Deven asked Ian if there was any news from their contacts.Ian responded, "It's not the right time to reach out. They're most likely staying hidden and it would be too dangerous to try contacting them."Amora asked, "Has the vehicle been secured?"Ian stated that there was a van parked approximately one mile from their current location which could be utilized for a rapid escape if necessary.Deven expressed positive satisfaction with the statement "Good. We will require it." He then turned to Amora and inquired about their current inventory, saying "Amora, what is our supply situation?"According to Amora, we have enough supplies for a week or possibly more if we conserve them wisely.Deven proposed, "Okay, we need to ensure that everything is sorted out and prepared for a sudden relocation.""Ian brought up the topic of relocating and suggested that we talk about our next secure location, which is roughly a two-day trek from where we currently are.""Is it safe?" asked Amora."I woul
Lyra’s POV:I tapped lightly on Thalia’s door before I stepped in.From where I stood, I saw Thalia seated on a stool before her dressing table, staring keenly at the mirror.“Your mother has arrived.” I announced, but she showed no reaction.“Can you hear me? Milady. Your mother, Queen Aria is here.” I said again.“Why is she here?” She asked.“Lady Blackstorm invited her.” I replied. “She may be the Lady’s guest but she still remains your mother. You must welcome her.”“Just leave, please.” She pleaded. “You are killing yourself, Thalia. Xander will return, trust me.” I assured her.Suddenly, she turned around to face me, her eyes were red from crying too hard and underneath her eyelids were black from lack of sleep.“Why are you so sure?” She asked.“I am not sure, I am just being hopeful.” I replied.“You have no idea how I feel right now, the man I spent my whole life training to be perfect for has gone missing. And you stand there telling me about hope.” She ranted.“I underst
Amora's Point Of ViewIt takes a second to ruin someone's life and happiness. It was just unbelievable how one moment I was tremendously happy, living my fullest and smiling endlessly, then the next seconds, that happiness was snatched from my hands and I was left in the deep darkness of sadness with a pool of unending tears and wailing.I stood looking back at the house where my happiness had just been taken away from me and I couldn't control the endless tears streaming down my eyes."Mom, where did you put the board? I can't find it," I shouted to her as I searched the storage."Mom!" I yelled for her again as I didn't get a response the first time. I turned my ears towards their direction but nothing was coming forth. What the heck is going on?"Don't come out of the storage," I heard my mom say across my mind."What?" I questioned her."I am coming, just stay put," she added. Now, I was super confused, I sniffed the air but noticed that the blocking powder had been blown. We only
Deven's Point Of ViewDistance noise kept making me uncomfortable in my bed as I kept tossing around. Why can't I have a peaceful sleep for once? I tried blocking out the noise from me so I can sleep but I haven't perfected my i-sensys, so I wasn't getting the technique.I will definitely disturb mom once I am fully awake to teach me how to block sounds and noise from myself so I can have what I want.I will definitely try to be more attentive when learning because I can definitely see that I need it. But now, the noise was becoming unusual and I was forced to get up from my sleeping conscious state."You can't go out," Julius said to me."Why?" I questioned him."It's dangerous! Your mom's kind are here!" He explained."Werewolves?" I asked, super excited. This was my moment to see other werewolves, and still mom refused to take me to her colony, I can see them here."Yes!" He replied simply."Then I need to go," I said to Julius."You can't go, like I said it's dangerous. Your mum's
Amora's Point Of View"Mom!" I kept yelling repeatedly."Hey!" Someone kept shaking me till I was fully conscious of my surroundings and who was holding me."Hey! It's me, you are safe! You are safe! He can't get you here, they can't," she said as she pulled me up from the bed and pulled me into a hug. Holding me tightly to her chest."It's fine, baby girl! You have me and I am here for you like always," she said consoling me. "You can cry all you want but I am here," she added. As I continued sobbing into her shoulder."He smirked harder than before," I said to her amidst my tears."Her face was fully black from the burnt," I added."He couldn't lift a finger after what was done to him," I continued ranting and sobbing."Why can't I get over it? It was more vivid like it happened two days ago," I said to her."It's okay, it is fine. This is the norm, you will only be shaken but you will be fine, like always, you know?" She said, patting me on the back."They don't look fine," I said
