Conri wouldn't know what hit him.“Mum, what About daddy, why isn't he coming with us?“ Drake asked.“Don't worry baby, he is right behind us,” Cullian waited patiently for Conri to arrive. He could already sense Conri near as Cullian was still behind the big tree.Just as Conri drew near. Cullian revealed himself. Causing Conri to freeze on his track.“Where do you think you're going?“ Cullian asked.“You! You asshole, so it was you who helped her escape?I knew it, I knew I saw you. She deceived me, she fucking deceived me,” Conri groaned.“What were you expecting? You expected her to run back to you, pretending like nothing happened, huh?““Get away, I need to go find my fiance,” Conri growled.“Your fiance? Well you'll have to get through me,” Cullian stood firm.“You're calling a battle right?“ Conri asked.“You are calling a battle by coming after a lady who is my wife, even after being warned severally,”“Cullian, get out of my way, now! This is your last warning,” Conri threat
Darlene found fresh water. She used Aurora's, Blake's and Drake's water bottles which she had taken along with her. When she got to the stream. She fetched a large amount of water. Filling each bottle to the top so it could be enough for the kids. She bent to drink from the stream when she noticed someone there. She quickly turned back to see who it was. But there was no one.She got to where the kids were. Serving them each bottles of stream water. It wasn't what they were used to. But it would save them all from thirst. And the way they were all gulping the water down their little throats. Darlene was happy they were free from thirst.Blake wiped his mouth, handing over the empty bottle to his mother, Darlene, they all did, and their bottles were empty. Hopefully, the pilot would arrive sooner. Speaking of the pilot.“Blake, what about our pilot? Did you get to reach him?“ Darlene asked. Blake nodded.“It's been ringing, but he's not been picking up. I got tired so I had to stop,” B
Both Gamma's growled running towards the direction Cullian took. They needed to stop Cullian and Darlene from leaving. They had to stop Darlene from leaving. Or else. Conri would have them killed. And not only that. Conri wouldn't be able to leave with the fact that he had Darlene again. But he let her slip off his arms again. He would ki for Darlene. Even if he had to kill Cullian.DARLENE.“Mum, I'm hungry,” Aurora complained.“Yeah, me too,” Blake added.“Me too mummy, we've been here for hours, I want to go home,” Drake lamented. “Don't worry honey, we will get out of here soon, okay,” I said to them. I turned to Cullian who wouldn't stop pacing around.“It's been twenty minutes, twenty whole minutes, and the pilot isn't here yet,” Cullian lamented.“Darling calm down, I'm sure he will be here, let's keep our hopes up,”“I swear, if I get hold of him, I'll kill him, I'll fucking rip his heart from his fucking chest,” Cullian said furiously.Darlene turned back. She could sense
As Cullian refocused at both Gamma's. The first Gamma charged again. but this time, Cullian anticipated the move. He sidestepped and grabbed the Gamma by the arm, throwing him to the ground. The second Gamma took advantage of the distraction, tackling Cullian from the side. “Get off me!“ Cullian grunted in painWith a surge of strength, Cullian rolled, throwing the second Gamma off. He quickly got to his feet and faced both Gammas, breathing heavily, adrenaline coursing through him.The first Gamma growled, getting up on its feet.“You’re tougher than you look, but you can’t win!“ The Gamma grumbled.“You’ll regret coming here!“ Cullian growled.The first Gamma attempted to strike back, but Cullian ducked and countered with a powerful uppercut, sending the Gamma sprawling.The second Gamma lunged again, but Cullian spined, catching him off-guard and throwing him to the ground.“Groans and snarling,” both Gamma's struggled to get up.Cullian stood over them, his muscles tensed, read
**CONRI.**“Shame! That is what you are! Shame!”“Father, please hear me out!” I tried to explain to my father that this whole mess wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been for that fool! That bastard!“Explain?! Explain what? That you called me to lie to me? Why would you claim to have someone and then lose them the next day, only to return home with injuries? What did I do to deserve this, Conri? You were once my pride, someone I would always want to boast about. But what changed you? What made you this weak, this stupid?” My father growled at me. He was so furious. I had never seen him this angry in my entire life.“Darlene ruined me. The day I found out how important she was to me was the day I lost myself. To gain myself back, I have to have her.”“Bullshit! Bullshit!” My father yelled. Suddenly, he began coughing.I reached for him because he was about to fall. “Father, are you okay?” I asked as he kept coughing. I began to panic as the cough worsened, almost as if he was findin
DARLENE.He got down on one knee, and then he proposed to me. Cullian proposed to me!Even when I thought I had put him through stress, that was when he proved to me that he was willing to go above and beyond for me.How did I get so lucky? How did I find a man like Cullian? In my entire life, I wouldn't have imagined that the goddess would bless me with such a man like him.Cullian slid the ring on my finger. Getting up on his knees. He pulled me out of the bed, and just when I got up on my feet, he bent to take my lips.As Cullian's lips met mine, I could feel the passion and intensity building between us. His arms wrapped around me, pulling me close to him. He pulled out of my lips, trailing kisses down my neck. While I ran my fingers through his hair, pulling him closer, I let out a soft moan as he reached the top of my dress, pulling it down to reveal my lacy bra. He wasted no time, his mouth finding my nipple through the fabric and teasing with his tongue.I could feel the wetn
We both held each other tightly, as we both drifted off to sleep.CONRI.I'm going insane! I'm fucking going crazy! Everything is just crumbling around me. And I can't do anything about it. This is not me. This is not who I am. I am always in control. I get whatever I want. Why then I'm I not able to handle everything right now. Why does it feel like my world is about to shatter right in front of me? And I won't be able to do anything.As I was pacing around the hallway. A man on white scrub approached me. He was the doctor. A human Doctor. I hate humans. Weak creatures.“Hey, how is my father doing?“ I asked.“You need to calm down Sir, I would like to speak to you in my office,” The human Doctor said. “I know what this is, my father isn't alright, I know, I can see it in your eyes, your body language. But right now I need you to cut to the chase and tell me what is going on,” I ordered.“Sir, your father is dead,” He said.What?! No! I wasn't expecting him to say that. I wanted him
“What's that?“ She asked.The throne is at stake. Where's Rebecca, we need to arrange for our marriage. We can't let any member of our pack hear about my father's death until I am married. Unless, someone else will be crowned king, and I can't let that happen,” I said. My mother narrowed her eyes, confused.“Now you're interested in getting married to Rebecca. What about Darlene, I thought your dad said you were with her a few days ago?“ She asked.“I was but… you know what? That's a long story, we can talk about that some other time. Right now, I need to find Rebecca,” I said.“She's gone, she got tired and left, since you weren't showing any interest in her. She had no there choice than to leave,”“Shit?“ I cursed under my breath. I ran my hands through my hair In frustration, wondering what I was going to do next.“Mum, we have to find a way to get her back,”“No, need for that, I think I have someone else for you,” my mother said with a smile of assurance. My mum had always known
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
