His Rejected Slave 54
Mate, I didn't see that coming!Ordinarily, one would say this was straight out of the blues, but this was straight out of nowhere!I had sarcastically asked that question. I guess it was the frustration of not getting the kind of reaction I wanted from him despite the taunts. I swear, I had not expected the 'yes' answer from him.He was scared of me?How can a faceless assassin that had turned a once peaceful city into a ruin, evaded security agencies be scared of a mere TV Presenter with next to no combat skill?Kaff! That's impossible!He definitely is up to something! This must be the party he asked me to bring my A game to."Why would a murderer with no conscience be scared of a mere TV presenter? Or, have you suddenly lost the will to fight me like a real man?," I sounded, laughing really hard, all in a bid to draw him out."Did you bring your A game to the party?," he just asked. He always sounded so relaxed, as if nothing bothered him. I was really curious to see his face."

That's how I ended up locked behind bars for the next two weeks. It's one experience that will continue to leave a very bitter taste in my mouth. The inmates at the prison block treated me so badly, like the heartless murderer the entire city had tagged me."All hail the celebrity killer!," they would often taunt me.Everyday was like a hell in a cell, a constant reminder of what they had made me become that I was not.I had managed to grab myself a new lawyer, even though I wasn't sure to what end. And he made sure to confirm what I already knew.He had walked in, wearing a gloomy face. He looked at me for a moment and then looked away almost instantly."Hey, what is wrong?," I asked him, trying to get him to look at me."Everything," he just said, not even bothering to look my way."Then talk to me about it." I guess I already had an inkling what he wanted to say."I can't help you""Why?""Hey, you know I would love to, but my family comes first. I would not want to put them at ris

DECLAN"Who was that?," I asked, curious."The butcher," he said."Who?""Who else!?""The alpha?""He was not the alpha then; he was just a lone wolf who was trying to build his own pack.""Was that why he bit you?""Partly. He said I had humiliated him that day at the restaurant.""But he could have taken it all out on you. Why the entire city? Was he some psychopath?""He said they had also disgraced him by putting up his picture out everywhere, even though no one really knew what he looked like.""So, it was basically about revenge, right?""You got that.""I see. Tell me, what happened on the night you attacked the prison guards?." I had patiently listened to him, so, I didn't wanna miss out on any key event. Somehow, I felt his story held the key to lord Dwayne's defeat."You are just like your real mother. She always paid attention to details, even though Dwayne was one fatal mistake she didn't pay attention to. Back to my story. I was shocked to find him there. I can't

JASONTo be alive is underrated.Is there anyone luckier than I am?I had just gone through the shadows of hell…And returned!I couldn't have been more lucky!"If she finds out what happened here, I will come after your parents, including everyone you love, and then, I will save the last and best for you. I guess you know better what that means," he said to me, referring to Kianna as 'she.' "I swear by anything, I will not tell her!," I frantically said."It's your choice. Whichever way, you lose""Thank you."He ordered the men to transport me back to a 'safe place,' as he put it. They waited until it was midnight before they embarked on the journey. Just as they had done the first time, I was blindfolded and tied up as they put me in their van and drove off. I can't tell for how long we rode on the bumpy road, but it was a hell of a journey. I was in excruciating pain all through. My left leg hurt so much from the gunshot he had fired. Even though they had hurriedly

TORROSometimes, the good people are the real bad ones!We get too overwhelmed with their goodness that we don't see the script behind it.Everyone thinks I hate him, but I don't, and I don't have to prove it to you. All I just want is to have him not take Kianna away from me. Okay, if I really hate him as everyone suggests, why didn't I just put the last bullet to his head? No one would have known what I had done, except the one who had given the greenlight to his execution.I guess you will never guess correctly who, even if I placed a million quid in front of you.Yemi!When I spoke of good people being the real bad people, I had no one else in mind. Of all people, she, sympathetic with me, had shocked me with her suggestion."Have you ever heard of taking the bull by the horn?," she had began."Of course!," I said with such surprise. How could she ask me such elementary question."Do you know what it really means?""I fucking have no idea why you're asking.""Just an

JASONSometimes, you never know how much you mean to people until you are lost. Well, maybe 'lost' isn't the right word to describe the feeling, but, whatever, it makes sense to sometimes go under the radar just to know whether your life counts for the right reasons.Valle de Guadalupe was the place."It will cost you a lot of money to get to New Jersey from here, and I don't have any money on me," Mr Alvarez had said to me.I didn't give a fuck how it happened, but I just wanted to get back home to my family that night. I didn't think it was safe out there, and I did not want to put the lives of Mr Alvarez and his life, Alice, at risk. So, I tried to bargain with him."I don't have any money on me, but, see," I said, pulling off the only asset I had on me. It was an old gold necklace my grandfather had given to me the day I turned eighteen. I don't know what it's worth now, but I hope it's worth my safety. "Here, take it, it's all yours, if you can let me use your vehicle

Love is ruthless!Love makes us lose the ones we love for love!Damn it!Hearing my father say those words got me lost for words. How could he even ask me to let go of Kianna!?Holy smokes!I've heard him say so many things that didn't hold water, but this was top bin. Kianna was not just any friend, she was one that my family had warmed to. Yes, she's a wolf, but a harmless one."Father!," I called out, surprised. "I can't leave Kianna," I protested."Tell me, would you rather have us all dead just for her?""But she has done nothing!""Don't you fucking get it!? This is not about what she has done, but what your ties with her will do. Her mate, or whatever name he's called, will come for us if you persist. You said that yourself, didn't you?""Father, I understand your fear, but you have nothing to be worried about. I've got everything under control," I tried to sound relaxed, even though I was everything but."I hope so; I fucking hope so." He walked away.Whatever!I was not going

KIANNAHe only said he was going to be away for a few minutes. "Okay, at most, one hour," he had added.The sun had nearly gone to rest, yet, he was yet to return. "I apologize for taking this long, but I'll be back soon," he had said more than two hours ago. I guess I have no understanding of what 'soon' means. Frustrated, I fell asleep. I woke up to a heavy bang on the door."Open the fucking door or I will force my way in, Kianna. I know you are in there alone. Declan cannot save you."Immediately I heard his voice, I jumped up from the bed. I did not need a second thought to know who it was, or why he had come for me. Finally, I had been found out. I was so scared that I didn't even know what to do. His voice kept on reverberating, almost shaking my heartbeat to a meltdown."Open the fucking door!," he thundered again.Quickly, I picked up my phone and dialed Declan's line. It rung several times, but he wouldn't pick up the fucking phone. Frustrated, I sent hi
