MAX POVI got home that day, my blood boiling. Rose was seriously asking for more than she could take on. It wasn’t like I had wanted to her to get an abortion because I didn’t want to take responsibility for him, as I had stated earlier. If only Rose knew why I had opted for that option. Jason had really got my heart from the first time I met him, and I just couldn’t let that kid go. I felt really tired and worn out, due to everything that had happened today. While I was used to keeping late nights, I didn’t know why I was exceptionally tired today. As a man with many enemies and a billion dollar empire worth of coke and oil, I had many enemies and I couldn’t just go to bed any time I wanted to. A knock came through the door, interrupting my train of thoughts. “Come in.” I said.A man came through the door. He was the one I had put in charge of the investigation concerning the missing kids. “Boss, there had been some illegal activities downtown, and I suspected that the traffick
ROSE POVMax hadn't shown up at my house for a couple of days and I couldn't be happier. After the wild, very wild sex we had the other day, I would do anything to avoid him. To get my mind off Max and his presence, I decided I finally had enough courage to go see my mum. Jason was really happy about seeing his grandmother. I had make her favorite porridge and put in a flask. As I arrived at the hospital, my phone rang. “Hey May. " I said into the phone. “Hey. Where are you? I'm outside your door, and there's no one here." I slapped my palm against my forehead. I had forgotten to inform May that I was coming to the hospital. “I'm so sorry, May. I forgot to tell you I wanted to come see mum today. I'm at the hospital right now. You could come if you want." I offered. “Nah, it's fine. You need time alone with her. I actually need to get back to work. I'll stop by some other time." I ended the call as I walked towards the nurse's desk. “Good afternoon. I'm here to see Sarah
MAX POV“You’re mine.”As I said those words, I could feel the stupid heart of mine do that thing where it started beating faster for no damned reason. Apparently, it seemed like I was the only one feeling that way, because just when I thought I had successfully conveyed how I felt to Rose, she pulled away from me, and once again, did something that was punishable to a slow and painful death by my rules. She slapped me. Hard.Again. I was trying really hard not to grab her by the throat and make her beg for her life. I could feel myself twitch as I squeezed my palm as hard as possible, so my hand won’t react before my brain. “Stay away from me. Stay away from my baby and I. You never really wanted us in the first place, so why now? You lied to me Max!” She was crying and I had no idea why. Women were so darn complicated. That was why I tried staying away from all of them. “You really need to stop slapping me. Rose, can you just be rational for once? I know that I messed up befo
MAX POVHe looked me in the eye, as he stood up from the floor. Zayne moved to restrain him, but I stopped him. I wanted to see what this guy had up his sleeve. Surely, he would slip up and expose himself in some way. I watched him as he walked closer to me and I didn’t move a muscle. “You think you’re so powerful? You think you’re untouchable?” He laughed “She’s will kill you, one day. She’s is going to make you pay. Just wait. This is just the beginning of it all. She’s going to take away everything you love, the same way you took hers away.” The certainty in his voice caught me amongst other things. Who was she? And what the hell had I done to her? Sure I had killed a lot of people, and I obviously hadn’t kept track record of it all. Could this be a revengeful person? “Who’s ‘she’?” I asked him.All he did was smirk, and move backward from me. He backed up against the wall and my sixth sense told me to be alert, so I stood up from the chair, and threw it across the room. “Sh
ROSE POV“Ben is a very wonderful guy. You’re just being mean.” I told May.I was happy that today was May’s day off work and she had called me out so we could hang out. Since Jason left for school, I had been bored to death and her call had come in at the best time. “Rose, don’t talk to me about guys. Speaking of, what about Jason’s dad? Have you tried getting in contact with him?” I realized that I hadn’t let her in on what had been going on. “Yeah, I ran into him, one day at the mall. Actually, Jason got lost, and I was going crazy trying to look for him. Apparently, Max had him and that’s when I saw him. I don’t know how he found out that Jason was his son, but, a few days after, he comes knocking saying he wants Jason. At first, I thought he was just joking, but these days, he shows up at my door, asking for him, saying that has his reasons. He looks very desperate.”“Have you asked him what those reasons are?” “No.” I took a sip of my drink. “I haven’t been bothered to, beca
MAX POVAlpha Damien had been in my office all day, along with his Beta and of course, Zayne. We had been looking at maps, to see how Gray wolves had got into our territories without being spotted. I had made sure that at every point on the borders, there had been guards, to monitor every movement. Even so, we looked at a possible list of enemies. Thankfully, we had been able to narrow it down to females.The confusing thing was, I had never had any encounter with women that would warrant this, so I wondered how this whole thing came back to me. A knock on my door interrupted our conversation. Jerry, the guard I had sent to watch Jason and Rose, came in. “Boss, I have something to report. The boy was kidnapped today, while playing at the park." My ears found it hard to believe it. My son… “What? Then why the fuck are you back here?" I turned to Zayne “Gather the men, now!" “Boss, I got there just in time. I was able to get him back to his mother." Jerry explained.I felt as if c
ROSE POVThe moment Max showed me the picture of my mum and my heart dropped. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was shocked to my bones, but I had to gather myself, so I could get to my mum before Max harmed her. Quickly, I quickly grabbed Jason, who had been mindlessly watching TV on the couch, and dragged him outside. At that moment, a cab was passing, fortunately, and I hailed him. If Max did anything to my mother, I would never forgive Max. I had to leave my mother, whose health declined in that time, because of him.“Mummy, where are we going?" Jason asked me. “We're going to see Mr. Wolf." I remembered the name he gave to Max the other time.“Yay! Mr. Wolf!" He threw his hands in the air, really happy. I didn't like how Max had grown on Jason. It was funny how I still remembered Max's address from the last time I came here, which was three years ago when he had asked me to get rid of my baby. As soon as the car stopped moving, I paid the driver and got down. When I knocked on
MAX POVAs I went through the reports for the shipments that I had shipped in, a couple of things weren't adding up. “Zayne." I called. I didn't bother shouting, because I knew Zayne was always around, somehow. When he came into the office, I threw the papers before him. " What's going on, Zayne? Two carts are missing. I'm very sure they didn't just disappear into thin air, now did they?" “No boss." “Good, so get to looking for them, if you don't want to die." He bowed and walked out of the room.Things hadn't been going well recently. Several of my shipments had been missing, my men were being killed like flies everyday, my family were being threatened, and I had been called to war by an unknown enemy.Just then, a knock came through my door, and that girl that had claimed to be the new cool, came through the door. She carried a tray, and I watched her intently as she walked closer to me.As she tried to drop it on the table, I stopped her. “Don't even think about it. What is
