Clandestine Affair, book 1 of Affair Duology, is finally completed!This is the first novel I’ve completed so far and it is a long and hard journey as procrastination always gets the best of me. I enjoyed writing this and I will start writing book 2 of the Affair Duology as soon as I finished editing and revising book 1. All the revelations will be revealed and explained in the second book. If you came to hate Vishnu in the first book, his actions would be justified (I hope so) in the second book. Also, book 2 will include stories of our side characters. I hope you support and love the second book as much as you do in the CA.That's all! We’ll see each other in the second book, readers. Love lots!

KIERSONI always liked Vishnu and I always will. Obviously, I don't know where it all started. Is it when our first argument happened?Or was it when he saw me jump at the school wall because I was planning to cut classes and he reported it to the principal?Did I fall deeper when we were arguing all the time and chances we had? Am I already whipped when we became friends?Did I fall too hard?Maybe I did. No… I am certain. I did fall harder. It would always be a painful yet happy memory of when my grandfather sent Derrick Emerson to me. I was enthusiastic for Derrick to meet my friends. I was happy when they became close. All those happy memories when I was in high school were with them. I was happy because I am with them…“Jerson,” Vishnu called me. I lazily looked at him as I raised my brows. “What?” I asked. Vishnu smiled cheekily and he squeezed my cheeks. “Guess what? I like someone!”I faked a smile. Of course, I know who it was. “Derrick, was it?” I asked. Though, I was s

“An apology without litigation is just manipulation, Vishnu. Remember this day. You killed this man… you said that you want him dead… and his death was your fault.”Vishnu aggressively shook his head as he clenched his fist while kneeling down. Kierson was really dead and he saw it with his own eyes. Kierson died and it was all his fault. “It’s just funny to see how this man could easily forgive you after everything you’ve done to him. From how you’ve pushed him into his insanity in your senior days up to how you chose Derrick five years ago, and still choose Derrick after neglecting him even though that means he’ll die. Isn’t it worse than dying? Yes?”Every word served as a dagger that pierced his heart. Vishnu grabbed his chest as he felt like his heart was clenching. The scene where Kierson was lying down with his blood on the ground was piercing a hole through his soul. The feeling was unpleasant. The void in his heart kept on getting bigger. Darkness started to invade him. Va

Kierson was all tied up. Valenn was dragging him out of the mansion while Leon and Harvey were on their back — following them. The whole mansion was a hodgepodge. The shattered glasses caused by the bullets were scattered around. Most of the artifacts were broken. The paintings were hanging down and the chairs and tables were turned over. Harvey, Valenn, and Leon were wearing masks like a criminal. “Stop dragging! I can walk!” Kierson shouted. “We would want to let go because of your weight but it wouldn’t be believable if I let you walk there by yourself unscathed,” Leon replied. Kierson’s eyes twitched. “What the hell are you planning?”Valenn tsked. “I know that you’re still hoping for Vishnu to have a change of heart, Kierson. Before everything else, I’ll have to wake you from your delusions.”“Are you kidding me? Untie me! Pronto!” Kierson struggled and tried to free himself from Valenn's grasp. He was also continuously cursing at them but the three didn’t mind.“Gag his mou

Kierson began finding some clues and documents related to Alex Ferrer in his grandfather’s office. He rummaged through the whole room. From the old man's desk, the cabinets, and the shelves but unfortunately, he could not find anything. Everything was a mess as he nearly turned the whole room upside-down. Kierson sighed and sat on the floor. He wiped his wet palm on his handkerchief. He wiped his beads of sweat and sat on the couch near the table. Gladly, he was okay. The abnormal sweating stopped. His heart rate came back to normal. It was as if his anxiety episode never happened. Fortunately, he overcame it without somebody’s help. He came over it without the help of his psychiatrist. Kierson stared at the ceiling as he pondered Alex Ferrer’s possible logical reasons for ruining everyone’s life. Alex Ferrer is the reason for all of these twists and turns that ruined most people’s lives.Kierson wished to know everything. “Just why the fuck was Alex Ferrer keep on pestering us?

“What do you want?” Derrick asked. “You’re unexpectedly more helpful and more receptive to cooperating with us than I thought,” Kier asserted. Derrick rolled his eyes. “Just tell me what you want… ask me what you want to know. I have nothing to hide anyway,” he urged. “You’re boring,” Kier commented as he plopped on the seat in front of Derrick. Derrick chuckled. “I get that a lot.”Kier turned his head and slanted his back against the backrest of his chair. He pressed his lips and stared at Derrick. Seeing Derrick up close, he could not condemn Vishnu. There was no doubt that Vishnu really took Kierson to be a substitute for his lover. No matter what angle, Kierson, and Derrick really have similarities in terms of facial features and height. It was like Kierson was more of an Emerson than a Ferrer. Eye color and innate autocratic aura aside, Kierson didn’t get the Ferrers traits. Kier sighed and said, “What do you know about Alex Ferrer?”Derrick tilted his head. “Beats me. Th

