June kicked against the people who tried to clean her up. "I said I'm alright!" She yelled. "I don't need you guys waiting on me! I want to be alone."

One of the medical professionals tried to reason with her. "You need to have-"

"I don't care to hear what you have to say." She cut him off rudely. "Just leave me some time alone, please!"

Zeus stepped into the tent where June was getting treated. "Everyone. Leave." He ordered and the place emptied in seconds.

"I'm calling it off." He announced, leaving no room for refusal. It only worsened June's mood. "This is done with. No more."

"Why? You think I can't do it? Are you ashamed of me too? Do you think I will die at her hands?!" At this point, she was berserk.

"I never said that." Zeus reached for her hand but she was far gone.

"You implied it! You implied it with your words, Zeus!" She roared. "You know what? I want you to leave. I've had a terrible day and I'll be better without any of you crowding my personal space."

    The next exercise was scheduled for dusk. June had the entire day to prepare herself for the next duel which would involve the use of intellect.She had high hopes for this type of exercise as it depended on her intelligence and not the physical strength she clearly lacked. June had yet to speak to her wolf or Augusta. It seemed like they didn't try to speak to her either because she couldn't even feel the buzz of their presence. She didn't let it bother her and went on with her training. It was very early in the day and June stepped out of bed to sprint. Zeus joined her on the training ground with a frown marred against his face. "You scared me." He said, June was startled. She didn't hear him come in."Didn't you hear me come?" Zeus inquired with narrowed brows. "You sneaked up on me," she spoke in an accusing tone. "You should have sensed me." Zeus stated with a blank expression. "I didn't, okay?" She deadpanned, tired of the backs and forths.Zeus walked up to her and took

    Zeus stepped into June's quarters with a berserk look on his eyes. "That's it. Call it off. You won't be doing this anymore."June was getting dressed by some maids who prepared her for the next Luna games test. "Leave us." She said and they all obliged.In seconds, the room was empty, safe for Zeus who closed the gap between them and planted a kiss on her lips. June welcomed him with open arms, losing herself into the kiss as they discarded their outfits. Zeus' eyes glowed a bright shade of red and his kisses became desperate."You can't..." He whispered into her ears and pushed her against the wall. June let out a loud gasp as he slid into her. "It's dangerous." He held her neck, slithering in and out while she moaned with her back arched."Zeus..." She moaned,"Listen to me." He bit her earlobe, inciting a fire within her. "Let me handle it. Let me take care of you. Just say the word."June remained silent, eyes rolled back on the wall as he had his wicked way with her. Soon en

    Tara's wolf hunted and killed a coyote after two hours. She ripped the animal to shreds and took out its thigh bones. Afterwards, she buried the animal and headed on to find June. With a look at the sky, she figured she had a bit of time to carry out her plans before midnight. June scoured the woods, pondering on the words - beneath the darkened veil, where the world above has lost its trail. She looked at the dark skies thoughtfully. "Where has the world above lost its trail?" She voiced her concerns, asking the empty sky. "There you are." She heard a familiar voice and turned around. "Looking for this?" Tara whipped out a bone with a smirk in place. June felt her heart stop. She couldn't believe it. "Is t-that?""Don't be a fool now, Augusta. I won this round and the last one. I defeated you." She said with a cynical look. June's feet were stuck to the ground, unmoving as she thought on the implications of her loss. "As much as I would love to let you experience the feeling o

    "Help!" June yelled at the top of her voice, struggling against the firm hold that threatened to bury her alive. "Somebody!" She cried. "Anybody!"June tried to get out of the quick sand to no avail. The more she struggled against it, the faster it dragged her in. The quicksand got to her waist, firmly holding her bound until it got to her neck, then to her nose, until it covered her whole. There and then, June's heart stopped and Zeus felt it immediately. A searing feeling of something being ripped away from him. Zeus fell to the ground with his hand in his chest. "Augusta..." He muttered, refusing to believe what he felt. At that moment, Tara ran through the woods in her human form. She wore a triumphant smile as she proceeded towards the borders while Georgina watched Zeus with a hidden smile. "Oh great! Tara is close!" Georgina announced when she sensed her presence. Unknown to them, it was only the beginning of her plans. Meanwhile, Zeus' eyes were blood red as his wolf we

    Chaos erupted as rogues poured into the Nightshade pack. The men who were supposed to kill Zeus were caught off guard and as a result, placed their focus on killing the rogues. "Stop this foolishness at once!" Georgina growled at Darren who was berserk with the loss of his mate. "Get out of the way, mama." He said from the other side of the battle, "Get out of the way before you get hurt. He must die at my hands."Zeus lay on the ground, weak and very much alive. While they argued, he tried to get off the ground but it proved to be difficult."You can't kill him even if you try." Georgina stood in front of Zeus. "He's too strong for you. Get out of the way before you get yourself killed. I didn't train you to be this careless."Darren could not be reasoned with. Earlier in the day, he watched his mate die from the fifth surgery conducted on her. All because of his demon brother Zeus. He must die at his hands. He was done waiting for the perfect timing. He would take his vengeance

