Christos.What exactly happened to separate them from their daughter? Looking at them now, I no longer find the amnesia story plausible. Could there be more to this?Knowing it’s best to calm down in cases like this, I watched from under a hooded gaze as the woman tried to ascertain the situation while holding on to her husband in a grip that must be hurtful. Yet, the old man did not show any form of pain or flinch.“Josh? What happened? What happened to our baby girl?” Anne Summer’s voice was full of fear and despair as she waited for her husband to give her the news she had hoped she would never hear in her life.“Take a deep breath, Anne. There is nothing wrong with our daughter. At least this gentleman here assured me of that.” Josh Summer’s voice was not as firm as he wished though. Even he’s not certain of anything yet.“You will not lie to me. Will you?” She asked her husband in trepidation, while it’s obvious a part of her thirsted for hope and assurance.“You know the answer
Christos.“My name is Eric Summer. And my sister’s name is Erica Summer.” The boy murmured softly while keeping a noticeable distance between them and the old couple.“Twins? You—you both are twins?” The woman continued with her questioning and I could see the surprise and happiness in her eyes as she realised this. It’s not so surprising that one might assume the boy is older with his sturdier stature.“Yes, we are twins. Eric is the elder and I’m his favourite.” The girl volunteered in a soft and shy voice, and the woman gave a trembling laugh that called to the soul.“As it should be, Erica. I am glad you have a Hero on your side.” She murmured softly and the twins blushed from the approval.“I wish it was the same for your Mum.” The woman finished under her breath and while the twins might not pick up on the words or understand, I did clearly and I gave her a pointed look.‘You and your husband should have been the Hero she needed but you were not there for her. Were you?’ I remin
Becca.Waking up from my nap, I felt revitalised, energized and happy. I have a man who dotes on me and my kids; loves them and pampers them and what is more? He gives me everything I want. Especially satisfaction in the bedroom. Considering my demanding appetite which I had never thought possible, it’s amazing how the man is the perfect handler for it.A true giver, he always makes sure he gives before taking and I love it. I love him for that.‘But you have never really told him how you felt. Have you?’ That constant voice that’s always needling me asked quietly and I stood still beside the bed as I pondered on this.‘But even if it’s true, I am sure the man knows it already without me having to spell it out. It’s obvious in every of my looks and actions.’ I shrugged defensively.‘Well, not really. It’s not a confession and fact until it’s spoken out.’ The voice pointed out and I was a bit miffed about being put on the spot this way.‘Why? If your feeling is true and right, why shou
Becca.Amazing! Really amazing what this man has done for himself and the people he said are his family. But considering his Mum and Dad only had him, I can’t help but wonder how he got all these people as family. I’m not even sure he knows them all judging from the set of people I see going and coming every hour every time I glance through the big window. And according to him, not everyone is allowed at the main building, others have their own houses scattered around. Which means there are still more people I’m yet to meet, even though by now, it seems I have met more than a thousand of them.Which brought me back to that book. ‘The lives of Wolves outside the human world.’ What exactly is that supposed to mean? I found myself wondering again but at the last minute when my mind was almost taking me to where I didn’t know, I quickly snapped back my attention. Like I said earlier, I would wait till I can understand the situation clearly, without jumping to conclusions.Finished with t
Christos.I did not wait for my Beta to put the car into Park before I ran out of the car and into the house. It was when I was almost at the stairs that I remembered to mind-link him to be in charge of the kids and not let them come close to the suite until I gave the order.From the moment we entered the pack’s land, I could feel the wave of sadness and tension in the air and I did not need my wolf’s prowling to know that something was indeed wrong and it had to do with my mate. I would not want the kids to be a part of it if it’s something serious. They might not be of my blood but I love them just as if they are mine and I will do anything to protect them from harm.I could perceive my mate’s scent around the pack house, so, I knew it was not the case of the enemy coming in to kidnap her. From what I could feel, she’s physically fine. Emotionally was what I couldn’t ascertain and even as I wondered what was going on, I could feel my heart beating painfully in its place.‘Somethin
Christos. The hoarse laugh that came from her lungs was the last thing I was expecting. “Oh yes, explain Christos. Explain how I got to be raped by you, despite my pleading for you to stop. I want to know how everything happened, especially the part where my parents disowned me just because of your loathsome lack of control.” Her voice was hard as she uttered those words and each word sent a pin to my heart Before I could put in a word, she interrupted again and I crumpled totally. “And oh yes, lastly, don’t forget to explain how I suddenly found myself pregnant with kids whom I never thought I would know their father. How I carried their pregnancy with shame and constant pains in my heart and soul knowing I was a disgrace to my parents and community. How I couldn’t even deliver them through normal delivery and had to endure caesarean section at my age. Explain, oh please explain it all okay?” She dropped coldly into the silence and I suddenly found my feet unable to hold my weight
Becca.Grabbing my kids and rushing out of the big palatial mansion in a run that almost broke my ankles, I ran towards the sports car that was parked regally by the side and when I saw the key sitting idly at the ignition, I almost slumped from relief.May heaven bless whoever it is that left the key at the mouth. Just what I needed!Luckily for me, though I could feel the tension, confusion and fear coming from them, my kids followed my sense of urgency without arguments, despite the questions that must be brewing in their hearts.Unfortunately, they ain’t the only ones with questions, I have a whole book of it but now isn’t the time to think of anything but safety and escape.Escape from this nightmare and the beast that until a few hours ago, I had entrusted my life and that of my kids to thinking I’m married to a Gem. Whereas he is nothing but a beast. He isn’t just a rapist but a beast for goodness sake. How low could he have gotten?Wishing I could crawl into a hole and hide f
Christos.Prowling around in the wilds, looking for a prey to take my pain and frustration on, but unable to find any, my wolf and I howled and howled into the sky until we got hoarse.‘Why? Why? Why?’ Is all I kept saying with no answer from anyone. Even my wolf that could probably supply an answer is busy nursing the pain of being deserted from his Mate and he is like a lion on a prowl.Now that my brain is suddenly opened and I can remember a little of what transpired that night, I could now see clearly the familiarity between that mysterious girl and Becca. But why? Why now?All these could have been avoided if I had known earlier. If I had known this reality from when we met I would have taken my time to explain the situation to her and seek an apology.While I understand how it’s possible for her not to recognise me that day or any other day after, I’m nevertheless confused till now about that night.Werewolves are known to be able to pick up sounds from far away and also see cl
