Jace Everyone was acting strange. I could not understand why it was being so weird around me.I had decided to stay back when Jacob had come and asked me to join them to see Peter play. Even though I wanted to go, I reminded myself that I was here to work and I should not be seen slacking off my duties.I also recalled how Peter detested me and he probably would not want me at his games. If he happens to lose, he might just blame me for showing up there. Hence, I vehemently declined the offer to show up.I followed them downstairs and just as they were beginning to leave, Garrett pulled up beside me and waved me over. I went to him nervously. I would say of all the brothers, he had me in a knotted stomach point more than the rest."Sir?" I muttered as I approached him."Are you really sure you want to stay back?" He asked me."Yes, Sir. I have a lot of things to do." I responded politely."You know you could come with me, I'll speak to Harold or better yet, I'll assist you when I ret
Garrett No idea why I did it but I took off my shirt and went to his room. I listened for a moment and then knocked. This dude was definitely timid and shy because I could hear him muttering about his shirt and I knew he was topless.Nothing too fancy but I waited for a while before he finally opened it. The moment I said I wanted to stay in his room a little, he was stunned by his marrows obviously not expecting that. He stood aside and I went into his bedroom to climb onto his bed. Gosh, I have missed this bed.'We both have.' My wolf concurred with me.I looked and noticed that Jace was not coming to bed or moving at all as he stood there by the door after closing it. I decided that I would put him at ease and asked what he was going to do. He mentioned he had originally wanted to take his bath and I urged him to proceed with his arrangements and act like I was not even present.Not saying anything else, I faced the ceiling as I waited for him to start moving. The guy was too stun
JaceGarrett was really something. His last question still had me amused as I recalled him asking if I was wet.I mean, what grown man without a disease did? But then I was glad he wanted me to lay with him on the bed. I actually was really scared about doing so earlier as I did not want to provoke him. He had asked me to treat myself as one of the occupants and I could decide what I wanted with my bedroom and who I wanted inside but I most certainly could not find the courage to ask him out of the room.Eventually, I climbed the bed and moved to the other edge even though all I desired was to go there where he laid and have him hold me.I was ashamed of myself. How could I be thinking of such things when I knew deep within my heart that it was really wrong to do so. What was actually wrong with me? Was this how damaged I had become that I would think that a straight man would want to hold me?But a part of me questioned him as well. Why would he keep showing up shirtless in my room
Jace's Pov The evening was gloomy. As it usually was whenever I came to my Therapist's, Diddy Powell. A thirty eight years old man with remarkable track records in his line of work as a certified cognitive behavioral therapist.The office smelled the same way I remembered it to— Lemons and coffee—a strange combo. “Good to see you again today, Jace. Was worried you might not show up one day,” he said as he came to take his seat.I shrugged. This was demanded for my independence. There was no way I could miss my therapy session.“I said I'd be dedicated to my therapy. And I'm doing that. No matter what.”He grinned—No matter what.“I'm impressed.”“We could get on now, if you don't mind.” I said, not willing to give him room for anything that I wasn't ready to be confronted with. His eyes were shifty as they always were. ‘ Don't try to touch me today, Diddy.’ I pleaded in my head“Come on, Jace. This is my workplace… I'm the professional here and you'd know when I say it is time,”
Jace's POVI stared at the business card Harold left on the table, contemplating on what to do, minutes after he had walked out of the bar.I had two options; to pretend like I never met this man and try to continue with my life, knowing that he was not going to give me out to the authorities, at least since he knew my situation.The next option was to pick up the card and decide on what to do later. Probably when things got rougher.“Jay?”I heard my boss call suddenly. He had come in from the back. I grabbed the card and put it in my apron.“I'll be right there sir!” I responded. “Some folks from downtown will be coming in their numbers later today. They're peeps I knew from way back.”He said as I approached with the half drunk glass of wine and the bottle. “That's goodnews. That means a lot of sales this evening,” I said, forcing a wary smile on my face. He took one look at the items on the tray and looked away, busying himself by rearranging the glasses beneath the counter.“
Jace's POVAs he'd said, before the time to open the bar, Harold was already outside the bar. He came dressed in a blue elegant tuxedo. He came in a Bentley and I stared at it long before he spoke the first words. “Jace. I see you're doing good this morning,” he said. I nodded. I had not gotten around to texting my boss about my sudden decision to leave the bar and go to a place with the promise of a better pay and a place to lay my head every night. But now, I didn't think there was time to do that anymore. “Good morning, Mr. Harold,” I said. He nodded. He had a smirk on his face. “The bar is going to be open soon, I wouldn't want my boss to find me just standing here. If you don't mind sir, I'll just open up and wait the next one hour until he shows up then I can leave with too.”By the time I was done talking, he was frowning. He shook his head in disapproval and then took hold of my hand. Pulling away would have been a sign that I wasn't comfortable with him so I held still.
