“I was doubtful so far, but now that I've seen women flocking to him, I’m sure of it,” Dorothy was talking to her husband, Nolan. “She married him for his looks. And look what he’s doing, chatting with them nonstop. The dogs in our house are better than him. They wouldn’t talk with strangers. Instead, they shout at them and protect us from harm. But what’s this guy doing? It looks like he can’t wait to get all their numbers! Why aren’t you saying anything?”Nolan was slowly drinking wine. “Ah, yeah, you’re right.” Right now, he couldn’t care less if Rebecca married a millionaire or a mutton-chopping man because the wine was really delicious, and so he was drowning himself in it.After seeing that Nolan was busy drinking, Dorothy went to her daughter who was standing not far from where Benjamin was talking with the ladies. “What are they laughing so much for?”“He’s probably cracking some stupid double-meaning jokes,” Elizabeth said and then realized who she was talking to. “M-Mom?!”“
“You’re my wife, Rebecca,” Benjamin followed her and kept her voice low. “How can I stab you in the back?”“Go and tell those words to the millions of wives who get betrayed by their husbands,” Rebecca snorted.“I don’t know about others, but I would never stab you or anyone in the back,” Benjamin said. “We still don’t know much about each other, so it’s fine if we misunderstand each other, but… I think your sister is probably more hurt by what you said. I think you should-”“Don’t tell me about my own sister who I have known for quarter a decade,” Rebecca blurted.Benjamin went silent.“I still can’t believe that I married someone whom I know nothing about,” Rebecca muttered under her breath. “I was sure that I wasn’t making an emotional decision, but now, I wish I never married you. Maybe, I should have just told my family what happened, and they would have beaten you black and blue, and thrown you in jail. You would have spent a decade or two there.”Benjamin patiently listened to
Benjamin’s impression of Veronica changed after she spoke highly about her elder sister not long after she got slapped by Rebecca.Veronica definitely earned some respect from Benjamin.“And, it’s my personal advice, but you shouldn’t chase after her too much,” Veronica told him. “When you seek after someone, it tends to make them proud. Everyone in our house tries to talk to Rebecca and please her because she doesn’t talk and mingle with others that much. But maybe, that’s why, she’s become a bit prideful. Even now, she doesn’t mingle with other family members. She spends time with herself most of the time. I can understand if she reads books like my mom, but she doesn’t do that, either. So, I don’t know what she even thinks about. She never lets out her secrets. Maybe, she’ll tell you if you ask her, but take it slow. That’s all the advice I can give.”“Thanks for your tips,” Benjamin said. “I’ll definitely bring you free pizza when I get back to work.”Veronica somewhat smiled. “Do
By the time the wedding finished, a lot of people gave gifts to Selena, and she happily accepted them. Even the Hellmann family gave her gifts.Some people also tried to offer gifts to Rebecca, but she rejected them without any hesitation. There were some men who really persuaded her, but she was not at all shy when it came to breaking their newfound hopes of dating her or making her their own.“As expected of Selena’s daughter…” they said. “She’s entitled for this much arrogance!”Some loved her attitude and thought of it as cool, whereas some looked at it as if she needed some work on her ego.The only thing that bothered Rebecca was that Benjamin was really acting like a bodyguard and did not let anyone get closer to her without her permission. If he was doing it normally, it would have been fine, but he was exaggerating everything and was treating her like she’s some princess. And this embarrassed her a little.Once the party finished, and people began to leave, Selena came over t
On their return journey from the castle to the private jet, the Sterling family did not get to see the wolves again, but they were able to see other beautiful animals.Veronica and everyone took their time to capture some of the animals. Some deer were very big and were even taller than the cars, so they couldn’t help but be left in wonder.“Are you not going to take any pictures?” Benjamin asked Rebecca.“What would I do with the animal pictures?”“They can be used for inspiration for your designs later on,” he said.“I can just look for them online whenever I want,” she replied.The Hellmann family on the other hand realized what had happened to Arthur, but they didn’t immediately know who did this to him as Arthur was still paralyzed to the point he couldn’t even speak.They checked the cameras and understood that it was Veronica Sterling and their bodyguard.“How did they manage to put my brother in such a sorry state?” the bride wondered in rage. “I can’t let them get away like t
