Five Months LaterWe get off the conference call with Magnus. That asshole always rubs me the wrong way, every God damned time. If he wasn’t an old friend of my father’s I’d have no qualms with ditching him and his entire company off our client roster, but it’s not only up to just me.Simon sniggers next to me. “Erik, you really need to relax.”He starts to gather his sketches.He’s not wrong. Ever since I returned to Oslo I’ve been so tightly wound up and snappy that I’ve gone through four assistants, all quitting after just weeks at the company. I suspect the current one whose name I don't even remember is hitting send on her letter of resignation right now after my outburst this morning. I don’t even remember what it was about, but it sure felt important at the time.Simon stops to examine me and sighs. “You need to figure out a way to get closure on this. It’s festering, and it’s seeping not only into your work life, butRelated chapters
SEEING HEART chapter 35
ErikWhen I pull up outside The Beanie it takes a few minutes for me to go inside. Just looking at the place brings back so many memories and emotions. The longer I look at it the more I realize I was happy here. Jack was right, I needed this place; it did heal me after my mother’s passing. Not just the place but the family that lives withing it’s walls.As soon as I step inside both Marco’s eyes zero in on me, and they lose their shit. They start spouting what I assume are obscenities at me in Italian and all heads turn in my direction as they come to escort me off the premises.I don’t budge. “Where is Harley? I need to speak with her.”“Ti ha lasciato, figlio di puttana.”“Non è qui, vattene!”Sam and Vanessa appear in the doorway of the kitchen to see what the fuss is all about. There are a couple new faces I don’t recognize, but no Harley.“Where is she?” I look to Sam and Vanessa.“She’s gone.” The words g

HarleyThe warehouse is packed tonight. I’m not surprised, it’s the last series of fights for the season. Good thing too, I’m getting over the whole thing. It’s really helped to rebuild myself after everything’s that happened, but I feel like it might be time to start a new chapter.But first, there’s one butt left to kick for the title: Kevin fucking Flanders. I love the guy but that won’t stop me from pummeling his ass in the ring.I say title but it’s just bragging rights. They’re not exactly underground fights, we have medics standing by but it’s not like they’re legitimate national fights.Dan, AKA The Beast, did an amazing job fixing this place up. It used to be an old shoe factory, now it’s a mix of night club, bar and cage match arena with a luxe industrial feel. Right now, Dan’s in the cage taking on one of his challengers for the warmup entertainment. Every 10 minutes he’ll fight someone new. If they win, they get 5 grand cash.
SEEING HEART chapter 37
ErikThis isn’t exactly what I had in mind when I came to win back my woman. Whether I win or lose in the ring, it doesn’t matter. The look in her eyes just now gave me all the hope I needed. It was fear and concern all rolled into one.It doesn’t mean that I’m not going to try to win of course. If I make it to 10 minutes, it’s a draw.As much as I’m doing this for Harley I need to focus on the task at hand. I saw this guy fight a little earlier, he’s not bad, just a bit of a showoff. If I can make him tired and angry, he’ll unravel, so I do what all good boxers do; I wait and assess his weaknesses.The Beast is bigger than me. A little slower. A little clumsier. I dodge his shots, he dodges mine.What is that? He’s not entirely focused? Maybe he’s hesitant to hurt me for Harley’s sake? He lands a jab. Fuck, that’s not it. Focus you idiot.All I need is one good uppercut. We dance around for what seems like eternity. I look at th
SEEING HEART chapter 38
ErikAbout four whiskeys later, I sit at the bar wallowing in my misery. The woman next to me has been talking at me for God knows how long.The bartender slides over two shots of tequila, a saltshaker and slices of lime my way. I look at them suspiciously and look up at him.“I didn’t order these.”He just smirks and leaves. And then it hits me, Harley.I look up and see her walking towards me in a red, low-cut dress that slays me right there on the spot. And those stilettos, I didn’t know she even owned heels like that. I can’t help but ogle her as she saunters over.The woman next to me eyes Harley as she approaches. Harley ignores her completely. In the animal kingdom the predator does not concern itself with prey.As I swivel in my stool to face Harley the woman takes a hint and leaves. I think she said something, but I don’t care enough pay attention. I leave my elbow leaning on the bar and we stare at each other i

HarleyErik asked me to drive his rental since he’s had much more to drink than I have. After changing into my sneakers, I obliged him, and since Kevin gave me a ride to Mickey’s I didn’t have to worry about a vehicle or bike.Kevin told me about his little exchange with Erik in the locker rooms just before the fight. Said he’s never seen such a hot piece of ass so filled with murderous intent before. Kevin’s gay, but Erik doesn’t need to know that any time soon. Just the thought of him being tortured for a bit was too amusing.I glance over at Erik who hasn’t taken his eyes off me since we got into this ridiculous sports car. I don’t say anything and just keep driving. I haven’t made any firm decisions yet. I want him, I want to be with him, but I can’t dive in head-first without thinking. Not again, not without a helmet or something.When I park the car in the Hotel’s parking lot Erik takes my hand. “Wait a moment.” He gets out of the car, grabs

