MARCUS P.O.VWe took a flight which sped up our movement and when we arrived at California We took a cab heading for the new house I had bought. It was a three story building and it was located in the most beautiful part of California. I also made sure the environment I secured was far from the noise in the main city.The lush green and diverse colours of flowers blended perfectly with the environment. It was the only building in over ten hectares of land. The backyard had a larger space with countless numbers of trees. The fields were low and at one end was a beautiful garden.Walking into the house I led Alicia to her room upstairs as I set up her box by the wardrobe then helped her on the bed. I would have loved to show her around the house but she was not in the position to handle the stress.“Would you like to eat something?” I asked.“No, thanks for asking,” she muttered, gently placing her head on the pillow as she shut her eyes.I stared at her for a while. “I am heading out.
MARCUS P.O.VThat was the word, the exact word that will bring about the beginning of Kelvin’s madness. I knew that those were the things he feared the most but no matter how much damage it will cost him I still saw the need for him to know that he no longer has any say in Alicia’s life.“We are together Kelvin and there is no going back now,” I repeated to make sure we had mutual understanding.The way he looked at me was fathomable. I could grasp the hate and the clusters of bitterness that burned inside his soul. It was a perpetual hatred for both me and also the deep regret that he wasn’t able to prevent what had happened from happening.Right now there is nothing I can do to change his mind. With the level of hatred he has for me he could go all lengths to make my life miserable.“Even if it will cost me everything, I will make sure I deliver her out of your hand. I will make sure the world knows what you are and when they do I will be glad to watch you hanged to death and all th
MARCUS P.O.VWhile they were gathering all the materials they would need I asked Mark about his son Stiles just to make sure he stayed outside long enough for Silas to go through with our plan. About thirty minutes after engaging him in the conversation one of the cops approached us saying that everything was now set.Hopefully no one suspected anything so I followed Eddie into the room which the cops had prepared for the interview. I walked in with Mark and another officer as we approached Kelvin who was seated on a chair opposite the entrance door. His eyes were on me the moment we walked in; however considering the fact that Silas must have performed the hypnoses on him I overlooked it.Mark and the other officer who accompanied us settled down on the two chairs opposite Kelvin while I stood beside Mark with a close look at the expression on Kelvin’s face. Mark was the one to ask the questions while the duty of his colleague was to write down the records from Kelvin’s statement.“I
MARCUS POVFrom all that Mark told me about this foreigner, I could tell that he was really talented especially after hearing of his past success in many parts of the world. Seeing the dangers that he imposed I decided to spend one night with Eddie since they were to welcome the foreigner early the next morning.I arrived at Eddie’s house later that evening as he offered me the guest room for the night. The room was conducive and everything that could offer comfort was present. He was plain about how terrible his cooking skill was so instead of preparing anything he bought food from a nearby restaurant.During the meal I engaged Eddie in the conversation about the incoming visitor and from our conversation he seemed happy that the mysteries in California were gradually coming to light.“His name is Sharma Atluri,” Eddie said and I paused.“Isn’t that name Indian?” I asked.“Yes it is, he is from India,” he replied. “He has an interesting profile however I only hope he is as good as we
MARCUS P.O.VWas that a threat or was it a warning that my world is about to crumble? I thought to myself as soon as I boarded a taxi heading to my house. Atluri’s last words before leaving the police station left me wondering what his next move could be. Another thing that troubled me was the fact that his mind remained as neutral as possible.Summing everything up I knew that the case had been given into the hands of a real specialist and if I was going to beat him, it was going to take a lot of time since he approached the case differently from the norms in California.“This is beyond my control, Ronald has to return to Alpha Harold before the pack finds out that he had gone missing,” I whispered to myself then took out my cell phone as I dialled his number.“Hello, Marcus,” Ronald said as soon as he answered the phone.“Ronald, where are you?” I asked.“I am in a safe place at the moment. How have you and Alicia been?” he asked.“Things are very hectic now but that was not the rea
ALICIA’S P.O.VNo man could ever understand the pains of having a child in the womb. No man understands the feeling of having another person feeding and moving inside you. This is my first time to experience it and even worse is that it’s not just a normal child.Sometimes I wish that my mother were here, I wish she was here to show me how she was able to pass through these hard times without breaking down. Nine months is a long period but will I be able to bear this pain for that long?My throat feels sour each passing day; my bed is now my favourite companion. Who could deliver me from this unexplainable pain I feel inside? I and Marcus promised each other that we were going to go through the pains of our union together but that was not totally true. There are some times in our lives that we were going to travel alone. This was that time.Every time I think about giving up my words of comfort was that I will have to go through this once and finally it will be over. Just nine months,
ALICIA’S P.O.VI followed Marcus into the house as we both settled down on the long sofa chair in the sitting room. Curious about what was so important that he needed to share with me I fastened my eyes on him.“It almost seems as if Katherine was the one who projected that dream into my sleep but to some extent I doubt that it was totally true,” His first words caught my attention. “The dream I had last night have a connection to our unborn child.”I furrowed my eyebrows at his statement. “Tell me about the dream,” I said.“It occurred in a place my pack considers sacred ground. Aracely was present and also this lady. Aracely warned that if I was going to save the child, then I will have to turn you into a werewolf because only then will you be strong enough to bear the baby. However the other lady said something strange, she said that the only way to save you and the child was to believe, else only one of you will survive,” Marcus explained.Those words were complex and confusing bu
MARCUS P.O.V“What am I thinking?” I whispered to myself, running my hand through my hair. I looked around the living room like someone who was lost and just then I felt the heaviness in my chest.Why did I tell her my perception about Katherine? Ever since we got married all I have ever done is cause her pain. I should not have said what I did; I should have kept it to myself. What have I done?I was still in grief when I heard a shattering sound behind me. I looked and unfortunately it was Alicia. Her eyes were already covered in tears as she staggered on to the dining table. Her stare was like that of someone who was already broken.My mind ran through the possibilities of everything that could put her in this shape and the only reasonable answer was that she must have discovered another of my many secrets. My heart ached at her sudden appearance and broken look and it was at this moment I realized that I had made a terrible mistake in bringing her into my life. Things might have t
