NATHANIEL'S POVI TURNED around to see who it was and when our eyes came in contact with each other the hatred we both had for each other was glaring.Guns and other weapons were pulled out and by other weapons I was talking about the cross bows and every other thing that they used in hunting .In my view that had been the problem, The inability of the Hunter's to treat us supernaturals with the same respect we had given to them.This same lack of respect was the cause of this dispute that was about to go down and so so many others.Being a Werewolf meant having everything, it is actually supposed to be having what I wanted, and once I did get it, what is all left are what was practically his already. In summary I was used to having what I wanted.Lorenzo rolled the cigarette he was holding in between his middle fingers as we looked deep into each other's eyes. For a minute I wondered what I was doing talking to the man I hated most in the world."I asked that we meet discreetly bu
OLIVIA'S POVTwo months later…I wobbled through the kitchen carrying a plate of freshly cooked bacon, for a minute I looked out of the window at the sun that was already high up in the sky and casting its light over the cottage in the heart of trees and shrubs.It was the cheapest we could find and I had no problem paying, especially after Mike had fulfilled his promise of hacking the card and transferring the money to an anonymous account.At first I had this fear of spending the money after he had delivered the card but as the cost of staying at the hotel was ramping up we had no choice than to find a new place to stay.Jane was out mostly, I could ask for more as she had done more than what friends did for each other. Obviously, she couldn't go back home because my father might be looking for her as well but all this wouldn't have happened if I had not dragged her into my problem.I felt like I owed her for life and wondered if it was a debt I can ever pay off completely.I stil
NATHANIEL'S POVIf there was anything I despised more than anything over the last couple of weeks it definitely had to be "The Witches."The Witches had been at war with the werewolves ever since the genesis of the supernaturals.I might not have had a good reason to dislike themin the beginning, but after meeting Lorenzo, after he had briefed us about the witches , and after I had done my own personal findings, I now had a substantial motive to immensely dislike them.The whys of it all didn’t matter.I sat cross-legged on the first-class section of the plane, sipping a cup of decaffeinated coffee with a magazine on the table.Alexis was right beside me dozing off after a long conversation with Jane about the hotel we would be staying at when we arrived.It was surprising to me that what I had considered a one night fling for him had gone into a full blown dating.Jealous of him? Maybe.Happy? Certainly.My best friend and would be best man some day had the worst reputation of any m
OLIVIA'S POVEVENINGS near the edge of the wood was a very beautiful picturesque to see, it came with inspiring fresh green grasses and trees.I was ore used to living in a Mansion surrounded by artificial trees but this was more breathtaking as I could touch the energy of any other living thing around if I wanted toI heard the sound of keys from the pouch outside and knew immediately that she was back after the long hours of being away.She had woken up early that morning and had a quick bath before dashing out. I was asleep then but only awakened to see the note she left on the table ."I went to the airport to pick up our boys and will be back soon." She ended the note with a kiss.No one was more excited at the thought of Alexis and Nathaniel arriving than Jane. I could understand the feeling when you've stayed away from sex for the last couple of months.She walked into the room as I pretended to be fast asleep, when she paused by my side I could feel the heat from her eyes
NATHANIEL POVLiving a few distances away from Olivia was a hard thing to do.And I am not over her yet.Those two conclusions flickered in my mind illuminating the ignorance that had taken the place of my heart.Sleeping last night had almost been impossible, for an unknown reason the thought of Olivia kept recurring in my mind.The night was lit by scented candles and the sparkling orange lights above the room, and still with all the comfort the room offered I still was not able to sleep.The atmosphere seemed to be easy enough, though that was possibly because the sun here was a little bit more mild than the one at home.I heard a knock on the door, I tried guessing who it was before reaching the door and I decided it was either Alexis or …It most definitely had to be him, I said opening the door.My gaze found a blond by the door with a bottle of red wine in her hands. I had seen her the previous day talking to one of the ladies that worked at the hotel and had seen her look ba
NATHANIEL'S POVIT was merely a question yet it did a lot to cause my heart to quake heavily as I searched my heartfor the rightful answers."Was I in love with her?" I asked myself deep down despite the fact that I knew the answers to my questions already.The thought of what the answers might be was causing my heart to rumble, Or was it from the fear that whatever I was feeling she couldn't match it effect toe to toe?Amy saw my hesitation to answer her questions, she watched as I attempted to drown wherever I wanted to say with a gulo of sweet- sour red wine.That was what the answer to her question did to me, created a sweetness as it filtered through my ears in a melodious music yet as it settled on my heart it created a sour feeling sort of."I have the answers to my questions already." Amy said, chuckling. "So if you love her this much what is stopping you from going to her .""I don't know what you are talking about, I never admitted to loving her.""Yes, you didn't but your
