CHERShe sprayed the long wavy brown hair wig she now wore before looking at her looks in the mirror for the last time. She looked good, better in fact. It was now a month since she left Forester and with each day that passed, forgetting her relationship with the Alpha of the pack seemed impossible.Dabbing her lips with the red lips gloss, she furiously grabbed the key to her power bike and her helmet to go for her new operation that night. This is how she had been surviving living in New York comfortably. Dressing up as a prostitute sometimes to swindle rich politicians, or gearing up to rob the highway and banks. Either way, she was a cleaner in the town library during the day but a robber at night.Slipping her head into the black helmet, she mounted the supersonic 500km/h bike and revved up the engine. She was wearing a body hug black jacket, black gloves, boots, and pants. The typical appearance of a robber, exc
CHERLike a wind, Alex stood up from his seat suddenly, taking a quick glance at the people now scrambling about on the floor with some busy calling the Police with their phones. Although he felt sorry for their loss, he couldn't quit chasing this woman now.He exited through the back of the building and from afar, he could see her starting up the bike. He looked around restlessly and when he couldn't see another bike, he started running. When he was getting tired as he turned to the busy road, he saw a police bike just by the roadside, and before thinking twice, he mounted it, ignited the engine, and tailed behind the black power bike. It is now or never.As he accelerated, with the wind biting his skin, he let different questions roam his head as to why she now looked different. Had she truly regained her memory and so went back to stealing? Had Selena been right about her? What was she doing here?He could s
"Those look good," Selena commented about the woven mat that an old woman presented to her. It melted her heart to see how the people accepted her as their Queen.Since Alex left Forester, it had become her responsibility to check on the people. The aged and the kids. Visiting them with lots of gifts and showering them with caring words. At least, she felt they needed that after the effect of the war. None of them have been able to cross the bridge to the forest to hunt for fear of being attacked.As she dropped the woven mat, she gestured towards one of the maids that followed her to bring in a basket full of freshly hunted meat."This is the least we can do to make you feel better. Don't worry, we will try our best to see that our enemies surrender." She patted the old woman's shoulders and rose to leave."Bless you, Queen Selena."As she moved outside, she thought of where else to go. She j
KREPEIt was not until that evening, a few days after the Hyena's attack on Forester, that Krepe decided to visit a wounded Ethan at the healer's cottage. It was a small cottage at the edge of the town. He'd gone there as a way to ward off his anger and Ethan is his nephew. So, laying him off because he made a mistake would just be stupid. He would meet him to devise a new plan that will be better than before. He could remember that night, as Ethan staggered into the room, his coat filled with blood, barely holding on to life. He'd sent for the healers immediately, part of him boiling with anger that his well-put plan had failed.He entered the room and saw his shirtless nephew sitting on the bed, still looking sick but better than before."I'd been waiting for you." He started to say. "The King won't mind having drinks with him at his place to celebrate our wins." Krepe laughed. "I'm sure the only liqui
The sun rose high in the sky as it is a Monday morning. Checking his wristwatch, Alex saw it was 7:00am. He wondered what kind of work Cher must be doing to have warranted her waking up so early but then he had needed someone who knows the way around the city, so he has no choice but to adapt to it.He pressed the doorbell to the moderately classed building that sat in the middle of a well-to-do street and a newly dressed Cher opened it, inviting him in. He looked around with a grimace. "Nicely painted walls, no cracks in the paint, a decent car worth thousands of dollars, and a nice interior design. To min for a decent job in this part of the world.""Oh, darn." She muttered, following his eyes to the black bag that contained jewelries. The ones she stole at the hotel. "I'll bet I was so stupid enough to clear this place. The police could have walked in and seen this.""Well, I hear New York prison is a good place to be
It's been three hours since Alex got here and he got himself busy with a book on the creation of demons. For a while, he hoped there would be any mention of him in any chapter or how he was created but it seemed the mind of writers over here worked differently. How could they ever think in that direction?He had gotten to the eight hundredth page where a certain man just saw a demon for the first time and his reaction was a little too dramatic compared to how he did when Bagdana had first showed up. He was too engrossed in the book, he didn't know an old woman had been watching him from across the room."For the first time, I'm seeing someone really enjoying my cousin's book." She told him."It's indeed quite enjoyable, I must confess." He dropped the book and smiled at the woman. "You know the style which she used to describe the demons and their habitat is quite discerning for an ordinary writer. I must commend her for
Walking through the royal kitchen and listing orders for dinner made her feel better about herself. It's been a week since the attack on Forester but since then, it's been all calm and tranquility. She could let her mind off the war for a while and heal her mental health by diving into other activities that a Queen is expected to do.The maids were all busy cutting vegetables and beef while she rummaged through the ingredients. Her heart swelled as she remembered she had invited her father for dinner and she must do well to impress him with these delicacies.When she was done, she left the kitchen for her room, dressing up and getting ready to meet her father who was now announced to have arrived."Selena." She looked at the entrance and saw Bagdana who stood tall, his face worrisome."Be careful.""What? What do you mean?""What I'm saying is, your father, be careful arou
Selena gasped as she continuously pinched herself to confirm if she was dreaming but she wasn't. Yet, this monster from her nightmare is standing right in front of her in flesh and blood, although not literally as he looks nothing like what has flesh and blood. It looked somewhat like a demon."Hello, Selena." It grumbled and although her heart skipped a beat, she remembered Alex had kept the Kingdom in her hands, and therefore, protecting it was now left to her.Rising from the bed, she stared at this monstrous-looking demon."Who are you?" She asked the monster which let out a deep breath, releasing a huge patch of smoke from its nostrils."I am the King of darkness, of destruction, and of death. I am the ruler of hell, an eternal torturer and my name is Sathanas." His deep voice rumbled and she wondered how the guards in the corridor didn't hear it."Sathanas? What are you doi
