Echo heard the book drop, he dropped his shirt and quickly dashed out and jumped off the loaf floor. He approached the man who entered the room as the man turned around and bowed.

“Why didn’t you ring the doorbell?” Echo asked as he looked at Ella.

“The door was wide open.” The man said as he bowed his head. “My apologies.” He then turned to Ella. “My apologies, Miss.”

Ella picked up the book as she walked around and stood behind Echo.

“What is it?” Echo asked.

“There’s a fire in one of our warehouses. Mr. Fabian is already on the site.”

“Where is it?”

“In the North Bound warehouse.”

“I’ll be there,” Echo said as the man bowed again. Then, he left and finally closed the door. Echo turned to Ella.

“I’m just startled.” She mumbled. “He didn’t make any sound.”

“Hey, it’s fine. Let me check the door.” He headed to the door and made sure that it was locked. “You can stay here as you want.” he reached for her hand as he took her to his bedroom. “My bedroom is safer. The door is har

    Reid took two more pills so he could sleep. He doesn’t understand his body. Was it a mating season for him? Was he in heat? Was he in a rut? Her scent was making him so hard. He tried to move to the guest room but his beast shifted quickly and returned to the bedroom, startling her. He mated with her again although she was tired. “I’m sorry.” He grumbled as Hannah only cuddled him. He shoved his face to her chest as she gently caressed him. He closed his eyes hard, he wanted to sleep. He wanted to give her space. But how could he when he’s like this? The only thing that’s left is his control over himself for not marking her. “I’m not a good singer.” She whispered. “Baby, you have the most amazing voice that I have ever heard.” She laughed as she sighed and just held him. “Let’s sleep, Reid. I’m really tired.” “I am so sorry, baby.” He yawned and hugged her. His body was still eager to have her again. Although he already had her, it was not enough. He wanted to marry her. But

    Graham stared at his beautiful, Goddess-like mate. He was so lucky to have her. He moved away from her to admire her for a long time until she woke up and she closed her eyes again. She searched for him by using her hand. Between him and his older brother, he’s the most lucky. Reid lived a tough life, Reid always told him that he wished that he was a middle child or a youngest. So their mother wouldn’t control him too much. When Reid got rejected, he was the first one to hear it from him. He comforted Reid, but after hearing there was a girl who was also rejected at the same time as him the same place excites him. He said that he felt comfort toward her scent. He felt comfort from her voice and her presence. Graham remembered it well. “Could it be that she’s my true mate? Gray… she’s not that beautiful but as I stared at her face for long, she became like a Goddess in my eyes… She’s adorable… I think it’s love at first sight.” He doesn't know what to feel at first, but he’s glad t

    Ella had fallen asleep in his bedroom where it was covered by his scent. She didn't know why but she was calm and peaceful. She borrowed more books as she planned to go back to her room but then, remembering the cats in Hannah’splace, wanted her to go there. The door opened and she was startled while she checked a few more novels. “Oh, hey, dear.” Echo grinned. He lifted a bag. “These are new books. I have to go back to the office since there are problems that we need to take care of.” She took the bag as he patted her head. “I’m here to check on you. I made sure to put food in the fridge…” “Are you going home tonight?” She asked as he crossed his arms and thought. “That depends,” he said. “I mean, what are we doing tonight?” She looked away. “I wanted to see Hannah’s cats.” “Well, we can check on the cats.” He said softly. “Really,” her eyes widened. He nodded as he took out his phone and dialed Hannah’s number. “Hello,” Hannah answered. “Hannah, can we get into your uni

    Hannah was waiting by the porch for Reid. Areston received news that they had found her. It was ten in the evening andthey hadn't arrived yet. Mrs. King arrived four hours ago and could wait longer for Reid even though the mosquitos were on her. “Hannah,” Mrs. King called. “Get inside.” “It’s fine, Mrs. King. I’ll wait for RJ.” Hannah couldn’t stay inside when Reid was hurt somewhere. A car went into view as she got down the stairs and waited as it opened. Brett came out as she felt hope that Reid might be there. Reid came out with a sling on his right arm. She rushed to him in tears as she stared up at him. “Hey,” he reached her face and wiped it off. “Why are you crying?” She shook her head. “I’m not.” Reid hugged her with his left arm as she was careful not to hurt her.“I just felt that you were struggling… Why are you hurt? What happened?” “You felt that?” He asked. She nodded. Reid took her inside while Evelyn spoke to the boys and she had arranged rooms for them. They

