Elder Maxson Romane & Geschichten

“Because her emails, Earnest… they weren’t just about business. They were about leverage. About keeping you in line. And that message about the ‘deal’ you struck with her father? The one that conveniently ‘saved’ your career? What was that deal, Earnest? And what did it cost you?” He finally met my eyes, and for a fleeting second, I saw it – a flash of something raw and desperate. But it was gone as quickly as it appeared, replaced by that infuriating blankness. “You don’t understand,” he said, his voice barely audible. “It’s complicated.”

These terrible words hit me just like a hard physical punch to my gut tonight. They were not just holding Marcus hostage. They were going to erase him to make Kael a god. You will go to this warehouse and get the hybrid alone, the Elder told Elara. If you fail, do not come back. Jaxon stepped forward. I will go with her. The boy is fast. The Elder nodded. Go now. But remember, Jaxon, if you betray us, you die. I could not stay hidden anymore. Time was running out fast. Elara was too angry. I stepped out of the dark shadows. The guards instantly drew their sharp weapons to kill me right away.

"We lost her about forty minutes ago, Alpha. She took a ride share and we were caught in traffic. We have the last known direction but…" "Find her." I said quietly and hung up. Lewis picked up on the first ring. "Find Emberlyn." I said it calmly and there wasn't a single drop of calm behind it. “Now. All the resources. I don't care what it takes.” "Jaxon." He spoke gently. "What happened?” “Elias Desmond is Edison's son." I said it plainly. "And she is somewhere in this city without the pendant." Then followed a moment of silence, lasting just two seconds.

Marcus smiled despite himself. “You’re early.” “Mom has meetings.” “She usually does.” Leo walked in. His eyes moved across the office. Files. Charts. Awards. Old photographs. The room felt lived in. Not impressive. Just real. Leo pointed toward a frame near the shelf. “Is that Mr. King?” Marcus turned. The photograph showed Elias years earlier. Younger. Relaxed. Actually smiling. It had been taken during a company charity event before hospitals, betrayals, missing women, and empty years turned him into someone quieter.

Emilio added, turning slightly, “all accolades to Richard Dominico, who birthed such a strong son.” My father was standing a few steps away with an unreadable expression on his face. He gave a small nod like this was all going exactly as planned. I scoffed under my breath. “Defiled death? Elix, your father is a clown.” Elix squeezed my arm lightly, then released it and stepped forward. “Papa,” she said warmly. Emilio turned and opened his arms. Elix leaned in and kissed both his cheeks. “Oh, how I’ve missed you,” she said softly.

Grandfather said, his voice flat and blunt too. I felt a retort rise in my throat, my temper flaring at Grandfather's words. “Why do I feel you have a problem with me, old man?” I sneered, my face turning into a frown. “Can you just…” But then, before I could complete my sentence Emelda cleared her throat softly, her eyes shining with excitement regardless of the tension that was about to rise. "The Elite-Marson firm gave me the job. My jaw dropped in shock and my spoon clattered to the floor as my eyes immediately burnt with fury.

Jaxon's POV "Good morning, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma," Elder Jasper greets with a fake ass smile across his brown, weathered face. He and the other three elders along with Jeremy's father, William, sit across from Melanie and Ameer while I sit at the head of the table. The tension in the room is so thick, you couldn't cut it with a knife.

My body was pushed to its limit time and time again, but I didn't quit. When they thought I was ready, they made me go up on that old ring and face off with one of the big ones, Big Tim, he was a menace. Savagely beat on guys, with no mercy. Needless to say... I lost badly to him, almost took me two weeks to open my eyes.

Training Maxwell to be the Alpha once Ellie stepped down was the last thing on my mind right now - I knew it was going to have to happen at some point but it could happen when he was in his late teenage years, not when he was eight and didn't even know what the term 'Alpha' even meant. "Now as happy as I am that you have met the twins, tell me the real reason you're here because I know it's not to see either of them," I said as I turned on the spot, rocking Maxwell slightly, a smile on my face as he spat his dummy out and took to moving his eyes from side to side as he made the weird noises new born babies make. "We got Erick, the doctor, to speak," Luca spoke firmly. "And?" "Well he was bla

He got some grey strands of hair only but his hatred and his appearance remained the same. No words were coming out of his mouth. The man over the video call spoke. "Remember me?" Rana Pratap stumbled at his place. His biggest fear was standing in front of him. He didn't expect him to be alive and he didn't expect the entire scenario. Snapping the phone away the man in the middle spoke in the deadliest tone. His broken English was enough to bring down a chill through everyone's spine. "I am Arthur. Luca's son. Now either you willingly tell us where Myra is, or be ready to face the consequences."
