SashaI was glad that I had kept some savings on me. It had been easy to run away when the master had broken us free from the cage. We had left the party without anyone noticing us and it was from there that I knew my life was about to take an interesting turn.Master couldn't hide how much he hated the werewolves and it had taken all that I had in me then to convince him to not retaliate as we were leaving and find a better plan and time to punish them.I couldn't blame him for wanting to deal with them at that moment. I would lose my wits as well if I was locked up in a place for twenty years. That was insane.We had a lot to talk about. I had a lot of questions for the master and it wouldn't be in my best interest if I allowed him to act foolishly out of his emotions.After being locked up for twenty years, I didn't think he was going to be as strong as he was then. No matter how much I idolized him. I had to be realistic with myself.He was already straining himself to work with
Mia"What is wrong with you, Mia?" I jumped as my boss shouted at me. What was wrong with him? He hadn't done that before. I wasn't even shocked at his shouting even though he hadn't done that before. He was shouting at me over what he hadn't done before. I wasn't expecting this attitude from him."Is there a problem, sir?" I asked him, my hands pausing on the keypads and I frowned as I pulled my eyes away from the screen to look at him."You are the problem, Mia." He hissed at me. I was taken aback. Where was this coming from? We didn't have any issues. We had laughed as we departed the previous day and he had even promised to get me a gift today, teasing me that I was one of the employees he liked. I didn't know where this attitude was coming from. He was acting strange and I didn't know what was wrong with him. I didn't think we had a fight this morning as well.How could I be the problem? I sighed. How possible was it that someone who liked you would suddenly tell you that you
MiaI thought that home would be better when I get there but it wasn't. I saw mum standing outside unlike herself, looking worried with a huge frown on her face. Not that it marred her beauty but it was unlike her. She was in a conversation with the cook when I got in and glanced up in surprise when she saw me."Come here, dear." She said as she saw me. "Why are you here?" I didn't feel offended at the question as I knew that she was teasing me. I should have expected the question though. I hadn't been home in some weeks after she came back from the honeymoon trip. I had told her that I couldn't be home because I wanted to give her and her husband the privacy she needed. We both knew that was an excuse but I was grateful that she didn't push it.The boys were home and the newly wedded parents were doing well without a complaint. I could have stayed home if I wanted to but I didn't want to. I felt guilty about the escape of the dark wizard and couldn't face Albert or the boys. I was
MiaThe cat sat on the window sill and mewed, his black eyes shining as it stared at me. I shivered, holding on to myself with my arms as the cold dealt with me. I was cold and yet it felt like I was hot. It was hot. It was strange and I couldn't deal with it.I cursed at myself, wondering why I had chosen to wear the gown I had on. I had on one of the strapless gowns that the triplets had bought for me that I couldn't have rejected because they had given me in the presence of my mum.I scoffed, telling myself that I was being silly. I couldn't have worn that gown even if I had a gun to my head. Asides the gown that mum had forced me to wear then when the triplets had invited me to a party, I didn't think I had ever worn any of the other gowns. I had packed it somewhere so I wouldn't even be tempted to wear them.I wouldn't have worn a gown as light as this when I knew that I would be coming to a place as light as this. I didn't even bring a coat with me. What was I thinking?I frowned
MiaI woke up, feeling cold and pulled my duvet over me. That was strange. What was going on? I clearly remembered that the home heater was on before I went to bed the previous night. I shouldn't be feeling this cold. I pulled the cloth higher over my head but it didn't help.What was the time? I wondered if it was daybreak yet. I couldn't wait for the world to be alive so I could get some breakfast into my body. Maybe I would help with cooking breakfast. I needed some distraction to help me with the bundles of nightmares that I had dealt with.I turned to check the time on my phone and was shocked to see my mum seated beside my bed, staring at me."Mum," I croaked in surprise. "Why are you here?""You wouldn't stop screaming all through the night. I had to be here when I couldn't take it anymore to be sure my daughter is fine."I blushed, feeling embarrassed. "I'm sorry to have disturbed you."She flicked her hand, waving my apologies away. "Don't be sorry about that, dear. Anyone ca
MiaThe boys finally moved in and we got settled to business. I avoided looking at Quinn all through the meeting as I couldn't get over the news I had heard about him. I couldn't stop imagining seeing the grim reaper behind him. Albert growled at them. "Why were you late?"Jack grinned in his usual carefree manner. "We saw Mia walk into the study and we thought to give the two of you some father-daughter bonding time."Albert and I scoffed at the same time at his words and then smiled at each other. I knew they wouldn't have been late to show up without a good reason. If only they hadn't done that, I wouldn't have asked Albert any question and wouldn't have known what I did. I wouldn't be tempted to look at him with pity as I wanted to do and I knew doing that was the fastest way for me to get my head off my neck.Quinn hated pity and wouldn't tolerate it if I looked at him with pity. Even if he liked me to the moon and back, he would have dealt with me."Let's get to business." Albe
MiaI messed up. I shouldn't have gone with the men on the search for the dark wizard's items. It had been fruitless. We hadn't found anything that he had left behind. The only thing that had been found was my newly acquired fear for the night. The boys wouldn't stop teasing me about it even though their father had told them to not tease me.I frowned. I didn't know how they had found out that I was afraid despite how hard I tried to hide it. Their supernatural eyes were really working.We all met in Albert's study the next day. It was when we left there that the boys started teasing me and I knew that they had known of my fear."What is your plan for today?" Jack asked as I was leaving.I turned to look at them with my eyebrows arched up. What were they up to again? I didn't trust them. I was starting to but I didn't trust them fully."Why?""You heard dad say he is taking your mum out on date to make up for their honeymoon that was cut short. You want to be home alone?""Are you goi
Mia I almost fell as I was rushing out to the garage, afraid that they had left me behind. I had tried to get ready within that ten minute time frame that he had given me but it had been impossible.It wasn't like I was trying to dress cute for them but I had my pride and image to save. Regardless of what they said or would think, I couldn't just dress up anyhow because I didn't want my brothers to think that I was trying to be enticing to them.I didn't know where they were going and I didn't want to look embarrassed. What if I meet someone that I knew and I was dressed as if I had been robbed of all the clothes that I had?I would be too embarrassed to face the public for days. Moreover, I knew those hooligans that called themselves my brothers wouldn't hesitate to laugh at me if anything embarrassing happened to me.It was better to avoid situations that would bring tears to my eyes after the night. I had already told them that I would be going out with them and despite their impa