OLIVIA'S POVNATHAN child growing in my womb seemed to take everything out of me.First it had been my period, then it disrupted my eating habits and now I had to deal with my driven emotions.The baby was ripping every bit of emotions out of me and I could very much go crazy.I stared at my swollen foot as I rested it on a soft cushion.To say it is an eyesore would be an understatement, cause it was more than that and the fact that all these things had to come naturally.At times it bothered me. I had to carry the burden alone, I had to admit that the child craved the presence of his father on my occasions but there was nothing I could do about it.It was just like my brain was refusing to listen to the cravings I was having budding up inside, my heart was whispering this craving yet my stubborn mind was adamant on going through all this alone."Who Needs A Man."I said aloud reading out the title from a chapter I had been skimming through over the last couple of days.I had picked
NATHANIEL'S POV.IF we got a penny each for the whole time we stayed quiet we would most certainly be richer men.We were driven by a hired driver, so it was only Alexis and I, two long time friend's engulfed in a plague of thoughtful silence.I was desperate to know what he was thinking. As I could see the way his face was puzzled looking all gloomy and very unhappy at wherever he was thinking about.What could it be ?Was he having trouble with Jane? . I thought to myself looking out the window to the other side.The driver had one hand on the wheel, with the sun glinting off his dark shades blocking off the rays from the sun glittering far ahead of us.The only words Alexis said all through the trip has been when he joked to mw about the driver being blind behind those glasses he had been wearing.It was a good thing the driver had taken it off once when he wanted to refill the fuel. Only when we were able to comfirm that he had not actually been blind.The car soon starts sl
NATHANIEL POV.It was written in the stars that all of this would happen, meeting Olivia falling in love, running …but at times in life, there is always a twist .That twist—that moment when the unexpected happens and this was just that point in life.When Jane had told us everything, it was shocking to everyone that had listened.I could never have been more proud about this period in time, this time when for once in the race we had an upper hand.Her father was never going to see one coming—Wizard, Warlock or whatever he is—this was beyond what would ever happen.The moon glowed upon us full in all its glory overhead from where we stood. It was the moment we had been waiting for all this while as we trooped out.Two vans drove behind the SUV that was driven by the only one among us that had a sound mind —Alexis.To Her father her was leading me to right where he wanted, but that plan had been turned in my favor and was coming right after him."Take the right turn." Jane leaned in o
OLIVIA'S POVI reopened my eyes again, realizing I was still in this place. What exactly do they want from me? They took my son, now they are doing the same thing to me.I was tied against a chair and I tried hard to fight against the ropes used to tie me tightly. I didn't even have an inch to move my hands from the position it has been tied, the way the rope was tied so tightly.I looked around and realized the room was still the same way, dark with someone sitting at the corner. I gritted my teeth as I saw him sitting there, looking at me with an evil smirk on."So you're finally awake again." He said and I acted like I didn't even see him there. It was obvious he wasn't the one behind this. I can't believe the oh so mighty him was working for someone.It would be believable if I didn't know the kind of man he was. He must have something to gain in return. I heard the creaking sound of the door and I looked at the door.A feminine figure stepped into the room and for once I didn't w
NATHANIEL'S POVThe Good thing about everything was that it touched me in a way that I had never been touched and changed me.It changed my mindset and everything that came with it and left me with this insane mind.I paced around the room, my footsteps hard across the floor. My mind was not in the right frame to think straight. I paced back and forth the parameters of the room, Olivia had always talked about auras and I had taken it as a joke on those few occasions.But not this time…The whole aura was telling me Something was not right, I could feel it.I had taken my wolf on a run twice, pacing the wood in my half animal state but all that had done for me was to increase incessantly the pace at which my heart was going at.How could I deal with all of this?How could I deal with the madness that was roaming through my mind?I had gotten this feeling twice in my entire life: The night my father died and the night we trailed Olivia and Jane.Staring out at the vastness of the univer
