Once A Friend, Always A FriendHayley's POVWhen the door finally opened, it displayed a face none other than the apartment owners.But she looked tired, her eyes red-rimmed as if she'd been crying. For a moment, we just stared at each other, as if we were seeing each other for the first time. Roman also stiffened wordlessly beside me."Hayley?" Jane's voice was barely above a whisper, disbelief coloring her tone. "What are you doing here?" She demanded.I swallowed hard, fighting back the lump in my throat. "I... I came to talk," I managed to say, holding up the bag of peace offerings. "To try and understand. To see if we can fix this." I told her.Jane's eyes flicked from me to Roman, then to the treats in my hand. I saw a flicker of something – regret? Fear? – cross her face before she stepped back, opening the door wider."Okay better make it quick," she said, her voice carefully neutral.As we crossed the threshold into Jane's apartment, I felt like I was stepping into the past a

Rekindling FriendshipHayley's POVThe sitting room grew darker signalling nightfall. And the colorful glow from the television screen shone across the room, which casted dancing shadows on the walls and our faces too.I sank deeper into Jane's plush couch, while the familiar scent of her apartment wrapped around me like a warm blanket.The familiar comfort of a movie night together eased away the tension of the past few months.As the end credits of our second film rolled on the screen, bringing us to the end of the movie, Jane stretched and yawned."I think we need a caffeine boost," she said with a grin. "Let me go put on some coffee." She said jumping up."Coffee sounds perfect," I said, offering a smile of my own.I was grateful for the break. As Jane disappeared into the kitchen, I let out a long breath, my hand unconsciously moving to rest on my swollen belly.The baby gave a little kick, as if reminding me of its presence. A small smile tugged at my lips."Alright, alright," I

Chapter 113

Unfinished Business in San Francisco Roman's POV I leaned back in my chair with a cool glass of whiskey in my hand. Its coolness was a stark opposite to the heated atmosphere of the casino. The air was thick with the scent of desperation and greed which was a strong reason that reminded me of why I despised these places. But I wasn't here for pleasure. No, I was here to settle an old business. How did I even get here, you say? Well here's how. After leaving Hayley at her friend's house, I had nowhere to go, but as I stopped by the road to stop a cab, preventing all eyes on me, an idea stunk me San Francisco was a place I came once on a business trip with Caspian several months ago. That was when we had a night party and met Katherine, Rose, my mate. The party was mainly to lure a man we had been searching for. It was reported that he normally attended parties that were secure house parties and not at public nightclubs for his safety. The man, Sylvester, was a gambler who chea

Chapter 114

The Gambler's GambitRoman's POVAs I continued to sit in the dimly lit corner of the casino, my eyes never left the gambler's table where Sylvester sat. As if he'd disappear if I blinked my eye even for a second.I took another sip from my drink and wondered when to make my move. Sylvester was not leaving the table at any moment and the game looked like it'll never end, which grated on my nerves.Abruptly, my thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of a woman in a dress that left little to the imagination. She slid onto the sofa next to me, with her perfume as overwhelming as her presence."Can I have a drink with you, handsome?" she purred, leaning in close. "You shouldn't be sitting here alone all by yourself." She added, with her voice dripping with false sweetness.I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. This was the last thing I needed right now. "I'm fine on my own," I replied, keeping my voice neutral, but hoping she'd take the hint and leave.But she was persistent, like a mos

A Bad News Amidst PeaceHayley's POVI woke up around 3am to the urgency to pee. I found out the TV was still on while I fell asleep, nestled on the couch near Jane who was fast asleep too, like old times when we used to fall asleep as we watched a movie. The sight of her fast asleep on the couch brought back those memories.Carefully, I extracted myself from the couch and staggered to the bathroom with sleepy eyes, with my swollen belly which was a constant reminder of the life growing within me.After relieving myself, I splashed some cool water on my face and stared at my reflection in the mirror before going back to the living room.After I sat back on the couch, my thoughts drifted to Roman. Was he sleeping peacefully, or did he toss and turn without me by his side? The urge to call him, to hear his voice, was almost overwhelming.But I knew he needed his rest. With a sigh, I turned off the TV and stretched on the couch, in a way to have a proper rest now."Sleep well, little one

