Kaido, Jeanette called out, her voice echoing through the crowded street. She finally found him. Even though Kaido was masked, Jeanette recognized him way too well. She had spent countless nights in his arms, and she knew every curve and contour of his face. She knew the way he smiled, the way he laughed, and the way he looked at her with such intensity.Kaido turned around, his eyes locking onto Jeanette's. For a moment, they just stared at each other, the tension between them palpable."What are you doing here?" Jeanette asked, her voice firm but laced with a hint of vulnerability.Kaido hesitated, his eyes darting around the crowded street before finally meeting Jeanette's gaze. "I'm sorry, Jeanette," he said, his voice low and husky. "I have to go now."But Jeanette was not having it. She quickly held his hand, her grip firm. "Why did you ignore my calls and my texts?" she asked, her voice rising in anger. "Aren't we lovers? Why are you avoiding me?"Kaido's eyes dropped, and he
Reyes' eyes seemed to gleam with amusement as he gazed at Christine. "I admit that I misjudged you," he said, his voice low and husky. " one of the many secretaries who have worked here. It turns out you are the best. You are so hardworking, and you are everything I need in a secretary."Christine's eyes narrowed, "So, instead of looking for a new one, wouldn't it be better to keep the one, the existing one, that has proven to be the best?" Reyes asked, his eyes glinting with amusement. "And also, very loyal."Christine blinked, not understanding. "I wasn't loyal," she said, her voice firm. "I submitted my resignation."Reyes chuckled, the sound sending a shiver down Christine's spine. "Yes, you are loyal," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "If you weren't, you wouldn't be here right now."Christine sighed faintly, feeling like a fool. She shouldn't have come back. She shouldn't have let Reyes get to her.Without further discussion, Christine turned towards the door, ready to
"At least you know that she is my secretary," Reyes said, his voice calm and collected.Sage's eyes narrowed, her gaze flicking to Christine and then back to Reyes. " I freaking know that, why are you hugging her?" she asked, her voice dripping with skepticism.Reyes smiled, a small, enigmatic smile. "Ehm... Sage," he said, his voice trailing off.Sage's eyes flashed with anger, and she took a step closer to Reyes. "I hugged her to keep her by my side. I don't want her to leave."Christine's mouth opened wide in shock as she stared at Reyes. He had confessed his feelings for her in front of his future wife. Was he digging a hole for her grave?Suddenly, Reyes said, "Eh..." and Sage stepped forward, her hand swinging towards Christine's face. Christine wanted to defend herself, but her hands were still locked in Reyes' grip."Wait, you misunderstand," Reyes said, his voice calm and authoritative.The next second, Christine closed her eyes, bracing herself for the impact. However, nothi
"You're really going to regret betraying me!" she spat, her voice venomous.Reyes, however, seemed unfazed by Sage's outburst. He responded lightly, "I never promised you anything, so how could I possibly betray you?"Sage's eyes welled up with tears, and her voice trembled with emotion. "But we're engaged," she protested. "You can't love another woman beside me. That's unfair."Reyes burst out laughing, his lips curling up in a lazy smile. "I've been trying to love you for years, but the feeling never comes," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Now I'm tired. Let's just end this whole fake engagement."Sage's face turned white with shock, and she took a step back, her eyes wide with horror. "No, Reyes!" she yelled. "I love you!"Reyes shook his head, his expression unyielding. "No, Sage. You don't love me. You love the wealth and power that comes with being my wife. You agreed to our marriage in order to strengthen your family's business, because you knew your father was goin
"So please will you be mine?" Reyes asked. She looked into his eyes, searching for any sign of insincerity, but all she saw was genuine emotion. "Reyes, I...I need time to think," she said finally, her voice barely above a whisper.Reyes' face lit up with hope, and he smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "That's all I can ask for," he said, his voice filled with gratitude. "Take all the time you need, Christine. I'll be waiting."Christine nodded, feeling a sense of trepidation wash over her. She had never expected Reyes to confess his feelings to her, and she didn't know how to process her emotions.As she turned to leave, Reyes called out to her. "Christine, wait," he said, his voice low and husky.Christine turned back to him, her heart pounding in her chest. "Yes?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Reyes smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Would you like to go out with me tomorrow night?" he asked, his voice filled with hope.Christine's eyes widened in su
Jeanette's eyes darted around the kitchen, avoiding Christine's gaze. "Then he called you to..." Jeanette said, her voice trailing off.Christine looked at her, confusion etched on her face. "What do you mean, he called me too? Has he called you?" she asked, her brow furrowed.Jeanette quickly faked a smile, trying to cover up her mistake. "Oh, no, I just said that...ehm...I didn't know what to say. I'm just surprised that he's calling you, I mean, why? How?"Christine brushed her suspicions off, attributing Jeanette's strange behavior to concern. "I don't know, like...do you know what's going on, Jeanette? This guy literally bought shares in the company I'm working for. Like, why? Why does he want to frustrate my life?"Jeanette's expression turned serious, and she reached out to put a hand on Christine's arm. "I'm so sorry, Christine. I don't even know what to do. I don't know how we can get rid of him. He's found you now, and he won't stop until he gets what he wants. He'll do anyt
