Sylvia couldn't deny the fact that she was scared. What were the odds of people attacking them right in their own home? She wasn't only scared for her life but for others who were also in her care. She was scared for Jacinta and all of the other maids.
As for Remus and Brett, she knew they could take care of themselves without breaking a sweat. That left her with the rest of the servants.
''Baby, desperate times call for desperate measures. Now, we have to do what we have to do to save ourselves.'' Remus said.
Sylvia didn't know what he was driving at but whatever it was, she had a feeling that she might not like it.
''What do y
''I'm fine… i'm fine.'' Sylvia said.Brett had been calling her insistently as soon as she heard that there was an attack at the mansion. For the first time in her entire life, he considered the possibility of Sylvia dying. If she did, he didn't know what he would do because as it stood, she was the only one holding the group together.She made most of the decisions, he was only there to help her make the right ones. That was his only work. He paced about the library, his phone at one side of his ears. Now that he was able to reach her, he was quite satisfied about it.''Okay, just stay there for now while I try to figure out how to clear up this mess,'' he said.
''So what's the plan?'' Brett asked.Ever since their spat on the day of the ball, he and Remus had been a little more civil. Sylvia was happy about this because for one thing, they could focus on what's more important and that was finding Mark and fast.Every minute without them not knowing what he was doing left them agitated because they really did not know what he was going to do next.''Sylvia and I had a long talk about it and I decided to watch him more carefully. As you already know, getting closer to him would be a bit difficult so i have already put all over his residence in every country he has a house.'' Remus said.
''Mark, where you responsible for the shooting in Remus' mansion?'' Daniella asked.Ever since, she had been away for a much needed holiday and when she got back, she was greeted with the news that Remus' somewhat impenetrable fortress was attacked. The only person that came to her mind that was capable of doing that was Mark.''No.'' he simply said.Daniella didn't know whether to believe him because he was always fond of telling lies. That was something she hated about him but the thing was that she couldn't hold it against him because she was benefiting from him. Any rude talks from her would get her kicked from the house and the streets now in times like this wasn't very appealing.
''Like I said before, my daughter, God bless her soul, before she died spoke a lot about you. Good things.'' she began.Sylvia knew it wouldn't be a good thing for her to interrupt her and so, she waited patiently for her to finish talking. As she spoke, she saw so much of Jacinta in her mother. Her grace and gentleness was one of the things that were prominent in her.It was the way she spoke that had Sylvia's heart clutching in her chest. She really missed her and if she had the power to bring her back to life, she would do it without missing a heartbeat.''You have to be re
''Sit down Sylvia, i'll bring in the reports.'' Brett said.They were in the library, just after they finished their meals. Sylvia knew that whatever Brett wanted to tell her couldn't wait and they had to talk about it now. She also had a feeling that he had discovered something big about Mark.A few minutes later, he returned with something that looked so much like a map. Sylvia was a bit confused on why he would bring a map when she had expected him to bring files but all the same, she remained quiet.Brett proceeded to spread the map on the table which ended up filling about a quarter of the table.''Brett, what's this?'' Sylvia asked.She couldn't quite keep her curiosity in check and wanted to know what the map was for. If Mark was in one of those cities within the map, she wouldn't hesitate to fish him out. He had caused so much harm to her and all she wanted was to get back her pound of flesh.''Sylvia, calm down.'' he smiled.He proceeded to bring down some markers from the st
''Alright, so you're just going to go?'' Remus asked.It was the following day and somehow, he had been hoping that Sylvia would change her mind somehow but she didn't. She had been so serious about going back home and at that moment, there was nothing he could do to change her mind.''Sadly, yes.'' Sylvia sighed.She needed to stay close to her house in case Mark tried anything rash. The last thing she would want to happen was for her family to get attacked without backing, that would be the worst thing and she wasn't sure she could handle it.
