the beta while some were ignorant of the division.
Joe Bidder was the insider who orchestrated and hired the Lakewood pack to attack the Middleton pack.
As luck would have it, Justin Stone, Kayden Diego's trusted bodyguard happened to stumbled on Joe Bidder's conversation with his co-conspirators.
As expected of a faithful bodyguard, Justin Stone immediately alerted Kayden Diego and after the investigation, Joe Bidder was exposed. He wanted to kill the Alpha and his Luna; Kayden Diego's parents and become the Alpha.
In order for him to succeed, he had hired the Lakewood pack with a large sum of money and made them act on the forefront of the war.
But Joe Bidder's daughter Jane Bidder was Kayden Diego's mate. When her father's treacherous act of treason was exposed, he was imprisoned together with his Co-conspirators.
But despite the Lakewood pack know that Joe Bidder had been exposed and imprisoned, they went ahead to fight against the Middleton pack with the intention to conquer them and make them submit.
Contrary to their expectations, Kayden Diego had the victory and killed their Alpha. When the members of the Lakewood pack saw Kayden Diego's full black eyes and heard his air renting growling, they all immediately bowed their heads in submission.
That way, they were conquered and forced to submit to the leadership of the Middleton pack or die. Off course they choose the former option.
But then, Kayden Diego was in a complete state of confusion.
When Kayden Diego became the new Alpha, he decided to punish Joe Bidder by making him a rogue. He was to be forcefully banished from the Middleton pack and must remain a lone wolf for the rest of his life. His co-conspirators were killed but Joe Bidder's punishment was lighter because his daughter Jane Bidder was the Alpha's mate. But Jane Bidder was furious and challenged the Alpha to why he would banish her father. Her father had done wrong and have suffered many months of imprisonment. The time he had spent in prison should be enough to atone for his sins. To threaten Kayden Diego, Joe Bidder declared that if he is banished, he would leave with his daughter who apparently was Kayden Diego's mate. Kayden Diego was not doing what he did because of himself, but for his own people, his pack members. First, to instill discipline and the fear of banishment and secondly, to make them realised the implication of not being loyal to their Alpha. He couldn't have possibly ki
At the moment their eyes locked, a warm sensation flooded his heart. Why was he having this feeling? he asked himself quietly. He stared at the woman in front of him. She looked delicate and fragile. Her pale white skin was glittering. It looked fresh like a baby's. It gave him this impression that the woman would definitely have come from a high class family. She has a small oval face with a smooth tapered jaw. Her lips were plumb. Her grey almond eyes were attractive. Her hair was thick and long that reached a little before her waist. When Kayden Diego saw her features, he couldn't help but secretly acknowledge the fact that she's really a beauty to behold. He hadn't taken a fancy to the female species, not even when Jane Bidder was still his mate. Lily felt very uncomfortable when her eyes and Kayden Diego's met. She felt like she'd known him before. But the way he looked at her from her head to her toes, it seemed like he was scrutinizing her and she's uncomfort
Lily nodded in affirmation. Her eyes became teary. The severe headache she felt earlier was panting her painfully and is very painful. Perhaps She should stop trying to remember her past. Kayden Diego saw her tears, he turned his eyes away. Someone or a group of people wanted this woman dead. He doesn't know what she had done or what their reasons were, but they could have at least informed the police and let them do their job rather than take her life into their hands. Or could it be they wanted to murder her for a gain? He would have Justin Stone investigate who this woman truly was. "How long have I been unconscious?" Lily asked. "Four days,"Kayden Diego answered simply. It's been four days since this woman has been under severe intensive care from a werewolf doctor. He couldn't take the injured woman to the hospital because first, he would have to give an explanation on how and where he found her and secondly, she wouldn't have been able to make it to the hospital. She
Fetching the walk-in talking out of his pocket, the call soon got connected "Officer Nathan on the line...ok...where?..I am with her husband, we'll be right there" Before the police chief could say anything, Damian Cross beat him to it and blurted out "what, has my wife been found?" glaring at the police officer as if he would swallow him whole if he was not fast enough in answering his question. "Not really, but something that might give us a clue to her whereabouts" Police chief Nathan explained. Damian Cross sighed audibly before he heard the officer ask "I am afraid you have to come along to identify some objects that were found" His colleagues have found some vital things that might be linked to Mrs Lily Cruz's whereabout. " Oh!.. sure I am more than willing to come along" Damian Cross agreed and took his phone and car keys and went out, walking behind the police officer . They drove for two hours non stop until they arrived at the boundary of the city. Some police
The transparent bag contains dry patches of blood. Damian Cross' heart quaked at what he saw. The officers squinted and waited for the Rappeller to explain what he'd seen down there. Getting the camera out of his waist purse, he showed them the various patches of dried blood that he saw at the bottom of the cliff. He told them further that he only collected a minute part of the blood patches for a laboratory examination. But something else really scared them: they saw prints of claws amongst the blood patches. From a closer observation, they realized the claw prints were most likely belonging to wolves. "We will have the forensic department examine the dry blood patches and get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can return home and wait for our call" Police chief Nathan re-assured Damian Cross. When they are through with their final investigation, and the blood patches tally with that of Lily Cruz, that's when they would announce the end of the investigati
