*DAMON* Zayden is my cousin from my dad’s side. He mostly kept to himself while growing up because he wasn’t very social, but we got along well. His parents have been away from our family and the country for 20 years, so I’m the only one who knows where he is. I hadn’t seen him in a while because I’ve been busy with work and responsibilities. But this time, I made sure to visit him because I missed him. He’s the only person I trust completely. He hugged me tightly before letting go. "It's so good to see you." He said and I smiled. “I’m glad you’re doing well. Are you still enjoying life in the countryside?” I smiled as I sat down next to him. “This place is so peaceful. I wish it could stay like this forever.” “Me too,” I replied, knowing that any civilization coming here wouldn’t end well. Zayden wasn’t just anyone; he had extraordinary powers as a werewolf. “Do you need water?” he asked. “Yes, please.” He got up and went to the corner of the room, grabbing a glass jug and
*DAMON* I looked at Zayden, not wanting to believe what the guy just said. Then I thought, maybe I imagined it or misheard it. “Zayden, did you hear that?” Zayden seemed less surprised than me. He acted calmly, like he already knew what was going on. “Relax, Achilles. He might be lying,” he said, trying to calm me down. He knew I might not be able to handle the information right then, so he tried to distract me. I turned to the guy, Nolan, again. “Did she also tell you to kidnap Sarah, my assistant?” “I never got instructions like that,” Nolan replied innocently. But despite his innocent appearance, I couldn’t fully trust him. I searched his face and realized he was telling the truth. I was starting to feel confused. “On March 14th of this year, where were you?” I asked. He seemed to think for a moment before answering, “I was out of state.” “Don’t try to deceive me,” I growled. Was he playing mind games with me? “He’s telling the truth,” Zayden said calmly, observing the in
SARAH’S POVI felt no peace of mind. I was so curious and at the same time, annoyed. How could he go on a business trip with such short notice? The attitude he gave me didn't go unnoticed either. What was up with him? I was the only one that had the right to be angry, not him.I just couldn't do anything right. He kept crossing my mind and I felt unrested.I was in the huge kitchen, helping out with dinner preparations for the royal family. Even though Dorathy, the Alpha's mother was the only one around, we still made elaborate meals.I was given vegetables to chop. I had quite the confidence in my abilities. I had helped in the kitchen back at my father's pack many of the times so I knew how to handle these things well.But my mind was far away from what I was doing and I ended up almost chopping my finger. I had a slight cut and fresh, red blood came out without force. "Arh." I moaned in discomfort and called others attention."How did this happen?" The chief maid asked."I'm sorr
ALPHA DAMON'S POVIt was a dream. By the time I woke up, I was already sweating profusely. What could her disappearance mean? I was very troubled at heart. The way I was brought made me pay attention to the most little details, even dreams.Just then I heard the chirping of the birds. Was it morning already? I paid attention to my environment and realized it was already morning and the rainstorm had stopped.I stepped out of my room and as expected, Zayden was up. I could perceive the sweet aroma of meat stew and the warmth that oozed from the living room."Good morning." My cousin greeted, beating me to it. He must've sensed my presence because his back was turned against me."Morning." I mumbled as I moved closer. My sixth senses sharpened as I inhaled the aroma of the stew again. "Snakes?""Yeah. I caught it earlier this morning." He replied. I was disgusted immediately. "I'll pass. I don't eat snakes." "Then you have to prepare something by yourself." He said nonchalantly."Tha
*DAMON*The line got disconnected before I could say anything. I was so confused and troubled. Hurriedly, I drove out of the hotel premises and tried dialing the line again. Then he picked up."Charles, where are you?"And in a whisper, he replied. "I don't know where exactly but I think it is somewhere around the North city.""Alright."I stepped on the accelerators and drove off to the North city that was like an hour away from the pack.*What exactly happened?* This was the question I asked myself all through the drive.I had to choose a path according to my instincts when I got to the North city, hoping to find him. It wouldn't be so hard by the way. Me and Charles had been together for so long so I had his scent mastered and we could even communicate through telepathy.As I drove further and further, I picked his fragrance faintly. And I was led to stop at a building where his scent became so strong. The building looked so old with thick bushes surrounding it.I alighted the car
SARAH'S POV As he kissed me, he gently touched my waist, making me feel things I've never felt before. I instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck, wanting more of him without really thinking about it. I was losing control, wasn't I? I let out a moan as our tongues intertwined. It was surprising even to me how quickly I went from being angry with him to being in his arms without hesitation. Was this love? Obsession? Or just desire? The kiss continued for a while, growing more intense with each passing moment, making me feel a rush of excitement. I could tell that he was feeling the same way too. He stopped kissing my lips and instead started kissing my neckline, then my ear, and finally my neck. "Damon," I softly moaned, feeling impulsive. His body felt warm against mine, but then he suddenly stopped. He looked into my eyes with no emotion and said, "Get some rest, Beauty." Then he left without giving me a chance to respond. I watched him leave my room and sat on the edge of
