Chapter TwentyHarriet's PovI took my water bottle from Kayla as I sipped a little from it's contents, I was running laps as I needed to stay fit, I kept looking behind me, my subconsciousness wanted Tyler to just appear out of nowhere and cause a scene just like he did yesterday and I admit been a little bit disappointed when he didn't.My father wasn't back yet and mom was not around so I still had the entire mansion to myself, when I was done with my morning exercise and routine; I went back to the mansion and freshened up, I got prepared for work though I have little or nothing really important to do but unless I was sick I never missed a day at work.I sat at the dining table and read the newspaper as I ate my breakfast, I preferred the old newspapers rather than watching TV, when I was done, I still lingered around, kind of hoping Tyler would show up but then I got angry myself for wanting to see a man who would use his own son to lie.Work awaited me so I got into the car and
Chapter Twenty-oneTyler's PovIt was obvious her whole body ached for my kiss and I would be a liar if I didn't want it also but I didn't, I just chuckled and let her go, she looked disappointed but it was for her betterment, she was being impossible so I activated the mate bond on her, it's effect worked as it should but I hated making her do things against her wish so I let her go."You puny pervert!" She cussed.I laughed."Like you weren't the one almost kissing me few moments ago." I teased her."You... Shameless!" She declared.I laughed, it was funny and wholesome seeing her speechless, I wish I could banter with her all day long but I needed to be somewhere else so I switched to Mr. Serious mode."I need your help." I said desperately.She looked shocked and probably confused."You need my help? Since when do arrogant people like you need my help? Hilarious." She said sarcastically.I love her sauciness and style, all these confirms she's my woman."I need a favor from you Iv
Chapter Twenty-twoDarren's Pov"Dylan, make the necessary preparations, the alpha is coming." I instructed my most trusted man.He nodded and left immediately, I sighed, I understood Tyler more than anyone else, taking Nelson to Ivory's lookalike whom he believes is his late wife was a really risky decision but I've learnt to trust him over the years, he never made a wrong move and it made him the ideal alpha.The years he spent mourning Ivory was dark and very horrible, he barely talked to anyone and resented his dad till this day, Pamela tried her very possible best to make him forget Ivory but he pushed her away, though his father arranged an engagement between them both he still stood his ground and refused to succumb to his father's wishes."Where are you?" Jemimah; my mate asked through our mate mind link."I'm busy right now, do you need me?" I asked her."No, I heard about what happened last night, are you fine? What about the alpha, is he fine also?" She asked worriedly."He
Chapter Twenty-threeTyler's PovI was relieved seeing that Nelson is safe with Ivory, I dialed Darren's number and ordered him to meet me at our hideout, I asked Alex to represent me in whatever meeting would hold at the office for the day, I needed to make sure Kratis was apprehended else there would be a serious problem in the pack.I got to our hideout; a little house built in the woods, I made sure no one was following me, I got to the doorsteps and knocked once; our secret code to signify a trusted person was around, I got no response and I knocked again, the house creaked open, I walked in and went straight into the kitchen, I took a little teacup and spun it around, the kitchen walls parted to give way to a secret pathway.I walked further in and the walls closed behind me like a door, I sighed as I sat in an armchair, I sensed Darren's presence."Tyler." He said quietly."What's the latest update?" I asked impatiently.He walked to the wine cellar."Martini or red wine?" He a
Chapter Twenty-four Ivory's PovNelson ran around my office as if it was a playground, I couldn't help but chuckle at his childish acts, he was a child of course but his innocence reminded me of the goddess, she is famous for her purity and innocence, it was of course not easy smuggling him into my office, paparazzi was everywhere and been seen with a little boy who stylishly resembled me was not food for my reputation.I would be engaged soon and married, my father was also absent, the least I could do was keep things low until he returned, news of his daughter having a child around in the office wasn't impressive so I had few trusted people take Nelson into my office to avoid any form of suspicions, Tyler owed me one for my hard work, I never hid anything that much in my life.My phone vibrated and I picked it up."Hello ma'am, your order is ready." "Okay, have it delivered to my office right away." I said flatly and hung up.Nelson shrieked in happiness as he bounced on the tramp
Chapter Twenty-fiveTyler's PovI seethed in anger as I walked back to my chambers, my father never ceased to annoy me, I only tolerated his presence because of Nelson and because he was the alpha of the pack, ever since Ivory died; I developed a form of hatred and bitterness towards him, he was one of the many people who stood against my relationship with Ivory, just because my mother was no more he assumed the role of a matchmaker.Instead of seeing me as a son, he saw me as a tool for gaining more power, when I tried to tell him Ivory was my mate he was against it and would rather I marry a powerful pack's daughter, all he cared about is expanding his coasts and making more money at everyone else's expense, who does that?I felt a mighty gust of wind rush past me and I grunted, it was him, my father was double-crossing me."What the hell do you want? My life?" I said sarcastically."That's no way…" he began but I cut him short."To talk to the alpha of the pack, I know! My apologie
Chapter Twenty-sixHarriet's Pov"Mommy! I want ice cream!" Nelson's said for the hundredth time.It was afternoon already and he was pestering me that he wanted ice cream, I would have ordered it for him but by the time it would get to us it would have melted, so the only way was to go get it, the ice cream shop would definitely would be crowded and I was easily spotted among the crowd, my hair and beauty make it almost impossible to go out in disguise.I tried to make him understand but he wasn't listening."Nelson darling, we can't go outside, it's dangerous, your father wouldn't approve of it." I said convincingly."But I want ice cream." He whined."We'll get ice cream later, I'm busy right now." I lied.He pouted and stared right at me."Daddy said you'll give me whatever I want." He said.I inwardly cursed Tyler, how did he manage to spoil his son this much yet train him so well? "Mommy, I want ice cream." Nelson drawled.I began to get irritated by his incessant demand for ic
Chapter Twenty-sevenKratis PovI was frustrated, I sneaked into Nelson's room after much effort but he was nowhere to be found, I wondered where he went because I don't remember seeing him leave the mansion, I happened to be passing by and heard the exchange between Tyler and the alpha, I discovered from their conversation that Nelson had left.I seethed in anger and was more irritated when Tyler didn't disclose Nelson's location, I needed to know where he was so I would strike, one more thing I got to know was that Tyler wasn't over Ivory yet and it meant he would be weak, werewolves are never fully strong without their mates.The security was getting more tight and I couldn't hold on any longer, the longer I stay; the higher the risk of been found, when I got the chance to, I left the mansion and went into the city, my plan was to find people who gated Tyler as much as I did and would help me bring him down.My stomach rumbled as I passed by an ice cream shop, I had little cash on