Jace's POVI stood transfixed to the threshold. My mouth had fallen open and I was either too shocked to move or entirely numb. Inside was a man who looked exactly like the other three outside. He was just as tall, brawn and handsome. But he was stark naked and fully oiled.His cock was erect and he was rubbing his hands together. The man looked like he was on the verge of pleasuring himself.I should have been disgusted. But I didn't feel anything until he turned sharply and spoke, knocking the baby oil off the shelf as he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist “Why in the bloody fucking hell are you gaping at me?” he asked. “And how did you come here of all the places in this house?”I felt my ears go red from the sheer embarrassment of the entire scenario. “I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have opened without knocking,” I apologized. Would I ever be able to forget what I had just seen?That big dick, oiled and erect.Would the memory ever leave my head? I doubted it. “Wha
Harold "You know the drill, it has to be someone with no knowledge about us, their heritage and void of any scandals. Someone who can go missing and no one would really ask questions." Alpha Ethan had said to me as I told him that we needed a house manager.The previous one, though human, had been an old woman but then she started to lose her mind from age. Luma had been with the boys from their toddler stage up until now but sadly last week, she had passed on.She had been buried secretly yet respectfully and now, without any house manager, they had made a nuisance of the homestead. I had to approach the Alpha with the talk yet again that we needed to get a replacement as soon as possible."Just grant me permission to go scout for the right person and I promise, I shall fetch someone suitable." I promised him."Oh, Harold. I know you would do exceptionally well but do not forget these boys are in their prime. Their display of youthful exuberance alongside mischief is no news to you.

Garrett Damon was beginning to reason differently. I would never have believed that a day would actually come when I would hear this brother of mind make some sense and it is not about women's butts.He seemed different since he heard about the bounty hunters. It was almost like he had been waiting for an opportunity to get on their case and now it presented itself, he was definitely not letting go. Something had snapped within him as soon as he heard about them and I needed this part of him staying put than his lavish lifestyle."I never knew a day would come when I would agree with Damon but he has a point. Why now?" I asked."Maybe they are more confident now they have the device or it led them here. For all I know, they might have chased a werewolf here." Peter said."That's not possible. This device cannot capture something too far away. It's within a certain radius and if you ask me, something lured them here." I said."Or someone." Jacob said."Guys, what if someone they captu
Damon Now this was totally unacceptable. How on earth were there bounty hunters running wild in our city at this time? It did not feel right and this put me in a solemn mood as we headed back home.The moment we were locked upstairs, I had myself nearly hysterical with questions. I mean, Garrett had to fix the damned device those bastards left and then, we would determine just how deadly it was. However, I felt within me, so much hate and anger at the fact they had taken one of us away.This was bad. Those bounty hunters were merely humans themselves with heightened gadgets who felt the world was their oyster. But not to me. I was going to be their biggest nightmare. All my life, I detested every tale about them and sought for an opportunity to put a permanent end to them all.Everyone waited and then, finally, we got the bad news. The device could actually spot werewolves and this meant the pack would not be safe for long. All they needed to do was begin to scan areas and see where
Garrett We all went into the library and Jacob being the last shut the door securely."What's with you and the house manager?" Peter demanded.I was angry at his mannerism towards Jace."His name is Jace." I corrected him."Whatever. Can you fix this?" He asked me as he placed the device on the table.I was so tempted to respond to his first attitude but we had more pressing matters at hand. Besides, I would not encourage him getting closer to Jace without my knowledge. I had to keep everyone away from the boy and detested that Jacob was being too nice to him.Yes, I might have myself some doubts but I did cherish him so much that it was becoming harder to conceal.I grabbed a seat closer and sat down as I inspected the device. My brothers hovered around and once it became boring, they all went and found things to distract them.Jacob was seated at a corner going through a book he pulled out.Peter was hovering around and Damon, he was on his phone.I twinkled around as it was hard f
Jacob I had the inclination that it would be really great if I could get my brothers to go cheer Peter up at his game. I mean, we were the fantastic four after all and if one of us was winning, it was definitely all of us.I asked Jace if he wanted to tag along but the young man was insistent that he would much rather stick to his job as there was a lot on his desk. Hell, I would give anything for him to go with us by making it seem a must would cause me more questioning looks from my brothers who were already staring at me."What? The poor boy probably has never seen a motorbike race before." I said to them,"Whatever. Let's go " Garrett was still in his grumpy mood.We headed to the garage and despite managing to convince Damon to ride with me, Garrett was more or less going to drive himself. I liked to wish that Jace was driving with me but as we started out, I slowed down as I noticed Garrett was speaking to Jace. Before I would have time to eavesdrop, he sped up and was already
Peter I managed to get my head out of my ass and focus on the race. Eventually, I emerged victorious for the first round. I kept looking around and realised that there was no sign whatsoever of Jace in this place. Perhaps, it was just a figment of my imagination.I decided to go wait out for my final race in the car as I needed to keep a clear mind. I got to the car in the garage and shut the door after me. Leaning the seat backwards, I put on the headset with me as all I desired right now was some moments to clear everything out.Jace was really messing with my mind and I could not figure out the best way to push him out of my mind. It would seem that the more I tried hard to forget him, the harder it was for me to focus.I was playing my songs for some time when my phone started ringing. It was Damon calling me and I quickly sat up to answer."Yo." I hailed him."We saw you win." He said.I noticed that in the background, he seemed to be in a car."Are you driving?" I asked him."N
Harold I had to leave the house this morning as there were really urgent matters needing my attention. The Alpha demanded that I report to the pack house as there might be new rules."Another one went missing." I heard him say as I entered.The Beta was present as well and the Luna. I was worried because there was this look on the face of the alpha that told me everything was definitely not okay."My Alpha." I greeted him respectfully."Harold. Please sit." He said to me and I went over to sit where he gestured.I was rarely asked to sit down unless there was a very serious matter of urgency on ground. I could tell everything was not okay but turned to the Luna."My Luna." I greeted with a bow aimed her way."Harold." She acknowledged me."Beta Raphael." I greeted as well."Old Harold, it's been a while." He said to me,I smiled. There was this understanding I had with the beta. We were just chill."Where are the boys, Harold?" Alpha Ethan asked me.I was confused right now as I look
