The party went on for about fifteen minutes, and people were having the time of their lives. However, Selena has been keeping her sights on the mother and daughter for some time now.
Selena knew Mila was up to no good and that her aunt had some awful deeds up her sleeves. Knowing how crafty her aunt was, she focused her entire attention on Mila. As Selena watched from afar and tried not to get caught staring, she could monitor her aunt’s every movement.
Therefore, when Mila vanished from the party after getting a call, Selena was right behind her. She did not ignore her father’s teachings about being a great spy. Instead, Selena used Liam’s every word and lesson as she tracked her aunt down a bright hallway and into a shabby underground hideout in a building that Selena never knew existed.
Selena stood from a safe distance that seemed safe enough for her scent not to get detected, but also close enough for her to s
Selena's hand rested on the door's knob, and she turned it. The door opens, and she pops her head inside. Her eyes caught the back of a very tall and built guy. "Hey, is everything okay?" Selena asked when she entered the room and shut the door. She stood stiff as she puzzled over why the guy was standing still and staring at a blank wall. With her vision focused on him, Selena approached him and tapped his shoulder. "Hi, did that waiter do something to you?" The man turned around with blood-red eyes and a sly smile. Selena took a step back as he took two steps forward. "I think I entered the wrong room. I am sorry, sir. I am going to leave now." She said in a shaky tone. Selena turned to walk away when she felt two bold hands on the back of her neck. His hands got tighter and tighter by the sec
Room 1001 was still, but the tension within the atmosphere was active. Gabriel kept gazing at Selena like a mad man. He had not said a word for some time after recognizing her. “Do you know me?” Selena asked with confusion. Although she already had an idea of who he was after he had called his name, Selena still wanted to know why he locked her up in his prison and almost killed her. “You love death, don't you? You murdered my twelve best guards, stole my car, and. Wait! Is that my mother's dress on you?” Gabriel asked in rage. Selena looked at his burning eyes, and she stared down at the dress, then she gazed back at him with an innocent expression. But Gabriel looked angrier than before. “I don't think so. There are thousands of dresses like this one. Every snowflake gown out there does not belong to your mother. And I have never met you before, how then can I kill yo
The silence was the only thing Gabriel felt as he stood in the room. He could not hear any sound since there was a total stillness in the hall. If a pin could get dropped the sound would echo like a festival drum. However, the quietness in the room was not an issue for Gabriel. Instead, it was the frozen people that dazed him and freaked him out. "What the hell happened here?" He mumbles. Gabriel touched the face of a young gentleman. He then drew his hand back after realizing that the guy's body was still warm. Everyone was completely motionless, and their eyes got stuck in one direction. There was absolutely no movement or sound in the hall, except for Gabriel. "Omega, who the hell are you? You don't seem to stop bewildering me. Well, I must say you got my attention now." Gabriel stated. He walked past all the stiff party guests and out the door
The dusty evening cloud was not dark enough to shield the police car light from designing the alley blue and red. Gabriel's hands were not in the air yet, and the police officers were not planning on lowering their guns. "Sir, please give the friendly officers the girl and come with them. I am sure your sentence will be lesser." One of the ladies said. Gabriel foxily smiled at her, and she noticed that his eye color was becoming brighter. "Officer, should his eye color be doing that?" The lady asked in fear. "Two foolish betas thought it was their responsibility to poke in an alpha business. Where are your manners when you see a being greater than you? How about you guys knee for your arrogance." Gabriel declared. Once his words were out in the open air, it took no time for the two ladies to place their knees on the cold and rough ground. These wo
"Breaking news, the weirdest thing happened downtown, where the 'stalwart celebration' took place. Fifteen officers opened fire on their vehicles. Yep, you heard it right. They shot their cars in flames. But this is not the strangest part of this situation. None of the policemen knew what happened or what they were doing before the shooting began." "Yes, Mary. That's correct. The police officers were not the only ones involved in the situation. Two ladies have to seek treatment from the medic because of bruises on their knees. They told our news crew that they could not remember why they were kneeling." "John, that is frightening and odd. On the other hand, influential historians are trying to make sense of what had happened. They believe this could be the work of Ace, one of the most powerful Alphas that existed among our kind. Their concept could be accurate since Ace's scent got discovered at the scene of the crime. Plus, Ace was the
