*THE HOSPITAL* It was late evening, and Tinsley is still at the hospital but Rosalie has gone home. Currently, Tinsely is sitting beside Lucinda’s bed in the hospital room, her eyes brimming with tears. She felt extremely helpless and alone, she felt as if the world had turned its back on her completely. All of a sudden, Tinsley took out her phone from her purse, then she promptly dialed Lorenzo's number, she was hoping to find solace in his voice. A few minutes later, the phone was still ringing, and she prayed he would pick up."Hello?" Lorenzo's deep voice came through the other end of the line.Tinsley took a sharp breath, her voice does strange flickers in the pit of her stomach. “Lorenzo, it's Tinsley," she sniffed, her voice cracking with emotion. "It's Lucinda... she's in the hospital."“Huh? What happened?” Lorenzo's tone was muffled and softened. Tinsley sniffled again, then wiped away a tear from her face, then she continued. "I don't know, she was just throwing up
“Lorenzo, what's going on? You ain't saying anything to me,” Tinsely said, looking worriedly at him.Lorenzo took a deep breath, hesitating for a moment as he looked at her unsurely. “Yes, uh..., there's something important that I need to tell you, and It's about..." Lorenzo trailed off again, and she became more curious. “Come on, Lorenzo... What is it?” Tinsely's expression became even more serious. Before Lorenzo could continue, the door swung open and a doctor walked in, interrupting their conversation.He is a middle-aged doctor, wearing a white coat and a concerned expression on his face. He glanced at Lorenzo and Tinsely, acknowledging their presence."Excuse me, please, I just need to check on the patient," the doctor told them, making his way as he walks to Lucinda's bedside.Lorenzo and Tinsely exchanged a quick glance before turning their attention back to the doctor.After a few moments of examining Lucinda, the doctor turned to them with a grim expression."I'm sorry,
*DAVID’s—MANSION* Amelia stood in front of her mirror, she was adjusting her outfit and makeup. She had put on her best dress, a stunning black number that hugged her curves in all the right places. Hence, she matched it with a glistened lipstick which she splurged on her lips, a deep red shade that made her feel extremely confident and sexy.Tonight she was gonna seduce David! She has tried hard to get close to him, but he always pushed her away. Seeing that, she couldn't help but feel like he hated her every goddamn second. It was extremely frustrating because she couldn't understand why he was so ruthless to her.Tonight, she decided to dress up in her titillating outfit and she made sure she put on a tight, low-cut dress. For hours, she has spent doing her hair and sexy makeup, making sure she looked flawless.When she was finally comfortable with her appearance, she sauntered out of her room and made her way to David's room. Getting to the door, she didn't bother to knock
Just as Amelia raised the knife, she was ready to strike at Tinsley who closed her eyes in terror, waiting for the inevitable. However, to her surprise, Amelia abruptly halted and grinned meanly."You know what? I've suddenly changed my mind,” she said. “Huh?” Tinsely was confused, opening her eyes widely to gaze at her. “You heard me, I won't kill you, but that's because I have something else in mind," Amelia told her, her voice sounding cruel and menacing.Tinsley looked at her, perplexed and extremely scared she asked her impatiently, "W-what are you talking about, Amelia?""Oh dear, I am going to burn you alive in here," Amelia answered, with a devilish smirk.“What! No, you can't do that to me!” Tinsley's eyes widened in horror, "No, please! I beg of you don't do this!" she pleaded with her.However, Amelia was not in the mood for mercy or to show compassion as she straightens herself. “Oh Tinsely, you should have thought twice before making David fall in love with you again.
It's been five minutes since they left the mansion, and Spencer's car was speeding through the dark city. The city is dark and silent, giving off an eerie feeling, and the only sound was coming from the engine and the wheels as they hit the empty roads. The city was subtle, with no people in sight, and the only thing that could be smelled was the beating of their breathing and the thumping of their hearts.The immense tension in the car was discernible, with everyone on border as they struggled to process what was happening. Lorenzo was slouched in the backseat, the effect of the wine still taking its toll on him but his raw anger could be felt as he fisted his anger. “Drive faster!” He growled at Spencer. “Yes, Alpha!” Spencer uneasily replied, focusing his eyes ahead on the road. Meanwhile, Tems who was sitting next to Spencer secretly scoff at Lorenzo as he clenched his hands into strong fists.A few minutes later, Spencer finally pulled up to the abandoned house, and he park
*LORENZO’s–MANSION* It was a bright and luminous morning, and Spencer had been sitting by Lorenzo's side all night, watching over him as he lay almost lifeless in his bed. He had been extremely worried about his best friend and hoped to see him wake up. He knew that Lorenzo was deeply anguished, not after seeing the devastating impact of Tinsely's supposed death on him.“Please wake up, Alpha...” Spencer sighed deeply, he was staring intently at Lorenzo’s face. Through the transparent curtain in the room, the morning light was slowly filtered in through the windows... A few minutes later, Lorenzo's groan was heard as he unhurriedly unfurled his eyes. “Alpha!” Spencer shouted, his eyes widened for a second, then he breathed a sigh of relief and leaned in closer to him."Hey, man. Tell me, how you feeling?" asked Spencer, his voice laced with deep concern.Lorenzo was looking up at him blankly, but Spencer could see the pained expression written in his eyes. “I feel like I've been
*ROSALIE—APARTMEN* Lucinda was sitting on the couch, she was staring at the TV in front of her. Her mind was completely blank, and she couldn't bring herself to think about anything. The death of her elder sister, Tinsely had hit her hard, and she was still battling to come to terms with it.However, it was pointless. At that moment, Rosalie came out of the kitchen, and she was seen, carrying a tray of food. “Lucinda, it's time to eat. You need to take care of yourself, okay?” Rosalie said, hoping she would listen to her as she placed the tray on the coffee table."I'm not hungry, Rosalia,” Lucinda replied coldly, and her voice barely above a whisper.Rosalie sighed deep, walking to her and she sat next to Lucinda on the couch. “You can't keep doing this to yourself, Lucinda. You are hurting yourself, huh? Tinsley wouldn't want you to stop living your life, do you hear me?” Rosalie says and she places a comforting hand on Lucinda's shoulder.Lucinda immediately looked at her, bu
*LORENZO’s–MANSION, Midnight* It was past midnight, and Lorenzo was tossing on his bed restlessly, he was unable to find any ease in sleep. The unmistakable pull of the mate bond twitched at his heart string, luring him closer to his mate, but he knew he couldn't meet her. He could not talk her, touch her, or feel her and its all because of Tems. He made a bitter promise to him, and it loomed over him like a dark shadow, preventing them from being together.In a fit of annoyance, Lorenzo clenched his fists in deep frustration, he was feeling utterly vulnerable in this impossible situation. He had vowed to Tems that he would stay away from Tinsley, but now, he found himself torn between his loyalty to his brother and his longing to be with his true mate.In a fit of anger, Lorenzo couldn't prevent himself any longer so he lashed out, sailing of the bed swiftly. He walked to the wall, and delivered a speedy kick to the wall out of outrage. Just as his foot made contact with the wal
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