    She should have started doubting him, but Reid had never hurt her physically or mentally. But it hurt, half of her soul wanted to agree with Ian’s beasts. But it hurts. She was confused. She didn't want to hurt both, but it seemed that she already hurt Ian’s beasts. “I’m sorry,” She cried as she felt her chest tighten. She felt guilty which she shouldn’t. “Hannah,” Reid’s voice woke her from being in a nightmare. “Don’t leave me, please… I’m going to mark you if you won’t claim me.”“RJ,” She finally reached his face. “I’m yours. I’m yours…” Reid’s fangs elongated further as he gently pushed her head away to bite her. “Stop!” He stopped as she exhaled. “Your arm, it’s bleeding.” She got up and hugged him. “Fuck it, Hannah. I want you now!” He growled. “If that bastard messed with your head, it only meant that he’s forcing his beast on you. If I don’t mark you now, he’ll keep messing in your head.” She stared at him. He looked anxious… he looked scared. But she’s not ready. She

    Ella watched as Echo continued working even at ten in the evening. She made him snacks and he thanked her. She sat beside him as he charmingly flashed a perfect smile and reached her hand and kissed it. Somehow, she felt close to Echo. He could only hold her hand and kiss her. He didn’t go further. “Was your work hard?” “Not really. I got used to it.” “Come on, eat this sandwich. I made it.” He grinned and took a slice as he took a big bite. He hummed. She stared at his hand on hers as she intertwined it. “Echo,” She called. “Hmm, would you still accept me even if I was a mess?” Ella whispered. “I know that people would think of me as a doll… but I don’t want to be a doll.” “Ella,” He put away the sandwich and wiped his hand from the towel next to the keyboard. “You are my mate. I want you. I need you.” “You know, Reid promised to bring me back to my family. But I don’t want to. I haven’t told him that I don't want to be back in hell.” She said softly. “And I~~I want you…” Ec

    Hannah sat down by the swing while Areston was sitting by the bench with Reid as they spoke over something. She was pouting since they prohibited her from going out of the mansion. She missed her cats and she missed her best friend. “Hannah, dear,” Areston called. “Hmm?” She looked at them. “Well, a little party tonight? What do you think?” “Uhh, party?” She thought for a while. “But are we in a little crisis?” “We are,” Areston said. “We mostly solved all of it and RJ also tracked the mastermind.” “Well, I don’t know.” She looked down at her slippers. “We rather want to sleep and stay in bed,” Reid said. “You can do that, but leave Hannah out of it,” Areston said and somehow, the father and son duo was adorable. “She’s mine, alright.” “You don’t have to scream that out loud,” Areston said calmly. “Dad, I’m not screaming.” She giggled at the two who continued bickering. “You are. You are too pushy. Hannah wanted to do things and you are stopping her.” Reid sighed, and fi

    Ella was in a baggy outfit as she wanted. She was comfortable with it and felt protected and with Echo beside her, she knew well that she was safe. Brett seemed to be a little tipsy. He mentioned that he was on his off day and only came to buy clothes. “We are in my private sanctuary.” Quinn grinned as they entered what seemed to be elegant dresses for girls. She gaped. Never did she have beautiful dresses or seen one. Things don’t have price tags and she knew well that it was… expensive. “Miss Quinn!” “Quinn knows a designer that went broke and got a few designs stolen. Graham bought a small company for her.” Echo whispered to Ella. “His way to propose to her. But expensive proposals were rejected.” “Oh,” Ella was puzzled. “Why?” “Because it was too expensive,” Brett said as he casually sat by the sofa in the waiting room meant for husbands and boyfriends. “Oh,” Ella said as Echo gently pulled her. “Go and choose whatever you want.” Echo nodded. “I only need one dress.” “N

