"What's the matter?" Adrian asked as he offered the seated Amber a cup of coffee"They don't want us to be together""Who? Your family? I guess I'd never be lucky about love then" His gaze changed and he looked away from Amber but she pulled his face to an eye contact."I want us to be together and that is all that matters, I can do anything to be with you""Then what about you move in here with me?" He said with excitement as he held her hands.Amber shook her head, wriggled her hands out of his and took some steps away, "No! I love you doesn't mean I don't love my family, I'm sorry but I can't do without them""It's fine, I'm ready whenever you're ready" He said and Amber hugged him.*Jenna woke up to the ringing of her phone, she grabbed it and saw that it was her informant from the counsel and she immediately answered the call."Hello? Any good news for me?" "We got a trace of the Alpha!""What? Who is she?""She was scented in Blue pack school on the day of the the Wolves Day"
"I'm really sorry, Adrian but I can't sleep over. I have to go home now" she said, kissed his forehead and left before he could utter any word.Adrian let out a deep but frustrating sigh as he watched Amber retreat from the house.*Liza got home earlier before Amber."Where have you been?" Maya asked as Liza thudded on the chair with the gifts in her hand."Just having a good time. Is Amber in?""She's not back yet and she is not answering any of my calls""Good for her. I got this for everyone, take one each. I'll go to bed now""Aren't you going to eat and where did you get the money to buy all these gifts from?""It's was a free gift show done by the road side and I'm not hungry." She said and entered the room.Few moments later, Amber slowly opened the door and walked in."Where have you been, young lady?" Maya's voice was harsh even when she was trying not to be."I'm......... I've...... I w..as...." She stuttered, unable to make a sentence.Maya thudded her palms on the table a
"Your baby? How did she find out?""I don't understand her! She's just as the same as years back, she's easily manipulated""What do you mean by that?""She told me some girl called her and said she's our daughter and she believed it. Now, she thinks she's in trouble and wants me to help""You don't think the caller is your daughter?""I don't know but how can she just believe that?""It's fine. I'll go talk to her" She said and went to her room to get her phone.Maya grabbed her phone on the table and walked to the window as she dialed Peyton's number and she picked immediately."Hello?" Her panic and shaky voice asked, thinking it was Alvin who was calling"It's me, Maya. Alvin told me about the news but I need you to calm down, please""How can I be calm when I just found my daughter and she's in danger? I've lost her all these years, am I supposed to lose her again?""Okay, what do you want to do now?""I need to save her""You don't know yet if she's your daughter or not, what if
Maya, Liza, Amber and Anna had just finished their breakfast and was about to go out of the house when Alvin stopped them."Was I supposed to stay home while others are making efforts to find my daughter?""I thought you didn't believe she's your daughter""But I believe Peyton""Let's go then"Liza inserted the key in the lock and locked the door while the others were in the car and Maya was on a call with Yana."Hello, Yana. We need your help""What's wrong?""Peyton got a clue about her child but thinks she's in danger so she's asking for our help.""Okay, where do we meet?""We're on our way to your place now""My place?" She seemed shocked"Yes, is anything the problem?""No. I'd be ready before you get here" She said and hunv6 up."So weird!" Maya said and went to the car."What's wrong?" Amber asked"It's nothing. Get in the car, let's go. Alvin, do the driving" Maya said as she handed him the keysEveryone got in the car, Alvin revved the car in action and drove off to Yana's
"Is this room occupied" Maya asked the manager"Yes, a girl lodged there since yesterday""My daughter" Miss Peyton stuttered with tears that glistened her eyes and Alvin held her close to himself.The manager knocked severally on the door but there was no response and when he tried to open it, he discovered that it was locked. The manager made a call and a man came with a spare key of the room and the door was opened.Miss Peyton rushed in but there was no trace of the girl rather, they saw a dead man and the phone on the table. Yana picked the phone but it was locked."We need to find this girl, she's a murderer" The manager yelled, thudding his feet."I can be of help, dear manager. Why not let us post it now that the daughter of my client committed a grave crime of murdering someone in your hotel and was able to escape with it? Who do you think would suffer more if I say this is an act of defense? She or this hotel?""You're such a blackmailer!" He snapped"That's what lawyers do,
Yana, Wenda and Jaeleah found themselves in a room with a bright, blinding blue light so they quickly bent over to protect their eyes and in few seconds, it seems like everything was normal so they slowly lifted their heads but was surprised they were not together anymore."Wenda? Yana? Where are you guys?" Jaeleah screamed out but could only hear her own voice echo back.The room had now gotten darker and she could hardly see her own shadows as she walked round the room but kept returning to the same spot she left."Am I moving or coming back to the same spot?" She thought aloud after few minutes of walking and the environment was still the same.She pulled out the ribbon from her hair and dropped it on the floor and walked again. To her surprise, she came back to where the ribbon was."This is interesting!" She laughed like a psychoYana and Wenda also had the same experience and was trapped.*In the outside world: 5 hour into the ritual."What is happening? Could this be taking th
Jaeleah stopped for a while and listened closely and discovered that she could hear Yana and Wenda's voices inaudibly. She placed her hand on the wall and it went through."What kind of wall is this? Or is this what illusion is about?" She thought as she tried to put her leg on the wall and it also went through."This is it!" She snappedJaeleah moved back to the other end of the room and sprinted against the wall and made it out of the illusion to the same room they were at first but this time, the light wasn't blinding."Yana? Wenda? Where are you, guys? Can you hear me?" Jaeleah screamed out and heard them answer to her calling."Just jump out of the room, it's just an illusion"Few seconds later, Yana and Wenda got to where Jaeleah was and Jaeleah rushed to hug them."I thought I was going to lose you guys""It's fine now but what kind of illusion was that?" Yana asked as they disengaged from the hug."I think it was only to bring confusion but now that we've solved it, let's proc
"I think the only option we have is to jump over the waterfall" Jaeleah said after about twenty minutes of sitting in silence."What? There is no way I'm doing that with you" Yana said"Then you can stay here while we find out a way out of here" Wenda scoffed and got up.She and Jaeleah opened a door and Wenda jumped first, Jaeleah looked back at Yana who was still seated and jumped as well. Yana reluctantly got up and walked to the door, she looked down the waterfall but couldn't see it's end."I hope this isn't my end" She thought as she jumped too.They found themselves at the front of the waterfall and they could faintly see the water blocking a cave and behind them, was a tall wall."I think there is a cave behind the waters""Let's go then"They walked passed the waterfall and got into the cave and it immediately lit up."Wow! That's creepy!" Jaeleah exclaimed as she panted heavily for some seconds.They walked together further into the cave, the light on the wall directing thei