Christine woke up feeling refreshed and better.As she got dressed, Christine couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. She was wearing a beautiful brown gown that made her feel confident and elegant. She paired it with a pair of slip-on shoes and a sleek black bag, and she felt like a million bucks.As she looked in the mirror, Christine couldn't help but wonder if she was dressing up for a reason. Was it because she wanted to impress Reyes? She had been thinking about him a lot lately, and she couldn't deny the way she felt when she was around him.Christine pushed the thought aside and headed downstairs to the kitchen, where Jeanette and Nadia were waiting for her."Mom, you look beautiful!" Nadia exclaimed, giving Christine a big hug.Christine smiled and hugged her daughter back. "Thanks, sweetie. I'm just trying to look nice for work today."Jeanette raised an eyebrow. "You're certainly dressing up for someone," she said, a hint of amusement in her voice.Christine blushed a
As they walked into the five-star restaurant, Christine couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. She had never been to a place like this before, and she felt honored to be here with Reyes."Wow, this place is amazing," she breathed, her eyes scanning the opulent decor.Reyes smiled and took her hand, leading her to their table. "I'm glad you like it," he said, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "I wanted to take you somewhere special."As they sat down, Christine felt a sense of excitement. She had never been on a date like this before, and she wasn't sure what to expect.The waiter came over to take their orders, and Christine was impressed by the extensive menu. She finally settled on the grilled salmon, and Reyes ordered the filet mignon.As they waited for their food to arrive, Reyes reached across the table and took Christine's hand. "So, are you thinking about my question?" he asked, his eyes locked on hers.Christine felt a flutter in her chest as she met his gaze. She had been t
The next day, the maids had already dressed Christine and Nadia in a royal robe and a very beautiful attire, a royal blue attire that fit the theme of the party. Christine looked stunning, and Nadia looked like a little princess.Just as they were about to leave their room, Christine's phone rang. She picked it up, and her face fell as she listened to the caller. It was Jeanette. "Christine, I have some bad news," Jeanette said, her voice somber. "Sarah is dead."Christine's eyes widened in shock. "What? How did it happen?" she asked, her voice trembling.Jeanette explained how Sarah had tried to kill her, and how Sage had been arrested for Sarah's death. Christine couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had loved Sarah like a friend, and she was devastated by her betrayal.As she listened to Jeanette, Christine felt a wave of sadness wash over her. She wished that Sarah had found a better path, one that didn't lead to violence and betrayal. She wished her friend a peaceful rest, a
Every other soldier was still fighting, and Brandon was also fighting Logan's beta Ruslan. Brandon threw the sword into Ruslan's tummy, and he died instantly. Then, Reyes and Logan continued fighting.Luna Athena was already going crazy, she was scared that Reyes was going to get hurt. She didn't care about Logan anymore; Logan was a beast and deserved to die. But she really didn't want anything to happen to Reyes. With his wounded shoulder, Reyes continued fighting. Christine had to cover Nadia's eyes in order not to see everything that was going on. She was already tearing up and crying, and she stared at him fighting his own brother.Then Logan threw an arrow that was on the ground into Reyes' tummy. Immediately, Reyes winced and fell down on one knee, using his sword to support the other knee.Logan was already putting a triumphant smile on his face and looking at Reyes. "I told you I was going to kill you. I warned you. Now you have to die by my sword."But Logan faced back, an
Brandon left Logan alone, immediately someone came to tell him that Reyes had already announced what he wanted to announce in a meeting room. So, Brandon left Logan alone and went to join Reyes in the meeting room.Reyes didn't know what to say he just looked at his mum 'Mom, I know you love Christine, and I would make sure she becomes the lunar of this pack.'"Alpha Elder Jacob slammed his fist on the table again. "And I said no, we cannot have a human ruler!" he exclaimed.Immediately, he wanted to leave the hall, but Brandon blocked him. Then, Reyes turned to Elder Jacob."I understand your concern for this pack, and I know you feel my wife is not capable of ruling this pack. But I can tell you, as you all know, I was absent in this pack for five years. I was in the human world, when none of you have been to, and she was my personal assistant," Reyes said, choosing his words carefully. He didn't want to use the word "secretary" because he feared they might not understand it. "She
