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
Stepping into the cold, strange yet familiar hallway, Kristen frowned in displeasure. This place was so dusty, that he feared he would sneeze.Being an aristocrat by birth and training, it was taboo to sneeze, cough, or fart when you were with the company. It was one of the unspoken rules in Kristen's family at least."Lights," Kristen said and the lights cane came on instantly. Impressed, his lips thinned out in a smile that didn't reach his eyes.Despite that this place was an abandoned house once inhabited by his family, it was impressive that it still had its technology intact despite lacking maintenance for years.As though reminded of whatever it was that made him come there, Kristen began walking briskly in a particular direction.Keys rattled and old wooden doors shook as they opened one after the other with the master key in his possession.Kristen walked briskly once more and when he got to his destination, he stopped. He looked under a dusty table and sneezed. Something tha
"Let's go in the same car today. I can't be away from you for even a few hours." Alex said to Melissa.Melissa raised her eyebrows, "what about Mia? I have to take her to school in my car. I mean, no one will take her to school if I go with you."Alex stepped forward and placed a light kiss on her cheeks. "Taking Mia to school is not a job only meant for you.""How about you two go in my car? I'll take Mia to school, drive you to your restaurant and then go to my office. You don't have to worry okay, I'll do the same when I'm done with work." Alex said."Alright, that's fine," Melissa said and continued making the pancakes she was making. Pancake was one of Mia's favorites and because Mia had been away from her for a while, Melissa wanted to please her daughter by giving her her favorite."Good morning, Mom and Dad." Mia greeted and ran straight to the dining table. The food had already been served with orange juice and Mia couldn't wait to devour.Alex frowned and then directed his g
Alex looked at his side mirror before looking in front. Three cars surrounded him, leaving only one outlet open to him.Men in black suits began alighting from those three cars after which they began to walk towards Alexander's car.Melissa almost recoiled in fear but then she remembered that she had to be a source of encouragement to Alex. If she was this way, and Alex could read her mind, then it meant that it was possible his fear could spread to her.Without travigating, Alex reversed recklessly, and then with full speed, he ran the car on full speed, taking the lurking enemies by surprise. He had just taken in the opposite direction."Alex, can we...can we fight back just this once?" Melissa asked.Now that she reasoned it, Alex and she were an Alpha and Luna to a pack and yet they couldn't even pair up to finish off those people that were coming after them."Did you ever think I didn't want to fight back all those times, huh? I only wanted to protect you. I can protect and fight
"I'll give you just one chance to live and I don't expect you to mess it up. I'll ask you. Why did you kill Dad." Kristen asked and dipped his both hands into his pants pocket to stop himself from getting his hands on the woman in front of him.His hands shook so badly, that he did know what else to do to keep them to himself.Ellen ignored him and bent down, her eyes so wide oy almost fell off. She picked up one of the pictures and then raised her face to look at Kristen with a death glare. In tremor, Ellen slowly stood up, and when she returned her eyes to her hands, her face turned white like she had just seen blood."Stop. Now. Stop all these Kristen.""And then, I wonder how he must have felt when he found out you were cheating on him. He must have felt bad." Kristen wasn't done talking yet but as he talked, he made sure to keep eye contact with Ellen who looked completely smitten.Ellen trembled till she was only leaving out short gasps of breath."...but little did he know that
"You know, I just figured out that I can't even fight. Compared to my teenage self, I was something else." Melissa said to Alex.Alex turned to look at Melissa, trying to figure out what brought about her statement. "You remember that night in summer. You thought that you protected me but then, I had already beaten those guys to a pulp before you even came. But right now, I don't think I have even a bit of that strength and agility that I had then." Melissa said."You know, that's the strongest and most ambitious during the life of a wolf. Other times, we have to train to be stronger. That's why we train almost always, so we can be abreast with the tactics of our enemies." Alex stated matter-of-factly.That's none of Melissa's fault. There were two phases in the life of a wolf. The first phase starts when they are newly found and transformed into your wolf and the second is when they become mature adults.Most wolves were usually more active and stronger during the times they had new
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
