“Ahhh! Mummy, Daddy, Help me!“ it was Aurora's voice. This made I and Cullian jump off in fear and hastily we wore our clothes, heading to the kids room.“Honey, what is it? Tell me,” I ran towards her, she had used her blankets to cover up her face as she whimpered.“Mummy it's him,” she mumbled, my heart beat increased as the thought of Conri crossed my mind.“Wh-what! who?“ I asked.“Common baby, talk to us,” Cullian added.“It's the boogie man, from yesterday, he came to take me,” Aurora mumbled.“The boogie man, oh shit! The boogie man,” I remembered, it was from the scary series we watched yesterday evening.“Aurora, I told you he wasn't real, I told you not to think too much about it baby, it's all made up, there's no boogie man,” I tried to convince her.“What or who is boogie man?“ Cullian raised a brow.“It's nothing,” I didn't want him to know I let the kids watch scary movies with me, he complains I treat the kids as adults. Do I?“Well my princess,” Cullian removed her bl
“Uh—i,” I stuttered.“Kids go wait in the living room,” Cullian told the kids and they all ran towards the living room area.“Look honey, it's just that I have been having this dreams about Conri showing up and taking the kids away, and that has made me so anxious.“ I lied, No! I didn't lie, the thought of Conri taking the kids away has been my worst fear these past few days, but at the same time, there was no need of telling Cullian about Conri showing up. After all, he hadn't shown up since yesterday, and I'm sure he was gone for good, trust me this was for my husband's security, I didn't want him overworking himself about something that was irrelevant. “I knew something was wrong, but why didn't you tell me, even when I asked if everything was alright, you know i hate It when you keep things from me, especially when it's bothering you, your problems are mine and you know I'm always willing to help,” he advanced towards me.“I love you Darlene, and there's no way anyone is taking y
DARLENE.“I love you Darlene, and there's no way anyone is taking you away from me, not even Conri, so do not fear, you're mine,” he hugged me tightly and then whispered in my ear.“Happy anniversary my wife,” he cupped my face and bent to kiss me, slowly and softly he kissed me, yet I could sense that he was already beginning to worry, I knew how much Cullian loved and obsessed over me, and the thought of losing me, could give him sleepless nights, that's why I didn't want to get him involved in this whole shit!I broke out of the kiss, and looked deep into his amber eyes, honey, I promise you, I would never leave you, I'm yours and that's not going to change,” I assured him, and he nodded.“The food is ready, I'll serve breakfast,” I said.“Let me help then,” he opened the cabinet and brought out some white ceramic plates, while I dished out the food.I, Cullian and the kids were seated at the dining table. I picked up my phone from the table, turned it on the check for the time, it
“What's that honey?“ Cullian asked. “Uh—Uhmm, it's from Tamara, the kids help as a gift,” I lied.“Why would she send you an underwear for an anniversary gift?“ Cullian lifted a brow.“It's what she could afford, don't blame her….,” I wasn't done talking yet when I heard a knock.I opened the door, Tamara was standing by the door.“Good day ma'am,” she greeted me, then she shifted her gaze to Cullian who was standing beside me.“Good day Sir,” Cullian nodded.“Why do you always show up late, you know we could replace you if we want,” I said, trying to bring a different whole new topic, so that Cullian wouldn't ask her about the gift, but something happened. “I'm so sorry ma, I had to stop by the gift shop, I couldn't show up without a gift.“ Shit! I cursed underneath my breath.“But you already got her one, why the need?“ Cullian folded both his arms.“Yes she did, but I guess she felt this was inappropriate, right?“ I winked at Tamara trying to cover up. She nodded even if there wa
Wait what! I heard myself scream in disbelief. At this time Darlene had looked up to see me standing there and I was sure she knew I heard most of the conversation too.“C—Cullian,” she called, as if that was the only word she could make out of her mouth.So my instinct was right, Darlene was really hiding something from me, not just something she was hiding Someone, wait did i hear Conri name right or it was just my mind fucking with me? Why would she do such a thing to me? Why would she hide such a thing from me?“Cullian, let me explain,” I was deeply lost in my thought that I didn't realize when Darlene came up to where I stood.“What's going on between you and Conri?“ I asked, I needed to know, because slowly I was losing it.“No- babe! There's nothing going on between us. I swear, I would never do that to you,” she explained.“Why is he asking about our family, about the kids?“ I questioned, I was running out of patience.“Look, calm down baby, please, we don't have to discuss
“M—mummy, who is my real daddy?“Hearing this, Darlene turned to me. Her eyes welled up with tears, I didn't know what to say, or what to do, I was dumbfounded.Darlene turned back to Drake, she reached for his chubby cheek and gently squeezed it with her finger.“Now who told you such a lie, look he is your father,” Darlene pointed at me, and I felt my tummy tingle, then she continued.“Whoever told you such a thing is just a trouble maker, I'm sure whoever is calling you, just wants to prank on you, do not listen to such things, those are liars and haters, okay?” Darlene tried to convince him. I was wondering, taking the phone away from the kids at least for now wouldn't be bad, right? I thought to myself. But I was sure to discuss it with her later on.“Okay mummy, but mummy, why are you crying?“ Drake, who was always inquisitive about everything, asked his mum,” I watched Darlene clean her eyes as tears had begun to roll down her cheek, a wide grin spread across her lips and sh
