Amelia's POV.

The hall had red and white ribbons that stretched from different newel posts in the tall building.

The hall was lustrous, as the chandelier in the hall lit the hall. And the area was well surrounded by cops which was brought by the school authority.

The hall became noisy as students began trooping in. They came in pairs like it was some big and expensive party and they took Uber and few drove in their cars, not minding how it was even if it was not the flashiest cars trending.

"Come on, Alicia. You just have to put on these!!" I snapped as I dropped the short red gown on my bed.

"This is too short, Amelia." She complained as she remained reluctant to put it on.

"And also, the shoulders are exposing. This is me being completely naked tonight, Amelia. I will just stick with my baggy trousers and top." She sighed.

"And what next? Those sneakers again? Tonight? Hell no, Alicia." I opposed strongly as I wasn't intending to let her have her way.

"But you agreed that i was

    Alicia’s POVEyes fell on us as we walked down on the red carpeted floor. I felt cold chills in my spine as we walked down. I shrugged as I kept looking down like I was scared. "Come on, my love…""What?" I felt myself sprawling inside like I was about falling apart. "Did he just call me 'love.' Is he trying to flirt with me?" I snapped as I raised my head a bit to see how much is left before we get to the chair meant for us as the prom king and queen."Can you keep your heart calm at least? I can hear how fast it is pounding right now. Are you shy? Oh! Nervous?" He asked as he looked at me.I raised my head as I looked at him. He was wearing a broad smile. He was used to the spotlight lifestyle, not me.Right now, I was feeling all tense. I prayed the ground could just open and swallow me. "Or, are you scared of someone here? Is anyone threatening you, my love?" He asked in a considerate tone as he paused.I stopped too as I raised my eyes. I looked at him and I felt my heartbeat s

    Rex's POV.I woke earlier than other days as I couldn't wait to get to work and be close to Elena.I sat down on my black wicker swing chair as I kept looking out through the window. All I had in my head were pictures of her. And I still couldn't explain why I still haven't gotten rid of the regret that clung to my heart. "Why was I still madly in love with her? Or was she right all along? Would I have loved her after knowing she still couldn't bear me kids? What if I am only obsessed and desperate in having her back because of the kids?" I shrugged as I relapsed on the black wicker chair as it moved unsteadily in circles as I wanted it. The fluffy pillows made me comfortable in it, as I kept looking at the moon which was still but partly covered by clouds. "No!!" I knocked off the hard feelings of guilt. I knew why I was here, I was here in New Kingston because of her.And now that I am the new CEO of The Eleven, I have come to want her even more than before. The memories of her

    Rex’s POV“Good morning, Sir.” Gusto's face gleamed as he lowered his head.And we proceeded to the staff section of the hotel.The hall was already jam-packed with the staff as today was going to decide their fate if they are going to continue working here or not.I scanned the big hall, looking sternly at everyone as I played with my fingers behind my back. "So, I had my own acting secretary go through all your files and documents and sadly, 40% of you today will be losing your job here, but then, do not become discouraged as your chances of getting invited for a new job interview are high." I mumbled as I watched the hall get a little noisy from their whispering.And just as expected, Elena remained calm like she wasn't in any way bothered about losing her job here.I smirked as I looked at the other staff who were now all in a frenzy state. I know that working here meant a lot to them. "As of recently, The Eleven recorded 15 new workers and their positions here were placed on a

    Logan's POV.I couldn't have imagined that the prom night would be one hell of a ride for me.I felt her words clinging to me and throughout the prom night, I kept wondering what must have prompted her to say such. But then, I could think of it much as different desperate journalists had taken upon themselves to ruin the Bohen's family. Maybe, I'm truly the beast she sees. Her words still rang in my head like it was reoccurring again physically."Good morning, young master." Othello greeted me as he walked into my room. "How do you feel now?" He questioned as he opened the curtains as the sun blinded my eyes for a while. I yawned as I stretched my body. "What is the time?" I squinted my eyes to see the time on my alarm clock but before I could see it, Othello had echoed it out loud. "12? 12p.m?" I shrieked as I jolted up from the bed. "How did I sleep this much?" I groaned as I slid my legs inside my slippers and picked up my shirt that laid on the bed."What happened last night?"

    Logan's POV.I returned back to my room after my brief discussion with my father. All I could think about now after graduating from high school was to chase a degree in New Kingston College, a college which was built by the six believed founding families of New Kingston.They held the whole history, both the good and the bad and the various factions of werewolves, mystiques, witches, the corrupt politicians that were in charge of the human faction and also, we had the powerful and most unique shapeshifters that consisted of hybrids and normal shapeshifters.“Heyy, Alicia?” I called out to her the moment she stepped into my room with my breakfast.She raised her eyebrows and I loved how they battled each other. I still couldn't clear my head from the prom night incident. “How could I have messed up so badly, as to address her as my mate?” I groaned as she stared at me.“I will be going to the newest club in the city. It is owned by my childhood family friend.” I muttered.“Club? Heheh

