"... when you're this stupid... you should naturally have a friend like Aiden who dares speak up for you.... even putting his life on the line like this.... You have yet to report to me on the results of your mission Aiden, see me after this.... don't worry, I won't kill you ....yet." I said calmly when I noticed he wasn't breathing, Aiden audibly sighed in relief and gave me a grateful smile, nodding before turning and glaring at the still furious youth... some people truly didn't know what was good for them.
Wren's thoughts: Aiden really became daring, speaking on behalf of someone when the Alpha is like that...I could hardly even breath!Aiden's thoughts: OMG, I practically saw my life flashing before my eyes, how did I befriend such a dummy, could have gotten us both killed....I'm too handsome to die young, but then again...Kalen loves me too much....he couldn't possibly live without me... hehehehe.'Whatever it is you're thinking right now will get you killed, wiKalen's POV~My cold gaze slowly moved across the gathered wolves again, they all seemed to be having conflicting thoughts."Regarding the issue of my mate...I will not tolerate any further interference." I stated clearly, they bowed in unison and I nodded."Now moving unto other matters...is there any other issue the pack wishes to raise?" I asked, the clearing was quiet for a while before a voice sounded out."There is, that is if the Alpha feels it is now my turn to speak." The young wolf from before said sarcastically, I raised a brow, resting my gaze on him as he stepped forward."Within a wolf pack...the Alpha should naturally be the strongest wolf, however it has been years since our Alpha last shifted, it has me wondering if the rumors that our Alpha has lost his wolf side are true...." The young wolf trailed off and silent murmurings began spreading through the clearing, my gaze darkened slightly as I understood his intentions, I wasn't surpri
"I issue you a challenge for your right to the leadership of dark moon pack Alpha Blade." He said darkly, I nodded in approval."Challenge.... accepted." I responded in a deadly tone, as my battle trained body immediately got ready for a kill.The pack immediately rearranged themselves effectively, creating a huge space in their midst where the fight would take place, the wolf arrogantly walked to the center and stood there confidently, waiting for me."Is there anyone who also desires to challenge me?" I asked the crowd, one wolf wasn't enough to satisfy my blood thirst, I wanted to know all the disloyal ones now, I wouldn't give them the chance to back off when they realized that even without my wolf, It would be impossible to take me down, I was a Blade after all, we never relied solely on our wolves for strength, rather they were an added advantage that made us invincible, from a young age, I had been trained to be every bit as deadly as a wolf, my human for
Miwa's POV~I walked into my brother's huge office, he lifted his gaze to me, chuckling at my disguise, I unwrapped the hijab and glared playfully at him before moving to the back off his chair and grabbing his suit jacket which he had carelessly discarded, for someone who was usually crazy about keeping things in order, it was quite surprising."Rough day?" I asked in concern as I corrected the jacket that was turned inside out before taking it to the closet and hanging it up. Yeah, my brother's office had a closet, perks of being the vice president of a conglomerate, not just a closet but his whole office space was like a palace, built for comfort considering the long hours he spent here usually. It wasn't just him though, my father didn't slack on the decor of the whole building when he took over from Grandpa, and it was again redesigned after father succeeded in making Akunna corporation almost five times as successful as it used to be, he wanted the headquarters of Ak
Was it hard to get in?" Deji asked me as he concluded his work and left his desk area, coming to me with the papers in hand. He was referring to me getting into the company and up to his office unnoticed."Not really." I replied with a shrug and he frowned slightly, I raised a brow at him."I should fire the security... how could you go completely unnoticed, it seems they're slacking on the job." He said in a serious tone, I chuckled slightly, only my brother would use his own precious sister as a test for the prowess of his security."Did you want me to get caught?" I asked him amused and he shrugged."Not necessarily but I at least expected some suspicions which I would have to help cover up, it would prove they're alert." He replied, I rolled my eyes."Don't blame them, although disguised, I came in with Ty, he's pretty high up in their ranks so naturally him coming in with someone, strange or not wouldn't attract too much suspicion, they probably labelled it as on
Kalen's POV~"The preparations are nearly finalized Alpha, do you still wish to go personally?" Johan asked me after getting off the phone with the manager of Blade entertainment, I lifted my gaze up to him."You don't think I should?" I asked him and he shook his head slightly."I'll follow whatever you decide." He replied while Wren chuckled, standing up from where he sat on the couch, bringing with him the files he was working on."He probably means to say that it'll be your first time in Nigeria, the weather conditions are vastly different and it's unknown territory, we have good reason to worry." Wren said, I frowned."Blade corporation intends to expand to West Africa, Nigeria is a good start, I expect to be visiting there alot." I replied, they nodded knowing it was necessary for me to become familiar with the country we wanted to branch out to."When do you leave?" Wren asked."I'm not quite sure, I'm in no hurry....." I trailed off, Wren turned to Johan
