"What's this in clause 5, this wasn't added here the first time." Kiara pointed out as her eyes carefully kept scanning the contract to check if there was anything that had been changed other than what she had earlier asked to be changed."Mr Aiden made it clear that we offer him this if he was going to agree to what you earlier stated."Kiara pursued her lips, thinking about what he had just said. Although the Clause wasn't going to have so much effect on the contract there was nothing so special or suspicious about it, but still, she felt a bit of uneasiness staring at it. What was Aiden up to when he added this?"If you would like us to proceed, then I can send the contract back immediately, and you can head there as soon as possible. As I told you earlier, this is a matter of urgency, and therefore, there's a need for an urgent response."Kiara didn't utter a word as she was still staring at the contract. There was no need to rush because she was doing this for herself. She knew w
"Are you sure this is right? I mean what if Doctor Karla finds out? She has every right to end the contract once she does." Cass uttered, but Aiden didn't say a word to him immediately. He simply sat on his throne, staring at his phone with a really bad feeling creeping through his mind."Cass, when is she supposed to arrive?" Aiden questioned again even though Cass had already answered that question about 3 minutes ago."In a few hours. I got a message from the hospital saying doctor Karla was on her way and would be here soon."Aiden rose to his feet, "Apart from you and I, who else knows I'm getting a doctor?" The look on Aiden's face told Cass that something was wrong. Whenever Aiden had that look, then Cass knew it meant something was going to happen, or that he was afraid."What's wrong, Alpha?""Where's Blake? Call him immediately!" Aiden instructed. As Cass turned around to leave, Aiden suddenly called him back, "No, wait! I trust you more, Cass. Go to the airport and keep an
A FEW HOURS LATER: Kiara opened her eyes slowly. Her vision was blurry at first so it took her a while to be able to see properly. When she was back to her senses, she rose from the bed and gasped,"My children…. Lisa, oh my goodness, where…" There was a figure standing close to the window with his back turned on her. "Where am I? Where the hell are my kids?" Kiara repeatedly questioned, but the moment he turned around to face her, the expression on her face changed."Aiden??" Kiara called out loud and scoffed. "What the hell are you doing… did you?" Then she guessed he must have been the one who kidnapped her earlier. All Kiara was worried about was her kids and Lisa. She rose to her feet and began walking towards him,"Where are they? Where are my kids?" She questioned, but Aiden was quiet. He couldn't take his gaze off her, and Kiara could see the look of regret in his eyes, but she cared less about it. All she wanted was to get the fucking hell out of the mansion as soon as poss
It took some time but soon, Aiden was stable once again. As soon as Cass stepped out of the ward, Kiara rushed towards him. "Aiden, how's Aiden?" She questioned worriedly, clutching her hands tight and trying not to go insane."He's stable now," Cass stated, making Kiara heaved deeply."What happened Cass? I mean what's happening to him? I have never seen such sickness before."Cass was silent for a minute, then he recalled what Aiden had said to him a few minutes ago. He didn't want Kiara to know what was happening to him, and he didn't want her pity as well."Aiden's fine, Kiara. He had been working so hard lately and maybe the effects were very serious." Cass lied and waited for Kiara's expression, but she only nodded her head,"Can I see him?" Kiara questioned, but he shook his head in negation, and replied,"He's asleep now, I think he needs a lot of rest." Not knowing what to say again, Kiara simply nodded her head and was about to leave when Cass took her hand, "Kiara, the pac
Putting the last touch on her hair with a band, Kiara reached for her bag and stared at herself in the mirror. She always preferred to look very simple.She was dressed in royal blue jeans, a black tank top, and a white pair of sneakers. Her hair was styled in a ponytail, and her face had only a little powder and some red shiny lipstick. Breathing heavily, Kiara spoke some words of encouragement to herself. She had an appointment with Aiden today, and right now, she was so nervous for no reason.There was a gentle knock on the door before it opened."Ohhhh, someone's all dressed up and looking pretty. Don't tell me you're all dressed up because you're going to see the Alpha King?" Lisa questioned leaving a mischievous smile that made Kiara roll her eyes playfully,"Stop joking around, Lisa, I'm just tryna do my work, okay? Now, I've got to go, else I'd be late.""And someone's in a hurry."Kiara chuckled and began to walk away, "Stop kidding girlfriend." She yelled, taking the stairs
"What's wrong, Blake?" Aiden questioned immediately."There was an attack on some members of the pack, and most of them were injected with poisonous substances." Immediately Aiden heard this, he rose to his feet. "Gather the soldiers immediately, and ensure a safe house for every member that was injured during the attack."Blake nodded his head and ran out of the room, while Kiara didn't move because she couldn't believe what she had just heard. What the hell was happening? Kiara thought, staring at Aiden as he struggled to rise to his feet."What's happening?""Nothing. It's nothing I can't handle." Aiden responded, but Kiara wasn't going to take that as an answer to her question. She rushed towards Aiden and grabbed his arm,"Tell me what the hell is happening? Look at you, you can't go out there else you're gonna collapse. When I checked your pulse earlier, you were weak, Aiden so I guess it's best if you stay put and let Blake handle everything."Aiden slowly removed her hand fro
