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
Kierra's POV Mr Anderson is always with Aden most of the time now. Ever since Mr Anderson had that talk with him in the study about how he was being distracted with me around. Aden has been a little distant, for days now we haven't been going to work together again.When we meet at home, he pecks me on the cheek, asks about how my day went and that was it. Even such gestures had stopped in the past two days.I knew Mr Anderson disliked me but I didn't know what reason he had to.I am even more worried and being extra careful because Madam Charity wrote something on a piece of paper to me recently. The word was written on the piece of paper "Be careful, Beware of Mr Anderson. That's all I can tell you. Don't ask questions." She passed this paper to me secretly by putting it under the plate containing my breakfast. Why is everyone acting weird all of a sudden or was I just noticing that weird stuff was happening because of Mr Anderson?Ever since that piece of warning written by Mad
Aden's POV Were Moonkings friends everywhere now? What the hell? It was shocking to see the lady I saved on the news be a false witness. She lied about how a man attacked the victims. That the victims posed no harm. She fabricated lies about how I made sure to kill them all but because the authorities came in time, I couldn't pull through with my plan. She also told them how they were four guys and not three and I had abducted one of them. She never mentioned anything about the ladies I rescued. She was an incognito lady, disguising herself as a false witness when actually she was Moonking's spy. A police officer asked her how she knew so much about what transpired and she said "I am a friend of theirs. I came visiting with my boyfriend when the culprit escaped and made this place a mess" "Where is this boyfriend of yours ma'am," the police asked "He's gone to work." "If we invite him over for questioning will he make himself available?" "Yeah, there's no problem with that
Kierra's POVIt was nice to be back here. I recalled the day Lucian drove me here to pick up my stuff. I was so happy I was going to live with Aden. How time flies, it has been several weeks now but it seemed like days.I'll stay here a bit, when I begin to think better, I can go back. I had my issues to attend to since Aden wasn't opening up to me about what was going on in his life until I asked. Maybe he prefers to share everything with Mr Anderson. It bothered me that Aden wasn't coming to my room as he did before. We haven't gone to work together for days now. I was surprised about his sudden change. And all this is happening now that Mr Anderson is very much around.He has been more distant since that embarrassing day when I nearly broke down twice because of the headaches I had. The day my flash headaches put a halt to our intimate moment. It is just too embarrassing thinking about it again.Maybe he thought I was pulling a prank on him and he was angry because the look on hi
Aden's POV"Henry, you are sluggish right now. If you don't hurry up, I will make sure to trash you up real good" I threatened This made Henry walk faster. Charles chuckled at what I said."What's funny, is there anything I said?" I asked"Not at all Boss, he's just a pitiful guy. I wonder what Igatus promised, that they are willing to carry out such evil task" Charles explained Earlier today when I interrogated him before Charles and Piers joined me. He told me Igatus promised them the ability to read one's desires as well as their minds, just like him. There was a lot one didn't know that was going on in the world. And this was one of those things, I thought someone had to be born with such abilities.I have never encountered anyone with such abilities. Even in the books I read in my father's library, it was stated that it was a very rare ability to come across. If ever seen, then it was as a result of a type of mutation that occurred.Perhaps Igatus was a hybrid too, which mean
