New Orleans Bad Boys Chapter 19
“We’re ready to talk!! Ash— Ash please!” One of them cried as blood seeped out of their eyes like a gentle river. I chuckled dryly while I puffed heavy rounds of smoke. “Ash!!” I threw my finished cigarette away and then glanced at the time on my watch. Seven minutes past eight. After several hours these bastards had finally decided to talk.“I must give it to the two of you for holding out this long.” I commented. “Give us the antidote!” The other one screamed but I wriggled my right index finger. “Nah, you’ll give me my answers and you better pray that I’m satisfied unless neither of you are getting this antidote.” I replied and they panted heavily.“We’ll tell you everything!” The one on the right exclaimed exasperatedly. “Where are you people from?” I queried while I pulled out another cigarette. “White wood Pack!” “What?!” My cigarette fell from my lips as I arose abruptly. “White wood?” I trembled. “I thought that Pack had long disappeared.” “We’ve been living in the out

“Yes mum, I’m fine. Just wanted to go off the radar for some days.” Skye said on the phone as I stayed by her door side. Thanks to my heightened senses, I could hear how worried her mother sounded over the phone. Skye was no different either and it only made that guilt pang hard in my chest. “Talk to you some other time, goodnight.” She said before ending the call. She dropped her phone lazily on the bed and only then did she notice my presence. “Hey,” I mumbled and she inhaled deeply. “Hey,” she responded while I sat beside her on the bed. “I’m sorry—“ “You don’t need to apologize Autumn. I’m pretty sure you made yourself clear you wanted your space.” She cut me off abruptly. “That’s not what I meant,” I quickly replied. “I don’t want any space from you. You’re my friend, the only one I can trust. It’s just,” I inhaled deeply. “I wish you could understand things from my point of view.” She held my palm dearly with a tiny smile that didn’t live to see the next second. “Trust m

“Father,” I called as I arrived at the training grounds. The old man whose low cut black hair seemed to beam under the sun’s glorious rays turned to me with a stern look. “Sebastian.” He noted. “Training is over, you may disperse!” He ordered the men before him. “Yes, Alpha Frederick!” They chorused sharply and then dispersed while I joined him by the side. “How was your mission?” He sported a quizzical look. “We were interrupted by werewolf hunters. Only Jason and I were lucky to escape.” I answered and his disgust painted evidently all over his face. “Hunters?” “Yes father,” I gulped down my saliva whilst getting flashes of how monstrous they had been. “They weren’t just ordinary hunters. It was the Luxton brothers, Alston and Damon.” His left brow arched upwards. “Ash was there,” “Yes.”“And you let him kill my men?” My father growled, causing fear to sprout in me like a seedling. “He was very powerful, father. I could have died if I didn’t escape.”His growl protruded ag

Swansview hotels. I heaved a sigh as I alighted from the Mercedes alongside John. The chill air danced around me gently as I stood before the magnificent hotel welcoming me to its luxury. As I threaded into the building, a man dressed in a perfectly tailored suit approached me with a stern look.“Miss Autumn,” he called. “I’ll take you to the boss’s room.” He gestured. “Alone.” He added, glaring at John. “Mr. Leon specifically asked me to keep watch on her at all times.” John remarked. “And who does your boss answer to?” The man replied and John cleared his throat before taking a step backwards.“Please,” he gestured again and led me to the elevator. His room door was guarded by two men poised at opposite sides of the door. “You may enter.” He said and I inhaled deeply before opening the cream colored door. If I was expecting the normal small room then I was proven wrong. It was delightfully large and luxurious. Ranging from the bed, to the small couches surrounding the small table

“I’ll never be yours, that’s what she told me, Rico.” I mumbled while Rico bandaged the cuts on my face. “This long slashes shows how much she intends to keep to her word.” He commented but I was barely paying attention to any of his words. I touched my lips remembering how much mine had caressed hers. But I wasn’t satisfied. I wanted every piece of her and I hated it that she knew that. “You know, this is the first time a lady is rejecting me. I’ve always had it easy with them but Autumn? She’s different. Her defiance, her stubbornness vexes me yet I find myself getting enthralled by her presence day by day.” He handed me the mirror so I could see his finished work. The bandage was pretty obvious but I guess this is what I deserve for taunting a fierce werewolf.“The Ash I know wouldn’t allow any werewolf to harm him this way. What happened to you man? What’s so special about her?” I stared at him for a while wondering if I should spill the truth that she was my mate. But then ag

