There goes my chance of contacting Rex. I wondered if I could request a phone from Joreme but then how would I be able to get Rex's number?With a sigh, I stepped away from the car,"Thank you" I said to the man who had helped me. He nodded, locking the door with its keys.The maid had gone which left me to find my way back alone, I took the stairs finding my way back to the kitchen."Joreme isn't doing anything" someone scoffed, It was a woman's voice, hushed and filled with urgency. She held a mug of steaming coffee as she left the kitchen, I was straining to catch the words feeling there was something familiar about her voice. "I understand your tension ma'am" the man beside her said but she waved him off."Leave me be I'm heading to the study" she responded which hit me where I had heard her voice before the night when Joreme had spoken about Gwen.This was my chance to find something, her heels click-clacked on the marble tiles directing me through the corridors to where she was
Joan's povI glanced around the room, feeling my heart was caught in my throat.The files were real, the exact same one I scanned through everyone of them recognizing each one.Holy shit!I rushed to lock my room wondering why I never locked it in the first place.Walking carefully towards the bathroom just to ensure I was alone and no one was playing a prank on me, to my relief it was empty.Nothing in the room looked out of place, the windows looked the same way I left it though I didn't have to bother about it.Climbing through the window was sucide yet the files were on my bed.How was that possible?Was it the lady on heels who was behind this?Why would she help me? Or was this some kind of elaborate plan to show my true intentions?I laid back on the bed checking each one carefully for some kind of warning, a message, note anything but they all looked perfectly intact.She even threw in the picture of the Russian, a bald man with a scar running from the top of his eye down to
Rex's POV"Gentlemen" I began, "uhm" I cleared my throat tugging at my shirt."It's understandable if you want to take a leave from the pack affairs it must be hard knowing your mate is a traitor" an Elder interjected.That was not why I was apprehensive, the thought of Joan with Joreme pushed me on the edge and the worst part of it all was that I caused it."Ehmm thank you so much for bringing that up Elder Leo" I waved in his direction wanting him to explain to the Elders what he said to me because my mind was unsettled."Gentlemen we all know the mm recent matters that have caused our pack a lot of turmoil but we were misinformed, fooled into thinking Joan is a traitor" Elder Leo voiced confidently."That's impossible all the facts-""Were circumstantial and the main evidence the video was alternated" The elders looked at one another confused, murmuring lightly."Please explain" I urged, Leo nodded then brought out his phone."This is the video with the fake audio, look behind the
Rex's POVI felt so much relief after speaking to her with a final response. I checked out the pictures she had sent.I scoffed, this was exactly something Joreme would get involved in, shipping opium to Russians and trying to dupe them too bad karma had caught up to him and his plan failed.I dialed Tyler's number wanting to tell him to do some research on the man but it went straight to voicemail.I tried three more times. It was the same result that led to.the conclusion I had to find someone else to look for him.I sent the picture to a friend I knew I could trust next to Tyler.'Do a little digging and find out who this man is' he gave a reply that he'll be on it as soon as possible.I tried my possible best to get some sleep but I couldn't, I had a shitty night and a migraine to thank for it and yet still no news about the bank issue.They always said if you want to get something done do it yourself.Pulling on some clothes I brewed coffee then took the keys to a car.I started
"Alpha please give me another chance" he pleaded."You can kindly pack your things and leave" I said about storming off when I saw Elder Leo holding the newspaper.The look on his face meant there was trouble."If we could please all calm down!""Statistics reports are down by 15%""This is the first time it's happening"They kept arguing over one another while I sat there in silence, if I wanted to know how ruined I was I could have watched tv."You're not going to say anything?!" One of the Elders finally noticed I was in the room."You guys are doing a great job of handling the conversation" I said, smacking my lips."Do you think this is a joke?""This is important, Rex we need to talk," pointed out then six pairs of eyes looked in my direction."I'm glad you noticed my presence I'm so honored""Will you stop with.l the sarcasm!" one yelled then I rolled my eyes.Maybe I should have let Pedro board the train and he would have been arrested like the bank manager said. Now my action
