“W—who is he?“ I stuttered“His name is Mr Alex,” they all said in unison.“Mr Alex? Are you sure?“ Cullian asked.“Yes,” they nodded in unison.“Alright sweeties, let's go inside,” I said, and they all ran inside, then I and Cullian followed behind.The fact that Drake would come up with such words was disturbing, and I knew Cullian was also disturbed. I needed to find out, I needed to be sure.CULLIAN.It was nearly midnight, Darlene and the kids were already fast asleep, I needed to pay Conri a visit, Conri needed to know his limit and stay away from my family, this whole bullshit had to end.I Stepped out of the building, two gamma guards were asleep on duty, with my smooth and fast reflexes, I quietly opened the gate, without them noticing. Yes! It was my house, I had the right to leave my house freely, but at the same time, I didn't want Darlene to notice I had left in the middle of the night. I needed to take care of things on my own, and protecting my family was my job.I was
“Cullian?“ I turned to see Darlene standing behind me.“Why are you out here by this time of the night?“ I asked.“I should be asking you—and,” she walked two steps forward, then she halted,”“Why are you in your wolf form? Was there an attack?“ Her eyes flew open.“It's been a long time since I shifted, but I needed to, I wanted to know what it feels like again,” I lied, but I should sense doubt.“THAT'S NOT TRUE, CULLIAN WOULDN'T JUST WANT To SHIFT WITHOUT NO REASON, IN FACT HE LOVED THE FACT THAT HE WAS SLOWLY BECOMING MORE OF A HUMAN, SOMETHING IS WRONG, I CAN SENSE IT,” I read through her mind.One thing I had kept from Darlene was that I couldn't just sense her feelings, but I could read through her mind whenever I was in my wolf form. I remember the nights I had saved from the hands of that dangerous gamma, somehow for a strange reason, I could sense her pain, even if we weren't mated, I had never done that before and luckily she is here with me. Just take a look at her, so bea
“Cullian, I want to get pounded by that huge c*ck of yours,” I gave her a smile, one she understood as we began heading upstairs.CONRI'S.“That son of a bitch! How dare he?“ I cursed. “What's wrong Conri, Don't tell me it's still about Darlene, you must know it's time for you to give up, move on and who knows she might not be the right one for you,” Laila said to me.“Don't!, just don't, you know what? Leave my office right this instant,"I said, as anger built in me.“B-but, I…”“I said leave!'' I yelled as Laila jerked in fear, I didn't want to hear anymore of her bullshit.“Alright, i'll leave,” she raised both her hands to the air, then she stood up.She opened the door to my office, about to exit the room, but she paused, then she turned to me“Remember what I told you earlier, time is running out and soon this whole thing might dawn on you,” she said then she proceeded to exit the room.“Darlene you're driving me crazy, so—so crazy, why are you doing this to me? I just want you
“Good day Mrs Emily, you asked to see me?“ I watched a man with blonde hair, sea blue eyes, in his early twenties, advanced towards us. I could sense that he was completely human.“Good day ma'am,” he turned to me, I couldn't find the right words to respond, this man was so damn beautiful, No! I didn't say handsome, beautiful!I nodded my head, while I watched him sit beside me.“Mr Matthew, this is the mother of Aurora, Drake, and Blake, the triplets in your class. She requested to see you," Mrs Emily informed him.“Good day ma'am, your kids are so awesome and smart, they are one of the best kids in my class,” he said as I watched a smile cross his lips. Wait! Was that dimple I just saw? Gawdess! How could one be this beautiful as a man? His sea blue eyes, that matched with the blue shirt he had on, his long eyes lashes, too long for any man to possess, his defined jawline, his cherry lips and those dimples added up to make this very man, a perfection. But why did he choose to become
“What are you doing here Mr Matthew?“ I turned back to see if Cullian was coming, he wasn't.“I'm sorry, I know this is unusual, but I decided to drop them off today,” he said with a smile that revealed his dimples.“But the school bus normally drops them off, why did you have to go through the stress?“ I asked, then I turned back again to see if Cullian was there, this time he was, he just stood by the door, watching us.“Good day sir,” Mr Matthew greeted, and Cullian nodded his head in response.“Well thank you for your help, how about you stay for dinner?“ I asked, I was only trying to be nice, and also appreciating what he did.“Wow, Thank you Mrs Darlene, that would be nice,” he said in amusement.“Alright come in then, I turned to have a glimpse of his car, how could a teacher drive such an expensive car?“Who is he?“ Cullian asked me.“Uhh—he's the kid's new teacher,” I responded. Cullian lifted a brow as he gave me a questioning look.“What's he doing here, and why did he brin
“Wait! Cullian, How the hell did you Know I had given Mr Matthew my number? I never told you that. Besides I only gave him because he asked and it was necessary,” I explained.“Yes it was necessary, but that wasn't why he got your number, you want to know why?“ Cullian smirks at me, almost in a devious manner.“Tell me then,” I rolled my eyes.“Well honey, what you don't know is that he fell in love with you the moment he walked into the principal's office,” Cullian said.“Cullian!“ “What!“ He smirked.“Is there something you're not telling me?“ I asked.“Oh wait I know! It's his dimples you find attractive right, and the fact that I don't have dimples too,” he kept teasing me, completely ignoring my question.“You!“ I raised my left hand, attempting to hit him and he ran out of the kitchen, laughing mockingly.It was past nine PM, the kids were already fast asleep, Cullian was in the bathroom, taking his shower. I already had mine, so I sat on the king sized bed waiting for him to
“Who is it?“ Cullian asked.“uhh—,” I stuttered.“It's him right?“ “Who?“ I asked, although I know what he meant, I knew he was asking about Mr Matthew. And he was right Mr Matthew was calling me that late at night, why would he be calling me by this time if he collected my number for the advantage of the kids?Cullian raised a brow, staring at me.“Why are you looking at me like that, it might probably be a mistake, he must have butt dialled me,” I mumbled.“He must have butt dialled you, yet this is the third time your phone is ringing?Look honey, why do you have to act like you don't know what I'm talking about, all you should do is to tell me I said so earlier and I was right, it wouldn't take you anything,” Cullian said.“Alright fine, you're right, I'm sorry it's just that you're always right, and it makes me feel sad sometimes when you predict things and then it happens just like you say it would,” I mumbled.“It's Alright darling, you just have to do the right thing, if it h
“What are you doing in my house?“ Cullian asked, there was seriousness in his voice.“Uh—i, I just wanted to drop off the kids,” Mr Matthew stuttered.“And who asked you to? Didn't my wife let you know we wouldn't be needing you?“ “I know, b—but..,”“You know what? Just shut up, shut the fuck up,” Cullian cut him off.“Now get into your car and leave this premises, you wouldn't want me to get nasty in front of my kids, get out and never come back,” Cullian said assertively. And as my husband spoke, Matthew moved backwards until he got to his car and zoomed out of our compound without saying a word. He was quite lucky because the kids were around, with the anger burning in Cullian's eyes, Mr Matthew would have been laying dead by now.“Daddy, why did you yell at Mr Matthew, he's our friend,” Aurora complained while the two boys nodded in agreement.“Alright, let's go in guys!“ Cullian mumbled.*****Two days later we had our things moved to another mansion of ours, only that this one
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
