"Well, everyone has gone to the hospital, I guess, because it was a fatal accident, and I'm not sure he's going to survive it." Candra propped her lips as a mischievous smile plastered her face.Rodriguez found a reason to smile after all, though he wasn't happy that Candra was going to join him in the benefits.He was certain she was already planning things according to her toast, 'our,' but he could definitely do anything to push her away from his side."That's great... we will have to move on to the next step," Rodriguez suggested, and Candra nodded her head.She was in for anything as long as Horace and Lenora were involved, and she would definitely force herself in.~Pacing around the room, Ophelia couldn't believe her ears... everything she worked for had just gone down the drain.Her anxiety was taking over. Her head was going berserk."Mum, calm down! Everything is going to be fine." Rodriguez said to Ophelia as Marcel found himself a spot to sit.Ophelia stood by the window
"I used Candra to get to him this ti..." Marcel interrupted him."Candra?" Marcel asked, a surprised look plastering his face."Yes, Candra. She came to me saying she would do anything to bring him down because of what he did to her, so that was her first task, and she did incredibly well," Rodriguez kind of boasted about it, making Ophelia seem interested in this backup plan he was talking about.Marcel knew somewhere deep down in him that Candra was not going to be faithful to him in any way, but he had no idea she would act so fast.The least he expected was that she was going to work hand in hand with Rodriguez."So she set him up, and he was involved in a fatal accident." Rodriguez nodded his head."That means we still have a chance," Ophelia said as she carefully sat on a chair.Marcel directed his attention to the mother and son... he would finish with them and immediately go to Candra.He could imagine that she thought of double-crossing him."What do you have in mind?" Marcel
NORA"Let me down, please," she pleaded, but I felt so sorry for her because I don't tend to forgive people easily.Especially when they tried to harm me first."Talk to me, bitch!" I was already fuming in anger.How dare she try to play games with me?"If you don't, I'm going to slit your throat open. Huh? You don't want that to happen, right? That way, your precious Gavner won't be able to hear you speak ever again." I threatened.I watched as her chest rose and fell as she began to plead, "Okay, okay, I'm going to tell you everything... Please let me do it." She continued pleading.I felt so soft today, unlike when someone steps on my feet... I don't tend to let them go."Today's your lucky day... if you had met me tomorrow or yesterday... I would have killed you and put you to death, and no one would know about your whereabouts. Nobody cares about you," I intoned, my voice above a whisper but menacing as I released my hold from her neck as she fell to the floor.I took a deep brea
NORAMy eyes widened when I heard Hernandez say that to me. I thought I cleared off his memories of that particular time, but how did he remember?"What!" I gasped. "What do you mean?" I tried to pretend like I had no idea what he was trying to say to me.He shook his head. "You tried to erase my memories, but they can't be erased because I'm partly a witch."What!!I pinched myself, making me gasp slightly. I needed to just make sure I wasn't dreaming and this was actually reality.Hernandez wasn't my problem... he didn't look like he was the kind to go around spilling my secret."Please follow me," I said, almost glaring at him.Yes, my lady," he agreed as we began to walk away.Staring at Gavner before I finally walked away, 'I'll be back shortly,' I said to myself, though I had no idea if he could hear my thoughts.Walking away, I wondered why Hernandez had the guts to talk about something like that when everyone was there.But thinking about it, if Hernandez is partly a witch, ju
THIRD-PERSON POINT OF VIEW"How dare you do that!" Marcel yelled as Candra whimpered, trying to release herself from the chair he tied her up on.Marcel paced around the room, anger welling up in his heart. For the past few weeks, he tried his best to act nice to Candra, only to find out she was working behind him. He wasn't that surprised because he knew that she was capable of doing that.But he wouldn't have been so furious if it happened to be someone other than Rodriguez."You forced me into working for you! I didn't want to, I mean, I never wanted to, but somehow I found myself doing it. That's crazy!" Candra spat, not minding the situation.Marcel stopped walking as he stared at her, wondering what kind of woman she was. Even though she had no idea that he was plotting with Rodriguez, she still had no right to make a deal with someone else."Are you crazy? Now you get to do tasks for him? Huh?" Marcel asked furiously.Candra gazed at him, wondering how he got to know that she h
LILITHIt has been almost two weeks since I heard from Matteo. Nora has been busy lately with Gavner and taking care of Horace.Unfortunately, he hasn't regained consciousness yet. I feel lonely because there's nothing here for me... I feel like I'm trapped here, though I'm here on my own accord.Lastly, memories of my parents' deaths have been flashing right in my eyes, and it's made me realize I have a responsibility to take care of. I must make sure that those responsible for their unfortunate deaths pay for their crimes, and I don't care if I have to kill to make that happen.Thinking about Matteo being my mate while he still doesn't want me makes me sick to my stomach. I just sit in this room all day, hoping and praying that he rejects me rather than making me feel like he is going to change his mind when he isn't going to do that.The wind blew as the trees bent over in the direction of the wind, pushing the windows open as it landed on my skin, sending shivers down my spine.Th
LILITHThe moment she let out those words from her mouth, I felt a sudden surge in me, urging me to let her know her place.How dare she utter anything that had to do with my parents?Mourning my parents?What else was she planning?To have me killed?I could feel the scorching heat in my eyes as it hurt me so badly. I knew what was coming, but I didn't want to do anything to her now. "I have no idea why you came to me, but I want to let you know that the moment you try to lay your hand on Nora... I won't take it easy with you, and I mean it.""And why should I be scared of you? I will be ahead of you in every single thing, and you won't be able to do a shit about it."When I found out from some gossiping witches that Ophelia was once a court maiden in this pack, I knew things wouldn't end well here. I was so bothered as if there was something special here.Then I heard she gave birth to a son, and the Alpha pronounced her dead, but she bore a second son for him.Wolves can be so craz
THIRD PERSON POVRodriguez walked into the meeting room along with Ophelia as they stared at everyone present at the meeting hall.After much contemplation from his mother on taking over the throne since Horace was still unconscious, Rodriguez was glad that Matteo was present. It would be great if Matteo explained to Horace how this event took place.His eyes darted over to the opposite direction of the room, where his gaze fell on Gavner. Weariness washed down his guts, but he recomposed himself and sat on a chair beside his mother."Son of Ophelia, Rodriguez, why have you called us all here? For what reason could it be?" Michael asked as he tapped his fingers on the table, making a clicking, uncomfortable sound.His questions fell to the mud when three minutes were already over and no one—not even Rodriguez—could give him a response.He knew that it was a bad sign for one of the brothers to summon the entire council when his elder brother was sick in the hospital.Ophelia looked up,
