Schuyler's P. O. V.

"Who would've thought that they'll still end up together even after believing that they're twins?" Irina laughed drunkenly and was even slapping her seat. "That was hilarious!"

I grimaced while watching her continue to drink even if it was obvious that she can't deal with it anymore. I leaned back on the chair and sighed as the movie ended and we were surrounded by darkness.

"Should we go for another shot?" Irina asked and I saw when she raised the bottle.

I grimaced at her as she tried to stand up, but failed while laughing hard.

"Hey, Sky?" She called before hiccuping.

"Yeah?" I slowly sat down and faced her.

"Do you think… life would be better if I, like you, leave our town?" Irina slowly laid back while looking up at the ceiling.

I couldn't answer her question, because honestly, I don't even have a better life even after leaving the town I grew up in. But Irina, not knowing anything, of course, we'll believe that I had a better life, considering that I also ma

    Schuyler's P. O. V.I couldn't explain why I hate to see Ezekiel today and every time he would show up around me, my hatred would just intensify. Irina had already left even before I woke up and I didn't get the chance to even bid her goodbye. Ezekiel didn't wake me up as well!I was watching the view from outside the car and noticed that we're in the city. It's not far from the mansion, but I feel like it took us forever to get here. And with the fact that there was a deafening silence in the car for the whole ride.Hunter was the first one who got out of the car, leaving me with Ezekiel. I glanced around us and noticed that we stopped in front of a huge and well guarded building. The parking space for the people is wider than the road, but from the entrance, only few people can get in after showing their access card to the guards who would analyze it.I've never been to this place, but my pride is overwhelming that I did not dare to ask Ezekiel. I felt when a hand caressed my thigh

    Schuyler's P. O. V."Come here," after Ezekiel attended a meeting that made me wait here in his office, he came in and went straight to his table. I glanced at the papers in front of the table before I did as he says. "What?"He motioned the chair beside him, "Sit."I slowly sat down and pulled the chair beside him. Ezekiel placed the papers in front of me and I looked at him with a blank face."Seriously?" I asked with sarcasm in my voice."It's time you face these works," he said in a serious tone."You'll make me work?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Thought you'll be more of—'I'm the man, I provide'---kind of husband."I saw when Ezekiel clenched his jaw, but he remained calm and only opened the paper for me to see what the contents were about."If you worry about working your ass 'til sunrise like how you used to do before, there's no need for that." He looked deep into my eyes.It took a moment of silence as we looked into each other's eyes. I had to be the one to break it and take

    Schuyler's P. O. V.After a tiring day with Ezekiel constantly commanding me to read a bunch of papers, we were on our way out when Hunter suddenly received a call and had to have Ezekiel in the conference room, again! I groaned before sitting back on the couch and was reading through the account details again when I felt my phone vibrating.It was a call from Irina. I gaze at the door, but after realizing that Ezekiel won't be back sooner, I answer the call to pass my time."Hey, Sky! Didn't have the time to say goodbye to you earlier, my damn boss is making me work a lot these days!" She snapped in anger. "Damn him!"A soundful smirk grazed my lips, "You have money, why still work a lot?"She groaned in an annoyed way, "How can't I? I have nothing to do when I'm home, anyway." I heard him sighing and I almost relate to her for just laying down back at home. "And besides, since I met your husband, I wanted to be like him—You know, being wealthy and powerful—Girl, he looked so damn co

    Schuyler's P. O. V."What took you so long?!" Irina snapped at me, but she still looked so gentle and maybe even a little tipsy."Sorry, I got into something on my way here." I frowned at the memory of that brunette woman and her threats.Everyone's eyes are on me, some are shocked to see me joining them, while the rest are confused and probably trying to figure out who I am."A friend, Irina?" Someone from our side asked her.Irina laughed before shaking her head, "Shut up! Can't you, guys, recognize her?"Hannah, who's behind Irina, stood up and approached us."Didn't know you'll be here tonight, Sky!" Hannah said as she embraced me tightly while whispering to me. "I'm hoping that your husband's aware this time that you went out to join us?"I bit my lower lip before sheepishly smiling at her when we distanced ourselves from each other, "He'll know.."She raised her brow at me before shaking her head. "When did you become a good girl?"I laughed a little before facing everyone. "Hel

    Schuyler's P. O. V.I immediately stood up and faced Ezekiel while holding his hand. I can feel his anger towards Addy and his body heating up. I tried to block his gaze with a view of me, and thankfully, I did, but his anger was then directed at me for sneaking out on him as he worked.I tried to flash him a smile, but Ezekiel gave me a narrowed look. I squeezed his hand and lowered my gaze apologetically, but honestly, I don't even feel sorry even a little.“Who's he, Sky?” Someone asked.I heard when a chair moved and as I looked back to them, I saw Addy standing and gawking like a hawk to my husband, but behind those eyes was an obvious admiration for Ezekiel. Who wouldn't feel that way after seeing a King in front of you?I frowned a little, never enough to make them see it before facing the woman beside Addy and probably waiting for my answer.“He’s my husband,” I said to her and eyed everyone as well. I heard when someone playfully smirked and as I looked at him, he paid Ezeki