Shawn couldn’t pull Benjamin’s hand on the first attempt.He pulled again with greater strength now, and Benjamin let him win.“Brother Shawn, let me open the door and go out,” Benjamin tried to reason with him. “You can shut the door immediately if you want.”Shawn frowned. “Do you have a death wish or what?”“I’m not going out to die. I will tame them,” Benjamin replied calmly.“Don’t listen to him,” Rebecca quickly said. “Maybe he drank too much.” She had to say that even though she knew that he didn’t drink during the party. “The animals outside are not rabbits. They are wolves. Just one will be enough to kill you. There are dozens of them outside. So, shut up and sit here. Let’s wait until help arrives.”Benjamin took a deep breath and sat down.Shawn brought a chair to the door and sat by the door so that nobody would be able to open the door without his permission.A few minutes passed.“Look at that wolf, Lisa,” Roshan showed her a particular wolf. “It’s spinning in circles… n
“It’s been fifteen minutes since the wolves left,” Benjamin said. “I think we can step out now.”“How do you know that a few of them are not hiding from our sight?” Shawn said. “They could be on top or under this jet, for all we know.”“If it’s one or two, then we can easily scare them away with our numbers,” Benjamin said.His words made sense, but nobody said anything.“We have to get the pilots, or we’ll be stuck here,” Benjamin said. “Isn’t it strange that nobody came to help us even though so many wolves attacked us?”His words made everyone think. Jacob was already doubting what happened, and Benjamin’s words only strengthened that doubt.“Now that you said it…” Shawn was also having the same doubt, but the women didn’t think the same.“Are you saying that they let the wolves free to attack us?” Rebecca asked. “Why the hell would they do that?”“We’re the last ones leaving,” Dorothy said. “So it makes sense that they chose to only attack us. But why would they do that?”“Maybe t
“It’s been forty minutes,” Elizabeth was checking time on her 15K watch. “And there’s no sign of him or anyone for that matter.”“Yeah, this is very strange…” Dorothy was growing nervous. She looked at her husband, but Nolan was snoring loudly. He had drunk so much during the party, and now, he was down and out. Even if a thunderbolt were to crash right next to the jet plane, he might not wake up right now.Lisa and Roshan were playing a game on playstation.Selena was checking her mobile for a signal, but there was no signal. “Let’s say we wait for twenty more minutes, and he doesn’t return. Then what?” she asked a question.“Then we’ll grab whatever sharp objects we can,” Jacob said, “and get out together. As long as we fight together, we can chase even the wolves.”“I wish we at least had a gun,” Shawn said. “It was foolish to come so far without a gun. This place is built on a mountain, so no one can hear us even if we shout. Going down the mountain is also too risky. We have to f

Some days later.Sofia Myers ordered pizza from an apartment she had recently bought.And to her surprise, it was Benjamin who delivered it.“It’s you?” Sofia remembered him. “Aren’t you Rebecca’s husband? You both are having an official wedding soon, right? Why are you still working as a pizza-delivery guy?”“I have my reasons,” Benjamin replied. “And it’s more of a part-time job now.”“Okay, come on in,” Sofia told him.When he entered the apartment, there were over a dozen females there, smoking and drinking.“This guy is Benjamin, a mighty pizza-delivery guy who married a bald woman,” Sofia started making fun of him to make her friends laugh.Benjamin quickly countered her, saying, “It seems your husband has left you to your pleasures. I’m not surprised, though I might not have done the same thing.”Sofia gritted her teeth and threw her mobile at him.Benjamin caught it with ease. “A woman who easily gets angry will have a hard time obtaining a place in any man’s heart.”“Get the
Samuel Sehla and Kathy started dating.And Amber began to work for the Sehla family now, acting as a spy for Kathy.Samuel’s wife, Kismet, got sent divorce papers. Half of her face was still paralyzed.She tore the divorce papers into pieces. “How could you do this to me, Samuel! I will not let you get what you want!” she screamed madly. “Never!”Andrew Sehla, on the other hand, was busy dealing with all the new troubles and terror he was facing ever since he tried to do some good after getting forced by Benjamin a few weeks back.“I don’t have much longer to live anyway,” Andrew thought. “So I’ll live it in a way that it doesn’t leave any regrets.”Knowing that his time was short, he started passing some groundbreaking laws in the country.In the Sterling villa.George was begging his mother Dorothy to let him be the driver of the Sterling family.Dorothy didn’t know that George knew about Shawn killing Nolan beforehand.So she told him that he could work as a driver, but then Elizab
“Why can’t I meet him once?” Lisa yelled at her mom. “If you’re not going to let him see me, then I’ll leave this house!”“You think I’ll come running after you?” Elizabeth yelled back. “Leave the house if you want! No one is stopping you!”Lisa then angrily left the house and walked away on her bare feet, crying and shedding tears.It had been weeks since she had seen her dad, and she just wanted to talk to him once more and know how he was doing, but her mother was not even letting her contact her dad.Lisa didn’t know for how long she walked, but her stomach started growling.It was twelve in the afternoon, and she hadn’t eaten anything. So, she was really hungry now.She looked across the street. There was a bakery.Lisa touched her pockets and frowned as she didn’t have any money.She put her hand on her abdomen and rubbed it for a few seconds and was then walking away.“Lisa, what are you doing here?” Benjamin who was traveling in a truck had just made the driver stop the vehicl