I didn't bother much with the family history, focusing instead on the photos. Despite the fact that it had been 13 years, I knew I would recognize her the minute I saw her, her image has remained imprinted in my mind as clear as the day I met her. There hadn't been a day where I didn't think of her, there was no moment where she wasn't on my mind, there was no night she didn't grace my dreams with her enchanting presence, there was no second my heart didn't ache with longing for her, each and every day for the past 13 years, my little flame had been a constant presence in my mind, her hold on my heart so strong it didn't fade even a bit over the years, instead it grew stronger and stronger with each minute I didn't have her by my side.I was holding on as best as I could but I truly didn't know how much longer my wolf and I would last without her, especially my wolf whose consciousness was already so weak, we needed her back in our lives, in our arms, and each and every day wit
Kalen's POV~"We will be making our descent into the Murtala Muhammed international airport in approximately ten minutes Alpha, please fasten your seat belts and do not leave your seats until we are safely in the boarding zone."The voice of the pilot of my private jet reached me, I leaned back into my seat, keeping a calm facade despite almost shivering in anticipation.I shifted my gaze to the window, distracting myself with the calming scenery as we made our descent.The jet tilted slightly to the left and began a slow and steady turn. Down below, the ground looked like square plots on a huge map of some kind. Everything slowly came into view as we neared the ground, small cars heading down long highways of black ribbon came into view as well as various buildings of different sizes and shapes. A sudden bump indicated that the landing gear was released.Feeling my ears pop, I parted my lips slightly in an attempt to release the pressure. Trees and rooftops
"Well... what makes you think there'll be an after this? You think you'll be getting out of this? I'm the one who doesn't plan on letting you off...get the facts straight." I said in a cold, calm tone, the man shivered in fear at my tone."I.... I...I'm a manager at the prestigious Akunna corporation, you know Akunna corporation right? I can give you anything you want...is it money you need?... anything just name it...." He began pleading, I scoffed at his shameless use of the Akunna name."Money?.... I have that... infact... I have a lot of it.... your offer is really not interesting.... " I said slowly."You... didn't you hear I work for Akunna corporation, you know the president right, Ike Akunna? No one messes with him or his workers, if you value your life you'll let me go this instant and I will speak in your favor with him." He threatened again, this time, I threw my head back laughing, he was truly shameless, daring to mention my father's name after what he di
"You smell good, I see why he's so taken with you, you've always been quite an interesting one." Jason declared, giving me a look that said he knew something I didn't.I furrowed my brows, staring carefully at him, a sense of familiarity bubbled up within me as it had when I had met Aiden, Wren, Johan and Alpha... I frowned, but brushed it off, it was probably just my imagination or something, there was no way I wouldn't recall meeting men like this, between their god like looks, character, imposing aura's and intimidating presence, all in all they weren't the kind of people that could be easily forgotten."Shut up and do your job Jason." Alpha said glaring at the doctor, he instantly became serious and got to work while I sat still and let him poke and prod at my head, my mind however was calculating the instant change in Jason's attitude at Alpha's words, guys didn't usually react so well to being ordered, and someone as playful as Jason should be angered when told to sh
Miwa's POV~My eyes fluttered open and I lifted a hand to my face sleepily, rubbing my tired eyes."Oh how cute!" A voice cooed, so alarmingly close to my ears."HOLY FUCK!!!" I screamed in shock, tumbling off the bed and landing in an embarrassing heap on the carpeted floor.The mystery person burst into boisterous laughter even as my door was slammed open and Alpha and Wren rushed to my aid."What the hell happened here?!" Wren asked the mystery guy, while Alpha glared murderously at him."Nothing...she saw me and just freaked out..." He said innocently, I stood up fiercely, rubbing my sore bottom, Alpha and Wren exchanged a puzzled look before glancing at me questioningly."What the fuck do you mean by nothing... I woke up to a stranger all up in my face cooing at me, what was I supposed to do? Shout hallelujah?!" I yelled angrily, glaring at the mysterious blonde haired guy that looked suspiciously similar to Wren, except he was missing a good
"What I meant was... I have had enough of your goons breathing down my neck, I don't need a baby sitter, you already barred all the windows and you keep me locked in... is it necessary for him to be here?" I asked in annoyance, he gave me a blank look and nodded.I sighed in frustration knowing that was all the answer I would be getting.' it seems like I have to use my secret weapon.' I thought.I rose to my feet but quickly lifted a hand to my head as I swayed and the ground came rushing to my face, Alpha rushed to my side, catching me before I could fall."Let me go." I whispered weakly, staring dazedly up at him, his eyes widened in panic and he placed a hand on my head, I flinched away from his touch."It hurts, don't touch it." I said referring to my head injury, it hadn't completely healed up and still bled a little."I'll get a doctor." Alpha said, turning to Wren, I grabbed his hand, shaking my head weakly."I'm fine... I just haven'
