I now sat in Beowulf’s office, across my boss and mate at his desk, looking down in what may as well be shame. After I asked if he was free to meet with me, like a dog loving its owner, he immediately agreed to see me, without so much as ask why. That said…“So that’s why you came to see me?” he ask
I became confused by the sudden question. “Yes, that’s right. Why do you ask?” I asked back.He rubbed the back of his neck, seemingly nervous about something. For some reason, the way he was acting made me feel nervous myself, a bad feeling creeping up on me. “Well, if it is fine with you, I want t
It was late afternoon when I drove my car to the school Hailey and Helix attend, Sunshine School. As I drove, I couldn’t help feeling a little nervous. They may be children, but they’re my children, with currently a bad history towards male adults claiming to be their mother’s friend.Well, Nex said
I placed a reassuring hand on her head. “Don’t worry, Hailey. Your brother will be just fine.” To Helix, I called out to him. “Helix. Helix, you listen to me now. What you’re going through is a change.”“It… hurts…” he breathed out, wheezing painfully.I would’ve expected this to be painful for him,
One race around the trail later, Helix and I regrouped at the spot we were before. While I was quite fine with the little run, my son was a bit exhausted, as he lied panting on the ground. As for Hailey, my daughter managed to stay on my back during the whole run, and seemed dazed by the time we ret
I smiled lightly at how excited she sounded. “Yeah. Don’t know when, but someday for sure. Just… Don’t tell anyone about this. It may sound cool to you, but to other people, it’s more on the frightening side. Most people fear what they don’t understand. Even if they are your friends, you need to be
Nothing was better than coming home to your kids after a long day at work. While the day was the same as always- plus Roxanne’s constant questions about Beowulf- the work was still a bit exhausting. But seeing my kids after I was done with it made the feeling worth it.“Hi, kids. How was your-?” I w
I looked to my son in confusion. He who was still on his spot on the floor, while Hailey was the one who hugged me tight. Not only that, but they both seemed to be trembling.“I couldn’t sleep well with all that moving and shifting around back in the car, or when you and Dad carried me and Hailey ba
“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