Amora's Point Of View"Table five! Then table six Amy, you are needed at table five opposite table eight. Move it, today is crowded. No sluggishness, please!" The supervisor in charge yelled at me.Can't I pee in peace again? This is the most stressful job I have ever come across on this app. Like what the heck is going on around here? Look how crowded it is, everyone is busy! 'Amy this''Amy that''Amy, table one!' 'Amy table four' when will Amy rest? Just when? I have been up since morning and I can't even take a pee in peace! If Amy can't rest, definitely Amora won't either.The description of this job didn't indicate that I will be moving up and down throughout my stay, all I simply thought was I would be staying behind a counter not walking around tables. I walked up to table five where a young lady I guess she's still a teenager. The dress hugged her body so tightly and I could see some discomfort on her face and more when the elderly man seated beside her wouldn't keep his h
Deven's Point Of View "I am so going to kill her! Oh my goodness! What am I going to do?" I screamed as I walked out of the bathroom for the umpteenth time."Urgh!" I groaned as I laid flat on my face on my bed."What the heck did she give me?" I questioned myself against my bed."Was I poisoned? She dare not!" I yelled as I got up immediately in shock. "What if she really poisoned me? What if she was sent by my rivals?" I said perambulating. "No!!!" I yelled."Sir! Is everything okay?" Someone asked me amidst my stress. I don't need this now."Who is that?" I struggled to ask as I turned to face whoever it was."Sir, Felix!" He answered."Ohh… you… how can… can I help you?" I groaned as I walked back to the bed."I heard you scream so I came to check upon you, sir! Is all well?" He asked fidgeting on his spot. What's wrong with him?"Are you the new guy?" I asked as I held my stomach, the movement was terrible.The loud low dull continuous noise and turning in every direction prod
Amora's Point Of View"How was work yesterday?" Gianna shouted immediately as she barged into my room."Hectic! Chaos! Chaotic! Illegal!" I mentioned as I mindlessly scroll through my phone."Wow! Give me a detailed gist of what happened!" She requested as she jumped on my neatly made bed."Ouch!" I cried out."What is that?" She asked. Doesn't she know what she just did?"Are you asking me that? Didn't you feel your foot hitting something?" I asked her, as I rubbed my thumb against my big toe."No! I don't… I didn't," she replied feigning innocence."Stop being a terrible liar!" I yelled at her. "You used your hardened foot to hit my tender big toe!" I explained, staring at her in the eyes and just as I expected, she started laughing."Who does that?" I complained, "aren't you supposed to apologize to me for being uncultured? Who jumps on someone else's bed when the person is seated in the middle, leg criss crossed? Like who does that?" I complained, she is just too mannerless and un

Deven’s Point of View “Mate…?” I let out impulsively as I was trying to understand what had just happened to me... I was dripping wet, alright, but then, the ravishing scent that I had perceived had me rooted to the spot. I stared at her in disbelief as I was wondering what exactly it was that had been masking her scent all that time. Whatever it was seemed to have been washed away by the water that had and was still gushing out on us at that point. “Mate…?” she let out in like manner as we were both lost in each other’s eyes at that point. It seemed like I was about to lose my mind completely as I was staring at my mate. My masking cologne had also been washed off by the eater. At that point, I felt like finding the driver of that car and giving them such a spanking for being so stupid. But then, I wouldn’t have known that the person I had been trying to catch all night was actually my mate. “How could this be…?” I muttered under my breath as I noticed that she was shivering all
Deven's Point of View “Don't just stand there! Go after her!” I let out to the men who were still standing and looking like they hadn't seen a crazy lady before. They all took off while I followed the chase from behind. “Sir… please what's going on? I thought we were here for Marcus…” Jordan said with confusion as he followed me from behind. “We'll be back for Marcus. But for now I want to deal with this wretch…” I said angrily as he was struggling to keep up with my pace. In a few moments, we were outside the place and on the trails of the men who were in pursuit. “But who's she?” Jordan asked as he was applying maximum energy to keep in pace with me. “She's the reason why my whole day went south…” I said, recalling the pain she had made me through because of an awkwardly mixed drink. “She had probably slipped something into my drink which made me purge all morning…” “Oh no…” he said as he was soon speeding past me to catch up with the other men ahead. “We're going to get her th
