“Ouch…”

“Sorry, honey” Aunty Claire whispered as she tried to position Uncle Jimmy well on the couch. I just stepped into the house to see them in that position

“You!” Uncle Jimmy raised his finger at me but I wasn't in the mood for their talks. I needed to leave the house to go to the club already.

My eyes gaze around looking for Melinda but only Uncle Jimmy and Aunty Claire were in the living room.

I walked right past them and went straight to the room to dress up for work at the club. I saw Anna on the bed in a different position than usual, from where I stood, I could hear her gentle sob

“Anna?” I called in surprise. Why was she crying? I rushed to her when she didn't respond to her only to raise her head up to see bruises on her face.

“What the fuck!” I yelled so loud that I had totally forgotten that I shouldn't cuss in the presence of my younger sister.

“Who the hell did this to you?!?” Anger gushing through my veins. I'll tear this family apart if it happens to be

    They all froze, Melinda was still on the ground yet her parents said nothing after my threat. Mr. Lance had indeed left a good experience for them to forever remember. Pulling Melinda hair hard, I raised her to her feet before giving her another resounding slap that caused her to fall to the couch“When I place only one rule, I expect that you all follow that single rule!” Another slap landed on her left cheek when I got to where she was. Tears rolled down her eyes but I pretended not to see it.“That's what you made my Anna feel, you should feel some more!” The slaps continued till she began to scream and beg. Melissa had rushed over to her parents, crying that they should do something. Her friends stood by the side, not daring to even raise a finger at me. “The next time a tear drops off Anna's eyes, I promise you all that you'll experience hell!” I spat before getting up from Melinda's body. I had locked her down on the couch with my legs but I Finally got up when I was satisf

    For the first time since I met Mr. Lance at the club, he wasn't available today. My eyes scanned the entire club but couldn't find him. If he had been here, his cologne was the first welcome I would have gotten but he wasn't. I was sure of it.I didn't bother to go down to the crowd to dance with anyone, Melinda also didn't show up today, guess who made her absent at the club tonight?“Are you okay, Red?” Henry asked me after I was done changing to my usual clothes. “Hm, yeah. Why do you ask?” “Huh, you didn't make much today. Where is your favorite client? The one that normally gives you more than enough just for a dance?” I rolled my eyes at Henry before moving to Boss's office to drop my tip for the night. When I got to Boss's office, he was with one of the new girls,“Boss,” I called, ignoring what I was obviously seeing. They were making out in the office. “Red,” he stepped away from the girl who I saw to be Hailey, the idiot who didn't have fear but came to dance for Mr. Lan

    “You know what Zack, just shut up, I don't like him and I was only doing my job since he loves me around him”.Zack nodded and the car became quiet till we got home. I thanked Zack before coming down from the room, I made my way to the house and fell on the bed to sleep. My thoughts drifted to Mr. Lance and I wondered if I should call him to ask him why he didn't come around. It was strange not to see him at the club today. Almost suddenly, I drifted to sleep. The next morning, I was surprised to see that I had woken up early. I saw Anna preparing for school“How's your face?” I asked, still sleepy. “Not completely healed, I wished I could magically make the swelling disappear. I don't want my crush to see me this way!” A small chuckle escaped my lips, “Really?” “Yeah, now I look like a fat chicken ready to be roasted!” She whined as she stared at her beautiful face in the mirror again. I swear, I want to give Melinda another beating for what Anna's saying right now. “Just give

    After James left, the restaurant became quiet, only a few people knew what had happened. Jake, Sarah, and Rachel looked at Catherine,“When did you come? You're not on duty today, right?” Catherine nodded her head before turning to face me, the boss also looked at me for a while before heading back to his office. “Maria J, I'm so sorry,” She apologized and I frowned, what did she do? She was the one that made sex with the man slut, not me so why was she apologizing to me. “What for Cat? I know James is foolish, he is the one I'm upset with not you,” “The thing is….” Catherine began to pick her fingers as she spoke. Her eyes left me to look down at the fingers she was playing with. “The thing is?” I asked, confused. Jake, Sarah, and Rachel remained mute as they also wanted to hear the story. “James wanted to get back at you desperately, so he called for Sofia and me. He made us swear to help him get to you else he was going to report us anyway*“Blackmail,” I spat while shaking m

