“W…what do you mean?” I asked perplexed and at the same time not able to take his words seriously. I mean what does a six-year-old kid know? Though h might be more mature than his age, his claim of locating his mother within a few minutes of knowing about her disappearance was not something I know he was capable of. “Dad, I believe you are still of sound mind and in total control of your Lycan to understand what I just said. I don’t need to repeat myself right?” He cut rudely through my thoughts. “Young man would advise you to watch your words…” I cautioned and was about to dismiss him back to his room when he cut me off. “I’m sorry Dad, I didn’t mean to be rude. I know you are under a lot of tension with Mother’s disappearance but I’m being serious and saying the truth here. I know where Mother is and the more time we waste here, the chances of losing her location become bigger” He quickly apologized and urges me. I stared at him for a while before deciding to hear him out. What

LorelWaking up for the second time after I was taken, the first thing I felt was the excruciating pain that was cursing through my body making me winch out in protest before opening my eyes.I could guess why my body aches a lot but I didn’t want to dwell on it because memories of what had happened in the past few hours would rush back and right now, I didn’t want to dwell on them.Notwithstanding, the events flooded my thoughts before I could stop it, if that was even possible, stopping it I mean.The first thing that flashed through my head was waking up in an unknown place with my hands tied behind me hence limiting my freedom to move as I wanted to, and panic hit me, and wondered what was going on.[Where am I? Why are my hands tied?]All I could last remember was being escorted to Dante’s study by my guards because he wanted to see me but before we got to his study, the guard that came to inform me had suddenly attacked the remaining guards and rendered me unconscious.Then I fi

Snickering, I looked him straight in the eyes, “And I will say it again even though you think otherwise, I am not yours. I’m not a possession or property that you think that you can just come from nowhere to claim and take away.”“Well too bad you think like that I’m not going to continue this argument with you.” He waved his hand dismissively at me before taking slow steps toward me.“Bringing us to the reason why you are here, if I’m not wrong, you already know just from seeing me.”“I… I don’t know what you are talking about. Why am I here?” Of course, I did, but I chose to pretend not to know.He looked at me suspiciously before saying, “Is that so? Or you are just pretending not to know but seeing as you are close to the Lycan and how you went into hiding after our meeting, I cannot help but think that you do. Well, it doesn’t matter if you are or not I will let you in on it.”Fear gripped my heart once more at this, as he reminded me of my association with Dante because if he kn

I carefully crossed the expanse to inspect more and ensure I was alone before rushing to bolt the door and lock it securely with the key twice. They say I’m safe but can waltz into my room anytime they like without any warning at all. I shook my head in irritation and tried to keep from bolting out the door. I walked back silently and shut the door to the shower, all the while thinking of how to get out of this place. Perhaps it was a plan to distract and get me to be comfortable or feel less threatened than I should actually feel in this compromising situation. I could agree that I had never reacted normally to situations such as this but did they think I was going to just jump on the bed set in the room and feel at home? Taken and separated from my children? Thinking about my children had me immediately on my feet and pacing around the large room in anxiety. Were they worried? Were they safe? Were they taken but kept in a separate room? Were they going to use me and my children a

I flinched in defense, subconsciously curling into the men behind me as they warily took position to defend me.“Tch...Tch….That’s no way to greet your brother-in-law, Princess.”My skin curled at the nickname and I couldn’t help but scoff loudly as I slowly untangled my fingers from the front of Darius’s shirt. Trying to ignore the feeling of dread that washed over me as his deep hoarse voice teased my sensitive ears and grated on my nerves.I all of a sudden didn’t understand why I should be scared and timid. Sure they were not human but then, FOR GOD’S SAKE, I didn’t BEG to be in this situation. So if they opted to bring me here, against my will (dare I add), then they could as well comfortably put up with whatever attitude that situation births.I’m adding one thing to my plan right now. And that’s the element of surprise. They will never get their desired reaction out of me anymore, therefore, becoming unpredictable and harder to attack.In the span of 10 seconds- I had restrate
