Marcel’s P.O.V

I rushed into the conference room with a team of bodyguards, dressed in sharp suits and earpieces. I spotted Elodie who used her hands to shield her eyes from the flashing lights that assaulted her orbs.

The reporters closed in on her, thrusting their cameras into her face and how she never came with any security appalled me.

The bodyguards rushed towards her, creating a barrier around her and at that moment, I found my way through that barrier as gasps echoed through the entire room as soon as everyone recognized me.

The reporters yelled out their questions to me but I ignored every one of them, slipping my hands around Elodie’s waist. She gasped and I gave her a small smile as the bodyguards formed a circle around us.

When we made our way to the exit, the heavy doors of the conference room shut behind us, and like that, we made our way to the secret parking lot in that building.

As soon as we got to the parking lot, Elodie almost crumbled to the ground as she pla

    Elodie’s P.O.VI could have sworn that I saw Susan right now!Was I hallucinating because the moment that I checked again, it seemed more like she had vanished into the thin air? I glanced at Alexander who seemed engrossed with whatever he was doing on the iPad and seeing how busy he was, he couldn’t have noticed her.Maybe, everything that happened with me for the past few days was the reason why I was now starting to see things. Shoving the thoughts aside, a small smile played on my lips on unwrapping the wrapped note that I had taken from the jar before I left for work. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped instantly. “A trip to Hawaii for vacation”“Woah!”Alexander, who seemed to have been distracted by my exclamation, turned to look at me. “Is there any problem, ma’am?”I shook my head negatively, tucking the strand of hair that fell on my face to the back of my ear as butterflies fluttered in my stomach. Removing my phone from my purse, I took a picture of the note and sent it t

    Marcel’s P.O.VWith my hands folded behind my back, I stood at the window, gazing at the cityscape below, tilting my head to the left and I was starting to hate the fact that Darius lived rent-free in my head. It was more like he was intentionally doing all of this to annoy me because if he didn’t plan on stepping on my nerves, then why did he approach Elodie at the mall? Why did he put on that show? To worsen things, he seemed to have been doing things on his own lately or maybe he wasn’t just involving Ezra in some of his plans. From what I confirmed, the woman from the orphanage left the country already so how did she suddenly appear at the mall?Ezra also mentioned that Darius didn’t tell him anything like bringing the woman back to defend him. It seemed more like Darius was getting closer to Finn instead. I was just fed up with Darius’s constant antics and the only thing that I wanted was peace for Elodie and me. But the way he stared at her bothered me, the way he was consta

    Darius’s P.O.V Awkward laughter escaped my lips as he clinked glasses with me and amidst trying to hide my discomfort, I gulped down the wine hastily and for some weird reason, his name kept resounding in my head ‘Diego Sanchez!’ I cleared my throat, running my hands through my hair. “So what you are trying to say is that your niece is engaged to Diego Sanchez……” My stomach tied in knots as different thoughts coursed through my mind. How in the world do I tell him that his niece’s fiance was dead and I didn’t inform the council concerning the attack that led to his death because I was trying to protect my integrity and keep up my tracks of good records? A forced smile spread on my face and I sucked in a deep breath, trying to steady the thoughts that raced through my mind. “Elder Theodore, you have nothing to worry about. As soon as I go back to the pack house, I will ensure that he reaches her as fast as possible and…” I had hardly completed my words when the tiny voice of a wom

The more I stared at the picture, the more I was filled with doubts and confusion because no matter how much I tried to wrap my head around things, it didn’t make any sense to me.If that woman in the picture was Susan, then why was she doing all of this?Why did she target my family and me? She came into my life as a friend and turned out to be my greatest enemy in the end! Why did she approach me and what does she want from my family? I was soon jolted out of my thoughts when a knock landed on the door and the door swung open as Alexander poked his head inside, holding a bouquet. My brows furrowed in confusion as my eyes piqued with curiosity. “What is going on?”A small smile played on his lips and he responded. “Mr. Marcel had sent this for you…….” His words trailed, showing me a small box filled with cupcakes. Marcel was still on a business trip and despite

    Marcel’s P.O.VDressed in a perfectly tailored black tuxedo, Elodie stood next to me, darting her eyes to me as her eyes brightened and I returned her smile. “Shall we?” I watched as she bobbed her hand, slipping her hand into the crook of my arm, and she smiled placidly. “Yes, let us do this” Hands in hands, we approached the grand doors that opened as soon as we got to it. As soon as we stepped foot in the magnificent hall where the fundraising event would be taking place, silence enveloped the entire room and the only sound that followed was the applause that rocked through the entire area as everyone got on their feet—Everyone except for that hazel-eyed bastard who stared at me with contempt. Darius. He rolled his eyes before he turned and fixed his gaze on the podium and that was when I noticed that the members of the councils sat at the table reserved for Darius.

