Chapter: 156JONATHAN POVThe salty breeze swept across the beach as I stood between my boss and the woman he loved, wishing more than anything that I were somewhere else.Anywhere else.Andrew and Andrea continued laughing near the shoreline, chasing waves and throwing handfuls of sand at one another, completely oblivious to the storm brewing behind them."Jonathan," Stella said, folding her arms tightly across her chest, "take me and my children home."I looked at her.Then at my boss.This was exactly the situation I'd hoped to prevent when I rushed to the island.Keeping my voice as neutral as possible, I replied, "I can arrange the next available flight, ma'am.""I don't want the next available flight."Her tone remained calm.That worried me more than if she had screamed."I want to leave now."Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Devon take a hesitant step toward her."Stella..."She didn't even acknowledge him."I've had enough."The words were quiet, but each one struck harder than a shout.

Chapter: 155DEVON POVJonathan stood between Stella and me, his phone still in his hand after ending the call with his wife.The ocean breeze swept across the beach, carrying the salty scent of the sea as the twins continued playing a short distance away, blissfully unaware of the tension building between the adults.Stella folded her arms tightly across her chest."Jonathan, take me and my children home."Jonathan glanced at me before looking back at her."I can arrange the next available flight, ma'am.""I don't want the next available flight."Her voice remained calm, but I knew that tone.It was far more dangerous than yelling."I want to leave now."I took a step toward her."Stella..."She didn't even look at me."I've had enough."Every word landed like a punch."I didn't ask to come here.""I know.""You drugged me."I closed my eyes briefly."I know.""You took me away from my hotel without my permission.""I know.""You separated me from my children.""They were never in danger."Her he

Chapter: 154DEVON POVJonathan's phone suddenly rang, interrupting the peaceful sounds of the waves crashing against the shore.He glanced down at the screen and immediately sighed.The kind of sigh that came from a man who already regretted answering the call."Honey," he answered, rubbing the back of his neck, "I've told you this before. You can't call me in the middle of the day like this. I'm usually busy."He shot Stella an apologetic look."Sorry," he muttered quietly before turning his attention back to the call.Even from where I stood, I could hear his wife shouting through the speaker."Well, I just saw Rita, and she's moving into the building! She's going to be living downstairs!"Jonathan quickly pulled the phone away from his ear.I almost laughed.His wife had quite a voice.He frowned for a moment before a look of realization crossed his face.Then he slowly brought the phone back to his ear."Wait."He blinked."Did you call me because of that?""Well..." she stammered. "Um... yes

Chapter: 153LISTENINGLuke clutched his chest as he wheezed out breaths, his vision becoming blurry. He looked up to see his parents walking away, but his younger brother, John, turned to him. “What's wrong?" John asked as he stared down at Luke, panic closely crept into his face. "call..” Luke tried to say as he reached out his hand to the direction of their parents. Luke gagged then fell to his knees, his head pounding while coughing uncontrollably, a red liquid dipping out from his mouth.“Luke!" John yelled, his voice reached the adults walking up ahead and they stopped to see what was happening.Martin's eyes widened once he saw Luke on the floor coughing, he gripped his cane tighter and rushed to him, his son, panting on the floor. He bent down to his level, "What's wrong buddy” Martin asked, his cane dropping to the floor with a loud thud. "Why are you coughing? This isn't the time to get sick, son!" his voice was laced with worry despite his scolding.John comes closer to his father a

Chapter: At the BarAlpha Killian sighed then rested his head on his palms, his elbows on the desk. He was exhausted, not physically but emotionally. When he saw Kenzie for the first time in front of his office, the wave of electricity he felt was overwhelming. It was something he had never felt before. His knees were going to give up on him but fortunately for him, she left and he regained himself. As she left, he wanted so badly to run after her and claim her, he wanted to tell her not to ever leave him and wrap his arms around her and leave his scent all over her but he couldn't do any of it because Kenzie was a human. There's a law governing every pack to ensure that their identity is secured and they are all safe and that law is if any of them have a human mate, they must reject her immediately. The humans cannot feel the mating bond like they do hence their love is unrequited. It was too risky to make the humans fall for them and then tell them they were werewolves, the humans might not accept

She shouted then slammed the glass on the table in front of her, fortunately, the glass didn't break but it earned her a lot of stares from still sobbed people trying to enjoy their evening. A young man, in a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up which exposed his muscles and had a lot of women at the bar swooning over him, he walked over to Kenzie behind the counter with a bottle of whiskey. "I mean, I know they didn't want to give me a chance in the first place but…" Kenzie trailed off with a slur in her words. The bartender pours her drink and then closes the bottle back. "But what?" The bartender asked, encouraging her to speak further, Kenzie blinked continuously as she struggled to keep her eyes open. "But what they did was too much! Why are they putting on a show like that? It's an interview to be a bodyguard!" She continued, her voice was very loud and the low m

Chapter: Beauty and the BeastAlpha Killian buried himself under the pile of paperwork on his desk but after a few hours, he was tired of going through and left his office. He went to the training room where he watched his bodyguards practice on treadmills, fighting rings, weight lifting, and sacks. It was a vast space with gym equipment and sweaty people. Gunshots can be heard close by and it's because the room beside this is a shooting range. "Alpha Killian, you requested for me?" Matthias, Alpha Killian's beta asked as soon as he was inches away from him. He followed Killian's eyes to the people training. "So I want to know how the new trainees are doing?" Killian said, still looking ahead. "They are doing great, even better than expected. They have a lot of zeal." Matthias responded and then pointed at five different people busy training. "They are the new trainees, two are at the shooting range. They are all around the age of 20 to 22." Killian carefully observed the five people Matthias had pointed out,

Chapter: The suffocating windThe wind blew angrily as it began to pour, air was suffocating to a particular someone. The noise from the downpour overshadowed all the chatters, sniffles, and sobs in the gloomy environment.A woman, in her mid-thirties, dressed in a black blouse and loose pants walked closer to Kenzie and took the umbrella she was holding, and opened it. She covered herself and Kenzie with it. "Stay under cover, baby." Kenzie's mother, Mrs. Whitney Davison instructed her, her voice was low and it was almost inaudible."My condolences." Someone walked to Kenzie and said softly as she patted Kenzie's back. She turned to Mrs. Davison and repeated her words. Mrs. Davison nodded but Kenzie remained silent, her gaze never let the tombstone in front of her. Down here it was written, 'In loving memory, Mr Andrew Davison. A kind and loving husband and father.' A tear rolled down Kenzie's cheek, her eyes were dark and seemed to have shrunk, her cheeks were bright red and her lips were wet but it wasn't lip
