Schuyler's P. O. V.

“What the hell is that?!” I shouted before walking to the door, but before I could even approach it with Honey holding on my arm, it already opened, revealing Archie to me. “Archie?! Don't you fucking know how to knock properly? The alarm you set was also threatened because of what you did!”

He looked at me through an emotionless eyes, “You need to hurry.”

I glared at him for saying that after the disturbance he just made! How dare he?!

“Damn it, Schuyler!” He looked frustrated at me. “Now! Dad's waiting for you! So, just damn listen to me!”

“W-What?” I asked in a confused voice.

Archie narrowed his eyes on me and with a clenched jaw, he stepped aside to allow me to see the view from behind him. I heard Honey screaming while I was rooted to where I'm standing as my eyes glued at the man, lying on the ground—unmoving and dead!

“Schuyler, you have to listen!” Archie pulled me hurriedly on my shoulders and tried to shake me to wake me up from my own thoughts. “They wer

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“Ready yourselves,” Archie suddenly said after a moment of another silence. “The lycans are here.”It seems that his companions weren't able to kill the lycans they were supposed to face. I looked outside of the car’s window and at first, I wasn't able to notice anything myself, but when I paid more attention, I saw the tree branches moving—not because of wind, but because of the lycans running faster than our car.“They’ll block us, for sure.” Honey commented and when I glanced at her, I saw her glancing outside of the window too and watching the lycans. “They're too many and stronger, we can't defeat them.”I looked at Archie in agreement to what Honey said. No matter how strong Archie may think of himself or the people around him, he still can be outnumbered by his enemies—causing his downfall.“Archie, if we surrender—”“We're not surrendering!” He immediately cut me off with a clenched jaw. “I would never.”“They're too many for you to fight alone!” I yelled a

    Schuyler's P. O. V.Slowly, I tried to reach for the other door’s handle before I pushed it open and quickly went out. I run as fast as I can to get away from them, not caring to look back or check if anyone is even behind me when I hear someone laughing loudly, as if mocking me for trying to get away from them.I'm not dumb. I know too well that my speed is nothing from what they can do, but I don't want to end up dying and not being able to do anything…I was about to make a turn when I saw another lycan, running towards me with the killing look in his eyes. Quickly, I ran into another path until I heard something smashing. And when I took a quick glance, I saw Archie… holding that woman to his left hand and pinning her against the car’s door while the other lycan was dead and laying on the car’s hood.“Ms. Savannah!” I heard Honey's voice on the other side. “Run! We will be right behind you!”I didn't answer her nor nod my head to her. I just did what she instructed me to do. I kep

    Schuyler's P. O. V.For a moment, I thought that finally, Archie is looking at me as his family. And although I haven't done the same, I just thought that somehow… we can have a good bond, but I was wrong. Archie is one of those evils my great-grandfather was pertaining to. He is, and he would always be—just in a different way.Silence filled the car on our way to our final destination. Attorney Tim was the one driving and I can sense that even he is having a hard time to guess what just happened to us and we're so quiet.“We're almost there,” Attorney Tim said, trying to break the silence between us, but none responded to him. I heard him sighing before he spoke again. “Archie, what happened to your friends?”I leaned back in the car and just silently listened to them while sitting beside Archie at the backseat. For a strange reason, I can't understand why Attorney Tim forces us to let us sit together, as if we're kids and need to be protected!“They faced dozens of lycans on the way

    Schuyler's P. O. V.Five years later…“What should we get for grandpa’s birthday, mommy?” I heard a soft little voice asking from behind me as I tried to finish cooking the pancakes she had been requesting.With a gentle smile in my face, I turned around to face her. I found her walking towards me, holding a small blanket she loves to keep every morning after she wake up from a good night sleep.Her sleepy eyes bored onto me and I couldn't help, but notice the similarities of her look to her father. How unfair. I carried her in my womb, but she got her father's eyes instead of mine. Though other than that, most people says that I look exactly like her. Or it could only be because they have never seen her father at all.“Mommy?” I blinked for a couple of times before snapping out of my own thoughts. I looked down to my daughter and saw her confused eyes darted at me.“Y-Yes, baby?” I leaned a bit before spreading my arms and encircling it around her small waist as I carefully carried

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“R-Really?!” I couldn't hold myself from smiling excitedly after hearing the good news.“Mommy, who’s that?” I heard Stormi asking from the dining hall.I glanced at her and offered her a loving smile before I bid my goodbye to my manager with the information I needed about the celebration later. I bit my bottom lip in excitement as I made my way back to the table.“Guess what good news I received, baby?” I held her two hands and she only looked at me with those innocent eyes of hers.Suddenly, it made me feel like looking into his father's eyes… again. But I shrugged off that feeling in an instant to not spoil the moment.“Did you get a bonus, mommy?” Her index finger flew to her bottom lip, as if she's really trying to think harder. I laughed at that before shaking my head and she pouted her lips at me. “Then, why are you so happy?”I'm glad that at her young age, my daughter can speak sharply

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“Good that you agree to come here,” Archie said with a grim look on his face.By the years that have passed, Archie and I started to grow a little closer to each other. ‘Yes, just a little, because it took us years to gain each other's trust.’ And just by looking at him right now, I can immediately tell that Archie is not in a good mood, but he's trying to not show it in front of my daughter earlier.I glanced at Stormi and found her having a great time with her grandpa. They're really the closest one to each other. Probably because Stormi is more affectionate to him than Archie. Even Honey was forced to join them along even though she's missing out on their topic.“Had to. I promise Stormi to let her see her grandpa, at least, before his birthday.” I shrugged my shoulders at him as I sat on the counter table. “What's up? You look down and pissed today.”He frowned at what I said, “The old man is demanding me to marry before he dies. Guess who he made a deal with?”

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“W-Where to, sir?” I couldn't hide my trembling voice as I tried to glance at him.I heard him groaning before he slightly opened his eyes to look at me. He looks really weak and if only he’s not holding a gun and pointing it at me, I would manage to escape from him. How the hell did I not lock the doors before driving away?!“To where you're going,” he said in a low voice before he closed his eyes again. “Be quick!”“B-But I’m going to my work… there are a lot of people there and they will s-see you in that state.” Stupid, Schuyler! Of course, I should go there. Helo would be in that place more than any other place he could think of!He pressed his gun on my temple even harder, making me know that he's dead serious wherever he wants me to go.With my trembling hands, I turned the car to the way I should go. Somehow, I’m slowly feeling hope inside me. The company's surrounded by guards, heavily! I should be able to scream for help and escape from this man…. But on

    Schuyler's P. O. V.Escaping from him was the most impossible thing I’ve ever done in my life, only if… I have not done the same to Ezekiel.I looked up at the human sized portrait in front of me. I could feel the people walking by behind me and probably some are wondering why I suddenly take an interest in the CEO’s portrait when we haven't even met him yet. Or to say, I unexpectedly met.A deep sigh escaped my lips before I turned my back to it and went straight to the office. The unit project that I submitted was approved. I should be celebrating right now, I worked my ass off just to submit that one.It took me a month to do my research after hearing that the higher ups would give a chance for us to present the finance security that the company has to develop even harder, but after going through all that stuff today and learning the fact that our boss could be someone who's doing an illegal job like my husband, hence the gunshot, I could tell that the security project they approve

    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