The mansion was busy with whispers from within the hall. Every employee had something to say to the next person. However, once they heard footsteps coming down the stairs, their bottom and top lips got sealed together. Everyone seems to have forgotten how to speak.Their eyes remain glued to the stairs, waiting anxiously to see who would walk down."The boss said he's going to be down in a moment," Bob announced."Oooooooh!" was echoing in the hall when the workers noticed that it was the butler and not their young master.However, the noise seemed to slowly die down until the last person found out that Gabriel was three steps behind Bob."I'm here, and I will take it from here," Gabriel announces.Bob did not hesitate to hurry down the stairs and join with the other employees."All of you here are no strangers to me. You guys serve
The next morning Selena opened her eyes from the brightness of the morning light. She sits up from the cold floor and gazes at Gabriel's bed.“He's not in here. I wonder where that devil could be. Ah, what should I care? It is none of my business if he is dead or alive.” Selena mumbles.Sleeping on a cold tile was not to her comfort, and her grumbling stomach was not helping.The door opened, and Gabriel came inside the room with a tray full of every delicious breakfast treat Selena could think of in her mind.'Waffles, pancakes, strawberries, PB and Jam, whole wheat toast with cheese, milk, and freshly squeezed fruit juices.' Selena thought with thirst in her eyes.Her mouth watered when Gabriel set the tray on the floor before her, and Selena could not wait to have a bite since her stomach had started making loud rumbling noises.“Oh! You
Gabriel lay in a leather chair in his study room. He had his hands crossed over his chest, and his feet hanging from the edge of the couch."Sir, it has been two days now, and the omega had not eaten anything. If this continues, she is going to die of starvation." Bob said from the doorway.
The first golden light of dawn sneaked into Gabriel’s room as the tender breeze lazily blew against his curtains.He then gently rubbed his eyes before slowly opening them, and for about five minutes, he didn't blink with his sight focused on the ceiling.“Knock,” Bob's voice echoed into the room.The calm beat of his heart as he laid still kept replaying in Gabriel's ears along with the whispers of nature and the disturbances within the walls of the villa.“Sir, the ceremony will begin in less than thirty minutes.” Bob anxiously said as he impatiently waited outside his young master’s room door with his sight glued to his watch.In annoyance, Gabriel threw the blanket off him and sat up in bed. Then he gently rested his feet onto the cold floor before standing up.The sunlight then beamed against the multiple scars on his bare upper body as he walked past the window and headed into the bathroom.Finally, after waiting for what felt l
Gabriel's eyes seemed to be getting more violent as he approached the entrance of the house, and when he was finally a few distances away from the door, Gabriel spat on the ground in disgust when he smelled Dakar’s scent.Anger then curled hot and unstoppable in his gut like a blazing inferno that wanted to burn him from the inside out when Gabriel sensed Selena inside the building.Every emotion he felt from her caused his muscles to grow tense and his vein to bulge on his head. His pulse sped up and he was breathing shallow as he felt his blood boiling in his vein.Gabriel then tried to get a hold of himself before going in. But the rage he felt had already devoured him and his inner alpha had him under its full control.At that instant, the door opened, and the moment Gabriel saw the smirk on Dakar's face as he stood at the doorway, Gabriel grabbed him by the neck and ran him into the house and towards the wall. Then he smashed him into the concr
Gabriel kept staring at his phone and it was bothering Guss who was behind the steering wheel because he had been doing that since they met a while ago. He knew that something about his boss's attitude was off, and the fact Gabriel was distracted made Guss quite worried since he knew that Dakar was not a normal creature, and if his young master was about to fight him, then he needed to be a hundred percent focused. “Stop the car!” Gabriel shouted with intense fear in his eyes. “What is it, boss?” Guss asked in confusion. “Turn the car around!” “What?” “Turn the damn car around now!” From the force in Gabriel's voice, Guss knew not to ask any questions. So he made a turn and then gazed at his young master. “Selena is not heading to the villa,” Gabriel mumbled while struggling not to think about the worst that could happen to his wife. “How do you know?” Guss asked in dismay. “There's a GPS track
