CHAPTER 9 – RICHARD

"Master," The servant standing outside my study door bowed, as she opened the door.

I go through the door, slamming it shut and locking it from the inside. The last thing I need right now is any form of intrusion.

The young mage who was seated on the small couch stands at the sight of me. She's dressed in the ancient outfit of the cave Mages. Her black coak has a hood that covers her hair. She takes it off and bows.

"You sent for me," She says softly, with a courtesy smile.

"Yes, I did. Have a seat," I gesture at the couch and she sits. I sit on a different couch, and there's a small table between us.

The Mages gave me my powers and in return, I let them roam half of the packs I conquered. I owe them everything I have, and they owe me so much too. That's the only reason they can honor my invitation on such short notice.

Flair is one of the youngest and pretty good in dark spells. And she's visited here more than the others, so it's kinda relaxing with her.

    CHAPTER 10 - JANEI open my eyes to a silver light shining down on me. My eyes are heavy from sleeping for what seems like ages. I look around and there's nothing familiar about this place.I try to move but my hands are chained and my legs too. I'm only in my panties and lace bra. My mouth is gagged with a piece of clothing. My skin is smudged with dirt and a bit of slimy substances.Tears slide down my eyes as I look around the place again. It seems to be a tube-like cage but it's transparent. My gaze travels farther and I might be wrong, but this looks like a cave. A creepy, blood-curdling, eerie, horrific cave.I let out a yelp as I see a crawling creature with lots of limbs and a gruesome face with long fangs. There are a lot of them and they are crawling up and down the walls.Where am I? I hear a faint voice and I look in that direction. "Ri – Richard?" I stutter in a mumbled mess, 'cause of the gag. For a second, I wonder if it's really him.He's dressed in just his briefs,

    CHAPTER 11 - RICHARDThe repeated knock on the door snaps me out of my deep slumber. My eyes flutter in a rush and my gaze hits the exquisite light from the chandelier hanging from the ceiling.I sit up, squinting my eyes from the sun rays that infiltrated the window. It takes a moment to get a grip and try analyzing where the hell I am.The room looks nothing like the room in the castle I share with Lucy. This room is a whole lot bigger and the design is top-notch. It emits a strong sophistication that I've never seen.The bedsheet is made of the finest silk I've ever seen. The room is ten times bigger than the usual rooms in werewolf packs. The bed is thrice the size of my usual bed and the decor of the room is quite a sight. Nothing like what I'm used to.My gaze travels through the walls and there are a couple of my portraits placed side by side. I looked…different, almost unrecognizable. Where the hell am I?I feel something in my hand and I look down to see what it is I'm holdin

    CHAPTER 12 - RICHARD"What is this?" Ray asks, reaching to grab something from the bed. I turn slightly to see him picking up the collar and looking closely at it."Give me that," I snatch it from him with a scowl on my face. I don't care what fucking buddies we may be in this world.In the other world, he is a sellout who tagged with my enemies and dethroned me, handing over my throne to my illegitimate, half-brother. It'll be hard to erase all the hurtful memories he'd created in my head."What is that?" He asks, with a curious look on his face."None of your damn business," I grunt. "Take it easy, man. I'm just asking because I've never seen you with ancient stuff," He chuckles, trying to ease the tension."Yeah. I just found this and picked interest in it." I stood from the bed, away from his interrogation. "What you doing here?""What do you mean?" He creases his brows again. And I realize I just may have asked another crazy question."Just kidding." I chuckle, running my finge

    CHAPTER 13 - RICHARD"I asked for a world where I can be with Jane again. I never said anything about meeting Ray or my family. What the hell is going on?" I demand sharply."It's a whole different world, Richard. And maybe here, you and Ray had a fallout and your family is dead. But there, I think it's all different…" she explains calmly."Yeah. Fucking different. Ray is my best friend -slash-work buddy-slash-Beta. And my father and brothers are all alive. How the hell am I supposed to deal with that?" The fact that this whole crazy idea came from my head doesn't excuse its absurdity. I don't want to go through the trauma of dealing with my overly-demanding and stuck-up father. Or the competition of trying to beat my other brothers.I went through that shit once, it fucked me up, and I killed them all. I don't wanna do that again. She sighs, going over to sit on an ancient chair that looks like a throne."My sisters will be here soon so let's be quick. We've got a ritual."Well, t