In Sciocidad also known as the Sky City.“So she asked for more time…” Ryan sighed.He became the temporary ruler of the Wolfe clan.“Both Benjamin and Rye have left this seat, which is something that never happened before,” Ryan’s voice was gritty yet sad. “This doesn’t set a good example for the coming generations, especially given that we’re living in the end times.”“Don’t tell me, you’re planning on making someone else the sovereign?” Uzza quickly asked.“No, not yet,” Ryan replied. “We’ve lost a lot already. We can’t be wasting our people’s time or give them false hope. It is better to pick a new ruler, but I will wait a little longer.”Even though Ryan didn’t say it, Uzza felt that the time limit would probably be six months.“Come back soon, Rye,” Uzza wished in her heart.Elsewhere in the same city, in a dark dungeon.“With a friend like you around, what’s the need for enemies?” Benyamin was hissing at Dahlia as she poured her spiritual energy into Benyamin’s spine relentles
Rye’s POV:My first and only love has truly left me.After cutting my heart into pieces without making me bleed… That’s how he left me.My tears won’t fall.I can’t feel anything.Neither sadness nor regret.Nothing.Even though my one and only love has abandoned me, I can’t even shed tears.Just what kind of a person am I?What kind of a woman have I become?I keep cutting onions in one the huts of Rye’s Pizzas, but even the raw onions are not able to bring me to tears.“How long are you going to keep doing this?” A voice washed my back.Without turning, I knew that it was my mom Uzza.“Choose someone else as the sovereign,” I said, continuing to cut the chillies, hoping at least the chillies would elevate my anger.“You’re making the same mistake that Benjamin did,” my mom sighed. “Everyone is waiting for you, so please come back.”“I have no intention of returning any time soon,” I replied.My mom’s hand touched my shoulder. She slowly turned me around.Our eyes locked each other.
A few days later.At six in the morning.Rebecca woke up and found Benjamin resting with his head at her legs. “Benjamin, why are you sleeping the other way? You’re not a cat. Sleep next to me!”Benjamin rolled over to her side and lay next to her, sharing the same pillow. “Last night, I woke up for water, and then I saw the mole on your thigh, and I wanted to sleep next to it.”Rebecca’s face flushed very much. “Stop it, you are talking like a child!”“Aren’t we both still children in our relationship?” Benjamin gently touched her chin and planted a kiss on her cheek.Rebecca’s face gained some more blood. The same could be said for Benjamin. Both of them were fair and were in the prime of their age, so they appeared a thousand times more attractive when blood rushed to their faces.After Benjamin kissed her, Rebecca felt her emotions stirring up again. She pulled the blanket up and covered both of them and hugged him tightly and showered kisses on him.“I think it’s time for breakfa
The moment blood gushed out of Rebecca’s neck, while her eyes were staring at him, Benjamin immediately snapped.“BENYAMIN~~!!”His roar reverberated through the hearts of all the people there, shaking their very souls.Benjamin’s suit was ripped to pieces as he grew into a mighty silver werewolf and leaped forth.In a flash, Benjamin’s claws cut through Benyamin’s shoulder and snatched Rebecca.Benjamin vanished from people’s sight and landed on the rooftop.Dahlia and Uzza took Benyamin and also vanished from there.Rye stood frozen, and so did Selena and everyone from the Sterling family. The guests were also thrown into chaos as a man had turned into a monster right before their eyes.Louis and Bella were quick to act. They cast a wide spell together, which swiftly erased the recent memory of this wedding itself.However, they did not remove the memories of those from the Sterling family.Almost every guest collapsed on the floor afterward, but Selena and others were still standin
The wedding night has arrived on time just like the full moon in all of its splendor.Rebecca did not look happy because Selena did not send invitations to most of the people she should have.Selena didn’t want this wedding news to be spread around the world, either, so she tried her best to suppress it from behind the scenes.Jacob also played his part in doing what his wife wanted him to.Shawn entered the villa, wearing a disguise, as he wanted to see his sister’s marriage and also see his wife and kids once.The wedding was taking place in the front yard.Benjamin was standing in the distance, far from the crowd.Jane and Veronica brought Rye out of the villa. Dressed in dazzling white, she looked like the walking moon.Benjamin didn’t even look in her direction as his back faced the villa.Holding a bouquet of white roses and lilies, she waited for the groom.Moments later, Benyamin also walked out of the villa, as escorted by none but himself. With a hand in his pocket, he walke
