Elena's POV.

To be honest, this is probably my favorite part of the day. For some reason, the best time every 9-5 worker gets is when they get back from work. Kanu and Kiana had gone to bed immediately after dinner which I found weird. And talking about Marie, she was still setting up the record and right at this point, I couldn't help but thank God that I was not in the finance department.

I stepped out from the shower as I packed my black, wavy hair in a bun as I wore a white vest, and bum shorts that had white stripes at the side. I still couldn't understand why Rex made me his personal secretary in the first place. It all seemed like he just made me his personal secretary just to pamper me.

Even though Rex and I have been working in perfect synchronization during the day, it still hasn't changed the way I think of him and I knew what he was trying to do but then, I wished I could just walk up to him and let him know that no matter how much he tried to get me back, he wasn't ever

    CLEVELAND. Connor & Co Real Estate Firm. Helen's POV.I'm in a great mood as I walked into the Connor & Co Real Estate Firm. And as I walked into the building, dressed in my white shirt and black skirt that held my thighs well, and a sleeveless black jacket that was well fitted, I could feel this fast rushing sensation that was spreading through my spines. There was absolutely no way I could deny the fact that I was already falling head over heels for Kingsley. I proceeded to the elevator as I walked in and luckily for me, I was the only one in the elevator. I couldn't stop thinking about yesterday's night and whenever I remember how gentlemanly he was, I couldn't help but fall deeply for him. And whenever I had such current passing through my body, it was as a result of excessive excitement. “But why am I so excited about him?” I groaned lightly as I bit my lower lip. It was just five days here in Cleveland and I couldn't even at least control the feelings that were paving a way

    Owen's POV.I sat down across the table as I kept staring at Collins who remained quiet."I know you went speechless the very moment you saw my message." He muttered as he wore a grin."What do you want from me?" I asked as I frowned."You should know better by now, Owen. Your face doesn't scare me a bit!!" He snapped as he looked at him. I exhaled sharply as I looked at how confident he had become. Five years of being on the run ever since our last encounter in Massachusetts which never ended well. It happened so fast but then, with my father being the second strongest werewolf Alpha in New Kingston, and a successful businessman in Massachusetts which made it completely easy to get out. "You know what I find amusing?" I scowled as I looked at him. He rolled his eyes as he crossed his right leg across his left leg. He gently raised his head as he looked at me with his eyes which weren't widely open."I find your audacity commendable. Coming right into my city. Do you think you sta

    Owen's POV"Okay, this isn't anything we should take lightly." Owen scowled as he kept on pacing in the room. "I don't know why you take this lightly, Logan. Maybe you don't know how bad the situation is here." Owen groaned as he kept on pacing about."But how is that even possible?" Peterson snapped as he raised his eyebrows. "For five good years he has been on the run. None of us expected this, Owen.""He can't do anything." Logan cuts in.I paused for a while as I looked at Logan. I chuckled softly as I tried not to overreact but then, it was completely impossible not to overreact under this condition."This isn't the Collins you knew five years ago. The Collins I saw yesterday, I think it's best that none of us underestimate him for our own good." I snapped as I looked at Logan. Logan now wore a straight face as he looked at me. And I was more than glad that he was now beginning to understand the actual shit we were deep into. "Yeah, that!" I nodded my head as I looked at Logan.

    Elena's POV.I yawned, stretching my body on my bed as my alarm clock rang. I groaned as I was not fully ready yet to get up from my bed. "F*ck! F*ck!!" I cursed as I stretched my hand to the cabinet as I pressed the top of the alarm clock as it stopped ringing out loud. And even before I could return to my peaceful sleep, I felt a heavy thud on the bed as Kanu was now on my body. "Mummy?" He called out as he kept poking me and the moment I raised my head up, finally opening my heavy eyes, I saw Kiana who was running with so much force, also getting ready to make a jump on the bed. "Mummy, good morning." They both chorused the moment Kiana successfully landed on the bed. I groaned as I wrapped them in my hand. I printed numerous kisses on them as they giggled. "Mummy?" Kanu said excitedly as he dragged my right cheek, and Kiana did the same to my left cheek as they both burst into laughter. "Are you two making fun of mummy?" I chuckled as well. I remained on the bed with them f

    Elena's POV"You won't believe it." She said excitedly as she crashed down on the sofa next to the window. "He asked that I get your boyfriend's record for the day." She whined as she stared at me."Boyfriend?" I chuckled softly. "Did you ever give me a boyfriend?" I scowled. "And when did I even mention that I was interested in having a boyfriend?" I queried this time around as I looked at her. "Oh! Come off it. You know, you can't pretend forever." She scoffed as she looked at me. "I know you know who I am talking about. So, I will continue with my beautiful ever after story." She said as she chuckled softly and excitedly.I stared at her for a while as I could only see her mouth moving, and how she moved her hands because of the whole narration she was making.I still couldn't understand how she fell so deeply for Clark. But then, I couldn't come in between whatever she believes that she is having with Clark. I hated the fact that the only lady I had gotten as my best friend was

