Kristen was thrown on an iron chair and that made his back and body hurt. By now, Kristen was sure that they were in the middle of nowhere because his wristwatch stopped beeping. It usually beeped slightly when it sensed a new location as well as a new temperature. Kristen wondered whether they were going to come out of that place before it was too late."Is this genius thinking of how to escape?" A mocking voice came up behind him. Kristen could feel a warm hand creep up his neck and he felt so irritated by the fact that his hands were chained and it was impossible to shake her hands off him. He was even ready to have a bath for something like this.When Kristen didn't answer, Victoria must have gotten angry and signaled to the men because the next moment, Kristen had a strong force cutting sharply against his jaw. His entire mouth hurt like hell and he spat out blood, but he wasn't ready to give in to her wicked touches.Kristen had thought that he was the only one in the room but t
Luckily for them, Kristen shoved the two of them just in time before those men saw them. If the men saw them, then all the efforts they had put into escaping there would be in vain.Killian wanted to yelp in pain but Kristen was fast enough to clamp his mouth with his hands and no sound escaped. After looking right and left, they waited for the appropriate time when the men were not looking, then they stole away.Immediately they got to the main road and the air touched Kristen's face, he breathed out in relief. Getting them killed back then was really close.He turned to Amanda, "Why don't you take Killian to the hospital and let him heal first while I go after Melissa."Amanda shook her head, "No," "whatever happens, we are together on this rescue mission.""I know, but what about Killian? Bringing him along with us will not only be a burden, I doubt it'd be that easy for him." Kristen tried to reason. They had no time and therefore he wanted them to reach a consensus as soon as pos
"It's a breakthrough, she finally picked up her call," Amanda said and then frowned when the call was needed almost immediately after it was picked. Amanda was about to sigh when a message came into her phone. It was an address of the place Melissa was.Amanda passed the phone to Kristen who then stared at Killian and said, "I think you should turn left, Melissa is in East Wood Street."When they got to the designated place, Kristen got out of the car and hurried into the place. It was an average building which would jot as much as attract so much attention to it.When Kristen saw that it was an inn, he subconsciously nodded his head in approval. That was definitely wide of Melissa to do.Kristen was the first to enter the place and he had to ask the receptionist if someone named Melissa Kim was there and he replied in the affirmative. The place looked a little local, like a place that wasn't keeping up with the pace of the recent happenings of modernization."That way, by your right.
Two weeks later, Amanda, Killian, and Kristen were together at the same table having breakfast at Alexander's place. Somehow, they all survived the ordeal and didn't die. As for Amanda and Killian, her magic had worked for her at the last minute when she almost gave up on it and she was able to at least protect Killian and herself.As for Kristen, he only had a few blisters which the doctor tended to after he got Alex to safety.Alexander recovered fully a few days ago and he was now able to do anything without difficulty.The deep bullet wounds were gone and everything was fine with his body."Thanks, everyone, for coming, let's eat up." Alexander cheered. How could he have known a few years ago that Kristen whom he hated so much would turn out to be a great friend, and there was Killian? Even though Killian was his Beta, he remained loyal even to the point of death.Alex was glad that at least, there were people who cared when he was at his weakest point. They just never gave up on
"Hey, what's going on? You've been all cut out for the better part of today." Sophia asked as she jumped on the sofa, whilw circling her hand around his neck.All she knew was that Kristen didn't go to work today which was unlike him. And then if she wasn't on leave for a few days, she wouldn't have notice. But the weirdest thing was that he didn't even come around her. He simply stayed on his own and kept on taking calls upon calls. Despite all these, Sophia didn't want to get pissed. Right now, it was evening and she needed to hear from him."Oh, nothing, I'm fine, thanks." Kristen pecked her cheeks and then continued typing away on the laptop before him. Sophia wrinkled her nose, folded her arms across her chest and faced the other side. But when she saw that Kristen didn't even notice her change of attitude because of how busy she was, she got up. First he wouldn't tell her what was going and now he wouldn't give her any attention. He had been on his laptop and phone since morni
Later that evening, Sophia could be seen beside Kristen with her head bowed and shoulders slouched.Her father was going to be killed as that evil man he was and she could do nothing about it. She was fucking unable to stop Kristen from doing what he wanted.Each minute and every step of the way while coming to this slaughterhouse, she would wonder if it wasn't wrong to sheepishly follow Kristen here.Was the knowledge of good and bad she had acquired even real? Was it really her conscience that was making her allow her father to be killed?Even if her father didn't play his role right, and she had watched him kill so many people, she didn't still want to watch him die.Sophia slightly turned, looked up at Kristen, and sucked in her lower lip, as she tried to lower her anxious mind.Tonight and a few minutes from now, blood was going to feel. And it wasn't just anybody's blood, it was her father's.She stared into Kristen's face and then when he caught her eyes, she looked away."A pe
