MARCUS P.O.VAs soon as I ended my conversation with Alicia my phone began to ring. I looked to see who was calling and popped up one of the screens was the name Eddie Lindsey.It was just like she had told me. Her father must be obsessed with the investigation and if he spots even a little flaw it will call for deep suspicion.I heaved a sharp sigh and hoping for the worst I answered the call."Hello," I heard his bass voice through the phone."Hello sir," I answered."Marcus, are you chanced because I would like us to meet up," He said."Yes I am, what is the venue?" I asked."Noble's restaurant and come alone," He said then ended the call.I smelled danger beneath his obscure tone. I knew that this was not going to go well but dishonouring his invitation was an easier way to fall into his list of his most suspected subjects.Without hesitation I went into the bathroom as I freshened up. I dressed like any normal young man, with blue jeans and red striped shirt and putting on my sho
MARCUS P.O.VI moved my cell phone away from my ears as soon as she ended the call. I knew what I planned to do but it turns out that it will require help from someone I never wanted to put in danger but as far as I could tell, he was the best person for the job.I took up my cell phone as I dialled Ronald’s phone number. The phone rang for a while then he answered the call.“Hello, who is this?” he asked.“Settle down, it’s Marcus and I called because I need your help,” I answered.“Marcus… wow! How have you been?” he asked in a surprised tone.“I am okay for the time being,” I answered.“Okay, you sound like you are in trouble. What do you need my help for?” he asked.“California just figured about the existence of our kind and the father of my mate just realized that his daughter was destined to mate a werewolf and I will need you as a distraction until I and Alicia are finally united,” I answered.“What! Slow down. If I heard you right, you intend to use me as bait,”“Not exactly
MARCUS P.O.VAfter I had made my point we forged ahead to the crossroad and there we took a cab. Throughout our ride we didn’t say a word to each other until we arrived at a skyscraper. When we came out of the car I looked at Ronald whose eyes were fixed on the building with great admiration.“You never cease to amaze me Marcus, this is your first time being in California and you are already familiar with such a beauty,” he said, drifting his gaze to me. “Why choose this place? I thought we will be having our conversation in a restaurant or a bar but this looks nothing like such,”“This isn’t the time to have good meals, my life is at stake and I think you should do more listening than speaking, now follow me,” I said as I walked in through the entrance.“You know that you don’t have to act mean. Everyone is always fascinated each time they step into a new environment,” Ronald said.“I am still the only son of your Alpha, at least that is until my father finally hands the position to
MARCUS P.O.VI explained the plan to Ronald, it was a frightening burden to bear but it was just like he said; that is what friends do. The first step was to tell Alicia about the plan and next was to know how to go about it.I took a taxi with Ronald and while we were on our way to a coffee shop I phoned Alicia and told her to meet us there as soon as possible.A few minutes later me and Ronald arrived at the coffee shop as we walked in."Good day," I said to the waiter as soon as I arrived at the counter."Good day sir," She responded. "How can I help you?""I need three cups of coffee please," I said."Okay," She replied, then moved away from the counter. I looked back at Ronald as he walked In making his way towards me. "Did you find anyone?""No, we are safe," he answered in a whisper."Here is your coffee sir," The waiter interrupted and I sprint my gaze to her."Okay, thanks," I reached my hand to the tray."Isn't there supposed to be four coffee's?" The waiter said as I paused
ALICIA'S P.O.VThe plan has just started. I know Marcus, once he said something he was going to do it without failing. Saturday morning was always a big day for me and today was not an exception. The weather was moist as usual, and I was still in bed with my blanket over my body. I didn't feel like going out due to the cold weather but what choice do I have seeing that we had an already arranged plan.Knock! knock!I heard a knock on my bedroom door as I swung the blanket away from my body and gently sitting upright the door opened and Eddie walked in."Good morning sunshine," He said."Morning dad but we know it's about to rain," I answered sarcastically as I heaved a sigh. I noticed him flash a smile at me then walked down to meet me by the bed."What's wrong?" I asked."Nothing, why will anything be wrong?" he asked immediately after his response."The look on your face and your reactions seem different," I answered."Oh, about that…" He heaved a sigh as he sat on the bed beside me
EDDIE'S P.O.VThe pills were too hard to swallow at the same time. First my daughter is a Catalyst, next is that there are creatures like Vampires, Werewolves and Witches which roam my town and I have spent these many years not knowing. I had been in the dark pondering on many questions, fighting so hard to uncover a Mystery that was under my nose the entire time.It's too much to take at the same time but today marks the beginning of a new search. I will make sure I find every last one of them and I will eradicate their existence. I roll them up like a scroll. No matter how deep I have to go, they can never have my daughter.I am on my way to meet Lily; the witch who I sent to spy on Alicia and her old friend. I just hope this so-called Kelly, is the Werewolf because if he is not then that will only mean that Marcus is.By 12:00p.m. I pulled over at the entrance into a public field as I came out of my car. I looked forward and i spotted her seated on a swing about thirty feet away fr
MARCUS P.O.VToday is a day to be remembered, it's a day that begins the battle of my identity. It almost seemed like the cloud knew how I felt and I could tell by the darkness which covered the sky.Ever since I left Eddie's House I have always had this strange feeling that something terrible was going to happen. It feels like I played a short part in an important contest and I am left in the dark awaiting the final result to be called.It feels like a game, kill or be killed.I didn't return to the hotel where I lodged, rather I located a large solitary field and I had been seated on a long bench at one end since noon.Why would Eddie request a meeting between us? I thought to myself while I stared at the moist cloud. It was already eight p.m. the place was dark and cold but the cold never bothered me. After all, I am a werewolf. We are always known as the warm ones.Could it be he knows that I had planned Alicia and Ronald's meeting? I questioned myself again but the answers were n
MARCUS P.O.VI was on my bed in my lodge when my alarm began buzzing. I opened my eyes as I turned my gaze to the wall clock."Ten o'clock," I mumbled, as I heaved a sharp sigh then faced the ceiling again. I was supposed to meet Eddie by twelve o'clock today so I had two hours to be prepared for whatever comes after our meeting.I heaved another sharp sigh as I turned my face right to the blue bracelet which Silas had given me last night. It was resting on my bedside cupboard.I haven't decided if I was going to take it along with me yet, because I still can't understand why someone who was trying to kill me would bring a gift to me.I read his mind and all I knew was that whatever reason he handed the bracelet to me must have been for protection. This was the first time I was doubting my perception.I can't trust them. I thought to myself.After a while I got off my bed as I approached my wardrobe. I opened it up and took out a blue jeans trousers and an ash coloured top. I placed i
