"Is that a knock I just heard?" Yana asked as she sprang up from the couch."Yes. Please, save me.""Stay right there. Until you hear my voice, don't open the door" She said and hung up"Where are you going now?" Alvin asked as Yana grabbed her car keys."I'm going to save him""Really?" He laughed for a while and stopped when he saw that it wasn't going well with her."I mean, you just yelled and threatened him now and you want to go save him?""So I should leave him to die? Stay in the basement and don't come out" She stated and left the house."Fine!" Alvin shrugged his shoulders as he walked back to the basement.Yana drove off the compound at a high speed to the hotel, the journey would have lasted for forty minutes on a normal speed but it took Yana seventeen minutes to get there. She rushed out of the car and ran to Aiden's room and she saw the manager and a cleaner at the door."Oh! Thank God you're here, Miss Yana. This man has not been opening.""Was anyone here before you?"
The next day, Liza slowly lifted her head from her hand interlocked with Anna's and caressed her face and she opened her eyes."Thanks for making it out alive, Anna""I should thank you for giving me a life" She said and Liza smiled."I have to go home for a while now" She said and Anna's smile faded away."You're leaving again? It would take two weeks before you come see me""Shush!" She shushed and kissed her forehead"I'm only going for two hours this time. I want to introduce you to my family, don't you want that?""I thought Aunt Maya is your only relative""Of course not! Don't let us deliberate too much on this, I promise to be back soon" She said, stood up and let go of her hand as Anna watched her retreated from the room.Liza boarded a taxi home and knocked on the door. Maya rolled to the end of the bed, grabbed her phone and looked at the time, it was just 4:30am."Who could it be this early morning?" She thought as she got out of bed to get the door.She opened the door an
"I told you it has to be Aiden" Yana snapped her fingers while the others just stared"But why would he do such?" Amber asked"Didn't you talk about this with him before you sent him to another city?" Alvin asked"He moved to another city already? When?" Maya asked in shock before Yana could answer Alvin's question"Calm down, guy. We'll talk about all of these when we get to somewhere private" Yana said and they all agreed with her, considering the fact that he is wanted and other people were in the room with them.They all left the CCTV room and went to the ward where Anna was."You're back!" Anna said with a smile and tried to sit up so Liza rushed to help her."Easy, girl. I told you I won't be gone for so long and I brought my family" She said as she gently pulled her nose "Yeah and I'm ready to meet them"Liza stood up, "This is Amber, Maya's daughter. Yana, Maya's friend, and Alvin, my long lost elder brother" She said, pointing to the individuals one after the other."I'm Ann
"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,
The day of the anniversaryAmber had woken up a bit sluggishly that morning, she was not supposed to spend the night with Ignacio since they planned to retake their wedding vows - it was like they were just getting married for the first time. She got out of bed, her hair was a mess and she sat in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection as if it was new. "Am I still going to exist tomorrow?" She thought to herself.It was 8 in the morning and the make-up artists were at the door but she wouldn't allow them in. She cried for hours before words later got to Maya and she went to her room and knocked on the door."Hey, baby girl. It's me, your mom. Please, open up" Maya pleaded as her heart ached.The door lock made a clinging sound, she later opened the door. Maya grabbed the knob, opened the door, and went in."Hey, child." She called out and took a seat beside her on the bed."I know how you feel but it's going to be fine." She assured in a shaky voice, she wished she had kept
Two years later (a week to Amber's wedding anniversary.)Amber laid on the bed that morning, sound of metal clinging together, aroma of different meal and the chattering of people filled the air but Amber could hardly hear them. Ignacio turned to her and poked her nose."Hey, pretty. What's wrong? It's too early to have that gloomy look on""I'm not in the mood for jokes this morning, please" She said, still not moving a muscle."Why? What's wrong?""You're asking me what's wrong? Really?" She shot a sharp glare at him."Wow! Calm down, babe. I know what's going on in your mind but you don't have to think of all these. Okay, let's look at it from this angle. What if you were diagnosed with a terminal disease and you only have five years to live of which you have only one week left, would you just do nothing and stay in bed all day?""No!" She hesitated"That's the point. I'm sure you're going to live your life to the fullest, explore things and places you want to. So stop this and let
Jennifer was playing with Prince Damon, giggling aloud when a familiar figure walked into the living room. She was so engulfed in the playing with Prince Damon that she didn't notice the man and everyone kept mute and waited for her to look up. Prince Damon threw his ball at the feet of the man, she got up to go get it. Picking it up and standing straight before him, she couldn't believe her eyes - it was Cooper."Cooper? Is that you?" She asked, shocked and surprised. "Yes. Who are you? Why do you have Jennifer's scent but look like Helen?""You should have your seat first, dad" Ignacio said and he he turned at his direction.He wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words so he sat and waited for someone to explain what was going on until his eyes fell on Amber."Yes, you. You have been to the hospital and promised to tell me what's going on. Why do I look this old? The man that followed me down here said this is 2023 and the nurse said that I had been in the hospital
