Chapter: FEIGN IGNORANCECaliAs Aklan and I left the dinning following Mother, she leads us to the pack’s secret room at the back of the pack mansion which was founded by father and was only known to Mother and us. The pack’s secret room was cloaked with an invisibility spell. The location can only be found using Mother and Aklan’s sharp sight. Walking into the secret room, it was dusty. The furniture of the place was still covered with a white cloth. I guess we all hadn’t been here since father died.Something was unsettling Mother. I could feel it. “Mother, what’s the problem?”“Cali, have you tried reading Kaia’s mind before?” Mother asked. I froze. Why did she ask that question? It’s the same Xendith had asked earlier. “No, mother” I replied. “I don’t want to invade her thoughts”Because I didn’t want to know what she thought of us. “Well, even if you tried; I doubt you’d be able to” Mother says, trailing her finger across the dusty table. “It’s weird. You’re the only one whose mind I’ve ever been una

Chapter: TOTAL BLACKOUT KaiaDinner was… awkward. I hadn’t been expecting to see my mates Mother so soon. Her aura alone was intimidating. I could barely look her in the eye. I was even scared to do in case she would read my mind. I still remembered Xendith’s words that their mother had a combination of all four brothers’ power and more. Great, breakfast was a disaster and now dinner was worse. “You aren’t hungry, Kaia?” she asked, catching me off-guard. “Or is the food not to your liking?”I disagreed instantly. “It’s not that”“Then, am I the one making you uncomfortable?”Damn it. I hadn’t expected her to come out with it directly. “I just wasn’t expecting us meeting so soon so I don’t know how to act. I apologize”She laughed deeply. “I like you already, Kaia. You can call me Marianna. I hope you can try to relax so that we can be able to enjoy this wonderful dish the maids have prepared” I nod, relaxing a little. Given Marianna’s aura, I was frightened at first when I got to the dining but after she

Chapter: ALL ALONEXendith“Mother, you’re home early” My shaky voice greets. Why was I trembling this much? “Welcome”“I thought you missed me, Xendith. Especially since you asked Aklan to check up on my location”Aklan threw his hands up in the air. “I didn’t mean to, Mother”“It’s alright” Mother says, walking to her golden chair in the ancestral hall. “So, what have you four been up to? Have you found your chosen mate yet?”I dared not speak up. Kaia wasn’t ready to meet mother. Not right now, anyways. Something wet drips down my nose. It was blood. Don’t tell me Mother had just read my mind. Staring at Mother in shock, she had a smirk plastered across her face. “It looks like you have something to tell me, Xendith. Did I hear you say her name was Kaia? I’d like to meet her. Right now,”“Mother, why don’t you meet Kaia during dinner?” Cali inquires. “You just came back from a four days trip. You need rest”Mother nods in agreement. “You’re right, Cali. So, fill me in on what’s been happening in the

Chapter: DID YOU MISS ME?XendtihI dragged Aklan inside the pack mansion to the study room on the third floor. “Hey, use yours words” Aklan complained when we were in the study as he freed himself from my grasp. “I had a question to ask you”“What is it?”“Earlier on, you said you couldn’t see where I was with Kaia, was it true?”Aklan frowned. “Would I lie about something like that?”“Can you check to see where Mother is?”Aklan pursed his lips. “Mother is going to kill me for this”“That had never scared you before”Placing a hand over his right eye, Aklan does as I’d asked. “Mother is still on her trip”So, his powers weren’t broken yet he couldn’t find me when I was with Kaia. Weird. “Don’t you find that weird? The fact that you couldn’t find me when I was with Kaia?”“Weird?” Aklan scoffed. “Rather, I’m challenged. Never have I felt this much excitement my entire life”“Excitement?”He nods. “Yes. At least, around Kaia I wouldn’t have to worry about seeing her future. Being around her would make me fee

