"L-ord N- ikon..."Realization dawned on her, her eyes bobbing in their sockets in fright. Before she knew it, she fell on her knees before Oliver- having no choice than to plead. Hell- Nikon mustn't get to her!"I can assure you I won't bother you with my existence. I'll always make sure not to cross your paths henceforth. I also won't be a pain in the neck but please; let me stay here. I don't want to be thrown out of this pack, please. I promise I will be a good kid, I-"She quickly clamped her mouth shut at his stern look, creasing her forehead uncomfortably as she realized she's been a blabbering mess all this while.Oliver's eyes stayed rooted on her, gaging her every movements. His fists clenched by his sides, his jaw tensing alongside as he contemplated on his decision. Her bright eyes held so much pain and pleads while his held restriction.Savannah who stood right there behind her was rigid against the door, her eyes welling up with tears for her friend. No doubt, she knew th
"You are going nuts, Xavier. Is that what you called the meeting for?"Came Oliver's huff, looking as irritated as ever. While, Geneva raked his fingers into his hair before swiftly rising up his feet, consumed with annoyance."Obviously, yes."Xavier shrugged like it's nothing until Oliver overtook Geneva and was before him in no time to struck a cruel blow to his face."Just let him be, Oliver."Geneva quickly held him back, shooting daggers at Xavier who hastily brought up his hands in surrender. Oliver jerked his hand out of Geneva's grip and sending watchful Xavier a just-try-that-again-and-see look, before storming out of the living room."The sooner you go for a brain checker, the sooner you get healed. Fuck you Xavier, I can't believe I wasted minutes of my life just to listen to your shits."Geneva stated, shaking his head and also making his way out of the living room, tucking his hands into his trouser pocket."Well, I don't care about the starting day anymore. All I know is am
The door opened and she could swear, when the person climbed out of the car- Her breathing galloped.Geneva after shutting his car door behind him, wore his sunglasses and looked sideway. Madonna thought she dunked- or at least attempted to but he was quick to catch sight of her."Oh, shit."she mumbled, scolding herself as soon as she realizes there was no escape. Geneva looked around where she stood, in search of his sister. It wasn't like he cares though but because he wanted to see if she'd dumped her friend and left. Perhaps Madonna was then afraid to go home and... Well, he doesn't care about whatsoever had happened but would be glad if the two friends had parted and Madonna would no longer be staying under their roof."Where's Savannah?"Asking, he started approaching. She began to panic. It seems he cares so thus; she's going to first die by his hand because how on earth would she spill it out to him that his sister is missing?"Uhm, I... I..." She couldn't make out words, inst
Madonna could seen walking in the dark night to wherever her legs continues to lead her. Her arms were wrapped so tightly around herself, eyes snapping sideways occasionally for any danger as she took each steps. Her legs are starting to ache; it got so intense beyond compare that she made a stop by the roadside."Jeez, this hurts." she told herself, crouching down to the floor and slipping her heels off her foots. Taking the heels under her arm, she straightened up as her legs met with the cold, bare tarred road.She was about continuing her work but stayed rooted on the spot. Is there even a need for her to keep walking without even a particular whereabout? It's been an hour now but yet, she was still wandering in the dark night. Had she known the way back to the palace, she would have been there on this while. Geneva whom she could have asked for help on his exit out of the store completely snubbed her and drove away. Now she's all left in this scaredy situation, in between danger
"Why are you still alive?"Madonna and Savannah looked straight up at the door at the same time upon hearing the query. Savannah gulped down uneasily, shoving the plate of food towards Madonna and rising up her feet. Straightening up her crop top, she speechlessly stood still; not even knowing the proper way to respond to him. Meanwhile, the glares from Oliver was still coming non-stop."I'm alive because... I don't know Oliver but all I know is am still alive."She quickly put out words, almost messing up things but had quickly recomposed herself.Her response alone heighten his anger, his hand curling up into fists beside him. Giving her one last look, he turned around and stomped off.After Madonna was finished watching the scene, she looked away and started eating the food. As soon as Savannah looked away from the door and right down at her, she picked up her eating pace."What the hell, Madonna"Savannah gasped, dumping herself on the floor hastily. She chuckled as Savannah pushed
As she got into the passenger's seat, a frown was etched unto her face as she begrudgingly buckled up her seatbelt and leaned into the seat, folding her arms over her chest and maintaining a poker face."You seem so annoyed than you should be simply because I pointed out your tricky ways. You'd better get the look off your face or I might have to drop you off the street and just get my ass away. After all, I have far more important stuffs to tend to."A scowl crept unto his face as he ignited the car's engine, driving out of the compound.She hesitated; wanting to act more repulsive but decided against it, Sighing out to in other to quickly relieve herself of the frown, she rubbed at her cheeks.He smirked, looking at her from the rearview mirror as she pressed her lips into a thin line- doing anything to get the frown away. A second later, silence waltzed upon the two of them, each lost in their heads. As he drove, his hands tightened against the steering wheel as he reminisced on th
