"who is she?what does she have that I don't?"Kate asked Luke tears escaping freely from her eyes.Luke ignored her."how can you choose that tramp over me?"she asked and Luke gritted his teeth in anger."Mind how you talk and stop insulting my mate anyhow before I forget that I once knew who you are"Luke said and everyone's eyes popped open.Kate was more surprised."Mate"she repeated trying to be sure of what she heard."Yes,she is my mate,my destined mate,do you think I would just kiss a random girl in public,she is my mate,the one who completes my soul so I want you to Accord her some respect"Everybody in the living room went silent.they knew that when it comes to mate bond that nothing could be done about it.Kate was speechless."How did this happen, thought you are a hybrid,why did you have a mate"Christiana asked."I am surprised too,I never knew the moon goddess will be benevolent enough to give me a mate,but since I have a mate now ,I will do anything to protect her"he replied
Kate dialed a number immediately on her phone,the person she was calling didn't pick up,she tapped her foot on the ground impatiently waiting for the person to pick up and the person picked up."Hello"she said immediately the call went through."Yes, ma'am what can I do for you?"the person asked."I want you to investigate someone for me"she said.**************Mariana dialed Hector's number but his line wasn't going through,she was already impatient,she needed to talk to Luke.she dressed up and left her room despite the advice of Hector to her not to leave her room..she didn't know where she was going.She entered the elevator and went to the last floor.on her way out,the bodyguard Luke assigned to watch over her secretly in the hotel saw her.he approaches her immediately.Mariana stared at the man infront of him in confusion."Who are you?"she asked."I am the guard the boss Luke kept here to watch over."Mariana couldn't believe her ears"he even assigned someone to watch over"Sh
Many thoughts were running through her mind like"do vampires really exist, thought it only exist in movies"she was so scared that she is going to be raped and killed by a vampire."I can feel your heartbeat,why are you so scared?"Richard asked smirking."What are you?why is your appearance like that?"she asked."It's what you see,am a vampire"Richard replied."Do vampires really exist?"she asked."Yes,of course they exist"Richard replied."How come?"Mariana was shocked with the revelation."Am not here for questions and answering"Richard replied touching her lips with his hands.Mariana already lost hope, nobody was going to save her,she wished her sister well,tears escaping her eyes,she closed her eyes preparing for the worst.Meanwhile Richard and Luke were fighting outside."what's your business with her,this is none of your business"Richard said to Luke."How dare you try to hurt my woman?"Luke asked in a cold tone."Did you just say your woman,as far as I can remember,you were not
In a famous restaurant,Kate is with man who was putting on a black shades."Here is what I found out"the man said handing the file he was holding to her."Is everything here?"she asked."Yes I made sure to arrange everything appropriately in a way that you will understand"he replied."Okay, good job"Kate said typing something on her phone and the man's phone beeped.The man smiled satisfactory when he saw the figures that appeared on his phone."That's why I like working for you madam"he said still smiling."And I will give you more jobs if you do your work properly without any mistakes and also keep your mouth shut"Kate said to the man."Okay madam,that's not a problem"the man replied."Sure,you can enjoy your drink,I will contact you when I have another work for you"she said leaving the restaurant.********Luke extended his hands towards Mariana who was still sobbing,she was traumatized with what happened to her.Mariana stared at his hands that was extended to her,she was not expe
MARIANA'S POV.The room the maid brought me to was perfect,it had all that I ever wanted in a room, somehow the room seemed as though it had been made for me, but at the moment I didn't know what to do or what to feel I was literally loosing my mind I hadn't planned for this.I came to a business trip and not a trip that would endanger my life, I didn't want to die now,my sister needs me, what will happen to her if I die in this country.i regret coming to this trip but I have no choice.I did not know what to do anymore,I felt disgusted when I remembered what happened to me earlier, what would I have done if that filthy creature laid his hands on me.was my mind playing games with me?but I know what I saw, vampires really existed.I ran to the bathroom and turned on the shower allowing the water to pour on me,it helped to calm my nerves but the images of that man kept on appearing in my head,I scrubbed myself very well . to he look on that monster's face I stared at my reflection in th
