*DAMON* Zayden is my cousin from my dad’s side. He mostly kept to himself while growing up because he wasn’t very social, but we got along well. His parents have been away from our family and the country for 20 years, so I’m the only one who knows where he is. I hadn’t seen him in a while because I’ve been busy with work and responsibilities. But this time, I made sure to visit him because I missed him. He’s the only person I trust completely. He hugged me tightly before letting go. "It's so good to see you." He said and I smiled. “I’m glad you’re doing well. Are you still enjoying life in the countryside?” I smiled as I sat down next to him. “This place is so peaceful. I wish it could stay like this forever.” “Me too,” I replied, knowing that any civilization coming here wouldn’t end well. Zayden wasn’t just anyone; he had extraordinary powers as a werewolf. “Do you need water?” he asked. “Yes, please.” He got up and went to the corner of the room, grabbing a glass jug and
*DAMON* I looked at Zayden, not wanting to believe what the guy just said. Then I thought, maybe I imagined it or misheard it. “Zayden, did you hear that?” Zayden seemed less surprised than me. He acted calmly, like he already knew what was going on. “Relax, Achilles. He might be lying,” he said, trying to calm me down. He knew I might not be able to handle the information right then, so he tried to distract me. I turned to the guy, Nolan, again. “Did she also tell you to kidnap Sarah, my assistant?” “I never got instructions like that,” Nolan replied innocently. But despite his innocent appearance, I couldn’t fully trust him. I searched his face and realized he was telling the truth. I was starting to feel confused. “On March 14th of this year, where were you?” I asked. He seemed to think for a moment before answering, “I was out of state.” “Don’t try to deceive me,” I growled. Was he playing mind games with me? “He’s telling the truth,” Zayden said calmly, observing the in
SARAH’S POVI felt no peace of mind. I was so curious and at the same time, annoyed. How could he go on a business trip with such short notice? The attitude he gave me didn't go unnoticed either. What was up with him? I was the only one that had the right to be angry, not him.I just couldn't do anything right. He kept crossing my mind and I felt unrested.I was in the huge kitchen, helping out with dinner preparations for the royal family. Even though Dorathy, the Alpha's mother was the only one around, we still made elaborate meals.I was given vegetables to chop. I had quite the confidence in my abilities. I had helped in the kitchen back at my father's pack many of the times so I knew how to handle these things well.But my mind was far away from what I was doing and I ended up almost chopping my finger. I had a slight cut and fresh, red blood came out without force. "Arh." I moaned in discomfort and called others attention."How did this happen?" The chief maid asked."I'm sorr
ALPHA DAMON'S POVIt was a dream. By the time I woke up, I was already sweating profusely. What could her disappearance mean? I was very troubled at heart. The way I was brought made me pay attention to the most little details, even dreams.Just then I heard the chirping of the birds. Was it morning already? I paid attention to my environment and realized it was already morning and the rainstorm had stopped.I stepped out of my room and as expected, Zayden was up. I could perceive the sweet aroma of meat stew and the warmth that oozed from the living room."Good morning." My cousin greeted, beating me to it. He must've sensed my presence because his back was turned against me."Morning." I mumbled as I moved closer. My sixth senses sharpened as I inhaled the aroma of the stew again. "Snakes?""Yeah. I caught it earlier this morning." He replied. I was disgusted immediately. "I'll pass. I don't eat snakes." "Then you have to prepare something by yourself." He said nonchalantly."Tha
*DAMON*The line got disconnected before I could say anything. I was so confused and troubled. Hurriedly, I drove out of the hotel premises and tried dialing the line again. Then he picked up."Charles, where are you?"And in a whisper, he replied. "I don't know where exactly but I think it is somewhere around the North city.""Alright."I stepped on the accelerators and drove off to the North city that was like an hour away from the pack.*What exactly happened?* This was the question I asked myself all through the drive.I had to choose a path according to my instincts when I got to the North city, hoping to find him. It wouldn't be so hard by the way. Me and Charles had been together for so long so I had his scent mastered and we could even communicate through telepathy.As I drove further and further, I picked his fragrance faintly. And I was led to stop at a building where his scent became so strong. The building looked so old with thick bushes surrounding it.I alighted the car
SARAH'S POV As he kissed me, he gently touched my waist, making me feel things I've never felt before. I instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck, wanting more of him without really thinking about it. I was losing control, wasn't I? I let out a moan as our tongues intertwined. It was surprising even to me how quickly I went from being angry with him to being in his arms without hesitation. Was this love? Obsession? Or just desire? The kiss continued for a while, growing more intense with each passing moment, making me feel a rush of excitement. I could tell that he was feeling the same way too. He stopped kissing my lips and instead started kissing my neckline, then my ear, and finally my neck. "Damon," I softly moaned, feeling impulsive. His body felt warm against mine, but then he suddenly stopped. He looked into my eyes with no emotion and said, "Get some rest, Beauty." Then he left without giving me a chance to respond. I watched him leave my room and sat on the edge of
SARAH’S POVI was aware of Alpha Damon’s arrival. I was so worried all night that he wasn’t back yet. *Maybe something bad happened?* I thought from time to time but still strived to be positive.I wanted to nag him real bad when I saw that he was back but we weren’t on good terms.I became myself again after he arrived. At least, he was safe. Heavens knew I had series of questions on my mind to ask him but I kept my quiet.I left the window side and laid on my bed. I could sleep now.About fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on my door. *Could that be him?* I thought as I walked to the door to open it.It seemed like what happened the other day was unfolding again.I opened the door and was shocked to see his mum. My jaw dropped. “Ma’am?” I let out subconsciously.She looked at me with no emotions in her eyes. “Come with me, I need you to help me with something.”Without hesitation, I followed her. But what could she need my help for?We arrived at the huge kitchen. Oh, we w
*DAMON*After eating, my senses fully came back and I started to make strategic plans in my head. I put down my plans in my business notepad like I had always done and then requested the presence of the developing team leader.I told him to sit as soon as he came in."Mr Blake, which country did you say the engineer in charge of the new technology product is?" I inquired."He is in the Netherlands sir. Why do you ask?""I'll travel down there to meet him. Get in action with the PR and the advertising team once I give you a go ahead. Get them to change the floor plan for the launch site.""But sir--" He was obviously going to object and I cut him off abruptly."Would you just follow instructions without asking questions?""I'm sorry sir." He apologized immediately.I left the company immediately after and headed to Astrid's place. I hadn't seen Charles since. He was healing quite well. His injury looked better then. He wasn't fully human so speedy recovery was a given, even with Astri
