"What's your name?" She questioned, gazing intently into his eyes.All he could able to say was "Sterling.""You'll have to face consequences for what you did, Sterling," she continued, scrutinizing every feature on the boy's face."No, ma'am, I was simply protecting myself," he explained.A hard slap landed on Sterling's face, causing it to swell with pain. "Shut up," the woman said, "take him out. When night falls, give him a cold bath and leave him unclothed."His brothers began shouting and pleading with them not to take Sterling away, but their pleas fell on deaf ears. After dragging Sterling, the man tore off his clothes. When the man put his hand behind him, Sterling thought it odd that the tail had disappeared and was no longer there to at least frighten the man. But, how could that happen? He hurled a bowl of water at him while still nude, and as the penalty was about to start, Sterling was able to see the full extent of the woman's face."Sterling, take this as a lesson to
The man asked, "What are you? A doctor""I'd say I'm better," he said. "But tell me one thing: who bit your leg?"The man appeared to consider it carefully. He knew that if he revealed the truth, the crooks who had ordered the quads'' kidnapping would kill him. But this man, who also appeared to be a monster, would kill him if he didn't tell. At that moment, he realized he had no escape.Caiden declared, "If this wound remains on your leg for one more day, you'll die and I mean it."The man said, "How can you be so sure about that? How on earth can the bite of a child, kill a man so quickly?"Hearing this, Kamara's eyes widened with hope. She stopped Caiden as she approached the man, utterly happy and unconcerned about anything else."Which one of the boys bit you?" She didn't even realize her power when she slammed him up against a tree."I'm not sure," the man said, frightened by her enraged gaze. "They are so identical, you can't tell one from another."Caiden's eyes appeared to be
He made fun of Louis, saying, "I could smell this hound from miles away. Why are you chasing after Kamara?" "He's not after me, Caiden," Kamara spoke up for him. "Louis only wants to assist me in locating my kids." Caiden laughed mockingly till he lost control. The naivety of Kamara amused him. "You still think he's genuinely trying to help you?" Caiden was finding it hard to believe. "He entered the pack and said he knew something about the quads. What has he achieved so far?"That was a valid question, and Kamara hadn't given it any thought. Louis didn't know anything more than what she already knew regarding the quads' location. Someone deliberately sowed doubt in her heart. He pushed Louis, saying, "Go ahead, Louis, tell us where Kamara's kids are, or are you just going to keep hiding behind her like a cat?" Louis became enraged, his eyes changing color, and he was about to strike when Kamara grabbed him and stopped him. She begged, "Don't. Caiden will kill you." and her char
"Caiden chuckled mockingly. As Nate observed everything, he thought it was imperative to end it all once and for all to prevent further harm from happening. Nate continued to hold onto Kamara as he added, "We're all very tired, Alpha. How about we take a nap and deal with this in the morning?" Nate nearly thought the alpha would accept his suggestion as Caiden glanced at him, but he said, "I'Il take Kamara to the mountain because she wants to go there," he added, giving her an exasperated look. "Pack your belongings because we're heading out right now." Caiden strolled back to the camp. Though he knew he wouldn't be able to, Nate wanted to go after him and try to change his mind. Nate became aware of his grave error as soon as they arrived at the camp. When he looked more closely at the vacant space where the prisoner closely at the vacant space where the prisoner had been restrained, he saw the ropes had been cut. Gazing at the cut ropes, Caiden pondered how and by whom the huma
"Hello, Jessie," he said, adding, "It's a pleasure. Also, I saw your brother in the mountains, and he injured me horribly." "Enzo? What's Enzo doing out here in the forest?" She asked, her eyes shining with concern. He remarked in a mocking voice, "He wanted to kill Kamara, but I didn't let him." She walked quickly towards him. Her dark eyes had the appearance of being as vacant as a chasm. In an attempt to intimidate him, she stood, asking, "What do you think you're doing?" He said, "I came to rescue the quads, and I'm taking them to Kamara." Jessie gave him a long look before she burst out laughing."I had to get prepared since Enzo had told me this would happen".Louis glanced at her confused, "he told me that you could fall in love with Kamara if you stay with her.""What the fuck did you do, Jessie?" Her words surprised him. "I paid you to keep Kamara away from Caiden, she said, but you're so inept; you fell in love with her and made a promise to protect her lovely kids. We
Kyler, Lucas, and Noah held onto Sterling's unconscious body in the vehicle as it jolted from side to side, praying their brother would awaken quickly. They soon drifted off to sleep, and when they awoke, the man was moving them around once more. The room had beds in it this time. The sheets were torn and dirty. Nothing they couldn't appreciate at this moment. There was light and the interior wasn't really cold. There was a urine-smelling restroom on the other side of the room. Throughout the night, they all had to cover their nose multiple times until they grew accustomed to the disgusting scent. Sterling, though, didn't wake up. That was how he remained all afternoon.Upon awakening, he believed he was dreaming. The space had good lighting. Lucas and Kyler were on one bed, while Noah was resting with him on the other. He looked up, but his dizziness made it difficult for him to see clearly. He remained sleepy. Moreover, he had difficulty opening his eyes. It took him several tries
Kamara moved away from him. She flinched away, as though his contact had disgusted her. "I would have found my children if you hadn't taken so long." The alpha was struck in the heart by the words, which were like jagged knives. With a saddened expression, he questioned, "Are you saying I'm at fault here? We might have located them if you hadn't invited Louis to come here." Hearing his charges made her fury boil. "This isn't a game, Caiden. Whoever finds them does not even matter. All I want is my kids back. "Why don't you go ahead and find Louis then?," shouted Caiden. "They'd be with him now, right?" Nate observed that Caiden was staring at her angrily, so he moved in between them with the intention of calming things down. "I apologize for interfering, Alpha, but don't you think your accusations are a bit over the top?" Caiden paused and seemed perplexed before saying, "This time, I do not agree with you, Nate," he exhaled, his breath labored, “and I am right.” At la
With urgency, she questioned, "How can you be so sure of that?" "I had no idea that a person could be recognized by their footprints." After glancing at Kamara and Caiden, Nate swallowed his own spit before speaking, "I'm not sure, Miss Kamara," he remarked, looking back at the footprint in the sand, "but it couldn't have been a woman's." "You ought to be questioning why a woman is even involved in the abduction of my kids," she became agitated, which infuriated Caiden. Kamara was going to turn and walk away when Caiden held her once again, making her turn to face him."Why the fuck do you keep standing up for him?" Seeing the look on her face, he inquired. "He most surely would have saved my kids if he had been present." All of Kamara's defenses were undermined by Caiden's laughter. "What happens if he is complicit in the quads' abduction?" Kamara scowled, growing irritated with him. She shook her arm and made him release it, saying, "That doesn't make any sense, Caiden. Why wo
