Nex’s POV“Are you really going to come pick us up from kindergarten today, Mommy?”“Yes, Hailey, I will.”“She already promised us last night, Hailey. You know Mom always keep her promises.”“I know, Helix, but it’s usually Grandma Georgia who comes to pick us up.”A soft chuckle escaped my throat
Hailey pouted when he brought up how busy my job usually is. “I know, but…”I didn’t like to see my children upset, and patted her on the head. “Don’t worry, Hailey. I promised, didn’t I? I’ll definitely pick you and Helix up.”“Pinky swear?” she asked, holding her pinky up.I smiled softly at this,
Beowulf’s POV“In other news, the Howler Company has truly rose in ranks over the past few years. This company was just created five years ago, and already has become one of the three biggest, wealthiest companies in Mysta City. Such a thing is unheard of, with very little information known about th
‘Where are you, Nex…?’ I wondered, feeling my wolf whine in me, missing our mate just as much as I do.“What of the deliveries to Drake?” I said, wanting to change the subject.“Deliveries have been going well, as far as I heard,” Kora answered. “And before you ask, in regards to any news about the
Nex’s POV“Okay, guys, here are your hamburger sets~” Miss Georgia sang, as she set down two trays of hamburger meals before Hailey and Helix. The two looked at the burger set before them- complete with fries and a large glass of soda- with such joy, and picked up the main dish. “Thank you for the
I felt lips getting placed my forehead and saw it was Miss Georgia who lightly kissed me. “I’ll send the kids home if you don’t get back by the time the cafe closes,” she offered.“Thank you, Miss Georgia,” I thanked. I turned to Hailey and Helix and gave both of them a peek on the cheek. “I’ll be b
With all my prior plans canceled for the day, I ended up in front of one of the addresses on the list, called ‘Grandma’s Home’. It was a small café filled with people, most likely due to dinner rush. More importantly… Though faint, it has Nex’s scent.‘Must be her go-to place to eat in this world,’
“Please, Grandma!” Hailey pleaded.I wonder if it’s because they’re my mate’s kids. The way they were pleading was making my wolf react in a protective manner, which came as a surprise for me. I’d have thought since they were also children of some human scum, Beethoven would react in a negative mann
“Nex… I have something to confess to you,” he said, raising more of my confusion, which then turned to fear. Did something happen while I was away for two years? Beowulf licked his lips for a moment, moisturizing them with his saliva, before continuing to speak. “I… In these past two years, I couldn
Nex’s POVWith the interrogation done, Helio and I made our way back to Beowulf and Helix, holding hands as we walked. The questions weren’t so difficult; just asking about how I was treated, what was Helio’s connection with the mafia and his life there, and what our connection was. All I was worrie
“If you can believe that, then yes.” I grew even more lost by the response, in which she seemed to have noticed. “Beowulf, a lot has happened in this kingdom while we were gone. One of them being Drake and Garon’s… relationship. So to say.”“How do you mean?” I questioned.“Well… They’re close, you
Nex’s POVI wasn’t sure what happened or why… One moment, Zeke appeared with Helix in his hold, threatening to take his life. The next we knew, he killed Raiha, and gave her as much comfort as he could in her passing. “Mom!” I was snapped out of my stupor upon hearing Helix call for me, as I turned
“Dad is already on his way to Mom, isn’t he? If they see him with me, they will think that mafia leader won. Even the leader will think that, if she is that crazy for revenge. And she will definitely try something horrible to Mom and Dad, without having to worry about what they will do. If he brings
Zeke’s POVHow do I feel about what just happened? About what I just did. I doubt it would be pride; what was there to be prideful about in this situation?I was just standing in the woods, with a gun in my hand, and one of my target in my other hand. One look at the situation before me- of Raiha co
“You already had a destined mate. Only you used him as a tool he wasn’t. Took advantage of his love for you,” I pointed out, causing her to flinch at the reminder. “As if that wasn’t enough, you tried to kill a fellow werewolf just to get what you want. You let your own father- a respectable Alpha-
Beowulf’s POVAfter I briefly met with the captain and told him that I knew where Raiha went, I left the matter of the hideout to him and his team, who arrived not long after we did. At first, he tried to either get me to stay or join me to get Raiha, but I managed to convince him otherwise. Tell hi
At first I wasn’t able to process the words that came out of her mouth. Not with the pain I was experiencing. However, slowly, I caught on to the meaning behind it, and looked up at her. “W-Wait… You promised… you wouldn’t hurt them!” I managed to shout.“Only so long as you be live feed for the bra
