Sterling realized it was time to get ready to flee when he saw the city in the distance. Sterling would need to flee at that point, as the man would insist on taking him to his parents' house. When he saw the gas was going low, the man mumbled gently. That would be the ideal time to get away. Upon pulling into the gas station, he gave Sterling a quick glance and requested him to wait for him to get back. With a nod, Sterling gave the man the idea that he could rely on him. Sterling unlocked the car door and ran away from the man as soon as he got inside the convenience store. He ran until his legs failed him. He was in the city when he came to a stop, in a place he didn't know. He pulled a piece of paper with notes on where to find his brothers out of his pocket. How would he get to that address when he hardly knew the city? He was going to ask the man which way to go to that location when he saw him approaching from a distance.He stumbled over his words, "Please, sir. I have to ge
When she attempted to turn around, he stopped her and stated, "There's a man behind you. It's likely that he came to see what we needed.""What's wrong with that?" Their faces were still uncomfortably near, so she turned her head back to look at him. He was holding her waist."Kamara, you won't ruin my plans," he added, pulling her in closer. "And I'm not going to let you endanger your life."He moved quickly to drape her over his shoulder and bring her back to the room before she could say anything. When Nate saw that Caiden was holding Kamara, he was taken aback. Kamara let out a ferocious cry for him to release her.Kamara let out a pained yell as Caiden set her on the hard, cold floor. Struggling to stand, she vented her annoyance at him shortly after. "You kiss me first," she said, pointing a finger at his chest. "Then you dump me on the ground like I don't matter. That only serves to confirm Enzo's words. The sound of her saying that was becoming unbearable to Caiden. He chose t
Kamara noticed she had lost her focus in the room. She was so exhausted that she had fallen asleep. She could not believe what she saw when she abruptly woke up and peeked out the window. "Sterling?" To make sure she was seeing properly, she wiped her eyes. "Sterling." Caiden and Nate raced over to see what was up. They identified the boy as they peered out the window. "How much time has he spent there?" Eyes wide, Caiden asked. With a hoarse voice, Kamara said, "I don't know. I dozed off, and when I looked back, he was there." There was no time to chastise her and point out how careless her acts had been, as Caiden wanted to. At the first chance he bolted from the room and down the stairs. He could hear Nate's and Kamara's fast footsteps following closely behind him. Outside, the man completed the inspection and reported back to the leader. "Sir, nobody is in the area. The little noy is by himself." He first glanced at Sterling, then at the man. "You're really fortunate tod
The boys' minds were full of questions and misgivings, even if there were still a lot of unanswered ones. However, they became weaker as the hours went by. Before long, Lucas and Kyler were too weak to move off the bed. Noah sat on the floor, his back to the frigid wall. Sterling sought to come up with a plan for a successful escape with his brothers. But, how? A loud noise came from outside just as his hopes were about to fade. There were desperate shouts from the men, and Sterling knew exactly what was going on. Fearful, Lucas widened his eyes and Kyler cowered down on the bed."What's going on, Sterling? Noah enquired."Our father has come to save us."*********Kamara moved about the room while paying close attention to Caiden's explanation of his plans. She was looking out the window of the room, waiting for the night to unveil itself, her nails bitten to the quick and her sweating excessively. She kept thinking of how it would be when she was finally with her kids. When she wou
Nate grinned and said, "Just think of Bruno's reaction when he finds out about all the amazing things you've done with me.""May I ask you this question, Alpha?" With the intention of changing the entire topic, Nate asked. All Caiden did was nod. "If you were so in love with Miss Kamara, then why did you reject her to be with someone else?"He looked over at Kamara and said, "Jessie has always been seen as a strong female. My father wanted me to marry her in order to protect our family's reputation when I assumed my position in the pack. I had to comply with my father's request."Nate said, "Your father has passed away, sir."Sincerely, he admitted, "I thought I would never see Kamara again, but I think we should change the topic of discussion before she finds out how lost I've been without her."Acknowledging how much Caiden still admired his rejected mate, Nate smiled. How love remained between the two of them after all these years. Caiden moved away from Nate, attempting to push th
Sterling seemed to be pleading with Kamara for forgiveness as he gazed into his mother's eyes. He realized it was a grave mistake as soon as he stepped foot there. Even so, the youngster showed no fear. Seeing the source of his power in his father's eyes, he made the decision to take a chance. He squeezed his eyes shut, thinking of all the awful times he'd experienced there, the pain Noah, Lucas, and Kyler had gone through, and the cold, depressing days he had spent apart from his mother. The leader let out a scream as Sterling, with all the strength he thought he had, bit his arm painfully and fiercely.He bolted for his father as soon as he was free. However, Kamara had no time to save the rest of her children. Lucas fell and struck his head hard on the floor when the man broke the chains holding the kids. The child lost consciousness and collapsed. Kamara's eyes widened and became bigger. Her wolf awoke once more, ferociously, looking very angry. 'Come on, Kamara, let's get rid of
Jessie gripped Enzo's arm and made him gaze into her eyes, asking, "What secrets are you talking about?"He answered, "You'll know when the time is right.""Aren't you concerned about seeing Kamara again? I can expect Caiden to wait for you.""Louis will tell Kamara everything; I won't do a thing," he said, passing Jessie her belongings, and she started to realize what Enzo was getting at."I'll take action when the path is clear, so find an excuse to force Caiden to go to the pack when you get there."For the first time, she felt that this time, everything will work out as she smiled at Enzo. Taking hold of the bag with one hand, she exited the hotel. As Enzo drove quickly, she came up with the ideal justification to divert Caiden's attention while they were in the car. She knew there was no way her plan could go wrong until she came upon one of her stray thoughts. Not at this moment.********As the car seemed to move easily along the road on the icy night, Kamara's hair was disheve
"It won't matter anymore," she said as she felt his hand gently slide down her back and up to her neck. The bond between them was getting stronger as he held her firmly. "Tell me, Kamara. Tell me you don't love me, and I promise you'll never see me again."She muttered, "I can't," allowing herself to be engulfed by him. Then Caiden planted a kiss on her, and Kamara did not push back. Her tongue moved softly into his mouth as her hands moved over his strong arms. She hoped she wouldn't have to part from him. His flavor remained the same as it had been their first time together. Caiden was still displaying the same level of love and passion in a single gesture.There was something odd about him that she noticed as he withdrew.Kamara closed her eyes and he murmured, "I love you so much Kamara. I never stopped loving you."Caiden's body responded, heartbeat quickening. He bent his head to plant a gentle kiss on her neck. She was surprised when her wolf purred and let him put his lips o