What hurts Anna the most was that the woman her sweetheart was married to was none other than her best friend Lily Cruz!. Each time he's holding Lily in his arms and Anna is around them, he remembers how almost teary Anna's eyes usually were. But that was in the past now, he can be with her henceforth without having the slightest fear of being caught by Lily. He must thank his parents for their support.Their counsel coupled with the role they played in sending Lily and her parents to the other end of eternity is the pivot upon which his new life now leans. They helped him pave a way for financial freedom for the rest of his life. He would take over the Cruz cooperation as it's President. He didn't plan to silence Lily so soon, but this was all her fault. Who told her to find him and Anna doing things couples do?, something he had never done with her in their two years of marriage. He had been married to Lily for two years but hadn't consummated their marriage. He had l
With these thoughts troubling her mind, Lily rolled from one end of the bed to the other. Meanwhile, Kayden had retired to his study to do some work. He had not been to the office for quite some days now. He had been working from home and looking after the unconscious Lily. He wanted to know what her reaction would be when she opens her eyes in an unfamiliar house. But who would have knew, that she was going to lose her memory so much that she's not even sure of her name. After responding to some mails, and signing some documents, his mind drifted off to the woman sharing his roof. There's something about that woman that makes him want to help her. Why did he felt that inner compulsion to save her life? Why did he willingly gave up his blood? She's a woman and he was in his werewolf form on the night he found her. On such nights of the full moon any Wolf would be willing to devour and kill but on the contrary, he had the intuition to save her. When he brought her to his m
Without Waiting another ten seconds, Kayden Diego walked out of the room shutting the door behind loudly. He shouldn't have gone to her room. Why was he doing the wrong things over and over again after meeting this woman Lily? A certain part of his body had gone rigid and protruding like a predator capable of devouring his prey. If Lily had mistakenly allowed her eyes linger to the lower part of his body, she would have seen the pranks that certain part was playing on him. So embarrassing. Even if the sky was going to fall, he was not going to enter her room again. Kayden Diego got into his room and quickly went for a shower. He had to calm his tensed body. He had never felt like this before for any woman but this woman had awoken a sleeping part in him. He thought he was so strong and no woman was capable of arousing his masculinity. But that philosophy of his had been proven wrong by Lily. He must avoid her deliberately henceforth. He can't get himself into an unjust
He wondered if Lily felt any remorse for what she's done to his mother? She's behaving like she doesn't even give a damn. He was taken away by the police in handcuffs with his father. But his father said nothing. He doesn't know why he couldn't say a word. He was injected with an unknown drug by one of Lily's men. Had they turned him into a dumb man? Damian's mother was taken to a prison hospital. No one cared to investigate what led to her falling into a state of unconsciousness. Having settled everything, Lily sighed audibly: She'd taken her revenge and felt an inner satisfaction. Her parent's killers have been brought before the law. They were going to rest in peace and be happy that their daughter did what she was supposed to have done a long time ago: severe every relationship with Damian and sent him to jail Lily ordered the servants to give the mansion a thorough cleaning and remove everything that resembles or belongs to Damian Cross and his family. She would retur
"Get some rest, you'll be coming out as the Lily Cruz everyone thought was dead, tomorrow" Kayden announced to her. Now was the best time to act. Damian is powerless and is facing the battle of his life right now. His wife Anna has her own story to tell. No one can make a report about what happened that day, on the contrary they will be surprised when police come after them. "Tomorrow? I was going to still play around with Damian more" Lily pretended to be unhappy. She wants to see Damian Cross and Anna Brook pass through a second phase of her torture. "Is tomorrow too early? We need to strike while the iron is hot" If they delay, Damian Cross would recover and create a scene. And that may get them delayed." As for Damian Cross, you have dealt with him enough, let the law take over" Kayden Diego declared. "Ok. But how do I appear tomorrow?"Lily asked. That has been bothering her for a while now. Since everyone except Harold Aaron believed that she was truly dead, how will peopl
Anna Brook started sobbing audibly. "Lily, please spare him for old times sake and let's take him to the hospital. I am begging you". Her husband had suffered severe pains and even passed out. The least that can be done to him was that he should be taken to the hospital but alas, Lily wants to wake him up with a chilled water? Seeing the bodyguard's blood stained hands, she can imagine what Damian Cross was going to look like. He had lost his ability to father a child, but his life should be saved. The once naive and fragile Lily had turned into a monster. "You should start worrying about your own calamity rather than your dear husband"Lily declared and looked at her with hatred in her eyes. She should worry that Damian Cross would not be able to make love to her anymore. She had helped him to have true erectile dysfunction. Soon Damian Cross was dragged out and he was bleeding. The smell of fresh injury filled the entire hall. Kayden Diego and Justin would surely have been rea