OLIVIA'S POVFar away from home, in the gutter and slumps of the underworld I could feel my shoulder retracting back into my body, slowly I gained consciousness again looking round at the now empty room.One would hear my heart beat even from a mile away.I felt a sharp pain from somewhere in my head and as I reached instinctively to where I felt the pain was coming from, I noticed I was restrained.Fuck…I had done everything without thinking venturing into this place that was enough to be called a den of death, it was frustrating for me as well as other things that were roaming through my mind.Naive…that was what I felt like, a part of me wished I had told him before leaving but I knew what he would have said, he most probably would have said something about us waiting and acting later.I didn't have that much patient in me, and in a way it had resulted in this.I tried to get away from the chair but saw that my father or perhaps one of his guards had done a good job with the rope
OLIVIA'S POVI felt like dying at this point, knowing that my son was out there in the hands of a monster.Who knows what they're doing to him? Is he being tortured? What do they want? Why haven't they asked for ransom yet?This is getting scarier than ever and it's so unfortunate that I can't do anything to salvage this matter."Hey, you have to calm yourself down, take it easy on yourself, our son would return safely into our hands" Nathaniel uttered as he placed his hands on my shoulders."You seem so sure about it, heads up first we don't know who took our son, secondly we don't know where he is, thirdly the police we called haven't found him yet? And lastly we don't know what the poor lad is going through in the hands of those monsters...." I stood up, red hot in my anger and I cared less about who I was venting it out on."You have to be calm" Nathaniel was getting me pissed with his solicitous behavior and it was getting on my last nerves."Don't you make mention of that word a
NATHANIEL'S POVI had just spoken to the detectives and came down to only one conclusion: men do feel pain.A very intense pain.Whoever said real men don't feel pain needed to be rechecked cause I could feel every bit of it at this moment.It was a more devastating period for me as a father as much as it was for my mother as the term manhood doesn't signify my inability to feel this much painI never hated in my life but at that moment I felt a kind of hatred for anyone that caused me this much pain.They said hate changed the whole outlook of someone’s, it made them ruthless, it made them bitter, It made them reckless.Hate killed its host but by bit slowly consuming it's soul till nothing was left of the person but in spite of all this I couldn't bring myself to come to terms with not hating the culprit.It could consume my soul for all I know, but I didn't care, I had never let myself hate because I loved to live but when it came down to deciding if I was to lay down my life fo
NATHANIEL'S POVI don't know who it was that took Neil but he must have had something to do with someone on the inside, if not, the culprit wouldn't be able to get in.Neil's room was one of the most secured in the whole building and the fact that someone was able to come in and kidnap my son without any of those foolish guards noticing?They should all rot in the pit of torture …there was a chance I would give them a chance to speak but definitely not now.The rules were I was going to give them a chance to explain themselves on how this ever happened in front of the council and if found guilty then their mates would never hear from them again."Alpha…" Alexis was about to call out to me but I shut him up with a death glare and he gulped gently before continuing his speech. "The guards on duty are already tied up."I looked back at Olivia who was now sitting with Jane s next to her and consoling her.I wanted to assure her that Neil was fine but she wouldn't believe till she saw
OLIVIA'S POVA cold sweat drifted through me. Disaster loomed in the distance and there was nothing I could have done to avert it and now it was here, settling right here and leaving me with the most complicated feeling.It was an hour counting and despite sweating and feeling the whole heat, we had not still been able to reverse the spell.More blood trickled down the nose of another young boy. Young, lifeless eyes. As he laid in the ground dead.It wasn’t going to happen again…I pulled myself out of the seat where I had been sitting criss-crossed and headed toward the frontof the house, ignoring the itch to go in the opposite direction.I felt the need to get closer to him before I could try the magic one more time, my body buzzed with a cool sensation showing that I had more energy.My bare feet paused at the end of the walkway.I stood there for a while soaking in the pressurewhile my heart beat a mile a minute.Jane walked toward where I was in the middle of the room, When my
OLIVIA'S POVFear.I had always asked myself what my biggest fear in life would be and most of the times, I had gotten no answers to my questions.Maybe it was a way of life trying to redirect my thoughts, or perhaps I was scared of the actual truth.It was all down to fear—Fear to admit the truth that of all things I feared most in this life, making the top of the list was losing a loved one..I could take every single form of pain but definitely not that, there was no way I could deal with it and so at that moment.The moment I had opened the door to my baby room and found it empty I was consumed by a murderous type of fear.One that came nibbling right at my soul leaving nothing behind.A piercing shriek filled the room and I wondered whose was it, I was dumbfounded so I guess the scream was not from me.I stood there unable to move or say a word as it looked to me like it was all a type of dreak and I was right in the middle of it all.The sound of my voice kepr playing back iny h
