“H-how did you know?” Tinsely shuttered, she was still moving backward until her back hit the rim of the other side of the bridge. “How I knew doesn’t matter,” Alpha Lorenzo retorted in his husky voice. Tinsley held her chest tightly for support since there was no space for her anymore to move on to, and she fixated her eyes on her mate. Even if he learned that he was her second mate, that shouldn’t be a problem, right? “I... I... I am sorry, I am sorry I didn’t tell you but it wasn’t my fault, there was no way I could tell you since we have to keep our relationship a secret.” Tinsely voiced out the fact and Alpha Lorenzo’s eyes softened. “...you know, I am tired already. I am tired of keeping our bond a secret, and it’s makes me feel as if you don’t want me, and you don’t love me.” She said. “I love you.” Alpha Lorenzo quickly told her. “No, you do not love me, Lorenzo.” Tinsely said as she shook her head. “If you truly love me, then you won’t be hiding our relationship from p
“Who was poisoned?” A deep voice suddenly growled and it startled everyone as they turned to see Lorenzo. “Boss! It's Tinsely, she drank wine and she started to scream in pain!” Mary was crying as she explained to him “We all suspect her to be poisoned!” “What!” Lorenzo's eyes grew wide when heard what Mary had said, and he fought through the crowd just to get to Tinsely and everyone began to pave the way for him to pass.“Tinsely!” Lorenzo shook her vigorously but Tinsely was not waking up, she lay immobile and limbless in his arms as he hugged her to his chest. A heavy fear gripped Lorenzo for the first time in his life, he was extremely scared of losing his mate. “Get the car for me!” He growled, ordering his men while he held Tinsely up in his arms. Everyone was stunned at the length of care the boss has for his worker, Tinsley. One would have mistaken them to have a connection, or rather a relationship together. Carrying Tinsely in his arms, Lorenzo was hurrying towards one
Lorenzo want still advancing towards the doctor who has already passed out, his eyes glowing red with anger and wrath. “Lorenzo!” Someone shouted his name behind him, and he turned around to see Doctor Greenwood, his family doctor. “What are you doing, Lorenzo? Do you want go attract peoples’s attention, huh?” Doctor Greenwood is a wolf, and most of the patients in the hospitals are humans. It will be a very critical situation if rumors should get out that there was a wolf in the hospital, and everyone will start to panic. Although Lorenzo won't care at all, but him, (Doctor Greenwood) cares. “My —” Lorenzo wanted to growl the word ‘Mate’ but he immediately quelled, he doesn't want anyone to know who Tinsely was to him. “I understand, don't worry, I will check properly myself, okay? But first, you have to promise me that you will not cause any chaos further,” said Doctor Greenwood. He was not on duty when Tinsely was brought in, and when he came, he was told by the intern that
Back in the operation room... Lorenzo and Spencer waited impatiently outside the ward, most especially Lorenzo who paced to and fro in the long corridor. His hands positioned on his waist, his eyes grew dark by second as he sighs deeply for the umpteenth time. *Don’t worry, our mate will be fine* Jax said in his head. *Where have you been all along?* Lorenzo snarled at him in his head and Jax wriggled his tail. *Careful boy, you don't shout at me like that, and besides, you blocked me from communicating* Jax growled and Lorenzo sighs as he blocked him again. At that moment, doctor Greenwood stepped out and Lorenzo flickered his steps at him. “How is she?” He growled, impatiently waiting for his answer. Doctor Greenwood heaves out as he removes his hand gloves before lifting his head to give at the Alpha, he also Spencer standing behind him. “She is...Lorenzo's heart started to beat against his ribcages, and his hand tightened into hard fists with eyes darker than it even frig
#THE CITY... HOSPITAL# The next day, Lorenzo and Spencer spent the night at the hospital until morning. Lorenzo was too restless to leave his mate, and he has insomnia last night because of the sudden death of the doctor and how his case was linked with Tinsely. He was too confused to know what to do next... And the fact, he doesn't know who his ‘real’ enemy was makes him things feel more complicated. “Hey, why don't you go home and take a rest or a bath at least, I will be in the hospital until you are back,” Spencer says as he walks into the room where Lorenzo had spent the night. “No, I don't leave until I see Tinsely and makes sure she is fine,” Lorenzo stubbornly replied. Spencer sighed. “She won't gladly let you keep company with her if you are gonna smell like a poop close beside her,” he said and nearly laughed when Lorenzo started to smell his body. “Hey, tell me you are joking,” Lorenzo growled annoyingly when he realize that Spencer was messing with him. Spencer sh
#THE CITY... HOSPITAL# At the hospital, Tinsely was taking a short nap by the time Spencer, Lucinda, and Rosalie came in. “Sister!” Lucinda shouted, and she rushed towards the bed and hugged her. “Lu... Lucinda,” Tinsely stammered, slowly opening her eyes and Lucudina pulls away as she wept. “Oh my God, what happened to your bestie?” Rosalie gaped in shock as she got closer to the bed and hugged Tinsely shortly. “Ah, it's a long story,” Tinsely sighs as she struggled to sit up on the bed and she rested her head against the headboard the bed. “Jesus!” Rosalie closed her mouth as she tried to get over her shock. “Actually she was poisoned,” Spencer revealed and Lucinda's eyes widened in surprise. “Poisoned!” Rosalie gasped shockingly and her eyes broadened out of their sockets. “Yeah, she was poisoned and...” Spencer went on to explain everything to them. Lucinda folded her eyes tightly, and her eyes grew dark with anger. Her entire body was vibrating, and shaking in rage. Wh
