Kevin's POV"Ella! Ella! Wait up!" I shouted her name.She should have turned at the first call. She was a werewolf with heightened hearing and shouldn't have difficulties hearing her name when called especially when I was calling her at that distance. She should have heard me as I wasn't far to her. Not answering at the first time she was called could only mean one thing. She was distracted and was lost in her thoughts.Did she always have to make me panic? I sighed as I continued running. A distracted person on a dangerous path such as this was as good as prey for the wild and strange creatures here, an easily killed prey at that.The kids didn't hear me call as well but I didn't blame them for that. They were still young and their senses weren't as heightened as their mother's would be. Moreover, I knew without a doubt that they would be tired already with exhaustion from the long walk that they had been dealing with. That was also another disaster in the making. A tired wolf would
Ella's POVI was surprised to see Kevin though I wasn't too surprised that he was around. I didn't have to think much of it to know why he was there.One, Kevin couldn't live much without me. He was obsessed with me and I didn't mind that. I was surprised that he had last this long without me. I had even expected him to follow me immediately he saw my letter. I had expected him to meet me at the red witch's house so it wasn't much of a surprise that he was here.Two, Kevin loved his kids too much for him to let them be alone in an unfamiliar place without being there.Three, Kevin was a curious man and he couldn't have stayed at home without knowing how I planned to get the ten years back for him. He would have driven himself crazy, playing a lot of scenarios in his head.Four,...I was distracted when I felt him behind me, his breath lightly tickling my neck. I smiled as I turned to him, placing my hands on his as he wrapped them around my stomach."What are you thinking of?" He smil
Kevin's POVAfter I was sure that Ella had gone to bed and was with the kids, I moved out of the tent the moment I noticed that she was deeply asleep and her breathing had evened out.Liam was already out by the time I got out of the tent and he bowed to me.I made a gesture to him to move forward and walk towards me."Is there a problem, my lord?"I nodded. "I'm sorry for keeping you away from your sleep." I had made a signal to him earlier when Ella was with me that I would like to see him."It's no problem, your highness." He replied again with a bow.I raised a finger up and arched my eyebrows at him. "This has to stop.""What?" He asked, looking genuinely confused.I smiled, not blaming him. I knew this was going to happen. That was why I had to call him out here for us to be alone because he might be embarrassed to do this if Ella is here. We needed time to practice for him to get used to it and I also needed time to get used to it. I wasn't sure it wouldn't sound strange to me
Ella's POV"Do you hear that sound?" Kevin asked, his voice sounding excited.I strained my ears, trying to hear what he was talking about but I couldn't pick up on any sounds."I can also hear it." Liam said.I frowned, wondering why I couldn't hear it."What can you hear?" I asked.They gave me a look like they couldn't believe I didn't hear what they were saying."I can hear people. It seems like a market." Kevin said."I hope that is true." I said, excited about the prospect of meeting someone else apart from those with me. It wasn't that I was tired of seeing their faces but it would be refreshing to see someone else and interact with them.We continued walking till we got to an intersection and my eyes widened at the sight of the people there. There were a lot of people here and they were strange."Look at them, mummy." Nathan pointed at the people. "They are strange."I smiled as I ran my hand through his hair. I couldn't agree more with him. They were strange here. I almost la
Ella's POVWe got to the path that led to the human world and I didn't hesitate to move forward. I held two of the boys by the hand as I walked and Liam had the third one in his hand while Kevin took the front row."We have to go through that crack in the cave and we should be out on the road that leads to the human world."Two hours later, we were out on the road as Kevin had predicted. It wasn't hard to find it as there were some people making their way to the human world as well from the intersection market where I had pawned off that gold. All we had to do was to follow them and we were out."Where to?" Liam asked."We should find a bus here to convey us to where we want to go." I said.I had lived with the humans in the utopia town and knew a bit of the words they used while living with the psycho count and cooking with the servants he had.As far as the law was concerned in the human world, we were illegal immigrants and couldn't afford to travel by flight. That would be the fas
Ella's POV"You don't have to worry about anything like that." I told him. "We are only here to have fun ans adventure, right?""Right, mum." He nodded.I smiled. That was the spirit. We continued moving, looking at signs till we found what we were looking for in the neighborhood that we wanted to stay in. I hoped that it would be a smooth transition for us as I didn't want to call too much attention to ourselves while we were on an undercover mission.I felt excited about it already. I didn't know what was going to happen here but I suspected that it was going to be a lot more than we bargained for and it was also going to be fun."Mellus Real Estate Holdings." I muttered under my breath as I stared at the boldly written words on the billboard in front of the building.This was it. Well, I hoped this was it.This would be the seventh office that we would see while we have been out on the street but this would be the first one that I knew we could be comfortable enough to get inside.
Ella's POVI breathed in, loving the smell in the air as the realtor took us through the apartment. It smelled nice, like a new house and I wanted to stay here forever but I needed to move on. We needed to check out the whole apartment and sign the papers. Asides that, we had a lot that we needed to do."This is the whole apartment. I hope you like what you see." He said as he took us back to the front door where we had begun the journey."I love it and I'm sure others do as well." I said, acting as the spokesperson for our team."Please sign this then after making the payment. Are you making a transfer?" He asked, pushing a paper to me and placing it on the ledge that we were standing beside."I'm paying in cash." I said."Cash." He said, smiling widely.I brought out the money I already counted and gave it to him, noting how his smile widened. I didn't think anyone's smile could be that wide without spoiling the lips but it turned out that I was wrong.I signed the lease documents a
Kevin's POVLiam and I were at the supermarket to get some groceries and i hoped a disagreement didn't come out of this. Ella would have come here by herself but the boys didn't sleep as we had expected them to so she had to stay over and watch them.Everything seemed strange as we moved through the aisle, watching the food items. We weren't going to stay this long but it seemed like we have used almost an hour already and there was nothing in our basket. It would have been better if Ella had come here by herself since she was familiar with the human world more than we were. She had once helped out in the kitchen when she had been with the count and would have seen the things they brought from the supermarket as groceries. It wasn't that I was proud of her stay there—as I always had to force myself to control my temper anytime I remember that my mate had once been taken as a slave by someone, a mere mortal man—but I felt she would be able to use the knowledge she had used in this scen
