"I see absolutely nothing wrong with your daughter, Ms Kiara. Except for her growing asthmatic condition, every other thing is fine so there's no need to be worried." Doctor James announced "Are you certain? Once again, she woke up with a very hot temperature, and then she was so weak. I'm really worried there's something that we probably aren't seeing yet.""For now, I examined her thoroughly. Maybe you could bring her to the hospital tomorrow if it happens again and we'll run some test on her."Kiara nodded her head at the doctor and cocked her head towards Zoey who was sitting upright on Lisa's thighs,"Baby, are you alright?"Zoey nodded her head, and when she tried to stand up on her feet, Lisa helped her up. She rubbed towards Kiara at the other side of the bed,"Yes Mommy.""Was it a bad dream? Talk to me baby? Did you see anything?""Just a necklace mommy." Zoey responded, and again Kiara arched her brows. This was the second time Zoey was mentioning that word,"A necklace? I
"Or he doesn't want me to come?" Kiara cut in after a few seconds of silence on the phone."That's not the case, Kiara. Aiden has some urgent business matters to attend to tonight, and I'm helping him along with it. I want you to see him and maybe talk him out of not wanting to take this treatment, but he's Alpha, remember?" Cass reminded"When does he want me to go, Cass? I'll do exactly what Aiden wants me to do, and I won't bother about his treatment anymore. Whatever happens to him is none of my business because he never cared whatever happened to me and his kids years ago." Kiara forced those harsh words out of her mouth, and took a deep breath in,"In two days, everything will be ready and I'll come pick you up myself based on Aiden's instruction.""That's good enough. Once I'm done with his damn contract and I find a cure, I'm leaving this forsaken pack and never returning. Goodnight Cass." Kiara uttered and ended the call before he could even respond to her.She turned around
"Oh fuck!" Scarlett moaned out loud and placed the tip of the cigarette on her lips. She huffed in smokes and puffed them out afterward on the man's face, and with his hand on her waist, he made her ride him like never before "Go down there… fuck I'm cumming." She moaned out loud, drawing her head backward and enjoying every fucking second of the moment,"Fuckkkkkk…" she heard the man's voice and instantly knew he had cummed. Good thing she came too else he would have been lifeless on the floor,The next noise that was heard was that of Scarlett's phone and she cocked her head towards it"That's yours." I knowShe drew his chin closer and planted a kiss on his lips,"That's for being good. Now do me a favor and stay away from other ladies out there. I don't share what I like with anyone so if you don't want me to kill any fucking bitch close to you or you along the line, then you do as I say." Scarlett continued and rose to her feet naked.She began to walk toward her phone at the ot

"Let go of me, Blake, let go. Ouch, it's hurts please." Lisa cried out as he kept dragging her and once they were behind the car, he let go of her while she winced out loud in pain,"What was that all about Blake?""You fucking scared the hell out of me." He yelled at her without even knowing what had just shot out of his mouth. Lisa starred at him, staying quiet and unable to find the right words to say,"Why would I scare you? You hate me, remember, and I'm human too."Blake scoffed,"And so I'd believe you acted that way on purpose.""Why would I do that? For you to come save me or what? I had no idea you were even close by so why would I have done that on purpose? Someone was there and I don't know if I was the crazy one, but she was fucking there.""I saw no one. You should get yourself checked up as soon as possible, Lisa."A light scoff escaped Lisa's lips when she heard Blake,"Are you trying to say I'm crazy?" She scoffed again just at the thought of it and placed on hand on
As soon as Kiara halted the car in the compound, Lisa stepped out of it.She opened the back door and picked out most of the items,"I'll head in first. I need to get some rest, Kiara, I'm really tired."Kiara nodded her head as she stepped down from the car. It was now so obvious that something was wrong with Lisa, but the asking wouldn't solve anything. Maybe it was best to let her be for a while before asking what was wrong."Have a good night's rest, Lisa, I love you." Kiara yelled as Lisa kept walking in and in response, Lisa waved her hand and uttered, "I love you too girlfriend."When Lisa shut the door, Kiara took a deep breath in and began to walk towards the back door of the car. She opened it up and picked up the rest of the bag. It was time to check up on her kids.She placed the bags on the long dining table and began to head towards the stairs with the jar of her kid's favorite snacksCookies for ZaneChocolate biscuits for ZoeyAnd teddy cookies for Zion.She rasped a k
"Here, try this. I have no idea if it might work, but let's hope it does." Cass uttered, handing Kiara the syringe that he had always injected Aiden with,"What sort of sickness is this? I've never witnessed anything like this before. His temperature is so high, and I can feel his pulse or blood running through his veins.""He isn't dead Kiara, trust me.""What?""Just inject him with this first and let's see if he will get better." Cass cut her short and Kiara nodded her head,Her hands kept shaking, but she took a deep breath in and out just to calm her nerves down as tears were already rolling down to her cheek,"Kiara…""I'll do it now." She uttered and the moment Aiden was injected with the syringe, his eyes opened, but their color changed to red,"What's going on?""Move back. Hurry…""Is…"With so much force, the next thing Kiara felt was a strong arm on her neck, and she found herself flying till her back hit the wall so hard making her groan in pain,This was the stupid disad
A light groan escaped Kiara's mouth, and she winced in pain afterward. When Kiara was finally able to see her surroundings properly, her eyes caught hold of Cass so close to her. "Cass?" Kiara called almost in a whisper, and when he heard her voice, he raised his head to stare at her, "Kiara, you're awake." "What happened?" "You don't remember? Aiden went wild on you, and…" "Aiden! Where's Aiden, how's he doing? Is he still alive?"She tried to stand up on her weak, but groaned in pain again, "Take it easy, Kiara, Aiden's fine. The moment he realized it was you, I don't know how, but he came back to his senses before he could hurt you again. How do you feel? Are you alright?" "I'm fine, Cass. Take me to Aiden immediately. I want to see how he's doing?" "I can't."Kiara arched her brows, "Why?" She questioned, still trying to bear the pain around her back, "He doesn't want to see you Kiara. Aiden had instructed that you leave the pack once you're awake, and
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