I loosened my white robe, I was about to hop into the bathtub when I heard Cullian say to me.“Mind if I join you?“ Cullian asked, I turned to him, giving him a questioning look.“Do you always have to ask?“ I teased.I watched him take off his clothes until he was completely naked. We both got into the tub as the warm water soaked both our skin.Cullian sat behind me, his muscular body hovering over my body, while we both cuddled each other, the foams from the bathtub covering our body yet I could feel his hands touching my boobs as he began to play with my nipples. I could feel my nipples harden and I began to feel a warm sensation down my pussy.“Darlene,” he stopped playing with my nipples. I turned to look at his face, then my eyes fell on his glowing amber eyes.“I love you,” his voice was deep and rough.“I love you more...” I responded but he cut me off too soon, sooner than I could finish my statement.“No, I love you Darlene,” he shook his head in disagreement. (was he trying
CONRI“Master, I did what you asked me to do,” Lucas, one of the pack members, said to me.“Who received the package?“ I asked.“Darlene, it was Darlene who took the package from me,” he responded.“Thank you, you can leave,” I said to him.Yes! Just like I wanted, I am sure that if I trigger most of the past, more especially the day we both made love together, I am certain she would begin to remember how much she was madly in love with me.“Whatever it takes me to have you Darlene, I'll do it, even of it involves removing your bloody husband from the picture,” It was already noon, I still haven't gotten a call from Darlene, isn't she mad at me? Like doesn't she know why I sent it to her?She had managed to secure all the phones in her house including her, and now i can't get access to none, not even her children's, “Gosh! I'm going crazy here, I need to hear her voice. It's been days I set my eyes on her” I dug my hand into my hair and began to scratch my scalp with my fingers.“Bos
DARLENE'S POV. The weight of Conri’s voice lingered in my mind as I stood frozen by the phone. Panic surged within me, but I couldn’t let fear take hold of me—not here, not now. I and Cullian had fought too hard for this peace. “Mommy?” Aurora’s voice broke through my thoughts. I turned to see her standing in the doorway, concern etched on her face. I couldn’t let her see my fear. “Just a minute, sweetie!” I called out, forcing a smile. I needed to focus on what mattered, my husband—my children, my family. Cullian walked out of the kitchen agaim, his brow furrowed with worry. “Darlene, what’s wrong?” “It was nothing, just a client,” I lied, pushing down the knot in my stomach. I didn’t want to ruin the evening with my fears. “Alright,” He nodded, but I could still see the concern in his eyes. As i made my way upstairs, my children ran around me, I tried to join in, but my thoughts kept drifting back to Conri. How could he still be alive? ——— We had dinner together, a
DARLENE'S POVA month had passed since we moved back home, and life haven't felt as peaceful.l as it feels now. I now enjoyed my daily routine—mornings filled with laughter, long days at work, and cozy evenings with my family. It was everything I had fought for, and I was thankful for it all.As I walked through the front door, tired from a long day, I felt the stress begin to melt away because I could hear the sounds of my kids laughing in the living room, which made me smile.“Mummy!” Aurora shouted, her little feet rushing toward me. I dropped my bag and knelt down, arms wide open to receive her.“Hey, my little sunshine!” I hugged her tightly. Drake and Blake soon joined us, their faces lit with excitement.“Did you bring us anything?” Blake asked, his big eyes sparkling.“Just this,” I said, ruffling his hair which made him giggle. Just then, Cullian appeared from the kitchen, a towel over his shoulder and a grin on his face.“Welcome home!” he said, his voice warm and invitin
CULLIAN'S POV.The room felt like a battleground, the air filled with the scent of sweat and blood. Every breath I took tasted metallic. Conri loomed before me. His eyes burned with a relentless rage.As we clashed again, pain shot through my body. Conri’s claws raked across my side, tearing through flesh and fur. I winced, feeling the warm trickle of blood pooling beneath my pelt. Each strike from him felt like a hammer against my bones, and I struggled to keep my footing. 'I can’t let him win. I can’t let him take them from me.'“Is this all you’ve got?” Conri mocked, his breath hot and foul. “You’re just prolonging the inevitable.” The taunt stung more than the wounds he inflicted.I lunged at him, desperation fueling my movements. I managed to catch his flank with my teeth, but he retaliated with a brutal snap of his jaws. His teeth sank into my shoulder, and I let out a growl of pain, the sharpness of his bite sending shockwaves through my body. 'How much longer can I endure this
