Immediately Amelia settled down on the table, Robert entered the living room with a guy who was walking at a leisure pace, with no care in the world and as if he owns the place. One glimpse at him and Alicia could instantly tell that he undoubtedly owns the place. She knew automatically without being told that he is the Zane that everyone talks about. Physically, he is everything the rumor says he is. He is tall, fit, and well built. The similarity between him and Robert can be clearly seen. Anyone that sees the two would know that they are brothers.
"Hey babe, come sit beside me, I saved a seat just for you, so that you can sit down by my side," Robert said tapping the seat after his.
"Okay." Alicia whispered, sitting down beside her mate. She silently mouthed thank you to him, after she settled down. She was grateful not just because he saved a seat for her, but because he inadvertently brought her out of her daze. If he did not call her t
"Robert!!! I am talking to you! What made you ride all the way here with a bike? You know how badly it rained yesterday? What if something had happened to her on her way here? Do you think her pack members would let you go scot-free? especially since they are not in good terms with Zane's pack? They would think that you conspired with your brother to harm her,” Amelia shouted."Calm down Amelia, why are you so worked up early in the morning? I never knew you had this kind of creative imagination. Just to put your mind at rest, it is true that we came here with a bike, but Alicia was not the one occupying the passengers seat, I was. So if by chance someone was to fall off, would that not be me. Come on babe, why are you suddenly quiet, explain to them what happened. Robert said, giving Alicia a nudge."Yeah, it is true. I rode the bike, Robert was at the passenger's seat giving me directions to this place,” Alicia said.&nb
"There is no need to thank me, but you are welcome. I am already receiving due payments from Shirley, but you still can reward me if you wish to. It wouldn't be so bad if I get rewarded twice for my good deeds right? After all, it is said that a good deed would never go unrewarded. The bigger the reward I get, the more I get motivated to go out of my way to do bigger good deeds, rewards always act as a drive. Just in case you need a clue, getting me a Harley would be nice. Alicia just made me realize my love for motorbikes, and I am going to need a bike of my own now since I am going to learn how to ride. I will need a bike to enable me to practice on my own, don't you think?" Amelia said winking at Zane.Zane nodded his head and said, "why do you like spending other people's money? You and I know that you are more than capable to get a bike of your own. If you decide to buy two or three motorbikes today, you can, so why wait for me.""Haven
"I like the sound of that, that is a promising idea, and I can't wait to go on a vacation with you, I am fine with anywhere as long as I go with you. We are going to talk more about it later in the day, okay? I have to go now, Amelia is calling out to me now, and I have to give her a reply before she discovers that I am doing something else." Shirley said and immediately ended the mind-link before he had the time to protest.Zane did not mind when Shirl ended the mind-link, he would have been offended otherwise but the thought of going to Miami or the Maldives made him excited rather. He could not stop smiling, just the thought of spending days or weeks alone with Shirley was making him excited that he had to stop himself from giggling. He mentally reprimanded himself for not thinking about such a great idea all this while.As soon as they finished doing the dishes, everywhere became silent, no one knew what to say, so for a fe
"I do not want you to so readily agree when it is not proven. I can tell from your eyes that you truly do not mean what you said, you only said that to end the conversation." Then she turned to Alicia and asked solemnly "but do I actually sing so badly?""I think you…" before she could think of the right reply to give, Shirley came to her rescue again by announcing that they have gotten to their destination."Hurray! we are here now. You are such a competent driver Amelia; how did you manage to get us here in..." She looked at her wristwatch and said, "in less than twenty minutes. Isn't it supposed to be a forty-five minutes drive?" Shirley said in amazement, forgetting about the whole singing issue."I didn't even speed up that much, usually when I come here alone, I drive for fourteen or fifteen minutes, nothing more than that," Amelia said with pride in her voice."I have always known that
Luck wasn't on her side this time around because Amelia continued instead of dropping the topic as she had hoped, "why are you always guessing? Aren't you sure of anything? Alicia, I want you to say exactly what comes to mind without holding back, nothing else. Stop being so uptight and calculative. You don't always have to think so hard about every damn thing. Sometimes be impulsive, it's good for the soul. You gotta live in the moment girl, too much thinking is not good for the heart, okay?" Amelia said. "You guys at least talked well last night right? Don't tell me you guys just sat down staring at each other, I am not going to believe that," Amelia pressed on."Of course we discussed a lot last night, there was nothing else to do. We made popcorn, watched a movie, ate ice cream, we both prepared noodles that we ate, after that, there was nothing else to do so we both asked ourselves questions to get to know ourselves." Alicia said with pride in her voice. Sh
"Is that necessary? Isn't it supposed to end the moment he apologized? I thought apology settles most things?" Alicia said, forgetting the main reason for this."I guess you are forgetting the reason why we are doing this, we are only doing this because he apologized, the apology is the bone of contention here, do not forget that. He kissed you and went on to fucking apologize. I take that you are forgetting that he is my brother before he became your mate and he is still brother, but he hurt you so we have to do this, we girls have to protect each other, your war should be our war and vice versa, that is the Scouts code." Amelia said beating her chest in the process."Yeah, that's true. For a moment, I forgot that his apology is the problem here," Alicia said."You talk like you were ever a member of the scouts, is there even anything like Scouts code and if there is, do you know what it means?" Shirley asked laughing a
"You said what? You can't possibly be serious right?" Shirley asked just to be sure that she heard what Amelia said correctly."I said, you should not expect me to keep my promise, okay? You weren't expecting me to stay true to my words, were you? At least not after laughing so hard at me a minute ago," Amelia replied."A promise is still a promise girl. Weren't you the one who mentioned Scouts honor few minutes ago? You are not supposed to go back on your words no matter the circumstances. Just drop the matter okay?" Shirley said in a baby like voice in order to convince Amelia."Tsk tsk tsk, your pout isn't going to work on me, better stop it because you look like someone who is constipated. If you were going to pretend or lie, you should have done it to the very end darling, your biggest mistake was laughing afterwards, i can't imagine that you were literally laughing at me. Your laughter acted as a booster, now I am
Immediately Shirley left the car, Amelia turned to Alicia and said, "do you still need some time zone out?""Nah, I'm all good, I think I have zoned out enough to last me a few days," Alicia replied with a smile."Okay then, let's go inside," Amelia said. Together they got down from the car and walked into the house."Wow!!! you have a very beautiful home. At first glance, it appears simple and even almost plain, only those that truly knows art would notice that everything in here is actually so expensive and beautiful, it suits you perfectly. If I were to describe this place in a few words, I will say this place is nothing less than a perfect piece of art. It looks like the designer poured out his heart into creating this piece, house rather," Alicia said in looking around as soon as they entered the building. She sighed in contentment when she traced her fingers on the railings of the stairs. "Believe me, this is every
"Are you sure it's still going to fit okay? I seem to have added much in the past few days," Shirley said pulling her button lips between her teeth as as she fiddled nervously with the fabric of her dress."Trust me, it would and you are going to look gorgeous in it," Amelia said smiling with reassurance as she gave her Shirley's dress one look. "Now hurry up, you wouldn't want to be late to your own house opening and the homecoming party of your mate would you?"Shirley's lips twitched as she exhaled slowly, mentally psyching herself up to step out in the public as Luna after several years of staying hidden.'We have got this Shirl,' Shirley's wolf said."Okay," Shirley replied, her eyes sparkling with gratitude as she started putting on her dress. "I feel like a princess," Shirley giggled."You should be talking about looking like a queen now. Leave the title of princess for your son's mate, Constance. You look like a sexy and elega
"Hey," Shirley said with a smile the moment she opened her eyes."Good morning to you too beautiful," Zane replied.As usual, he woke up before her. These past few days were the best she had had so far. They were days they spent to process everything that has happened so far. She woke up every morning to see Zane already awake and staring at her lovingly. She had barely gone out since he returned, just like all those years ago when he got captured, only that this time, she spent her days laughing with him by her side."Tell me again, how did you feel when you found out that you were pregnant with our son?" Zane asked twirling her hair in his hand."That again? I have told you that story several times already, aren't you tired of hearing it? Ask me something else," Shirley replied with a smile."No, I want to hear it again. I want you to tell it to me every day, I can never get tired of it,""It's old news already. What I can't get over