"Tell me what the fuck happened, Cass. How come rogues were able to attack the outskirts of my pack?" Aiden yelled so loud, not minding the fact that he was still very sick and weak. Seeing his pack in danger right there, and seeing all those people suffering as a result of the poison was fucking hard.Right that same minute, the door opened and Blake stepped in lowering his head to greet Aiden."Alpha, the Dark Sky pack left a message. The rogues are not only attacking our pack, but theirs too, and other packs around the eastern and northern zones. We need to get that treaty done as soon as possible so that other packs can know who their enemies are."Aiden wrecked his hands through his hair, knowing fully well that the alpha of the dark sky pack was only trying to get him out there. Many people would begin to think something was going on with him because for a year plus, he had been unable to go to war or to stop the rogues who were attacking.He wrecked his fingers into his hair on
Kiara curled her hands, staring at her phone. She scoffed aloud and turned around to walk back into the house since there was no need to go to the palace. Aiden didn't need her so who was she to bother herself with him?As she took a step, she halted just immediately and heaved deeply. Whatever she had felt this morning was very much strange and she had to find out if Aiden was alright.Kiara clutched her phone tight, thinking about what to do. Why the hell could she not let herself stop thinking about him after what she had seen yesterday? She turned around again and began to walk down the hill, heading straight for the roadside to find a cab. It was now she had to overcome her fear and get into one."Taxi." Once the car halted, she swallowed hard and got in, slowly shutting the door. The driver ignited the engine and drove away afterward.It took about an hour and the can halted. As Kiara stepped down, she outstretched her hand and handed him a few dollar bills with some change. "T
A FEW WEEKS LATER} {CHICAGO 5:40 PM} “I sincerely never stopped loving you Taylor, I never stopped remembering everything we shared, not until you changed. And I'm grateful for everything.” Blake uttered as stood straight up while his gaze was still fixed on the ocean. “l know you still loved me but I'm sorry I couldn't give you that same love and affection you always had when we were still together. Things just had to change and I also had to move on. I learned that we all need to give love a second chance and to my greatest shock, I did, and it worked out fine. I'll be okay and I hope you will as well be wherever you are now. Thank you so much for your sacrifice, Taylor.” He declared softly as he inhaled a deep breath and threw the bouquet he had in his hand straight to the sea. “Farewell Taylor.” He whispered as he shut his eyes deeply while a tear rolled down from his eyes. “Hey “ Lisa whispered as she walked up to Blake and cuddled him from behind. “I'm sure she's glad t
Kiara packed her hair in the form of a ponytail and applied a little makeup before she stood before the mirror. She had already made sure the house was peaceful and the kids had gone to school. “Hey,” Lisa called out as she leaned on the wall close to the front door. “Good morning.” “Good morning Lisa.” Kiara greeted and she took one more glare at her reflection before grabbing her keys. “Are you set to go now, because it was like you were taking ages you know?” Lisa teased and it made Kiara chuckle a bit. “Yeah, let's leave now.” Kiara responded. That said, they both walked outside immediately. As soon as they got to Kiara's car, Lisa opened the door and climbed into the front seat, next to the driver's seat and so did Kiara. Without hesitation, she turned on the engine and began to drive straight to the hospital. Kiara applied the brakes as soon as she got to the hospital grounds. As she climbed out of the car and shut the door behind, she began to walk inside immediately while
“Can I get my receipt?.” Lisa questioned as she tried to carry her shopping bags but she couldn't because they were too many. She had purchased so many items for the house upkeep and for the kids as well. “Do you need a hand with that?” Lisa hears a voice speak to her from behind. Oh I think I'm fine, you don't need to..” Lisa's jaw dropped the moment she turned to face him. “With the look of things here, I think you need a second hand and I do have one to spare.” As he spoke, Lisa's gaze had almost pulled off his T-shirt. “Oh yeah, I think I really need that spare hand for myself.” She whispered softly. “Excuse me?” . His voice jolted her to reality once again. “Oh I'm so sorry, I guess I could use a hand please.” Lisa responded while her warm smile smudged on her lips. “I'm Daniel.” Lisa heard the voice once again as he helped her carry most of the bags, leaving her with just one.” “Oh you really don't have to..” “Let's just go.” Daniel cut her as he began to walk out of the