Damian Cross blinked his eyes several times to be sure he wasn't in a dream land. He stared at the woman in front of him as fear gripped him. He tried to move back to possibly hide himself but he discovered he couldn't even lift a foot. This is Lily Cruz, she's not dead? Damian Cross felt his heart was beating very fast. He was shivering. Though still having his mouth taped, he knew his lips were shivering like being in a cold harmattan morning. So it wasn't Harold Aaron who was behind his abduction like he thought? Ahhh no wonder the fellow has so much of a confidence to misbehave. He probably had discovered that Lily was still alive a long time ago. Damian Cross stood with his eyes wide opened and stared like a stricken lunatic. Anna Brook suddenly felt a drop of pea in her undies. Her whole body was covered in goosebumps. She was sweating already. Her heart beat almost skipped. Lily was alive? Lily stood and watched their surprised gazes and how it turned into panic
Justin narrowed his brow and gave her a scrutinizing stare. She is definitely Anna Brook, the lordess friend who was helping her satisfy her husband. She doesn't look like a good person. Why would the lordess never discover her personality? Justin stare was filled with a cold aura that Anna Brook almost shivered, at his gaze. She unconsciously stepped back and held her mother-in-law's hands. The latter was also breathing heavily from the young man's stare. "If I had passed through the securities, would I have been able to hear and record your arguments?And know that you murdered Lily Cruz?"Justin finally answered. But none of the two women could answer him. Standing up abruptly, Justin ordered "Come along willingly or I bundle you like a stack of papers. Make your choice, I don't have time to waste on silly things like you" The two women started moving backwards. Obviously they are thinking how they'll escape. Justin just watched them and gave a wicked grin "Someone come, tie
A kind of anger rose within her. Why would Damian Cross be laughing when he saw her parents merged into the wind and disappeared? He should be sympathizing with her but he was doing the opposite. Was he happy that her parents had disappeared? But before she could reprimand him for his behaviors, she saw him bring out a dagger and was going to drive it into her throat when she started screaming: "No!, no!!noooo!!!" Then she woke up with a start and saw that Kayden Diego was holding her tightly in his arms. She was sweating profusely and her heart was beating very fast. She was shivering and held Kayden Diego as if she was going to melt into him. "A nightmare again?" Kayden Diego asked. It's really been a long time since she last had this kind of a nightmare. He was now tapping her gently on her back like a little baby that was being coaxed. Lily started crying. She snuggled herself into his chest as if he was going to vanish out of her sight. Cheng Bo cuddled her and allo
This was exactly what Damian Cross wanted. Seeing Harold Aaron's unpleasant stare, he chuckled "What's in there that you don't understand!" Damian Cross inquired and was obviously happy putting the fellow where he should be, at his call and beckon. "You fired me Damian? I worked with Lily's father and I also worked with boss Lily. None of them had any issues with me but you who just took over the company a few days ago have fired all the old staff and today you did the same to me?" Harold Aaron seethed. Damian Cross felt a little uncomfortable with what Harold Aaron said. If a company was going to make progress, one shouldn't discard the old hands, especially those who knew the in's and outs of the company. And Harold Aaron was like an asset. But his ego would not make him bulge. If Harold Aaron can condescend and beg him he might decide to retain him otherwise, he should go. He'll surely find someone to fill the vacuum. He doesn't want Harold Aaron to feel he was indispensable.
He froze when he saw her. He blinked several times and pinched himself. He wanted to be sure his wishes had come true. He really was seeing his boss? Lily saw the shock on his face and stepped out completely from behind Kayden Diego. She didn't say anything, just folded her arms behind her. She looked wronged and seemed very unhappy. "Boss Lily!!"Harold Aaron screamed out in joy and went to her, hugging her amidst so much excitement. He was not supposed to hug her, but he was too excited and threw caution to the air. "Let go my woman" Kayden's voice was cold. He won't tolerate it even though he knew Harold Aaron was too excited at seeing Lily Cruz and his happiness had made him hug her out of premonition. But he won't allow it to last beyond a few seconds. Harold Aaron immediately withdrew and bowed apologetically. He passed a glance at Kayden Diego and at Lily before dismissing the questions popping in his head. He would come to that later but now he was happy seeing his bos
"Harold Aaron!!" He could be more reliable than anyone else. "My assistant. He's more reliable and knows the in's and outs of the Cruz cooperation" Lily said. "Tell me a little about him?" Kayden asked. "Harold Aaron worked with my dad for years. After Damian killed my parents, I took over the company and retained Harold Aaron to be my assistant. He was faithful while being by my father's side and so he was to me too" Lily explained briefly. Kayden was pleased with Lily's analysis. That Harold Aaron might be just who they needed right at that moment. "He will be with us soon," Kayden declared and stood up. He had to inform Justin to pass a message to the bodyguards and assign them their first job. "Do you need his contacts?" Lily asked. At least with his contacts, it would be easier to track him down. Shaking his head, Kayden replied "There's no need" and went out of the door. In the Cruz cooperation, Damian was furiously stamping his feet on the floor. Harold Aaron had dared