"what do you want to talk about?"Luke asked Mariana."I wanted to discuss about the incident that happened earlier today"she replied playing with her fingers."what do you want to know about it?"Luke asked staring intently at her."I want to talk about that man that a abducted me,he is strange,were you telling me the truth when you said that he was a vampire,do they really exist?"she asked staring at Luke waiting for him to reply her questions."Do you think am the type of person who jokes around? vampires, witches and werewolves exist but humans are not aware,humans are being manipulated by them"Luke explained to her.Luke sir, Mariana began 'you know that I am asking who exactly my attacker was cause he acted familiar with you' she rounded up.Luke was surprised,he never knew that Mariana saw him with Richard that day."Are you surprised that I saw you two that day?"Mariana asked when she saw the look on Luke's face."Well I saw everything that happened that day,I was just too shock
Mariana was left alone,she thought about her actions and she realized that she made a mistake by blaming her predicament on Luke.She remembered everything Luke did for her since she met him and her heart ached.she regretted talking to him the way she did.she held her head,her head was in turmoil.she needed to apologize to Luke for how she acted.Thinking about her sister,she realized that she hasn't heard from the hospital in a while now.she picked her phone and dialed the doctor's number and the call went through immediately."Hello Miss Mariana,I haven't seen you for a while now,I was even planning to call you before you did, hope everything is alright"the doctor said to her.""yes, everything is alright,I was too busy lately that I forgot to tell you that am on a business trip with my boss to Australia"Mariana said to the doctor who was surprised.wowww was the only word that came out of the doctor's mouth."so how is my sister doing?"she asked."well talking about your sister,tha
"it's a long story but I will make it short for you"the maid said to her and Mariana nodded staring at her waiting for her to answer her question."My family was attacked and everyone was killed,I was the only one that survived the incident"Mariana was touched with her story,she regretted asking the maid about it,she made the maid to remember about her past."I am so sorry for making you to remember this part of your life"Mariana said to the maid."it's nothing,I am not affected about it anymore""you must be a strong woman"Mariana said to the maid but the maid ignored her and continued with her story."I had no home,I had no family,I had no shelter,I had no place to go,it was during this tough moment in my life that Sir Luke found me,he took me in,he gave me a shelter,I stayed here"Mariana'sip curled up into a smile."he is a good man, isn't he?""Yes,no matter how he acts,I know there is a goodness in his heart and I can never betray him,no matter what happens"The maid stated."Hav
The next day, Mariana opened her eyes slowly and she found herself on the bed with her clothes changed.She remembered sleeping in his car,he must have been the one that brought her home.She covered her body with her arms thinking Leon had something to do with her change of clothes.Just then,the door clicked open and her sister Emiliana came in with a tray of food."Good morning"Emiliana greeted as she kept the table on her bed in front of her."Good morning sis,"Mariana said to her."A good looking man brought you home yesterday and your dress was soaked in water so I had to change your clothes for you so you won't catch a cold"Emiliana said to her and she heaved a sigh of relief.Emiliana brought out a tablet and gave it to her."Drink it now,it's medicine for the cold,I don't want you to fall sick"she said to Mariana who drank the medicine immediately.After eating the food brought to her by Emiliana, Mariana thanked Emiliana who smiled at her."Anything for you sis"Emiliana said.
Mariana continued crying till tears couldn't come out of her eyes again.Alex's body had turned white and he wasn't recognizable again.Luke didn't want to talk to her that day because he was still trying to process everything that happened but he couldn't ignore her because his wolf wasn't at rest seeing that she was out in the rain and she might catch a cold if she stayed out for long.He stepped out of the car and his guard put an umbrella above him but he took it from him and walked towards Mariana.He put the umbrella above her and Mariana looked up to see him looking at her."We should go home before it gets late,"Luke said to her, breaking the awkward silence between them."We will take his body with us"Mariana said and Luke sighed heavily."There is no need for that,his body will disperse,vampires are not buried"Luke said to her but Mariana didn't agree with him."I don't want that to happen,I want him to be buried, that's the only thing I can do for him"Mariana said to Luke."