    Reid watched as Hannah grind herself to him while they were in Hannah’s bedroom in her family house. The rushed wedding is now coming up. Everyone are busy and they made it to sneak into Hannah's room. He caressed her firm flawless butt while she’s moaning and stopping when she’s near. He didn't want her to hold herself and so he grabbed her waist and thrust back until she shattered into orgasm. He gathered her in his arms as he pinned her down on the bed and continued thrusting slowly. She giggled as she was locked into his arms. “We need to hurry. I still have to go with the girls before… hmmm…” He bit her earlobe as his other fingers gently massaged her clitoris. She squirmed but not as loud as it should be or they would hear them. She came again and this time, Reid followed her, showering her face with kisses. “Babies.” He grinned. “We are aiming for babies, my love.” He kissed her lips. She giggled and kissed him back. “Let’s get ready. We have pictorial and film. It’s also

    Tyrone looked at her useless wife and then at the omega whom he had bastard’s with. There were three bastards and his wife… his mate has been hitting him, screaming at him. Their legitimate son was somewhat in a dungeon. They don’t know where but Tyrone has been tracking Sandro who knows a lot about them. They have to pursue the war or else, they will fall. If the war wouldn’t happen it only meant that the Royal Majesty would freeze each pack’s finances. Somehow, the King together with the Dukes knows every account they had. So he made sure to keep some under her illegitimate son’s name. They don’t have a surname as Marquiss. “Your son is already dead, Genevive.” Tyrone looked away. “You failed as a Luna and as a mother.” Genevive stared at him with daggering eyes. She approached her and slapped him hard. He didn’t fight her. She’s just his fated mate, but he never loved her. “He’s your son.” Genevive breaks down. “Then, maybe… I shouldn’t have fought for you.” She turned back and

    Reid gently placed the recording in front of the King as they listened to Sandro’s story. He also mentioned the files and where they kept them. On the ledger, Reid also showed to the King about Sandro’s statement. They sent out Omegas dressed up as maids to serve the packs where she had been sold. And since hybrids mostly are not healthy when they were born and some died before they were born, omegas are their choice for breeding. The King was silent after reading all of it including the ledger. He didn’t see everything. He checked the dirty footage and glanced at it. Duchess Monique was also silent as she nodded. “No need for a jury, right, your majesty?” “If their faces are on this video, then, there is no need for due process.” The King had decided. “We’ll start with the ministers in a few weeks. We will handle them. We need to make sure that they won’t be able to leave the country.” Reid bowed his head. “We will be going then, my King. We have to prepare for the wedding.” T

    Marcia had picked up groceries for Gordon’s unit when she saw Hannah being carried by Reagan to his unit just a few doors from Gordon’s. She rushed there and started to knock hard. She just panicked. What if Reagan drugged her. The door shortly opened as Reagan opened it. She rushed inside and froze upon seeing Hannah in pink highlights of her hair. “Oh,” Marcia stared at her since she also looked so thin. “Who is she?” Eloisa asked as she hugged Reagan possessively. “I should be asking.” “Mars, this is Eloisa… Hannah’s doppelganger. I think she already mentioned that to you.” Marcia nodded. Hannah mentioned it. But doppelganger? Is it real?“And where’s Hannah?” She asked as Reagan pointed above. She headed back to Gordon’s unit and her man swung the door open. “I was thinking where you are.” Gordon took the paper grocery bags as he glanced at Reagan’s door. “Hannah’s doppelganger is in Reagan’s room. I think they had an affair.” Gordon laughed as Marcia frowned at him. He t

    Hannah was driving and everyone was alert while Eloisa was casually playing on the phone that Reagan lent to her a gaming console. She’s being casual that Hannah was driving and always multitasking. “Hannah, please… my dear Luna. Don’t kill us.” Reagan said as he told Hannah to stay on the lane. “Oh, sorry.” She swerved back to the lane and she drove carefully on the zigzag. “Why did you make a quick swerve?” Reid exclaimed. “We are all good.” Hannah said as they stopped by the gas station. “I’m driving.” Reagan finally decided. At the very back seat of the Sedan was Xander, sleeping peacefully and even snoring. They swapped seats as Reagan and Eloisa. Eloisa was about to put her feet on the dashboard but Reagan put her feet down. “That’s dangerous.” He glared at her as she pouted. Hannah and Reid were snuggled at the backseat. Mostly Reid was acting like a cat and snuggling to Hannah. Of course, their Luna tolerates that. They arrived at the residence safely. Eloisa put a ca