"Can I come inside?"Madonna pressed her ear against the door before raising her knuckles up and knocking against it. She sighed upon getting no response, and just opened the door, slipping in and closing it behind her.Savannah was sprawled out on the bed without a word but quickly pulled the bedsheet over her body as she heard her coming closer."Honestly Savannah, this is so childish coming from you."Madonna remarked, sitting at the edge of the bed and staring blankly at the way."I understand you feel insecure of telling me things about your past but you have to know we all have circumstances surrounding our past too. You never judged me with my choice of earning a living so it will be most dumbest thing if I decide to do otherwise. You aren't even the mistress, Savannah. You are no way related to how your mother had lived her life back then so you shouldn't start feeling bad simply because you think you feel associated with her.""I think I should go and sleep. Goodnight." She swi
Her eyes widened horrifically as she pointed her middle finger at the figure. What's he looking for? No, what's he doing here?"Alpha Xavier!"She half yelled exasperatedly, like a predator that just caught its prey red-handed."Oh..."Almost acting shocked but quickly recomposing himself, he turned around and faced her. He stated rather than asked "You're back.""Yes, I am but what are you doing here? I understand the fact that this is Savannah's room but I don't know... I feel like you sneaked in or something."she disregarded her negative instincts and choosed to speak out her mind. They both stayed silence for a good one minute before Xavier rubbed his palms over his sides and raised a bracelet in the air."I came to get my property out of her drawer. You possibly can't question me for that because an the Alpha. I can go wherever I also pleases to take whatsoever I want. Now if you'll leave the way, I need to get out."She nodded, even though she was a little hesitant. She withdrew
The End Geneva and Xavier dismissed the maids after they were done bringing their luggages in. Both having turned around at the same time to check out their new abode, a tight smile crawled on top Xavier's face. Putting back on his sunglasses, he shrugged indifferently at Geneva. " At least now we'll be able to concentrate solemnly on our duties- as Alphas at that."" Yeah, you're kinda right." Geneva nodded in agreement. The mansion been so freaking huge with its funitures and interiors costing a whomping sum of money, they found no problem with it. And also, it's one of the properties owned by them. "Do you think Oliver will be fine? He reluctantly agreed to it when we told him of our decision to leave." Just as Xavier was climbing up the stairs to explore inside, Geneva questioned him. Almost like he just heared the unbelievable, the rate at which Xavier snapped his head towards him was quite snappy. " Did you just ask that?" Xavier wagged a brow at Geneva who wagged a brow, in
STIR UP Why does that name stir up so many emotions in my heart? Hearing him say her name while kissing me was the worse thing that could have ever happened to me. How could I continue kissing a man who called me by another woman's name?It means that he was thinking about her while kissing me. The realization hits me so hard that I feel the air get knocked straight out of my body. He didn't know he was kissing me this entire time; he thought he was kissing her. This fact breaks my heart into two. All along, I was hoping that Kane knew he was with me, that he knew how close we were, that he was enjoying it, that it was making him happy. Now I know that he was thinking about her, the woman he was deeply in love with. He loved and missed her so much that he mistook me for her; for Maya.I didn't know her. I knew nothing about her but yet I didn't think I'd ever been more envious of a woman in my entire life before. How stupid was I? How could I envy a woman I'd never met? She did nothi
LAST EVENT I can't let her continue to touch me like this. My crazy heart likes it too much when it shouldn't. She's making me feel things that I promised myself that I never would until I found Maya.I don't know what's happening to me. Why do I act like this girl is my mate? I didn't only kill that man from earlier because of what he did; I also killed him because I wanted to from the moment I saw him trying to flirt with her.My reaction to her was driving me f*****g crazy. When would I stop this? What did I have to do to stop feeling this way for her? Every time I tried to push her away, something like this happened, pushing me closer to her than ever.I didn't want to snap at her, not after what almost happened to her tonight.I imagine Maya in front of me, and I see the look of disappointment on her face. She's disappointed in me for being so weak and once again letting her down. I couldn't even control my urges around another woman. I never knew that I was this soft.How coul