Chapter: POWER THAT I POSSESSKaiaXendith hadn’t given me a chance to respond. He’d picked me up and speeded off to a restaurant. The people in the restaurant gave an off vibe. I could tell they weren’t werewolves. But that wasn’t the problem right now. Xendith had called me by my last name, Duncheon. How did he know that? Had he been digging into my past? Does that mean...he knows?“You seem to be overthinking a lot in that little head of yours, Kaia” he says, arms crossed over his chest. “Let’s make this date of ours a bit more fun, shall we?”“How?”“We both get to ask each other three questions each. What do you say?”I was wise enough to know that I didn’t have a choice in the matter. “That’s fine with me?”“Good” He shoves the menu across the table towards me. “Feel free to order whatever”Picking up the menu, I frowned at I read the list. Nothing here seemed edible for a werewolf. “What sort of place is this?”Xendith laughed. “Is that your first question?”I shut the menu. “You and your brothers. What exa

Chapter: A DATEXendithAfter breakfast, I walked into Pliar’s room—of course, to cause trouble. Pliar was laid across his bed going through a book our father left us when he died. It contained rules and our duties as the next alphas of the pack. I was pretty certain Pliar already knew the content of the rule book like the back of his hands but a day hardly went by without him reading it. “Are you going to stand there all day, Xendith?” he asked without looking up from the book.“You act like you hate her and the sheer sight of her disgust you yet you sneak into her room and heal her ankle. Who do you think you’re trying to deceive, Pliar?”Then, he looks up at me. Bingo. “Weren’t you asleep?”Of course, I wasn’t. I’d spent all night wondering what sort of person Kaia was. “You first” Pliar shut the book in his hand. That was new. “The ointment Cali used was going to take forever before her ankle heals. We can’t have mother thinking we maltreat our mate, can we?”I nod in agreement. “I oddly see

DIVORCED: MY EX HUSBAND WANTS ME BACK
My whole body began to quiver as I looked up at Ryan who wore a smug or was it? I couldn't tell as my vision was blurred with tears.
"What is the meaning of this?" I questioned still in disbelief. Where had it all gone wrong??!.
"It's exactly what it says in the paper, Ciara"
"And what is that?" I stubbornly inquired. It was as if I didn't want to believe what the paper read until Ryan says it. A part of me still wanted to fight for whatever we still had left.
But then he'd said it. Ryan had uttered those words I so desperately dreaded," I want a divorce, Ciara"
***
Ciara is the heiress to her father's company but she left all of that to be in a contract marriage with Ryan. It was supposed to be a 'no-strings-attached' kind of feeling but, she couldn't help but fall in love with him. Just when she wanted to start a clean slate on their first anniversary, she was handed a divorce paper.
Ryan is a billionaire and a man with a hardened heart. He never saw Ciara as something more than just a 'fake wife' who was willing to help him out with a case. Deciding that he had had enough, Ryan hands Ciara a divorce paper setting himself free from her.
But on his way to the office of the new investor of his company one day, he is overcomed by a welling shock that the name of his new investor was Ciara. The same Ciara he'd once known.
What happens when this two duo meets for the first time since their rough divorce?

Chapter: 150. EPILOGUEAlenaOver the week -as we made preparations for our short trip vacation trip to Paris- we wrapped up things at work. As chief Quincy declared my team could go on a break, we went to Dad's restaurant to celebrate. It was there, Kassai decided to break the news that she and Maxton were dating. "Finally" Clara groaned, sipping on her can of beer. "I thought I was going to grow old before one of you could make the first move"Kassai chuckled nervously. "I decided to tell the team so that things won't be awkward later on if we break up""Don't worry about the unknown and live in the present" I advised. "When we reach that bridge, we'll cross it"Maxton springs up from his chair. He didn't look good. "I'm going to use the restroom"Picking up a chicken wings from the bucket, Clara sighs. "One person just got together another is about to go for her honeymoon in Paris soon..""Vacation" I correct. "Not an honeymoon"Kassai gasps with surprise. "You're going to paris?. How do I not know this

Chapter: 149. MAKING THE MOST OUT OF THE PRESENTAsherMy hand healed up in no time. All that was left for me to now was to decide if I was ready to go back to the hopsital.I decided to speak with Fredinard about it as he was my new pops. "Damn" Fredinard exhaled. "I didn't know you were dealing with so much, Asher. I'm sorry for not paying close attention to you""You did" I corrected him. "I'm the one who didn't want anyone to finding out""Still..""Fredinard" I cut him off. "You don't have to feel responsible for problem. You've loved me like your own son since you came into our lives. That's more than I could ever ask for"I paused. "I decided to tell you about it now because I need your advise on what next to do""You said you still want to be a doctor, right?"I nod. "Yes""Then, take a break" Fredinard concludes. "Use this short break to go on a short vacation somewhere and while doing that, try to get over your phobia?" He paused. "Have you ever thought your phobia was as a result of a pat trauma?"I deeply reasoned Fredi

