Outside the storage unit, Andrew finally looked at his phone. There were a bazillion missed calls.Looking at the time he scoffed, it was just 11 am in the morning and everyone was acting like he'd fallen off the face of the earth.As far as he was concerned, the only person that deserved an apology was Emily, for being unable to check up on her. Especially after the night she had. Despite the little jabs she'd thrown at him, he noticed from the slight quake in her voice that her night hadn't gone so well. He was about to look through his notifications when he looked at the date.His mouth fell open. He'd been out for more than 24 hours! Now he understood why his wolf was so antsy. He could feel it itching for a run. New York was already so confining and his wolf being stuck in a bunker with little space and even smaller air while its host seemed to be on the verge of death was enough to send it into overdrive. But one couldn't relive 7 years of his life in one night, could he? Still
Chapter 76Emily spent the rest of her day resting in her apartment and looking through the records the team shared. So far there wasn't any notable pattern and it seemed like every time the fight club disappeared, it popped back up again within weeks in a whole new environment and a brand new look. Groaning, Emily rubbed her temples. She'd been reconfirming all the details and testimonies they had about the club so far. She'd even listed them out; One. The location of the club itself was well known by most supernaturals. It was a hotspot in the black market that couldn't be shut down. Different Agencies had tried and failed woefully.Two. The guests that attended and bet during the fights were high-profile men and women of the society and their identities were protected at all costs. Three. The duty of staff members was swapped regularly and most times the staff members had no idea what department they'd be shipped to hourly.Four. The club itself was heavily guarded and doused i
The worst thing that could happen was Andrew not replying to any of her texts. It had been several hours since she'd sent those texts and she'd gotten no reply. Emily's heart had skipped a thousand beats as she waited for a reply that didn't come.It proved to be the perfect distraction because she'd abandoned the work she was supposed to be doing and was thinking about her risky text message. It made her feel 15 again and she disliked the tension surrounding it.Emily fidgeted around her living room, with different emotions running through her mind.She'd blamed herself and considered deleting them, but they'd already been delivered. She then began creating conspiracy theories and weird scenarios.Like;Maybe the texts were too forward?Did she sound desperate?Was he mugged?He'd probably forgotten his phone.Or he didn't simply fancy her.Or had he been attacked by those wolves and was currently lying dead in some dumpster?The thought of him being beaten to death because of her ma
The moment Emily set her eyes on the female werewolf in question. Her heart jumped. She didn't understand why nobody else seemed uncomfortable with the menace and hate oozing out of her.She could see it in her eyes that her wolf was just stringing them along and intended to cause as much trouble as possible the moment it got a chance. Though feral, the female wolf in the interrogation room was in sync with her wolf. Both wolf and woman were in control of mind and body and promised wrath.Emily glanced around and then locked eyes with the only other wolf in the room."Are you feeling what I'm feeling?" She mouthed.He swallowed and shrugged."I tried warning them, but I'm just an intern." He mouthed.Emily frowned. At once she discarded all the plans she'd carefully crafted. All traces of sympathy was wiped off her face. She sneered instead. If the Wolf within was playing games, she'd show her that two can always play.Oh, Elrold was going to be mad at her when she was done with her in
"Ugh…" Emily groaned, "Not you interrupting my call again. She said as Jacqueline sashayed into the room where she was held with a stern expression."No calls!" Jacqueline exclaimed, prying the phone out of Emily's hands and folding her arms.Emily sighed, then fell onto the not-so-comfy bed."I know what you're going to say, Jacqueline." She said picking up a fluffy pillow and using it to cover her face."What happened in there? You want to get yourself killed, blah blah blah." Emily said into the pillow, her voice muffled by the pillow.Jacqueline snatched the pillow from her and flung it across the room.Emily moaned, in the past hours she'd received hell from everyone she'd encountered.When she was dragged out of the room, all she could think about was the fact that Terry needed to be moved to a safe location that was protected by a strong sorcerer. They had minutes, if not seconds before the sorcerer came back angry."Get her out of here," she shouted, as strong arms carried her
Since Andrew left Brighton, Caleb's life had become easier. Pack members were so afraid by the thought that Andrew wouldn't return that they didn't seem to mind when he did or said something crazy or stupid. He'd been walking around the Pack like he owned the place. The old Alpha was also too busy with the planned attacks on the witch coven which were already underway. Laura and Larry didn't have the time either. While Larry was sulking, Laura was actively doing her duty as pack warrior.Brighton had already sent in troops and threw a couple of bombs on the witch territories. The witches were so shocked by the sudden attack and hadn't even come up with a counterattack.Brighton planned to repeatedly attack them, giving the coven no chance to retaliate. The attack also affected the Pack members. They were terrified that when the Coven finally got themselves together it would be awful for Brighton. They also thought that it was wrong timing because Andrew their savior was not around to
Emily looked at her outfit for the umpteenth time wondering if she had done too much. It was supposed to be a simple date at one of her favorite restaurants in New York and yet she'd felt like she'd gone overboard with her hair and makeup. Well, she had nothing better to do all day but try to perfect her look. She'd been through different outfits before she'd finally chosen the one she put on. Her hair had been straightened, curled, packed, and repacked a dozen times already. She sneered at her reflection, her nerves were all over the place since news from the dispatched teams revealed that 3 of the suspected locations were empty early that morning. She'd asked herself if it meant that they'd already escaped or that they were in the next location.She'd spent the whole day fretting around her apartment, wondering if she'd picked the right outfit as she tried to distract herself from the main problem. Which was finding those children. She also worried about her mother. Despite the h
If Emily was being perfectly honest with herself, she hadn't been expecting her night to go as wonderfully as it did.When they came out of her apartment, she and Andrew walked a few blocks arm in arm before Andrew spotted some silly weird-shaped glasses and bought a pair for each of them. Then they moved from food cart to food cart, trying to sell their tourist dreams and faking their accents to impress food vendors.Each vendor got a different story and city depending on the vendor's countenance, but they mostly pretended to be a couple on their honeymoon that had heard of how great New York was and had come to experience it. Emily laughed so hard that she almost choked on her food. At some point, she couldn't keep up with the fake accents anymore. Even when a random person on the streets called their bluff and told them that they belonged in hell for lying, Emily didn't feel guilty as she normally would. That night she'd broken a thousand rules that she normally wouldn't dare to
