I headed up to Jordan's suite to see him. The guys at the door were not going to let me in and I had it out with them for a while."But, I really need to see him." I said to the guys blocking the entrance and there was no response from them even, as if they could not hear me speak.As I remained there and trying to get my way in, Kai Wren, that jerk's assistant walked towards the suite. Who knew if he was just like his boss too?"What is going on here?" He asked calmly and one of them cut me off so he could converse with him.He explained the whole thing to me and Kai turned towards me, looking at me in a funny and suspicious manner.While I was wondering why he was doing that, he finally spoke. "Mr. Reign has gotten signed out of here." He said and my jaw dropped. "What do you mean by that? He is leaving today?" I asked to confirm and he just nodded."No, that's impossible. We still talked this morning, and...why are you even here if he is leaving?""I came to get something we left.
I could not get any proper sleep throughout the night, I just kept waking up at irregular intervals due to the excitement, anxiety and anticipation that came with the planned meeting with Jordan Reign, on a matter that greatly concerned my life.It was barely dawn when I started to prepare for the meeting. I had myself all dressed up casually and then had a little breakfast, then I headed down to the ground floor. I did not have a car so I had to board a cab from some of the allowances I had gotten."Please take me to Forever Penthouse." I said to the driver as soon as I got in and then he drove me down there in about forty five good minutes.As soon as I alighted from the car, a short sigh was let out as I stared at the skyscraper. What a tall building! And to think that I would still head up to the very last floor...or some floors before that.I walked into the building and headed to the receptionists' desk where I was attended to. They seemed to know about my coming and also handed
I guess there was a lot I did not even know about myself. I had missed my path a very long time ago, the moment I decided to run from my Father's pack just so I could get married to Adrien.And now was the time for them all to start unveiling. I had wasted a lot of time, obviously and just to redeem the wasted years, I would have to work very harder and I was not even sure I was ready for all that.But here was someone who was trying to bring out the very me from me, I did not know who he was, where he was from truly and why he was doing this for me but somewhere within me, I wanted to entrust him with myself."A mission? Hold on mister, what are you even saying? Huh? My revenge plan, returning to my family, how did you know?!" I challenged him straight up but he did not seem interested in saying anything further concerning that."I won't ask you to trust my lead. If you don't want to continue, you can always retreat and go back to your comfort zone then wallow in tears and shameful t
I had never been so stunned. I pulled away immediately but the truth was, that short session of closeness, I enjoyed it but I was not supposed to. "What do you think you are doing?" I was deeply frowned, restraining myself from hitting him."Your lips just looked...""Stop! Just...stop it!" I cut him off. His personality had suddenly changed there and I was even confused on whether this was the same person that said harsh words to me earlier.What had gotten into him?In a split second, he was back to the person I knew. The cold, straight person. "I thought you wanted to leave earlier? Why did you follow the flies?" He inquired and still frowning, I placed my hands on my waist, standing akimbo."I never knew they were bringing me to you. Why would I suddenly want to return to you after all the bashing?""I bashed you?" He raised a brow dramatically and I glared at him. "Then what was that earlier?" "It is the truth, young lady, is it not?" He sent me mute for a while there, then I
The hill I refused to climb earlier? I later climbed it up, but Jordan took me on a different route, one that was even more difficult. "Why are you so evil?" I confronted him, feeling pissed and pained that he really was going to put me through all this stress."You will never get to handle your real self if you are not well broken. Your will first, and that is what we are doing now. Refuse to do it now but I promise you, you will eventually come back for it and by then, you will be going up and back seven good times."I took that as a threat and decided to get on with it once and for all. Climbing took hours and I was almost close to thinking that we were on Mount Everest. Eventually, I got so worn out that I could not keep going any longer. I had the will to but my body was declining.Out of his mercies like he had said, Jordan had me rest for a few minutes and got me back on my feet again. We walked up all the way and nobody announced it to me when we got to the very top.I was al
I could no longer stop the tears from coming out. They streamed down my face as I sat on the floor, in that bush just wailing as I stared at Jordan from a distance. "You cruel asshole." I swore amidst tears and then he started walking closer."You should have stayed there!" He asserted, insisting and I got quite pissed. "Why would I stay there? For what reason? After you left me there to probably...get eaten by beast?" I ran my mouth angrily."What are you even saying? Does it make sense to you that I will leave you up there and do what? Go somewhere far away?" He looked quite amazed at my actions. "Either far or not, it does not change the fact that you left me there literally, to survive all by myself.""Get up." He commanded and my stubbornness set in. Why did he want me to stand up? After the ordeal I just went through? I was not even sure I could stand properly on my two feet at this period in time."Get up, Mira!" He commanded and indeed, he seemed so serious. Slowly, I manag
