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
"Nate has a lot to tell you about the boys." She shrank, appearing smaller than she was before, and folded her arms in front of her body. "You should talk to him. After giving her one last glance, Caiden left, leaving Kamara by herself in the dimly lit room.He approached Nate and saw that the man was focused on obtaining additional information regarding the potential identities of the kids' kidnappers."Kamara told me about your findings," he was startled by the voice of Alpha. Nate's heart was beating so hard that his ears were ringing. Nate felt more at ease when Caiden laughed at him."I apologize, Alpha. I didn't see you coming." He straightened up and tried to relax. "I informed Miss Kamara that it's possible that her children and your children were taken to the human city.""Do you really think so?" Caiden squinted his eyes and looked at him."If I were human, that's what I would do, sir. Plus, it would be much harder to get caught in a big city, making our mission almost unac
Everything had been planned. Her heart ached deeply when she understood this. What Enzo was saying made perfect sense if the death of Kamara's parents was caused by Caiden's father. She struggled and screamed for a few minutes before collapsing against the dry, broken branches, exhausting her completely. She appeared broken. Her body was already feeble and her she-wolf was too weak to keep her alive. Enzo laughed again as he was happy with how much joy he was taking in Kamara's anguish."Why do you detest me so much?" Enzo growled loudly and frighteningly, curling his lips. He said, "For your existence, Kamara," in a tone so cold and lifeless that Kamara felt her spine tingle. "You ought to have died with your parents. In our world, you are a waste of space.When he finished talking, Kamara thought back to when Caiden told her how much he loved her—but it was all a big lie. Caiden could not get Kamara's shout out of his head. He started to run to her, but Nate stopped him and told h
Upon reaching the summit of the mountain again, Caiden saw that Kamara had sustained severe injuries and took hold of her unconscious body. Caiden didn't want to take a chance on losing Kamara because her recuperation would take longer than anticipated without her wolf active."Nate, what are we to do now?" He was in a grave situation."Alpha, you don't need to worry. Kamara is going to be alright." If Kamara didn't make it, Caiden vowed to track Enzo down and make him pay him to pay for this.While Kamara slept, Caiden observed her body slowly healing. His phone rang as he continued to drive into the city on the major road. Upon glancing at the screen, he noticed that Jessie was the one calling. He pondered for a long time before answering, and when he did, he sighed deeply before hearing the person on the other end of the call.“Did it slip your mind that you are married, Caiden, and that you have a wife?"For a little moment, Caiden shut his eyes, and Nate observed him becoming a
"Alpha I think you should just look after Kamara while I look for clues in this matter.""Yeah, I think I'll do just that." Taking out an extra cell phone he always kept in hand for emergencies, he opened the trunk. "keep in touch with me. I'm awaiting your return. You should also be careful.""I'll be careful, Alpha. Take good care of her." Nate said, shaking Caiden's hand and fixing his glasses while glancing back at Kamara."Yes, I will." He watched Nate open the door and leave, heading in a different direction. Caiden muttered, "Good luck, Nate."He gave him one final glance before igniting the engine and making his way to the specified destination. Time to locate the quads.Caiden drove to the address that was provided. After hours of circling the city, he eventually located the spot that Nate had shown to him. The heat inside the car increased since it was so hot outdoors.Caiden noticed that Kamara's body was taking longer than required to heal when he parked and carried her in
Caiden still went toward her against her wishes. He said, "That is not true, Kamara. How could you believe that? This accusation was unknown to me." "Can you not lie to me right now, Caiden?" Her sobbing became so intense that Kamara was left gasping for air. Then he put both of his hands on her face, making Kamara meet his gaze. "Eyes on me Kamara? Do you think I'm the kind of leader who feels sorry for his people and does things for them because of that?" Caiden's eyes were gleaming brightly, pain evident in his eyes. "Do you truly believe that everything I ever said to you was a lie? She was unable to reply anymore, though. Her voice trailed off into sobs. With his fingertips moving softly over her damp face, Caiden leaned in closer to her. Feeling his heart thumping in his chest, he said, "I loved you, Kamara, like I will never love anyone else in my life, I will find out if your parents' deaths were caused by my father." Kamara, though, didn't appear to believe him. She
