Chapter Eighteen

Sean stared hard at her as if he could look right through her.

His stare made Kesley shiver in fear, he still had the ability to instill fear in her with just a look.

Kesley wanted to smile at him, but the expression simply wouldn't form on her face so she mustered enough courage to give him a stare down too.

Whilst their little exchange was on, Dennis was engaged in a discussion with his Beta and turned to her when he was done.

"It's time to announce our mating."

"Isn't it too early, we just got here." Kesley said.

"Of course not, I do not plan to spend the whole night here, I'll prefer we announce it and get back home, I have a lot of things to do later tonight." He explained and turned just as soon as his Beta mounted the podium.

He walked to the kitchen to bid her goodbye, Kelsey quickly prepared a coffee and handed it over to him, "Good morning", she greeted. He smiled and took the coffee cup from her, he sipped it, "Thank you", he replied and took his seat on the dining table. He watched Kelsey cook and was forced to voice out, "Kelsey", he called. Kelsey stopped what she was doing and ran to him, "You called me" she said, bending her head. "I want you to start behaving like your normal self, I don't want you to become too nice to me, it is uncomfortable", he grumbled.

    Dennis took the lead and Kelsey walked behind him. They strolled to the college registrar's office and while they were approaching the unit, they noticed how the three humans settled at the secretary's station were gawking at them like an appetising meal. The men had their eyes on Kelsey while the woman couldn't take her eyes off Dennis. Kelsey stopped at a corner, a bit far from the prying eyes of the people. She decided to wait for Dennis who had gone to meet the secretary. Dennis walked up to the secretary and flashed a smile. He presented his card to her. "I'm Dennis. The college registrar is expecting me. We spoke this morning." The middle-aged secretary glanced at her wristwatch. "He's having a brief meeting with the departmental heads right now. He'll be done in about five minutes then you can go in. He's expecting you too." Dennis smiled and moved to Kelsey. Her head was lowered and both her hands were on her handbag. "Are you okay?"

    Kelsey staggered up and was now on her feet. She felt a sharp pain on her forehead which caused her to groan slightly. She rubbed her forehead with her left palm tenderly and pressed her eyes against each other. She saw a girl about her age, standing before her, slightly groaning too. It was the girl whom she bumped into. Kelsey sighed and took steps toward the red-haired. She began to apologise. "I'm so sorry. I didn't see you. I was trying to stop the cab and... "Are you crazy?" the girl screamed at Kelsey. "Huh? Answer me. Are nuts? Can't you watch where you are going?" she thundered. Kelsey sighed and shook her head. "I didn't bump into you on purpose. I was rushing to get into the cab and before I realised it, I ran into you." she tried to explain. Kelsey watched as the girl's red lips parted. The girl cast her gaze to the ground and Kelsey's attention was drawn to the mess they created when they collided. The girl was holding her books in her hands when they bumped into each

Kelsey subscribed to the offer and they sat back.They talked for a while and when they were about to leave, Kelsey dipped her hand into her bag and pulled out some notes but Janet forced her to place the money back."I said it was my treat. Remember?"Kelsey smiled. She had eaten a lot and felt that the bill was going to be a bit high for Janet so she wanted to contribute."Why don't we go Dutch? "Janet smiled and shook her head. "You still want to pay?""I know it's your treat and I appreciate that offer but I'll appreciate it more if we split the bills," Kelsey replied. "Please?" she quickly added. Janet agreed with a nod and they collectively sorted the bills."Why don't I take you round the campus? I mean, a bit of sightseeing if you don't mind?" Janet offered immediately after they stepped out of the restaurant."That will be great. But only if you will take me to t

    After what seemed like seven eternities to Denis, ~b~ was finally done. He traced the car out of the pack to an abandoned village just outside of it. It was like a small community of outcasts and displaced wolves that have fallen from grace or that needed a place to hide. A town of misfits, simply put. “I already sent for your men.” Peter said tossing Denis the car key.“I don’t need my men to kill that bitch.” Denis answered stomping out of the room.“But you might need them to clean up after.” Peter yelled running after him.Denis drove like he had more than one life. He grip the steering wheel the same way he intended to grip Janet's neck and his jaw was clenched so tight.“You're going to get us both killed!” Peter yelled. He also enjoyed driving fast but Denis was way past his speed limit and he was beginning to cherish his life way more than he ever did.“Hold on tight.” Denis said and went even faster than before, speeding past all the cars on the vast road.They were sooner t

    ~b~ arrived at the hospital after he had put theentire pack on lockdown. He texted Denis to inform him of his arrival and Denis called and asked him to meet them at the last door to the left, upstairs where they went to check security footage but the only thing ~b~ heard over all the loud whispers of the nurses was security footage.The whole hospital knew there was something big going on, rumors had spread like wild fire but just like every rumor, none of them were accurate. It was all hear-say, everyone has a different story of the same incident. When ~b~ asked for directions to the room where Denis asked to meet, no one asked him questions like they would have on a normal day. Peter, Denis and Ophelia were staring at thecomputer screen, the CCTV footage from the nursery was playing. Everything that happened there earlier was unfolding right before their eyes. They all watched the nurses put the baby in their cot and leave. They also saw them wave to the nurse in charge of the bab

