Mirabel kept wailing and thrashing as she and Connor walked about, looking for Carolina. In her little way, she did a good job of making sure that Connor did not come close to the hallway leading to Liliana's room.

She even offered to go search the room instead of Connor and he agreed because he believed that Mirabel was on his side.

Connor's face was already gloomy with worries and fear, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find Carolina. He would have gone outside the estate to search for her but his instinct kept telling him that she was somewhere in the mansion, but where?

He pulled his hair frustratedly, this whole mystery of Carolina's sudden disappearance and Kayla's attack by an unknown blackmailer including the accident is slowly making him lose his sanity.

He began to think about the possibility of Carolina leaving the mansion without notice but nothing was forthcoming and the most annoying thing was that he could not even trace her scent so that finding her wouldn'

    Connor's phone fell to the floor and the screen broke into pieces, the sound made Mirabel stop crying and stare at him. "Did he just hear right?" He asked rhetorically and dashed out of the compound before he could be stopped by anyone. Jack saw how Connor ran off and immediately knew that something was off. He quickly chased after him. Connor was not in the mood for conversation and so Jack followed him in another car.Once Connor had driven off, Mirabel began to laugh loudly, it was so easy to trick Connor into believing she could turn good overnight. She stood on her feet and dusted her body of dust before moving back inside the mansion.Connor drove straight to the hospital where Kayla was admitted. He didn't wait to be allowed inside but rushed straight to Kayla's ward, shouting her name.He dashed into the room and could see Stella struggling for them to let her go, probably to uncover the cloth that was used in covering Kayla's face. Connor ignored all the commotion and proce

    Connor didn't want to think deeply about it, he believed that Carolina was safe though some part of him feared the possibility of her being in the custody of his unknown enemy. He groaned out in frustration, all these were making him go nuts.Meanwhile, after Connor and Jack had left the mansion, Mirabel felt like it was the right time to carry out her plans of moving Carolina away from the underground and out of the mansion in general. She sneaked into the hallway without being seen and walked straight to Liliana's room where she had locked Carolina in.She was beyond shocked to see that the padlock which she used in locking the door had been changed."What was going on? Had Carolina escaped or did someone find out what she had done?" Her body went cold with fear and her hair began to curl.It was no safer for her to hover around, she had to escape while she had the time. With that thought in mind, she slipped out of the mansion afraid of what Connor would do to her if he learns of

    Luc was at first, horrified to find Carolina all alone in the dark basement, sprawled on the cold floor and in a critical condition at that. He was not pleased to behold her pale skin tone and sunken cheeks but he was still very happy to see that Carolina was still alive. He stared at her in pity, "How did she end up here in the first place?" He wondered. She had been starved for two days now, his heart melted for her.On the other hand, Carolina's mind was racing. She was trying her best to figure out what Luc was doing in the basement which she thought was haunted and had no escape route. She recalled there was a secret door that led to the exit, "Perhaps he has come in from there" She reasoned but was not still convinced as to how Luc was able to find his away around the basement.From every ramifications, she knew Connor and Luc were never in good terms and so the guards must hate him too. "How then did Luc come in freely without being apprehended by Connor's guards? Did he figh

No matter how much he thought about it, it was no more news to him that all that had happening to him was planned, a long time ago.He let his mind wander off to possibilities of the people who could be behind all this. His first suspect was Luc. Connor was aware of how much Luc hated him, he knew that Luc could go to any extent to see to his downfall and that made him believe that Luc could be the unknown blackmailer. There were lots of incidents to prove his allegation towards Luc but no matter how hard he thought of it, he couldn't find any tangible reason to blame Luc. He recalled that when he was engaged in a fight with Luc, Kayla was attacked. "How then is he the one behind it?" He wondered, "perhaps he now have lots of people working for him" Connor reasoned again his hands rubbing his jaw.There was every possibilities to point out Luc as the unknown blackmailer but who was he working with?.Connor was

