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
Aden's POVIt was a happy moment in Borgn as everyone rejoiced. It was not news anymore that the rogues responsible for the death of Alpha Carl were killed. Not only that, but Brad —the Beta was back.Katrina did not seem to bother about Brad. I wished I could read minds just like our enemies did to actually know if she hated him that much not to appreciate his effort.I asked Cassel how he tracked me without my knowledge.Cassel said when I was brought back to Borgn after the Raven Park incident. He felt he needed to be there with me fighting these battles instead of staying back with his kids. He explained that he knew I let him on most things I set out to do but that he discovered I could be secretive sometimes and would not say a word to anyone when I was to embark on a mission until after the purpose was complete.He said while I was unconscious he chose to install a tracking app on my phone and linked it to his. He said it felt weird using the app to track me. He added that it
Kierra's POVShe looks at me, still silent as she carefully leans back on the chair. I knew it was hard for her to believe and she was still shaken up by the whole incident. If Lucian hadn't arrived when he did, Beatrice would be dead now. Will I be able to forgive myself if that happens? The whole secret reveal and shocking expressions at the Marina today weren't what anyone would expect. It was past midnight but I, Aden, Lucian and Beatrice were all seated on a round table since we got back from the Marina. They all looked at me like a stranger.It was clear that Aden was also shocked to have found out that I was the reason why all those men lay to waste like that. I didn't expect to see him there, but unfortunately, he was. I believed he wanted to surprise me by showing up at the yacht. When Lucian left telling us he will be back in an hour, it was probably to bring Aden here.My mind darted back to the Marina once more. I was really very grateful to Lucian. With the relief tha
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