    Denis stormed out of the room in anger pushing past Ophelia.“Make sure she’s fine.” He ordered pointing at an unconscious Kelsey before walking through the door. He ransacked his pocket to call the first person he always seems to call whenever there’s trouble. “There is a problem.” “I'll be right there.” ~b~ answered without any hesitations whatsoever “Wait.” Denis said without a warning that he was still on the phone and it almost made ~b~ jump out of his pants.“I need the entire pack on lockdown, no one goes in and no one goes out!”“Got it.” ~b~ said and this time remembered to end the call. Ophelia comes running towards Denis with yet another bad news. There’s only so much a man can take. “S—si—si” she stuttered because Denis' glare had made even the words scared of coming out.“Speak!” Denis yelled like he was not aware of the power of his glare.“Yo—yo—your wife.” His glare got even more intense, it was burning a whole through Ophelia's shaky body.“What happened to my

    Kelsey was brought to the healer’s house where she was to deliver her babies. Denis puthis hand over her shoulder and tried to pacify her but Kelsey was not buying any of it. She continued to scream and unconsciously scratch Denis neck with her claws but Denis didn’t mind it. He knew she was in pain and he could almost physically feel her pain too.“It’s going to be okay.” He told her but she glared at him and yelled that it was not going to be.“My babies are not due yet!” She told him and even though he lost track of the due date while he was busy searching for her and didn’twhether she was right or wrong, he nodded in agreement. The healer finally came to save Denis from his wife and she was taken to the delivery room.She still continued to yell at the healer but the healer had seen enough women in labor in her laugh time to know that Kelsey's behavior was completely normal. “You need to explain why my babies are coming now instead of the due date!” Kelsey demanded and the healer

    And there it was. The silence Denis literally killed for. Simon's manic laughter no longer filled the air and now what they were left with was Jerry’s silent sobs. “You better start talking if you know what’s good for you.” Denis said and Jerry starts to wail even louder. “I have no idea what he was talking about, I swear. Simon spent most of his years trapped inside a clinic, you can’t believe everything that came out of his mouth.” Jerry said vigorously wiping his tears while staring at Simon's body.“You’re the liar!” Kelsey shrieked. Denis arms were still wrapped around her keeping her in place. “I’m not lying I swear! I didn’t kill your parents.” Jerry continued to defend himself and it pissed Kelsey off even more. “I saw the fucking pictures, you sick stalker! I saw everything!” Kelsey finally blurted outhaving kept it in for too long, she had had enough of Jerry’s lies. Jerry went stiff, his tears that were falling endlessly seized and it seemed like something got stuck in

    The road to the cabin was hardly even a road. It was just a thick fog of leaves and trees, basically a forest but with tire tracks.“I thought you said your family used to come here?” Denis growled at Jerry when the car bumped into something for the umpteenth time. “We used to, like a million years ago.” Simon snapped back, he was in an uncomfortable state at the back, therefore taking all the hit of the car. He’d bumped his head a million times, he was sure it was going to give in and crack anytime soon.“I think they’re building something out here.” Peter commented. “These tire tracks, they’re not just your regular tire tracks, it’s definitely from a heavy machine, look how deep it sunk.”“I don’t give a shit what they’re building, it’s out of my jurisdiction and I just want Kelsey.” Denis answered and increased his speed ignoring every bump on the way and letting Jerry bear the brunt of it “It’s the other way.” Jerry said pointing with his head.“You better not be bullshitting

    Denis felt relief wash through his skin.Kelsey was fine. His woman was alive! He didn’t let the feeling of relief lag his brainthough.Kelsey was alive but she was also in danger and she had called him to rescue her. He couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.“Was that really Kelsey?” ~b~ asked worriedly when he saw the look on Denis' face. They were about to go another drive around the pack when he stopped walking and started acting like he was possessed and he could see ghosts but when he mentioned Kelsey, it started to make more sense.“Yes and I need your help with something.”Denis answered quickly. “What?” ~b~ asked readily. “I need you to help me find some place, Kelsey gave me a description but I can’t figure it out.”“Sure, I’ll grab my computer.” He said and ran back inside while Denis trailed after him with the same speed.Everyone turned to look at them when they burst through the door. “What’s going on?” Kate shrieked asking the question on everyone’s mind. “Kelsey reac

    His call didn’t last as long as Kelsey would have hoped which was forever. He was back in a few minutes and he returned to his initial position, only this time his knife was no longer with him. He had mindlessly dropped it when his phone rang a few minutes before, but he was still unaware that it was missing.“I can’t say this enough but I’m going to make you miserable.” Simon said and Kelsey sobbed, dabbing her tears with the back of her left hand and concealing the knife. She had stretched herself beyond her capacity trying to get the knife when Simon dropped it and she had succeeded and her it hurt a little below her belly. “I’m going to make you mine forever but I’m never going to love you.” His words were like stab wounds to Kelsey’s heart. Make her his?Over her dead body. “I’m going to put my seed inside of you and make you even more beautiful than you looked when he met you. I’m going to parade you with my baby in your tommy all over his face but I’m never going to love

    More days continued to pass and Kelsey couldn’t even keep track of when it was day or night, the cell was continuously dark and the silver cage was even worse. She had never been in such a small space for such a long period of time. Every part of her body ached and she wasn’t getting enough food. Simon only remembered to feed her at nightand on rare occasions he brought leftover pizza in the morning.She had no idea where she was, if she was still in the same city as Denis or even the same country and sometimes it felt like she was in an entirely different world.Her babies were kicking in her stomach uncomfortably. Everyday she prayed that she didn’t have to give birth to them in a silver cage. She talked to them when she was bored and sad and she was so sure that they listenedbecause they kicked her stomach in response. She told them stories like Denis used to every night even when she herself was asleep, she begged them to stay healthy and be patient for her to escape from the