“I am fine now, James. So, tell me what you wanted,” Avery asked. James took a deep breath. “This is about Georgina,” he declared. Hearing Georgina’s name was enough to make her blood boil. Avery wasn’t sure before about Georgina’s reason for letting her out of the prison, but after thinking about it so hard, Avery became so sure that Georgina did it to make her suffer more by watching her beloved pack die from the attacker’s cruel hand. That is how evil and scheming Georgina is, and Avery could only laugh how idiotic she was in her past life to fall from her schemes. All she did was manipulate James, and because she couldn’t go against the Alpha who was supported by almost all of the pack members, she couldn’t do anything but endure the hardships James gave her. If she can’t find any strength within the pack that is now being manipulated by Georgina, seeking help from her parents’ sworn friend may be able to help her establish greater authority. The invasion of another pack is i

“Avery, I found my fated pair.” Avery looked at James in confusion. He wasn’t tied up in a rope like the last time she saw him. In fact, he looked much better than before. She looked around and found that the territory was in its best shape, as if the attack on their pack and territory had never happened. There was no spilled blood on the vast land, no bunch of bodies piled up like trash, and no bodies were hanging from trees. Avery felt like she was in a dream. This must be her dreamland where her desire to save her common folks and her territory dwells. This has to be a dream, Avery thought. She saw her people die with her bare eyes, but upon seeing the lively ambience in her pack, she wished that she would not wake up from her dream. James held her hand when she did not answer. “Avery?” “Where am I?” she murmured confusedly. “You are in the Knight Pack territory, our territory, Avery,” James gently whispered. He walked near her and caressed Avery’s face. “Are you okay? You’re

Avery couldn’t hear what Axel said. Her full attention was now on the young lad who was shouting in pain while being dragged on the ground. A rope tied his whole body. His body was full of bruises, and Avery just couldn’t stand by and watch the torture happening. She feels the need to do something for her pack members. Even if she was stripped of the title of being a Luna, she has come to love the members of the pack that accepted her, the pack that her ancestors built with love and care. She’ll protect it even if it's the last thing that she needs to do, even if it causes her death.What are you planning to do?” Axel asked as he stopped Avery from advancing to the men who seemed to be having fun torturing the lad.Avery looked at Axel with animosity visible in her eyes. She just couldn’t figure him out. Why is he acting like he cares for her when he is the reason why she was tortured in the first place? Not only was he the reason why she was treated like a traitor by her own pack, but

I have to get out of here, those were the words that Avery kept on repeating in her head. She has to get out and save her people from Georgina’s cruel schemes. If she can’t get out of the underground prison, she won’t be able to fight with them. She might die regretting everything she had done and what she could not do for her pack. What she wanted was to save her people from Georgina and the werewolf who presented himself as Axel. She may not be able to leave the territory, but her people can flee and find refuge somewhere from the wild. At the very least, she should die with pride so she wouldn’t be embarrassed to face her parents in the afterlife after dying.Avery rummaged through the basket that Georgina threw at her. She found the key to the shackles and the cell prison. She wasted no time and freed herself from the shackles that had her skin burning for days. Although she does not know what Georgina is scheming against her, this is her only chance to escape the prison. Chances

“Just what the hell is going on?” Avery whispered to herself. She was imprisoned in the underground prison all by herself. Her wrists and feet were tied in shackles made of silver. It was truly painful. She felt like her very bones were being ground repeatedly. The shackles were also leaving marks on both of her wrists and feet. Avery felt like her skin was being burned. It was truly torture for every werewolf, a nightmare for those who got to know what this kind of torture feels like. But it did not end there. It has been days already, and she at least expects James to visit her, but he hasn’t. Even Maya, her loyal companion, did not see her, nor did the other council members who had sworn their lives to serve her their loyalty, even if it cost them their lives.. The thought of them abandoning her haunts her more than the shackles that prevent her from escaping.“Don’t tell me you’re still expecting them to get you out of here?”Avery looked at the approaching figure. Her petite body,

“Let me go! How dare you lay your hands on me without my permission?” Avery shouted angrily.James scoffed with his annoyingly smug face. “Right now, you are not the Luna of this pack anymore,” he declared. He stood up and looked ate Avery with his piercing eyes. “You are bound for torture to spill those who are on your side!” he declared. “We can’t let a traitor run around here. Who knows what you might do next? You might aim for my neck if I allow you to run loose.”Avery gritted her teeth. What the heck is wrong with him? It was as if he had forgotten the pact and his promise to her! A werewolf will never go back to his words! That’s how they uphold their pride! So how come that James kept on taking back his words? “I am not a traitor! You know that I can’t betray you no matter what!”“How can we know that?” Georgina declared. “Those werewolves who attacked us were trying to find you, the Luna, and you are the Luna of this pack! Stop trying to deny it when the whole pack heard what