    CHAPTER 14 - JANE (The parallel universe)"Jane!" The familiar feminine voice shouts again, knocking off a bit of sleep lingering in my eyes. I sit up again, tossing the pillow off me.My eyes are drowsy, and I rub them repeatedly. The heaviness in my head threatens to pull me down again. I grab the duvet, covering my body, ready to get more sleep."Get up!" The voice snaps, yanking the duvet from my body. "Let me sleep some more," I say groggily, trying to rest my head on the pillow. The thumping in my head makes me groan painfully. "No, you won't." In the next second, cold water splashes on my face, startling me from my sleepy mood."June!" I yell frustratedly, gasping from how cold the water feels. "What did you do that for?""To help get rid of the sleep in your eyes. Now go get ready, or you'll be late for work." She says firmly and walks out of my room.I try getting down from the bed but the pounding in my head increases."Ouch," I groan, rubbing at my temples. It just fee

    CHAPTER 15 - JANEAn uncomfortable silence stirs in the office as neither of us says a word to the other. I'm seated on one of the swivel chairs for visitors. I'm not a bit relaxed and I can't even figure out why. It's not my first time coming in here. But today, it feels like a first, and odd.Maybe because I had to lock the door, and how calmly he'd been, and how he'd smiled at me too. Maybe it was the aura swirling in the room, or maybe I was just overthinking things. I don't know. I'm just really uncomfortable. I wish I could just leave.It's even worse that he demands me but still has his gaze fixed on the files. He has not spoken a word after he asked me to sit. Now I'm wondering if that had been a mistake. Should I just excuse myself? Wouldn't that be rude?"Sir," I clear my throat, needing to get his attention. His brown eyes shoot up and linger, just a little below my face. I follow his gaze and it falls on my cleavage, popping out from the few unlocked buttons in my button-f

    CHAPTER 16 - RICHARDI walk out of the mansion with Ray, stepping down the front stairs. I'm back in the parallel universe and ready to do whatever it is my other self used to do. Right now, we're heading to his company, or do I say, 'my company?'I'm still a whole lot confused about what to do and how to behave for it to seem "normal". But I'm willing to adapt, and as quickly as possible. Flair said I'll be meeting Jane here in a few days. I should have adapted a bit before then."We're late." Ray huffs, checking his wristwatch with irritation. "For what?" I ask, following his every move. I don't know my way around, and he seems to know where we should be headed."The goddamn meeting with the Russians. Don't tell me you forgot about it," he increases his pace and I do the same."No. How could I forget?" I mutter less confidently. If only I had a fucking clue…The kind of meetings we hold back in the pack in the other world seems to be a lot different from whatever kind of meetings w

    CHAPTER 17 - RICHARDTaking a closer look at my Father's picture, I notice how he looks a bit different here. Like an expertly revamped version of himself. He still has a grey beard but he looks chubby and his hair is grey and stylishly laid back. His face is free of freckles and his pose screams authority and power. Father has always been a hard and obstinate man, but something tells me it's a whole lot worse in this world. Just a glimpse at his picture and I'm already convinced we just might have another bloody beef here. Something stings inside me and I know that's the little innocence left in me. The innocent craving for acceptance from a son towards his father. Deep down, a little bit of me still hopes he'll treat me differently this time around.I might have killed him off in the other world, but that's 'cause I was too bittered. If I had his love and acknowledgment, I just might not have done that.But then, it's just my wishful thinking and I know Father will never love me.