Alicia got scared and quickly called Mr. Raul."Hey, sweetie. Our baby is in danger" She said in a shaky voice."Calm down and explain to me what's going on"Alicia explained what had happened to Mr. Raul."What? What was she thinking? I'll go meet with Alpha Amber now. You go to her and see if you can help her.""Okay, dear" she said and ended the call.She grabbed a few things she thought she might be needing and rushed out of the house. She got into the car, ignited it and drove off at a fast speed. After about twenty minutes of driving, she arrived at the hospital. She raced out of the car and was about running into one of the wards when a nurse stopped her."Please, calm down, ma'am. This is not allowed in here. Who are you looking for?" The chubby nurse asked in a calm voice."Cooper...... I'm here to see Cooper" She panted heavily."Okay, I'll take you to his ward" She said and led the way to his ward but she was rather too slow for Alicia.Once they opened the door, they found
The very next day, Jaeleah went to the hospital where Cooper was. She met a skinny nurse at the reception."Good morning, nurse. I'm here to see Mr. Cooper" She said with a smile but the nurse glared at her and rolled her eyes."How are you related to him?" She asked few seconds later."I can't disclose that but Alpha Amber instructed me to check up on him today.""Oh! You must be Jaeleah" She said with a fake smile and Jaeleah nodded with a glare."I'm sorry. His ward is the last one by the left on the first floor" she said and Jaeleah went towards the direction without saying a word."So pompous!" The nurse cussed.Jaeleah looked back with a grin."I heard what you just said. Be careful!." She warned and went her way.Jaeleah had seen him from the window before she walked into the ward. Cooper was placed on a life saving machine, his skin was pale and had developed bed sore but was neatly treated. She moved closer to him and felt his pulse and other vital organs and she shook her h
A week later (at the Blue pack school)It was the Wolves Day Feast of another set of young wolves and this was special because Alpha Amber and her family were invited and Miss Peyton was going to surprise her daughter.The ceremony started in the early afternoon with one of the school instructor giving an opening speech and followed by Miss Peyton. She was dressed in a bright purple dress that rested comfortably on her knees - she looked deeply happy as she mounted the platform to address the audience."Good afternoon, all. I want to thank you all for honouring my invitation to be here today to celebrate the young wolves who are going to be joining the society today. Special thanks to Alpha Amber, one of our past students for making time out of her busy schedules to make it down here today. Today is a really special day in my life as it helps me reconnect with my friends, family and loved ones. Without taking much of our time, let the ceremony begin." She concluded and loud applaud fi
Two days later, Amber, Ignacio, Angel, the journalist, Iris and Jennifer met at a bus station close to Amber's house. They drove down to a small village in the city where the caller (Amelia) lived. Iris, Ignacio and Jennifer were all nervous while the journey was on - they don't know what to expect.After about two and half hours drive, the cars pulled to a halt in front of a tattered house. They all alighted from the car, Amelia was at the door to welcome them."Welcome to my tattered abode, Alpha Amber" She bowed in respect."Thanks" She mumbled.She gestured them in. She served them some chilled water and sat on one of the rugged chairs."Thank you all so much for honouring me by coming down here""It's our utmost pleasure" Angel said"So, may we please begin the show?" The journalist asked."Sure, go ahead" Amelia responded.The cameras were switched on and the airing began."Good morning to all our viewer. Here we are to round up the story we started last week, with Mrs. Jennifer
Jennifer pointed at a guard and Amber ordered that he be brought out to the front."Are you sure, aunt Jennifer, that he was the one that delivered the letter to you?""I can't be wrong. He's the one" She responded firmly.Amber turned to take a look at the guard."Were you the one that delivered a letter to her?" She asked but the guard kept mute."You think this is a kind of joke, don't you? Give me the gun" She turned to the chief guard and commanded.He handed her a gun and she pointed it at the timid guard."I'll ask just once more. Were you the one that delivered the letter to her?" She roared."Yes, yes!" He trembled in fear."Good!" She let out a soft huff."Who instructed you to give her the letter?""It was Jenna, the woman in the prison. She offered me a taste of her body and In return, I was to deliver the letter to her.""You know Jenna is a hardened criminal and you dare help her against my permission?""I'm sorry, Alpha Amber. Please, pardon me!" He went to his knees a
Jennifer was confused if Jenna really had the power to wake Cooper but she is a real witch and can actually do it. She was about to agree on the deal when she had a rethink and decided to talk to Angel about it first. She took the letter and headed to Angel's room.She knocked softly on the door."Come in" Angel responded to the knock.The door opened and Jennifer walked it. She pulled out a small stool and sat down. She stretched the letter to Angel who received it with her brows raised."What's this?" She asked as she took the letter from her."Read it"Angel unfolded the letter and went through it. "Wow! This Jenna is really the devil. How could she even think of such plot?" She asked rhetorically, her gaze still on the letter.Then she looked up at her."This could only implicate you. I don't think you should get yourself involved in any of this. I mean, if she wanted to help Cooper, she would have done it long before now.""That's true!" Jennifer nodded."I don't want to fall vi