'I'll miss you.'' Sylvia sighed.She had come to see him briefly when he told her he would be going for a mission and now she was already missing him even when he wasn't gone yet.She reclined on the bed, watching him as he dressed up in preparation for his trip. She didn't know when he would be back because whenever she asked him, he always gave her a vague answer.''I'll miss you more my love but don't worry, I promise to check up on you everytime. I'll miss you too.'' Remus smiled.Sylvia sat up on the bed just as he finished dressing up. He walked tow
Remus walked into his hotel building with a serious look on his face. He was there for business and not to smile or crack jokes and he knew that the only thing that could make him smile was Sylvia who sadly was back in New York.He could have allowed her to accompany him but he wasn't sure there wouldn't be any battle since his line of work was always filled with action and suspense.His wolf growled within him and Remus knew a threat was close by. That was the only time his wolf ever growled. He was in company of ten of his trusted men and so far, nothing unusual had happened.''Alpha Remus.'' one of his men said.Mathias Wilfred, Alpha of another smaller pack and one of Remus's enemies, walked into the building with some of his own men too. Though their fight was a cold one, Remus never lost his guard because he believed that Mathias was planning something and now that Mark was in the picture, it could be big.Even a blind person could see that Mathias was jealous of Remus because o
''Daniella, I'm here. Where are you?'' Remus said as soon as he put his car to a stop.The men he had come with were already on the grounds, taking instructions from Brett and Alpha Lowel back at the mansion. The plan was for him not to engage in any conversation with anyone aside from Daniella so he wouldn't come off as suspicious.''I can see you, just walk straight down.'' she ordered.Remus began doing that, walking down with the phone still placed in his ear. He could hear movement from her end and he had a feeling that she was also trying to reach him.''Stop.'' she said.Remus did that promptly, looking around as he tried to see where she was. The darkness of the place didn't help matters as he was temporarily blind to everything that was around him. Just then, he felt a presence and he knew that Daniella was here.''Hello Remus.'' she said.Remus turned around and he got the shock of his life for two main reasons. For one, she was looking so haggard and unkempt she could be ea
''I have a secure location of where Daniella is.'' Brett said.They were at the dining table that morning when Brett made this announcement. The way he said it told Sylvia and Remus that he was very sure of what he was saying. There was a conviction in his eyes that couldn't be taken away and that could only be found in a person that was a hundred percent sure of himself.''Are you sure about this?'' Remus asked.Alpha Lowell graced them with his presence as they all had dinner together. Martha, who was supposed to be there, had to leave to go see her daughter who had just been put to bed and she wouldn;t be coming back anytime soon.''As sure as me beating you in a game of tennis,'' he said.Remus rolled his eyes, he knew that Brett would never allow him to hear the end of that argument, It was something that would be with both of them for as long as they lived. ''But seriously though, you know where she is?'' Sylvia asked.''Yes, i do.'' Brett said.''Then we need to clamp her down
''How are you doing ma'am?'' Sylvia asked.Since Remus wasn't going to be back on time, Sylvia had taken that opportunity to go see Jacinta's mother but under strict security details. Remus didn't know about this visit and if he knew, Sylvia knew that he would never have allowed her to go. Like he had said before, he wanted twenty four houses within the house.''I'm fine dear and you look so good.'' Jacinta's mother smiled.Sylvia was happy that she was glowing and she was looking relatively better compared to how she was the previous time she met her. There was a considerable improvement in her face which was something she was glad about. Sylvia had no doubts that Jacinta would be happy in her grave.''I could say the same for you.'' Sylvia smiled.''And don't tell me you're with a child?'' she said, looking at her stomach.How she knew was something Sylvia would never be able to understand. She realized that it was probably a mother's thing as a result of her being a mother.''Yes,
''Hello Dear.'' a voice said.Sylvia who was just waking up yawned, stretching her body as she stared at the direction from where the voice came from. She realized that it was Alpha Lowell who spoke. Immediately, Sylvia jumped on her feet, hugging the man whom she could confidently call a friend.''Alpha Lowell!'' Sylvia smiled.''Hello dear.'' he chuckled, hugging her.This was the first time she was seeing him since the attack. He had been like a comfort to her even in times when nothing was comfortable and for that, she was grateful to him.''I'm sorry about what happened?'' he sighed.''It wasn't your fault Alpha. None of it was, please don't blame yourself.'' Sylvia sighed.The last thing she wanted was for him to blame himself over something that wasn't his fault. Daniella and the commander were responsible and she was quite glad that there was one less evil in the city.''How are you feeling and how is my grandchild doing?'' he smiled.''I'm fine Alpha and your grandchild is do