“We’ve arrived ma’am.” John announced as he drove the car to a gentle halt. I exhaled deeply, mentally recalling Ash’s warm lips grazing mine.“Is anything wrong?” His voice tousled my thoughts. “I’m good.” I replied before sauntering inside. “Miss Autumn!” Mrs. Anderson chirped with her graceful smile as I arrived at the living room.“Please, Mrs. Anderson, Autumn is just fine.” I responded. “Of course. Leon left for some meeting so he would be coming home late tonight. Should the maids prepare dinner or something for you?”I glanced at the time on my phone, it was twenty minutes past eleven. Besides, I had too much storming in my mind over some meal. “Nah I’m fine. Where’s Skye?”“She went out with a friend.” She answered and I donned a skeptical look. “You don’t have to worry. One of the guards accompanied her.” She said and I nodded before threading up the stairs. I locked my door after texting Skye. She was probably out with one of her men. I tossed my phone to the bed befor

“This is your room.” Ash said as he ushered me into a large room. It was the same one they had brought me after the incident with Sebastian. There were changes though, the bedsheets were a floral shade of red and white. The couch and stool at the left corner of the door side were rather than the black I remembered. The black marble floors were still as reflective as I remembered and the luxurious mahogany wardrobe rooted by the right side of the wall still remained. The room scent was that of jasmine and it almost brought a smile to my face.“I’ll assign three guards to be in charge of your protection. You’ll meet them later,” he said while he closed the door behind us. “Henceforth, you’re no longer allowed to leave this house except for school. And if you have any outing or whatsoever you have to attend, then you must report to me first. Is that clear?” I turned to him with a sharp frown, “are you stripping me of my freedom?” “I’m protecting you.” He quipped back. “No you’re locki

I hummed in pleasure as we got to the dining room welcomed by the aromas of different meals laced on the polished antique dining table. “What do we have here Freya?” I asked my chef as she did some adjustments to the arrangements alongside two of her staff. “This is, Grilled steak with roasted vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes,” she pointed to one of the meals while one of the staff pulled my chair for me to sit. Autumn on the other hand sat on the opposite side. “Pan-seared salmon with sautéed spinach and wild rice pilaf, Lobster risotto with garlic bread and mixed green salad, Grilled lamb chops with ratatouille and couscous salad, Baked salmon with dill sauce, roasted asparagus, and wild rice, Spaghetti carbonara with garlic bread and Caesar salad—“ “That’s enough,” I cut her off abruptly. “I would have died of hunger by the time you’re done with all this, I want the err…” I pointed to one of the meals. “What’s it called again?” “Grilled steak with roasted vegetables and ga

“I think this marriage frenzy thing is making you assume things,” I said, “I only brought Autumn with me so my bed won’t be left cold tonight.” She peered suspiciously at me for a while and then smiled. “How is Leon?” “Fine.” “And work?” “Fine too.” She hummed while I downed my champagne hurriedly. “Looks like so much has been happening over there. So much you’re refusing to talk about.” I exhaled deeply.“Ash,” “Today is a joyous occasion. Your day. And I don’t want to ruin it by talking about the affairs of New Orleans.” She shrugged. “I think I’ve already had my fill of today. Let’s deal with you.” “Now you’re sounding like a therapist.” “I am your therapist,” we both chuckled for a brief moment and then I stared into the sky, making shapes with the stars. “It's hellish,” I started in oblivion, “after the old man died, handling the gang and the daily hurdles that came with it was killing more than I imagined,” I sighed. “I’m afraid my father may have picked the wrong per

A tiny smile graced my lips as I admired my reflection on the full length mirror. I was donning a simple suit complimented with a bow tie. I ran my hand through my short hair so it fell in a wavy fashion. I usually had no interest in attending wedding ceremonies but this one in particular was special. The only thing I hated was the bandage tape on my face. My phone rang in my pocket and my smile faded noting the caller ID. “Ariel,” I answered. “Were you never going to return my calls? I sent you texts but apparently you’ve been doing a very fine job ignoring them. I visited but your guards wouldn’t even let me enter. I’m your girlfriend for goodness sake! What did I do wrong Ash?! What—“ her voice trailed off and I knew it was tears that were certainly going to follow. “You know better that I’ve been busy. A lot has happened over the past few weeks, I could have lost my life or been in jail—“ “I know! I know, but couldn’t you have said something? Ash I don’t know why but these da

“That fool!” I blurted as I hit the punching bag hard. I didn’t want to think about it much but the morning’s incident kept replaying in my head. Why does Ash have to get the good things? If anything, he wasn’t worthy of Autumn! My breaths escaped in heavy sessions as I rained the bag with several blows till it came off from the ceiling mount. I panted, staring at the bag on the floor. I used the white towel wrapped around my neck to clean my sweats before deciding to hang the bag again. The gym door opened making way for a dark haired slim and curvy lady to saunter in. Skye. Her hair was a mess and she was in her nightgown, enough for me to conclude she just woke. “Good morning!” I teased while she approached me in a lazy fashion. I glanced at the wall clock reading ten minutes past two in the afternoon. “Ah shit,” she sighed while she sat on the weight bench a few meters beside me. “I had a long night yesterday.” “I can tell,” I picked the punching bag to hang it. “Boyfriend?”