As soon as Mariana reached there,she held Alex while tears were escaping her eyes and flowing down her cheeks while soaking her cloth.She stared at Alex with her already red eyes."Please don't leave me,"she pleaded.Alex stared at her with a calm Expression on his pale face.he was finding it hard to breathe and he was already weak as life was leaving him.He tried to free himself from her hold but Mariana held him tightly crying."Ana,you never loved me,my love for you ended me"Alex said in a cracked voice."I am sorry Alex but we can talk things out, please hang in there,I will call the ambulance"she said to him.A sad smile formed on Alex's face.he didn't know that Mariana still cared about him like this after what he did to her,he thought she would be happy about what happened to him but she still cared.he felt pain in his heart as a feeling of guilt took over his being.It's not only Luke's wolf that was hurt and filled with jealousy but Luke was too.he felt a sharp pain in his
He pushed Mariana into the car before sitting on the driver's seat.he inserted the key into the car,he started the car but it was not moving.he tried and tried but the car didn't make a move."Fuck"he cursed hitting his hands on the dashboard.He took his gun and alighted from the car to check what was wrong, that's when he saw that the tires of the car were flat.He knew this would be Luke's doing.he turned to Luke but before he knew what was going on,the gun he was holding was knocked away from his hand.Everything happened so fast,he was sent flying to the other side and he landed on the ground.He stood up after catching his breath,he looked to see Luke and his men surrounding him.he knew Luke was a smart man but he didn't know he would pull a fast one on him like this.he knew this was the end.it was many against one."Don't be a coward and stop hiding behind your men, face me"Alex said to Luke.Luke had a serious Expression on his face,he was fed up with Alex,he crossed the line
Mariana was filled with joy on seeing that Luke was safe and sound.Luke was very happy seeing that he came on time before Alex could do anything to her.he felt butterflies in his stomach when he saw the way she was smiling happily at him,his wolf was filled with joy.Alex knew that he was no match for Luke and he wouldn't escape here easily and it was possible that he came with his men.he thought of what to do since he came here alone with Mariana and he was on the losing side.An idea popped into his mind, he would use Mariana as a way to escape.Seeing that Luke was distracted,his eyes turned red,his fangs appeared and his vampire long sharp claw emerged.He grabbed Mariana by the hair immediately and Mariana yelped in pain because of the force in which he grabbed her.Luke's eyes turned golden immediately with anger because of how Alex was mishandling his mate.He tried to rush towards Alex but his words stopped him."Take another step and she will become a dead body"Alex warned,hi
"When you were sick,I gave Mariana a watch which had a tracker in it so that if something bad happens to her,I will be able to find her,"Hector said to Luke."What if she is not wearing the watch now?"Luke asked him."I will try to track her, this can be able to help us,let's hope she is wearing the watch"Hector said to Luke."Be fast about it"Luke ordered him before the call ended.Luke's expression was cold as he drove to Alex's house.he just hoped that Alex didn't do anything bad to Mariana.Soon he was in Alex's house,he asked the maids and security about the whereabouts of Alex and they all told him that he hasn't come back.He believed them because he didn't perceive Mariana's scent.He entered his car to drive away when he received Hector's call."I found them,"Hector said to him immediately."Send me the address"Luke said to him before the call ended.soon a message popped up in his phone.He entered his car immediately and stepped on the accelerator.********Meanwhile in a r
Luke was very worried,he drove at a fast speed to Ic corporation followed by his guards behind.As soon as he arrived in Ic corporation,he stepped out of his car in a rush into the company.no one stopped him from coming inside as soon as they recognized who it was.no one wanted to get into trouble or provoke him.Alex's secretary wanted to stop him as soon as he got to Alex's floor but she restrained herself immediately as soon as she saw who it was.Luke headed straight to Alex's office,he pushed the door but it didn't open.he was very angry,he could perceive the scent of Mariana here.He turned angrily to his guards who have been trying to catch up to his pace since he arrived in the country."Break this door down"he said to them and they headed towards the door to carry out his orders.the secretary watched as she couldn't do anything to stop them.she knew Luke was more powerful and dangerous than her boss Alex but her boss was more heartless and brutal.she didn't know what to do,Al
Few minutes later,Luke arrived in the country with his men.Hector had stayed behind to take care of Kate's matter.As soon as he stepped down from the jet,his wolf became restless.he was in pain."Mate"his wolf whispered.he thought of what the problem was,is Mariana in danger?he thought to himself.his hands searched through his pocket immediately and he brought out his phone.he dialed Mariana's number but it was switched off.he became more worried immediately.He called Hector immediately to know about the guard he said was protecting Mariana but he didn't pick up his phone."Damn it"he said with gritted teeth.He took the car key from one of his guards Immediately.he entered the car and drove away at a fast speed with the guards who were confused following his car behind.Few minutes later,he arrived at Mariana's house.he alighted from the car and rushed to her apartment.he knocked on the door but no one answered.he was very anxious as he knocked again.He was relieved when he heard
"You made me go through so much pains and torture just because of your mate"she said to him."Looking at you,I don't know what punishment will be enough to quench the anger I am feeling towards you right now. The minute you tried to harm my mate,you became an enemy and you should be treated like one,"Luke said to her."I almost died because of your foolishness,"he said to her."I am sorry,I only did it because I love you so much,I was very jealous of her"Kate said to Luke."Don't apologize to me,"Luke said to her."I don't know what else to do with you,but this is my last warning,stay away from me and my mate because I won't spare you next time"he said to her before leaving.Tears rolled down Kate's cheeks.she didn't know what to do.Luke was angry with her and she didn't want that.she knew Luke well and knew that he didn't spare his enemies,he cared about her by not doing anything very bad to her,he only slapped her.The door closed and she was locked in darkness again."What should w
