~Charlotte ~The sound of someone snoring beside me woke me up. My head was pounding heavily, and I felt disoriented. I try to remember where I was. The room was dimly lit. My two hands were tied with a robe as I lay on a bed that was surprising comfortable. "Where the hell is this place?" I looked around. I finally came to my senses and remembered everything that had happened. The slap, my struggles, the rude men with masks And the fact that my phone had been smashed.They finally succeeded in getting me kidnapped.I wriggled my hands, testing the tightness of the knots. It was so freaking tight that I couldn't loosen it myself. however, knowing fully well that it was all on me to decide if I wanted to live or be killed here. As I scanned the room, I noticed a small window high up on one wall, covered by metal bars. It seemed like my only way out. With my hands still bound, I carefully sat up, trying not to make any noise. The person snoring beside me was still deep in sleep. I rec

~Charlotte ~I could hear Ethan talk. It sounded so faint and fuzzy. My head was killing me. I had a feeling that if I opened my eyes, the light would pierce my brain like a knife. I tried to shift slightly away from the light, but I groaned painfully."You are awake?" I heard what Ethan said as he quickly ended the call he was answering."Not actually," I answered in a muffled voice."How are you feeling now? Better?""I feel like a huge stone was dropped on my head for me to carry.""That's an explanation, sunshine. I am glad you are awake. The doctor is coming to see you again this morning, so just relax, and I will make you breakfast.""You should relax too. Madam Lucy will make breakfast for the both of us. Look into your eyes. Did you even get any sleep yesterday night?" I asked, but he looked away."Is it that bad?" He picked up his phone and tried to see his face on the phone."Yeah, it's really very bad," I snarled with sarcasm. I wanted him to feel a lot more at ease and let

~Ethan~It's been two weeks since the attack, and the whole Nightcore Mafia group couldn't find three men. I was really annoyed at their incompetence, or maybe at Vincent. He would have run after them even though it was dark. Sunshine said that there was a house in the woods that she was taken to, but I went there the next day and toured almost the whole woods without any sight of a house, whether demolished or sound."You seem to be spending a lot of time thinking these days. What's eating you up?. Being an Alpha? I understand.It's your first, and fuck all who think you ain't doing a good job."I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't even notice her presence until she talked. "Including my father?" I joked. "No. No! Except your father.""So my mother then?""I mean, except for everyone that's trying to help you. Oh, you are stressing me for no reason, Ethan! Let's have lunch together since it's a Saturday.I let him drag me to the dining room, where the food was served."Y

~Ethan~ I swiftly dodged her attack by narrowly avoiding the blade as it sliced through the air. With a quick movement, I disarmed her, pinning her to the ground before she could cause any harm.She was quite skilled, indicating that she was not Donovan's victim but a lover, sort of. "You're even more foolish than Donovan," I said, glaring down at her. She struggled beneath me, but I held her firmly in place, my gaze cold and unyielding. "You both deserve each other," I muttered, disgusted by them."Who are you, and why are you disturbing our lives? Can you please spare us?" Donovan asked, and his tone wasn't as high as it used to be."Unfortunately, I can't do that, man; you are on my to-kill list.""What the fuck? Who asked you to kill me? That old sh*t, Trevor? I wasn't lying when I said that we didn't succeed in getting the don's wife."Now he was talking.I shoved the woman out of the door. "Save your ass!" I said and jammed the door to her face."Look, I have money—a lot of m

~Ethan ~Once I made it back to my car, I tossed my backpack in the passenger seat and pushed the ignition button before realizing I still wore my muddy boots. Goddammit. I smacked my head on the steering wheel in frustration. I forgot to make him leak every stench out of it, and now I have to figure out how to clean it myself. I called earlier on to come pick up the package and deliver it to the owner, and we got in front of the Chitis Hotel; he was already waiting. I whined the window down and handed the box to him. "The address, I will text you now," I said, but before I handed it to him, I discovered that I forgot to specify who sent it. I took a marker, and on the box I wrote, ""You may have thought you were playing with fire, Trevor,but you just stepped into the inferno.""Now make sure it gets delivered to his house. The other guys, I will leave them to you guys to handle. Make sure you take care of them.""Yes Alpha. Your wish is my command."Okay. Give me your shoes.""Wh