    Elena's POV"Are you sure you saw him?" She asked again as she looked at me."Nah, maybe I am just overthinking things." I chuckled softly as I looked at her. "Sure?" She asked again. "I know you saw something. Maybe we could just ask him when we get to work. Because there is absolutely no way I would believe that he is actually the new owner of this place." She chuckled.I knew she was only trying to ease the whole negative and tense mood right now but then, that wasn't what I wanted. "I guess he is a really mysterious guy." I snapped as she chuckled softly. "We have an hour and 45 minutes left to prepare and get to work. Hope you are keeping to time?" I sneered as I looked at her. "Why can't I just have a day off?" She groaned as she pouted her eyes out. "Maybe you should consider getting laid by Clark then." I scoffed as I rolled my eyes. "Heyyy, come on." She laughed lightheartedly as she looked at me. "But then, on a second thought, that wouldn't be a bad idea." She winced

    Elena's POVMarie's phone buzzed repeatedly."Marie?" I called out in a loud voice as I looked at the kitchen. "Someone is calling your line, you better hurry and answer it." I responded as I looked away."Was picking her even necessary?" I cursed as I forced the bread inside my mouth before sipping my tea."Are you being serious right now, Elena?" She scowled as she got back to the mini dining room, then she looked at my plate to see that I still had a handful of scrambled eggs plastered on my plate. She picked up her phone as she looked at the caller ID. She raised her eyes as she stared at me for a while, with a smile that seemed to be gradually escaping from her mouth.I rolled my eyes as I knew what she was about to say next."Come on, Elena!" She snapped as she finally had those broad smiles on. "This is him just being a gentleman and nothing more than that. Can you stop making it look like a big thing?" She queried as she looked at me.Her phone rang again and this time, she i

    Elena's POVI felt my heartbeat in an unrhythmically pattern and then, I perceived an unfamiliar woody, musky scent that made my nerves stand. I instantly fell in love with the freshly musky scent of whoever it was, who had just saved me from the humiliation of falling publicly before everyone. There was something totally odd about whoever had caught me from falling. My eyes remained shut for a while as I still couldn't get myself into believing what just happened and yes, I still had the full fleshed shame that came with a broken heel and also tripping off."Why do I all of a sudden feel safe here?" I tightened my eyes further before gathering the confidence to open it again. And my eyes had met with those familiar eyes that instantly struck me."Him? Him again?" I whimpered within as I felt my cheeks fluster. "Oh no, not now, please!" I cried as I pulled off, standing upright this time around as he looked at me."Umm, thank you!" I mumbled as I squatted to pick up my broken heel th

    Collins' POV."Who are you?" Jayson furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at me who was neatly seated down directly opposite him. "Come on!" Collins smirked as he looked at Jayson. "You look scared. Anything to hide?" He chuckled softly as he said calmly, still maintaining eye contact with Jayson who couldn't get his eyes off him yet."I should be asking you." Jayson responded coldly as he looked at me. I had no better option than to wear a broad smile on my face. Letting him know that I had my fears was the last thing I could ever do now. "Well, I have nothing to hide." I scoffed as I got up from the wooden chair I have been sitting down on. "You know, I must commend you, Jay... Jayson Holmes." I said in a pause intentionally, as I walked down to where Jayson was seated."You gave it your best shot but you should know, I am always one step ahead." I smirked as I looked at Jayson.I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked away at the dusty table. The cottage was pretty old and abandoned and

    Collins' POV."Are you okay, boss?" Ace asked as he looked at me. "Sure. I am okay, Ace." I muttered with a visible grin on my face. "Guess someone will be paying us a visit today." I shrugged as I looked at Ace. I stepped down from my motorcycle as I walked back inside the house. "Dahlia, my sweetheart." I said as I held her right arm. "Why don't you go shower and get dressed?" I mumbled as I wore a broad smile."What is wrong?" She furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at my eyes like she was trying to dig out the answer to her question. "Nothing." I answered briefly as I looked at her. "But I am trying to prepare breakfast." She sneered as she looked at me."I know, Dahlia. Don't you want to pay Owen a visit?" I shrugged as I smiled one sidedly as I looked at her.Ace remained there, lost completely as he couldn't figure out what I was trying to do.She stopped everything she was doing as she looked at me. "Owen? What are you trying to do here?" She chuckled as she looked at me.

    Collins' POV.I finally had the strength to get up. Everything was tiring but then, if I wanted this to work, I needed to keep working and I was already more than fascinated by Elena Toussaint. I got up from my bed as the sun ray that passed through the curtains made it impossible for me to continue my sleep. "Fuck!!" I groaned as I looked at my alarm clock. "8:00 am already? Must this fucking time always be in a haste?" I cursed as I threw it against the wall, causing it to break. I wasn't a fan of setting an early morning alarm clock. If I am to be punctual, then I will be and if I am to be late, then I will. I walked inside my bathroom as I brushed my teeth and then had my shower. I stepped out from the bathroom after cleaning my body, then walked inside my closet, which was a small room filled with black wardrobes and black cabinets that reached my waist.For some reason, I enjoyed wearing my boots but then, it was just another working day, and I had to go for something light