    At exactly 5 pm, I picked up my bag and headed home. My fingers have been itching to pick up my phone and call Mr. Lance but I wasn't going to do that, I wasn't going to be concerned about his presence. Whether he was still in Pennsylvania or not, I don't care and I won't care. I had left the parking lot, making my way to the bus stop when I saw Sofia. She wasn't on duty, what was she doing here at the office? Catherine left a long time ago as well. Immediately after the problem was settled this morning, she left. “Maria J” She called, her face masked with a smile I could tell was fake. “Sofia, what are you doing here today and at this hour?” I asked but she said instead,“Catherine called me and informed me what happened. Are you alright?” I raised a brow, didn't Catherine make me promise not to tell Sofia saying she would be upset about the whole thing? Not wanting to concern myself about useless things, I nodded and replied,“I'm fine, Sofia. Hope you're well” “He came to my h

I had to rush back to the pack to attend to themAs always the meeting was a stupid one and with the look on their faces, I could tell that indeed someone had given them information that I had left the pack.

    Maria J“And you think I didn't?” I asked with an arrogant look on my face as he helped me out with the ropes. Suddenly the light was turned on, it was no longer dark. That was when I noticed three Beckers stepping into the room where I was. “Take them and get out now!” Mr. Lance growled. I had never heard him sound so angry before. He looked like if they didn't obey him immediately, he would kill them. I could feel the anger from where I sat. Why was he more upset than I am? I was the one who got kidnapped and almost raped her. I could hear the screams of Sofia while the guy beside her tried to fight with the Becker. I swear, I can't understand what these men were fed with, they were too strong to be human. One slap from Mr. Lance had caused James to black out. “I said get your dirty hands off me!” Sofia kept yelling. I wanted to see her and laugh at her but Mr. Lance was standing in front of me. I still could not figure out why he wasn't moving until I saw him taking off his s

    If I didn't sound the warning loud enough, he would kill them. He has done it over and over again, I feared his anger. “Why not?” He asked. His once relaxed expression had turned into a frown. He didn't like where the discussion was heading “Because they are human beings like you and I, Mr. Lance. You cannot go about beating people up and down” “Then they shouldn't go about touching what is mine up and down?! Why didn't they go for other girls? Why not someone else? Why does it have to be you?” He fired backI froze as I stared at him, there was a fire in those eyes of his. He was angry and I was too, but his anger was worse, I didn't like the look in his eyes so I reached for his face. My fingers brush the side of his eyes.I'm not so sure who moved first but we were now very close to each other. His face directly in front of mine caused me to close my eyes and his intoxicating fragrance assaulted my nose again.‘J, don't do this. J, don't do it’ Voices rang in my head but instead

According to what Lance told me, this was a common ritual practiced in the pack and it had to be done officially to declare us both as husband and wife.It still feels like a dream sometimes when I think about all that has happened in the past so far.

Do you feel more better?” He asked hurriedlyI smiled brightly seeing how Lance was concerned about me“I’m fine, Lance.” I mouthed“I’m glad you are okay.

My hands wrapped around my head as I fight a sudden nostalgia, I don't even know exactly what its, why the pains are bitter in most cases, some are sweet and enticing. I buried my heads downward trying to control my system to be in motion with the whatever it's I'm facing."You see?"

    Lance POV From beyond, my nose picked up J’s unmistakable scent, my heart pounding with a mix of hope and dread. I picked up my pace, but came to a halt when my nose picked up another scent, mine. Wary once more, I picked up my pace, quieter this time, and looked towards the source. Beyond the trees was what looked like a cave. I had no doubt J was there. I glanced behind him and beside the cave, but I couldn’t pick up any scent apart from ours. This wasn’t going to work. J could be at risk currently while I was waiting on a ghost. I left the comfort of the trees and dashed into the cave. There she was, lying motionless on the ground…“J?” I shouted, my heart dropping when she didn’t respond.I rushed to her side and growled in fury when I noticed that her hands and legs had been tied to the stone. Desperately, I placed a finger under her nose and on her wrist and finally breathed again when I noticed that she was still breathing. Her pulse also sounded strong. Just unconscious then
