As Kristen held up his shoulders and positioned his hand to hit the ball and have it land in the hole, he raised his head and swept a glance across the court. Everywhere was growing quiet and the people who came were walking away, most of them going to have drinks and a few, going home.He held the stock higher this time but hit the ball with not so much force and he breathed out in relief while standing to full length when he figured out it had entered the hole.Golf was his favorite game and he found out he never had peace if he had not played it. Maybe it was because it was one of life's pieces in a puzzle.Someone cleared their throat behind him in a way that was a little familiar and he had to look back.He looked around, every single one was gone except a man seated on one of the high stools by the corner.As if waiting for it, immediately Kristen saw him, and he started walking toward him."Hello, talented fellow, I hear you the king of golf." The stranger said, his tone a litt
The next moment, Hermes woke up to find Victoria's body nestled against his and that must be the position they slept off in while he was comforting her."Aren't you going to see your Mom, maybe keep the last details of how she was before she died in your mind? You've been indoors all along." Hermes reminded Victoria. She had been indoors right from last night. She didn't even go to her father to console him about the loss of his mate."I'm strange, right? When I heard she was dead, I was shocked, and then I cried my eyes out but now I don't feel like going to see her. She is some curse because she ruined my life. I wish the moon goddess would charge her for her sins. She turned me into the kind of person I am today. Never satisfied, always wanting what belonged to the others and aiming for what's best even if it's way out of my reach." Victoria said and shook her head in self-pity."What a thing to say about the dead. But I think that whoever you are lies here...." Hermes touched the
After Victoria saw the state her father was in, she felt repulsed at whoever it was that had hurt him.His eyes were bloody and swollen. He had a cut right below the eyes, his lips were burst in a wound she didn't know when he would heal from it.His body was t anything to write home about. She was great for the pack people who had taken him to the pack hospital just in time before he died.She went to him and held his finger. The only finger that escaped getting bruised."Dad, I'm really sorry this had to happen to you. Please take heart, I know you lost your mate and it must be painful right now but I need you to hang in there."Tears and snort were on her eyes and face.She wasn't too shocked when her father slipped his finger away and faced his head the other side, signaling that he didny want her near him. Perhaps, if he had been string, he would have pushed her away.Yes, all her life, she was sure she was not the best daughter anyone could have, but he wasn't the best father ei
Melissa was scheduled for an appointment today, she was supposed to go for an organized interview. She needed to start collaborating with the most influential companies to boost her business and that was exactly what she was about doing this moment.Of course, with the success she had garnered the Best restaurant wasn't just anywhere you could get fast food but it now had one of the biggest not the biggest bakeries in New York.After taking her bath, she slid on a turtle neck top and a leather skirt which she donned with boots.And as always she took Mia to school and dropped her off after which she proceeded to go about her business.Melissa cleared her throat after she was done talking. She had just finished presenting a new recipe and introduced her idea of a convenient meal - spaghetti and meatballs packaged in a canned container that could be eaten anywhere around the world.That was not all, she even introduced some spices she had worked up.Now she looked on in expectancy. It w
Alexander stared at his laptop, almost going mad with the thoughts that forced their way into his head.How the fuck did all these happen and he wasn't even aware of that fact. He thought he had the most reliable information sources and now this was happening under his nose and he didn't even know.He never knew any of the things going on as it was. He never knew that Victoria and Kristen were even close enough to hold a conversation and talk more of an argument.Seriously, he needed to ask Kristen some questions and if he would be interested, warn him to stay away from Victoria because she was as dangerous as a snake. Such a cunning snake she was.She had hit Kristen's table once and it broke apart. It was funny how Kristen was clueless about her source of strength without knowing she was a she-wolf.Alex paused the video when it got to the point where Kristen was talking about Karma."Your parents getting attacked. Your mother getting killed, don't you think this is nemesis, karma,
"Alpha, are you okay? You've been standing there and looking out of space for one hour now." Killian asked, concerned while staring at Alex.Alex didn't move. He simply crossed his hand behind him and sighed."What would you do if you wronged Amanda all your life without even knowing?" Alex swallowed hard and continued."You know you're wrong but you're still asking questions, trying to discover if she was. wrong just because the guilt is eating away at your heart?""If that's what happened then I'd get down on my knees and plead with her and if she doesn't forgive me, I might kill myself. I can't even think of hurting Amanda." Killian said thoughtfully."Right, that's what I'm going to do, beg till my knees wither and kill myself if she doesn't accept me since I can't live in regret all my life.""What?!!" Killian yelled at the top of his voice."I don't mean that, I was only being unserious," Killian said. He turned to Alex but Alex was already trotting out from the room."Oh, my ba
"No, no, fucking no, she can't be my daughter," Alex said and stomped his foot hard on the floor.He brought up his hands to his waist. Each information he was getting was pointing to the fact that he could be the father to Mia.So what if he did a DNA test? Alex wondered why he was afraid of doing a DNA test, the only thing that would determine if he was Mia's father or not. His fingers shook and he fidgeted.The thought that he had hated his daughter crossed his mind and he quickly squeezed his eyes shut.******Hermes paced about the room, pissed about what Victoria was just telling him.She had ordered the guys to stop investigating the cause of her father's death. She wanted to pour all her energy into making Alex, how selfish could she be?Not that he cared much but of course, he had his plans about this and she was soiling it."What? Don't tell me you haven't found the cause of your father's death and punished them accordingly and you're still going after Melissa. Like who the
"What happened when you got there yesterday, did he die or was he saved?" Amanda asked on seeing Killian walk into the house tired. He had spent the night at Alexander's place. She was talking about yesterday when she had told him to hurry to Alexander's place or he would kill himself and now she wished that Alex was alive. The vision she had seen was not a good one.While she waited for him to answer, she helped him keep his suitcase and loosen his tie."It was nothing like what I expected. I was having a little doubt about what you said about him trying to kill himself but I only believed the moment I saw for myself." Amanda nodded in agreement. He was confirming that her vision was right.Talking about her visions. It was weird but she was a gifted witch. Not only did she know the secrets of sorcery and how to perform magic, she also saw visions of what was about to happen in the future. However, it was sad that some people didn't like to heed her words and they only landed in trou
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