    Jayson's POV"We have a lot to talk about, Jayson." Alphonso said in a cold voice as he looked at me. He forced out a smile before looking at the ladies. "I see you folks are having a great ladies' time together." He grinned as he looked at Grace who looked sober now."Come on, Grace. Why the sober look now? What is wrong again?" He shrugged as he walked down to where Grace stood."You should be happy that he is finally home, and not keep this sober face of yours. At least, he would be joining in the banquet." He shrugged as he pecked her forehead."Now, go on, Grace. Smile." He mumbled as he smiled broadly, making Grace force out a smile. I still couldn't get my eyes for so long from Emilia and whenever I turned to her direction, she was fast enough to roll her eyes away. I expected nothing much either. I knew that I was definitely going to be the last person she would ever want to set her eyes on again."You can choose to tag along with me or, you stay and spend some time with yo

    Jayson's POV"Good morning, Emilia. What about it? How are you preparing for the banquet?" Grace turned to Emilia who was seated on the chair, reading a magazine."About the banquet. This can really be tiring most of the time, I must confess." She shrugged as she dropped the magazine, then turned to Grace."Guess it's a long tradition. It can never be scraped away. And we just have to also pass it down to the generations to come." Stephanie McKinsey scowled as she looked at Grace and Emilia.The banquet was held every year, in the ninth month of every year which marked the harvest season and also, they used this period to celebrate the moon goddess for keeping them safe and protecting their kind."If only Ian Eriksson would let me go for a vacation, I would be happy. He is adamant about this." Emilia groaned as she rolled her eyes. "And talking about you, Stephanie, will Helen be attending tomorrow's banquet?" Grace asked as she looked at Stephanie who remained quiet for a while. "F

    Alicia's POV"Look at me, Alicia." She said as she held my arms. "This is none of your business, and you don't want to get involved with it. The moment you satisfy your curiosity, it might be late already, Alicia." She said in a calm tone as she looked at me. I felt myself get weak instantly as I looked away. She was right but then, how could I forget the stranger from earlier today, Jayson Holmes?" I rolled my eyes as I forced out a smile as I looked at her. "Okay, fine. I won't get involved." I mumbled as I looked at her."I know you, Alicia. I know you can be very stubborn at times." She scowled as she looked at me."Promise me you won't get involved in any of these?" She asked again as she raised up her pinky finger as she wore a broad smile on her face. "Promise me, Alicia." "Fine, I promise." I responded as I brought out my pinky finger as she broke it before embracing me warmly."So, how is madam Cassie?" I asked as I looked at her. "How did your day go today?" I asked with

    Dahlia's POV."Keep me safe?" She chuckled softly as she looked at me. "Every day I curse myself for still being alive. Of what use am I to Felix and Veronica?" She cursed as she looked at me."Can we not go there now, Dahlia? Haven't we had enough of this argument already, Dahlia?" I shrugged as I got up from the black sofa I was seated on."Five years ago, I know you ended up working under Eriksson's firm and things got messy at the end of the day but that wasn't your fault in any way, Dahlia. You always let your guilt get the best of you which I don't find cool." He growled angrily as he looked at me. "It doesn't change the fact, Morgan. I got pregnant, I gave birth to those kids out of wedlock. I saw my entire life collapsing right before me, don't you understand that?" I fired back as I coughed."Is that why you attempted suicide 3 years ago? Huh?" He asked angrily as he looked at me. "All I ever did was to love you. To always be there for you. What if I had stayed back that day

    Collins' POV.I walked inside my apartment as I turned on the bulbs in the room. My black cat was peacefully sleeping on the mini bed I had made for him. I walked down to where it was as I squatted down next to her.I rubbed her thick furs as she curled up even more. "I see you are back, Morgan." Dahlia muttered as she rested on the wall. "What are you up to, Morgan? What's all this?" She questioned as she looked at me.I got up, standing upright as I looked at her. I pulled off my black dress boot, leaving myself just on black silky socks."What's going on?" I wore a frown as I looked at her. "I just sent the kids to bed. A man pulled in an hour ago and brought us here. Whose house is this? Why are we even here, Morgan?" She shrugged as she looked at me."You should be asleep, Dahlia. You know you are not strong yet." I said, furrowing my eyebrows as I looked at her. "That doesn't answer my question, Morgan." Dahlia rolled her eyes as she looked at me. "Last time I checked, we are

    Jayson Holmes' POV."Isn't that disappointing?" He asked as he used his werewolf speed to get to where I stood like he was about entering my body. "Who are you exactly?" I asked again as I looked at him. "And what's your interest in this society? It is common to protect our own no matter what evil is committed. We value family first, no matter what." I shrugged as I looked at him.He looked at me as he smiled at me. "It's fine, Jayson. Guess we will see some other time!!" He grinned as he looked at me. I heard a fast rushing sound from behind as I turned back to see what it was, and before I could turn back to the mysterious man, he was gone and the moment he was gone, his freshly woody and musky scent was gone already.I scanned the environment repeatedly as I was searching for him."Looking for someone?" I heard a familiar voice as I turned around to see who it was. "Oh! Here you are." I snapped as I looked at him. "Wasn't expecting to see you, Logan." I shrugged as I looked at h
