Kierra's POVIt has been two days since the broadcast and the news about the lady who seeps people's life source. The news was still trending but the fear that was initially there of the woman turning out to be the killer had vanished. It seemed Aden's audio message had done the magic. I was so grateful to him.The evening that I waited impatiently for Aden to return, he came back much earlier. It wasn't until an hour after the sunset that I heard the horn of his car. I was so happy, like a child, I went out of the house and ran to him. When he saw me it was as if he knew I was coming to hug him, he opened his arms and took me in his warm embrace. "Thank you!" I whispered."I'll do anything for you, love," he told me. Aden had decided it's best I worked from home for some time to let the current problem cool off. Two days later we had a visitor. This is the third time he will be coming around here. It was Lucian's cousin, I wondered what he was doing here as Aden wasn't back yet.
Aden's POV"Do we need to be here?" Cassel asks."That's the only choice we have. We need to wait. If we are lucky, he might be back now" I tell Cassel."But the guy I spoke to at the counter said he went to deliver the pizza to customers that made an order and isn't sure when he would be back" I added."Well, we have to keep waiting. Lisa isn't on duty today, she would have helped us by contacting him""Don't you have his contact? Isn't he your colleague?""Well, Elliot is a walking bomb. Well, I see him as one who is emotionally unstable and can be a jerk sometimes. I don't want extra problems, it's best to keep him at a distance. And the tattoo I told you about on his arm had made me so suspicious of him. That is the exact reason why we have to get across to him. To ask him why he isn't engaged with other members. Whenever I see Elliot he's always alone. It began to dawn on me that maybe he isn't a member of that cult anymore, huh, I don't know…only he can interpret most of what we
Kierra's POV"What took you so long?" Beatrice asked."It's the guy who delivered the pizza. He's something else. We were almost at each other's neck" I told her."Really! Was he rude or something? What happened?" Beatrice inquires."I was surprised to see that the guy at the door was the ill-mannered guy I saw last time I was at the Pizza shop.""How did you know he's ill-mannered?""He was yelling at an older man, I thought he was being rude to a customer. Is there anything that justifies that?" "So what happened? Why is your face like that? What did he say to you?" Beatrice asks."What he said made me feel bad.""Why? I don't get you""After accusing him of being such a rude and ill-mannered guy, he told me he was restraining himself from acting rashly. That I was lucky I look like someone he knows. He later revealed that the older man was his father""Huh, really. That makes it even worse. Why would he be shouting at his father? But you said "was". Did he disown his son?""No. Th
Aden's POV"Elliot, do you know Igatus?"Elliot stared at me as if he wanted to deny it. Then he asked."How do you know him?" He fired back."I went to Raven Park," I told him."Why would you do that?" He asks."I was looking for the one responsible for killing all those women in such a gruesome manner.""I see. I'll advise you to forget about looking for answers because even if you find them you can never do anything about it." Elliot replied.Cassel stepped in to speak"So you know, Elliot, this killing isn't just in Kenvy alone but in Borgn as well. So you need to help us with all you know."Not only Kenvy...hum…, so they are already spreading. That's fast" Elliot blurts out."Spreading! What do you mean by spreading?" I ask Elliot."Let me tell you, you are just wasting your time. This is beyond you, me, the Alpha and everyone who thinks they want to do something to stop this.""Why are you speaking hopelessly?""I have seen what they can do. Why do you think I have survived thi
Kierra's POVThe long-awaited call came through. I have been waiting here for twenty minutes. I picked up the call and he told me he was at my door.I went to open the door for him to come in. "Welcome, please have a seat" I offered him a seat in the dining area."Thank you""Would you like some water?""Yes please!"I brought the water to him and dropped it on the dining table. He looked at me and said."Kierra, what have you done? I told you coming back here wasn't the right thing to do. Now we are doomed!'' he speaks to me while shaking his head. "Was it that bad?" I thought to myself."What did I do? And why do you keep saying I shouldn't have come back? You expect me to run away and pretend everything's okay. You want me to let my Uncle and aunt's killers live in peace.""That's not what I am saying, Kierra. Some battles are better left unfought. Have a seat and listen to what I have to tell you." the Whisperer said with tired-looking eyes."Ok," I say, pulling a chair forwar
Aden's POV"Yes, Lisa. She's the one holding me back. How, you ask? Soon you shall know." Elliot said.I stared at him trying to figure out what he was referring to exactly. But no matter how hard I tried. I still couldn't guess why he said Lisa was the one holding him back from leaving Kenvy. I let him be."Ok, if you say so" I answered."I think we are done here. I have told you what I know. And I can't let you get me involved in this. I used to think the Alpha was also part of what was going on in Kenvy but after what I found out, it's sad that he knows nothing and his so-called business partner Igatus and Moonking are the ones pulling him down.""When you discovered the Alpha had no hand in it, why didn't you inform him about what was happening ?" Cassel asked."What! Are you serious right now? I made a deal with Igatus, which is why I am still alive today. Do you want me to mess that up? By the way, what can the Alpha do, he is weak, to be honest. I wonder why he hardly takes m
Kierra's POV"So my uncle never gave up the search for her?" I asked."No, he didn't. He said his wife wasn't the carefree and happy woman he used to know. So he promised to look for Lisa no matter how long it took. He never found her corpse so he said he had no reason to pronounce his own daughter dead." "I could remember my aunt always looking depressed. She loved me, I know. But she was not a happy woman. This was the reason why. She lost a child.""Now you've heard about your origin and you now also know about the sad passing of your parents and the role your uncle played in your life and what they lost too"I stood up and began pacing. This was just so much to take in. I knew I was unique but I didn't know my existence could be a trouble to my kind. "What do I do now Mr Kendrick?""Kierra, I can't watch you hurt yourself. I was there when it all happened. I am doing this because your uncle wouldn't have wanted the enemy to find you.""How can I know who Mikazi's descendants are
Aden's POVWhile Cassel goes to see Menessa. I waited patiently hoping that everything will be okay. When Cassel is back, by night I'll go after Elliot to persuade him to listen to me and change his mind Ever since Piers shared the clip that has Kierra in it. I think I have watched it more than a hundred times. Whenever I was ideal and thought about her so much, I watch the clip over and over. I was happy she had grown into a lady not to be messed with. I was surprised she possessed such powers, strength and speed and the stuff she did to those guys was astonishing. I never knew or saw that side of her before, perhaps she discovered it after we were apart.Although it was nice to see she could stand up for herself, deep down, I was worried because I didn't like the idea that she was getting into trouble in Kenvy. It was later we heard the full details about what happened, that the whole incident took place at the Marina and unfortunately the girl saved later died. People were alr