Liam gazed at the two officers standing in his office with a hostile expression on his face.“Why are the both of you here?” He asked.“Mr. Adler, it is about your sister.” An officer replied.“What about Mila.”“She's dead.”Liam's eyes seemed a bit colder as he intensely gazed at the two officers.“We know this is not pleasant news, and we are sorry for your loss.” The other officer stated.“How did this happen?” Liam calmly asked.“Well, the maintenance guy that committed suicide DNA matched that of your sister. We don't have the full details about how it happened. But since this company belongs to you, we are here to ask for the footage from the CCTV cameras of that day.”Liam kept calm and silent as he gazed directly at both of the officers.“Thank you for this information. But I wouldn't be releasing a
Selena looked away from the papers on the table, then she gazed at Gabriel entering the room.“Where did you go this morning? I woke up and your side of the bed was empty.” Selena mumbled.Gabriel closed the door and approached her. Then he drew a chair closer towards Selena and sat down.“I went to get this,” Gabriel said with a bright smile on his face.He took out a box from in his pocket and rested it on the table.“What’s that?” Selena asked.“Give me your hand,” Gabriel said as he smiled at his wife.Selena giggled as she placed her hand in her husband's palm.Gabriel then opened the box, took out a simple diamond ring, and slipped it on Selena's ring finger.“I got up this morning and noticed that your hands didn't have a wedding band on it. That didn't feel right to me, so I went out and got one.” Gabriel said.
The light in the medical room shone upon Selena's face as she blinked her eyelids. Then after a minute or two, she finally opened her eyes and her sight immediately landed on Gabriel angrily staring down at her.“What happened?” Selena mumbled.“Did the fact that you almost fall to your death mess with your memory?” Gabriel asked while striving his best not to lose his temper.“Fall to death? What are you talking about?”“Wait. You really don't remember a thing?”Selena gazed at Gabriel with confusion in her eyes. Then she tried to sit up.“Ahh! Why does my body hurt this much?” Selena mumbled.“You really don't remember falling off the edge of a twelve story building?” Gabriel asked.“No. All I can recall is Mila explaining a bunch of stories to me before injecting me with yellow fluid, then everything became blank in my head.”
There were so many thoughts going through Selena's head as she repeatedly thought about Mila's text and the risk involved in facing her aunt.Selena was so stressed by this that she started tapping the desk over and over again.Craig and Mathew seemed a bit disturbed by Selena's sudden mood swing as they watch her fingers continuously hit against the wooden surface. But when Selena abruptly stood from her chair, that had them a bit troubled.“Madam, is everything okay?” Craig gently asked as he and Mathew stared at Selena wearing her coat.She then walked towards the door, but as she was about to open it to head out of her office, Mathew and Craig seemed prepared to follow her out.Selena slowly let go of the doorknob, and then she turned around to face them with anger expressed on her face.“I am an eight-month and a few weeks old pregnant omegala, off course I am not okay! M
“It has been five months and three weeks since the terror that took place at JC hospital. The country is still bleeding from such a monstrous happening.”Selena frowned as she stared at the news lady on the tv screen.“I told you not to watch the news. It will just make you moody.” Gabriel said.Selena faintly smiled as she stared at her husband, laying beside her on the bed. Then she turned her attention back to the television.“The past months have been difficult as we wait for the elders and our leaders to shine some light on the situation. But recently the footage from the JC hospital’s CCTV cameras was released to the media and we can assure you all that the terrific act was single-handedly done by a rogue Alpha named ‘Dakar.” The new lady continued with her report.Selena felt Gabriel hugging her from the back as he rested his chin on her shoulder.“How about we call it
Gabriel gazed at the uncomfortable looked in Liam's eyes, and he could tell that something was off.“Hand the phone over!” Gabriel commanded as he walked towards Liam.“But…” Liam tried to speak out. However, the rage in Gabriel’s eyes made him rethink his words.He then gives the phone to Gabriel before taking two steps back.The anger expressed on Gabriel's face was extreme when he stared at the name on the phone’s screen. Then he answered the call and kept silent.“Liam, how could you betray me? Do you think that I am afraid of going forward with the pieces of information that I have on you?” Mila’s angry voice echoed out of the phone speaker.Gabriel removed the phone from his ears, place the call on speaker, and handed it over to Liam.He said nothing, but Liam knew exactly what he wanted him to do. He hesitated for a moment. However, Liam knew that the only op