#THE CITY... HOSPITAL# It was late afternoon, and Tinsely was still waiting for Lorenzo.Rosalie was still with her at the hospital, but she was not in the room at the moment.“I want to use the restroom,” she had said. “Okay,” Tinsely replied and she watch her best friend leave the room. Left alone in the room, she thought back to the moment that the waitress had poisoned her drink. Someone had sent her to do it, and she couldn't figure out who could want her dead. Well, thank God Lorenzo had caught the waitress and she will certainly make her confess who sent her to poison her. Laying flatly on the hospital bed, Tinsely cleared her brain as she tried to take a short rest, closing her eyes then she slept off. However, after a moment, Tinsely started to feel a shadow coming closer to her and she felt it standing close to her bed. She inwardly trembled, cold chills running down her spine and goosebumps grew on her skin. The undisturbed atmosphere became hot and edgy. Tinsley
#LORENZO’s MANSION# Tinsely was discharged at the hospital, and Lorenzo brought her to his mansion. “Finally,” Tinsely breathed out as she stepped out of the car after the car pulled up in front of the mansion. “Hahaha, I know that feeling, mate,” Lorenzo chuckled as he also stepped out of the car too. Tinsely walked briskly to the building, pulling off the hoodie Lorenzo had wore on her as she stepped into the mansion. “Fuck, I am—“It's not mannerly for a lady to use that foul language you know,” A deep voice said half way down the stairs, startling Tinsely as she looked up. She saw a tall guy standing half way the stairs, brown curly hair, and green small eyes. He has that indecency smirk on his lips. “H-hi,” Tinsely shuttered, and she watch how the guy gaited down the stairs. She was gulping down emptiness, nervously moving backward as she felt this weird sensations around him. The more she looked at him, the more she felt she has seen him somewhere. Wait for a second,
The full moon lingerie high in the night sky, radiating a silvery sheen over the clearing where the after-party for Tinsley and Lorenzo's coronation as Luna and Alpha was in full swing. The air was filled with gleeful laughter, music blaring in the air, and the scent of celebration. The pack members had gathered, enthusiastic to honor their new leaders and revel with them in their victory.Xavier, David, and Spencer, even Rosalie we're in the spot, they stood around the table where the center of the festivities was going on. They chatting happily, clutching their wines in their hand as they exchanged a few whispers.Xavier raised his glass and grinned. "To Tinsley and Lorenzo, our new Alpha and Luna of the pack! Long may they reign!" He hollered. “Cheers!” David and Spencer chorused, joining in the toast as they clink their glasses together. “It's time to dance, I wanna dance,” Rosalie giggled as she pulled Spencer with her. “Oh boy, I guess we are the single one then,” Xavier
*THE SEA—PORT* After some minutes, Lorenzo arrived at the seaport and he hurriedly stepped out of his car. His heart beating with deep anticipation, he just couldn't wait to confront Tems and rescue Tinsley. Walking through the abandoned area, a creepy breeze hung in the air and the ominous silence hovered. The spooky scenery heightened his sense of urgency, and he exacerbated his senses. All of a sudden, he caught sight of Honey who was standing a few feet away from him. She was chewing gum bitchily, and was putting on a sensual smile. Lorenzo's face hardened as he approach her with cautious steps, uncertain of her true intentions. When their eyes locked, he saw the flicker of lust flash through them. “Well, well, well, look who we have here,” Honey purr with mischievous eyes, walking in a circle around him. Then she stopped in her track, right in front of him as she said, “It has been a long time, Alpha.” “Why are you doing this?” Lorenzo asked meanly. “Because you neve
*LORENZO’s MANSION* It was a beautiful morning as Lorenzo woke up from his deep slumber, but the morning wasn't beautiful to him as he sat on his bed. He was fucking worried about Tinsely, his mind buzzing as he wondered where she could be. He had searched through the city, he left everything unturned and he sent his men to join the search too. But it all ended up with no result to show for it, she wasn't found and his heart was worrying immensely. The room was shimmering from the sun ray which was greeted by the morning sun screening through the curtains of his bedroom. Blinking away a scrap of sleep, Lorenzo stretched out his limbs and yawned softly, feeling exhausted from their search party yesterday. Just as he swung his legs over the rim of the bed, his gaze fell upon the alarm clock on his bedside table. It read 8:00 am, ascertaining that it was indeed morning. Hence. Lorenzo stood up, and he made his way to the bathroom. He needed to freshen up. Stepping inside, the c
