Two police officers were standing at the college entrance that morning speaking to some students. Cole's parents had requested an investigation to be opened after their son went missing. The police officers had been questioning the party goers and some of Cole's coursemates.

"When was the last time you saw him?" the eldest of the corps asked. He scratched his bald head.

The boy standing before them held his bag with both hands. "The last time I saw Cole was when he told me that he needed to speak to some girl and he left. I never saw him till date."

The bald corp scribbled something in his small notebook.

"Did he tell you which girl it was? I mean, the girl he wanted to talk to."

"No, he didn't. We all know Cole was into women so no one asked which girl it was. He went and we didn't see him afterwards." reported the boy.

"So you guys didn't leave the party together?" the other corp asked. He was a young man in his early thirties.

"I looked for him but couldn't find him after the part

    Kelsey walked into the lecture hall and met a group of students whispering in groups. She concluded that they were still talking about the Cole incident which was reported the previous day."I heard he was found in a ditch.""The wolves got him? How is that even possible?""How did he even get there?"Kelsey lowered her head and walked to the seat Janet had saved up for her. She smiled and sat."They are talking about Cole. His body was found." Janet whispered into Kelsey's left ear.Kelsey nodded. "I heard about it."The boy sitting next to Kelsey and Janet tapped Kelsey on the shoulder. Kelsey turned around to face him."Have you heard about what happened to our senior colleague? His name is Cole.""I....Everyone is talking about it." stuttered Kelsey."We don't want to hear about it." Janet fired at the boy. She leaned over to Kelsey and whispered "The boy is such a gossip.""Well, he was found in a ditch. The wolves tore him apart. I heard it was on the outskirts of the city. How

    "I'll walk you out," Dennis said and showed the detective the way out. He returned a few moments later and found Kelsey pacing back and forth in the living room."Problem solved. Maybe you can breathe now." Dennis said to Kelsey with a victorious smile.Kelsey stopped pacing and placed two fingers on her jaw. "Now I know why you were so confident from the onset of this problem," Kelsey said.Dennis crashed on the couch opposite her and crossed his legs. "I was being hopeful Kelsey, not confident," he replied.Kelsey sat too. She smiled and shook her head. "Stop lying Dennis. You knew all this was going to come to an end that's why you killed Cole. You said you had it under control and it seems like you always did."Dennis sighed. "I don't know what you are talking about Kelsey." He looked away."Come clean with me Dennis. You and I both know you planned this all with the detective. I'm wondering though. Did you tell him where to pick Cole's body or did he find it on his own?"Dennis

    Dennis drove them to the grocery store and when he pulled the car to a stand, Kelsey wanted to jump out but he told her not to. She sat back and folded her arms across her chest. Dennis signalled to her with his head, motioning that some members of their pack were moving into the store. Kelsey smirked. He opened the door for her and when she stepped out, he wrapped his arms around her.They made their way inside the grocery store hand in hand. Kelsey and Dennis kept whispering incoherent words to each other while walking into the store. Their faces were decorated with fake smiles.Dennis's right hand was around Kelsey's shoulder. She gestured to him to come with her to the fruit section and he followed her. Three ladies were standing beside the fruit section. All of them were wolves and Dennis identified them as members of his pack.Dennis gave Kelsey a peck on the left cheek and uttered to the hearing of the ladies. "I'll get the cart. You stay here sweetheart." Kelsey faked a smile

    Immediately after Kelsey reached the lecture hall that morning, she spotted Janet and pulled her to a corner. Her hands were slightly trembling and her voice was rippling."I'm restless Janet. I'm so anxious."Janet arched her brow. "What are you talking about Kelsey." She lowered the tone of her voice. "I hope it's not about Cole again."Kelsey replied. "It's not about Cole.""Then what is the matter? Why are you panicking."Kelsey sighed. "Dennis's mother told me she was dropping by the house this afternoon.""Okay. Is that why you are panicking? I thought you guys have already met. Why is she coming over an issue?" Janet asked and held Kelsey's hand. She led her to their favourite row.They sat. Kelsey palmed her forehead and shook her head. "You don't get it, Janet. She said she was coming to talk to me about something really important and I spent the entire night thinking about what it was. She sounded serious when she spoke about it.""And she didn't tell you what you guys were

    After the dinner, Kelsey saw Kate and Janet out of the mansion. She returned to the living room and fell on her face on the couch. She was anxiously waiting for Dennis to arrive. There were dozens of thoughts running through her mind. She was nervous, scared and sad. She couldn't tell which of her feelings was outweighing the other at that moment."And why are you lying that way?" came Denni's voice.Kelsey immediately turned around and sat up. "I was waiting for you.""Waiting for me? Is there a problem?""Yes, Dennis. There's a huge problem.""Can I at least freshen up? Or your problem can't wait?""No Dennis. We must talk about this issue now." Kelsey insisted.Dennis took off his necktie and dumped it on the stool. He sat and fixated his gaze on Kelsey. He was rubbing his palms against each other."This better be something good.""Your mom was here." Kelsey began. She heaved a deep sigh and pressed her eyes against each other."And?" Dennis asked."She wants me to plan this year's

That way, she won't be lost among the older women.Before the women arrived, Janet and Alice had assisted Kelsey in setting up the backyard. A large round table was placed in the backyard under a shade and stools were placed around the table. The table top carried a tray of fresh cookies, wine and glass jugs filled with juice.Kate and the two women who were much older than her arrived at noon. They were led to the backyard by Kelsey.

    Kelsey's smiley face was soon replaced by a blank one immediately after the bombshell dropped."Yes, Kelsey. When is your mating ceremony with Dennis coming up?"It then dawned on Kelsey that she had never thought about her mating ceremony with Dennis. They were yet to be bonded by blood and vow.Kelsey looked up and felt the women's eyes piercing into her soul. They were all wearing expectant faces."It's high time you and Alpha Dennis have your mating ceremony," Janet stressed. The rest agreed with nods."I was thinking about it and I wanted to talk to Dennis a few days ago but he was so occupied with running the pack but I think its time," Kate told them.Kelsey squeezed the paper she was holding and forced a grin."When one discovers his mate, the mating ceremony is held in a week or two." Meredith pointed out."Gilbert and I had ours in a week," Zoe replied.At that moment, Kelsey knew she was in a tight corner. The ground seems to have disappeared under her feet. She was feelin

She gathered the crumbs and stuffed them in the bin beside the table.The ladies cleared the table and moved to the living room. Kelsey sunk onto the couch and let out a groan of relief.Janet smiled and left for the kitchen. She returned with a bottle of cold water and passed it to Kelsey.Kelsey snatched the bottle away from Kelsey. "Thank you so much, Janet."Janet smiled. "So how are you doing Keley?" Kelsey drank the whole water in the bottle and took off her jacket. She flung it. "I'm doing great Janet but I'm damn tired.""Are you sure?" Janet asked.Kelsey sat up. Why is Janet so concerned about her wellbeing? Did she notice anything odd about her conversation with the women earlier? Could Janet be suspecti

    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