The sound of the door-knob being twisted filled my ears and the gentle knock from Ezra for me to open the door echoed through the entire room. It has been two weeks since that chaotic fund-raising event and since then, my life has spiraled from bad to worse. The council members were disappointed in me and Sophia left the pack. Even though those who were around me didn’t voice their opinions, I could see the glint of doubt in their eyes. The Council members were still discussing what to do with me. However, amidst all the commotion going on in my life, I knew that my position was at stake. I lost my family, I hadn’t seen my daughter for months and now, I was on the brink of losing my position as the Alpha to Ezra. I lit up another cigarette, a thought creeping through the back of my mind. “There is someone in this pack that is relaying secret informatio

Ummmm…….Robert Martinez” She snapped and at that moment, my heart froze and time slowed down. My hands fell helplessly by my side as her words echoed through my mind and my heart that froze shattered into innumerable pieces. That was my father’s name. Does that make Susan and I half-sisters? What in the actual fuck was going on? Was this a prank or something? If it were a prank, then where were the cameras? All of a sudden, I burst into a peal of hysterical laughter, slipping the hair that fell on my face to the back. “This is funny. It seems more like Robert Martinez is a pretty common name and sometimes, people have look-alikes”She stared at me dead in the eye, leaning forward. “I am talking about the Chairman of the Martinez group of companies and I don’t know what you are talking about— ” She paused, pointing to his picture. “— but this despicable man is S

    Elodie’s P.O.VMiles away from the resort, Marcel’s villa stood in the heart of the island as the tropical scent of hibiscus and plumeria filled the air. We had just stepped off the helicopter because as soon as we landed here, Marcel was excited to give me a quick aerial tour of the island. While he reprimanded Alvaro over some mistakes, I swiveled my gaze around the surroundings. It was evening. The golden lights that emanated from the house were cast onto the ground and the huge villa was surrounded by coconut trees. Potted plants were arranged around the terrace, their vibrant colors adding to the ambiance. Leaving Marcel behind, I wandered around the house, running my hands over the artworks but all of a sudden, my heart almost jumped out of my chest when a woman’s voice filled my ears. “Did I scare you?” She stepped forward, placing a lei necklace over my neck while handing me a coconut drink. “Who are you?”The old woman grinned. “Call me Khloe, I am the housekeeper and we

    Epilogue **After One Year** The setting sun cast a golden glow over the ethereal surroundings as the sound of waves crashing in the distance echoed through my ears. My heart pounded against my chest in anxiety despite the excitement that bubbled deep within me. The air hung heavy with anticipation and on exchanging fleeting glances with the triplets who keep taking pictures of me with their cameras, I shot a wink at them. Silas gesticulated before he mouthed. “Daddy, don't overdo the smile. Smile, like this” I did just as he had said while the guests laughed at the silent conversation between Silas and me. I gave Silas a thumbs-up while Silver gave a gentle applause that was almost inaudible. Sage on the other hand sat next to Aunt Nadia, Leah, and Axel who carried both Elysia and Daisy in his arms while Sage made funny faces to them. Staring at the scene before me, I fiddled with my fingers in anticipation, carefully waiting for my bride. “She is here” Someone murmu

    Elodie’s P.O.VThe clouds darkened, thunder rumbling through the sky while I stood rooted to the same spot frozen. The rain first started like a gentle patter but in the next minute, the rain enveloped me totally, soaking my clothes as my hair clung to my face. I was too numb to speak. Too shocked to even wrap my head around what had happened. I could barely move my legs but I mustered the courage and dragged my feet towards the railings, staring down at Darius's lifeless body. His blood that soaked the metal spikes was being washed away by the rain that fell heavily. I should be relieved that he was dead…But the more I stared at his lifeless body, the more dread settled at the pit of my stomach and I saw myself on the metal spikes. My breath came in ragged gasps as I gripped the railings and that was when the images of Ezra spurting out blood flashed through my mind. My shoulders sagged and the more I gripped the railings, the more different emotions crashed over me. I crumbled

    Elodie’s P.O.VOh my. The necklace looked pretty on me. I trailed my fingers on the necklace and stared at my reflection in the mirror, that was when the reality hit me that Silver wasn’t back with my phone yet. He didn’t know where he dropped his phone tablet and pleaded with me to give him my phone so he could call his dad. “Could he be playing games on my phone?” I muttered to myself, standing up and that was when it dawned on me that even my hair stylist wasn’t back yet. I glanced at her empty cup of juice and darted my eyes back to mine which was still untouched. “What could she be taking downstairs?” I muttered to myself, opening the door to the room, and stepping out while calling for Silver’s name. But the only response I got was his name which returned as echoes in my ears. Something was wrong.What was going on? Walking down the hallway, relief flooded through me when I saw Aunt Nadia sleeping on the couch next to the vase of flowers. “Aunt Nadia, you should go into