    Schuyler's P. O. V.My body was aching all over when I woke up the next morning. I didn't want to leave my bed and all I wish to do right now is just sleep and rest, but I was forced to take a warm bath on my own when Celeste and Marisse came together with a furious look in their faces, like they always do whenever they see me.Ezekiel's not home, he had to leave with his father and go back in the city to handle their business. While going downstairs, I saw the two maids looking at me. Although Anne was supposed to be my personal hand here, for some circumstances, now that I have been aware about them being lycans, everything is changing.They didn't dare to approach me after seeing my sharp looks, but I remained calm when I stood in front of Celeste and Marisse.“What brought you here?” Pleasantries are not needed with these two, it's not like they're here to ask of my well being.Celeste sharpened her looks when she faced me, while Marisse remained collected.“Sit down,” she said in

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“You're late.” Hannah said with a serious look on her face. “Take a seat.”I pulled the chair beside Irina who looked away from me. Their faces were void of emotions as they eye me carefully. I have seen this coming since I received the message from Irina this morning.I still don't feel good after the argument I had with Celeste and Marisse, but I can't rest my mind yet as I have to deal with these four women. Although I don't see the importance of this sudden ‘meeting’, they say.I remained silent until the waitress came and asked for our order. The restaurant is known for its fine meals, but because of the main reason why we're here, I didn't order a proper one and only had a side dish.None of us said anything until the food arrived and Ember broke the silence between us.“Shouldn't you say something, Sky?” Ember asked with sulking evident in her voice.“Tsk!” Irina hissed before looking at us. “She has nothing to say. It's her life. We were out of it.”“Irina.

    Schuyler's P. O. V.I can't move my body or see anything, but I can tell that there are people around me as they speak to each other. I didn't make any movements to not attract their attention. And as far as possible, I tried to remain still and just listen to them.“How much do you think he would pay us to release his wife?” I heard a baritone voice say and a glass clinking before I heard a chair moving not far from me. “I heard that she's precious to her.”“You can only expect that!” Someone laughed sarcastically. “That man has no heart. Why do you think everyone named him as the deadliest Mafia Conqueror?”I heard another voice laughing too. “This woman would only be a spawn, but surely, his pride would make us earn money from him!”“Ha! What kind of Conqueror would let his toy be stolen from him? He’ll definitely make his way to us, but we'll still get paid!”I clenched my hand and realized that I was all tied up on a chair. My head was hanging and I want so much to move now, but

    Ezekiel's P. O. V.“I saw mommy in the dressing room!” A smirk formed in my lips as soon as Stormi ran to me.As days passed, she became more of me in every physical way, but her attitude was more of her mother. Although my wife says otherwise.“She was so pretty!” She cupped both of her cheeks. “You should come see her now!”Of course, I’d come see my wife, but before that, I must take care of these first. The picnic basket was filled with most of Stormi's snacks. It was all her request as soon as Schuyler went to take a bath.“Did you bring my strawberry cupcakes, dad?” I heard my daughter asking when I saw her sitting at the table and looking at me with an analyzing eyes.I tilted my head to the side, “Don't sit at the table. Your mom might see you.”She pouted her lips before she crawled out of the table and crossed our distance. “Let's go to mommy, dad!”I carried her in my arms as we both went upstairs. Stormi was singing loudly on our way and I couldn't help the smile on my fac

    Schuyler's P. O. V.Gunshots filled the air and Stormi woke up screaming because of that. Mr. Andrews kept on cursing, but he didn't open the door of his van. The driver and guards went out and we're trying to fix the tires as soon as they can, but I saw them dropping dead before they could even move an inch towards the tires. My heart was beating fast and nervous, but I still tried to calm myself.“Mr. Andrews, they're ambushing us!” I heard someone say something over the speaker.“They're too many, sir!”“They must be expecting us!”“Fuck, damn it!” Mr. Andrews shouted in anger. “So, this is why they didn't come right away, huh?! That fucker had been planning this!”Stormi screamed more when gunshots were directed at the van’s door, forcing it open, so Mr. Andrews looked in our direction before he smirked evilly.“You…” She pulled Stormi from me.“No! Let her go!” I kept on screaming to have my daughter back, until he opened the door and exited the van. “Give her back to me! Stormi!

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“You’re a traitor!” I snapped at him.“A traitor?” There was a smug look on his face. “What makes your family different?”“I have nothing to do with my aunt!” “She's still your family,” he dismissively said before he turned his back on me. “Sedate her!”Worry creeped into me as my eyes widened. “No, please! Please, don't!”There were two nurses who came to me and tried to hold both of my arms while the other scientist took out a syringe filled with something. The man left us and that scientist held my hair before pulling it to the side. I tried to get away from his hold, but it only gave him access to inject the syringe in my neck. It was stingingly painful, but I couldn't get away from them.My eyes fixated on my daughter as I hoped to leave my face… My tears flowed while I felt my boy weakening again and they laid me back on the hospital bed, tightening the ties even more.My vision was spinning and darkness was slowly engulfing me again when I heard a whisper i