    CHAPTER 32 – RICHARD (PARALLEL UNIVERSE)"Who's next?!" Ray yells, as the scruffy, haggard lady scrams out of the office. "Let's just tell them all to go fuck themselves!" I snap at Ray, slamming my hands on the table. Just then, the door opens and another female walks in. She's a little better dressed than the last female, but she's still not Jane, and I'm getting fucking impatient!"Relax, man. We'll get you a fine-ass secretary. I promise." Ray whispers to me, rubbing my arm. His hair is tousled from the stress and I feel a bit of sympathy for him."With the sorry excuses of females walking in through that door, I highly doubt that," I reply with a hiss, standing abruptly that my seat topples behind me.The loud crashing sound makes her flinch, and she lowers her head. I can see her finger quivering in fright around her résumé. She's dead scared from just a crashing sound. What happens if she accidentally gets hired and has to listen to me yell and cuss her ass out every day? She'

    CHAPTER 31 - JANE (PARALLEL UNIVERSE)I walk out of the grocery store, steadying the grocery bags in my arms. They're heavy and filled to their brim. It's only a matter of time before I'm tired and need to get a taxi. But for now, I'll just try to enjoy the walk."Jane, wait up!" June sprints slightly to meet me, as we take the sidewalk, heading home. The street is rowdy and crowded so we keep squeezing through bodies and sometimes, bumping into others."Why don't we just grab a taxi already? It's tiring carrying these bags and bumping into people." I sigh, adjusting the weights on my arms. This definitely isn't what I signed up for."Going home with a taxi will make us get home faster, and that's gonna ruin everything.""Ruin what?" I ask confusedly."Your little time outside," June replies, flipping her hair. "C'mon Jane, you've spent weeks brooding and wallowing in misery. You refused to leave the apartment. This is your first time out, in two weeks. You should enjoy the fresh air

    CHAPTER 30 - VISHAL (THE FIRST UNIVERSE)Watching the leaves fall from the tree is a little medicinal and it eases a bit of the suffocation I'm feeling in my heart. My fingers are loosely wrapped around the glass of brandy in my hand. I sip from it again, not letting my eyes off the window. It's a bright day and full of good energy but I feel more gloomy than I ever have. Jane has been gone for over a week and there's still no news about her disappearance. Richard has disappeared too. No trace of him or his feral werewolves. It feels like they all just…disappeared. For real. I've combed the entire pack and beyond in my desperate search for my mate, Jane. I've contacted every Alpha of the packs in the region to be on the lookout and let me know if they see her. But no one has any news about her or Richard.It's been frustrating and agonizing for me, waking up each day alone and knowing that my mate is somewhere out there but I can't find her. I take another chug of my brandy, savori

    CHAPTER 29 - JANEI stare blankly at him as he gives a husky chuckle strolling to his chair. He pushes it back and slides into it, crossing his legs. I don't bother sitting, so I just remain standing and staring at him.His smirk is flirtatious as he boldly undresses me with his eyes. His eyes linger longer on my lips and he bites his lower lip."So tell me, what's it gonna be?" His husky, deep voice reverberates in the room. My skin flushes from the heat growing between us."Please, Sir. Why don't we talk about this again? Hear me out, please. I don't think·""You're not supposed to think, Jane!" He cuts in, impatiently. "I'm not making an impossible proposal here, so don't make things difficult.""More than you already did?" I ask calmly, but my nerves are ripping apart."I think you got the wrong conception about my proposal, Jane. I'm not making things difficult. On the contrary, I'm here to give you a smooth ride in life." He pushes open the drawer and takes out a checkbook.I wa

    CHAPTER 28 – JANE (Parallel Universe)I take a sip of my coffee, and then a bite of my cookies. I don't have much appetite, especially because my mind is running wild. I can't stop thinking about what I'll be telling my boss today. Will I accept his proposal or is it safe to say I'm gonna be officially unemployed starting today?I'm nervous as hell and I just can't stomach the sweet breakfast I made. I can't even relax. My boss occupies my mind and my heart is racing in anxiety. What do I do? How do I solve this problem without losing my job?I can't afford to be unemployed. I got too many bills to pay, that I just can't afford to be unemployed. But fucking my boss doesn't sound appealing either. So what do I do?"Good morning!" June's voice distracts me from my thoughts. I look up and see her coming down the stairs."Hey, girlfriend. Good to see you're finally awake." I smile at her. She kisses my cheek and struts to the kitchen."I had a nice sleep. Thank you so much for not waking

