I received the call immediately, “Hello, Caleb?”But an extremely worried voice of Caleb came from the other side of the phone, “Stefan? Brother? There is an emergency…!”………….Riven’s POV:“What happened, Riven? Have you seen a ghost?” Kevin asked with a chuckle.“Her touch…. It felt… familiar..!” I replied in barely a whisper.I was completely stunned. I didn’t know how to react. How can it feel so familiar?“What?” Kevin nearly shouted in astonishment.Honestly, I expected such a reaction from him.“Whose touch felt familiar?” He added in a concerned voice.“Henna Kim! When I grabbed her hand to remove my tie from her hand, I felt like I had touched her before. It was quite familiar. Too familiar for a person I have only met twice in my entire life”, I replied in a confused tone.“Well, Riven, she has touched you before” Kevin replied in a casual tone.“When?” I asked in shock.“Don’t you remember? This year, on Erica’s birthday, we went to this club. She grabbed your tie that day
Giselle’s POV:“Mother had a heart attack!” Caleb replied in an almost crying voice.“WHAT???!!” Stefan and I shouted in unison.I got up from bed immediately and sat on the bed in an upright position. All the exhaustion and tiredness were long gone but I was shivering with fear.“Yes, we are taking her to the hospital” Caleb informed worriedly from the other side.“Which hospital?” I asked almost immediately.“Dark Sapphire hospital, of course”, Stefan added nonchalantly.“Yes, we are taking her to the Dark Sapphire hospital, which is two miles away from our pack house. Please be there soon” Caleb replied, his voice shaking too.I wanted to ask him so many questions, like, how can she get a heart attack all of a sudden? If it was a minor heart attack or a major one?She seemed to be absolutely fine when we left. If something happened between her and Alpha Riley to cause such a reaction?But I controlled myself. Caleb was our younger brother and he gets worried soon. I know he won’t b
Riven’s POV:“What the hell are you doing here? How’s Vera?” I asked in a muddled tone.“What happened to mom?” Caleb asked me with confused expressions.“What is wrong with Vera? What are you saying, Riven? Caleb just came here to deliver the file on father’s order”, Kevin replied while looking at me, baffled.“Yeah”, Caleb nodded in agreement.“Didn’t you call Stefan and tell him that Vera had a heart attack, and you and father are taking her to the Dark Sapphire hospital?” I asked in an investigative tone.“Nope, I didn’t do anything like that. Father instructed me to give this file to Kevin. Hence, I came here. Last time, I had a conversation with Stefan, when we were having breakfast at our home. Giselle has only called me once since you three went to the lake house. That’s it! I don’t know anything after that!” Caleb spoke in a muddled tone.Only by looking at his innocent expression, I could tell he was not lying and literally had no idea about this.“If you are here and you di
Riven’s POV:“No, this project is father’s dream. Only you can tackle this deal. Amongst all of us, father only trusts you with this project. I will go and protect our mate and our brother. I have a strong feeling that something terribly wrong is going to happen and it includes our very old enemies” was my serious reply, which widened their eyes.“WHAT?” Kevin asked in astonishment.“WHO?” Caleb added with similar expressions.“My dear brothers, I will tell you everything once the time is right. Right now, I don’t have the luxury of time”, I replied in a worried tone.“Okay, but before going there. Just meet Mr. Kim and inform him that you won’t be able to attend this meeting due to an emergency. If you just go like this, they will find it rude. Everyone knows about the fight between Erica and Henna in the club”, Kevin said in a serious tone.From the corner of my eyes, I saw Caleb’s eye roll and I knew it was for Erica. I don’t know why he hates Erica so much.“Alright. I will do tha
Riven’s POV:“What? What are you saying? Who’s main target? Who is attacking us?” Kevin asked in a curious tone.“FOXES!” I shouted from the top of my lungs.“Foxes? You mean those bloody clever creatures?”, Kevin’s eyes widened in shock.I am confirmed now that he has forgotten his brain at the lake house. He is acting so stupid!“Yes, they are back!” I gritted my teeth in reply.“Are you out of your senses? How do you know that?” Kevin asked in a demanding tone.“Are you blind, Kevin? At first, they called us here for a meeting with Mr. Kim. Everyone knew how badly our father needs that land and we could do anything to grab this deal! They used our weakness to bring us here so that only Stefan and Giselle will be left at the lake house” I said in a serious tone and continued,“Even though the lake house is not our main pack house, it is guarded completely by our guards, so they can’t fight with them over there. Hence, someone pretended to be Caleb and called Stefan from Caleb’s phon
Riven’s POV:“We already know that, Dad”, Caleb replied in a calm tone.As a response to Caleb’s calm reply, came a loud shout from the other side.“HOW?”“That imposter has escaped, and Riven has already solved the theory for us. Someone also called Stefan. It is a whole mess”, Caleb replied in a frustrated voice.“What? Who called Stefan?” Dad asked in an agitated tone.“I will explain everything to you after I come home. Increase the security at our pack house. Riven and Kevin are going for their rescue”, Caleb informed him.I nodded when he looked at me, showing him that he was doing the right thing, and he had a deep sigh of relief.“Okay, come home soon” Dad replied plainly.Caleb disconnected the call and turned towards us before saying, “Please take care of you two and Stefan and Giselle as well. I am leaving for the pack house”“Okay, you, too, take care of everyone there, little one”, I patted his head.While I was talking with Caleb, my eyes fell on Kevin, who was busy with
Stefan's POV:“Giselle, baby, that rascal is driving that damn truck like a bloody sports car at the moment!” I said, looking at the truck from the rear-view mirror.“Then what are you waiting for? Increase the damn speed!” Giselle nearly shouted and I did as she asked.The truck followed us like a bloody tail!“Increase the speed more!” Giselle commanded.“Baby, we are in the mountain area. We have already crossed the speed limit. The twists and turns are crazy here. If I increase the speed more, we are going to have an accident with or without the involvement of that red beast behind us!” I replied in an agitated tone.“Fine, then I will call Kevin. He will call the police for us and inform them about our situation”, Giselle said while removing her cell phone.Thankfully, there was no rush on the road today, and we lost the sight of truck due to a blind U-turn.Giselle also stopped dialing Kevin’s number when the truck was nowhere to be found.“Stef, I think I was overthinking, I th
Stefan's POV:The love, pain, need, everything was there in her eyes. She should have looked at me like this sooner. But it’s okay, at least I got to see it before dying.“I love you, Giselle” was the last thing I said before I took action on my plan.I took my car towards the service road. I kept my hands in front of Giselle’s upper body and pushed my leg on the urgent break with all the force I could muster, to avoid her bumping in front.The moment my car stopped, I saw those two trucks coming from my left side and that one truck coming from my right.“Get out of the car!” I commanded and Giselle did as I asked.She got out of the car. We were standing at the deadly center and three trucks were about to crush us.I knew I was an Alpha and I could stop them with my bare hands, but I could only stop one truck at a time. They were all coming towards us with the speed of light. I did not have much time to stop all of them.Hence, I decided to save the most precious person of my life by
