Aden's POVIt's twenty-four hours since we stepped into Kenvy and still we have heard nothing from Charles. Honestly, I was worried. All I could think about was that he had probably been caught by the enemy.It was bad enough that I, Cassel and Piers could not go out now to find him. We had to wait until it was dark.I told Piers and Cassel that we had to leave this apartment because it wasn't safe anymore. I was so confused, I had never been this lost in my life. I couldn't risk meeting with Menessa, Lisa or anyone I cared about because I could be endangering them. It was 11 pm had already spoken to Micheal, my business manager, about needing one of my houses in town. So we would be hiding there for now. There was no need to hide the part where I had properties in Kenvy since Cassel had told me he had discovered it long ago.There was a sound at the door. Well it was unexpected, the sound of someone trying to force the back door open and not the front door but the back door, the o
Kierra's POV"This isn't fair! I think I will go to the station, I have to clear my name" I say to Menessa."Menessa, what are you doing here by this time of the night?" Aden asked as he made his way down the stairs."Good morning boss, there's trouble. That's why I am here. I called but no one was picking my call up so I decided to come myself. Take a look at this" she shows Aden the clip."What is this? How did this get viral? Who took this?" Aden asked." Aden, the girl we saved, is dead. Before help could come for her" I disclosed to him."What! All this happened not up to five hours ago and things have already turned out this bad. How is she dead?""Well, the worst part is, few are now saying Kierra is the killer. We don't know what the whole of Kenvy will think by tomorrow" said Menessa."Ladies, if you will excuse me. I need to get somewhere. This must be tackled quickly. I need to do something about this! And Kierra, I overheard you saying you are going to the station. Don't
Aden's POV"My real name is Aden. I am sorry I lied to you, Lisa. It was because I had an important mission to carry out and I needed to be in disguise""So who exactly are you?""Do you really want to know? ""Yes please because it's pretty obvious you are no ordinary person. And you are now the most wanted man in Kenvy. So there must be a lot to know about you!""I am the twin brother to the Alpha of Kenvy.""What? Alpha…Ad… nooooo no. What the heck? You have the same name! I personally don't know how he looks and I don't care but no…..wayyyyy'' Lisa speaks with her hands over her mouth."You don't know what your Alpha looks like. Why is that?" I was curious."Well I don't like him, I never did and I wouldn't say I don't know how he looks completely. It's just that I can't even remember what he looks like because I have never been interested in anything regarding him. An Alpha that treats his own people like a plague. If not, why can't he mingle with his own people frequently? He st
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