    Mirabel got to the door leading to Liliana's dark basement, she was glad to see that door was securely bolted just as she left it.She was elated that no one had bothered to check the basement nor found out about her mischief or so she thought.She slowly unbolted the door and peeped inside the basement. She couldn't see clearly because everywhere was dark and so she put on her flashlight.She flashed it all over the space in search of Carolina whom she believed was still locked in but was disappointed in not seeing her.Her skin began to creep and she was becoming afraid and alarmed at the same time. She cleaned her eyes to make sure she was seeing clearly and when she opened them, Carolina was still not there. She grabbed a fistful of her hair in frustration."Where in the world is that witch of a person? Where is that stupid girl hiding?" She asked rhetorically, through gritted teeth.She was starting to go crazy because she couldn't find Carolina anymore. She took out anything tha

    Connor made to follow Jack out of the control room and out of the hospital in general but something caught his eye. From the monitor screen, he could see the doctors covering Kayla and wheeling her out of the ward.He ran back to them immediately and blocked them, "where are you taking her to?" He demanded angrily. He was trying his best not to yank the white cloth that covered his dead cousin away from her face."We need to carry out an autopsy test on her to see if she was injected with something apart from the removal of her life support machine and if the murderer touched her by mistake, His fingerprints can be checked and his identity determined" the doctor explained.Jack overhead everything because he was just behind Connor, he slowly took Connor's hand. "Let them do their job Alpha while we focus on bringing miss Carolina home" he persuaded Connor.Connor was reluctant to move out of the way but he still did move and paved way for the medics to take Kayla away.

Does Roseanne have something to do with it as Mirabel claimed? Or is Mirabel hiding something?" He thought within himself.He turned to Roseanne, "Why should I believe you? I know Mirabel can be cruel but she's a changed person" Connor said and Roseanne shook her head."Forgive me Alpha if I am trespassing my boundaries, I think Miss Mirabel is not all as innocent as she claimed. No matter how hard I try not to see it, I believe that miss Mirabel has a hand in the mysterious story of My lady" Roseanne reportedConnor's ears twitched and he stared at Roseanne in suspicion, he took his hands to his face and tugged at his chin, "That's a huge allegation right there young lady, you are aware of the consequences if you're wrong.

    Carolina was surprised, she squinted her eyes open to see that she was close to the water but not too close for the Crocs to jump and attack her. She took her eyes up and saw someone running hurriedly towards her. He controlled the leveler and it took her away from the Crocs that were still waiting for her beneath the leveler. Carolina was speechless as he watched the man try to unchain her hands, "Someone came to save me? Unbelievable!" She exclaimed in her mind, her heart gladdened. The man's face came into view and Carolina's brows furrowed, "Uncle Gregory?" She uttered, staring at the man in confusion. "That's right Carolina, it's me" he returned and pulled off the chain locs with so much force that it broke open. "I came to save you and to as well warn you to stay safe. Liliana is alive, I'm sure about this because she is the one that has put you in this position. To kill you off" Mr Gregory added, helping Carolina out of the leveler.

    "And what's that about?" Alpha Connor asked, out of curiosity. "I have offended you gravely and I am really sorry about that. Actually, Liliana sent Helen and I to you, so we can destroy you from within, but after being together like this, as if we are friends, it made me realize how much I missed you and how deep my offence is." Hadrulph apologized, then knelt before him. "Forgive me, friend. I really want to leave here, soon and I can't, without my pup, because he is still alive. I will appreciate it if you devise a plan to save my pup and then tell her that you got whiff of our plans and then you have gotten rid of us. Once I have my pup, neither I or my family will show their face." Hadrulph said as a tear fell from his eyes, to the ground. Alpha Connor who had already gotten wind of their plans was not shocked, but he was surprised that Hadrulph would actually turn a new leaf just after this experience. ~ "Wow. So he confessed?" Carolina exclaimed, with her eyes, bulging out.

    “So, how did it go? Did they buy your lies?” Liliana asked, impatiently. “Yes, they did. I guess Connor still trusts me as a friend.” Hadrulph said, with a smirk. “Are you certain that we are safe, playing this game?” Helen asked, feeling frightened. “As long as you do not get caught before you strike.” Liliana said as she used her index finger to raise Helen’s chin. “And Connor will not get a whiff of what’s going on until we hit him hard and it is too late for him to strike back.” Hadrulph smiled, feeling ready to take Connor down, bits by bits. “Good. I love that zeal and confidence. You can both leave.” Liliana said, with a smile on her face. The next day, Alpha Connor mind-linked Jack to come over. When Jack got to Alpha Connor’s house, Alpha Connor came out with Carolina. “Let’s go to the villa.” “Alright, Alpha.” Jack drove them to the villa and then they all gathered in a circle. “Now, here is the update.

