Killian stood beside Alexander, he had been standing for a while without Alex saying a word to him except for him looking at a video on his laptop, something that he did repeatedly."Go to the alphanumerically arranged files and get me the A1 file." Alex instructed and fixed back his gaze on the computer in front of him. He was looking intently at the security footage of a street cam.He raised his face to look at Killian, only to find out that Killian had not moved from the point where he was standing.Alex pinned his gaze on Killian and furrowed his eyebrows.This was the first time he would ask Killian to do something and the young man would just stand, looking into space."Killian, don't just stand there, fucking do what I asked you to do!" Alex rubbed his forehead, hating the fact that he had to shout at the top of his lungs for something to get done."I beg your pardon Alpha." Killian snapped out of his daydream, he didn't even know what Alex had asked for. He knew that if he a
CHAPTER 34 It had been a week now and Melissa was not feeling happy at all that she had no option but to leave for Seattle although she didnt want to.No doubt she was going to do something huge about her restaurant since Kristen even had a hotel in Seattle but she was the type to grow used to and attached to a particular place, plus she was sure going to miss her customers at the restaurant.Taking nothing but a little Mia and a sling bag with her, she walked in the safety of some guards into Kristen's personal helicopter.She waved a brief bye at Kristen who had a glisten in his eyes and the next thing she experienced was the door shutting up.She shut her eyes, hoping that the future was going to be better. At least by the time she was going to come back, the hunt for her must have died down and she myst have made improvements on her business too.Kristen waved back, thinking what a relief it was to know that she was safe with Mia. No strings attached but he wanted Mia mad Melissa
Victoria walked past, swaying her hips as she passed, her expensive perfume reeling off her.As he saw her, Alex sighed, he hated that he had to set his eyes on her first thing this morning - there was simply someone you wouldn't like to see very early in the morning.He was not usually in the office this morning so he wondered how she knew that he was here.Setting his eyes on her well made up face, he decided to wave the mere thoughts of her annoying self aside."What brings you here?" He asked, his tone trying hard to conceal a hint of impatience."Oh, well, I thought you must have missed me. Plus you wouldn't even call me to check up on me, is this how we are going to be compatible mates?" She asked, making an effort to make her tone soft and light.As though seeing through her, he asked. " What do you want? Are you here to say what you found?"Instead of answering him, Victoria scoffed."Come on, you need to get rid of the idea that I am here to only serve you. Remember we'll be
Melissa looked up, startled. She didn't know what exactly was going on.The man who had entered the room, grabbed the phone and threw it to the floor bent down, and checked the phone after which he placed it back on the floor.And just like that, he pulled off his mask. The man behind the mask, who was the man behind the mask?Melissa took two steps backward as she pressed her fingers tightly against her lips.Startled, she shook her head in the negative."No, no, it can't be you, it can't be you, Alex." How did he get in here, how did he get past the tons of security placed to guard her?What did he come to do? Were the questions that loomed in her mind."I told you, didn't I? I will always haunt you, no matter where you run to, I want you to feel that you betrayed me." Alex said, watching as Melissa observed him intently. Melissa drew back as she asked."Why are you here, Alex, what do you want from me?" Melissa fidgeted. Using her other hand, she trailed her fingers on the neares
"Have you met her, wahts the state of things over there?" Kristen asked.He had called Melissa on phone the other time and was talking to her when he heard a loud shriek coming from her and the call cutting off and now he was shit scared.Right now he was sure that the last flight had flown out and sadly enough, his personal driver had called in sick.The only option he had was to send the nearest one of his men to go and meet Melissa. He would have sent the police instead but he just had no choice and he still was not sure what condition Melissa was going to be in at the moment.He sighed, he was going to send the police after he heard a response about Melissa's welfare."She's safe sir and nothing happened to her. Even she said so.""Alright, I'll call you soon."Kristen said. He was going to Seattle himself by the next morning.But the problem was that if Melissa did not answer her phone, then how come she told the man that she was okay and that nothing happened."Alright." He hea
CHAPTER 38"You moved?" Amanda's eyebrows shot up in a quick question. She was too surprised to talk further.She wondered how she was able to get the woman to safety and everyone was stopped in motion except Killian.She knew she had powers to make things happen and she knew she could control things like the rain and sunshine but not this, the Moon goddess hadn't given her the power to stop people from moving.She could vividly remember how it all happened.She was an emotional type of person who could feel the slightest pain with anyone. She couldn't bear staying in the same place where a pregnant human was screaming in agony and not doing anything.She had looked back from where she sat to get the direction the sound came from.Without even thinking of what she could do to help, she had stood up from where she sat and started running to where the woman was yelling her lungs out.She had felt sorry for the woman the most, the reason being that the woman would save lots of energy to
Chapter 39"Glamour beauty is way bigger than I imagined, I won't believe it if you tell me that this was built even in the last two decades."Melissa said as she looked around, admiring the beauty salon.She had come back to Seattle and as she had expected, Kristen mentioned that there was no longer any strange happening in the place.The first place she thought to visit was a beauty salon. Without any one telling her, she had to get herself to maintain her youth.True to its name, the salon really had glamour.Melissa saw hundreds of workers in place, doing one thing or the other.It was either they were fixing a ladies nail, polishing it and the likes of they were simply styling a hair.Melissa fixed her gaze on Amanda, with the way she behaved so humble, no one would believe that such a down to earth lady was the owner of such a big beauty salon."Thats what people say when they get here but I guess I'm lucky to be the owner after all." Amanda shrugged."To what do I owe this visi
Immediately Victoria walked out of the place and banged the door, she slowed down in her steps, she knew her onions too well.Alex could no longer bear to sit transfixed, he stood up from where he sat and started rushing out of his office.He needed to see Victoria before she entered the elevator."Wait!" He panted and stretched out his hand, he had run all the way here.The attention of passing employees were attracted to the scene and this was because they had never seen their CEO running after someone, even much a lady."Is that his girlfriend?" An inquisitive lady asked."Or could it be that it's his wife?" Alex could hear another ask."What if she's his fiancee." Another lady guessed. Alex hated hearing all of this.While they talked, Alex stopped in his tracks and looked around, scaring the shot of everyone.He hated that ye was attracting attention this way but nonetheless it wasn't going to stop him from doing what he was going to do."Get back to work, everyone!" Alex hollere
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