    "It's been seven months." The doctor said to Mrs Evelyn who looked anything but happy. "I don't care how long it's been," She gritted, "I will not give up on my child."Mrs Evelyn lost a lot of weight over the past couple of months. Watching her daughter remain in a vegetative state nipped at her senses and as the days went by, all she lived for was the hope that she would one day stare at the eyes of her daughter. "We understand your plight.." The doctor said but she was quick to shut him up. "No, you do not! You have no idea what it means to watch your child lie in a vegetative state with nothing to do about it!" She yelled in his face. "I will not have you stand there and advise me to kill my child!"Lucy was in the room, and she held Mrs Evelyn whose hand shook. "Please Calm down, mother. It's okay." She cooed, hoping to curb the implications of Mrs Evelyn's anger. After the accident seven months ago, Mrs Rivera had dedicated her every waking moment to tending to June and as a

    Liam Fernando visited the hospital as soon as he touched down in South City.Despite his busy schedule, he always made time to see June while he sought solutions to her vegetative state. Over time, he gathered some doctors who believed they could help June's situation or at least increase her chances of revival. Nothing was promised though as the success rates were as low as one percent. Nevertheless, Evelyn, Liam and Lucy were ready to try anything sane if it meant they could heighten June's chances of recovery.Liam was escorted by some men who stood outside June's hospital ward while he went inside. June was plugged into the ventilator, still and beautiful as ever. Lucy stepped in a second later. "You are here," She looked around. "Where is Mother?"They heard the toilet flush and got the answer to her questions. "I brought in some doctors. They will be here any second." Liam stated with a blank look. Just then, the bathroom door clicked open and Evelyn walked out of the place

    "You're alive!" Lucy cried, unable to believe it. She rushed towards June and held her palm. "Are you alright? Do you feel pain anywhere?" Lucy's voice was hurried and full of affection. "Water.." She croaked, meanwhile, Liam beeped the doctors and soon the ward was filled with medical professionals who checked on June. "How many fingers am I holding up?" The medical director asked."Two," June replied. "How about now?" "Five." Liam, Lucy and the others watched tensely as the doctor carried out his evaluation process. "It's a miracle." He said after a few minutes. "I've never seen such a smooth recovery in my forty-five years of practice." He spoke with awe. "You must have done something right in your previous lifetime, Miss."June couldn't be bothered with his words. "Where is Rafael?" She asked, "I need to see him. What happened to him? And mother? Where is she?"Lucy was alarmed at her friend's question. She looked over to Liam, begging for assistance. She couldn't inform Jun

    Lucy sat in the hotel room, dressed in her blue dress and texting Liam for an answer. When her phone finally rang and Liam displayed on the screen, she excused herself, and stepped out of the room. "I've been texting you for the past thirty minutes!" Lucy whisper-yelled as soon as the line connected. "What's going on? The mother's have been blowing my phone and I think June is already suspecting me.""You can leave the hotel. I arranged a car to take you both to the venue. It's a white limo." Liam said, expertly avoiding Lucy's question. "You still haven't told me what's going on! I deserve to-" Two beeps and the call disconnected. Liam hung up on her. Lucy gritted her teeth, trying to control her anger. She couldn't mess things up. Not today. She would handle him later. Summoning a smile, Lucy returned to the hotel room."We need to leave. Our ride is here." She said and June squinted, raising her head from the document she studied for the past several minutes. "Ride?"Lucy's ey

    June sat in her office chair when Lucy hurriedly entered her room. "We have to leave!" She said with urgency in her tone.June blinked in confusion. "Why? Is there a problem?""Yes! The president is coming to visit the South City project site with some key investors.""The president has requested you to take them on a tour on site. We don't have much time." June got on her feet, gathering her phone and some other essentials, alongside the project blueprints. "How long do we have?" She asked. "Three hours." Lucy said, "According to the news, you are to get something with the investors before heading to the site.""The president has assigned our makeovers. We need to leave immediately." "Makeovers?" June asked with a frown. "Why would we need makeovers?""We don't have time. I'll explain on the way." Just like that Lucy dragged June out of the office for a makeover. They arrived at a hotel just close to the airport and while June tried to gather her thoughts, the hired team of pro

    April got into her hotel room dressed like a man. Her eyes were narrowed in anger as she threw down a lamp from the bedside table. "A surprise wedding, huh?" She gritted, blood burning with anger. "I'll give them a wedding to remember!" April flew into South City in disguise for a secret mission for the Cordel family. After seeing the press around her sister and Rafael's survival as well as her mother taking over the Lontoc and Rivera companies, she sought for an opportunity to come into South City and when the opportunity presented itself, she took it with both hands. However, due to her condition as a wanted person she couldn't go about freely for fear of getting caught as a dupe. The first few days, she spent carrying out her business with her colleagues until she had some free time. She decided to find out what her silly sister was up to and stalked her house only to find out she had long packed away. Apparently, June was living a comfortable life as the wife of Rafael while s