Miwa's POV~"Stop glaring at me!" Wren yelled exasperatedly and I scoffed, my glare not moving from him, we had been like this for over an hour now and I had blatantly ignored all his pleas, I didn't plan on looking away anytime soon, I'd stare him to death!"Miwa... it's not like I want to be here either." He explained pitifully, I frowned."Then leave!" I snapped angrily. It had been two days since I attempted to escape which meant it has been four days since I was kidnapped. For the past two days, Wren was assigned to monitor me and damn he did his job well. He watched me like a hawk, I only had peace when I was in the bathroom and even then he'd come knock frequently to make sure I was still there, despite knowing all the windows had been barred, it wasn't like I could vanish or diffuse through the walls. He spent the whole day with me and at night Aiden guarded outside my door."It's not my call." He replied seriously, I sighed."Get me that Alpha
"Hmm, seems like you caught me, that was quite fast, I must be loosing my touch.... however I'd have to turn down your request, I'd rather stay up here." She replied coldly, my wolf whined within me at her hateful tone."Please come down Miwa." Wren said to her, she scoffed."You will have to come get me yourselves." She replied back, I growled."Stop being difficult." I said, she raised a brow at me."Difficult? Who, me? The same me who currently has a head injury inflicted by you? If you think this is me being difficult then you haven't seen difficult yet, I'm just getting started." She said with spite, I growled before moving back slightly and leaping into the air, landing on the branch she sat on, she stared at me with wide eyes."You... what exactly are you?" She asked me in a shocked tone, I shrugged, pulling her into my arms and jumping off the tree, landing perfectly on my feet, her already wide eyes widened further and it would have been funny if it
Kalen's POV~I glared furiously at Wren and he took a cautious step back, Aiden stared warily between the both of us.I struggled to reign in my fury as images of my bleeding mate kept flashing through my mind, I had hurt her, I had hurt her with my own hands, when Wren told me he had left his cellphone there, I instantly panicked, it wasn't that anyone she called would make a difference but I really didn't want to get her family involved because I knew that anyone who tried to take her away from me would get seriously hurt.She probably hates me now, not like she didn't before but now it would be worse, I was so angry I wanted to beat the stupidity out of Wren but I pushed down that urge, what happened was also my fault, infact I was more at fault as I had been the one to slam the door open with such force, when I saw her crumpled on the floor bleeding, all my anger vanished, my heart froze up within me in fear, I knew the extent of damage my Alpha strength could cau
"4879....hmm." I pondered aloud, trying the numbers out in different ways till finally the phone clicked, I grinned."Looks like my hacking classes will come in handy after all." I muttered, quickly executing my plans, there wasn't anything about my brother's phone I didn't know so it didn't take me long to hack into it, I didn't leave a message though, quickly erasing the evidence of my work and wiping the phone with a cloth, I carried it with me to the door just in time as Wren and Alpha barged in, the door slammed forcefully into me and I staggered back, dropping to the floor with a pained gasp, the phone dropping out my hands, both men glared at me and Wren picked it up looking through it suspiciously before turning to me in surprise."She didn't use it." He informed Alpha guiltily, I bit my lips, staring at them with hate filled eyes as my hand lifted up to my head, feeling the liquid that dripped from it, I didn't have to look to know I was bleeding, this was t
~Miwa's POV~My eyes fluttered open and I groaned stretching my limbs as I sat up on the bed, it was morning already, Mama Annie had come up last night and I told her what she needed to know, Wren had also come but the moment he began saying shit about me going downstairs, I shoved him out and slammed the door in his face, thankfully Alpha didn't show, I knew he was lurking around somewhere close though, the aura was unmistakable.I stood up, heading into the bathroom , I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth, it was still quite early but I had always been an early bird.I walked out, heading into the closet and picking out a pair of black skinny jeans, a black hoodie and black running shoes, I threw them on along with my underwear and headed out to see Wren in my room."You really have no boundaries do you? What if I came out naked?" I asked him, moving towards the sitting area and taking a seat before the table, Wren's eyes widened at my words and he gave me
My eyes moved to the window I had noticed earlier, the balcony doors were obviously locked and breaking them would be too noisy, everyone in the house would be immediately alerted, however the window was open and once I looked through it, I knew why.It wasn't particularly that high if I had the necessary equipments available but without them, jumping down four floors was seeking death, and if I didn't die I would definitely break something, which would then make escape impossible, I wasn't stupid enough to go through with that.'Hmmm...if only there was something long enough to reach down...they wouldn't be so nice to leave a rope lying around now would they?...I need a substitute' I thought, looking around the room, my mind flashed to the heap of new towels that stocked the bathroom shelf and a slow grin spread across my face."Seems the numerous towels will come in handy after all...." I muttered quietly, already formulating an escape plan in my head, I looked out