    Alicia's POV.“Yeah…yeah. I'm okay.” I responded in a calm tone as I forced out a smile. Now, it made more sense to me as to why the Bohen's Bureau and the BOECH group of companies had so much in common. The BOECH group of companies also had several lawsuits and they were mostly on money laundering and cyber theft.But then, just like the Bohen's Bureau, they always made it out. Till date, the real owners remained publicly unknown. I raised my eyebrows, as I looked at Logan and all I could see again was the beast I saw all the Bohen's family to be and looking at his friends, I guess they all shared the same qualities with Logan.“You looked surprised. I know I was introduced as the troublesome one but I also work in the BOECH group of companies.” Jack muttered as he looked at me, and he had this flirtatious smile on. “BOECH? Bohen's Tech group of companies.” Owen sneered as he poured in another shot of vodka in his glass, then he immediately emptied it inside his mouth. I cursed m

    Logan's POV."So, Logan? What are your plans? You wanna mate with her?" Owen said over the loud music that was now playing. "It's your boy, Sky City Boy." He said with his microphone in a loud tone, placing so much emphasis on the City Boy. The people jeered, as they jumped up in so much excitement. I watched how their hands were up in the air as they were dancing to the music that was playing and screaming too."Come off it, Owen. We are just friends and nothing more." I said in a whisper, as I looked at Owen. "Will you ever admit to it?" He chuckled softly as he looked at Logan."You are definitely going to disbelieve this. You know father won't let me have a mate for now." I groaned as I looked at Owen.I looked at Alicia who seemed lost in the party. It was obvious that this was her first time stepping her legs in the club. "Hey, handsome? Are you guys doing well?" Flora snapped as she stopped at the front of our table in the VIP section. "I can say you all are having a pretty

    CLEVELAND. Connor & Co Real Estate Firm. Helen McKinsey POVIt was my first day in Cleveland and only one thing brought me down here. And that was to acquire a space in the Connor & Co Real Estate Firm which was currently acquired by one of the most powerful Alphas in Cleveland. I knew I had little or no chance to get a job under the King's Real Estate Company, and I had to go for their top rival, Kingsley.That truth comes to me as I rush into the building, surrounded by somber- looking business men and women. They were all neatly dressed in expensive clothes and mostly, black and blue suits, both male and female. I wore something more casual than anyone would have expected. I had my peach flowery gown that stopped right beneath my knees. With all those very serious looking people, I felt like I was definitely going to lose the job but then, I still had to brace myself as I walked down the vast, open area that had a glass rooftop which was currently under reconstruction.I stoo

    Kingsley's POV I was happy with his answer. If he wanted it as much as I wanted it, then we were getting it. I wanted him to know it as well. "The exact thing I wanted to hear. If you want this Governorship as much as I want it, then we're getting it. You're the perfect leader for this city, Alphonso. I've watched you, and you deserve to be more than just a millionaire. You're a born leader. Now, select a date to announce your candidacy."I watched him while he thought about it, glancing briefly at his laptop to probably check the calendar and his schedule. He thought briefly, then looked at me with the confidence of a man that had just discovered his purpose. "Tomorrow will do just fine."I nodded with a smile. The Governorship throne was within our reach. It was only a matter of time now. Rex's POVAs the bakery equipment was being moved out, I sat across from it in a restaurant, a cup of iced tea in one hand, and tacos in the other. "I still can't think of a perfect gift, Cla

    Rex's POV Bruce McNeil adjusted his Italian suit, then continued speaking, his hands gesturing as he did so. "My men will start moving the bakery tools and equipment as soon as possible."I shook his hand firmly. We had a deal.As soon as Bruce McNeil and his men were out of earshot, Clark was beside me in an instant. "A hundred and fifty grand, Rex? That was way too much. How are we going to recover that?" That was his job. Even though he was a little bit harsh, I was okay with it. It was his job to guide me and protect me if need be. "We might not recover it, but I'm definitely not allowing any harm to befall my kids and Elena. We're the only ones they have, Clark. We need to protect them."With those words, I ended the conversation, prompting him to focus on the documents that were being brought in. I was going to do anything to protect my children and Elena, even if it was at the expense of a few dollars. KINGSLEY'S POVAs soon as the phone was found, I began making calls.

    Rex's POVWell, it seemed I was in luck. Without waiting for an answer from the woman, I made my way towards the figure in an Italian suit, ignoring the guards around him. I was instantly shoved by the guard next to him, who did nothing to hide the revolver that he now had in his right hand."Hey, hey, hey. Easy on him, Crawford. Young man, who are you? I'm sorry, but you don't just walk up to people anymore, the city we live in is a mess."I smiled, then faced him squarely, ignoring the guard whose name I had just discovered was Crawford. "I'm Rex King, sir. And I've been trying to reach you for the past week."His eyes flew open, widening as soon as he heard my name. "Rex king? One of the greatest alphas to come out of the land of Cleveland? I'm sorry, it has been a very hectic week. You own The Eleven, right? When I heard that it was bought by a new entrepreneur, I was confused. Until I heard the name. You're a legend, man."I smiled at Clark, then shrugged."Thank you, Mr Bruc