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“It's incredible how they do that!”“These creatures can be of the same bloodline, but they don't carry the same genes. How is that even possible?”A small groan escaped my lips as soon as I felt myself waking up because of those voices I’m hearing around me. My vision was still blurry when I opened my eyes and my temple was aching so bad. I could feel a sticky feeling from my temple too, dripping to my jaw.When my vision finally cleared up, only then I realized what was happening around me. There were a lot of people piling at the corner and looking at something on the screen. Their faces say just how happy and thrilled they are to what they're looking at.My attention was only averted as soon as I felt a stinging pain in my arm and I saw a needle there, buried in my skin and taking out my blood. Something that's been weakening my body and it was connected to the machines in the middle of the room, where it was also connected to the computer they're facing.‘Wher

    Schuyler’s P. O. V.“Where’s Stormi?” Zehan greeted me with her question. She was walking towards me with Archer beside her.I smiled and hugged her before I knelt to level Archer. “Hey, there, little Arch. Stormi’s with her dad so you two can’t play today.”Silently, he nodded at me before letting go of his Mom’s hand. He walked towards the couch and just turned the TV on. I straightened myself before facing Zehan again.“I heard what happened,” she started in a soft voice. “How are you, Schuyler?”A small smile grazed my lips before I shook my head lightly, “On the process.”Her eyes became gentle before I felt her reaching out to hold my hand, “Hey… It’s gonna be alright.”I slowly nodded at her before noticing a figure on our side. When I shifted my attention there, I saw Honey with an unexplainable look in her eyes as she walked towards me. I heard Zehan clearing her throat before she excused herself and Honey stood in front of me.“Schuyler…” There are only a few times that she

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“Do you also know?”There was a deafening silence between us after I asked that question. A tight smile appeared on my lips as I slowly caressed my daughter's hair while she was asleep in my lap.“Why did you not tell me?” I knew that despite my low voice, he could tell how much pain I was in.He sighed deeply before I felt him approaching me and he sat on my side.“Would you accept it if I told you?” Slowly, I glanced at him with no emotion in me. “But still… I recently just found out about it. And you were already living with him.” Archie clenched his jaw as he looked down. “Beatrix confronted me that day, and everyone heard it. The next thing I knew, the Lycans were already talking about it until it finally reached the Riegos'.”“How did Beatrix know?”“That, I can't tell, but surely, she dug through it. There's no way she’ll find out, out of random curiosity.”I took a deep breath and dried my tears before I carefully carried my daughter to her bed. She fell as

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“You're lying…” I whispered in a low voice, almost not wanting anyone to hear me. “Ezekiel has nothing to do with my parents death!”“Has Ezekiel really managed to get a hold of you?” Beatrix laughed sarcastically. “Even his family knows who your parents' killer is.”“Don't say that, he has nothing to do with them!”“Oh, my dear niece!” My aunt shakes her head in disappointment. “Just how naive can you be? Beatrix is telling the truth. Ezekiel killed your parents!” As my lips trembled and I wanted to attack her for it, her smirk widened while watching my reaction. “Well, perhaps not directly? But it was him who did that to them.”My tears were at their peak when I heard a car pulling over and Beatrix stood up as they both looked from behind me the moment the door opened.“Damn it! That ride was freaking long!” Marisse's voice was too loud as she complained. “I wasn't even able to purchase more— What the hell are you two doing here?!”“Beatrix, what brought you here

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“You okay?” I felt someone nudging my shoulder. A small smile escaped from my lips when I felt her leaning her head on me. “Do you have any idea how much risk I take just to save your ass?”I glanced at Ezekiel on the other table, he was playing with Stormi and Archer, who are only forcing him to go along with them. Even Archie had no choice but to join as well. While Hunter was standing at the corner, smirking while watching them suffer.“I'm sorry…” I genuinely said in a low voice. “It has been a real pain in the ass to all of you, huh?”Hannah clicked her tongue, “I’d be lying if I say you were never, but honestly, Schuyler…. I’d never been prouder to you after hearing everything you did to save your daughter and keep her safe.”My gaze averted on Stormi as I heard her laughing while running away from Ezekiel. She was so bubbly, and she looked really happy.“When I found out that Ezekiel couldn't remember anything, I knew right then that you did the right thing,

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“Done?” Ezekiel's eyes analyzed our daughter's looks before he stared at me. He was leaning at the hood of his car, crossing his arms over his chest, and waiting for us to approach him.“Mall!” Stormi almost screamed in excitement while jumping at the stairs before she ran to her dad. “Carry me, daddy!”Ezekiel's eyes bored into hers before a smirk escaped on his lips. He crouched down to carry her in his arms and they both waited for me to reach them.“Mommy,” Stormi stretched out her hand, as if she's reaching for me so I quickly walked towards her. “Hurry, please!”I chuckled as I showered her cheeks with kisses while cupping them. Stormi laughed loudly before she buried her face to Ezekiel's neck, hugging him tighter. And when I glanced at Ezekiel, I found him still looking at me. Slowly, my smile disappeared before I avoided my eyes on him.I went to the back door of his car and opened it, only to see the child seat already settled in the middle of the car. He
