Alpha Zeus’ POV“Hmm," I exhaled and sank into the sofa. "Please, state the reason you are here." He cleared his throat. "About that, I already made contacts with those watching Maicon." My interest was instantly piqued. What could the result have been? Was Maicon already out? I just could not wait to hear the answer. I shot up to my feet. "What did you find out? Tell me quickly." "Well, look at these pictures. " He produced an envelope from a small bag he was carrying and handed it over to me. I, without any slight hesitation, tore the seal and took the pictures out. They were all pictures of Maicon. On each picture, a date was attached. "And what are these supposed to be?" I asked while still looking from picture to picture. "What it means is that Maicon never left his place of exile. The second slide was captured right on the night our mystery guy showed up at the hotel." I sank into the sofa again. Was I worried over nothing? Not even for once in my life have I been anxiou
KAYLA’S POV"Hello, ma'am First Lady," I said politely. "Good day.""Good day, Kayla," she responded to me. "But is anything good about your day?" I scratched my hair. How would I start again? Who knows, if I were to continue like that, she would probably think of me as a person who loved to run her mouth all the time, complaining about everything. "Yeah!" I forced out a little show of excitement. "I'm fine." "Why have I not set my eyes on you since today?" She asked. To that, there was no proper answer to give her. But keeping mute would get her to know something was up. "I just decided to rest more," I quickly came up with a lie. "I need your ass down here in the next five minutes. Have I made myself clear?" "Yes, ma'am!" She hung up. I sank into the bed again. I was too tired to do anything. My mind was doing so much work. I just needed a way to wriggle my body out of the Alpha's net. But the only way to do that was to get him his freaking bracelet. I had to find it myself.
KAYLA'S POVThat very question could not leave my mind. The last time I checked, I did not have such a relationship with my step-sister. Why would she come to this place to visit me? It was not out of care or love. There was something fishy about the visit. "I don't understand," I said to Chloe. "What do you mean by that?" Chloe arched her brows at me. I asked a question that had no sense in it. She just told me that I had a visitor and even went on to say this person's name. What was left for me to do was to go out there immediately and see for myself who had come to visit me. "What do you mean you don't understand?" Chloe replied to my question with her question. "The girl is waiting for you. She simply told me her name. She said if I mentioned her name to you, that you would know her immediately." Of course, I knew her. Why would I not recognize the name of my evil stepsister? Even if I were to forget any other name, I would not forget Adire and Kate. Those people showed me wha
ALPHA ZEUS' POVA new day had come already. It was probably the longest wait of my life so far. After Maxwell passed the information from the First Lady to me regarding the car that the mystery guy had driven that night into the hotel, my heart began to beat again. I was never totally relaxed with the information Maxwell had given me. Anything was possible in the world we live in. And being a werewolf even made it more possible for Maicon to do some strange things. The pictures could have been forged. That was just one side of it. It was still possible that the CCTV cameras there were manipulated to play one thing over and over again. Knowing how bad my brother could be, I could not readily rest on the fact that he was being watched. He could have turned everyone over there to his side. If that were to be the case, then he was already an Alpha to those people. It was very clear in my head. I could recall vividly the day he was banished. The beginning of it was the very moment our f
Alpha Zeus’ POVFirst Lady chuckled at the innocent question. She knew better than Maxwell what sort of a person Maicon was. "Trust me, Maxwell," she replied on my behalf,"you really don't want to have anything to do with this dude." "This just got more interesting," Maxwell said. It gave me concern. If he should tread wrongly and find himself blocking Maicon's path, he would definitely be dead before I come to save him. "One piece of advice for you, Maxwell," First Lady continued. "Don't try anything funny with Maicon. Alpha Zeus might not be there in time to save your ass." After a few more minutes of active drive,we started heading into the outskirt of the city. This had to be a proper place for Maicon to come and nest. It would be difficult for anyone to track him down to this location, except for a powerful figure like me. Soon, we got to a relaxation house sighted far from anyone. "We are here," Maxwell said. "I believe this is the location we tracked down." First Lady lo
KAYLA'S POVIt was a fight with myself that lasted through the night before I made up my mind on the decision to visit my stepmom. Any other person would probably wish for her to die faster. After all, her death would mean that I didn't have to be worried about whatever headache she might want to bring later on. But that was not me. Kayla has no guts to wish death for her stepmom. The look on Adire’s face when she told me about the supposed imminent death of my stepmom, looked too real to have been faked by her. Of course, no normal person would lie about a thing like that. Nothing was impossible for those two witches, though. But I still would not be able to forgive myself if anything ended up happening to her. I grabbed my purse and took a glance at myself in the mirror. I was set to go. "What if this is another ploy by them?" My wolf, Elena, whispered to me. That could be true. But I already debated this topic through the night. There was no need to revisit it. "Come on, Ele
ALPHA ZEUS' POVLater that day, when night had fallen, we started heading back to my home. In a very long while, I had never been this infuriated. I was burning on the inside. I could feel the heat from my breath. But it was even more terrible to consider the fact that there was no one to vent my anger on. I could not readily burst out. Normally, in times past, I would find my way to a boxing ring and have the fiercest fighter there engage in a fight with me. But it was no use. I ended up sending many of them to the hospitals. Maicon was right within my reach. But I could not lay my hands on him. He played me. I felt like a fool. It was foolish to think of what had happened. I thought I was smart enough. I felt I was powerful enough. How could I not have sensed his presence? How was I not able to hear his movements in time? In fact, at the time I heard the movement, it was obvious he wanted me to hear it and know he had been there. Maicon was simply proving to me that he was still ah
Alpha Zeus’ POVI knocked again and pressed the bell at the same time. When no response came, I assumed she was deep in her sleep. Maybe I should just go and give her a call later to know how she was. No! I would not call her. She would get the wrong idea. I was just about to turn and walk away from the door when I heard a click. Oh, it appeared she heard the knock. I stopped and positioned myself properly. But when the door opened, a wave of confusion swept right across my face. A lady, who was not by any means Kayla, stepped out of the room. On seeing me, she tilted her head down in a low bow. That was something Kayla might have sworn that come rain come shine, she would not do for me. She was just someone who had no slightest, not even the faintest trace of fear for me. "Alpha Zeus Ludendorff, I greet you." I studied her for a short while. I could not recollect anywhere in my thoughts that the room Kayla stayed in would be changed. So, who was this person and what was she doing
