The wolf in pain
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The chatters of everyone and clatters of the cutleries resonated around the ambience of the dining room, while the househelps served more dishes if needed. I sat beside Adrian, and Lilly and Maggie were on my other side, asking about my life and likes.
They both were too sweet and kind for me to accept them as my own in such a small period of time. Though my official meeting with them went really well, my concern about the family reunion taking a different route still hung in the air.
Because the brooding fiance of mine didn't like the not so discreet nonverbal eye communication between my future father and mother-in-law. Ever since Lilly had set foot in this house, Sinister was always around. His eyes followed her everywhere she went. And I knew the look in those familiar blue eyes very well. Adrian's eyes held the same emotions whenever he looked at me.
And Lilly on the other hand stayed too alert, he

Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm my heavy breathing. I didn't let my fear show on my face just as Max said. I didn't panic. But as each minute passed, my heart sank more. Anxiety and fear for Alex's safety didn't let me concentrate on anything.It's only been two hours since Max left to find Alex. And I was already losing my mind. Adrian didn't let me out of his sight ever since Max's departure. Even when he had to attend a work call, he made me sit on his lap while doing so.Until Sinister requested him to see him in his office. Dad and Dominic were also present there.But I wasn't allowed in. And not knowing what was so important that even Adrian agreed to see his father in his office despite his dislike added more on my plate of concerns.Something huge was going on. But I didn't know what. Though the ominous feeling in my stomach did announce about the upcoming storm
The Game Of Chase Chills
As soon as I stepped out of the room, two big bulky guards standing in my way halted my steps. With faces as blank as sheets, posture erect like sticks, their gazes were set forward instead of on me."What are you guys doing here outside of my room?" I asked, confused."Mr. Larsen instructed us to guard you when you're alone, Miss," the bald one on the right, replied. Voice was as monotonous as a robot.A crease formed between my brows.He left them to keep an eye on me? Even if there were so many guards in the house? Ridiculous!I didn't see them down in the living room while I was with the ladies. But now that I was up here in my room away from everyone, they were here.He ordered me not to wander here and there alone. But it seemed like he knew the fact that I wasn't the one to obey the rules so frequently.I cleared my thr

My heart stopped in my chest, breath hitched in my throat. Every drop of blood ran cold in my veins as I stood there, frozen.L-little one?No!No, no, it couldn't be him.Oh God, please no!My legs staggered back as if they had their own minds."We meet again, little one. Didn't I tell you I would see you soon? See, I have kept my words," he said. His smooth voice with a deep edge sent a shiver down my spine.James Monet. How could I forget his voice? The voice that had ordered his men to torture me with a very sympathetic tone years ago. The sick enemy of my father.Memories of the past flashed across my mind, delivering a tremor to my chest."Milton!"At his order, the light of our backyard suddenly flashed on, blinding my vision for a moment.

"They had my phone tapped, Sofia. Apparently it turned out that he never believed that I would go on and stab my own family at their backs."A sigh."I had no idea about it. One little carelessness and they heard my phone conversation with Max. We didn't discuss anything about our plan over the phone ever, but I was really nervous that day. They wanted the envelope which had Dad's gang members' all information from me after Jenna couldn't give it to them. But of course, we couldn't hand them over the real one. So Robert changed the envelope with a fake one which only had Dad's former men and spies' data. We had to do it to gain their trust and buy us some more time so that I could acquire as much information about Monet as possible. But I feared that they would find out about it. So I had to talk to Max regarding it. I… I got scared for a moment. And that one moment became our doom.""Jenna couldn't gi

"Ah, the famous Sofia McCommer! I have been hearing about you for so long, but never had the chance to meet you. But today, I must say, I feel lucky," the third man said, flashing me a rakish smile. A small golden tooth shone in between his set of upper teeth. The strong Russian accent of his left me a hint of who he was. Marcus Petrosyan. The bastard uncle of Adrian. And Monet's another pawn after Russell Checknov to bring us down. "Meet my dear friend and trusted ally, Marcus Petrosyan. You must've heard of him before, haven't you, little one?" Yes, the man who was set to destroy my Adrian. I gritted my teeth recalling the attacks he had run on us. "A beautiful prisoner you got there, James. Now I understand why my infamous heartless dear nephew suddenly got so smitten with a woman," commented Marcus. The way his reddish eyes trailed