    COLLINS'S POVI nodded, agreeing with Dahlia. I knew a few vendors, the man that I had purchased my bike from, he was a friend. Carl McDonald. He had a lot of good cars in stock. I could get a cheap deal from him. Even if it wasn't cheap, I was still going to get it. Dahlia was right. Maybe it was going to be alright if I spiced up Elena's life a bit. "I think that's a good idea, Dahlia. That's a clear and obvious reason why I came to you. You know, these kinds of things, it's always been better when you ask a woman. You're a woman like she is."Dahlia outstretched her arms, a huge smile on her face. "Well, what can I say? You know I did work like that once for a man, helping him decide gifts to get his wife while they worked on their reconciliation process. I'm guessing that's where I developed my talent for knowing the specific gifts to give out to people."I dropped the empty bottle of sprite after downing the contents. Then I yawned. "I think I'll be leaving now, Dahlia. And

    COLLINS'S POVWhile the news of the Governor's plane crash made its rounds around the city, I paid a visit to the house I had secured for Dahlia, my sister and her children to live. I just had to knock once, and the door was opened by Dahlia herself, dressed in an apron that was stained thoroughly with dough. She smelt of eggs, flour and milk, and I knew why. It was Saturday, and she was probably having a cookout with the kids, a practice that our mother had employed when we were younger. "Collins! We've not seen you in days! Where have you been? How have you been? Children, it's your uncle. Uncle Collins is here!"I smiled at the excitement in her voice, wondering how she was going to feel if I suddenly told her that I had been involved in the crash that had landed the Governor's plane in the river. "Well, you know what they say. I went on a personal retreat. I went to discover a bit of myself.""Uncle! Welcome uncle Collins!" It was Felix, his loud voice making my ear hurt momen

    Rex's POV"I think I should see my grandchildren one more time before going to Cleveland. What do you think, Rex? They deserve to know that their grandma is leaving. And Elena too, bless her poor soul."It was my mother's voice, and I tried to ignore the fact that I wanted her gone already. Her being around only complicated things. With the death threats I was receiving, the insecurity of the state and the upcoming elections, things were surely going to get messy. "These eggs are so good. Everything in general, you know. With Clark here, you don't need a chef around. You don't need these helpers, you know." She said again, dumping the eggs into her mouth.We were in the dining room, I sat at the head, Clark beside me, and my mother directly opposite me. A few years ago, the dining room would've been filled with my wife and two children. But at the moment, I didn't even know if they belonged to me. "Thank you, Mrs King." Was Clark's curt reply. "You know, mum, you've been talking

    Rex's POV The line went dead, and I stared at the phone in my hand. No matter how hard I tried, I could see that she was hell bent on making sure that those boundaries were felt and were put in place. Was there still hope when it came to her? Clark and my mother seemed to still believe, but I knew I had stopped believing a long time ago. Just then, the door opened, revealing Clark. He was dressed in a flannel shirt and jeans, two brown paper bags in his hands. He was supposed to get us specially prepared Chinese food from a Chinese restaurant, and I wondered why he had taken so long. "Come on, man. What has taken you so long? How's the food? I hope it's scorching hot, I need it that way."He nodded, then handed a pack to me which I accepted willingly. "I went to see Marie along the road. Decided to tell her the dangers lurking. She deserves to know. At least, one of them has to. And we can trust her not to tell Elena, but keep an eye on the kids as well. Which to me, is satisfac

    MARIE'S POV "Death threats?" I managed to voice out, my words coming out in the form of a croak. It was tiring. I could only imagine the reaction of Elena if she heard such news. She was going to go hysterical with worry. "It's actually connected to Rex, but they want to harm the twins. Not on my watch, Marie. I would rather die than see anything happen to those children, Marie. And I won't take it lightly on anybody I catch around them." He paused when the waiter arrived with the iced tea. I accepted it with a smile, sipping instantly. The chilliness and the flavor hit me, and I recognized that the news I had just received had made me slightly dehydrated."However, we're making plans. Serious plans. At the moment, we've decided to take the bakery just opposite the house. From there, I believe that we can strictly monitor the house and pounce on anybody around it."It sounded like a good plan. I was scared. Not even for my life, but the life of the little kids and the life of Elen

    Elena's POV"Well, that simply means you're the mother of special children, Elena." Marie began, looking at me as I tried in vain to reshape the biscuits that had seemed to go badly because the dough hadn't been well prepared. "Yes, I know that. They've always been special children from the start, Marie. I know you remember that. The problem now is their father. Is he a special man? I doubt it. He didn't believe me even though he knew the love we shared was extremely genuine. Forgiveness is hard, Marie."I managed to complete, staring at the biscuits before I put them into the oven. Marie was beside me in an instant, tickling me. "I know that forgiveness is hard, but he's the mother of your kids, Elena. You have to consider that. Since he saw you, he's done nothing but try to be a good father, and also have you on his side in support as well. But I can't tell if you're going to support him..."Something inside of me snapped. Why did everybody derive joy in telling me what to do all