    Seeing how much her beloved came with just her hands made her feel like a fucking God. She kissed his lips as he sighed and relaxed. She cleaned up as Hannah snuggled to his chest. He kissed her as he reached her down there. A knocked on the door interrupted them as Reid put his boxers on and robe. Hannah covered herself with the duvet as she listened at the door. “Hey, Reagan. It’s too early.” “I’m here to report.” Hannah sat up. “It seemed that you marked each other. I’ll meet you in the office. Maybe a hot chocolate?” Reid glanced at Hannah at the bed. “Maybe I can join the conversation?” Hannah asked. “I’m curious.” “Hot chocolate then. And also get Xander.” Reagan bowed his head as Reid closed the door. Then, he approached his beloved and climbed over the bed. He reached the condom. “Let’s make this quick.” She giggled and hugged her. She watched him slide the condom on his hard shaft as he quickly slid into her. She gasped as she threw the pillows and lay flat. She had

    Xander takes Gracey to her bedroom that she shares with other omegas. He also gave her access to his bedroom. Where she can sleep there anytime she wants. He kissed her forehead good night and instead of resting, he headed down to the dungeon to see Eloisa squatting while eating a mango float and talking to someone. “Hannah made this. It’s very interesting, you know. It’s delicious.” Eloisa said. “I can give you a scoop if you want?” But the man in there wasn’t even moving and just gazing at nowhere. Xander squatted next to Eloisa. “Is he still alive?” Xander asked. “Yup. He hasn’t been eating well.” Eloisa pouted. “Oh, I see.” Xander sighed. “Well, too bad for her. We’ll have to keep him alive. We are feeding him well too, right?” “Yup.” Eloisa nodded. “Hey, Ivan.” Xander called. “Uh, you have to eat. Hannah will visit this dungeon soon.” Ivan turned his head as Xander laughed and Eloisa shook her head, realizing how sick Xander was. “I’m kidding, bro. But there are chances

    Eloisa felt so insecure. Seeing Hannah healthy, and the way his mate treats her with care. Everyone loves her already. They probably saw her and looked at her weirdly. But Hannah treated her with kindness. She didn't know if it was real. But they love Hannah. She sometimes wished to be her. Reagan told her to eat more. Then, she watched over Gracey who ate only a little. Kiara even nagged her about it. Telling her that she shouldn’t worry about Xander. She must be really anxious. She heard from her that the time that Xander met her, his eyes looked very much furious upon seeing her. Not because she’s an omega but he’s bad about the marks on her ankles. Her heart clenched so much that Gracey would laugh it off. Xander was a gentleman although he’s somehow a little psycho. She just hoped that he wouldn’t do what those bastards did to Gracey. There were people in this little community who asked if Hannah was her twin. But she doesn't know at all. She grew up in an orphanage. She rem

    Fuck? No. Reagan would never do such a thing to her. She’s his mate. He would love her like he’s supposed to do. He turned to her and saw her wiping her tears. It breaks his heart that he didn’t clarify it. He pulled her wrist as she stepped closer to him. “Don’t get hurt over it,” Reagan said. “I would never fuck you. You are my mate. I would never do that to you.” She looked up at him, surprised as the elevator door opened. She sniffled as he put his arm over her. She hugged him surprisingly and shoved her face to his chest while the elevator went down. “Kiss me.” She insisted as he shook his head. She frowned at him and pushed him. “I’m busy, alright? I can’t kiss you and make love to you in the elevator.” He took her back to her room. “Try the dresses, I have to clean up some bastards.” He closed the cells with a glass as warm water showered on the people they kept. Since they don’t have a bed they just lie on a cold floor. Someone tried to kill himself by wrapping the cloth