    "You are going to be an older brother." June said to a young Luis during dinner a few weeks later. The entire family gathered for a small dinner. Evelyn, Lucy, and Carson were present alongside Mrs Beatrice who celebrated the wonderful news. "I'll be a grandmother!" Mrs Evelyn cried, "I'm so happy for you, my child."The evening was a cozy one as they all congratulated the couple on the news. "You are finally getting all the good things you deserve." Lucy said, "I'm so happy for you."The night was not over as June decided to add another joyful news to the equation. It was her mother's wedding anniversary and she hoped to brighten the day with some good news for Mrs Evelyn. "Thank you all for coming to celebrate with me." June said in a speech, "I want to use this medium to appreciate everyone for your intense support."She turned to Mrs Evelyn. "You've been the best mother to me, helping me through the hardest part of my life.""Child...""I just want to thank you. I am in a hap

    The next few months were a slow recovery for Mrs Beatrice with the support and love of her family. With the constant reassurance and love of Rafael, and the entire family, she was gradually becoming stronger which was good news for the extended family who were finally in unity. Rafael returned to work and in a matter of three months, Ambrose Corporation was able to make a startling profit of over seven hundred billion, quickly retaking their position as one of the top corporations in the world. June was not left to the side, JL Architectures were making waves with the new South City project up and running and the public support. June and Rafael made their relationship public, garnering the support of the masses who followed, adored and loved the powerful couple. The news raved about how they survived the ghastly accident, their journey as a couple and their unconditional love for each other. Everything progressed well and on Luis's birthday, his parents and family showered him w

    June woke up to soft kisses from Rafael who lay beside her. She smiled in her sleep as she blinked awake."Rafe-" She swooned, palming his face with a Loving gaze. "Hey, Wifey." He mused, "Good morning."Rafael proceeded to lavish kisses on her face, going in for her lips but she tactically avoided him. "I need to brush my teeth!" She said when he continued trying to kiss her on the lips. "I don't care-" Rafael mused. "Now let me kiss you." He demanded softly and she shook her head. The next second, June slipped away from the bed, successfully evading his kisses and giggling when her husband wore a duped expression. "I promise you can kiss me for as long as you want," she said, "Right after I freshen up." June hopped into the shower after taking care of her business, and halfway through it, the door opened and Rafael joined her inside. "Rafe-" June's eyes widened when she saw him walk in naked with his hard member in full display. "I'm only trying to freshen up too," Rafael mu

    Liam returned to the Fernando estate and went to the dungeons where Lydia Cordel, the wife of the Late Andre Cordel was being held. "I was wondering when I'd finally see you," Lydia said as soon as she saw him at her gate. "I thought we were partners?""Do not forget your position, woman." Liam's voice was cold and aloof as he took on the aura of the cold mafia don he was. "Your life is a gift that could be taken at any time. You are advised to treasure it well." "If you wanted me dead I should be dead by now," Lydia said purposefully. "And I'm not dead.""Yet." Liam finished in a gritty tone. One of his men brought him a seat and he sat right in front of Lydia's cell, which was better than most since it had a bed and she received health care. "Tell me the truth and I might consider letting you keep your gift of life." He pulled off his black shades. "Did you or did you not kill your husband?""I did." She answered without skipping a beat. "And why would you do that?""Because he

    June and Rafael spent their days together. It was like an unofficial vacation and honeymoon. Rafael made good progress on his health with June around to love and supervise him. Everything felt surreal for the love birds who had been apart for so long. One day, the doctor came in with good news, stating that Rafael was ready to leave the hospital, and scheduling him on weekly appointments to monitor his progress. June could barely hide her happy tears. It felt like everything was falling right into place. Although Rafael's legs were not strong, they were on the right path and she believed that in due time, he would learn to use his legs again. "I want to be discharged today," Rafael told the doctor, interlacing his fingers with June who sat by his bed smiling happily. "I can't spend a day more in this hospital." June laughed at the desperation in Rafael's voice. It's been a few rough weeks since she moved into the hospital with Rafael constantly trying to make love to her. They h

    It was the early hours of the day and June was fast asleep when her phone started ringing. Having slept in from her busy night, she silenced the call and turned over, hoping to get some extra sleep before returning to Rafael's mansion. The phone started ringing again, disturbing not just her but Luis who turned in his sleep, disturbed by the noise. This time, June silenced the call, got up from bed, and headed out the balcony to answer the call. The phone stopped ringing before she could pick up and started ringing within a few seconds. It was Carson."You better have a good reason for calling me this early in the morning," June said once the call was connected, irritated from having her sleep disturbed. The line was flat. She could hear breathing but there was nothing. She removed the phone from her ears and checked if it was still active."Hello?" June said when she was certain the call was still connected. "Good morning, wifey." June stiffened upon hearing a gruff masculine
