“Dad, where is mum?” Tristan asked me the moment I stepped in. He looked at me with so many suspicions in his eyes and I knew right away that he already knows that something had happened to their mum.“Dad, where’s his mum? Why has she not come back since she left to see you?” He asked again by bombarding me with questions.“Yes Dad, she promised to return immediately after talking to you but has not and it’s been hours already.” Trevor chipped in, walking to stop in front of me.“Dad, say something. Where is mummy? Did she go somewhere without us?” Haya asked agitatedly and I could see the tears gathering in her eyes gradually but I knew that my answer to all their inquires about their mother would let those tears fall off her face which would completely break me. I hate to see her cry. I hate to see any of them sad and I know my answer would lead to their sadness.I glanced at her siblings and they also stared at me expectantly waiting for a response from me.However, this is not s
Finally, when things have been properly explained to them, I directed them to their rooms so they could have an early night and made sure to double the security around them before finally contacting my Omega for an update. I was in my office making out calls to all the Alphas in the nearby territory and ordering them to join in the search of my mate when the door leading to my study suddenly opened without warning. I let out a warning growl ready to tear through the bones of the person that dared to come in without permission even before I raise my head to see who it was. “Dad, it’s me” Tristan’s voice flowed in through the opened door. “I let down my guard immediately and looked towards the door. “Tristan, what are you doing here? Why are you not asleep yet?” I asked surprised by his presence. “I could not sleep”, he simply said before going to sit on the couch at the right corner of my study. I stood up from my desk and walk towards him, “Why, son? Is something bothering you
“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
We were about a few miles away from the pinned location of my mate and just arrived at the spot where we planned to ditch the cars and change to our Lycan forms when I received a call from Tristan. At first, seeing his call, I got upset and wondered why he was still awake at such a late hour after sending him off to bed, but on second thought that something serious might have happened to him back in the palace, I immediately picked the call after the first ring. “Why are you still awake? Is anything the problem?” “Dad, are you there? Have you seen mum? Is she with you now?” He ignored my questions and instead bombarded me with questions of his own. “Not yet son, don’t worry we are just a few miles away to where she is. Is that why you are still…” I was saying before he cut me off. “Hurry Dad, I can no longer see her pinned location on the map, it suddenly disappeared. I think something might have happened to her or they discovered the tracker on her.” He hurriedly urges me. It wa
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
On opening my eyes this time around, I was hit by total darkness. It was so dark that when I raised my hands, I could not see them, and the more I realized how completely dark it was, the more fear began creeping in on me. It was not one that I feared the dark but the feeling of the unknown in my current situation had me feeling scared. The unknown of what happened to me, why my body aches from head to toe, of what they did to make me be in such pain, of what might be lurking in the room that I have no awareness of. But most importantly, the unknown of not knowing the identity of those that took me as I could still remember how the guard that took me changed into another person before me. But one thing I was sure of was, they weren’t Dante’s enemies but were one of those that were after me. Hence I needed to get out of here. I need to find a way to escape from here. Though I didn’t know yet who it was that was behind all this, I didn’t want to wait to know because I knew that no m
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 knew I got them with that and continued, “Why should I eat the food given to me by my kidnappers? How sure am I that it is not poisoned?” “No ma’am, it is not poisoned. We would never try to poison you.” One of them turned to reply to my question. “Why should I believe your word for it?” “That’s because you are of importance to our master.” She simply stated before turning around and leaving the room with the other maid. Perplexed at the way the two maids had just treated me, I snickered and walked to the food they placed on the table and saw that they’ve placed various sets of continental dishes on the table like roasted chicken, cream potatoes salad, chicken wings with chili and garlic, buttered potatoes, baked mushrooms and spinach, macaroni cheese, Corn & Cauliflower Soup, Chicken & Cheese Salad, Paneer Steak, Eggy Bread, Batter Fish, Corn & Raw Mango Salad, Barbequed Chicken, French Fries, and Pancakes. At first, when they came into the room I didn’t notice the number of di