Amora’s Point of View “Where is he?” The silver haired guy was soon walking into the place looking like he was about to burn it all down. “Mr. Deven… how may we help you, sir…?” the manager went running helplessly to him like he was his hired servant. It was so hard to watch as I was seeing the man who had been bossing me around while he was about to be bossed around. It was hard to watch but that made it even more worthy of watching as it was quite amazing just how the chain of command was. “Mr. Simpson… not Deven. I don't know how many times I need to correct that before you get it.” Deven was flaring up real bad and was looking like he could unload on anyone who would dare come close to him. “I’m sorry about that, Mr. Simpson…” the way the manager was so determined to calm him down made me wonder who exactly that Deven guy was. “What could I help you with?” “I'm looking for Marcus…” the arrogance in his tone kept escalating with every single passing moment. “Marcus…?” The man
Gianna’s Point of View Though I hated to admit it, I felt about freer with Ian when Amy had been dropped off at the Vons place. I felt a bit selfish but then I felt a bit relieved at the same time as I had all the freedom that I needed to have with Ian. “You seem a bit relaxed than you were a few minutes ago…” Ian had caught me in broad daylight as he smiled while steering the car slowly. “How’s your leg now?” “It's much better than it was back then. For a couple of moments, I thought I had seen my life flashing past me.” I was finally free to express what I had been through in the last couple of moments without the fear of being scorned by Amy who seemed to be always on the look out for chances to do just that. “I don't know why I find that funny…” Ian admitted as he chortled heartily. “But then, I'm really sorry that I had to ruin your day with all this…” “It's fine… it's not like you're the one driving…” I said, trying to cut him loose from the guilt that kept beating him over.
Amora’s Point of View There was silence in the car as Ian drove us at a moderate speed. He seemed like he didn't have a single sense of worry or urgency in his being. I had been thinking he had to be a really busy person, seeing just how rich he was. Perhaps there had been some sort of work he could have been in a hurry to get back to. But there seemed to be none as he drove like he was trying to get a really good view of the city. Surprisingly, I had been shoved in the back seat to watch him and Gianna struggle to spark up a conversation. It was quite hard for me to watch two grown ups as they would occasionally throw glances at each other before they would look away again. Like… what in the world was wrong with them? Why couldn't they just open up their mouths to speak? I had been expecting the nice guy to say something at least as he had been acting all audacious and imposing just a few moments ago. But he had suddenly frozen. “This part of town is really beautiful with a who
Deven’s Point of View. “Here we are…” Jordan said nervously as we finally pulled over in front of the place where the meeting had been scheduled to happen. “As late as…” I shut my ears to those words as I just didn’t want to hear anything that would make me feel less of myself. Just a glance at the watch made me realize that I was an hour late. I let out a sigh as I was still holding the pill bottle. “Let’s head out at once…” I said as I was still seething from the rage of having found out that the girl whom Ian was with had actually been the stupid bar girl who had given me the drink which had turned my morning upside down. The thoughts of getting my revenge filled my thoughts more than that of the meeting itself. It was a lot to handle but then, I shook it off at once as I stepped out of the car. The traffic jam had delayed me, but then, I wasn’t going to explain that at all. “Right this way…” Jordan said as he and the two other men walked me to the entrance of the bungalow whic
Deven’s Point of View As annoying as it was, my meeting with that sassy female just didn’t want to leave my head regardless of how hard I had been trying to push the thought of her away. Who the heck is she? I wondered in annoyance. “Who the heck is she?” I was almost unaware when I had voiced it all out while driving. I had pushed my hand against the seat in front of me, causing the man who was now at the wheels to jilt forward, and involuntarily blaring the horn in everyone’s ears. I could see the displeasure in the eyes of the men in the car with me. But I couldn’t care less as I didn’t owe anyone an explanation for my actions. I just wanted to get that day over with as soon as I could. The morning had been turbulent enough and I just couldn’t wait until the night would fall. “Sir… you’re getting too worked up…” Jordan was quiet the moment I hit him with a cynical glance that made him fidget a little. “Ian is out there settling things with them, you have nothing to worry about.
