It was close of work, and Emily walked out of the office complex staring blankly ahead of her. Her mind was completely preoccupied with weird thoughts.These past two days had been the most challenging for her. Trying to avoid Don Nick is not a task that Emily would have undertaken willingly. But then she had to do it, if not for herself, but for his sake.She knew what Samantha can do, and she was aware that there was no stopping her once she starts.Truly, the fear of Samantha is the beginning of staying out of trouble.Wallowing in her thoughts, she made her way to the gates. For now, she had not yet decided how she was going to leave the company. One of the options available to her was to send her resignation through Mr. Josh considering the fact that he was the one that gave her the job.Emily knew that she will get Josh to agree to keep her decision away from Don Nick until she was gone. She figured that in that way, she wouldn't need to bring up the issue with Don Nick since he
“Don’t try to play dumb with us, Emily, we can no longer be fooled by you” Timberline warned.At this point, Emily decided that it was truly useless trying to play dumb with the twins. Soon she would be gone far away from here, and she will no longer pose a threat to any of their ambition to get laid with the CEO, or whatever their plans are.“I am sorry, but it was all the CEO’s idea, and there was nothing I could do about it. And just to put your minds at rest, I will be gone far from here by the end of the month, and then either of you can have him. I won't stand in the way, I promise” She assured them.Her words sounded ridiculous to them. They hated her audacity and wanted so much to smash her head against a wall right there and then to teach her a lesson never to mess with any of them in the future.What annoyed the twins most is not the fact that she dared to date the CEO having been aware of their respective interests, but that the CEO would look her way a second longer. They
“Oh no, I am so hungry” Emily groaned in pain inside the dark room, hoping that one of the fierce men would decide to take pity on her and release her.“You keep quiet” one of the twins, Kimberly yelled.Kimberly and her sister had just opened the door when they heard Emily’s plea. The room was dark, and the light was turned. Four fierce men stood at the corners of the room without giving a thought about Emily’s constant pleas.“Oh, Miss, please let me go home, I have been here for long” Emily begged as she saw that the twins were back. “Let me return home and I promise that I would be gone before you know it. I can't go on with the CEO, please believe me” she cried.Tied to the iron chair, Emily’s whole body was already in excruciating pain and it was beginning to look as if she will soon become numb because of the inability to move any part of her body because of how firmly she was tied to the chair.She has been dealt with mercilessly by the twins, and the fierce men they had hired
Samantha was inside the sitting room with her mother when Oscar Lee entered the house looking perturbed. “Is she back?” he inquired.“Not at all, daddy” Samantha replied.“This is serious. What the heck had happened to her?” he lamented. “Has either of you been able to contact her?” he asked.“Her phone has been switched off since yesterday” Elise responded.Oscar Lee thought about this for a few seconds before he spoke. “And is she with that man, hmm... Don Nick, is there a way you would know that?” his question was directed to Samantha.“No, she is not. Maybe this time, she had run off. I knew that was what she would do” Samantha responded. “A loser, that is what she is” she gritted her teeth.“She dares not run away, where would she go to?” Oscar Lee exclaimed, gnashing his teeth.“I overheard her talking about Yonder Pearls City. And how accommodating it is for humans and wolves alike” Samantha replied furiously. “She dares not go there, I will look for her even to the end of the
*Ring... ring...*Emily Lee’s phone rang for the third time in a row. She was still in bed and was finding it unappealing to open her eyes and reach for her phone, whose recurrent ringing sound was nothing but a disturbance to her sweet morning sleep.After some long seconds of inner struggle, she opened her eyes halfway, and a tiny sound escaped from her lips. "Ouch," she yawned. She adjusted her body a little and tried to stretch her arms while still in bed.At the moment, she was extremely weak, and for some unknown reason, it felt as if her bones had been mercilessly smashed by a sledgehammer the night before. "Oh... what time is it? I can't believe that I slept off," she soliloquized with sleepy eyes.*Ring... ring...* the phone rang yet another time."Now I better get that," she murmured, her eyes still feeling very heavy.With her eyes closed, she stretched forth her hands to grab her phone, but she winced at the pain she felt coming from her arms. She groped for the phone on
Emily jerked immediately after she heard the strange voice, and she almost flew out of the bed in the process. Who is he, and what is he doing in her room? Her frightened mind raced through a lot of questions and possibilities.Even though the room was not wel- illuminated, she could still see his physique. He was just coming out of the bathroom and had a towel tied around his waist. She kept wondering how he got into her room and what he was doing in her house. She screamed inside her head as a result of the fear that had built up within her.Amidst her anxiety, the strange man looked at her with a blooming smile. "You have woken up; you have been asleep for like forever," he said indifferently."Who are... you?" She finally found her voice.As she questioned him, she watched for recognition to spark through his features, but there was none. She could swear that she had never met him before now. "What are you doing in my room? How did you get in here?" she demanded in a shaken voice.