Joan's POVI held onto the phone it heart swelling, I couldnt wait to get into his arms once more with a deep breath I laid on the bed hoping things will get better and I would finally get reunite with him.I woke up early not waiting for Joreme to call me in I stepped out of my room hearing downstairs when I heard Joreme talking to someone. I managed to make out words from their in distant chatter."It's risky barging in here this way" Joreme said."Well hope the risk is worth it for this, where's the girl" the feminine voice struck me familiar but I couldn't place who she was."I heard that in the news you did that?""With a little help" I crouched low trying to see the faces of the people he was talking with."Well you don't see this everyday let's go upstairs" Joreme said leading the people towards the staircase that's when I saw her face.It was my aunt!I hurried upstairs not wanting her to see me this could be my change to rat her for the lying traitor she was.I hurried into t
Joan's POVAs we stepped into his room, I tried to take in as much detail as possible. It was a very large room but neatly arranged, it didn't have much in place, a few shelves, a lot of books, paintings, and a safe."There she is"Joreme exclaimed.The wine was in a small cupboard, and Joreme retrieved it for me. But my attention was on the key. I needed that key."This is the last one if I knew you loved it so much I would have gotten more" he grinned at me.I took the wine, trying to act casual, while my mind raced with a plan. "Joreme your room is really nice much bigger than mine""Oh sweetheart, agree to be my Luna and the whole mansion is yours" he took my hand, placing a gentle kiss that did nothing but irritate me."How do you keep it so tidy?" I quickly said, stepping into the grand space looking for a good hiring spot to keep the most important document of a pack."The maids do so once every day, there are a lot of important things in this room I have to keep it neat at all
Joan's pov"You sure?" I questioned surprised."Yes in a safe in Joreme's study behind a painting, it's of a landscape should be a blend of blue and white colors, the code is 1987""Rex??" I questioned confused this was too specific."It's me Joan you don't need to worry, I and Joreme have a history I'm not sure if he still left it there or he has moved it but that's all the information I know"I starred at the phone a knot in my belly, it struck me odd Rex knew to his password why would Joreme trust him with that."I'll check it out" I responded pushing the thought at the bottom of my mind."You should be careful especially with Jane she has enough power to take Joreme to hell but she wants to take his pack it's strange"I pondered on his thoughts he was right but I knew better I won't just hand over the deed she would have to get me the evidence first."I will you too, you have a lot of enemies you don't know of in the pack" Once I sent that I left the private study hoping to get in
*Rex's POV*I stared at the other person who appeared to be a man. He noticed I was curious about who he was and finally spoke up. “you don't remember me do you” He asked. It didn't take too much of thinking to realize who he was. He was the one who attempted to kill me at the Bridge. “So this is the one that really owns the baby. He's quite pathetic for someone with a child ” I said to Gwen.Martin fumed up. “Who are you calling a pathetic person. Do you have a death wish?. Even if you don't, I am finally going to make sure I kill you properly This time” He said and brought out his gun Wich he aimed at me again. I sighed and shook my head in disappointment. “So you're going to take the cowardice way out again. You are really pathetic, no doubt about that” I said mockingly. Martin paused for a while pondering on what to say. Gwen noticed what was going on and tried to stop him. “What are you doing Martin. Shoot him now and end this finally ” She said. Martin took a deep breath and
*Beta Ryder's POV*I have gotten the answer I've been searching for. There was finally enough evidence I could use this to get Joan out of prison. “Why did you get your hands on such dirty deeds when you also had your own child” i asked Collins who didn't say anything in return. I sighed and brought out my phone to stop recording the conversation. “What is your own aim trying to help your old lover. You must be after something too” Collins suddenly asked. I was shocked to see he knows about I and Joan too. He must know me from somewhere.He smirked when he saw the look on my face. “ You're shocked I know about that. You must not really remember who I am..” he said and chuckled. I could now remember who he was. Gwen and I had visited him long ago when we were still working together. “I don't care what you have to say now. I finally have what I've been searching for. There's nothing else to worry about anymore” I said and turned to leave. Collins quickly stopped me. “Where is my da
*Gwen's POV*I had returned back home from the inn and was heading to my room to grab a few things. Everything seemed to be finally over now and Everyone that could get in my way was out of the picture. Rex's mother won't pose a threath anymore as she'll only shed endless tears on her son's death. I reached my doorstep to see the door was slightly left open. “Huh, did I forget to shut this before leaving..” I thought to myself. I ignored it and pushed the door open. The sight I saw next made move back in shock. Rex was standing and holding something that I hadn't identified yet. “what is. Going on, am I seeing a ghost or just hallucinating?” I asked myself. Rex turned to me and I could see despise on his face. It was now I realized what he was holding. He had unfortunately found the File which had the real DNA test results. “Rex..are you okay” I asked softly. He turned to me and still wasn't saying anything. My whole body was quivering in fear as he moved closer to me. He threw t
