Jayson Holmes' POV."Oh! Here you are." I mumbled as I walked up to the VIP section which was occupied by the children of the founding member children.It was such an honor seeing the shock on their faces as I walked in, interrupting their conversation."Uncle. Jayson?" Logan jolted up immediately as he looked at me. He couldn't take a step forward as the shock had overwhelmed him already. It's been fifteen years since I left New Kingston, and there was only one thing that brought me back to New Kingston after all these years of staying away.And that was to find the killer behind Liam Bohen's tragic death. Everyday, I curse myself upon realizing that I had ignored my wolf's constant disturbance. I would have been there that fateful day when he got murdered, but then, I thought my brother-in-law, Alphonso Bohen, had better ways of protecting his own heir, Liam.I looked at all of them, and all it did was to bring back memories. Memories I wished to bury forever.Not just happy memo
Jayson Holmes' POV.I grinned as I turned back to Logan. We both stared at each other for a long while before I looked away. "I was hoping I could get a warm welcome, an embrace or even a kiss on my cheeks but then, I met the angry Logan after fifteen years of being apart." I mumbled with a smile on my face."I don't know what game you are trying to play here, uncle. Jayson but I am not interested in it!" He scowled as he picked up his glass cup that still had liquor in it.It was okay. Fifteen years being away, I had gotten used to using my werewolf abilities for my own good, and the more I worked on my senses, the more they remained very sensitive and stronger."And you should be the sweetheart, Patricia Shepherd." I mumbled as I rolled my eyes. "How lovely it is to see you again, Tricia." I muttered as I got closer to them."You know, while growing up, my little boy, Liam, always enjoyed your company. You were such a life to reckon." I said with a smile."I knew I would find you gu
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