ErikWhen I wake up Harley isn’t in bed, and I panic. I listen for any sound of her, and I’m relieved to hear her moving around the suite.I walk out to the living room to see her hopping around in the dark trying to get into her tight jeans. With just her bra on I can’t help but notice her breasts jiggling as she hops around.“Why are you up so early?” I rub the sleep away from my eyes. “Come back to bed.”Harley pulls on a t-shirt as she makes her way over to me, and as her head pops out, she plants a kiss on my lips. “I need to go.”“Like hell you do.” I grab her around her waist and pull her in for a deeper kiss.She chuckles into my mouth. As her hands work their way up around my neck, I can’t help but grumble in satisfaction."You want me to order you some breakfast before you go?”“No, I’ll grab something out. Never been a big fan of hotel food, and the coffee always sucks balls.”I can say will

HarleyErik didn’t hesitate, and an hour later after our last communal meal for a while, we were on the road, but not before the Marco’s gave Erik the shovel talk.It was so perfect, those two are completely in tune with one another.“She cries?”“We bury you.”“You disappear?”“We bury you.”“You hurt her?”“You bury me, got it.” Erik nods.“No,” Marco shakes his head and steps closer to Erik, poking him on the chest, “we skin you alive first, then we bury you.” He gives Erik a couple condescending slaps on the face.“Got it.”Sam had to drag them inside after that, but my Marco couldn’t help but give him murder eyes and ran his finger across his neck as he disappeared inside.Erik just looked at me and shook his head. The smile he gave me said it all though, he likes them; probably appreciates the fact I have so many people watching my back.I’m a lucky girl.
SEEING HEART chapter 42
ErikThey were the same words she taunted me with at the Blue Roof Motel all those months ago. It was all I needed to hear and I sure as hell wasn’t going to ask if she was sure.A woman like Harley knows what she wants, when she wants, and I’m going to give her everything I have and more.I wrap my hands around her and press her up to me. “Any time you want me to stop-”Harley doesn’t let me finish. Her hands pull my face down, crashing my lips onto hers. Her mouth parts eagerly and my kiss in return wasn’t tender. It was months of pent-up frustration unleashed at once.With the green light I slide my hands up Harley’s shirt and she raises her arms to help me take it off. Harley’s hands work fast to undo my belt and zipper as I pull my shirt off.We both struggle out of our jeans in the tiny space that we have in the trailer. Harley starts to laugh as she topples over.“Helvete.” I hear Harley mumble under her breath an