Out For Blood Roman's POV Everything was halfway done now that I have this fucker's location, Sylvester. The evening sky grew dark outside as I prepared to confront Sylvester. My patience had finally paid off, since I found his hidden location patiently at the casino. "Patience pays off after all," I muttered to myself, "but now it's time for action." I smirked smugly in anticipation. I gazed out the glass window, watching the bustling city below. One thing he didn't know was that I have hidden men and spies everywhere, and they were always a call away. I didn't want to involve them in a small case like Sylvester's before. But it was beginning to grate on my nerves and I better be done with him. "He may think he's well-guarded," I growled softly, "but he's never seen an army like mine." I mused, with a grim smile tugging at my lips. My army of shapeshifters were already on their way to my hotel lodge here in San Francisco. They were bloodthirsty beasts who'd do anything for t

: A Daughter's SacrificeHayley's POVAfter Roman left and my decision was made, I felt my heart heavy in my chest, it was weighing me down heavier than my protruding stomach.After my attempt to heal Victor in the past and all the aftermath that followed, I swore not to heal anyone again. But now that my mom was on the verge of death, I felt I had no other option.I had been debating it all evening so when Roman finally checked in, I felt the need to talk to him about it instantly without a second thought. I was glad he had approved.My father was slumped in an uncomfortable plastic chair beside me, his old face troubled with worry that seemed to have gotten worse today."Father," I said softly, touching his shoulder. He startled awake, blinking up at me with bloodshot eyes. "Why don't you go home and rest? I can stay with Mom tonight. You look like you need more rest." I told him.He shook his head stubbornly, reminding me so much of myself that I had to bite back a smile."You don'

Healed Hearts and Shared Love Hayley's POV Soon, the door creaked open, and Dr. Sofia entered, with a warm smile on her face. "I've made the arrangements. You're finally ready for the short trip." She announced. I felt glad. "Oh wonderful!" I gasped. She nodded. "Five minutes with your mother. But don't overdo it, okay?" She warned Roman, who was still by my side since I'd woken up, squeezed my hand. "I'll make sure she behaves, Doctor." He winked. I rolled my eyes at him, but couldn't keep the grin off my face. "Let's go see Mom." I said. As the nurse removed my cannula, I felt a rush of excitement bubble up inside me. Roman had sensed my happiness and he leaned in close as he helped me into the wheelchair. "She's going to be overjoyed to see you too." I nodded like a child being taken out to a fun fair. "Oh I can't wait." I breathed. The short journey to Mom's room felt like it took forever and no time at all. As Roman pushed me through the door, I held my breath. And the

Chapter 119

Journey back to New York Hayley's POV We woke up early with a new determination today. As we made our way to the airport, saying goodbye to the city of my loved ones, I watched the city as if for the last time. And my heart felt heavy, a bittersweet ache settling in my chest as we finally boarded the private jet, I didn't know when I'll come back again. Probably after my childbirth or our wedding. As the plane took off, I sighed, watching San Francisco shrink beneath us, the Golden Gate Bridge looking like a child's toy from this height. I couldn't help but think about the battles we were flying towards. It felt like we were caught in a never-ending storm, momentarily passing through one and diving into another. I turned to face Roman, with slight worry across my face, remembering his family's drama. "I was just wondering about how we're jumping from one storm to another," I sighed. "It's like we're actual storm chasers, you know?" I told him. Roman's brow furrowed, concern et

More Storms Ahead Hayley's POV As we drove home from the airport, I decided to let my family in San Francisco know that we touched down. This time around, I was going to make it right and not forget about them. I fumbled for my phone, and immediately I brought it out, my fingers danced across the screen as I dialed my mom's number. The familiar ring echoed in my ear, each tone a heartbeat until her sweet voice filled my ear. "Hayley?" She said, with warmth and comfort in her tone. "Hey, Mom," I said, unable to keep the smile from my voice. "Just wanted to let you know we landed safely." I informed her. "Oh, thank goodness," she sighed. "I've been watching the clock like a hawk. How was the flight?" She asked immediately. "Smooth as silk," I assured her. "How are you feeling? How's dad too?" I inquired. And she didn't wait for a second, before she began explaining. "Oh he's fine dear and I'm feeling better every day, sweetheart. Even my group of old folks were wondering... It's
