Daniel's pov. "You want to know about my brother and I?" "It's not some fun fairy tales, you know," I said, placing a forced smile on my face to sound cool. But honestly, the thought of it all was devastating."It's okay... "If you don't want to talk about it," Kiara stuttered. She must have noticed my abrupt and cold attitude."Our father was the Alpha." However, I always thought that everything was as it should be, not until my brother started to think he was not fairly treated. I started. I wanted to say it someday to someone. I have been living as a rouge, and all this time I can't decide whether I should feel guilty or not.Kiara waited and listened with her eyes on my face. "My brother became jealous." He concluded that I was most favored. His evidence was that whenever my father was going to a pack meeting or to visit another pack, he always took me with him and not him. I sighed and continued. "At first, I thought it would stop at mere jealousy, but he decided to be interest
Daniel's pov."Let's start with you. You ask first," I said, adjusting my position. I sat upright, leaning my back against the cushion, and then crossed my legs. I stretched my fingers and arms as a way to prepare my body and mind. Kiara chuckled as she watched me. "What are you doing?" "It's not like we are about to engage in a fight," she said amidst laughter."Who knows, it might turn into a fight." Now start. "I am ready," I announced, clearing my throat and tilting my head. "Okay. But I can't start. You brought the idea; why don't you start it? I feel nervous that I won't get it right. I mean the rules of the game, so it's best you start."Alright, I will.""I am single.""I am not lonely.""I am searching."I listed mine and waited patiently for her to give me a reply. Kiara looked confused. Obviously, I did not know which option to pick. I looked at her and started my countdown." 1, 2,3,4...""I am not lonely!" She exclaimed. "Right" "Oh really?" She said this while laug
Kiara's pov. "You are going already?" I asked Daniel as he stood up and headed outside. "Yes. "Should I perhaps sleep over?" Daniel answered with smiles. I didn't have any problem if he wanted to stay over. After all, I have enough room for everyone. "If you wish to." "I don't have any objections to that," I said. "Well, I wish to, but I cannot." "I have something to do at home, as you know my office is both at home and in the company, so I work till midnight sometimes," I nodded as he explained. He must have worked hard to take care of everyone who left their pack and became rouges. "Then I will escort you to the car," I offered. He didn't hesitate, so I followed him outside with Dan wrapped in a blanket in my arms. He opened the gates before he came back to his car to drive outside. The. He came in and closed it again. I watched as his car moved away until it was out of sight. Closing the gate behind me, I walk back inside. A sting of loneliness struck me.I stand on my balcon
MATEO'S POV."I came to warn you—not to live but to prepare very well for your death! I don't care, but I will make sure that you die exactly the same way you killed my son. No. I think I will make yours so sinful. Slow and steady death! Jim's father threatened; his face was red with anger. He looked fearless, talking to me like I was one of his boys. I hope he didn't forget that I am his biggest rival in Italy, and killing him won't even cost me a breath. "Do as you wish. Well, because he is your son, I will like to tell you how he really died and spent his last moment with the life path you have forced him to follow." I said and moved away from his face. Guns chuckled, and they were all pointed at me. Just in time, my men surrounded them. Already, Jim's father came with lots of men to fight me, but mine outnumbered his. He raised his right hand, signaling his men to retreat, which they did. I also turned around to look at Caleb. I blinked my eyes, and they all retreated."You won't

MATEO'S POV We continued our ride down the road, and honestly, I have no specific destination. The man driving has asked me countless times, but I am just coming out of my house; obviously, I am not going back there for a while. I pretended to be just going for a ride and would be back later to get some fresh air. I heaved a sigh of relief as I sat in the car, leaning my back against the seat. My heart felt a bit heavy after I just realized the pains my victims' families have been going through just because of me. I now understand Kiara's mystery; it will be more painful knowing that her family were murdered in a day by the man she loves a lot. Not even that they were kidnapped; they are all dead, and she won't see them again except in the afterlife. The immeasurable pain I have been going through all these years, even with the hope that my parents are alive but just missing, can't be measured with the one she has had to endure all this while."Hey, stop the car at that riverside ov

Mateo's povI barely caught a glimpse of my car; it's getting darker than before. I quickly got in and turned on the engine to head home, although not to the house I was coming from but to another; it would be more dangerous for me to stay at that house.I drove at a very high speed, not minding the street lights and the other road signals. I grip the steering wheel tightly as I press down on the accelerator. The engine roars as the car speeds down the deserted highway. The headlights cut through the darkness, illuminating the road ahead. The wind whips through my hair as I swerve in and out of the lanes, pushing the car to its limits.My heart races with adrenaline as I glance at the speedometer. I'm going well over the speed limit, but I don't care. The thrill of the drive is too much to resist. I can feel the weight of the car shift as I take a sharp turn, my tires screeching in protest.I glance in the rearview mirror, but there's no sign of any police cars. I let out a laugh as
