Maya.I was angry at myself for not screaming when I found Zane in my house. I hated myself for being foolish enough to believe that he wasn’t going to hurt me. Clearly, he was a psychopath who preyed on women who were attracted to him. The room I woke up in was quite good, luxurious in fact. However, it was devoid of personality as if it was a guest room. I could hear voices outside but I couldn’t see anything since the windows were boarded with wood. Thankfully, the light was on and the room was well ventilated. It also had a fan and a restroom. At least he was kind of enough to think of my needs.Eventually, the door opened. To my surprise, the person who walked in was not Zane. It was a young woman. I wondered if she was also a captive of his. I had read a novel about a man who kidnapped woman and kept them in his house, calling them family. Was this a case of that?“Who are you?” I asked the woman.“I’m Celeste,” she said, setting a jug filled with juice on the table. She placed
Maya.Lying down, I watched as Zane locked the door and returned to the bed. He took off his shoes and came to lie next to me. Immediately, our lips locked once again. I felt as if my body was on fire, in the best way possible. His hands found their way to my back and started moving, caressing and touching everywhere all at once. He brought his hands down from my back to reach the pink pyjama bottoms I had been given. His surprisingly soft hands touched the soft flesh of my ass and my body tingled. He pressed the cheeks making me release moans I had been trying to hold back. Knowing that werewolves had supernatural hearing, I didn’t want to risk waking up the whole building. Zane flipped me till I was lying on my back. As he leaned over me, I did the honours of taking off his shirt. He had to pause from kissing my neck to let me pull the shirt over his head. The shirt had barely reached the floor when he tried to get rid of my top. I let him and when it was done, he stared at my bre
Emma.When we got to the pack house, Zane gave me my phone back and I was able to talk to my family. I told them I was fine and on vacation. I stayed at the pack house for a full week, getting to know everyone and enjoying Zane’s company. His family was great and it was heart-breaking to see them looking so sad as they buried their father. Zane told me everything that had happened and I told him he should have told me earlier. I would have been more understanding. He didn’t agree. I began to prefer pack life over my lone metropolitan independent lifestyle. The whole pack was like one huge family and everyone loved and supported each other. It was so nice to see and experience. I felt like I had been given another family. I enjoyed the stay there to the point that I didn’t want to leave. But Zane insisted it was important for us to go and see how things were running at the company. Although he was getting updated every day, he wanted to go there and ensure that what was being forwarde
Kim *One week later*“We've all raised some good ideas and-”Harry stopped speaking when I stormed in after opening the door of the boardroom with maximum aggression. He was seated around the table with Sara, Maya, Harlow and one of the accountants. I charged upon Harlow and punched his old head. The idiot somehow managed to erase everything I had on him and I'd never been angrier. I was just about to send the video to Harlow’s wife after struggling so much to get her phone number. The plan was to send it and blackmail her. There was a possibility she was okay with him sleeping around with younger women but she wouldn’t want to have a video of her husband in that compromising position spreading all over the internet.“Stop it!” Maya yelled as I rained punches on her boss' head. Someone grabbed me by the waist as Sara called out for security guards from the doorway. “Let me go,” I shrieked, trying to get off the strong grip of the person whom I recognized as Harry. Maya was now atte
Maya.After all the drama, Zane wanted to fire Harlow. But after some serious thinking between the two of us, Zane decided to sell back the company to the previous owners. Mr. Milner had realised it had been a bad decision to sell of his family legacy. Thankfully, Zane didn’t want it anymore. “I bought it because I wanted to be close to you,” he said. “I got what I wanted. I don’t need the company anymore. I will continue to expand the dynasty I have already built. I’ll probably have branches of my companies here in future. For now, I’m quite contented with all the companies I own. Besides, more companies means more work and I just want to enjoy my life with you now.”“Are you bragging, Mr. Carrington?” I asked, smiling.“Maybe,” he said, leaning closer to me. “Do you like that?”I shook my head, trying not to smile. “I hate arrogant men.”“And yet here you are with me. I guess you, miss Bennett, don’t know what you want.”“Shut up,” I said, kissing him. Even though we had kissed ove
Had we known what lurked behind the darkness, we wouldn’t have enjoyed the party as much as we did. The party was held in an abandoned mill in the forest outside Misenium city. It was amazing, the best party I had ever been to. The two storied structure stood proudly in between tall trees, its walls hidden by the green leaves of creeping plants. Blue lights lit up the inside while the white bulbs were hung over the trees. Loud music blasted from the speakers and over a hundred young men and women danced and drank.Aaron grabbed my hand and pulled me away from the dancing crowd. I laughed out loud as I allowed him to lead me away. Sober me wouldn’t have gone anywhere with Aaron Smith but I was too drunk to care.“Where are we going, Aaron?” I yelled over the music.“What did you say?” he asked, stopping. He pulled me to himself and planted a short kiss on my lips. I giggled and pulled his head back. “Kiss me properly, Aaron.”Aaron didn’t waste any time, he had been trying to ask me o