'She is gone…'Three words rang in like an inauspicious whisper in my head. As if my brain didn't even register the rest of the words.Something clutched my heart so tight, breathing seemed difficult for me. My fists shook at my sides.A storm that raged inside my chest wanted release. The lava that boiled in my veins wanted to destroy something, everything."What did you say?" I found myself taking a step closer to Dominic, my tone sounded calm to my ears.Silence."She is gone? And YOU let him take her?""I didn't. I was on a phone call with Robert when this happened. And Tim wasn't a man from Sinister's gang for me to know him well. No one here doubted him either. They even made him the head of security," he replied, with his dead tone, as always. "But that isn't a justification. You trusted me…"

As the dreaded words left Monet's mouth, he walked out of the room along with Marcus, like a dog he was. And then Milton stood before me. Looking down right into my eyes, a sick smirk tugged at the edge of his lips. His clean shaved head shone under the bulb that hung right above him. And when he took out a small shiny thing from his back pocket, a tremor ran down my spine. My heart pounded down my chest. A shaky breath left me. "Poor princess. About to get punished for someone else's deed. I thought your father and boyfriend loved you. That you were their weakness. But it seems like they care for their lives more than yours," he said, running his thumb on the edge of the dagger, as if checking its sharpness. And the mocking hiss from his mouth along with the drop of blood that rolled down his thumb lit something ominous in his eyes. Those eyes that wa

At a distant noise and then the door's being slammed open, jolted me out of my raw slumber. After one of Monet's men came to collect a sample of my blood for the test and gave me painkillers, all I could do was give in to the exhaustion to my body and mind. Well, it seemed like seeing a slight possibility that Mom was telling the truth, Monet decided to show a little mercy on me.But I knew it wouldn't last for long. As soon as the result would come out and he would find out that I wasn't his blood, which I hoped, he wouldn't hesitate to finish the rest of his task that he left years ago. If Dad and Adrian wouldn't bow to his demands, then he wouldn't have any gain in keeping me alive.Squinting against the darkness near the door, I tried to see the person who stood there.From what I could figure out, it was a lady. And her gaze was on me."M-mom? Is that you?"

As soon as Martha walked out after showing me our room, I was pulled flush against a hard chest. With one of his fists clutching my hair, my face was inches away from his furious one. Even when he was livid, the arm that wrapped around my waist, gripping me tight, was protective. His hold on my hair was gentle."What the hell do you think you're doing?" he hissed. Electric blue eyes were dark and flaming."What am I doing?" I blinked, licking my lower lip. "I just needed rest."His gaze followed the action. With a groan reverberating throughout his chest, he cupped my chin. Giving my lower lip a firm brush, he thrust his thumb in my mouth.My heart raced down my ribcage as I sucked on his finger, with my hooded eyes set on his. The desire came back to life in my veins.Letting out a grunt, he pressed his mouth against mine. A breathless moan escaped me as I pressed my

"Sofia!" Strong arms wrapped around me, pulling me back from Anastasia. "What's wrong, baby?" Turning to her, he growled out. "What did you do to her?"Flinching back, she clutched Dominic's hand. A fear along with concern laced across her face."I… I didn't do anything.""Adrian." Putting her behind him, Dominic warned him.Just as Adrian was about to snap back, I held on his shoulder."She didn't do anything. It's the baby. It kicked." Rubbing my tummy, I took a deep breath.It often kicked, but today it seemed like my junior Adrian was overly energized today.A sigh of relief left him. Kissing my temple, he cupped my cheek. "You alright? It doesn't hurt, right?"Nodding, I turned to Anastasia. "It seems like this little one already likes you. Otherwise it doesn't kick that hard. And I'm sorry abo

As soon as the car came to a halt, the driver was fast to get out and run to the door of Adrian's side.He pulled the door open. But his employer didn't make any effort to step out. He kept typing his phone at a furious pace, a permanent frown was set on his wide forehead.A sigh left me.Nodding at the awkward driver, signaling him to leave, I turned to my achingly beautiful and infuriating husband."We are here," I said.No answer.Not even a glance."The pilot is waiting for us."Ignored.I rolled my eyes.He has been in this foul mood since Sinister called and invited us to a very important family event in Russia. And Lilly's being there with her former yet new partner was the main reason behind the stick that stuck up my husband's ass. Lilly shifted to R