    CHAPTER 27 – RICHARDThe rage that's jabbing at every inch of my nerves is rather monstrous. And if whoever just spilled his drink on me doesn't have a fucking valid reason, I just might snap his neck. I don't care. I've had enough frustrating moments to last the night. I don't need to endure this bullshit."Are you fucking blind or what?!""I'm so sorry…I'm sorry, I didn't·" the voice stops talking.My rage drops a notch as I see who the words are from. It's a female. A sexy human female. Not a werewolf. She's drunk, like fucking tipsy, and even though she's trying to be steady, she keeps slipping and bumping into random bodies.I'm not sore how seeing a drunk, sexy human should make me feel, but right now, I'm fucking pissed and it's all thanks to her whiskey drenching my outfit. The fact that she's almost naked despite her black lace shorts and the lacy top doesn't suffice my rage. It didn't even get my dick hard. Irritation is all I feel right now.She's staring deep into my eyes

    CHAPTER 26 - RICHARD"I'm fine, dude. Told you already. I bumped my head into something hard and my memories are lagging a bit. But other than that, I'm fucking fine. Don't worry." I say in a firm voice, trying to convince him.He nods, sipping his drink in silence. I'm not dense. I can see on his face that he doesn't believe me a hundred percent. He's probably just tired of bugging me about it, and that's why he's pretending to believe me. But then, I don't honestly care if he believes me or not. I just hope he doesn't bother me anymore with his irritating questions about why I'm acting differently. I'm sick and tired of telling the same lies. He should just give it a rest.We sip our drinks in silence, and I, for once, turn to the crowd to see what's going on. The place is filled with naked, aroused human bodies, caressing each other and fighting to get some pleasure. There's an object of excitement at the podium, I assume, 'cause the men wouldn't quit whistling in that direction.

    CHAPTER 25 – RICHARD"One more bottle of tequila!" I yell out to the bartender, twirling the shot glass in my loose grip. My eyes are getting heavy from a couple of drinks I've had. But it doesn't matter. I plan on getting fucking wasted tonight. The bartender places the bottle in front of me and Ray reaches to grab it. I beat him to it, grabbing the bottle and turning the other way to pour myself a drink."That's enough, man. You drinking way too much." Ray sighs behind me. "Not as much as I plan on," I reply briskly, placing the bottle on the counter. I chug down my drink and it heats my throat, leaving me with a strong urge to pour myself another glass. You could say I'm a fucking addict, but tequila has always been it for me."Dude, what are you talking about? We both know you've never been a good drinker. Booze drives you insane. Makes you do the craziest things. Isn't that why you quit drinking? What the hell is going on with you tonight?!"Yeah, right. I scoffed at his lectur

    CHAPTER 24 - JANE (Parallel universe)"Tell me. How did it happen? What did you do? Why did he make such a proposal out of the blue? Or has this been going on for a while?" June fires me a lot of questions. Her brown eyes twinkle with curiosity mixed with a bit of…excitement? "No. It was literally out of the blue. I got to work. I was at my desk when he came in with his small entourage. Then his wife walked in too…""That cold hag." June snorts, making a face of disgust."June! Don't call her that." I reprimand her."But it's true. I'm in my mid-twenties and I still haven't seen any woman colder than your boss's wife. She's always dressed like some…""That's enough, June. Please." I say more firmly, shutting up whatever rude remarks she's trying to voice out. "Don't forget she's still my boss's wife. Show the woman a bit of respect.""Okay. Okay. Whatever." She scoffs, waving it off. "So what happened after that?""She walked into his office, and after a few minutes, she ran out in t