“Here’s here,” Sherry whispered. I stood up straight and pretended to be writing something on the book at her table. It was a big risk, but I was willing to take it in order to catch a glimpse at our new CEO. He had started working on the previous day, but try as I had, I had failed to see him. I just wanted to know if the pictures did justice to him or not.“He’s entering,” Sherry said.I tried to see him using my side eye but couldn’t get a good look. Sherry gasped. I turned to her and saw her looking horrified. She pulled the visitors book from me and I tried to pull it back.“He’s looking at us, you idiot.” She said, and I instinctively turned. Our eyes met and I immediately turned back to face Sherry who was trying hard to look busy. I started to sweat. Don’t run, I told myself.After a few seconds, Sherry took a deep breath. “He’s gone.”I realised a breath I had not realised I was holding. I turned just in time to see the executive elevator closing. “Did you see that?” Sherry
Making a terrible first impression had never been part of the plan. After graduating from college, Milner’s was my first work place. For over two years, I had worked there and made the best impressions on my seniors. It was how I had managed to rise to the position of Junior Actuarial Manager and made it as a junior executive. Now, a new era was about to start at Milner insurance and it seemed like I was destroying everything I had built? There was a possibility that Mr. Carrington would want to change some of the staff. After pretending to be at the reception for a work issue and this, I was sure I was close to number one in Mr. Carrington’s staff-to-fire list. That was if I wasn’t number one. Mr. Carrington was a very eloquent man and everyone listened to his words attentively. I looked around and saw that everyone was looking at the man and no one was murmuring. Harry who was fond of making jokes with the former CEO’s son during staff meetings was now silent as a grave. The mee

Zane.“I’m not sure if I want to kill her,” I told Uriel, a vampire friend of mine. I had been confiding in him to find out what the vampires knew about the woman in my custody. Having kidnapped Maya and placed her in my pack house, I had only three or four hours before the fierce tribrid woke and broke down the cage. From what I had heard while doing research on her, she had broken out of so many places and destroyed those who imprisoned her.“I would kill her,” I said. “But I know nothing about the woman. I don’t know her enemies and friends. I’m not scared of the enemies but the friends. She may have friends in high places and they will want revenge. I’m not sure I want to risk the lives of my pack.”“Well, leaving her alive would also be risking the lives of your pack unless you’re ready to abide by her rules.”“I can’t reject my mate. I would live a very sad life if I did. I don’t think Chelsea can give me the happiness Maya can.”“Well, you’re stuck, bro. I wish I could be of he
Maya.People always say just move on. As if it’s that easy. When you have a strong connection with someone, it’s not very easy to let go and move on. For a while after they disappear, you keep hoping that they will come back. That they will realise how amazing you were and realise you’re the only one for them. If they don’t come back, it really affects you especially when you don’t get closure. After waiting for Zane to turn up after days, I decided to go and confront him at his residence since Harry told me had not been showing up at work. I just wanted to hear it from his mouth that it had all been a game and he no longer wanted me. I had tried to forget him but it seemed I first needed to hear that in order to move on.The apartment was in an upscale area of town in a magnificent building, the type of building that I could only dream of living in. the security officer told me that Zane was not around which was a disappointment.“Did he go to Misenium city?” I asked.“I don’t know,”
Zane.The warriors that had surrounded the cottage started running after me and the two warriors I was with. They started chasing after us without shooting. It was apparent they wanted to capture me without injuring me. One of the warriors was captured and his neck was snapped before he was left on the ground. I was very good at running but my chest was starting to ache and my head was throbbing due to my father throwing me down. When the next warrior was caught, I knew it was only a matter of time. As strong as I was, I was alone and it was going to be almost impossible to outrun 30 strong men. For some reason, my powers were no longer working which was very annoying.Suddenly, the men stopped coming after me and stood there, looking very confused. I figured it was a trick so I continued running but when I looked back, I saw that they seemed genuinely confused.“Alpha!” One of them yelled. He was a short guy that was always guarding the pack house. I stood, wondering if they were up
Zane.After nearly getting killed on the streets of Misenium by one of my dad’s men, I decided enough was enough. I convinced Chelsea that I would reject my mate if she was able to help me regain my pack. I didn’t trust her, and she didn’t trust me but eventually, she accepted to help me out. At least she had the strength to make me fulfil my promise by force. Reminding her of that made her agree to do it. I paced around the hotel room as I waited for my father to pick up his phone.“Finally,” his voice came through the phone, menacing as always. “My son, it’s time for you to give me my rights back. I’m the alpha of this pack and I need you to hand over everything. I can take it by force but you’re my son. I still love you despite everything.”I rolled my eyes. What a liar. If he had any love for me, he would not have kicked me out of my own pack like a thief.“I can’t do that,” I told him. “I’m ready to fight you for what is mine.”My father laughed. “You have no idea what I’m deali
