Speaking of which…

"I am yet to receive my 25% as stated in our contract, I told you I needed the payment up front," she reminded him.

"I can have it given to you immediately, as gold or dollars, finely packaged in a box," he stated.

She made a tsking sound with her teeth as she shook her head slowly "Ah ah, Mister fast guy, I do not trust you. What would stop you from overpowering me and collecting it back once my time here was up?"

Wayne raised an eyebrow with a "What do you want me to do then?" silent question.

"I want the money to be taken to my world and paid into my personal account, then bank statements printed appropriately and brought to me as evidence," she said smiling sheepishly.

Wayne shrugged nonchalantly "Consider it done. How do you want me to go about it?"

Candice tapped her chin for a few seconds thinking, then she clapped her hands together "Yes! I know what to do. Take it to my friend Bernice, she is my next of kin. She can access my account; she will deposit the mo

    Nashville, Tennessee.7:40 p.m.Bernice rinsed off the last shampoo from her hair before turning off the shower, stepping out from outside the bathtub, she reached for her white towel and used it to wrap around her wet body.Whoof, that was one hot, sweet shower to wash off the day's stress from her body. She took a small white face towel from the metal hanger, dabbing her face frantically, and she hummed a 'Close to You' by Carpenters. Then getting lost in the rhythm of the song, she burst out singing as she grabbed her shampoo tube and made a microphone imitation out of it. Swaying her hips and whipping her wet hair back and forth, she danced out of the bathroom."Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?just like me, they long to be close to youWhy do stars fall down from the sky every time you walk by?Just like me, they long to be close to you…."Bernice stopped in her tracks as she noticed a figure, dressed in black, sitting in the dark, on a chair in her living ro

    "Do you think she is home?" one voice spoke from outside."I saw her bathroom light on from across the street, I could see her shower," another said."Then why is she not answering the door?" a third voice grumbled."Seems she might have gone to bed, whatever let's break in," the first voice suggested.When she heard that, she let out a silent gasp and looked at Rojan who immediately swung into action. Closing the suitcase, he secured the locks. With the suitcase in one hand, he pulled her into her bedroom. He quickly shoved the suitcase under her bed, then he took out a boning knife from his waistband.He whispered to her "Get under the bed and stay there, no matter what you hear, do not come out."She was bothered about what was going on, there were three men outside her door, currently fiddling with her lock, trying to gain entry into her house. They sounded like they wanted trouble, now this stranger was pulling out a knife from his pocket to confront them. It was three against on

    What an unexpected event.Rojan thought to himself as he punched some codes into the security gadget at the gate of the house. He really did not like it when things did not go as planned. He was just supposed to meet Bernice, give her the money, get the statement of account, and return back home. As simple as ABC.Now things had gotten complicated.The presence of the Satyrs at her apartment had just one indication. Waylon Wyatt was now after her too, since he had failed at taking Candice through the siren. It seemed he had not expected any resistance if he had sent satyrs to do the job, it was supposed to be an easy kidnapping. Too bad for them that he had to be present at the time.Satyrs were a hybrid creature of both goat and man in their true form. They were known for their hedonic and raucous sexual nature, and they usually indulged human women using cheap magic spells to cloak their goatish features, but their smell usually gave them away. As a werewolf with heightened senses,

    He sifted a hand through his hair."I did not want to drag you into this chaos, I was just supposed to deliver the money to you, get the statement, and return back, what could I have done when you were being attacked? In my world, you either disarm a threat or you would be preyed upon.""Who is after me? What have I done wrong?" she queried."It is not you that they want, you are probably supposed to be collateral damage. Like a bait to draw out Candice," he tried to explain."Who are they? What do they want from Candice? Is she being kept somewhere? Are you sure she is safe? What the hell is going on?" she unleashed a multitude of questions."Believe me when I say she is safe. She told me to tell you this 'Don't forget to brush your teeth'" he relayed the words to her.Her eyes welled with tears at those words and she put her face in her hands and wept. Her shoulders shook, her chest heaved as deep sorrow poured out in her tears. It seemed that she had been barely holding herself bac

    Ding.The timer went off on the coffee machine to indicate the end of the brewing cycle. Bernice grabbed her brewed coffee and added some cubes of sugar. She would have loved some cream to go with it, but she couldn't find any in this house.Taking a sip of the black liquid, she massaged the space in between her eyebrows. It was 6:00 a.m. in the morning and she had not been able to get a wink of sleep all through last night.After she was done eating her chocolate crunch and soda last night, she went upstairs to the bedroom on the left door. Just as Rojan had said, a pair of platinum-colored pajamas was present on the bed waiting for her. She had quickly discarded his leather jacket and her towel, then dawned the pair of night clothes. Though bigger than her size, the material was so soft and silky that she immediately climbed into the bed and covered herself with the sheets, ready to sleep.Her eyes had remained open, gazing at the ceiling, bereft of sleep. She had a long day at work