“Alright, goodnight Miguel,” Caroline uttered as she tried to end the call and continue her dinner but she heard Miguel's voice again. “Don't forget our appointment this weekend.”Frustrated, Caroline placed her right hand on her forehead and rested on it. “Yeah, I won't, bye.” That said, she ended the call immediately not wanting to know if Miguel still had something to say. “Such a talkative person.” Caroline heaved as she returned to her meal.As she ate, heard the sound of the front door opening. As soon as she darted her gaze to the door, she spotted Cass and without hesitation, she returned her attention to her meal. Cass stood still as he watched Caroline eat and pretended like she had never seen him walk inside. The moment Caroline noticed he kept staring at her, she felt uncomfortable. She hastily rose to her feet and as she turned to leave, she felt a grip on her hands. Cass pulled her to him and gasped her hands tightly. “Hey, why are you acting weird all of a sudden?” He
“Hey, Miguel.” Caroline uttered weakly as she placed her cell phone on her ear.”“Hey bestie, what's wrong, you don't sound okay at all.” Miguel's voice rang out from the other line. “Nothing's wrong, I'm just kind of stressed out,” Caroline responded while she rubbed her eyes gently. “Let's meet today Carol, it's been a while since we spent some quality time together.” Miguel declared. Caroline sighed deeply as she averted her gaze up to the wall clock. “ By what time?” She questioned as she brushed her hair backwards and she climbed out of the bed weakly.“In two hours,” Miguel replied and ended the call before Caroline could utter any more words. Caroline heaved deeply and then began to walk straight to the restroom. As she sat on the toilet seat, what happened between her and Cass replayed on her head. Although she had always longed for him for so long now, but not that way. Cass had taken it very hard on her and she felt like a fool because as they had sex, Cass never mentioned
Caroline applied the brakes and rushed out of the car immediately. The moment she got to the back seat, she opened the door quickly and helped Cass climb outside. “I warned you not to drink too much Cass.” She uttered as she struggled to assist him but Cass pushed her to the floor immediately while he began to walk inside. “Argh.” Caroline groaned in pain as she struggled to get back on her feet to assist him. The moment Cass reached the front doorstep, he collapsed on the floor instantly. “Why do you prefer hurting this much, Kiara?” Cass whispered and shut his eyes immediately. A deep frown appeared on Caroline's lips as she heard Cass's voice. “You're also hurting me as well Cass, please can't you just love me back? I'm f*cking fricking out right now because I'm just so sad and confused. I love you so much Cass so please stop avoiding me, it hurts so much.” She whispered as her voice began to break slowly. As she bent down to Cass's level, she touched his soft brown hair and dre
As Kiara sat comfortably, she glanced at Cass and noticed that he had been staring at her for a while. With a slight scoff, she averted her gaze elsewhere immediately. Caroline watched with suspicion as Cass continued to stare at the woman he barely knew. She had never seen him look at anyone with such calm and warm affection before.Caroline wished she could be the recipient of Cass's gaze, but instead, she watched as he continued to stare at the lucky lady.Raymond concluded his announcement with, "Thank you once again for showing up. Please enjoy your stay here." As he made his way to where Aiden and Kiara were seated,The moment Kiara left to use the restroom, Cass stood up, causing Caroline to glance in his direction, expecting him to at least say a word or two before leaving. However, to her disappointment, Cass turned and made his way towards the direction Kiara had gone. Caroline watched him disappear, feeling a knot in her stomach. She knew that Cass's attention was now focus
"Don't say a word to anyone," Cass ordered Caroline as they arrived at the dinner party. "Just smile and look pretty." Caroline frowned and lowered her gaze to the floor in disappointment.Cass had insisted that she accompany him to this event, despite her discomfort. As the press began to photograph them, Cass stepped out of the car first and extended his hand to help Caroline out. At that moment, Caroline wished that the gesture had been genuine, that Cass cared about her as more than just an accessory to his image. But she knew that was unlikely. As the reporters snapped pictures of the couple, Cass leaned in and whispered something into Caroline's ear, with his voice low and commanding. "Remember your place," he said, a thinly veiled threat in his words.Caroline's fake smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered while her lips curved up into a tight, forced grin. She knew that she couldn't afford to make a scene, not when Cass's reputation was at stake.But as they wa
The moment Blake applied the brakes, Aiden opened the car door and climbed down immediately. With a deep breath, he wasted no time to walk inside quickly, while Blake trailed behind him. As they stepped inside the living room, they both parted ways. Aiden stood still at his doorstep and squeezed the door knob gently. As he stepped inside, his eyes widened in extreme shock the moment his gaze met with the slender gorgeous-looking lady that stood across the mirror.While Kiara adjusted her dress, she felt a hand grip her waist gently. “When I said look your best, I never meant you should dress to seduce anyone,” Aiden whispered as he slowly brought his hands to her breasts and squeezed them tightly while she kissed her neck.A smile crept on Kiara's lips as she quietly turned to face him while she wrapped her arms boldly around his neck. “I dressed to seduce you.” She whispered and joined her lips with Aiden lips. As Aiden realized they were supposed to be somewhere, he broke from the
