“Where is she?”
Tamara looked at the man, standing on her front steps, wearing a scowl on his handsome face. “Despite all the precautions that I put in to make sure that no one would find her and yet, here you are in my place.”
“I have no time to play with you, witch! Where is she?” He growled at the woman, wearing a white nightdress and nothing else, standing cockily against her door frame.
“I don’t know why you’re still asking me when you already know the answer. She’s not here.” She smirked gleefully at the anger in his face.
Eon put his hand on her delicate neck in the blink of an eye. Two cats hissed behind her while she just laughed as if her life wasn’t in his hands—literally.
“You smell different from the ones that were running after her.” She grinned when Eon's hand loosened around her neck. “And because of that, I’ll let you in.”
Eon pushed the woman inside and he went in, growling at the two cats that were glaring at him, hi
“Where to now, boss?”Eon didn’t look at Frio. He looked outside the car’s window, trying to process his emotions. They didn’t find Lina but he found out that she was safe. And for that, he was thankful. However, he wasn’t one hundred percent happy with the thought that someone took her and she chose to call whoever that person was than him. His jealousy was raging.“Back at my father’s pack. I need an elder from what the witch gave me.” He glanced at the black garbage back, sitting next to him at the passenger seat. He had Frio drive while Ehann sat in the passenger seat and he took the backseat. Not finding Lina and from what he heard from the witch, pissed him off that he would rather just contemplate at the back of the car than drive.Frio and Ehann could sense his bad mood that the two didn’t make any noise in the whole duration of the drive back to his father’s pack. The more than six hours
“Start talking!” Ehann kicked the two men tied back to back on their sides, making them topple to the side on the hard ground.“We know nothing! You have to believe me! I have a family and my wife…ugh!” He gasped for air as his friend elbowed him, making him stop talking as he spat saliva on the ground. His eyes watered with how much pain he was feeling. They were tied with rope soaked in wolfsbane. Every time one of them moved their insides were being lit on fire.Ehann walked slowly in front of the other man. “You were stopping your friend to talk, even when he knew nothing.” He grinned, grabbing a handful of the man’s hair, yanking it to make him look at him. “Do you want to tell me things, instead?”The man spat but his saliva just fell back on his own face. “We have an Alpha.” His mocking tone didn’t escape Ehann, his left hand curled into a fist, cracking the man’s left ja
“You are saying that you have no idea of what the Lykanthos did to my woman?” Eon asked the other man, sitting across from him from a Maple table. The coffee in front of them turned cold and untouched. “No,” he replied in a cold tone. The atmosphere between them was terse. “All I knew was that the Lykanthos was giving me a feast because they wanted to be part of my pack. I have no prior knowledge of what they were preparing for me.” Eon stared at the other man coldly. He doesn’t believe everything that he was telling was the truth. But he didn’t come here to seek the truth. He’s here to issue a warning. That no one should dare touch what was his for he won’t just sit down and watch. “Can I ask a few questions?” He creased his forehead for what Alpha James could need from him. But he didn’t say anything, just rolled his neck as he clasped his hands on the table. “I’ve heard how you fixed the problem with the mining company—” “It’s my fa
“Are you sure you wanted to stay here?” Zhan looked around the apartment that used to be their love nest. His hand circled his wife’s waist, pulling her closer to him. He felt a bit of guilt, taking his wife here but she insisted on personally checking on Lina.She chuckled and winked at Stephanie who was rolling her eyes with how Zhan was acting so protective. “I’ll be fine here. This is the only place that I have happy memories.” She smiled apologetically to Zhan’s wife.Life was really strange. She never thought that it would bring her to this situation where the first man she loved would be standing in front of her with his wife. She was expecting to feel hurt but strangely she didn’t. Zhan and Stephanie were the ones who went above and beyond to make sure that she would come home safely. She didn’t expect them to do so and now she was glad that she called Zhan to ask for help. The things that were left between
“She is with whom?” He stood up from his swivel chair forcefully and it toppled as he got up. He gripped his phone so hard that veins popped up from the back of his hand. “She is with her ex-boyfriend. It was him that she called to pick her up from the house of Miss Tamara Whitefield.” Markus kept his voice calm and steady. Eon’s anger couldn’t be hidden despite the thousands of miles of distance. “Do you want the rest of my report?” Eon growled. “Give me a minute.” He had already expected that Lina called someone that has a strong connection with her but he didn’t expect it to be her ex. [What the hell was she thinking?] His wolf didn’t reply and just growled. It took him a minute before he was able to ask Markus to continue with the report of his investigation. “Lina arrived in Shanghai after her layover in Hongkong. What’s really interesting was that from Hongkong, she took a commercial flight even though the private plane was at her disposal.
“That’s what you got wrong, Lina. You are my responsibility. After all, you are my niece.”She slowly blinked, her brain was stuck up in the process of what Briare said. “Niece?” Her voice crocked. How did she become Briare's niece when it doesn't look like he has Asian blood? Her heart thumped painfully in her chest for she remembered when she was young, kids in the neighborhood used to tease her as a half-mixed. When she became an adult, people just shrugged off her looks that were a bit different from others as a result of an operation. She didn’t get any. She didn’t go under a knife but she didn’t correct those wrong assumptions because it would be more complicated to explain how she doesn’t really look so Asian when both of her parents are.Her gaze slowly drifted to Vanessa who was sitting next to Briare. She wanted to see any indication that Briare was just joking but Vanessa was wearing her poker face.
“I’m busy. Can’t you just leave?” She couldn’t understand why every time she had to talk to Briare she was always asking him to do things for her. In her head, she really wanted to tell him to leave but when she opened her mouth it turned into a question as if she had to ask for his permission. “I’m sorry, Lina but we can’t just leave.” “We aren’t going to leave until you accept the fact that you’re a guardian and we are family.” She got up from the couch. She wanted to try if Brigette would still make her sit down. “I don’t want to go with you or anyone. I want all of you to leave me alone.” She gathered all their cups, not asking if they were done with their drinks, and brought them to the kitchen sink. She didn’t return to the living room, instead, she unpacked the bags of groceries that Zhan sent to her apartment. She made sure to make a loud racket of noises in the kitchen as she moved around to make them unwelcomed for words were not enough for
She splashed her face with cold water and looked at her expression in the lavatory mirror. Her eyes were red from crying while her face was as white as a piece of paper. She gripped the edge of the cold sink, her breath was uneven.“What’s happening with you?” She asked at her own reflection. She had no one to ask. She could ask Briare but she doesn’t trust him and Brigette annoys her. Thus, she doesn’t think asking them was really a good idea. She was about to leave the bathroom when a thought came to her mind.Briare told her that he’s looking for her mother so she could prove the truth of his words. She can’t ask Briare but she can ask her mother. The problem was, she wasn’t sure if she could do it. She hasn’t faced her mother since she tried to kill her. And, she also has no idea what’s the name of the asylum where her father put her mother.If she would contact her father, he would know that she&rs
