107. Being a grim reaper Zach POV It's impossible. My pupils amplified in fear and shock as I restarted the CCTV footage again. It sent the shockwaves down my body again. I've already seen it a dozen times and every new time it makes my heart climb up to my throat and beat in my mouth. It had my Jade looking vulnerable. Assaulted. And all the way deprived. She was in a coat that I deem was Matteo Bernard's she picked up before she left the confinement of his room. Her face was stained with blood drops. She was moving fearlessly in the garden unlike how she was brought in. Her head tilted ominously to her left and a chasing guard came to a standstill. His feet left the ground as he floated in the mid air like some ruthless puppeteer was pulling invisible strings on him to make it happen. I could see it was Jade. The puppeteer. The way her eyes moved and her gaze stalled over her shoulder, it felt like she was casting a spell on the man and evil forces emerging from her spell lif
108. Confess A storm emerged in the pit of my stomach. A storm of indignation. I couldn't control the angry tears from accumulating in my eyes as I saw the old asshole's face flicker with anxiety. This was the same man who held my thighs apart and threatened to tear my pussy into shreds. The fucker who pulled the trigger and put a bullet in my mother's body. He asked for her to be buried alive and caused her intolerable pain. She was bleeding when I saw her. She bled until she died. I swear on my mom that I would make him bleed until the very last drop, too. Stupid mother fucker will regret letting me go. He should have made a hole between my eyebrows the moment he saw me. "Take out your phone and go live on social media." My voice jolted him out of his shock. He ground his teeth not from rage but from rising fear. "How did you come in here? Where is Matteo? You are committing a mistake, Matteo. You don't want to start a war against me, do you? I am telling you—" "Tell the peo
109. I'll kill you too, Alpha Zach! Jade's POV I followed him into the darkness. If this was any other situation, I would be cowering away. Looking for an excuse to avoid stepping into this black maze full of unanticipated demons in every shape and form. However, I was not the old Jade who used to scream at the feel of a spider crawling up her back. I was a tortured woman turned into a temporary grim reaper. I had no scythe or a black cloak. But my powers made me no less. Stanley Archibald didn't feel my presence while I was hard on his heels. He had slowed down, taking his time to walk carefully through the bumpy floor with outgrown roots. It wasn't until he sagged against a tree to catch his breaths that I sighed loudly. Making sure that my presence was made known, I spoke, "You didn't realize but you brought me to a location similar to where you had me pinned naked on the ground some hours ago." I stepped into the line o
110. One last requestJade's POVThe accumulating heat in the pit of my stomach turned my vision blurry with need. His throat throbbed in my grip as his gaze smiled. It lodged a punch of weakness in my chest. I could feel his lips dancing with a teasing smirk behind the vines.I let his throat go like letting go of a naked wire before it electrocuted me. Raw fury engulfed the entirety of my body as I looked up at his face again. My heart was punctured and bleeding to remorse. Yet all he had to do was smirk like he fucking owned me and knew the effect this situation was having on me.Feeling the flames of betrayal lick and slurp at my heart, I found the sharpest twig from around. The area was bathed in a startling, radiant glow. Allowing me a clear look of his face and around me. Birds chirped welcoming the new morning while here I darted the pointed end of the twig straight at his heart."Infidels deserve death." I punched out fro
111. Move on, Zach Zach's POV 5 years later, "Alpha Zach," I looked up from my laptop towards the door. Nathan was standing with a crying Lelah in his arms. At once, I got up and closed the gap between us. Taking Lelah in my arms, I kissed her hair and held her gently to my chest. "She's been crying a lot. She refuses to go to school." Nathan said while Lelah hid her face in my chest. "Is that true, bunny?" Lelah reluctantly looked up and blinked her wet lashes. "You loved to go to school, didn't you? Why would my sweet bunny baby say no to going to school today?" I took her to my desk and sat her down next to my laptop. She loved cookies so I carried them everywhere with me. Or had them stored in a jar around me. My daughter was sensitive to harsh tones and dark glares. Sometimes I unexpectedly scared her, bringing tears to her shiny doey orbs. Hence, I kept cookies with me to make sure my daughter was distracted from my rare outbursts... But scary ones. "Hey, is something
112. Be a good boy, Zade Jade's POV My legs quivered and the tautness in my knees made my stride slower. I placed a hand on my heart and pushed myself to hurry towards the Principal's cabin in Zade's school. My son is four, but every now and again I am summoned to his school to deal with the problems he creates for me. And the Principal rang me up not twenty minutes ago while I was working in the farms. She said it was an emergency and she sounded scared as hell. "Mrs. Watchman," I set the door ajar and stepped inside, panting. "Hey, mom! You're quite early this time." Zade was sitting cross-legged on the couch in Principal Watchman's cabin to her right, giving me a lopsided smile that reminds me of someone I left behind five years ago. He lifted his tiny right hand to salute at me when I noticed his burst knuckles. Fear roused up in my chest and I rushed towards him. On autopilot I collapsed to my knees and took both his hands to assess if he had more injuries. "Oh dear, what h
