Chico barged into the room he shared with some of the vampires, groaning deeply, causing Liam and Thomas who were present in the room to turn their gaze on him.“Did something happen between you and Hamilton?” Thomas asked almost immediately, sitting up on the bed where he was lying on. He is guessing that to be the case since he has been very upset with Hamilton lately.Liam just tightened his jaw muscles as he peered at Chico from the chair where he was seated on, next to Thomas, having the same opinion as Thomas.“It is not Hamilton, it’s that b*tch, Felicia,” Chico replied fiercely, recalling how she told him that she knew his secret. “The nerve of that b*tch to blackmail me,” Chico added, tightening his jaw muscles and wishing he was in control of viper city already. “What did she say?” Thomas asked in a deep tone, wondering what Felicia must have said to him to make him this upset.“She knows of my plan to take over from Hamilton,” Chico said, peering into Thomas' eyes. Thomas
Alpha Dennis barged into his bedroom feeling very furious and devastated after having yet another failed session with Bret, causing his wife, Luna Cara was seated on a chair in front of her dressing mirror to stand up on her feet immediately startled by her husband.“What is it?” Cara asked taking a few steps closer to Dennis even though she could already sense his reason for being so furious. “I am done with that son of ours,” Dennis blotted out, groaning deeply afterwards. “I wonder how I ended up with such a son, all of my efforts to take control of Batton city over the years will go to waste because I do not have a capable successor,” Dennis snapped, pacing furiously around his room with Cara.Cara’s brows furrowed, feeling terrible too for Brets inability to awaken his wolf’s strength. They have only succeeded in making his wolf come alive but have failed to make his alpha strength come alive. She has tried to train him herself too but failed.“Calm down Dennis, I think we shoul
Monalisa woke up to a sharp pain in her tummy followed by an indescribable pain around her waist. This was not the first time she was experiencing this and felt like it was going to stop just in the same way that it has done in times before.She managed to turn in pain on her other side, her gaze unconsciously rested on the broken clock at the corner of her room. It was barely one hour since she fell asleep, she said inwardly after seeing the time."Please let me sleep you wicked thing, unlike you I have to work in the morning," she muttered angrily, lowering her gaze to her tummy, referring to the baby in her womb and wondering why the pain isn't stopping yet like it would have. "What is wrong now?" She muttered angrily again as she started feeling like she wanted to pee and the pain wouldn't stop. She constantly goes to pee lately and worst of all, she would end up having a very small leak with her bladder still feeling full. This is so unbearable for her. She did not know how mu
Monalisa stared steadily at her reflection in a broken mirror in front of her in the shabby small basement she stayed in. Peering into her clear blue eyes, she could not help but wonder why life was treating her differently unlike the rest of the people living in this city, especially girls her age, who are all loved by their family members, friends and neighbors. She is only sixteen but had gone through so much trouble that she now thinks she has suffered more than Cinderella whom she had read about in books.She loved reading stories about girls who had suffered unjustly but had happy endings at last instead of reading stories of vampires, witches and werewolves which was the most preferred among the people in her city because she does not believe in its existence as most of the people do, she found such stories scary and preferred happy ending books like Cinderella's.Monalisa slowly lowered her gaze to a book in her hand which was still about Cinderella, this was the only Cinderel
Monalisa lifted her hand immediately against her cheek that had just been slapped, tears suddenly streaming down her face. “I am sorry aunt… I did not mean to do that…” she muttered, feeling her face hurt from the slap her aunt just gave her and her body trembling a little from fear.“You are sorry…” Annabel snapped, still glaring furiously at her and feeling nothing at all by the slap she just received from her mum. She was thankful for one thing though and that is the fact that her mum always protected her interest and showed her so much love and care especially in the presence of Monalisa and even though she taunt her whenever they were alone about how she need to maintain her physical body, she loved that her mum always did not hesitate to hurt Monalisa whether she did something wrong or not. “How dare you do a thing deliberately to me and pretend to be sorry about it,” she added, still glaring at Monalisa, wishing her mum would slap her again but saw that she was not ready to hit
“Then where is she? Tell me, is she here?” Lila asked, as she scoffed a little, making fun of Monalisa and glancing around her too. "Your mum is dead, Monalisa, she is dead… that is the reason why she has not shown up these past fifteen years or perhaps you are worthless to her, that was why she left you to me anyways, she knew how much I hated her but she still left you in my care, to be my slave…" Lila told her spitefully this time, peering hard at Monalisa who peered at her, tears flowing from her eyes down her cheeks.Lila and Annabel were the only family she had known and no matter how much she tried to please them, they still treated her badly and now she could see that they even wanted her dead and this hurt her even more."Leave my house this minute Monalisa," Lila said authoritatively and spitefully, gesturing for her to leave the house. "You have to stay outside tonight, I guess that would make you learn that you are nothing but a slave," Lila told her again, recalling how
“Monalisa…” a male voice called out to her, startling and making her turn around immediately too to see who had called her name.“Bret…” Monalisa muttered, sounding a little out of breath because of how frightened she was a moment ago and surprised to see him standing in front of her like this. He had also called her name which was awkward to her because he normally would not have called her name and wondered why he did. "Sorry Monalisa, I frightened you," Bret said apologetically, seeing the fright in her face."What?" Monalisa muttered again and this time glanced around her, wondering what was going on at this moment and why Bret was talking to her and so politely too. No one was polite to her before and that includes Bret, in fact he has never spoken to her before, not that he has any reason to, he was way above her class. Bret is the son of one of Aunt Lila’s wealthy friends, who often visits the house with his clique of friends and sometimes drops by alone to see Annabel who wa
Monalisa’s lips parted slightly too as she peered into Bret’s face, her heart starting to race inside her, wondering what this was about. Bret had been a regular visitor in her Aunt’s house but he had never spoken to her before, it was like she never existed and now he is standing in front of her in this awkward moment saying this to her."Oh my goodness, Monalisa, I do not know how to get this out, please could you come with me, I am freezing out here and I bet you are too," Bret said, reaching out and taking her hand, making Monalisa’s pupil widen as he took her hand. She tried to pull her hand away from his but he held on to it."Come with me Monalisa, I am going to explain this to you but I cannot do it out here or we are going to freeze out here before I make you understand this." Bret told her and without wasting time he started leading her to his car. He opened the car and helped her to step into it while he walked around to sit on the driver's seat."I am taking you to my hous
