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
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