SEEING HEART The End
Rue’s POVI bent down so I could be on par with the little girl, she was beautiful, I have never seen a little girl as delicate as she is, and she turned out to be this Man’s daughter. I didn’t even know he had a daughter, does it also mean he has a mate? Oh, that would be quite hard to believe. I thought to myself, who would be able to put up with someone like him? Someone who only thinks about himself and is rude and unbecoming like him.At least he is kind to his daughter, and that’s beautiful to watch. But then seeing her come to me was unexpected, she has the same beautiful eyes as her father but her hair looks a little bit different, probably better.“Hi, My name is Rue” I replied her“That’s pretty. Rue what? What’s your surname?”“Oh darling, I don’t have a surname”“But why? Everyone has a surname” And she is smart too. Her beautiful tiny voice was almost like a song to my ears, from all the children I have ever had to b
SEEING HEART Chapter 10
Kaizen ’s POVI have always known that mating with a she-wolf means you have to bond with them thoroughly, you have to submit your loyalty to them, you have to trust them, and sometimes put their needs above yours.At least, that was how it was with Tonia... I didn’t need to question the rules, I loved her. So giving her my loyalty and my care was never something to debate about.But this thing with Rue is not something I planned for, it’s not something I thought would be dropped on me without my permission.But if I have to do this for myself, my position, and Aleria, then I will. But bonding with her at the time does not necessarily mean trusting her or loving her.I will give her my protection. That should be significantly more than she bargains for. She will have shelter and my protection, and that should be all.It’s just the way it should be done, not the way I want this done.“The carriage is ready. We have to mov
SEEING HEART Chapter 9
Kaizen’s POVYes, the memory won’t leave and I am not prepared for it. I felt it was better to be on the road back to the pack than stay another minute in the same room with the little beast.Her innocent look never ceases to surprise me, and the frightening resemblance between Tonia and her is something I have to watch out for.“Give the girl a break Kai, she is not the reason why we are in this mess. We will find whoever killed Tonia and I will make him or her pay” Of course Marcel had followed me inside... I am sure he is also hurting as much as I do, Tonia was his only sister. It is the way he handles the loss, I am yet to learn.“It’s been six years already, Marcel! It’s been six years and I’m yet to catch the bastard! I only know him by his scent and nothing more. And to think I have not perceived that scent again drives me crazy! It’s been six years and all I have is a scent! A scent that might not exist” I was frustrated, I would go back t
SEEING HEART Chapter 8
Kaizen’s POV“What do you mean by that?” I saw the uneasiness in her eyes before she even got the words out.“Have you forgotten our pact?”“What pack are you talking about? I do not remember making any pact with you” she said pouting her round rose pink lips, she is killing me with her innocence. Or should I call it naivety?“Oh, so you are going to pretend that it never happened?” I looked over at Marcel munching down his food, deliberately removing himself from the conversation.“Master, what do you say about someone who doesn’t keep their word?” I saw him look away from his food and met my gaze, with his brows asking a silent question.’She agrees to be my slave if I saved her from a very unfortunate incident, she is about to act like she doesn’t remember” mind communicating with him.‘Oh’ I think he got the memo“The person tends to be very dishonorable and should not be taken seriously” He answered, making
SEEING HEART Chapter 7
Rue’s POV“Are you sure you want to go with them?” I heard him say from above me, this man that I have only just met! And he is already involved with almost all the embarrassing moments of my life. I wondered if he heard any of the conversations between me and the boys.To answer his question, I nodded my head, and then I shook it. I was not sure what I wanted to do, or what would be the best thing for me.Go with Adam and Luke and believe what they had not told me earlier or I go with a total stranger, someone who might be the end of me if he decides to take me into the midst of his friends who may be rogue hunters, forgetting that he and his current companion had saved my life when I thought all hope was lost.“What exactly do you want to do? You are confusing me. Do you want to go with them or do you want me to continue to stay here?” he said looking confused with the folds between his brows...He looked beautiful as I looked intently
SEEING HEART Chapter 6
Kaizen’s POVI have heard plenty people say that they feel rather invincible when they feel no one is looking at them when doing something out of ordinary or when they feel they have to do something out of the ordinary, that must be what she has on her mind to think I don’t know what she is doing finding her way to break away from my body and then making her way out of the house with her legs barely touching the ground. I stayed on the bed because of her, I wanted to keep her warm until she was not shaking anymore, I guess now she is strong enough to escape without taking a glance back at the ones who have just saved her from the brink of death.I have always been a light sleeper, apart from it being my wolf’s ability, it is something I have helped myself to learn from before I even became alpha and the ability has helped me in so many ways to even count, I have been saved from near death experiences because of it. And well, now I can also notice when an ungrateful
SEEING HEART Chapter 5
Rue’s POVI could almost feel that I was in a safe place even before I opened my eyes, it felt safe... Yes...And warm! One of the things I have been lacking in my life for a very long time is warmth. The body engulfed me, making me feel like a big wolf was giving me its warmth and I just wish I had the luxury to lay there forever and forget the very thing that had brought me there.I tried to make sense of what had happened the night before since it was obvious that I am still alive and fleshy and I have not been eaten by fishes or torn by animals because they see me as weak.If any of those didn’t happen, then I am probably in the hands of the rogue hunters, a fate worse than death itself. I paused, But why was I being protected and cuddled by a rogue hunter? It does not make any sense, I should either be tied to a wall or beaten or even tortured to ask whatever it is that I have done that I had become a rogue. I mean that should be what this moment shoul
SEEING HEART chapter 4
Kaizen’s POV“Kai, do you think that thing over there beside the lake is a human being or an animal?” My best friend and second in command Marcel, first announced but since It was not in a panic voice I didn’t want to think so much of it, he likes to trick me when we are off duties, but only because of those tricks, the weight of being too professional and the rules that bound my world has not affect our friendship amongst others, although I’m not complaining about any of it, I have had my own share of fun over the years so now I just let the rest fall Into place.We were out here to the cabin because of the rain, it has been crazy and tiring leading the pack through the week and I just wanted to run wild without expecting anyone reminding me of my duties.“Kai! I think she is going to jump!” Now, there was panic in his voice, I stopped removing the remains of my clothes then turned to see what he was looking at and truly a small girl, looking dirty, drenc
SEEING HEART chapter 3
Rue ’s POVMy eyes awoke to splashes of rain on my face and dirt around me, I was weak, no doubt, I felt powerless. I took a good look around me, the field was still as empty as I remember it from earlier that evening, the memories of his rejection hit me again but this time I was more aware of it, it didn’t come to me as shocking.I must have passed out for hours because it was beginning to get very dark, but my eyes adjusted quickly to the darkness evolving around me and my environment.To think I was still on the field, wet and dirty, it means I have absolutely no one on my side, no one who cared if I was okay or not. I had at least thought Riley would keep me away from the pouring rain and put me in a shelter, no matter how small, no matter how shattered it would be, and maybe a warm blanket would do, but nothing, I’m still here, drained, dirty and cold.I have no family, no friends, no worthy enemy even. I have heard you can only have enemies