*TEMS—PENTHOUSE* It was exactly noon when Tinsley woke up from her unconsciousness, she was feeling particularly messy, disoriented, and groggy. Finally, she regained consciousness, and her eyes grew widened shockingly when she saw Tems! He was lying next to her on the bed, and she attempt to move away quickly from him. However, her actions were terminated abruptly and she realized she was chained to the bed with her limbs constrained. “What!” A wave of panic, fear, and desperation to flee overcome Tinsley as she started screaming. “Somebody please help! Help me!” She was crying hysterically, and shouting for help. Her voice was resounding through the room, and that had stirred Tems from his nap. His eyes slowly blinked open, and a twisted grin crept on his face as he gazed obsessively as he enjoyed seeing her screaming in terror.“Hey, baby, what's wrong?” He asked, and he sat up on his butt. He tried you touch her, but she spits at his face. “Don't you dare touch me!” She s
It was a freezing morning as Jeannette walked briskly through the street, she couldn't wait to get home yet. After everything happened to Lorenzo, she had decided to lay low for now. The early morning haze swung in the air, summing up with an ominous atmosphere to the surroundings. Jeannette held her bag tightly, and she constricted her coat around her. Her footsteps reverberated against the pavement as she scurried towards her house which a few walks away.Just as Jeannette veered around a corner onto her street, a feeling of relief washed over her as soon as she saw her house a few blocks away. Finallyshe arrived at her house, and Jeannette fumble with her keys. Her breath were creating perceptible puffs of fog in the chilly air. Hence, she swung the door open, and stepped inside before shutting out the cold world behind her.Jeannette ambled to the couch, but she didn't sit as she struggled to remove her coat first. She could not even register her surroundings for a moment.
*ROSALIE’s APARTMENT* It was late in the evening, and the sun was just seeing below the horizon. Tinsley was walking through the streets, her face was pale and she was looking ragged. A few minutes later, she arrived finally at Rosalie’s apartment and she slowly opened the front door. Her body was dangling with weariness and her eyes filled with grief. Just as she stepped inside the living room, the aroma of freshly baked cookies swirled her nose as it flowed from the kitchen. Tinsely stomach crumbled hungrily, and at that moment, she knew she hadn't eaten since morning. Closing the door behind her, Rosalie scampered out of the kitchen with concern inscribed on her face.“You are back! Where have you been since last night? I was fucking worried about you, best!” Rosalie said worriedly, and she opened her arms wide. Tinsely wrapped her hands around tightly, then she rested her head on Rosalie’s shoulder. “I'm always fine, you don't have to worry about me, okay?” Tinsely softly
*LORENZO’s–MANSION* It was a luminous morning, and the sun was seeping into the room through the window. Tinsely gradually opened her eyes, and she quickly sat up when she realized she was sleeping on a bed that wasn't her own. A wave id confusion flashed on her face, and it was quickly replaced with shock as she recognized she was lying next to a man. Tems! “What!” A wild gasp fled out her lips, her heart was racing as she tried to comprehend what had exactly happened.Rosalia’s apartment... The bar... Startled by Tinsely’s sudden awakening, Tems stirred up from his slumber. Seeing her sitting up next to him, he smiled warmly ad he attempted to reach out and touch her. “Don't touch me!” Tinsely snapped, recoiling from his touch she slapped his hand off. Tems frowned, he tried again to touch her but she pushed him away their time with force."No! No! This can't be happening! This can't be happening to me!!!” Tinsely cried, her voice sounding whispering. Her entire body was t
*ROSALIE’s—APARTMENT* It was night already when Tinsley gradually regained her consciousness as her eyes fluttered open. A slight mix of confusion blurred her mind as she tried to make sense of her surroundings, she was inside a dimly lit room... As she looked around, she saw she was inside Rosalie’s room. Rosalie was sitting on the bed beside her, she was sleeping but with concerned expression on her face.Somehow, she stirred up from her sleep and she shockingly exclaimed, “Tinsley!" Her voice was buttered with both relief and worry as she moved closer, and immediately drew Tinsley in a a tight hug, holding her body close. “Thank goodness! You're awake, you don't know how much I've been so worried about you."Tinsley's head was still reeling, and her heart was racing rapidly as she struggled to put the whole piece together of what had happened. Reazling that, her eyes widened as she spoke in her trembling the voice which was barely above a whisper. “Tell me, Rosalie, is it tr
The morning rays gently screened through the window, and it was radiating a soft shimmer upon Tinsley's face. All of a sudden she stirred up, her eyes were deeply red and swollen from the tears she shed last night. The weight of the event settled heavily in her heart and her soul is crushed. In a slow motion, Tinsely stood to her feet and then she walked towards the window, her steps are quiet and mild. Getting to the window, she pulled the white curtains aside as she gazed cityscape before her.Lost in her mess thoughts, she continued staring silently at the scuttling streets below with her mind filled with the memories of the party. The consequence of it all felt stifling, and she yearned for a moment of peace amidst the disarray that had gobbled her life.An hour later, Tinsely still stood at the window, trying to sought comfort in her silent contemplation. Unexpectedly, the door of her room swung open, and Rosalie flew in, her face filled with intensity. "Rosalie?" Tinsley