My confusion just grew by the day. What was Eldrid forest? Whose forest was it? Why was Jordan so surprised like that too? What was with the expression of fear?"I will handle it, take her home." Jordan ordered in another split second and it seemed as if he was getting prepared for a battle, judging from his tone. Kai bowed his head as Jordan stepped out, with me wondering where he was headed to.Kai led me to the basement parking lot and he drove me out in an expensive looking car. As he drove with a straight face, I felt pushed to just ask him questions. "Excuse me." I started with, drawing his attention from the wheel, not totally though."Yes?" "What is...this Eldrid forest and what does it mean to Mr. Jordan?" I asked innocently, feeling so clueless.It looked like he was hesitant to reply to me but he eventually did, giving me a solid no. "I am sorry but I can't tell you anything about that, ma'am." He replied and my jaw dropped, leaving an "oh.."None of us said a word to e
I stayed hung up on the book till midnight, discovering crazy new things about my wolf. The impact the last person who had it, left in the world and so many other things. The energies, abilities and powers were numerous but there was a limitation to all of them.If they would be used for evil, it would backfire and there was certain I could use it too, if I was not charged in my spirit. If I exerted myself too much also, it could cause breakdowns in different forms. The most important thing was the host of this rare and ancient wolf was well trained. I dropped the book and rubbed my eyes gently, they had done a very good work that night. I headed to the kitchen to get a glass of water, going out to see Karima was no longer visible that night.As I drank water from the cup, I heard some fussing from outside. The complex was not usually noisy and I wondered what was going on, especially given that it was late in the night. I moved to the window to peep and see who and what was causing
A week has passed since the incident, I got days off work to rest and tend to myself very well. We had left Jordan to the old lady Annatoria, one of the wisest priestesses in the wolf world. Though aged, she lived in a body of a lady in her twenties, very young but powerful.I insisted on going with them to her place, since Jordan had been put asleep with some strange potion that Madison knew about. She seemed to know a lot about him, any way.I was expecting a small hut filled with smoke from concoctions and sacred furnishings, but rather, we drove towards a mansion at the outskirts of Beatle City. A fucking mansion!After getting through some guards, we got into the main building where Annatoria was waiting. We had no idea she would be waiting but she was, actually.As soon as I walked in, she bowed at ninety degrees immediately. "You are welcome to my humble abode." She said warmly, in an honouring manner.I was confused and lost, I turned to Karims and Madison swiftly with a quest
It was a total mess in my apartment that night. I literally felt like I was going to die because it was already late, and after working for hours I could not even get rest and had to get into a combat with a blood-hungry mysterious guy.Apparently, Kai was delayed downstairs by some unforseen occurrences. He got tricked by some super intelligent informants about his family and that had him on the hook. When he found out it was all an orchestrated prank to delay him, it was already too late as I had already had it out with Jordan to some extent.But the issue there was the fact that we did not know who tried to stop him back there. Jordan was not the type to pull that kind of thing and I was pretty sure we all could attest to it. Karima and Madison were beings attended to medically. Kai had called a wolf doctor that was trusted and he came over to Karima's apartment where we all relocated to. "Let him attend to you first." The divine sisters insisted but I was more stubborn. "You ar
The drive back home was very quiet. And again I had questions just brewing in my mind without answers, I did not plan to keep them to myself for any longer though. Getting to the apartment, we noticed all lights were turned off. "Turn on the lights please." I said, referring to Karima because we were still outside. I did not hear anything from her and there was no result, as lightening. "Karima, please--" I suddenly heard the switch sound and the lights were on the next split second.The sight I saw was so terrifying! "Karima!" I yelled out of fear, seeing her wimping on the floor. I bent down and tried to examine her, wondering what could have happened to her within that short moment we had just entered. Then it came to my mind, then who switched on the lights? Without thinking any further, I knew there was someone in that apartment. As I walked in further, I started to perceive that familiar cologne. *He is here.* My ears stretched at the realization and before I could say 'J