STEPPING AWAY"I'll return to the party," I tell him as I step away from him. It's hard for me to do it, but he's leaving me no choice. He doesn't want me here. “It's clear that you don't want me here. I won't stay where I'm not wanted. All I wanted to do was to help you as you helped me. I wanted to hear your story; you remember everything from your past while I remember nothing. I don't know who my children's father is, and I don't know my name. I don't know my family. I don't know anything. I don't know if people are looking for me, and I don't know if someone did this to me or if losing my memory was an accident. I don't know why I'm telling you this; you don't want to hear it. I'm just trying to say that while I don't remember anything about my life, you remember everything about yours. And whatever it is that you remember, I can tell that it's hurting you. I'm sorry if I overstepped my boundaries; as I said, I only wanted to help."Kane doesn't say anything; he isn't looking at
ASTRAY My mind was racing as I tried to make sense of his words. Was he referring to the woman he was with before he decided to marry Giselle? Is she the reason why he's always looking like this? How much did he care about her? Did he love her? There were so many questions on my mind. I needed the answers, and I had to get them now. I felt like I would go insane if he didn't tell me who she was."Who is she?" I whisper. I can't even recognize my voice. I'm scared, actually scared, to find out that this was the woman he loved. I'm not sure how I would react to this, knowing that there was a woman out there that Kane loved this much. A woman that left him in a state of depression. He doesn't have to tell me. I can see the answer in his eyes alone. But I still want to hear it. I won't believe it until he opened his mouth and told me.I wait for his answer, but it never comes."Who is she?" I ask again. "How can you say something like that without explaining yourself? I want to know who
UPCOMING "Yes," Kane finally answers. "You weren't waking up, and I knew you had plenty of things planned for us today. I had my friend, a doctor, make sure that everything was okay. He told me that it's important that you rest for a few days."Giselle shakes her head, "I can't rest when we've already lost an entire day together, Kane; we need to make up for the lost time. I have some friends coming over tonight; I didn't realize I'd been sleeping for so long. I want to introduce you to them. They will be happy to know that I've finally gotten the man of my dreams.""Do you think that's a good idea?" he asks her. "I don't want to see anything happen to your health; it was hard being by your side today and seeing you so sick. Please reconsider."Giselle smiles, and it's weird to see her look this happy all at once, "thank you for showing me your caring side. If I had any doubts about our upcoming marriage, they're gone now. You're going to make a wonderful husband and father to our f
WAKES UPI had the list of their enemies. I needed to remove the ones that didn't have sisters; that would be rare to find, but it was all I had to work with. My plan will only work if the person who wrote the letter about Maya was telling the truth.I hold the paper tightly in my hands; this is the first lead. I'm not going to stop here. The next chance that I get, I'm searching for her.I don't care where you are, Maya. I will find you, and I will make things right between us."Kane!" I heard someone shout my name. I turn towards the sound, and I recognize the person immediately.It's the same girl from before who protected me from Maya's brothers. I didn't want to stay and speak to anyone, but I think I had to at least listen to her after she saved my life. She's why I can live to find out what happened to my mate."What is your name?" I ask her.She looked startled when I asked her, but she quickly answered, "Gabriella."I nod, "not that I'm not grateful that you saved my life bef
NUZZLE I felt the girl smell me earlier. I'm sure of it. Her actions both puzzled and did things to my body that I would rather not think about. Why did she trust me as much as she did? What was it about her that continued to draw me in? She was a puzzle to me, a puzzle that I had to keep away from. She kept doing things that surprised me; I was never sure what she was about to say or do. It was easy to say that I would never have a dull moment with her. I've had people hate me from the moment they met me, who judged me. She was probably one of the first women who thought of me as someone they could trust blindly.Thinking about her while she wasn't even near me was off-limits. From now on, I had to be harsher on myself. I had to do it because I couldn't disappoint the one person that mattered to me.I look up from where I'm standing.I don't know why I'm in front of Maya's home; I wouldn't be here if I had another option to find my mate. I knew that the only way I would be able to
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWO:- BACK THEREI want to scream in frustration when Kane closes his arms around me. I'm not allowed to feel this way for him. The man doesn't even like it when I say his name. I felt his reaction when I held onto him earlier; he was unhappy about it. I think he hates it when I'm near him. He hates it when I touch him and he hates it when I speak. What was wrong with my body? Why do I act like this isn't the first time we've been this close? Why does my heart tell me that I should remember him? Why do I want to hold onto him and stay this way forever?There is no way that I knew Kane.My stupid heart was crazy for thinking otherwise; that's the only explanation I can think of. If Kane knew who I was, he would have recognized me by now. Instead, he acts like I'm a stranger, someone he doesn't want to ever be around.I'm glad that he's treating me this way; if he'd continued to be kind for no reason, my heart would have continued to waver. It's something that co