    "We need to talk," he stated as he joined her in the living room."Sure, you can start talking," she waved him on."Last night I did not have the liberty of explaining things to you in detail, things happened unprecedented. However, I intend to clarify things on a more elaborate scale at this moment. I come from a different plane called Woede. It is an alternate universe, just like your world, but it is home to a different race and species called the werewolves," He paused gauging her reaction.If he was expecting her to buy this crazy story, then he was greatly mistaken. She had expected some kind of backstory, but this was beyond her imagination.Alternate universe? Werewolf specie? Come on mister, is that all you've got?"In the werewolf pack, there is hierarchy and class. From the top to the bottom, from the highest to the lowest. Everyone has duties associated with the ranking system. Also, my plane operates on a monarchy government, where there is a king who rules and governs th

    Dragonfly Fortress."Now we will begin" the female sorceress announced to her audience.It was a small congregation of three people.Present was Waylon, a young water nymph clothed in white apparel, gagged and tied with a rope, the third person was Smeden who held the rope, propelling the female by the collar."The price you demand of me is too steep Zipporah, another of my most loved pets. It is such a hard feat replacing them" he grumbled."When you came to me a few years ago, you said you were willing to do anything to become king" her sultry voice chimed."True, I am still of that opinion. But then, finding one I genuinely find pleasure in is increasingly tedious" he told her."You can take her back if your debauchery places higher than your goals" she offered.Waylon gave her a sullen look, then waved her on.Zipporah gave a slight nod and continued her proceedings of pouring different potions into a small enclosed pool of water, built into the ground like a jacuzzi tub.

    There were a few seconds of hesitation before he uncovered himself from behind a wall.His clothes were ragged, torn in so many places and he was missing a left ear. Blood had dried around his face, his body spotted cuts and bruises. He looked like he had taken a severe beating. Afraid of coming forward, he lingered at the wall."What is this I see Drac. Why have you returned alone and where is the human girl?" he demanded.He tried to talk but could not, then swallowed thickly before saying "My lord, an unexpected event occurred. The Satyrs I hired to do the job were ambushed by Rojan, he murdered them all and fled with the girl. I was able to track his location with my men, but he is a well-seasoned warrior, he killed the six men with me and only I was able to escape with my life.""So, you mean to say after six of my men died, you still were not able to capture the girl?" Waylon scuffed with disappointment."I was-" Drac tried to say but within a blink of an eye, Waylon was in front

    "I am busy, what is it?" Wayne drawled, going to take a sit in the corner of the room."I have been trying to talk to you for over a week now, but you keep rebuffing me with the same response "I am busy, let's talk later," she mimicked.He let out an exasperated sigh "Okay, I do not have a lot of time right now. I am here, you may speak."You may speak.How annoying, like she needed his permission to speak or express herself. She was not here to beg his permission; she was here to cut a deal. A smooth negotiation at best, and a rough haggle at worst."I wanted to speak to you about something," she began.When he saw her pause, he waved her on impatiently."You actually owe me a wish and I am here to collect on it," she stated.She saw his eyes narrow in a suspicious appraisal, then he linked his fingers on his lap and cocked his head to the side "Go on."Unsure of what his body gesture signified, she went on "I want you to allow Everette to go into fabrics and designs, to go to fashio

    Two days later.5:30 pm.The Great Arena, Central City.Plane Woede.Candice peeped through the crack of the door.She had opened it just a tiny fraction, so she could see into the vast corridor. This place was the size of a standard Olympic stadium. It could seat a total of a hundred thousand people.She was the item for the great gathering, yet she was confined to a tiny change room, in the enclave of the small outpost that marked the stadium's back office. A small provision of rooms was where all the operations were carried out backstage, before showing it to the public.Where was Wayne?She gritted her teeth in anxiety as she felt the pressure settle in. It was nerve-wracking, pulse palpitating, and teeth clattering.Her stomach was knotted tight while her heart was racing. She was about to make a big entrance into the world of the werewolves and it was taking a toll on her self-confidence.She wondered why Wayne had been aloft, all through the number of days that led to this very

    Candice felt awash with satisfaction.It felt good to put smiles on the face of someone.She wished she could gift her more, but the Head of staff would not let it slide. He was in charge of the domestic funds and ran the house on a strict budget, only making adjustments if and when directly instructed by his Lord Alpha. She would definitely gift Everette, Jason, Jordan, and Sally a little token before she said goodbye to them forever."What are you intently thinking about?" Bernice asked."Nothing interesting," Candice murmured as she walked over to join her on the couch. She had donned a simple green dress, dotted with white polka dots."You have been frequently spacing out these days, tell me what's on your mind?""I-I just wish that my life wasn't so complicated. Like this was some sort of dream, I was not in a parallel universe. I would just wake up and everything would be back to normal," her voice was strained, with all the pent-up emotions raging within her."Why would you wan