Chapter: 148. IS THIS SANE?Asher "You look so beautiful" I gasped, staring at Mom in her white wedding gown in the bride room. Never did I think Mom would actually want to settle down and remarry but I guess that Fredinard had some tricks up his sleeve. I better learn it from him. "Thank you, Asher" Mom says in all smiles. She was radiating from head to toe. Words didn't need to be conveyed to be told that she was happy. Anyone could see it. "I'm here!" Clara announces, barging into the room while breathing heavily. "Sorry I'm late, Mom. Traffic was heavy plus I just got off work""Did Alena come with you?" I asked, eager to see my girl. Clara twitched her lips. "You should at least act happy to see me""I am happy to see you but eager to see Alena more"Clara rolled her eyes. "Whatever. She's in the restroom. You can barge in there for all I care, Mr. Eager" Her gaze falls on Whitt as she picks him up from the ground into her arms. "There's my little boarding school kid. How have you been?""I'm fine"Wh

Chapter: 147. SIDE STORY 5KassaiMaxton had called and told me to meet him at Emmiel's bar. I'd contemplated coming up with an excuse to avoid meeting up with him but, Alena had told me to face it head on so that I would be able to quickly get over it. Strolling into the bar, I walked towards Emmiel by the counter. "Hey. Is Maxton here?""He's waiting for you in the VIP section upstairs""Thank you"Heading up the stairs, I played over the words I wanted to say to Maxton on repeat in my head but as soon as my gaze fell on Maxton, I forgot all I had to say. He was seated on a couch at the far end of the VIP section. I remained where I stood, putting some distance between us. "You came" He says. "Well, you called""I've been calling you since yesterday morning, Kass" Maxton says as a matter of fact. "You've clearly been avoiding me. Why?"Why?. "You know why, Maxton""I remember everything that happened that day" He claims. "I'm the one that kissed you so why are YOU the one avoiding me?""Because I know yo

Chapter: 146. DRESSED TO BE REJECTEDAlena"This one" Mom says, pulling out a pink dress from the clothe rack. Ciara and I had gone shopping the next day for a dress I'd wear to Miss Micheal's wedding. I'd told Mom that she didn't need to accompany me but she insisted. So, here we were in Miss Micheal's cloth store picking out a dress while Mom pushed baby Linden's stroller. Whisking the dress from her hands, I went into the dressing room to change into it. Mom had good taste. Stepping out from the dressing room, a short gasp escaped through Mom's lips. "You look like a princess"I blushed. "Thanks, Mom""Do you like this dress or do you want to try another?""I like this one""Then, let's get it"Stepping out from the dress, Mom asked for it to be placed in a bag as she made payment for it by the counter. As we exited Miss Micheal's store, Mom and I moved into the central park and sat down on a bench enjoying the scenery before us. "Thanks for insisting to come along, Mom" I say. "I didn't want to stress you as yo

Chapter: 145. SIDE STORY 4MaxtonIn the bar, I asked Emmiel to pur me another shot of beer. "Another"Emmiel was one of my closest friends I had outside my teammates. His father was owned this bar but as he was sick, Emmiel had been working in his place for the past 6 months now. "No, dude" Emmiel refused. "That's enough""Why?" I slurped. "I'm helping you boost your sales, aren't I?""Listen to me" Emmiel says. "I don't know what you're going through right now but you've had enough alcohol for one day"Letting out an exasperated sigh, adds. "Who the fuck gets drunk in the day time anyways?"I do. And that's because I was trying to forget my feelings for Alena. I hated the fact that she'd even gotten attacked by a victim and I wasn't there for her. Many more things were bound to happen one way or the other and I couldn't be there for her because she chose Asher instead and I hated that. "Fine, don't get me another drink" I splurged, rising up to my feet. "I'll just go drink at another bar""Hey, dude. Stop!