Tulips, daisies, and peonies decorated every corner while I stood amidst it all, staring around like a proud dad. I had canceled all my schedule just to participate in the decoration after inviting a team of event planners from Thailand. As a smile formed on my face, the only thought that coursed through my mind was how Elodie was going to love this.I could already picture the look that was going to be on her face when she stepped into the garden later in the evening. All of a sudden, I was jolted out of my thoughts when a maid stood before me and on getting my attention, she lowered her head. “Sir, the popular cake corner called concerning how the delivery was going to be late.

    Marcel’s P.O.VIn the doctor’s office, Elodie stared into space, before heaving a sigh while her hands were clasped tightly in mine. A small smile played on my face, amused with the way a strand fell on her face. I was about to remove my hands from her’s in a bid to brush off the strand when she turned to look at me, a glint of worry in her eyes and distress written on her face. She has been like this lately. It worsened since the night she accepted my marriage proposal and the annoying thing was she didn't want to see a doctor and instead stuck to paranoia. I was soon jolted out of my thoughts when she muttered. “Marcel, what if it is a stomach infection or cancer?”Heaving an exasperated sigh, I shook my head. “That is why we are here. I told you that it isn't any of this”Her voice shook. “It is not like you are a doctor. Plus I have never felt this way before and I have been seeing symptoms that relate to stomach cancer and stomach infection”“We should have seen the pack docto

Darius was a monster. A monster that I never wanted to lay eyes on for the rest of my life. Marcel assured me that he was going to find Darius and finish him off as fast as possible. It has been two months since Susan died and still, that grotesque image of her in the creek kept lingering in my mind. I was so traumatized that the only one who helped me was Marcel and right now, I was pissed at him. Recently, I have been having crazy mood swings that really scared Marcel off at times and right now I was boiling because I had planned a movie night with him just for him to bail out on me at the last minute. My gaze lingered on his message telling me that he wasn't going to be coming because something important suddenly came up. Like I wasn't impor

    Elodie’s P.O.V Taking my gaze off the ornate glass chandeliers, adorned with delicate crystal pieces that hung from the intricately designed ceiling, I paused beside Marcel. He glanced at me briefly before turning swiftly, his eyes softening and lighting up as if he had just seen an irreplaceable treasure.Staring into the ethereal green of my eyes, Marcel wrapped his fingers around my waist drawing me closer to him as he buried his face at the side of my neck, nibbling in a way that sent shivers down my spine. It was like he was basking in my scent. He was warm. My haven and my peace. I loved him. A lot. His lips grazed my skin, sending sparks of fire in its wake. “You are like a delicate flower that I want to keep, adorn, cherish, and nurture forever, ensuring you bloom endlessly. To the very end”“You are so beautiful, I feel like I want to end the party, take your clothes off, and show you how much you mean to me”My hand rested on his shoulders, while I muttered under my bre

    Darius’s P.O.VMy lips trembled as a searing pain racked through my body while I hung limply from the chains that bound my wrists to the walls, my upper body exposed and covered with cuts which blood dripped from. Another lash landed on my back and a groan left my lips, my vision blurred with a red haze as I gritted my teeth. “Stop!” A husky voice echoed off the walls of Layzal’s dungeon as the whip made a soft thud as it was dropped against the ground. As soon as the doors to the dungeon closed, hot tears streamed down my face and a bitter laughter spiraled from me. It has been two weeks since Marcel eliminated all the council members who were responsible for everything that happened to his family. He had chosen new members of the council, and taken over my pack with my idiotic park members in support of that tyrant. Marcel changed the name of the pack to the moonstone pack. He probably named it after my late son. That bastard!I was soon jolted out of my thoughts when a dark au

Staring at the ceiling which a candle chandelier hung while the grotesque image of the nightmare clung to the back of my mind like a dark stubborn shadow that seemed more like it was soon going to close in on me.I sat up slowly, leaning against the headboard while staring into space as memories of the nightmare flashed through my mind. My breath came in short, shallow gasps as I ran my hands through my hair frustratedly. I had seen myself falling off a cliff and I was in my pool of blood. Could it be the lingering fear of Layzal doing something to me that made me have this horrible nightmare? It had to be it. There was no way that I was going to die! I would never allow that. I will do everything to stay alive and get my children back from Marcel. “I won't die! Not now…not now” I muttered to myself while placing a hand on my chest that heaved slowly, sliding off the bed, as I walked to the bathroo
