"Isn't it high time you get out of my car?" Kristen asked and then scoffed. He couldn't believe that the strange girl had entered his car and hadn't gotten off yet even up till this moment, instead, she had fallen asleep in his car.The lady didn't budge and right then, Kristen had no other choice but to shake her awake from her sleepy state."Yeah?" "Where are you gonna get off?" He asked and instead of answering the lady looked down at her fingers and pouted slightly."When I ran into you, I was being chased by some really bad men for stealing the first lady's jewelry. It's a limited edition brand from Paris and the first lady seems to love it so much."Stealing of the first lady's jewelry. That talk sounded interesting. Kristen thought to himself that maybe he could use some company. "Did you steal it and if not why are they pursuing you?""Yeah, I did steal it but the real situation is that I'm going to be punished if return it.""So what are you going to do now, thwyre gonna co
"Thank you so much for doing this for me. This means a lot to me and I couldn't have done this without you." Sophia said and disengaged from the hug."There's nothing there in helping someone when you have the means, it's all our way of helping humanity," Kristen said and smiled. She was so happy and grateful that her friend's mother's bills had been paid.All of a sudden, Sophia's stomach grumbled and she unconsciously rubbed it. She bit her lip and turned around in embarrassment but Kristen pulled her to face him."Why don't we go eat somewhere since we feel hungry."Sophia shyly cleared her throat."You've done a lot for me already and I won't like to be a burden anymore.""Alright, why don't you think that I might like some company? And let's say I want to eat too, so I insist." Kristen said and Sophia smiled shyly while tucking back the fallen strands of her hair behind her ear."Let's...let's go then," Sophia said lightly. For him not to see her reddened cheeks, she tried to qui
Victoria knelt before the great Dalton, her head bowed and her hands tied between her legs. It wasn't like her hands were tied but it was more glued."What brings you to my abode to disrupt my peace? Are you some passing rogue that's here to gather information? Answer me, young lady, are you a spy?"Victoria bent her head the more. "No my Lord, I am no spy, neither have I come to pry upon the precious information of Blood Crescent pack. I am only here for you, my master and Lord."Alpha Dalton creased his eyebrows as he narrowed his eyes at her. What did she mean by she cane for him?"What exactly did you mean when you said that you cane for me?" Dalton asked, throwing the question straight at Victoria.In that instant Victoria shrugged off her shawl and pulled down the only piece of clothing in her which was an easily removable dress, leaving her bare before Alpha Dalton. The only thing she had on was her underthings.Seduction was her weapon now that she had not much left and she wa
"We have found her." Hermes picked up his call only to hear his right-hand man say.What the heck was the young man even saying? They had been searching all around for the bad bitch, Victoria but they were just finding her now. Maybe this was the time that she wanted to show herself. Because he couldn't find any fucking explanation for this."Come on, spill. Is there more to this?" Hermes thought there could be more to this than meets the eye because Victoria couldn't just go missing and pop out of nowhere without a plan in her thick skull."Yes sir, we've found her but she's more powerful than you can imagine right now. She's found herself a support system. The last time we went to bring her to you, we lost all of our men and I was the only survivor." The man said and Hermes was glad he didn't feel overwhelmed. Whatever tactics Victoria was coming up with, then he was sure to overcome it this time around.Hermes sighed inwardly. In as much as he wanted to be hard on his right-hand m
It was already a week after Mia was discharged from the hospital. Thanks to the moon goddess, Mia didn't die or get any one of her important organs destroyed by that dangerous substance. Melissa hadn't yet found who it was that poisoned Mia but she knew it was a thing of the past. She was going to find such a person eventually. She made sure that Mia didn't take anything from anyone.Melissa had already taken Mia to school for that day and she was now home alone. Melissa remembered Kristen and all the good things he did for her and she felt like going to pay him a visit. She decided that she was going to call him in the evening once she was done with whatever she was doing before evening. Also, Kristen would be back from work by the time she would call him or even go to visit.She began packing and cleaning her utensils and when she was done, she picked up a big watering kettle, filled it up with water, and went towards her little garden.Melissa reared small tomatoes and strawberri
Kristen stared at Sandra, not only was she smart but witty too."Kristen, you told her that?" Sophia asked her eyes widening like Kristen had done the wrong educating to Sandra."Alright Sandra, how about you be a good girl and go do your assignment and I'll get you good ice cream," Sophia said and that immediately got Sandra's legs walking."That's my nephew, she likes ice cream," Sophia said and Kristen gave out a half smile.Then the thought came nagging in Kristen's mind, about her father."You know my Dad always got me ice cream when I was little and I thought he didn't do me much favor." "Well, my Dad too..." Sophia was saying when she stopped all of a sudden as though she was contemplating saying anything about her father. "Yeah, you were saying something about your Dad?" Kristen raised his eyebrows."Yeah, when I was still close to my father as a child he not only got me ice cream but everything that I wanted. I didn't lack anything to say.""There was a time you were close
Alexander had now completely reconciled with Melissa and he was sure she didn't hold any grudge against him. But then Alexander could remember that she wasn't the only one whom he had wronged. There was Hermes too."I ordered pizza for lunch. I didn't plan on having any other food before you came." Melissa said, looking a bit apologetic. Melissa hadn't been frequenting her restaurant like she used to, she could guess that seeing Alex fall right off that cliff had really drained her energy."I guess I'm gonna eat the pizza too, you know," Alex said, after which they turned to the television.For now, all they had was popcorn on one hand and orange juice on the other.Occasionally, Alexander would stop his attention to the television and shift it to Melissa's face as though he wanted to say something to her.After a while, he made up his mind to talk to her about what was bothering him."Can I ask you a favor, Melissa?""Yeah, go ahead," Melissa replied and turned to look at him."I've w
"Honey, trust me, she's someone you don't wanna know." Hermes managed to explain without stuttering.He wouldn't have had any atom of fear within him but for the fact that Ashley was in danger, he didn't want to put any atom of fear in her."What do you mean? She literally talked like someone who knew you for so long."Ashley narrowed her eyes at him in suspicion for the first time in their fated lives before furrowing her eyebrows. "Does this in any way mean that she has something with me not traveling? Answer me, Hermes!" For the first time, Ashley's voice was sharp and she had some awful pain building up in her throat from forcing back the unshed tears."There's no need to get too emotional, Ashley. All these is gonna be resolved too soon and before you know it, you'll be fine, okay?"He expected Ashley to just nod like she used to do but she didn't. He could guess that when it came to your issues concerning women, mates were really a bit more sensitive and speculative."Let's go, A
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
