Michael’s POVLast night was a blur of euphoria and victory. Drinks, cheers, and fireworks were up in the air as I cradled Nora close while stealing kisses at her. She was quite tipsy; she wasn’t shy as usual.Nora and I basked in the afterglow of our triumph, our bodies entwined in the soft glow of moonlight filtering through the window as we engaged in a game of passion and moans. But as the morning sun pierced through the curtains, I woke up alone.Where is Nora? I checked the bathroom; she wasn’t there. I checked our son's room, which was in my quarter, and still couldn’t find her. Then my anxiety kicked in.A gnawing unease settled in the pit of my stomach. It reminded me of a memory I thought I had quietly tucked away. It was the night she fled. Nora loves me. I mean, why would she want to leave? I shook my head as I brushed my teeth. I promised myself that I would not always think the worst of every situation. When I got back to my room and Nora had not come back, I became wor
Maria’s POVI woke up to a twirling ceiling fan and the faint smile of disinfectant. Where am I? I sat up a little. It was when I heard the beeping sounds and looked outside to see people working around in white coats and scrubs. Hospital. I am in the hospital. Oh, maybe I might have passed out.How long have I been sleeping? Is it morning yet? What happened? My head was like a market place.“Good morning, Miss Amanda,” a nurse said as she walked into my room with a bright smile. I frowned.Amanda? My name is not Amanda, but Maria. I was about to tell her that I was the wrong person when I remembered everything.How I crossed over to the human side and changed my name to Amanda, and now I am dating this wealthy billionaire named Logan. So I smile.“Good morning, Miss—“ I smiledat her.“Miss Maureen,” she said. “Excuse me, if you don’t mind, I’ll check your vitals.” I smiled and nodded. She went ahead to read and check around me. I looked around and realized something was off. Out of m
Nora’s POVThe door was yanked open, and some men pounced on me.“Let me go! Don’t touch me!” I kicked and pushed, but it was useless. I was no match for their strength.They tied up my hands and legs. They also gagged me. I turned frantically from left to right, hoping that the maids would help, but I could also see fear in their eyes. What was happening?My heart beat loudly as they took me away. I felt as helpless as a bird that couldn’t fly. It was just the same way I felt when I was crying in the rain and Jake kicked me out of the pack.************************I awoke to a bright light on my face. I shut my eyes. The leaves and stones itched and hurt my skin.“Wake up, little princess,” a deep voice kicked at my feet. My eyes flung open. It took me some minutes to realize that I was tired of a tree, and there were five men around.“She’s awake, your highness,” one said. A guard who looked 4 years older than me came into view. I recognized him as the one who used to follow Michae
Michael’s POVDon’t come closer. What the hell does that mean?I took one step closer, and my eyes widened.“Nora!” she had collapsed beside the tree. I ran to the tree and began to untie the rope that used to bind her hands."Nora, open your eyes.” I shook her vigorously. Her lips spread in a low smile as her eyes were half open. “I told you not to come close. You just wouldn’t listen.”“Oh baby” I kissed her on the head. ‘I thought I would never see you again. Come, let’s go home, okay?”“Where is Dylan?” she coughed.“He is with us. He is on his way to the Nexton pack. He is on his way home, as we speak.” I showered kisses on her face.“That is good,” she croaked. “Now I want you to leave. I want you to leave me here. Go away.” She used her frail hands to shove me, but she was weak.“No! I am going nowhere without you.” I hugged her tighter.“Do you know?” She looked up at me as her eyes watered.“What! What happened, baby?” I asked as I egged her to speak.“He killed her. He fucki
Nora’s POVMichael and I danced to a romantic song. My feet were moving up and down along the floor as the bass of the song reverberated through our bodies. I was wearing my white shirt sleeve shirt today with black shorts, the same as yesterday as well. Tonight, though, I wore a red short gown, which screamed lust.Pressed close to Michael’s body, I felt his erection. He put his arm around my waist, pulling me closer, while his other hand gripped my ass tightly. His lips grazed mine for a second before he turned towards my neck and bit it gently. I moaned into his mouth at the sensation. He chuckled softly against my skin when I moved away from him, panting lightly. We resumed dancing, but now it was a slow, sensual dance with a slow rhythm as we both tried out new moves. My hand traveled down his back, and I rubbed circles there, feeling his muscles shift under my fingers. I could feel his dick against my thigh.I pulled him closer so he couldn’t move away any further. He groaned qu
Maria’s POVI kicked the shoes off my feet and let the smoothness of the rug stroke my feet. It was like bliss on earth. In the hospital, standing and sitting were the same thing. With the common denominator being concern, Logan had not woken up when I decided to leave and get some fresh clothes. The doctor cleared me after I was given vitamins and folic acid for the baby. I had to keep visiting Logan.Damn, taking care of Logan can be annoying. I mean, I know he is a billionaire who can have anything with the snap of his fingers, but he has never had a good family. They all want his money, just like me. I looked around like a robot. Everything has been as I left it. With tired eyes, I walked into my room and collapsed down on the bed. I badly wanted an embrace. I wanted someone to tell me that everything was alright. My brain threatened to shut down, but I sat up. I was Maria. I lived most of my life alone. I don’t need anyone.Inhaling my armpits, I squeezed up my nose. ”A bath wil
Nora’s POVClaire had died when the attack on them got stronger. She was a girl caught in a crossfire, according to what Hercules said. It was they who shot her. It was those goons that were with her.It was raining cats and dogs as we gathered on the burial ground. Everywhere was littered with people of color. Malia had her eyes red like those of someone who had been drinking. She is leaning on Zen’s chest, staring out like a zombie. All traces of color drained from her face. I couldn’t help her with her pain, but I told her how sorry I was. She had nodded earlier at my words. Not even sparing me a glance.I looked up at the pictures of two smiling girls who were an exact copy of each other. Without the change in hair color, Claire was just Mila and Malia, but this time slimmer. I kept watching, hoping. I was praying that Mila would sit up from where she is kept and tell me that this is just a joke. She would call me a big cry baby, and she would tease me some more.“To a friend and
Nora’s POV“What do you mean you can’t find Dylan?” Michael sprang up.“I went into his room and looked, and I couldn’t find him,” I stammered.“You can’t be sure; maybe he might be hiding somewhere,” Mia said. Michael, Zen, and Hercules all rushed out as they ran upstairs, screaming Dylan’s name.“It’s happening again,” I muttered as I looked dazed."No, Nora, it’s not." Mia stopped me in my trance. I stared into her eyes as tears threatened to fall from my eyes. "No, Nora, now is not the time to cry.”“Then what should I do?” My voice cracked at the end of the sentence.“We go looking for him,” she said, taking my hands, and we followed in the screaming of my son’s name.Three hours . later, it was certified that Dylan had gone missing. I wanted to cry, but I noticed that it ended up making me feel weak. So I decided to do the opposite.Rage.I bolted out of the room like lightning.I ran with all my strength, but the weight of my dress slowed me down. I didn’t know where I was goin