"We need to get out of here and look for Zane," Shirley stated and all the wolves nodded and yipped in agreement."So...any plan? Or are we all going to go look for him?" A wolf said."The plan..... half of us will go in search of him while the rest will stay and watch our back," Shirley replied and immediately they divided themselves into two groups. The plan was to sneak out and look for Zane and Robert and release them before anyone sees them, but it was too big a risk and she wasn't sure how well it would work out when they do not know what they are up against.If Davina killed fifty of them, just how many more are left? She felt scared but she refused to voice out her fears so that the rest would not be discouraged.As they marched out of their cell, her wolf reminded her that she was there with her and there was nothing to be afraid of and that made her bold. She remembered that her wolf is vicious in her own way and she was eager to take down every

Shirley rushed to her son and collected the chains from his hands. She wasn't comfortable in watching her son kill someone before her eyes, if she had her way, she wouldn't want him to kill anyone at all. "I will handle this myself," she said to him, when she saw him hesitate."What the hell are you doing?" Davina gasped, opening her mouth so that she would be able to breathe."What the hell does it look like?" Shirley sneered tightening her hold on the chains. "I am killing you of course,""How...how...how could you? You..you were the...one preaching... about fair and square, so... how could you?" Davina said."Fair and square? I don't know what that fago? Were you been fair when you kidnapped us from our own homes? Were you been fair when you forced my young son watch something so obscene? Answer me! Were you been fair?" Shirley screamed, choking her with the chain. "If you can't answer that, then you have no business speaking about fairness."Da

So this is how you pay me for my generosity and hospitality? I should have known better. Wolves are same with fox and being kind to them is nothing but a waste of one's time, "Davina said.Shirley said. "Did I hear you say generosity and hospitality? Do you even know the meaning of those?" Shirley asked.You will see. Since you are not satisfied with what you are given, I will make it a point of duty that you are no longer given any. "You just lost all your privileges. That is your punishment for disrespecting me," Davina said, kneeling to her level to shove her face away.Shirley laughed and actually barked in her face, which caught her off guard. Then she said, "What privileges are you talking about?
A bang on the door jolted them all from their thoughts and they looked to see a hand push in several trays of food through the section of the door. It didn't take long before the smell of warm food hit their nostrils.Hunter's mouth felt dry and he looked at his mom to confirm if they were going to eat the food or not, and when she nodded, he undid his cuffs and stood up wearily from the floor to go bring the food closer. His knees groaned in protest but he made his way to the latch several times and retrieved the food trays and water."How are you able to get out of this sliver cuff? Didn't it burn you?" Shirley asked when she saw Hunter without his cuffs.Hunter shrugged and said, "I stared at it intently and asked it to open and it did. But I tried opening everyone else's own but it didn't work.""It's okay, it is nothing to be sad about," Shirley replied when she saw his face fall.When he was done bringing the food closer, all except Shirley w