    "I heard a voice," Candice said as she stared at herself in the mirror."You did?" Bernice asked from her position on a couch."What kind of voice?" Everette mused as she put some pins around the dress Candice was wearing.They were having a casual conversation as Candice tried on different dresses. Early that morning, Everette had arrived at her bedroom with over a dozen dresses from the seamstress.Two weeks had already passed by since Bernice and Rojan had returned from the earth plane.The head of staff, at the house had casually informed her that a date for a banquet had been scheduled, and on that day, she would be introduced to society.Yes, you heard that right.She had been informed, notified, and made aware without any consultation from her, that her very own debut to society had been set up.The only prior information she had gotten was when Wayne had taken her to the red chamber in the city center, where she had eavesdropped on their conversation. He had not bothered to di

    Zipporah smirked to herself as she descended the stone steps.The assembly had come to a close and they were all free to go. As she walked down the steps that wound around the walls and led to the lower part of the fortress, to the base level of the dungeons. Her lips curved into a wry smile.For a moment there, she thought she had been caught.Thanks to her quick response, she had shifted the blame to the nymphs. Removing herself from close scrutiny. It would have been a catastrophe if he found out she was the supposed thief.A blow to her ego.Howls echoed through this level from different creatures she had captured with the help of Waylon's men and locked up in these dungeons, to use their blood for her dark magic."Silence!" she snapped at them, her voice dripping with malice.The cries immediately ceased.She began to walk from one cell to another, the creatures scurried into the depth of the cell when they saw her glower at them. One cell held a griffin, another held a chimera, a

    Sited upon his stone throne was Waylon.Standing before him were his subjects; Zipporah, Drac, and Smeden."You assured me," Waylon murmured as his eyes moved from one body frame to another.He was dressed in royal blue apparel with a red cape attached at the shoulders. Upon his head sat a golden crown embellished with rubies, emerald green and blue sapphire stones. In his hand was a long staff made of bronze with glyph carvings, each knuckle of his finger was adorned with gold rings. He was lounging in his seat with an air of royalty while addressing the trio gathered before his mini-assembly."The sorceress was the one who recommended her," Drac said casting a side glance at Zipporah.Waylon's gaze shifted to Zipporah "Yes, it was you who brought her. You assured me of her outstanding abilities and skill set."Zipporah shrugged "She was indeed a clever, slippery, and resourceful hireling. It's a shame she could not complete her mission.""But Lamias are said to be formidable and fea

    "My heart?" he let out a bitter laugh "Far from it, I would not let myself get carried away. I have an end goal; nothing can thwart my plans.""As your beta, I would agree with you to do what's best for your plane and pack. As a friend, I would tell you not to make a mistake you may regret later on," Rojan advised."Regret? What's there to regret about?" he harrumphed."You're clearly falling for her, why do you fight it?" Rojan pointed out."I am not," he countered, then scoffed "What is there to fall for? She acts with no dignity whatsoever. Is it dancing half-naked with a total stranger and allowing him the pleasure of kissing her or striking my face with her fist?""Wait, what?" Rojan did a double take, "She slapped you?"Wayne paused, that had come out involuntarily.Rojan threw his head back and laughed, his booming laughter bouncing off the walls.Wayne put a hand to his temple, why had he let that slip off his tongue? It only showed that he was still clearly pissed at the kiss

    Busted!"Rojan you're back," Wayne acknowledged.Rojan was standing a few meters away from him, carrying Bernice on his back. The once vibrant young lady looked passed out and was sleeping soundly on his shoulders."Yes, I am," Rojan replied casting him a mug stare."I was not expecting you guys so soon," he said, feeling a little embarrassed. This was the second time in one evening that Rojan had caught him in compromising positions. Luckily for him, he had donned a robe despite his haste to come to her. What logical explanation could he give if he was caught naked in front of Candice's door? It would have been worse if Bernice was awake, gratefully she was fast asleep."I actually came to talk to her, but changed my mind," he explained as his left ear twitched.Rojan looked at him, his eyes roaming over his physique. Then he nodded, his eyes disbelieving "Okay, if you say so.""What happened, why are you back so soon?" He inquired."This one is wild, immediately we got to a pub. She

    Wayne reclined on his side on the bed in his room.He was knackered to a great extent and wanted to fall asleep after the heavy dinner. However, he could not seem to catch a wink of sleep.The past few days had been grueling on his part. The search for her, the pursuit after her captor, the Jubokko tree assault, the battle with the Lamia shapeshifter, the visit to the council of elders, the excruciatingly painful journey into the Hade's lair, the altercation at the mating festival on the misty plane. Lastly and the best part of it all, the return of his beta and second in command, his most trusted associate, his one and only best friend.He should feel at peace that he had overcome all obstacles, retrieved his mate from her captor unharmed. Also, he accomplished the near impossible feat of accessing the tree of life, now the hinterlands would be healed and his plane would be whole again.He should be feeling a sense of satisfaction, yet something gnawed at his conscience.