Glancing over my shoulder, he looked at the priest. "You can start now. And yes," his features hardened, "Make it quick!""Y-yes, of course, Mr. Larsen!" Came a timid reply behind me."Eager for the honeymoon?" Dimitri teased. Liam burst into laughter at that. While John had a small smile dancing on his lips, Dominic looked unbothered.All of them donned tuxedos, much similar to Adrian.As my soon to be husband sent a murderous glare at Liam, the ambience around us cackled with mirth.The priest came over and we exchanged the rings. And then everything seemed to pass like a blur until the priest asked the most awaited question."Do you, Adrian Timothy Larsen, son of Sinister Timothy Petrosyan, take Sofia Annabeth McCommer as your wife?""I do," he answered without any hesitation.My heart pounded down my c

My lips parted at the sight of him.The charcoal black tux he donned with a white shirt underneath hugged his broad and powerful upper body perfectly. Black pants, shiny black shoes and a blush pink pocket square, matching my gown, completed his look. With his dark strands combed back neatly, his jaw was clean shaved. My hands itched to touch them.Gosh!A breathless sigh left my lips. My eyes couldn't move away from the Greek god before me.He looked… sinfully gorgeous.My poor heart had difficulties to beat normally in his presence.And with that particular intoxicating cologne of his wafting to my nostrils, it just made the butterflies in my tummy crazy.I was so busy drooling at my man that I almost didn't notice how his eyes trailed down my body. Slowly and sensuously.A shiver ran

The dry leaves and wee trunks crumbled under my feet as my hesitant legs trudged through the eerie tacit cemetery. Only the chirping of the birds, hidden behind the heavy branches of the mighty trees that surrounded the cemetery, could be heard around the silent graveyard.Placing down the fresh Lilies before the newly wrought tombstone, my eyes roamed over the epitaph engraved on the stone.'Tim Jonathan Reeves1968-2020A doting father and a courageous man we will always remember with pride in our hearts.'"You shouldn't be here, you know? It's your wedding today," a whisper came from beside me.Blinking away the moisture in my eyes, I turned to her. Her gaze set on the gravestone before us."I came to seek blessings from the person who has treated me as his own daughter all his life." And to say thanks too. After all, because of him I

"Miss, you should get some rest now. You're sitting here for hours. And your injuries should also be taken care of. Otherwise you can get an infection," said the young nurse as she gave Adrian another visit to check on him.It was the fourth time she asked me to get myself treated. But nobody, even my family, couldn't move me from here. From beside the man who reigned over my heart.The man who hasn't opened those electric blue eyes yet. And since I got my consciousness back, without wasting any second, I rushed to his side. They moved him to another room after his operation.My heart clenched as my gaze roamed over his paler than usual features, ruffled hair and limp body. Just his broad chest rose and fell along with his breathing. That was the only thing that told me he was still with me.With my throat tightening, my eyes burned with tears, I gulped. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm

A scream tore out of my mouth while the love of my life was on the ground, clutching his chest. Even when his features were tensed, his determined hard eyes never left mine. Pushing at Monet's shoulder with as much force as I could gather, I somehow managed to break free from his grip and got off the chopper. But his fingers were soon to wrap around my wrist. A fury flashed through Adrian's blue eyes. Getting a hold on his gun, he tried to get up on his feet again. The veins of his neck stood out as he did so. Glancing back to Adrian, Monet raised his gun for the second time. Ready to shoot again. My heart lurched in my chest, eyes widened in horror. "No! Don't!" But my desperate shout went ignored as his finger curled around the trigger. "No!" As he was about to pull the trigger, a hand wr

Sofia's POV"They are here to take us out of here!"My heart stopped. For a moment, I was frozen. And then a tear slipped down my eye. A surge of happiness burst across my chest.They were here? He was here?For me…But then the fear for their life soon crashed on me, making the smile slip from my face.What if something happens to any of them? Monet wasn't weak or foolish. He wouldn't go down without a fight.Hurrying towards me, she started to untie my hands and legs. A wince left my lips as I moved my hands after hours. Not to forget the cuts were still fresh. Though the painkillers did reduce the pain somewhat to a bearable point."Don't worry, sweetheart! We will get out of here soon. That loathful man wouldn't be able to touch you again," she said. With shaky hands, once sh