The dots started to connect by default, as I traced down the bloodlines. Even though my memory about my initial self was getting vague already, I could remember the man that would never cease to bring out laughter out of my father asides my mother and me.They were best of friends. Mr. Callum had actually refused to take over his father's throne at their pack, but rather went fully into the business world, leaving the throne to his younger sibling. So, Travis was his son.. hm. "You seem like you know him." He pointed out and my body jerked a Little. "Of course, I do, very well at that.""Oh well, that's very much expected but i was acting on his orders to being you here."...So the whole Greenville thing was not a coincidence but an orchestration? I thought as I headed towards the elevator, so I could join Karima and the rest on the ground floor. I had just left Travis's office.I pressed the button gently and waited patiently for the elevator doors to open as I got lost in thoug
I closed my eyes for half a second there and opened them again to be sure I was seeing the right person. It was him, and he was staring back at me, as if saying "Got you by surprise?"That dude was sitting right there in a black tux.There was this grumpy look he had on, and it also looked like he was enjoying the sight. "Mira." I heard Karima whisper from where she was, watching me. Immediately, I got jolted out of my thoughts and then I took my eyes off him."Once again, you are welcome, all." I said, forcing a very broad smile. "I am Mira, your host's representative for today." I continued as I analyzed every seat with my eyes, then I noticed one of them was empty. Who was it again this time?Just when I was thinking that, Travis walked into the room. My eyes beamed when I saw him, he smiled when he saw me too and I just nodded gently. It was so good to see him there. "So the first thing on agenda is the introduction of every guest here." I announced and as I did the reading o
It was an exclusive party but according to Karima, who seemed to know almost everything about Greenville resort, even beyond the normal team lead duties now, I had to be wearing a party dress too and not the uniform."A party dress? But I am going there to work." I objected, not welcoming the idea of wearing something flashy and pretty for the event. "That's the requirements, Milady." She insisted and I sighed. "But I don't even have a dress." I tried to leverage on that until she called Kai in.He walked in with a cloth hanger that had about three dresses hung on it. I furrowed my brows immediately, feeling stunned. "You told him...to go get me a dress? That's... surprising." I could not find the perfect word to use."It took a whole lot of persuasion before he agreed to go. He never wants to leave your side." Madison, who had been quiet all the while chipped in. They decided to have me wear the Emerald green dress amongst others and then Madison styled my hair. She was almost go
He did not say anything about the Eldrid forest. I wished I could ask but what if it triggered him again? No thank you, I decided to keep my peace.Weeks passed and none of us had heard from him. Kai even came around to our house at many points in time because he was not also aware of his whereabouts.Our place had now become a temporary dwelling place for him whenever we were around, because we all felt like Jordan could show up at any time, and according to Kai, he was likely to come to my place first. And he claimed Jordan had strictly instruct him to protect me throughout the period he would not be around.All the while, we carried on with our normal, daily activities and it was quite hard to restore the normal team lead - team member relationship between me and Karima.I knew a lot now so things had changed, she could no longer pretend but I was fully ready to keep on acting as her subordinate, that's what I was anyway.Madison spent most of her time at home, preparing one thing
Maybe it was a dream? But I doubted it, it seemed all too real. Madison was standing right before me, yes. I was not questioning her existence but the fact that she was in my apartment, at my own place, was questionable.How? How did she get here? Before I could voice out my thoughts, she helped me up and sat me on the bed. I closed my eyes briefly and opened them again to be sure my head was not messing with me. I had thought maybe because of the information I had, I was starting to see Karima as her.But indeed, the face was not changing. "Madison?""Milady, it's me." She affirmed and I furrowed my brows, still thinking HOW? "Lord Reign called me, I heard about everything that happened." She was starting to come out plainly, giving an answer to my question.I was about to respond to her when she went down on her knees. "Forgive me, Milady. I am sorry for everything." Her action tugged at my heart and I moved closer to her. "What are you sorry for?" I inquired, using a neutral ton
"How do we catch him?" I asked Jordan the moment he dropped the lifeless eaglets. "We? Stay out of it, young woman, you will get hurt." He wanted but I remained obstinate."But this happened because of me. How can I just stay back and fold my arms?" I countered him but he was not listening.He started walking away and I went after him. "Karima!" He raised his voice all of a sudden and I could not suddenly move from a spot. It was as if my legs were bound and looking down, I realized something like a woven or entangled rope made out of sticks, came out of the ground and began tying my feet."I'm sorry, Mira. But this has to be done." I heard her apologize and I wondered when she even got there. "Let me go now." I said to her but she was not listening, she went after Jordan also.I thought she was supposed to be on my side? I did not stop yelling throughout the time I was bound, hoping deep down that they would consider me and come for me. But no, I guess Jordan was so rigid and K
