Kierra's POV"Aden, Aden. Wake up… please… Aden"I was so frightened and confused. The last time I was this sacred and devastated was ten years ago.Aden had collapsed after he succeeded in destroying the light rods in the elevator. I thought I was going to lose him. I recalled the dream I had sometime back. "Was this what my dream meant?" I thought to myself, that there was an impending disaster looming over…Something of this nature had never happened before or it is possible the lighting system was malfunctioning.The doors to the elevator opened just in time. I carried Aden out, even while unconscious he looked in so much pain. He was quite heavy but that wasn't an issue for me as I knew what my strength is worth. His fair skin had turned greyish, with blisters all over. The damage the light caused to his body was bad.I was in tears, I could not call Lucian for help because we left him in the parking lot and he hadn't come up yet. I wasn't sure if Menessa had arrived yet.Now,
Aden's POV"Why do you keep talking to me in such a manner," the much older man asked"Hey man, I am not going to repeat myself. You aren't allowed in here. I told you to get out of here" Elliot yelled "Hey, Elliot you are being rude. Stop it! Do you know him?" Lisa whispered "It doesn't matter. He should leave" Elliot answered Elliot was causing a commotion, the man he was yelling at looked hopeless. Elliot seemed to be getting worked up over nothing. It wasn't like the man was doing anything bad or saying anything wrong, he just wanted to speak to Elliot and step into the pizza shop— well that's how it looked to me unless there is something I am not aware of."I don't want to see you here when I come back. I know what you are here for. You are not welcome here and I am not going to help you." Elliot spoke aggressivelyFrom close observation, Elliot seemed to have a history with this man. It just wasn't mere dislike, it looks like there was something going on between them."Ellio
Kierra's POV"You have changed. Ever since you found her you haven't been yourself. You don't attend the weekly meetings. You are distracted and He is very angry with you" Mr Anderson complained"What do you mean by that? She's my guest. Do you want me to leave her all by herself?" Aden replied"What I am saying is that you are giving her too much of your time and attention. Things are beginning to fall apart and you aren't even aware of the damage this is causing" "What exactly is falling apart?""Hum, I guess the news hasn't reached you yet. Maybe your secretary will let you in on it when you arrive at work tomorrow.""What is this about? You are dragging this out for too long. Tell me since you are here and are aware of the problem.""You can see why I told you that you have been slacking. One of your large companies is affected by the recent meltdown in the market. We have been struggling to revive it for a few months now but unfortunately, I think we have to let this one go as w
Aden's POV I was so angry at what Mr Owen did to Lisa. That was so selfish and wicked of him... He knew Lisa wouldn't dare go against his wish because Lisa needed the money to see herself through college, and Pizza Lovers was the only place she had for now.I thought of sending Charles and Piers to teach him a lesson but I didn't want to deprive myself of the pleasure of seeing his face when I was done with him.Mr Owen was a man who drank a lot, even at work he drank when he had the time to spare. I met him drinking in his sitting room with the remote control in his hands switching from one channel to the next. I was here to threaten him and make him grant Lisa her wish. The faster I get the job done the better." What's a werewolf doing here…Who are you and what do you want?" Mr Owen cried out in horror, I guess my size alone would give him nightmares.I was expecting such a reaction from him. I wasn't stupid to meet him just as a human. I had to shift.I picked him up, lifting h
Kierra's POVOddly, I haven't seen Aden for the whole day. I asked Madam Charity and she said he hasn't come downstairs since morning. She told me his breakfast and lunch were all taken upstairs to his room.I knew he wasn't sick. Something was wrong for him not to show up at all. Even if he decided not to come downstairs, at least he usually used to show up in my room to check up on me or say a simple good morning "Or was it what Mr Anderson shared with him yesterday?" I marvelledI went to his room and knocked on the door. There was no answer. I knocked again, but still, there was no answer.I turned the knob and the door opened.Aden was sitting on a chair with his legs on his desk. This was where he usually did anything work-related when he came home.He looked lost. He was only in his trousers and stockings. He continued to look into space, not aware that I was in the room."Aden. Are you alright?" I tapped him on his shoulder pulling him back to the present."Kierra, it's you
Aden's POVIt's been ten minutes since I knocked at the door and no one has come out to receive the Pizza yet. I was getting impatient. I was about to take my leave when the door swung open.What I didn't understand is why they took so much time to open the door. I could hear movements in the apartments but no one came to answer the door in time. I could see a bunch of guys having drinks and playing cards. They were four of them or probably they were others, I couldn't tell.There was something strange going on in this house, I felt it. That gut feeling of mine again."Here you go sir, your order"i handed the package to the man who answered the door."Oh sorry to keep you waiting. We forgot we ordered some Pizza. We were so focused on playing cards all day. And we had to fix broken water pipes in the bathroom." He said "There's no problem" I replied. "Hope there's a lot of meat in it," he asked. He looked so friendly but my wolf warned me not to trust that smiling face, it was a ma
Kierra's POVWhat happened a few minutes ago in Aden's bedroom was beyond my comprehension. I have looked forward to the moment when we will both be one, in body and soul. Irrespective of whether we ended up as mates or not. I love Aden and I am willing to be with him. I was embarrassed when I cried out before Aden could have intercourse with me. It was about to be a special moment for me, a moment that should not be jeopardised by anything but…That flash headache destroyed everything, it was something I have never experienced. "Why was I experiencing it now?" "Or was I falling sick". " or perhaps was it still the effect of me outperforming myself to save that kid that night?" These were questions that I was asking myself. That second flash of headache felt like I was about to die. This m made me violently push Aden away from me. I was surprised that I did that. I wasn't in my senses.I concluded that It could be that I pushed him out of pain. In a few minutes, I was fine. I fe
Aden's POV"Huh, so you guys think you are smart, right?" I whispered to Henry I'll commend them for their smartness by hiding the entrance with a rug but this proved they were crooks, men who looked naive like this were the worst. Just look at my naive twin brother—he turned out the worst.Before I dragged the carpet, I needed to be sure of one thing. If they also had the tattoo of the crown and moon.I checked the bodies of the two guys on the floor but their bodies were clean, with no tattoos. I checked Henry as well, but nothing. I asked Henry if the idiot I threw out had any tattoos too. He said none of them had tattoos.This only meant that these four guys were not part of Moonking's ring of loyal men but were helping him deliver his victims."Who is Igatus?" I asked "He is the Moonking's right-hand man" Henry replied "I see. You know the MoonKing?" I asked"No, Igatus always mentioned him as his boss but we have never seen him. There's a rumour that no one has ever seen his