*Gwen's POV*I was in a inn with my secret lover, Martin. after taking an excuse that I had some things to sought out, I had left my bay with Rex's mother. We had fun and was relaxing on the bed. “will things go on like this forever. You And I deserve to be with each other officially ” Martin stated. I rose up and stared at him. I asked him what he means. “Rex Is clearly in our way. We need to get rid of him first and then I can claim my rightful place by your side” He stated. He was right, Rex wasn't even the real father of our baby and if I let things stay like that forever, he might find out someday. But I was scared. After everything I've done. I am scared to harm another person. “I don't know if it's a good idea. He isn't one to go down easily. I've heard of how he defeated Alpha Jerome with ease. He's too strong to defy” I stated. “Do not worry about that. I will personally take care of Rex myself. With your approval ” Martin stated. I saw it as a good opportunity to finall
*Eleanor's POV*Beta Ryder had suddenly showed up again but this time, He came with a child. It was a little girl and it made no sense she was here with him. He seemed pretty determined to find an evidence but now, he's with a child. I turned to the little girl to ask who she was. “ I'm Nia, This Mister abducted me..Those are the answers to the questions you wanted to ask aren't they?” She asked. I Petrified by her boldness and the fact she said she was abducted scared me more.“Why did you abduct a girl and decided to bring her here. Do you want to get me in more troubles again!?” I yelled angrily. Ryder was scared to see me angry. He tried calming me down saying everything was going to be okay. “I went to the address you gave me and it turns out The person that sold the cake to Gwen is her father. Left with no choice, I had to abduct her. He has agreed to meet and I'll return the girl once we get what we're searching for” He said. I Finally calmed down. A way to avenge my friend
*Collins's POV*My heart almost flew out through my mouth when I heard my little girl's voice on the phone. It dawned on me when I realized that she had been abducted. “What I this, what do you think you're doing. Why did you abduct my daughter you Psychopath!” i Yelled angrily. “You left me with no choice Collins. We'll meet and you'll tell me everything I want to know or else..you know what will happen. And do not bother trying to contact the police, you'll regret doing so” The man stated. I was so frustrated with the way he was been so commanding. “ I'll give you Two hours to return my daughter. If you don't, I'll unleash hell on your feeble soul” I yelled angrily. He had already ended the call and I was just talking to myself the whole time. I threw the phone away angrily. “What does he want. Who in the world is this lowlife daring to disturb my peace!” I said angrily. “was he here to find out something about one of the people I've once worked for!?” I asked myself. It was the
*Beta Ryder's POV*I left back for my inn. The paper given to me by the maid had the name of a shop written on it. I wasn't sure it would be easy finding the shop but was sure I will after asking around. The shop was located a little far from the main town. I set out the next morning to find the shop. After driving to the address on the paper, I Reached there and the shop was no longer there. I already expected that too. That was why I knew this was going to be hardInstead of a cake shop, there was a different type of shop now. It was now a pawn shop. I decided to walk into the shop and ask the owner some few questions. Entering the shop, the first room was empty but there was another door. I walked to it and knocked. Footsteps approached the door and it finally swung open. “Come in. a man, that looked much older than me said ” I took a deep breath and walked in.He offered me a seat and I sat down. “So, how much are you loaning ” He asked as he brought out some papers for me to fi
Over 9 months had passed and Beta Ryder was still yet to find a way to get Joan out. He visited her frequently to make her feel reassured. *Beta Ryder's POV*It's been so long since I infiltrated Rex's house. I was never able to meet the maid again. She told me there was a way to find a tangible evidence but I couldn't get it from her before the guards drove me away. The security at his house was thightened after that time and it was almost impossible to get In. But still, I found my way In without been noticed. I came in as a delivery man and thankfully, they fell for it. I searched around for the maid but no one realized who I was talking about. After a long search, I asked one of the staffs about the night the house was infiltrated by a man and she told me the maid was fired that same night. For months, I have been waiting for a Moment to meet someone who wasn't where I thought they were!. I asked if she knows her whereabouts but she told me she doesn't know much anymore. I wa
