Nex’s POV“Are we really going to the zoo today?” Hailey excitedly asked, as I helped her into her outdoor clothes.“Yes, of course we are. I did say that we will the other day, didn’t I?” I answered.“With Uncle John?!”“Yep. That’s right.”“Oh boy! I can’t wait~!” she cried out, jumping in sheer j
“Again? You really didn’t have to,” I spoke up then.“It’s my first trip with this family. Of course I have to,” he insisted, as though it was the most obvious thing to do.While Hailey was filled with excitement at the sight, Helix was not as cheery, as he looked to John in suspicion. “More bribes,
I grew confused at the statements made. “Message?”He didn’t give a response; just took one of my hand into his. “Nex. I have known you for over four years. In these four years, I’ve gone through a lot of hardship in my private life. Things I doubt you’d believe or experienced. I thought so long as
“I know we’re in a relationship now, but you really didn’t need to pick me up every time,” I told John, as we’ve arrived at Stanfield Hospital via his limo.“You say that like I have time to drop you off to work every morning. This is the first time I picked you and your kids up this early since we
As I ate, I noticed Dori’s group chatting amongst themselves in excitement. I grew curious of their conversation and focused on my wolf hearing.“I can’t believe the company actually got bought off by the CEO of Howler Corp. You think we’re going to get some new devices?” one of them asked.“It’s po
After I got permission from my boss to at least leave work for a bit for my son, I rushed as fast as i could to his and Hailey’s school. As I ran, I kept thinking about the phone call with his homeroom teacher. Helix… In an argument with his classmate? One that nearly escalated into a fight? It didn
“I don’t have time for this. Come on, Roman. Your father wants to see you home,” she said.As she said that, her son looked to Helix with a smug expression on his face. “Yeah. At least my dad is waiting for me at home,” he said, with what sounded like a hint of mockery in his tone.I glanced down at
It was a new day in Mysta City. As per the new usual, John drove me and my kids to work and school respectively. Unlike the usual, though, I was told by Cameron to meet with him and the higher-ups in the cafeteria. Not because I was in trouble or anything, but to meet with our new CEO. I was quite s
“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
