ALPHA DAMON'S POVWe toured round the town, having a fun time. We visited a movie house, a games' court and some other notable places in New York. It was around 4 PM and I had to put an end to the fun things we were doing. I had something more important than that. "Do you want to know how to drive cars?" I inquired and she seemed inconclusive but she nodded anyways.I smiled and gave her a good news. "I will start giving you driving lessons starting from next week.""Really?" She exclaimed surprisingly. "Yes ma'am.""Whoa, that's cool and I look forward to it."There was a short round of silence and I kept my gaze fixed on the road. We were driving past tall greens, on a tarred but deserted road. Then she turned to me. "Where are we heading to?"She asked curiously and I simply gave her a reply."You will get to know soon." It was quite obvious that she wasn't satisfied by the answered but it is what it is.In a few minutes, we arrived in front of an old building like a castle and I
Astrid told me about it. But I didn't expect it to come so fast.Soon, my expected guests arrived. "Who do we have here?" Alpha Adams rhetorically said in mockery. I had been sitting on the floor patiently."You are here." I said, giving him the notion that I had been waiting for him also."I'm sorry I'm late." He continued and I smirked. "What matters is that you are here."I got up and walked into the castle(the empire)."Are you running away?" That was what I heard before entering the empire. "As if." I mumbled and scoffed. What was he feeling like?He soon joined me in the different world with the rats he brought with him."What's this place?" he asked himself as he looked around.It was about 9 PM.Then I clapped in the air. "Hey there. I know you are amazed but let's get to business. Don't be so unprofessional, I have better things to do." I said with a tone of sarcasm and he frowned."Seems like you really want to die tonight."I smirked again. "Let's see who is going home a
*SARAH*Something wasn't right somewhere. As Charles and the other guy drove me down to the city, I felt troubled innerly. Something was going on, I could tell.I suddenly felt a strong urge to go back to the castle but I ignored it. *He promised me he would be fine.* I tried to assure myself.Soon, Charles told Nolan to park the car and I furrowed my brows. "Where are you going?" I inquired as he attempted to alight the car."Uhm...I'm going to help Alpha Damon with his business. Nolan will take you back to the city safely." He assured.I wasn't persuaded but since it was to assist Alpha Damon, I let him go.We were close to entering the city when the urge came back strongly again. I felt drawn to the Shadow Runners ancient castle again. *What's this?* I was troubled at heart. My heart became so heavy like it was bearing a burden and I couldn't handle it any longer."Turn the car around." I said gently."What?" Nolan didn't seem to catch what I said and turned his neck around me b
ALPHA DAMON'S POVIt had been a week already since the incident. For a whole week, I did not set my eyes on my little beauty. My mum had released me from the chains a few days later and the moment she did that, I went looking for Sarah despite my bad health condition. And since I could make a choice, I refused to be treated.I was so crazy to the point that I just wanted to reflect on myself. I didn't deserve to wear good clothes, eat good food or visit good doctors.Sarah was my priority. I searched for her every single day. I even had men dispersed in search of her. I really hoped nothing had happened to her. I could kill myself if I received any bad news concerning her.Each day, my men returned consecutively with the replies I did not want to hear. "We could not find her."Each time I heard that, I would roar angrily and isolate myself in my room till the next day. Even though days had passed, she was imprinted in my mind like crazy. I could not just get her out of my head.Duri
ALPHA DAMON'S POVI was in my study, meditating. I needed to find Sarah. The line she used to call me was tracked and I realized it was a pay phone in a faraway place.Everything I could think of was 'danger'. I just could tell that she wasn't safe. I left the study for my room, dressed up and grabbed my car keys. I was determined to go look for her.I was met with some of the security men at the door."Alpha Damon, there is someone at the gate." I furrowed my brows and strode down for minutes to the gate with them. I ordered them to open the door and then my heart skipped the moment I saw the figure lying down on the floor, outside the gate. "Sarah." I called as I reached out for her. She looked lifeless all over. I picked her up immediately in my arms."Open the gate!" I ordered vigorously. I took her in and requested for Jones immediately. I placed her gently on the bed and ordered one of the workers to bring in a first aid box.She moaned in pain as I applied ointment to her
ALPHA DAMON'S POVShe attempted to walk out but then I was quick to grab her by the wrist."Sarah, we can talk things out." I said gently. I was no longer interested in proving a point. All I wanted was just to get back on good terms with her. The silence was killing me."You are hurting me." She pointed out calmly and immediately, I let go of her wrist."I'll leave instead. You need to continue with the treatment." I said to her. I guessed I had to call the doctor again to come that late so he could connect her veins to the cannula again. She could get annoyed all she wanted and flare up but one thing I would not take from her was playing with her health."I will continue with it tomorrow." She replied to me sharply. And I tried so much to hold myself back from raising my voice. "Please! Please, Sarah. Continue your treatment, I'll call the doctor." I pleaded with her. I was already getting sober at that point.She gave in and returned to the bed and after sparing her one last glanc
ALPHA DAMON'S POVWithout thinking twice, I left the cafeteria in a hurry and I could hear Chloe shout, 'Mr President' as I ran out. I owed her an apology for running off without a word.I drove straight to the hotel where my father was. Immediately I entered the VIP room, I saw him seated up, though the medical machines were still connected to him. He was still on the respiratory machine too."Father." I called impulsively the moment I saw him. I went to the bed side to examine him closely. He was getting better already. He looked like me with emotion-filled eyes and it was hard decoding the message he was trying to pass across."When did he wake up?" I asked the doctor that was in the room."About an hour ago. He has been making finger movements but this is the first time he would open his eyes." He detailed.Then I spotted my mum on the sofa in the room, watching everything that happened in the room quietly. She was definitely joyful, too joyful that she didn't know how to expres
SARAH'S POVI wasn't just ready yet, to face him. I could get sore beyond control and ruin everything. The only good thing was that my father was still alive. But then I thought, why was I so concerned about him?This man had done me so bad but why was I so scared when he was at the point of death. I guess it's the blood we share. And I hate it! I'm supposed to resent this man for the rest of my life but why was I still so concerned about him? I sat up on the bed, with my back resting on the headboard. A nurse was doing a check up with me and my gaze was just fixed on the window. I was pretty sure I looked lifeless 'cause of my posture and the aura I exuded.The nurse managed to finish up with her work and she hurriedly left the room. Just then my phone rang. It was Beta Jordan. I hurriedly accepted the call and placed the phone on my ear."Jordan." I called."He is awake." He let out in his deep, masculine voice. I let out a sigh of relief. I had begged him to call me and let know
