Kiara's pov "Why are you screaming, sir?" "Won't you do something already?" I was startled at the man's reaction when I mentioned the scorpion tattoo."Ain't you going after him with your men?" I ask again when I notice that he is all lost in his thoughts. "Mister... Mister... Sir?" "Damn it,” I muttered loudly. I had to tap him a little before he got back to reality. "What?.. oh, sorry, you can go home now, okay?" "Drop your phone number; I will dial it if we find something okay," he says. I can see how nervous he has become; his hands were shaking. "No,” not until I press an official charge against them. I want to find them at all costs, don't you?“Then go to some other officer; don't make my life worse, please,” he shouted arrogantly at me. I wonder why he was scared of the scorpions, or whatever they call themselves."I appreciate... thank you, sir." I murmured and went to the other police officer, a female this time. She was busy with his phone, playing a game, I guess, becau
MATEO'S POV. "I found his address." My assistant says that as he stands in front of the door, his face looks worried about me when he sees that I am supporting the weight of my head with my hands on my jaws."Then let's go," I say, and I stand up, ready to leave."Now?" He keeps asking, getting me annoyed. 'why? Must you question my authority? I am really annoyed. He was my beta back at the pack. My best friend too, then. I expect he respects me more than anyone else in the human city because he already knows my real identity. Even without a wolf, he sure knows that I was way too strong. I wonder how special my wolf could be. "Sorry boss," he says. I glare at him angrily and then deliberately bump his shoulder with mine while storming out.We enter the black Lamborghini Huracan eVO we drove to the party. I am at the back. My normal position and that of my assistant is in the driver's seat."Can I have the address now?" I ask. "Y.. Yes..." He stutters. He pulls out a piece of paper
MATEO'S POV Today has been a clusterfuck since the morning. I can't tell if the bad luck is on my side. First, my mate went missing after only meeting her for the first time, and now the woman who can provide me with the information I require is ill. Maybe she will be at the mortuary now. God knows the hell that would have happened if I hadn't come a bit earlier. I'm too stressed to think, and I'm hungry as fvck.I went into a nearby hotel to get a good meal—Savante Hotel was there. head swiveled and watched as I walked in, but I didn't care. I order polenta and cured meat and dig in once my order arrives. It tastes delicious, but still, I feel empty inside. I pay for my meal, then take my jacket and car keys and leave the hotel. My phone buzzes, and the caller ID shows it is Caleb, my assistant. I clicked the blue button and placed the phone on my ear. "I got all the girls from the night party, boss."Caleb's voice sounds more scared than real. I know something is amiss even thou
KIARA'S POV. The day dawned crisp and clear. The sun poured through my window. Another day had dawned, bringing with it new hopes and aspirations. The light of dawn seeped into my room. I rubbed my bleary eyes and walked to the window. There was a pearly glow in the sky. The first rays of sunlight lit up my room. The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in. The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene. The just-risen sun shone softly on the city streets, bringing with it a flurry of early-morning activity. I stretched my body and made my way to the shower. I didn't know when I came to my bed yesterday. I almost thought I slept on the floor with my head on the table. After having my bath, I put on my blue gown, the last gift from grandma. She said it would always be my luck, and today I need all the luck I can gather. I feel guilty for falling asleep even when Mila is missing. The perfect footwear that would suit the style
KIARA'S POV. I have been sitting, hiding under a blanket, and anxiously eating one bar of chocolate after another while watching a high school romance series on N*****x for the past two hours. The working class has long gone to work, but I took a leave from work. to attend to myself. I had pretended to be sick and taken a leave of absence from work for my own safety.I have a feeling that those men would come again looking for me, and this time they might really get me. But why would they be looking for me? While chewing on my nails, I ponder but receive no response.I am still engrossed in my thoughts when I hear a firm knock at the door. “OMG! Oh my god! This is bad! This is bad! Very bad!“ I chant while moving up and down in my room. I wasn't expecting anyone. I literally know no one here except Mila, but she would be working at this time. Or is it Jim? At first, I wanted to pretend I did not hear the knock, but it persisted. I stand on shaky legs as I approach the front door. At
KIARA'S POV The black SUV moved to the end of the street and then turned to head away from town. Still, I stared out of the window. watching the blur of the green leaves whiz past me until I no longer recognize my surroundings. I took a deep, shaky breath and turned to see a dark eye fixed on me. “Whoa!“ I exclaimed. My entire body is covered in goosebumps as a result of my fear.I shifted uncomfortably to the end of the seat, feeling the coldness of his gaze. “What?“ he finally snapped at me. His expression remained frozen as he replied. His gaze was still fixed on me. I scoff slightly, my gaze lowered so I couldn't see him. “What do you want from me?" "Who the hell are you?” I hold the man's collar tight and question. Kiara has no idea where that particular courage came from. “You are brave too." "Nice, just the qualities needed from you," he says as my hands helplessly slide down his chest.I am in a big mess right now, all thanks to Mila, who wanted to help me get a rich billi
Kiara's pov I scrambled out of the car as soon as it rolled to a stop, desperate to put distance between me and the man standing beside me in the car. Being confined in such a small place was suffocating and had my heart pounding so hard. I dressed my glasses so that they fit perfectly.I wished I could untie my hair because I definitely look like that nerdy girl who could be easily intimidated. The house even looked more intimidating when I stood before it, and every wall was lined with armed guards with guns tucked into their belts. I looked back to see the big black gate that had sealed me inside. They were impenetrable, standing at least twenty feet tall. The cold wind howled through the iron, rattling it.As the atmosphere became more pervasive, I shivered. “Let's go in,” the man growled in my ear, his hands curling around my shoulder as he pushed me a little. He tugged me towards the entrance. Striding quickly, I struggled to keep up. I attempted a few times to free myself from
KIARA'S POV “I have to report to work this evening, and I need my work clothes." I dragged my eyes back to focus on his instead. He shook his head and then leaned on the door. “ No. You won't work in the meantime. Let's say you are on your holidays, right? “Excuse me?“ My eyes widened as I felt the nails dig deep into the soft duvet on the bed. “You aren't working anymore, okay, so you can relax,” he repeated, his eyes narrowing in veiled amusement as he looked up and down at me. “Why the hell not?“ I snapped, getting more annoyed. "This isn't your father's house because you're here as a fucking prisoner; can't you get it already?"All those men stood there to guide you and make sure you didn't act silly. "There's no work for you anymore, little pretty girl; you won't even get to see your friends or family unless you do exactly as you're told," he scoffed, smirking. “That's not fair!" What the hell do you want me to do? "I will do it and leave this place.” My voice trembled as I
