MARCUS P.O.V'What are you going to ask her, Atluri?' I thought to myself with my eyes on him. I also hated that Margaret's daughter was taken away from her, I also wanted to stop everything that was going on but I was scared for my life and especially that of Alicia and our son Maxwell. I can't let them hurt my family. I must save my family at all cost even if it means putting my life at stake. "From the previous information you gave me, you said that your daughter was seventeen years old, you also mentioned that she just graduated from high-school here in the city," Atluri asked, taking his gaze off his jotter to her. "Yes, that is correct," Margaret answered."Good," Atluri heaved a sigh then continued. "You also mentioned that after you and your husband got divorced she has spent all her time with you since you and your husband had never been in touch for many years now. Is that correct?" "Yes," She replied."This is means that you must know he pretty well," "Yes, I know my d
ALICIA P.O.V I was seated inside my room with my child when I heard the sound of my doorbell. I knew that Marcus stopped by earlier but there was no reason for him to ring the doorbell since he has a key to the house.Flynn and Rina would not be the ones either, neither could it be Katherine. I gently placed my child on the bed then headed downstairs. I approached the CCTV camera and on the screen I saw a young man who looked like he was in his thirties. He looked decent but I was sure I have never seen that face before not to speak of the fact that he looked indian. I was greeted by his cheerful smile as soon as I opened the door. "Good day sir, how may I help you?" I asked."Hello, my name is Sharma Atluri, I am a Detective who works with the sheriff Mark. I believe that you are Alicia Lindsey, the only daughter of Eddie Lindsey," He said."Yes, I am," I replied."I knew I was right. You look so much like your father," He said. "May I come in?" "Sure," I said, making way for hi
MARCUS P.O.V 'I'm sure he must be somewhere around here?" I said to myself while gazing around the woods. I glanced at my phone again then lifted my eyes forward to the spot the GPS displayed that Silas was standing.The woods didn't seem complicated. The grasses were low and there were no bushes. Trees were the only things that seemed much in the area so if he was here then I should have spotted him by now.Before now I doubted that Silas would set me up but now that I have arrived at the scene I think otherwise. What exactly could he be thinking?I couldn’t get the scent of a vampire or werewolf. I listened but there was also no suspicious sound. Everything I could hear was nature singing In my ears.I walked down to the exact spot the GPS signal pointed. I waited but there was still no sign of any living mammal.I stooped low, gently taking off the grass beneath my feet and there I found a cell phone. At the sight of the phone I knew that I had been tricked.My ears caught crunchy
ALICIA P.O.V It's been hours now since Atluri left the house but until now Marcus hasn't returned any of my calls. Everyone else was back except for Katherine. However I didn’t tell them that Atluri stopped by."Where are you Marcus?" I whispered. I walked downstairs to the sitting room and while making my way to the sofa chair, I felt the vibration of my phone.I checked and It was Eddie so I answered the call."Hello Dad," I said."Hello Alicia, how are you doing?" he asked."I'm okay," I replied."Sorry I missed your calls. I had a lot of engagement here. was there something you wanted to tell me?" He asked."Nothing serious, I just wanted to know how Marcus is doing. I've also been trying to reach him but he has not been answering my phone calls," I replied."Are you serious? It's been hours now since he left the police station," he replied. "Didn’t he stop by?" "He did," I replied. "Don't worry about it, I'm sure he will be back soon."I hung up immediately after my comment as I
MARCUS P.O.V"No way, this can't be," I whispered to myself with my eyes on Flynn. I couldn’t believe that I have just lost the most powerful pack member I have. How did this happen? Alicia also had the same look on her eyes. I could tell that none of us expected it to happen. Could it be that Flynn doesn't know what he has done?'No,' I thought, wagging my head slightly. His posture and looks was clear evidence that he knew perfectly well that he would become an Alpha if he slays the pack leader.I walked up to Flynn who was standing before the Alpha’s seat. "What have you done?" I asked. I glanced at the head of the dead Alpha and back again at him. "Flynn, do you know what this means?" "Yes, I do," He replied. "I am now an Alpha," He replied.I threw a punch at him immediately after his comment. The pack were about to attack but he stopped them."Why did you do that?" he asked. He spat the blood from his wound as he looked at me."You are a member of my pack. You were one of us
ALICIA'S P.O.VThis is the first time I am seeing my husband this frightened. It was also frightening to see him this way. Marcus will never fear unless the situation is critical.Who in the world is Wade and why is Marcus afraid of him? I thought to myself."He is coming Alicia, Wade is coming," Marcus said."Who is Wade?" I finally voiced my curiosity."He is my father's elder brother. Harold told me about how brutal they are," He replied."If he is your uncle then why will he want to kill you?" "It's the Wade’s rule," He answered. "My uncle made that rule and it was set as one of the most revered rules in my pack." "What does it say?" "It says that if any of Harold's pack leave Catalina Island they will be eliminated." "If you tell your uncle that you are his nephew then he would spare our lives," I said."No, he won't. After his conflict with my father, he had always desired to kill me, that was what my parents told me…" "But that doesn't make it true," I interrupted."Yes it
MARCUS P.O.V This was what Harold told me his brother looked like. This is Wade's doing; this was his way of attacking his victim. It was the exact setting. How did I forget? I thought to myself.“Brace yourself Alicia, he will be coming inside any moment from now,” I said to her and immediately after my comment we heard the shattering sound of the window glass. I turned on the torchlight of my phone pointing it to the direction where the noise came from. There were broken pieces of glasses on the floor but there was no sight of anyone. While looking around the room we heard another sound coming from upstairs. Alicia zoomed off as soon as she heard the sound. I was about to go after her when someone knocked me off. My body landed hard on the floor. I reached my hand further to grab my phone and just then I saw the figure of a large wolf walking in the shadow. I groaned aloud. I shape-shifted into a werewolf then ran after the figure. Our paws clashed as we threw ourselves to
MARCUS P.O.V“Alicia, no, please listen to me. Run away,” I pleaded with my gaze fixed on my wife who stared at Wade with determination.“Let’s end this here and now,” Alicia said.I watched Wade clench his fist with a cruel smile over his face. He was about to attack when we heard the sound of sirens. I looked towards the road and I saw many police cars approaching. We were all shocked for a while.I looked at Alicia who seemed as shocked as we were. It was obvious that she didn’t call the cops. I didn’t call the cops either so who would have done this? I thought to myself.“Shit!” Wade exclaimed. He glared at Alicia again. “Let’s just say you got lucky this time but we will meet some other time,” he replied.The officers had already ventured into my compound and seeing this, Wade fled with his pack. Seeing they were all gone I stood up on my feet as I went after Alicia.“Are you alright, were you hurt?” I asked while observing her.“I’m fine Marcus,” she replied. Immediately after h
