Chapter 6

I woke up extra early today because there was alot to do at work.

Hiring and signing new models, photoshoots for Vogue magazine which came in yesterday.

Many calls from new clients over seas and my new shop opening in France and Italy.

Marcus was right,this was our biggest breakthrough and we needed to work hard to keep this going. 

Collen just started shooting a new blockbuster movie and thank God my designs were ready to be used.

I took a shower and dressed in green summer dress and flats. 

We are in the middle of spring and the weather is a little bit chilly.

I looked at the cloud from the glass walls and they looked dark and foggy, signaling it might rain at any moment from now.

I stepped in to the kitchen to see Marcus already up sorting out some files and papers.

"Good morning prince charming"I kissed his cheeks and picked up my coffee.

"Morning princess. How was your sleep"he asks

"The usual"I shrug and he sighs

He knows I didn't sleep a wink because of my nightmares.

He about to say something when the door bell rang.

"Are you expecting anyone?"I asked

"Nope. You"he's says and I shook my head.

"Wait here I'll check it out"he says and stands up.

This place is the safest place ever,no one can trespass without alerting the security.

I stood by the table looking through Marcus's files when a very familiar scent fills my nostrils.

Honey and wet sand.

I looked at out and the lightening begun to strike but there was no rain yet.

Okay, maybe I am just imagining it.

"Honey, can you came here for a second"Marcus calls out,the only reason he calls me is when there is a stranger here.

I placed the files down and walk over to him.

I stopped in my tracks when the scent got stronger,and with my reflexes I was Infront of Marcus within no time.

I wasn't imagining it. My brother was here. He is standing Infront of me with relief and worry.

"Crystalise"he whispers as if he couldn't believe I was here.

"What are you doing here Kaden? How did you find me?"I hiss angrily

"Is that what you are asking me after all these years. Do you know how much we have tried looking for you but there was no avail"he asks.

My brother looks older,with his long hair tied in bun.

He is even bigger than I expected.

"I didn't ask you to search for me Kaden. How the heck did you find me"I hiss

"You not really hiding anymore Crys. You are now a public figure. Word spread around very quickly"he says and his eyes moved behind me.

"And who is this? He is in most pictures with you"he asks curiously

"I am her husband"Marcus says pulls me closer to his chest.

I gave him a small smile and looked back at my brother who has a shocked face.

His eyes moved to my ring finger and his face again morphs into confusion when he didn't see a ring over there.

"Wife huh? Does he know who you are?"Kaden smirks,he eyes begun glow.

"Back away wolf boy,no one need to show me your wolf"Marcus smirks and Kaden steps back in surprise.

"Ofcourse he knows,he is my husband after all."I rested my head against his chest.

"What are you doing here Kaden?"I asked after a while.

He sighs and gives me a sad smile,

"The Alpha wants you back home"he says

"Tell him I said no. I am no longer apart of his pack"

"That is not the reason I am here. Papa isn't well,he is sick Crys and we are afraid we might lose him. He requests your presence"he says and my heart breaks.

My papa is sick?

"What...what is wrong with him?"I asked

"We don't..we don't know"he says

"What about mama? How is she?"I asked

"Mama has become a zombie. Alot of things has happened since you left Crystalise."

"What about Crystal?"I finally asked about her.

He looks broken at the mere mention of her name.

"She is...she is dead Crystalise. She died in a car accident with her son. They died on the spot. Nothing has ever been the same since then. That is why you need to come back Crystalise"he says with pleading eyes.

I looked at him for a while,

"I..I need to think about it"I say in a small voice.

"Think about what Crystalise. Papa is dying and mama needs you now more than ever. You been selfish long enough, don't you think?"he says and my insides boils.

"You don't know what you are talk about Kaden.You have no idea what I have been through"I hiss angrily

"Oh tell me what you've been through because right now I don't see it"he says back and I almost claw his eyes out.

I had to remind Ria that he is our brother.

"Get out! Get out Now!"I say in a low dangerous voice.

"Please Crystalise,come with me before anything else happens"he says which made me look at him in confusion.

No. I won't fall for his tricks.

"I won't say it again. Leave!"

"You heard my wife, leave before I call security and they will arrest you. Believe me,this human world is nothing like the wolf world"Marcus says angrily.

"Okay fine,I am leaving,not because of what you but because I did my best to convince you. Don't say I didn't warn you"he says carefully staring into my and before I know it he is gone.

How dare they, after so many years,he has the audacity to come to my home.

But papa isn't well. I love my papa no matter what.

"No, Don't even think about going back to that place because I won't let you!"Marcus says 

"But...But my Papa.. my papa isn't well. He needs me"I cry into his chest.

"Don't worry we'll figure something out. But I won't allow you leave. Not ever"he says protectively

"Okay but we need to double up the security. My brother was here and I know many more will come. Especially him" I say referring to my monster,my nightmare.

"No one is going to hurt you,as long as I am here"Marcus says and I hugged him.

But I know...I know this isn't the end.