113. Stubborn baby Jade's POVThe ride back home was silent as I refused to let Zade's cuteness melt through my determination. Although he tried using his ways with me, I was still his mother. I picked him up and went home like that while he faked loud cries and tried to be stubborn. I dropped him in a chair placed across from the countertop in the kitchen. He aggressively threw his bag and sat cross-legged, his hands folded tightly against his chest as he pouted infuriatingly. "What makes my boy so angry?! Jade, did you do something?" I was washing an apple to give to Zade as his afternoon snack as a way of punishment when Turley walked in with a bag full of groceries. The woman brought an instant smile to Zade's face. He stood up on the stool and opened his arms wide. Turley took him gladly and wetted his face with kisses. She ruffled his hair and sat him down on the countertop as she listened to Zade's whispers. Rolling my eyes, I cut the apple into pieces. Turley has spoiled m
114. Zach's off to San Francisco Zach's POV The meeting with the Unholy Allies came to an end after six long hours of discussion. We came to an agreement to issue a warning to the fuckers who think they can take over the reins of the United States from us. Although Xan and Rogue voted in favor of blasting their headquarters and to put an eternal end to their threats. Conor, Evan and I voted to adopt nonviolence as our first move. We haven't had big wars in the last five years. Just some bickering and shoot-outs here and there. We didn't lose men or money over fights earlier and I don't want us to lose any now. So it's only fair to give the soldiers some respite from blood baths. I came back home in the early morning at two. The sky was dark and full of twinkling stars. I didn't think twice before taking myself to Lelah's room where she was cutely snuggled in her blanket. With my hands going on either side of her shoulders on the mattress, I bent down on her to kiss her forehead
Unholy Allies #2: Mr. Rogue King, Can You Kidnap Me Please? Blurb: Kathrine Raynott I was barely three when my father, Alpha Lincoln, sold me off to a sixty year old bastard to settle his debts. All these years I've tried all that it takes to escape Alpha Lincoln's hell-like mansion. I have one last time to try ten minutes before my twenty-first birthday party begins. And this time I managed to escape... Except in a sack with a handkerchief around my mouth and eyes blindfolded... Kidnapped! Rogue Cordiero A businessman in the daylight and the Bratva boss in the night, I live a life I have written for myself. And they fear to conduct business with me as I hate being cheated. So when a foolish Alpha tries it with me, I'm determined to take back what's mine along with his daughter. She's gorgeous. Eleven years younger but a seductress that's got my eyes hooked to her little body. She's a fighter.... I like fighters! The only problem is that... She's been sold and she's bee
134. HEA: The Savage Alpha claimed his Rebel Last Chapter Jade's POV Inching his face up, he bruised my collarbone with a red bite as his devilish eyes dared me to moan. Bloody Asshole Alpha. He was challenging me. I wouldn't mind doing it, but I was afraid he would really open the door. Zach could do it. He's done many things he said before and I was not stupid that I would try it just to see how it would really end up if I moaned. I gripped my mouth tighter as I was close. Breathing hard, I whimpered. Zach glared at me again as he gestured to me to not do that either. Bloody control freak. He curled his fingers deeper as something quivered in my gut and exploded. "Nice control, Jade Salvay. I didn't expect you to..." He kneaded my breasts and spanked them. "Hold it so long!" He then lowered his mouth to clean my pussy off the evidence of my strong orgasm while I rested back on the seat like a beaten up pup. When Zach was done, he put my panties in place and patted my cli
133. They're married Jade's POV"I do." The happiness in my voice echoed in the room as I answered the priest's question.He then turned to Zach and asked the same question to him, "Alpha Zach Salvay, do you take Jade Thornton to be your wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?" "I do... With all my heart." Warmth spiraled within me when he announced that in a loud and clear voice that echoed off the walls.Then we exchanged the rings. When Zach slipped the ring onto my finger, my mouth parted in amazement. It twinkled on my finger like a star in the sky. Zach lifted my hand and kissed it. The glint in his eyes and the hoots increasing behind us indicated that we were pronounced as husband and wife, and it was time that Zach should kiss his bride. He held my waist possessively, and as I was looking at him, he pulled me closer and put his lips on
