"You'd better get out of here right away," the man said, pressing the gun into Nate's chest. "I don't know what the hell you're talking about.""No, we can't," Caiden answered. "We came many miles to get here from another city. When Seth finds out that you turned us away, he won't be happy."One man said, "Seth won't know anything," and Caiden knew right away that something wasn't right. "You're simply wasting your time."The man didn't look as menacing now. He appeared heavy-set, as though he were bearing a burden."What do you mean by that?" When Caiden tried to get closer, the man once more aimed the gun at him.He commanded, "Get away from here. There's no job available anymore. Seth is currently in the hospital after suffering a catastrophic injury.That, in Caiden's opinion, was quite unfortunate."He said that he no longer wished to work for those men. He said that he met the monsters."Caiden looked at Nate with wide eyes, understanding everything. Once more, the quads had don
Knowing that Nate had disclosed their mission to a stranger did not sit well with Caiden. He was unsure about his ability to trust humans. Caiden needed to put his belief in Nate despite humans' dishonesty and treachery. It was also his only choice at the moment. The man had been of great help. Matt's mood soured as Nate said, "We need to talk to Seth. He is aware of the quads' location." Matt remarked, "The man only opens his mouth to scream in pain. His spine is broken. The wounds are really severe." Caiden was astonished by the information. "But I'll figure out a method to get you there."Matt departed, assuring Nate and Caiden that he would create a window for them to speak with the kidnapper of the quadruplets. He returned, looking scared and nervous, thirty minutes after he had left. Nate perspired, showing all of his anxiety, "Tell me how did it go." He smiled at Nate and said, "It was able to do something, but you'll need to be quick. It's time for lunch, the police officer
From a distance, Caiden saw that the window on Kamara's side had shattered when he arrived at the car. He was on the verge of panic. Shouting her name as he opened the car door, he realized what was going on when he saw her bleeding. "Did you smash my car's window?" He was enraged. She groaned in agony and gripped her palm hard to stop the bleeding, saying, "I ran out of oxygen, Caiden, what did you expect?""Alpha, please, we don't have time for this." Kamara saw the anxiety in Nate as she gazed at him.She widened her eyes, forgetting all about her own anguish, and said, "Tell me how everything went in there. Did you find out where the quads are?"Hastily climbing in, Caiden hit the accelerator. Looking directly into Kamara's eyes, he smiled a little and replied, He said, "We found the location of the kids, and we're going to rescue them this time." Kamara didn't know how to feel. Tears sprung to her eyes. Fear continually whispered in her ear that they wouldn’t reach it in time.
Caiden could not believe his eyes when Kamara emerged from the building carrying Sterling. She came over to him and gave him Sterling. "I'm not sure where Noah, Lucas, or Kyler are," the woman uttered. However, Caiden didn't seem to hear her voice. He felt a deep connection with Sterling as he gazed into the boy's eyes. "Caiden, I need to find them," she shook him dejectedly. It was too late when Caiden dashed in the direction of the structure. Sterling frantically sprinted after his brothers when the van carrying Lucas and Noah drove by, but Caiden stopped him in his tracks. He yelled, "My brothers, I can't go without my brothers ," as he attempted to break free from Caiden's tight hold. "Let me go. I have to rescue my brothers." They were embraced by Caiden as Kamara came up and gave her kid a hug. The family was back together, despite the fact that they were still incomplete. Caiden seemed lost in thought as he drove Kamara, Sterling, and Nate to the apartment on a silent
When Sterling heard the word "father," a range of emotions came to his mind. He suddenly realized why he felt like he knew Caiden from somewhere when he peered into his smiling eyes. He needed more time than necessary to process the information and comprehend Kamara's exact words.He said, "My father?" Then Kamara grinned. "But Mom, how is that even possible? I overheard you repeatedly inform Aunt Catherine that my father has passed away." Both of their smiles vanished from their faces. Things got thick and strained in the air. With intense anger, Caiden fixed Kamara in his gaze, as though she had deeply offended him."Wow, Kamara. I didn't know someone could be six feet and still sit in front of you st the same time." It was a query aimed at Kamara. "Inform me further about it."She stuttered, uneasy at the menacing glance he was shooting at her. "It was just a figure of speech, Caiden. You were dead to me because I never wanted to set my eyes on you again.""And for that reason, yo
Kamara disagreed, shaking her head. She was totally against that choice. "Caiden, you can't make that decision on your own." A line of annoyance appeared on her forehead.With impatience, he said, "And what other suggestion do you have, Kamara? Taking the boy on our mission is out of the question, and you have no family anywhere to leave him with.""And do you also think Jessie should look after him? My son won't stay with her," she said, her lips curving into a mocking smirk.Caiden massaged his temples while he closed his eyes. He was irritated and remarked, "I won't leave him with Jessie, are you okay now? My mother is there, and she will look after him while we're away."Kamara knew there was no other way out of it. Though she continued to believe it was a bad idea, she reluctantly agreed with Caiden. Kamara felt a big weight in her chest as they made their way back to the apartment. Caiden had to be trusted. She had to put her faith in him to handle what was out of her reach. Th
"You know when you developed a tail or when your eyes turned a different color, when you healed really quickly?" The young boy gave a nod. "Those are the skills you received from your mother and myself.""How?" Confusion overtook the young boy's thoughts. "Mommy is also capable of those things. How come I've never seen her di them?"He went on, "I know you're in doubt about many things, but you'll find out slowly, one question at a time.""So we're not just ordinary people?"He answered, "Not in the way you know. We're not. Both you, Mom, Noah, Lucas, and Kyler, we are different. However, they haven't yet realized their full potential.""Do you mean like superheroes?"Taking a big breath, he responded, "More than superheroes," and then it was time to admit, "we are werewolves." Upon hearing that, Sterling covered his lips in shock. He could see right through the absurdity of it all. A tail, snout, and sharp teeth, and his ultra-acute hearing. Outside of animals, who could possess a t
Knowing that she would do something crazy if she continued talking, Jessie hung up the phone. When she emerged, Enzo was taken aback as she had gone back into the old abandoned house."Jessie, what's going on?" Her appearance startled him, and he widened his eyes.She continued, gasping, "One of the kids escaped. And here he'll be arriving with Caiden."Now that Jessie was in real jeopardy, Enzo was a little worried for his sister."I can't let the boy see me here." Her panic increased even more. "I made the error of going to the captivity site and revealing my face to him."Enzo scolded her, saying, "Jessie, such ineptness."She wrapped her arms around herself, closed her eyes, and tried to come up with a solution. "This is not the time to scold me, Enzo," she said.Enzo said, "The only way to escape being found is to leave."But Jessie thought that would be a terrible idea. "How am I going to make that excuse?" She gave him a wide-eyed look. I don't want to part with Caiden, "leavin