''You suffered my wife, you made her starve knowing fully well that she's pregnant.'' Remus said, brandishing a whip.''I swear! I never knew she's pregnant.'' the commander croaked.He had been badly beaten and he could barely talk. The pain in his voice was evident and Remus wasn't quite done with him yet. He still had many more things under his sleeve that he wanted to dish out to him.''Oh but i'm sure Daniella must have told you right?'' Remus said.The commander grew quiet because he knew he had been caught in his lies. Remus never forgave and he knew these were his final moments on earth. ''Please.'' he begged, struggling with the binds on the chair.Remus walked towards him with venom in his eyes, holding the whip tighter. Without uttering another word, Remus whipped him, watching as it landed on his face.The commander screamed, holding his face in pure agony as the pain cut deep into his skin. He thrashed about but the binds holding him were very tight. There was possibly n
Sylvia whimpered, holding her stomach with a tight grip as she squeezed her eyes shut. The pain she was feeling in that moment couldn't be compared to anything at all. She was hungry, thirsty and she felt at that moment she could actually faint. She couldn't even feel her legs which made it all the more difficult for her to fight for survival.''Where am i?'' she whispered.Even her voice was cracked which wasn't helping matters even if she wanted to scream for help. Just then, the door leading to where she was kept opened with a bang. Sylvia jumped in fright just as she saw a familiar figure walk in. She didn't know if it was a figment of her imagination or if who she was seeing was really real but one thing she knew was that she knew who walked in.''I told you I would get you didn't i?'' the figure laughed.''Daniella? What is the meaning of this?'' Sylvia whimpered.Daniella laughed, walking closer to her like a predator about to catch its prey. The look in her eyes was one of no
''Where could she be?'' Remus asked.The call he got a few moments ago was to tell him that they knew Sylvia's whereabouts. All he had to do was come to a venue they were going to send to him alone. Remus knew this was a kidnapping scene and he knew he had to be very careful because he knew the condition his wife was in.He didn't want anything to happen to her because she was carrying his child and if anything happened to her, he would never forgive himself. Everything was all so strange to him. One minute she was here with him and the next minute, she was gone.When Remus asked for the location, he was told that it would be disclosed to him later. Everything was very suspicious to him and he knew he had to find a solution to it as soon as possible.''She's pregnant for god's sake!'' Remus seethed.He couldn't understand why anyone could be so wicked as to kidnap a pregnant woman, knowing fully well that she would be of no use to them. The only thing he could suspect about it all was
''You look so pretty.'' Remus gushed.Sylvia was sampling all the dresses he had got for her the previous day and Remus couldn't deny the fact that she was very beautiful in them. She looked like a queen at that moment and he knew he would love her for the rest of his life.''Thank you.'' she smiled, wiggling her butt.Remus knew she was tempting him but he wouldn't give in because he wanted her to rest. It just seemed like ever since she became pregnant, her sex drive had increased by a hundred fold. It was lovely to see but yet, he knew he had to control himself.''I know what you're doing Sylvia but it wouldn't work.'' he said.Sylvia pouted just as they heard a knock on the door. Remus knew it was Brett and he wasn't surprised when his Beta walked in. There was a look of unease in his eyes and Remus knew that something was wrong.''What's going on?'' Remus asked.He needed to know what had happened so he could be on track. It wasn't like Brett to be alarmed and now that he was, Re
The waitress on the other hand was shocked by how Sylvia responded to her and in embarrassment, she hurried away. Sylvia couldn't help but burst out laughing. She had dealt with the waitress real good and in her life she would never hit on another man ever again most especially a married man.''What is wrong with you?'' Remus laughed.He had never seen this side of his wife before, it was a daring side though but yet, he was happy she got to show this side of her.''I knew all along she was hitting on me but i wanted to see what you would do.'' Remus grinned.Sylvia chuckled, picking at her food before putting one forkful into her mouth. Ever since she got pregnant, she had been a very light eater but now, she had no idea where this food cravings came from. Maybe her child needed it and in that moment, Sylvia was happy to oblige.''Are you enjoying your food?'' Remus asked.Aside from the shitty waitress she had just dealt with, the food wasn't bad at all. In fact, it was the best las
