You wouldn't want to do anything stupid.” The three of us were out, Luciana had her hold on the woman who still had her grip on the detonator.“Why did you come here, mom? How did you even find out about this place? When did you even arrive the city?”“I have my ways, Jax and I came here for you. I heard everything. I won’t let them take your throne away.”“But you risked your life!” Jax seemed confused in that moment.I looked around and couldn't find Seth.“Where’s Seth? Is he no longer on your side?”He glowered and growled. “Why don’t you go ask his dead body lying alongside others in that building!”I observed Luciana’s face, her expression was blank. Well, I had thought she would be sad by the news at least, she’d known him from years back.“So you’ve not had enough of us, huh? You came back for more?” I eyed his frail state. He was severely injured and was just holding on for dear life.He was just as stupid as his mother. Though they had wasted
Lucy“Hi. You said you wanted to see us.” I could not help stiffening my tone the moment we entered the living room and I spotted the woman who appeared to be in her late forties to early fifties.But I could see where Alpha Jax had gotten his features from. One glance and you would know she was not lying about being his mother.“Yes. Oh Mother of the Moon!” She exclaimed in shock seeing Luciana beside me. “Who’s Lucielle and who’s Luciana?”“I’m Lucy, not Lucielle and she’s Luciana.” I clarified.“No, Lucy’s for short. Your name is Lucielle. Your parents named you after your twin grandmothers, from your maternal side.” Her face fell as she said this.Luciana and I looked at each other, then at Armando before finally settling on the woman again. She was richly dressed but her emotions were on display. It made me wonder.“You seem to know a lot about us than we know of ourselves.” Luciana chipped in, she had pulled me to seat with her.Armando took the seat beside me. “What would you l
Lucy“How are you, Teck?” I carried the tray containing his breakfast to him. I had offered and lifted it out of the maid’s hands that had been bringing him his food.He was awake and seating but with lots of pillows propping his sides. He offered me a pallid smile. “Fine, thank you.”I dropped the tray before him. “Here’s breakfast.”“You made it yourself?” He asked, a bit surprised.I quirked a brow. “You think I can’t whip up a meal?”He chuckled lightly. “I didn’t say that. Thank you.”“How are you healing? How’s the ribs?” I asked, helping him stay stable so he could eat.“It still hurts.” He said.I sat back down on the bed. “I’m sorry Armando and I didn’t listen to you. You would not be in this situation if we had carried you along.”He shook his head. "It's okay. On the bright side, you met your sister.”“Yes, I did. You know, she said she agreed to kidnap you because she wanted to meet me.” I told him.During our conversation yesterday, she had confessed the reason she had ag
“After I was adopted, things were fine until two years later when they finally had their own child. They changed. I was sixteen and depressed. They treated me more like a maid or nanny, sometimes both. I didn’t complain about the nanny part because I loved the baby.”She drew a breath in. We were currently in the living room, we just finished dinner. It was time for some truth telling.“I had always been this strong, I realized. So one day, I returned home from school. As usual, the wife left the baby with me and went out. The house was left in disarray as it usually was, I cleaned and cooked my lunch. By the time I was done, I was tired. I fed the baby too.”“How cruel can some people be?” I could not believe this. Why bother go for a child if you didn’t want them?She shrugged. “I don’t know. So I fell asleep doing my assignment. Next thing, I was being woken up and accused of trying to kill their baby. I had no idea he was choking on his vomit.”“They accused you?”She looked at me
When the vehicle finally drove into the hotel, I was exhausted enough to fall asleep while also still incensed enough to punch someone to death.Luciana and I stepped out of the vehicle. I had a cut around my neck and waist, Luciana came out just fine.We had decided not to say anything until Armando was present. This whole saga was no longer just about me but him too.“Is it wise to return to the hotel where the guy was kidnapped?” Luciana asked.The guy that had driven us was one of Armando’s men.“Yes, boss.” He stepped out of the car. “Oh okay boss.” He put his phone back into his pocket. “Boss says he’s gone back home and I should bring you there. He said not to worry that he already cleared both rooms and lodged you out.”“That’s better.” Luciana climbed back into the backseat.I went back to the passenger seat and strapped in. The drive back to Armando’s home was quiet. I occasionally threw a glance at the back, I could still not believe I had a sister. A family.It was all so