    Alpha Connor woke up with sweats breaking out and then he went to the sitting room to drink water and calm down. Carolina on the other hand was having a dream as well. It seemed those moments were affecting them as well. ...The dream... Carolina's eyes widened as the realization of how dangerous her environment was flashed at the back of her mind. "How did I even end up here? Who brought me down here? What exactly happened?" Carolina asked rhetorically, staring inside the murky water covered with a herd of hungry crocodiles just beneath her. She felt the surface she was standing on wobble and reduce in height, her heart palpitating in so much fear. Carolina staggered slightly but didn't fall because of the chains that were used to securely hold her hands above her head so that she would not free herself. She tugged violently at the chain but it did not show any sign of coming off soon instead she felt very weak on the inside. It was so weird to her because Carolina could rec

    Connor and Carolina were watching a movie when they heard a knock from the door and Connor went to open the door and was shocked to see Hadrulph and Helen. "What are you both doing here?" He asked, with his right eyebrow, raised and didn't want to bother about Helen who was said to have been held hostage and sick. Hadrulph and Helen were both nervous and unsure of how to start. Hardulph was the first to speak. “We came to apologize.” Hadrulph said and cleared his throat. “Apologize? I do not understand what is going on.” Alpha Connor said, looking baffled and staring at them with distrust. “Can we just come in?” Hadrulph asked, looking innocent. Alpha Connor was reluctant to allow them to come in, but Carolina signaled to him that it was fine, so he allowed them to come in and they sat on the couch, but Alpha Connor did not offer them anything. “Now, what do you have to say?” Alpha Connor asked, with his arms, folded. “I just want to apologize for my actions. To be honest, I

    Hadrulph fondled the breast before settling his fingers on the nipple, making her gasp his name. He slowly snaked his tongue up till he got to his ear. He gently picked the tip of it and sucked on it before flicking his tongue into her earlobe. She shivered and purred. Feeling her legs turn to jelly, she quickly placed one of her hands on the wall while the other found his head and ran through his hair. He snaked his free hand under her dress and traced her thigh till he got to her vagina. His hand was so big and it covered her frontals completely. As he tried to find his way in, she widened her legs and shot out her butts, colliding with his hard cock. Her breath was unheaven and just feeling that hardness crushed against her behind was enough to heighten my excitement. I felt myself clenching involuntarily as I widened my legs the more, eagerly waiting for him. The moment he made contact with clits, my body quivered and leaned into him. She must have moaned really loud becaus

    He had his bath and felt refreshed, wore his clothes and went downstairs to the dining room, where Alpha Gerald and Layla were eating their meal already. He looked around and saw that the maids really prepared a bountiful meal today and they were still busy in the kitchen. "Good morning, Alpha Connor. I hope you enjoyed your night?" Alpha Gerald asked, with concern. "Yes, I did. Is there any celebration going on? I can see that the maids are really busy in the kitchen this morning." He asked, hoping to get an answer, because it might be something confidential and they might not want to talk about it. "Uhm.... We are celebrating the day our kingdom gained independence from Black Moon Pack. You know about the story, right?" He asked as he drank his cup of coffee. "Yes. Although, I only know a little out of it." He replied as I moved closer to the dining table. "Yes, that little you know is certainly the main thing that happened. All other information is just a detailed story of how

    He chuckled, because he was funny with what he said. Years back, he had said the same thing, when he asked questions from his father. "Well, it will pay one day. If I didn't do my homework and read well, I might not be able to answer your question." Alpha Connor said, trying to convince the little guy. "Hmmm.... I see." "Well, a few things that I know about stingrays, they are friendly and gentle. The biggest weigh 700 pounds. They are curious and are part of the shark family." Alpha Connor listed and folded my arms. "Whoa... They are one interesting specie." He said, nodding his head slowly. "Thank you, I really appreciate it." He appreciated me, then went back to his parents. The fishes seemed like they were really comfortable in their abode. He had waited about thirty minutes and was beginning to get tired of watching these gloomy looking fishes. Then someone tapped him and he looked back. "I'm back. Sorry I kept you waiting."