Kristen smirked as he let himself get taken away by the corps. With him, there was no such thing as law, corps, or police. How bad it was because he wasn't even gonna get fined or rot in jail. Hell no.Through Kristen's connection, he even knew most people in the corps and somehow, he was surprised they didn't inform him of their coming tonight."Let me go, officer." Kristen had told the officer who was asked to detain him."No, you'll have to stay here for three hours at most. That way, there'll be no unnecessary suspicion." The officer retorted and Kristen frowned.Sophia didn't want her father dead, however, she had lured her father into the hands of the law. Now, he understood what exactly she did. Her father was going to be probed by the police and then if they were tactful enough, they would have to find out those heinous crimes he had committed."Close the bars and let me be." Kristen waved madly then clamped his lips in annoyance.Meanwhile, Sophia was just walking out of th
"Hand me a suit and a box of gloves," Kristen said to the man standing beside him.With his body slightly shaking, the man standing next to him said, "Sir, we are sorry for the inconvenience. Please do not hold this against us.""Why are they so dumb?" Kristen muttered under his breath.A frown etched out on Kristen's features as he coldly stared at the uniformed man."I only asked for a suit and gloves," Kristen said, making sure his words were clearly heard."Oh, thanks for your kindness. You'll get the suit and gloves in ten minutes." There were a lot of unanswered questions going in his head and today, he wanted to find the answer to them all by himself.Kristen stepped out of the station and almost immediately, a black Bentley pulled up in front of him. He pulled off the dark shades he had on and stared at the car before he started walking towards it.A man in a black suit quickly alighted from the driver's side and scurried over to the passenger side to open the car door for Kr
Through some intervention Alex wasn't too sure about, Melissa had escaped hurting herself or her babies after she was attacked by Victoria.Fortunately for them both, Melissa didn't also lose her life in the hospital after they went there when she went into labor.Six years later ..."Mia, go upstairs this minute and get your two brothers down or they'll be late for school." Mia mimicked her mother. Mia and Melissa laughed at the same time."Mom, I mean I'm on a break but you have no idea that Roland and Jasper pretend to be asleep even when I scream. I didn't even do that when I was their age." Mia whined. She was now in Sophomore year and on a winter break but now, it sucked playing senior sister.Melissa smiled, "come on, they are your sweet little brothers. Now, why don't you go call them to join us for breakfast? I might convince your father to take us to the park today." "Okay Mother, I'll just get the apple pies from the oven on my way back," Mia said and smiled. Over the years
As Kristen walked into the room, he could hear no sound but the sounds of heavy breathing ... And he could perceive the smell of death hanging in the air.Yes, he had trusted his instincts and walked according to his intuition and this room was where it brought him.Kristen traced his hands on the wall and when he found the light switch, he turned on the lightThe sight that greeted his sight was dumbfounding yet, it had a lovely feeling attached to it. Kristen was glad about what he was seeing but he tried his best to pull off a grim expression."Hello there. Who would have thought that Alexander would be here, slitting Victoria's throat?" Kristen walked closer to Alex who stood still, observing him."You know, you don't look like you're on her side," Alex said and then went to some sink to wash his hands off the staining blood of Victoria."And neither am I on your side," Kristen said with a sour face before he chuckled and continued."You know, I must have been joking just now. Ther
Alex worriedly walked around the hospital lobby like he had lost his mind. Melissa had lost so much blood before they came to the hospital. Coupled with this fact, the doctor had told him that there was very little chance she could come out of the operation room alive.When the doctor told him that his baby's life and the life of Melissa were at risk, he had pleaded with the doctor to save the life of his wife. Not that he didn't care about the baby or anything. If he lost his mate, he wasn't sure if he was going to still keep sane.Melissa was just someone he couldn't bear to lose.Alex wiped his sweaty forehead with a handkerchief and by the time he dipped back into his pants pocket, a look of determination masked his face.He stared at the door of the room they had kept Melissa in and a deep sigh escaped his dry lips.Alexander's heart shook the more. He didn't want to be here when the doctor would give his report about Melissa's health status. It would be so disheartening and he ju