Darlene's POVDarlene couldn't stop walking around room in Hawaii, her heart racing. They had flown here seeking safety and peace, but now a heavy weight of dread settled in her chest. Cullian had promised to protect them, and yet he hadn’t answered her calls. “Mummy, is Daddy coming back soon?” Blake’s small voice broke through her thoughts.Darlene knelt beside her son, forcing a smile. “Yes, sweetie. Daddy will be back soon. He just has some important things to take care of.” But inside, her anxiety grew. She had tried calling Cullian several times, each unanswered ring echoing in her mind.The air felt charged, as if a storm was brewing. Darlene’s instincts screamed that something was wrong. She could feel it deep in her bones. The thought of Cullian facing danger alone made her stomach twist. “Why won’t he answer?” she murmured, glancing at Blake, who seemed to sense her worry. “Is he okay?” Blake asked, his eyes wide with concern.“I hope so, honey. I really hope so.” Darlene
Cullian paced, his heart racing. He could sense something was off; the air was thick with tension. Suddenly, a loud crash broke in. Cullian rushed to the window, his instincts screaming at him. He saw figures moving in the darkness—his guards. They were fighting, but one by one, they fell, taken down swiftly by an unseen force. "Conri…" Cullian muttered under his breath. He knew him too well, and he knew this was no ordinary attack. Just as Cullian turned to grab his jacket, a loud bang echoed through the front door. It burst open, and there stood Conri, his presence dominating the room. He was alone, but his aura was enough to fill the space with dread. Cullian’s jaw clenched. “You shouldn’t have come here, Conri.”“I had to see you one last time before I end this,” Conri replied, a smirk on his lips. The two men faced each other, tension crackling in the air. Cullian stepped forward, fists clenched. “You think you can just walk in here and threaten my family?”Conri chuckled da
As I neared the exit, I knew I would do whatever it took to find her. Nothing would stand in my way.DARLENE'S POV.“Mummy! Daddy!” Drake and Blake shouted in unison as they raced toward us. My heart melted as they enveloped Cullian and me in a tight embrace, their warmth a stark contrast to the chilling events that had just unfolded.We had literally escaped death. It was heartbreaking to realize that, for a moment, I had feared we might never see our children again. The thought lingered painfully in my mind, a reminder of how fragile our lives could be.Cullian knelt down, gently ruffling Blake's and Drake's hair with a tender smile. “I missed you so much, buddy,” he said, his voice filled with relief.“But Dad, why did you leave us all day? We woke up and couldn’t find you. Where did you three go?” Drake asked, his brows furrowed in confusion and concern.“We were kidnapped,” Aurora mumbled softly, her voice trembling. “But Dad came to save us,” she added, her eyes shining with adm
Cullian’s POVThe footsteps grew louder, each step a reminder of the danger we were in. I felt the weight of responsibility pressing down on me—not just for Darlene and Aurora, but for my two sons back home, who must be worrying about us. Hours had passed since we left, and the thought of them waiting, anxious and alone, fueled my resolve.“Darlene, stay quiet,” I whispered, my eyes scanning the dim corridor for any sign of escape. I could feel Aurora trembling against me, her small hands gripping my shirt tightly. I needed to reassure them both, but I had to stay focused.The guard’s footsteps paused just outside the door, and I held my breath, praying he wouldn’t turn back. I could see the tension in Darlene’s shoulders, and I wished I could ease her fears. If we were caught now, we would all be lost—my family’s safety depended on this moment.Just then, a faint noise caught my attention—an alarm blaring somewhere in the distance. The guard’s head snapped toward the sound, his expr
“Darlene,” he whispered, leaning closer, “I think I have an idea.”My breath hitched as I met his eyes. “What is it?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. Cullian glanced back at the dead man sprawled on the ground a few feet away. “We can take his uniform. It’s a little tight, but it should work. I can sneak out past the guards if I look like one of them.”I nodded, understanding the urgency of our situation. “Okay, but be careful. We don’t know how many guards are out there.”He nodded, and I watched as he moved cautiously toward the body. I kept my eyes on the entrance, ready to alert him if anyone approached. The man lay still, the remnants of life extinguished in a single gunshot. I suppressed a shudder as I thought about how close we had come to a similar fate. Cullian knelt beside him, carefully unbuttoning the uniform jacket. “Here goes nothing,” he murmured, stripping off the jacket and shirt. I could see the muscles in his arms tense as he pulled the fabric over his he
The fight went on until...“Let my family go, you bastard!” Cullian yelled, pushing Conri out the window.“What’s going on? I heard noises,” Conri's mother rushed into the room, her gaze landing on Cullian.“Who the hell are you?! Guards!” Conri's mother yelled.“You shouldn’t worry about them. They’re all unconscious. I’m just here to get my wife and daughter,” Cullian said, breaking the chains from my hands and legs.Conri's mother didn’t know that her son had fallen out of the window. Cullian and I kept quiet because if she found out, we wouldn’t be leaving here.“Why, then, is the room a mess, and where is my son?” she asked, her gaze searching the room.Cullian ignored her, grabbing my hand. “Come on, Darlene, let’s go. We have to find Aurora,” he said. I nodded.“I think I know where she is,” I responded, getting down from the bed as we both walked out of the room, leaving Conri's mother dumbstruck.“Hey, I need to get my daughter back,” I said, approaching the maid. She looked
