Lance's POV “Boss, the man once lived here in Pennsylvania but six years ago he left for France and came back three weeks ago. His name is Dean August and he is an ex convict” “Hm,” I nodded my head as one of the Beckers continued to fill me in with information about the waiter that caused J’s mood to turn sour. “He happened to have been in a relationship with the Luna some years back before he was arrested for assault.” “Assault?” I spat as I stood up slowly. That bastard assaulted my—“Yes sir, assault. He was said to have assaulted a lady and the lady arrested him.”“What lady?” I asked what was more important right now than the information he was spitting out. “Her name is Vanessa. She is the daughter of a senator, one senator—”“I don't care who the senator or his daughter is. Go on with the information,” I requested. “The Luna stood by him only for her to find out finally that it was true and he would spend some years in jail. But he escaped jail after some months” “Okay…
Maria JThe minute I turned my back on Dean, I knew that there was nothing he could ever do that would affect me. Not when Lance is still around. When he had claimed that I slept around, I feared that Lance would feel betrayed and push me away but that wasn't the case. Instead, Lance stood by me, acting like he already knew and didn't care if I really did something like that or not. He stood for me, he even punched him. And that gave me the courage to face the bastard. “I didn't reserve a 500 thousand dollar room only for us to be here talking to a nobody in the middle of nowhere, J” Those words from his mouth made me smile. Although I hid my smile, I was excited that he was ready to continue with the dinner. Not bothering to talk anymore, I began to walk away from Dean and immediately, I turned to walk away, all the fear I had the moment I saw him, disappeared. I think it was because Lance was walking right behind me. “So the nobody is actually somebody after all,” Lance began a
Lance held my shoes in his hands, I was tired of walking with them and I wanted us to walk. He didn't mind that I was walking barefoot and also continued to speak with me. Speaking with the man, I realized how mature and calm he was towards me. He is not as bad as I thought. Because of the event that happened with Dean, I had totally forgotten to speak about Catherine again. He was the one who asked, “About Catherine, should I kill her?” “No!” I almost screamed. Killing her was nothing to him but I still see Jessica in my dreams. I do not want to add someone else to that. “She knows too much to allow her to walk a free girl in Pennsylvania, J” “And whose fault is that?” I snapped. I hated that he talked like he wasn't involved when he was the mastermind of the whole thing. From the onset, I never asked him to kill anymore but he did anyway. “It isn't mine. You are just a magnet of trouble. Anywhere you are, you attract trouble so you can't blame me for always coming when you cal
“Please, I swear, I would not say a word to anybody. I would remain mute till I die. I won't say a word,” I heard Catherine's cry even before I got into the room where she was kept. When I got in, she was sitting on a chair, her hands or legs weren't tied but she was guarded by two Beckers. “Maria J, help me. Help me” she cried. I looked from her to Lance who walked over to where she sat. He took one of the seats there in the room and sat. “I want to kill you but—-”“Please, please, I beg you. Don't kill me” “Shut up, Catherine” Lance glared at her and she pressed her lips together. I could see the beads of sweat on her forehead. Her cheeks stained with tears and she gulped from time to time. “I'll ask you only two questions, your answer will determine whether I release you or not. Actually, I can't kill you because I had promised my darling that I wouldn't,” he turned to look at me. I didn't know why I was flushed but I scoffed at him before turning my face away. I hope he didn
Catherine and I came out of the building holding hands, she was shaking and couldn't stop even when she wanted to. “Hey, Hey, everything is going to be alright. Lance is a good man, he would not hurt you” “Don't let her get things into your head, I'm only so calm when it comes to her. I'll kill you even” Lance stated in a straightforward manner. How does he keep hearing things even if I speak with a low voice or If we are far away? Rolling my eyes at Lance, I pulled Catherine with me and opened the door for her to get into the car. We both sat in the back seat. I didn't care who was driving and where Lance planned to sit.“There is something you need to promise me, Cat” I held both her hands which were still trembling. “What?” Her voice cracked.“You would not tell anybody about this. I know Lance threatened you or tried to scare you. Do not worry about him, I can handle him. I'm asking you not to tell anybody”Catherine only nodded in understanding, Lance had really scared her to
Lance's POVI was in the shower when my body began to react differently. My wolf was in desperate need of my mate and that was something I knew could not happen just yet. Even after telling her that I would be leaving today, she still didn't want to leave. There is absolutely nothing here in Pennsylvania for her. Not even family. All she had was her younger sister, Anna. No friends, no one else. Under the shower, I began to rethink my decision. If I eventually left her here in Pennsylvania, she would be gone in two days' time. There were people after her and unless I eliminate them, they will keep coming until they get their revenge.An example of someone like this was Dean, the new enemy but an old one remains James who I noticed has been the one sending those men who we eliminate before they even dare to get close to her. Since James landed in the hospital, we've stopped three. Thanks to my Beckers who is now J's shadow bodyguard. He was vigilant enough to stop them before they c
LanceI continued to follow the scent of my mate. I knew she would have called Becker if she was alright but she wasn't. What have they done to her?“Alpha, have you seen her?” Justin mind linked“Fuck, no, Justin. What did they do to her? Her scent is everywhere, I can't focus enough to know exactly where she is!” I roared. I wasn't gone yet and this was happening, I am definitely taking her out of Pennsylvania. Her enemies were more than her allies. “You should calm down and concentrate. I think you're just upset” “That's supposed to heighten my senses, Justin. Getting angry is supposed to make me find her quickly. They did something to her!” Not bothering about the people's privacy, I began to barge into every door since her scent was practically everywhere. They were complaining, yelling, and shouting but I didn't care. I am here for my mate. I pushed another door, ready to go in but the door refused to open. I knocked on the door but no one responded. I knocked and knocked b
“I got her, Justin” I mindlinked Justin the moment I got into the car. I heard him sighed in relief,“Thank the moon goddess, Alpha. How is she? Is she okay?” “She was drugged. She was fucking drugged!” I slapped the steering in anger “You have to calm down. She needs you right now. Not your anger but your care” “I will talk to you later, Justin. I need to get a doctor for her. And also get this fucking bullets off my skin” I was in pains but I tried to hold it in for J. I could literally feel the place healing already and I haven't taken the bullet off yet. “We will talk when you're chance. Daphne asked about you” “Let her I'll be coming today” “Yes boss” I turned to J and saw her sitting on the chair with her eyes closed. I didn't know what else to do so I had to make her fall unconscious. Yes, I could have easily slept with her but I know she wouldn't want that. J would kill me if I make that mistake. Stepping on the accelerator, I made a call to a doctor to come and check