“What the hell are you playing at, Jax?” Armando was not just angry, he was furious.I closed my mouth.“Hello sister.” She smiled.I did not need a soothsayer to get the story. “So you killed Zara.”“Smart, I like.” She beamed as though this was a party where everyone was mingling and telling their comical life stories.“I already know your friendship with Zara. What kind of friend kills their best friend?”“I needed the money. The Alpha was ready to pay, so what’s the big deal?”“I am so glad I never got to know you. You’re evil! You had a family!”“And you know that because?” She took steps towards me. She had the same brown tresses as I did. We were same height and I could guess we would fit in the same clothes.“Because I did a background check on you three.” I cast a glance Seth’s way.I turned to Alpha Jax. “How many other missions did you send her while you deceived me into going? Why did you even asked me to in the first place? You could have asked her to go without putting m
Lucy“Well. Well. Well.” The cocks of guns had me turning.Fuck! We were surrounded. I wanted to shift my feet but accidentally stepped on something. Feeling alarmed, I looked down. Apprehension got hold. As if things could not get worse.My instincts were right. The bastard had set a bullet trap for us. It was just like a mine trap. If I tried to let go, there was already a weapon attached to it somewhere, it would go off and hit its intended target which I guessed in this would be Armando.“Seems you found us, huh?” Alpha Jax appeared from round a corner of the building. “He must truly be very smart.” He had Teck in his grip.The kid was bleeding’ He had been beaten. He was alive but barely.“How dare you?!” Armando was about to rush forward.“One more step and Lucy will kill him.” He warned, pointing his gun at Armando.If I had known this mission would turn out like this, Armando would have come with his men. All that had brought us here was to get answers.“What do you mean by ki
Lucy“That guy is one of Alpha Jax’s men, they must be close.” I wore my clothes — without undies of course — my gaze still stationed on the dead gray wolf that had slowly morphed into a very naked guy I recognized.Armando wore his. “Do you recognize this one too?”As expected, Armando had also killed his own black opponent wolf. I peered at the face of the dead guy. “I don’t recognize him but he must be. This means they had seen us. We need to be on alert and tread with caution moving forward.”“Exactly. Let’s hurry, Teck’s life is on balance especially now they are aware of our presence here.” He secured his gun by his waist belt.I had my lace tied and followed him. My weapons and gun intact, even the watch too.“Good job, Laia.” I opened the telepathic link to extend gratitude to my wolf.“It’s nothing. It’s my chance, I took it. You do all the fighting.” She sounded proud of herself.I smiled inwardly. “You were so strong. I watched you from your head, it was thrilling.”“Right?
LucyIt was a relief to know they were still in the city. It kind of narrowed down our search. I had almost thought they might be on their way to my city.“But how do you know it’s not Jax and his men?” He asked me.We still stood outside, staring at the stepped-on flowers.“He’s responsible, no doubt. But see the window.” I moved back, taking him with me to point Teck’s open window. “Jax and his men can not fit in there. It’s a small window, even you can not fit in there.”“So he hired someone else?”“Remember when Tasha said she overhead him telling someone to contact someone else.”“Yes?” He stared at me expectantly.“What if he hired someone new to carry out this job? I am usually the person he sends but…you know, this issue came up and he got someone else.” It was a guess on my part but I was a bit certain. It could be a possibility.“But we don’t even know where they are. That bastard could be putting the kid through torture. I wish I know where they are. Where they have him. Te
LucyRING RING!!!!!!!!!!My peaceful slumber was abruptly interrupted by the loud ringing of my phone, jolting me awake from a deep sleep. Groaning softly, I fumbled blindly around the bed, my hand searching for the source of the disturbance. But instead of the familiar cold touch of my cell phone, my palm collided with something warm and solid, sending a jolt of alarm coursing through my veins.Blinking blearily, my sleepy gaze focused on the unfamiliar face that loomed before me, watching me sleep. My heart leaped in my chest as I registered the presence of a stranger in my bed. As I studied his features, I noticed his chiseled jawline, tousled dark hair cascading gently over his forehead, and the faint hint of a dimple when he breathed softly . Despite my initial shock, I couldn't deny that he was quite handsome."Who are you?" I demanded, my voice edged with a hint of steel as I reached for the pistol concealed beneath my pillows. "And what the hell are you doing in my bed?" I add...
