Aden's POVKatrina was livened by our little talk. It wasn't a shock that Katrina kissed me, at this point, I understood that she needed a shoulder to lean on and she was only pretending to be fine. The love Alpha Carl had for his daughter Katrina was great. I heard from Uncle Tim that Alpha Carl found his mate late. Having Katrina after living nearly two centuries old was a hard fate he had to put up with coupled with having a mate that didn't want him even after waiting so long to find her.After Katrina's revelation, I came to understand that Alpha Carl could only survive such a heartbreak because he channelled his love and attention to his only child—Katrina. No wonder he loved what she loved, he showered her with so much love and he never wanted her to take risks because to him she was his one true love. They were both abandoned and they watched after each other.It's obvious now that he didn't want to force Katrina to accept Brad as her mate because this could lead to a repetit
Kierra's POV"Seems you were enjoying your bath. It was taking you forever" I told Beatrice when she comes down. "It ain't my fault, I had to take my time to appreciate all the beauty I see around here," Beatrice smirked."Come! Sit and have your meal," I motioned her to the dining where we both sat.Aden had something important to discuss with Mr Anderson. As usual, they were in the study.Madam Charity enters with a bowl of fruit and a plate of barbecued chicken which she drops on the table." You spoil me, Kierra. With all there is here, your cook is still bringing more. Do you want me to get fat before I get back to Minx? Take it easy on me." Beatrice says as she takes a chicken and begins to rip the flesh. It was a funny sight as she chewed and spoke at the same time.I missed this about Beatrice. She was fun to be with, she was funny and a beautiful friend. I was glad to have such a wonderful human friend."Is she the one who prepared all these?" Beatrice asks."Yeah, she's th
Aden's POVI didn't see much of Menessa and Katrina for two days now. Katrina was finding ways to approach me, but as usual, I avoided her toxicity. It is funny that I was making an effort to avoid Katrina but Menessa on the other hand was trying to avoid me. She stayed in her room more often. Cassel gave her one of the guest houses to stay at. She stopped attending the little gathering we had at Cassel's home in the evening.I decided to go to her today. I was getting tired of this drama. It made me feel awful that Menessa was avoiding me. I wanted to ensure that I didn't do anything to hurt her. So I had to go to her and also apologize for what happened between her and Katrina.Brad is still nowhere to be found, I had begun asking around. I have asked the bar owners in Borgn and they also had no idea where Brad was. For two days now, I have been very vigilant because I knew somehow that someone in Borgn was responsible for leaking information about those kids going to climb th
Kierra's POV"Kierra, this place looks like paradise, it's so calm, no one will ever believe people live here. It looks like a sanctuary.""I discovered this place recently. I have spent weeks in the mansion but had no idea people lived here. And I think you are right, it does look like a sanctuary of some sort, I never thought about it like that""You found this place yourself? Why didn't the werewolf King, ….sorry... I mean Alpha show you such a peaceful place himself?""I don't know for sure but he told me he was waiting for the perfect time.""Maybe he wanted to surprise you and your curiosity ended up spoiling everything….you found it before he could show it to you""Is that what you think?""Uhum looks like it. I have warned you about this curious nature of yours.""It's not my fault that I have the urge to want to decipher things that are interestingly unusual.""And since I came to this place, I have been having this weird feeling," I reveal to Beatrice."How do you mean ex
Aden's POVThe cabin looked new like it was built recently. Why would Brad take it upon himself to act stupid in a situation like this? Brad had a brain but acted foolishly most of the time. Sometimes I don't blame Katrina for not wanting him as her mate.What kind of mate runs off when you need him most? What kind of mate abandons his people to leave by the hillside? I think Brad lost his senses when his father was murdered before him. I can't get a better reason or better excuse for why he acts so daft.I didn't come all the way here to smile with him, he doesn't know what I have in store for him. It's far from a hearty embrace.I decided that if I didn't find him here, I would wait for the dummy here. Reaching the door to the cabin, I didn't bother knocking. I forced my way in, the stench from the cabin almost suffocating me. The place was untidy. A few utensils were scattered on the tables. Cans of beer and chicken bones littered the floor. Two to three mice were running around
Kierra's POVI heard footsteps before the door opened. It was Aden. He was in my room. He got into my bed to join me."Aden, what are you doing here?""Shh..you are loud. Do you want to wake everyone up? Especially your friend, Beatrice.""Oh, sorry." I laughed."Your friend has taken you away from me since she came. I don't get to come close to you often.""Aden, why are you sounding like you see me rarely? We see each other every day.""Not enough, Kierra. I miss touching you, kissing you…holding you." He began kissing me on my neck. It was heavenly, I followed his every move letting him take the lead, unlike the last time we were intimate with each other. Aden was much in a hurry this time, he was behaving quite differently today. He moved to kiss me on my lips, the taste of him in my mouth was delightful. He yanked my clothes off until I was fully naked. Our bodies touched —bare skin to bare skin and this ignited in me a passion I never knew I had before. Aden was slow the fir
Aden's POV"You better start talking now!"The guy didn't want to yield. I asked him where I would find his other colleagues. Brad helped me with the interrogation. We were going nowhere to getting our answers despite how much we tormented him."Did they swear an oath of silence? The bastard isn't saying anything" Brad cried out frustratingly.I needed to use another tactic. Preferably a psychological move. Rogues had a high threshold for pain, so it wasn't easy to break most of them with just torture. They were wild, to begin with…Brad had told me he would move back to town in two days before we caught the spy. He thanked me for speaking some sense to him.It was when I accompanied Brad to collect an item of his from Elvis an owner of the bar he drinks at, was when I saw our saw our rogue guy here. He also had the symbol which I had seen on both the rogues in Kenvy and Borgn. The tattoo… was on his arms. This guy was having a bottle of beer, I went to his table and greeted him b
Kierra's POV"Good afternoon Madam Charity, Hi Beatrice. So you are here. I looked for you all over the place" "Yeah, I was thirsty. So I came to get some water." Beatrice tells me."Ok""I and Madam Charity are getting to know each other. When you told me she could not speak, I felt sad. Seeing her like this makes my heart bleed for her. When I asked her what happened to her, she told me she doesn't want to remember the trauma""Yeah, it's sad. Although she doesn't like saying anything about herself, she's becoming far much better now. She used to be very unhappy and depressed and sometimes you find her lost in thought and sober.""Beatrice, please don't stress Madam Charity with questions. Get prepared, Lucian will take us out in the next two hours." "Huh, that's great news. Double good news for me. One, going out and two, I'll get to see Mr hot Lucian again…" Beatrice cheered.Madam Charity smiled, it was obvious she was enjoying our conversation. She must have wished she could