Today was Melissa's day for a check-up and right now she was sad that Alex didn't go to the hospital with her. Normally, she wouldn't have been feeling this way but it seemed that her pregnancy hormones were really kicking in badly.Melissa could have simply used one of Alexander's cars or even gone ahead to enter a cab but then, she wanted to walk for a few. At least she'd get to think a whole lot about her life and then her legs weren't going to be pretty swollen.Alex had warned her never to walk alone. She was to walk in the company of other wolves but today she had bribed one of those men Aled had hired qs driver's and personal bodyguards so they wouldnt even as much as escort her today.All of a sudden, a cream-colored Jaguar pulled up in front of her, making her to squint her eyes in concentration.Melissa didn't know why but it was as though she was getting lightheaded and seeing some colors she knew they didn't exist in the sky on a normal pregnant-free day.A group of men ju
Kristen stopped at some certain place and alighted from the car. Sophia alighted from the car, seeing that Kristen seemed to be in a hurry."I need you to be strong with whatever you're gonna hear in there. I didn't want you to come with me but you're one stubborn girlfriend." Kristen said and held her hand as they briskly walked in.Now inside the building, the first sight that came into view was a magnanimous conference room that made Sophia wonder if there were such rooms as big as this in the world."Stop the meeting, he is no heir of my father." An old man coughed and slowly cast his gaze to the entrance where Kristen stood with Sophia beside him. "You've been dethroned, young man, you have no rights here." The old man said and leaned back in his seat as though he was already tired. He was the executive head and the oldest man in the Shelvis Cooperation. He even had this company and mafia association built with Kristen's Father."I have evidence. Evidence to show that you all a
You're home now, I'll leave you to sleep and then I'll text you first thing tomorrow morning." Kristen whispered, kissed Sophia's forehead, and got up.He was in Sophia's house right now and it was almost night. He had a lot to do and he wasn't supposed to be here but Sophia was running a fever and he had to stay with her for a while.As he was about to move, Sophia's frail hands caught his in a grip and he wondered how she knew he was leaving. When he kissed her forehead just now, she was fast asleep."Please stay with me, I can't sleep without you," Sophia uttered with her eyes still closed.Kristen sat back down on the bed and after a while, Sophia fell asleep. He tried to sneak out of the room again, but he heard Sophia say another, "Please, Kristen, don't leave me. I feel so cold and lonely."Kristen shrugged and got under the covers with her. A night of cuddling with her was going to not harm right?Despite that he had a lot of things he wanted to do that night, he decided to sh
Sophia walked along the lonely hallway of Kristen's house and at some point she almost stumbled and fell but then, she helped herself by holding her weight against the supporting wall.Her friend, Anabelle had left and immediately after, the feeling of depression started kicking in. And just like before, it was damn hard to finish a task without the thoughts of Kristen occupying her mind. Was this really how destructive the power of love could be?It all started with something playful and now, it ended with him being this special person she couldn't get out of her mind.Sophia had no idea whether he was around or not, she had come here with a spare key he had given her in the past.All her mission was to come here and pour out all her heart to him. Tell him that he was the reason she couldn't sleep, eat, or do anything at all. She wanted to tell Kristen that he was leaving her breathless. He was in fact, the air that she breaths, and now that he was away, she was...suffocating.Meanwh
"I'm sorry, Melissa, but we couldn't just be like this forever. I just came to say that I'm sorry for everything that happened over the years." Melissa's mother, Lauren said and Melissa scoffed."How on earth do you want me to do, Lauren? You fucking saw that Dad abandoned us and then you had to leave too, huh?" By now, Melissa was already emotional."Babe, we should have this conversation inside the house," Alex said and touched Melissa's arm, causing her to calm down a bit."Please come in, Lauren." Alex invited her in and then waited for her to fully enter before he shut the door.Melissa's heartbeat and breathing increased and she felt the need to use the restroom.She got up and rushed out and then when she got there, she stared at herself in the mirror before. She splashed some water on her face, still not believing that she was experiencing what really lay out in the sitting room, waiting for her.Melissa really had a bad childhood. Her parents literally abandoned her. While he
Melissa watched Alex and Mia training from afar and she smiled. After Alex found out that she was pregnant, he began to treat her like she was some delicate egg.No matter how hard she had begged to train with them, Alex had refused. Saying that from then on, she was only allowed to do the warming-up exercise and nothing else."Hey, you thirsty?" Alex was beside her before she even blinked. Before she could get her mind wrapped around what was happening, Kristen stretched a can of water to her."I can feel it when you're thirsty.""Alex, can I ask you something?" Melissa made a face until Alex asked, "What's it that you want to ask?" Alex asked as he drank a little water. He had excused himself from the training grounds just to come to be with her. That was the thing with mates. They just couldn't stay apart from each other."I want to go home. I mean, I'll keep falling sick while I'm here and I can't bear the heat and stress. of this place. I suggest that you take me home and then y