SARAH’S POVI was aware of Alpha Damon’s arrival. I was so worried all night that he wasn’t back yet. *Maybe something bad happened?* I thought from time to time but still strived to be positive.I wanted to nag him real bad when I saw that he was back but we weren’t on good terms.I became myself again after he arrived. At least, he was safe. Heavens knew I had series of questions on my mind to ask him but I kept my quiet.I left the window side and laid on my bed. I could sleep now.About fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on my door. *Could that be him?* I thought as I walked to the door to open it.It seemed like what happened the other day was unfolding again.I opened the door and was shocked to see his mum. My jaw dropped. “Ma’am?” I let out subconsciously.She looked at me with no emotions in her eyes. “Come with me, I need you to help me with something.”Without hesitation, I followed her. But what could she need my help for?We arrived at the huge kitchen. Oh, we w
*DAMON*After eating, my senses fully came back and I started to make strategic plans in my head. I put down my plans in my business notepad like I had always done and then requested the presence of the developing team leader.I told him to sit as soon as he came in."Mr Blake, which country did you say the engineer in charge of the new technology product is?" I inquired."He is in the Netherlands sir. Why do you ask?""I'll travel down there to meet him. Get in action with the PR and the advertising team once I give you a go ahead. Get them to change the floor plan for the launch site.""But sir--" He was obviously going to object and I cut him off abruptly."Would you just follow instructions without asking questions?""I'm sorry sir." He apologized immediately.I left the company immediately after and headed to Astrid's place. I hadn't seen Charles since. He was healing quite well. His injury looked better then. He wasn't fully human so speedy recovery was a given, even with Astri
SARAH'S POV He eventually reached out to me. My joy knew no bounds the day I received the letter from my father that I should come back to the pack. The content was not what made me happy but the fact that he summoned slm the courage to reach me. Damon was skeptical about it though. "Babe, are you sure you want to do this?" I nodded my head. "I am more than sure. I have been waiting for this day, Damon and you know it. Nothing holds me back any longer. And I won't be going along, we are going together." I said to him. He said nothing more about it and just meekly agreed. "Your wish is my command." He said and I laughed. I wanted to go see him at the earliest, so we decided to go the next day. I prepared the kids for the trip too. "Mum, where are we going?" They both asked and I smiled."To your grandpa's place," I replied simply, not clarifying things any further. We set out on the journey with a convoy. A trail of cars before and behind us.We got to the red ravens pack in on
SARAH'S POV"Archie! Alma! It is time for breakfast." I announced. The kids came running down the stairs and I could not help but worry about them."Stop running or you will get yourself injured!" I cautioned but they still did not listen to me."These kids will be the end of me," I muttered under my breath as I served their meals on the dining table."Remember your table manners, no talking," I said to them and they nodded. "Now dig in.""But mum, where is dad?" Alma asked. She just had to ask after we had agreed that no one was talking."Your dad is busy, but he will soon be here," I said to her. Then I thought of going to check up on him. He had been in his study ever since."Babe." I reached out when I got to the study. "Is everything going well? It is time to eat." "I don't think I will join you guys for breakfast. I have to code this thing before the deadline." He said."What is that? I could help." I offered but he turned me down. Then I frowned."Okay, I am sorry but I would
DAMON'S POVI lost it when I received the call from Robert. I left everything I was doing and rushed down to the hospital. I drove like a madman. Jones assured me that she was fine and would not die, but I was still not at peace. She was yet to wake up after an urgent surgery so I went to Kimberley Royals with Myles.We looked into the CCTV to find out everything that happened. The police were involved already also. Chloe's arrest was warranted. I could have done worse to punish her for doing that to Sarah but I was still being lenient. Maybe it was because she had worked with me for long or because she was a woman. I never hurt women brutally. It was not in my nature.I let the cops take over and in no time, she was charged to court. I had the best prosecutors take over the case to make sure she went to jail.Victor Martin, her father requested to see me but I declined. He obviously wanted to talked about his daughter. If he can't keep his kids under control, then he quit being a fa