132. Misunderstanding cleared Zach's POV When I stirred to consciousness, a pang of pain shot through my chest. I hissed and remained still until the pain reduced. Sucking in a deep gulp of oxygen, I tried to get up. Surprise held me immobile as my nostrils flared with Jade's alluring scent and my eyes stalled on her beautiful face. She was sleeping soundly with her head resting on her hand that was put on the edge of the bed I was spread over. I blinked my eyes and moved my aching shoulder. The electrocuting pain confirmed that I was not dreaming. Jade was as real as the pain from the bullet punctures in my chest. Although in other cases, after waking up I went after the people who harmed me. In this case, I didn't care who was behind it or for what reason they had to shoot me. I had Jade here sitting on a stool, in a very fucking uncomfortable position, right by my side. Having her here beside me is all I would ever ask for. And if such attacks are able to bring her closer to m
131. Mom will never go again Jade's POV"Zach!!!" I ran to him as he collapsed on his back. Redness soaked his black t-shirt and three visible bullet wounds pooled like little ponds with overflowing blood.His father growled like a mad beast and jumped out of the car. Curses spilled from his mouth as he shifted into a werewolf, so big and tall that my eyes widened in fright, and ran after the speeding up van. "Zach," His name resounded dreadful on my lips as I sat next to him. Seeing his oozing blood, I began to hyperventilate. A raw and primitive grief overwhelmed me. My fingers shook as I held his face. It was cold... Like the face of a dead corpse would feel. He spurted blood out of his mouth and a haywire occurred in my system. Even then there was a smirk on his face. "You still care for me, Jade." The corners of his mouth quivered before he passed out on a gasp. I felt my heart plummeting in my stomach. I screamed as loudly as I could and within minutes the school's staff
130. Jade knows the truth Jade's POV My eyes lingered on the date carved on the headstone. The date of her death. It was the same when I concluded that Zach cheated on me and decided to take the matters of my mother's death's revenge in my own hands.I can't forget that date. It's etched in my mind.I blinked my eyes and averted my eyes towards Alpha Zavier's face, "This is... Gianna... She is dead? But Zach... His mate. And Lelah," My mind was blacking out. I rubbed a trembling hand on my face, "Lelah is not his daughter?" A painful smile danced on his shaking lips. He slowly shook his head left and right, "Lelah is Gianna and her husband Richie's daughter. He's resting over there." I fearfully followed the direction of his pointing finger. My breathing fractured as I laid my eyes on the grave next to Gianna's. The headstone has the name, Richard Donovan, and the epitaph below it read: An obedient son, loving husband, a devoted father. "Gianna already had a family before she me
129. Meeting Gianna I didn't sleep the whole night for two reasons. One I didn't want to get into that bed again. I was afraid Zach might sneak into my room to touch me. Second because my stomach was growling and I didn't have the guts to go out and grab some food from the kitchen.It's not like I was not offered any food. Zach came in with a trolley full of food I would have loved to dig in. Then Katie too came to visit me followed by Jenna. Chris and Vicky didn't stay behind in the line as they came to see me with chocolates and junk food that I politely refused as I asked some privacy of my own. While they were happy to see me, I was not even one bit happy about any of this. I sat by the window doing nothing but stare at the dark sky. Although I think I saw Zach smoke back to back cigarettes while he was standing out in the open and discussing something with his father, he could die for all I cared. It was his lungs and if he wanted to spoil them by puffing ten cigarettes in one
128. Jade wants to leave?! Jade's POV I didn't know when I fell asleep. But when I woke up again, I had Zach lying next to me and his fingers playing with my hair. I flinched away from him and got out of the bed. "What are you doing here?" My gaze fell on the sky outside the window. "I was waiting for you to wake up. You didn't come to lunch, dad. It's dinner time now." It was pitch black. I didn't realize I didn't wake up for hours. Zade wasn't in the room either. Panic began to rise up within me for not having him around. "He's with Lelah in their room." Zach said. Their room? As if he read my thoughts, he got up and closed the gap between and added, "They've decided to share a room together and Nathan modified it within a few hours as per their requirements." I moved a few steps away so he couldn't lay his hands on me. Sweeping a gaze around the room, I realized the clothes were gone too. "I took care of your closet." Zach walked towards it and slid the door aside
127. Zade's time in the mansion Jade's POV"Welcome back to your room again, Jade." Ice spread through me as I gawked at the interior of the room that used to be mine when I lived here.It was in the same condition. Nothing changed. From the hangings I used to decorate the room to the curtains of my choice, they were still intact."You must be surprised seeing everything as it is." He removed the curtains from the huge window. "Zach never let anyone change anything in your room. He would clean it with his own hands except for today." I preferred to stay quiet and took baby steps towards the bed. The first thing I reminisced while looking at it was our time we spent naked in bed. Seeing the white sheets lay clean and tidy on the mattress made my heart swirl. I quickly averted my gaze and tried to cover those thoughts with something else. "I would like to be alone please." I didn't even try to look at Nathan. "Please, bring Zade back to me whenever Luke is done examining him.""Alrig