Reyes stepped forward, his eyes locked on Logan's, his voice firm and commanding. "I can, Logan, and I will prove that I am innocent of this crime. And that is going to happen today."Immediately, Brandon appeared, a small recorder in his hand. He had already recorded the whole conversation between Reyes and Logan. Brandon handed the recorder to Reyes, who smiled in satisfaction."Thank you, Brandon. You did a good job," Reyes said, his eyes gleaming with triumph.Actually, secretly, Reyes had already called Brandon from the human world, asking for his help that particular day. They had already planned everything that was going to happen, and Brandon had fulfilled his mission perfectly.Reyes moved closer to Alpha Logan, his eyes blazing with anger. "Logan, I am going to play this recording in front of everybody in the council, and they will know that you killed your wife."With that, Reyes turned and stepped out of Logan's room, heading straight to the meeting room. Brandon held Loga
"Yes, of course, Jeanette wouldn't want me to turn into a cold-blooded murderer," Kaido said, staring at Mark.Immediately, they left Sarah's house with the CCTV camera in their hand and headed straight to the police station. As they arrived at the police station, Mark was about to get down and go inside to give them the CCTV camera, but Kaido stopped him."Wait, Mark," Kaido said, thinking for a moment. "They haven't even found the dead body yet. Let's wait until they do before we take any action."Mark nodded in agreement. They both knew that either way, Sage's life was over. She would definitely be one of the most talked-about celebrities, and her image would be tarnished forever. She came from a rich and influential family, and this scandal would be a huge blow to their reputation."Let's go back," Kaido said, starting the car. "We'll wait for the police to find the body and then we'll take our next move."Mark nodded, and they left the police station, heading back to Kaido's hous
All of a sudden, Sage's phone beeped, and she checked the message. Her eyes widened in horror as she read the words: "I know you killed Sarah."Fear gripped her, and she threw her phone across the room, screaming and hurling. "Oh my God, did someone see me? I'm doomed! What would I do now?" Sage exclaimed, pacing around the room in a state of panic.Her mother, who had been in the living room, rushed into Sage's room, concern etched on her face. "Sage, are you alright? I heard a crash in your room."Sage quickly composed herself, trying to hide her fear. "Mom, it's nothing. Just go," she said, yelling at her mom and closing the door in her face.Her mom looked worried and confused as she went back to her room. She couldn't understand what was going on with her daughter.Sage, on the other hand, was panicking more than ever. She rushed to her phone, which was still lying on the floor, and checked if there were any other messages. But there was nothing.She started thinking of ways to e
HUMAN WORLD Sarah sat in her living room, surrounded by the silence of her apartment. She had not left her house in days, ever since Brandon had announced that their boss, had traveled out of the country and would not be back for a while.Sarah's mind was consumed by fear and anxiety. She was terrified that Sage would come to the office and confront her about her failure.Sarah didn't succeed in poisoning Christine, and to make matters worse, Christine had disappeared from work without warning. Sarah knew that Sage would not take kindly to her failure, and she was scared of the consequences.As she sat in her living room, Sarah's thoughts were racing with worst-case scenarios. She imagined Sage storming into the office, her eyes blazing with anger, and her voice dripping with venom.Sarah shuddered at the thought of Sage's wrath. She knew that Sage was capable of destroying her life, and she was desperate to avoid her.Sarah's phone suddenly rang, shrill and loud in the silence of he
Reyes stood up from the couch, where he and Christine had been sitting, and walked over to the door. He opened it, expecting to see one of his staff members or perhaps a delivery person. But to his surprise, he saw his mother standing in the doorway.Reyes was shocked. He hadn't expected to see his mother at this time of night. Christine, sensing something was amiss, quickly sat up straight in her chair as Reyes' mother entered the room."Mom, what are you doing here?" Reyes asked, trying to compose himself. "What's going on?"His mother looked frazzled and worried. "Reyes, I'm sorry to show up unannounced like this, but the full moon is in two days. We need you, Reyes. The kingdom needs you, the pack needs you. Please, I beg of you, come back home."Reyes' mother was already crying and sniffing, her eyes red from tears. Reyes quickly sat down beside her, trying to comfort her."It's okay, Mom. You don't have to cry because of this. I've made up my mind, and I'm going to come back to
Kaido drove back to the villa, where everyone was waiting for him. Reyes, Christine, and Jeanette stood up as he parked the truck outside. They looked at him, and their eyes widened in shock. Kaido was covered in blood, his clothes stained with Duncan's blood.But Jeanette didn't seem to mind the blood. She ran to Kaido and hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry for everything you passed through," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "I'm so sorry for the pain Duncan made you go through. I'm very sorry."Kaido looked at her and smiled, his eyes filled with gratitude. He hugged her back, holding her tightly.Then, he walked over to his bike and started the engine. Jeanette hopped on the back of the bike, and they both drove off to Kaido's place.Reyes and Christine stood watching them go, and then they turned to each other. They got into Reyes' car, and he started the engine. They drove back to Reyes' mansion, the silence between them filled with unspoken thoughts and emotions.As they dro