*SARAH'S POVWe were on a break so I was just home, trying to figure things out. I had Robert go on an errand so I was the only one at the apartment.I was so bored. Kylie had issues to sort out with her family so she could not come over. Then I tried watching some Hollywood movies to keep myself busy while I munched on popcorn.Suddenly, the door bell rang. "Oh finally!" I exclaimed and went to the door to get Robert. But then I got shocked after seeing a different face."Delivery!" The person announced. The door was just opened a bit and the delivery man had a face cap on. "I think you got the wrong address." I said to him and tried to close the door.But then he set his foot between the door and the doorframe, making it impossible for me to close the door. "Excuse me, what are you doing--"My words were cut off when he suddenly pushed the door, opened it fully and entered."Who are you?" I shouted and he hushed me.Then he brought out a pocket knife. So this was how it is going
*SARAH'S POVI was back at that place, Astrid's mansion. The house looked ancient now that I was seeing it in broad daylight but it still looked so grand.A lady came out and ushered me into the house then I watched Astrid walk down the stairs in black regalia.As soon as she got to me, she bowed her head and said her greeting. I did the same. "Uh..can you stop doing that? You can just call me by my name, Sarah." I said to her 'cause it made me so uncomfortable.She agreed and then smiled. "Have you eaten? Let's have breakfast together." We had a wonderful meal and she got to business over a cup of tea meant for easy digestion."I heard you wanted to see me." She started."Yes. I would like to look into my past life." I said to her. She did not expect that but I said it anyway."You want to look into your past life? Through hypnosis? Could I ask why?"I felt like she knew the answers already but I still answered her."A lot is going on with me. I feel like I don't know myself as I k
*SARAH'S POVI found out Chloe was the one who reached out to the web master and gave them false information. So she painted herself as the victim and I was the antagonist.I carried out the investigation with Robert and Kylie and I swear, we could make a great team. "So what will you do about it?" Kylie asked and I sat back on the sofa."I don't know yet. I don't think I need to get back at her. I will just have the post taken down on blogs and that is all." I replied and she shook her head pitifully."You are way too calm. Taking down the posts won't solve it. What about your ruined reputation? I think it is best we involve Mr Damon in this or I personally will take it upon myself." She threatened."Okay. Maybe a little lesson would do. What can we do to her?" I asked for suggestions."I have many of them in my head. Should I print you a list?" Kylie said dramatically.Then I turned to Robert. "Say something." I urged but he only bowed his head as a gesture, telling me indirectly
DAMON'S POVIt was time for Takumi to return to his country. The whole inheritance and family issue had been solved. The Interpol had stopped looking for him also. I headed first to the villa where he was and it took hours to get there. We were supposed to have breakfast together for one last time.I got to the villa on time because I had set out so early. We discussed a few things over breakfast and he expressed his gratitude. He was always willing to fully invest in the Pinnacle World entertainment at Sichuan. I laughed inwardly when he mentioned it."Really?" I asked in Japanese and he confirmed it."Yes. And if there is anything you need my help with in the future, do not hesitate to let me know." He said as he took the last bite from his meal. I rounded up too, when I saw that he was done eating."A charter is heading over to pick you up and take you to the airport." I said to him and he smiled. "I really appreciate this, Mr Mackay."I smiled back at him. "It is my pleasure."T
*SARAH'S POVI was preparing for the academy when I heard the door bell ring. Damon was off to work so I wondered who it was. I had checked on the mini monitor but I saw an unfamiliar face.I walked down to the door and unlocked it, then opened it ajar. "Good morning, Milady." he greeted. I was surprised. A well-built, hefty and fine looking man was at my door early in the morning and even addressed me as 'Milady'."And who may you be?" I asked before anything else."I'm Robert, your new bodyguard." He introduced. And then I remembered Damon had actually discussed it with me before he left."Oh. I'm so sorry. Please come in." Then, I opened the door fully for him to come in. "Would you like to have some breakfast?" I proposed and he shook his head immediately."Okay...you can have your seat then." I said but he refused to comply."I would love to remain like this, Milady." He replied.Here we go again with this 'Milady' thing, it is not like I was a queen or anything. I did not a
DAMON'S POVI was at the office, on a call with Charles. "Nolan is going berserk about his brother's issue. I think he is catching on to the fact that we don't have his brother." He reported. I dropped my pen and sighed. I saw it coming. The boy can't be kept under me forever. "Charles, try to put him together. He must not confirm the fact that we don't have his brother.""But he is dead, is he not?" Charles insisted."Nothing is sure for now. Keep Nolan with you, I will make sure to find him in a few days.""Alright sir--""What are you talking about...?" I heard a different voice ask, and I guessed it was Nolan. Finally caught! "I just asked a question! My brother is dead? You told me he was alive!" Nolan yelled over the phone."Calm down." I cooed but he was not taking it.Just then, Myles walked into my office. I was gesturing to him to hold on so I could sort out things with Nolan but he seemed impatient."I have found him." He uttered."Who?" I raised a brow, diverting most