AT THE PACKHOUSEThe atmosphere was tense even as the cool early morning breeze blew across the gigantic structure of the Twin Sparks Island Packhouse. Of course, why won't everyone be filled with eagerness as they all await the outcome of the day? Of all people, Zanlagar, the great seer, has visited the Packhouse at this early hour of the day.There has been great tension in the Packhouse for months now. Lycan Ryder, the fearsome Dragon Lycan king, has sent a note to the Pack, and in it are words clearly spelled out. 'Drancudie Dynasty vows to invade Twin Sparks Island and leave it in shambles in the nearest future.'In the note, it is stated that nothing would avert this impending wrath. However, to escape from this, Alpha Xavier was given the task of presenting a gift capable of appealing to Lycan Ryder. But then everyone knows the Dragon Lycan king of the Drancudie Dynasty. He hated werewolves, and nothing could be more appea
On hearing his accusation, a spike of anger surged through Emily. Sure, he is rich, and that is the only way they think. She told herself this."Plan..." she heard herself chuckle, even in her extremely angry state. Even the words were distasteful in her mouth.Emily could not help but imagine what he had taken her for. Did he consider her to be a gold digger, an opportunist who only sits back and waits to reap where she has not sown? If that were so, he must be a clown for thinking about her in such a degrading manner. She concluded.But what does she expect? She could only wish that she could turn back the hands of time, and then she would never have agreed to come to the party with Samantha. No, not the party. Of course, she will surely come to the party but will not have taken a single drink there no matter how alluring they appear.Those were alcoholic drinks, and Emily has never been allowed to take any even though Samantha has loads of them in the house. Thus, Emily should have

“W... what...” she exclaimed and the phone dropped from her hands unconsciously.Samantha proceeded to pick up the phone and returned it to Emily. “You may have to watch until the end, sister,” she taunted mischievously.Emily looked at Samantha, her eyes depicting hate, pure hate for the lady to who she had thought that she owes her existence. Never would she have imagined that Samantha had gone to this extent to blackmail her. She just stated that she wants to fight fair, but to Emily, this shameless act was far from being fair. It was brutal, gross, gruesome, and everything bad and terrible.“But... but you can't do... do this, Samantha” Emily cried, and stopped the video that was playing on the phone.Samantha giggled, happy with the tremendous feat that she had just achieved. “Says who, Emily, who can stop me?” she retorted.She loved to see the fear instilled on Emily.“This is... wrong” Emily replied, pointing at the screen of the phone. “It... is every... every shade of wrong.
Emily cannot say for sure how long she had stayed in the basement or what time it is, but she had fallen asleep, and in her sleep, she had the most unpleasant nightmares all thanks to her hunger. She opened her eyes and yawned, and that was when she realized that she had woken up as a result of the sound coming from the sitting room. She tried to cease her breathing but was barely able to achieve that because as it is, she was too weak to properly direct the function of any part of her body. No soon has she woken up that the door to the basement open. She froze, but soon her head was nodding involuntarily in sleep and hunger. “Hey you, there?” Samantha’s voice was heard. “Hey, Sama...” Emily murmured with the last strength in her. She did not try to move closer to the door because she was too weak and she felt that Samantha was only here to bring some food to her. “Hey, Emily, don’t tell me that you forgot to take some food along with you. What are you still doing in there?” Sama
While Samantha was going on with her task, Emily would not stop thinking of the whole event, and she decided to get more answers from Samantha who was the only one available to provide them. “And mother and father, are...” The unhappy Samantha cut in. “Father mind linked me to come home for you. Seems he still got some use for you. Left for me, I would not give a damn. I don’t care whatever happens to you” She said as a matter of fact. Samantha is not one to sugarcoat words. “Thank you” Emily replied nonetheless. Samantha's words hurt her, but she was grateful that she went out of her way to come for her. Without acknowledging Emily’s thanks, Samantha went on. “We are still on the lookout for the intruders, and we fear that they operate through some insiders. And you know how this goes. Should the intruders not be caught, then the humans among us are in trouble...” Hearing this, Emily exclaimed. “Huh...” This is a fact that was clear to Emily, but each time she hears of it, she n
It was a cold morning and Emily woke up from the bed with a fright. The loud sounds and indiscreet growls had woken her, and she looked around her dark room in fear. She could hear the shouting and screams of werewolves coming from outside the house. She took her phone and checked the time, and it was past four in the morning. The noises were getting louder, and all she could do was jump out of the bed. This is an occurrence that she was already accustomed to, and it always happens when there were intruders in the pack, most especially rogues. Being indoors she could not ascertain the magnitude of the situation, and all she was sure was that there was trouble in the land, and as for how big the trouble was, she could not tell but she knew very well that it was huge enough to take her life. Without a second thought, Emily grabbed her duvet and ran out of her room. Every member of her family had gone out to wad off the intruders, and all Emily could do was hide until they come back an
Emily looked up at him to be sure that she heard him clearly and to show his seriousness, he repeated himself. “Yes, Emily, come and live in this mansion with me, and I promise that no one will ever be able to hurt you” he assured her. Emily was no fool, she knew that he can do just what he said. If he said no one would be able to hurt her in his care, then no one would dare to get close to her. But then what would people think of her, what will her family see her as, some cheap whore? She had been fighting all to no avail since that dreadful night with him to make her family have some trust in her, especially her father, Oscar Lee. Emily so much desired for the minute trust he had for her to be restored, and now he wanted to completely shatter her plans with his ridiculous yet tempting offer. Yes, shatter her plans, that is the only thing that living with him would achieve and Emily does not want such. It was enough that she was human amid werewolves, and she would not want to go r
