Chapter: 64. ArrestedDamian ReidI realise I've actually lost it when I find myself going to River's social media for the first time. He has a considerable number of more than ten thousand followers, and a lot of pictures. I scroll through the first few solo pictures, coming across pictures with Ethan and Lucas.I notice River doesn't have any photos with other people, only his two friends, another guy his age only, no photos with his family at all.I toss my phone to the passenger side seat, a big sigh escaping unwillingly.Just then an alert goes in the police mobile car that I am in, and I quickly switch the accept button, immediately ready to speed up."Officer Damian there's some trouble in XY store. You can handle it without backup." the 9-1-1 service voice says."On my way." I say, siren switched on and racing already.I speed up, using the emergency siren and lights as I arrive at the location in two minutes. I get down from the car, one handcuff in my pocket and the gun ready for any emergency as

Chapter: 63. Call 9-1-1Damian ReidI drink a glass of water as soon as I get home."Um... Damian." Linda shows up from behind. When I look at her she avoids my gaze."Yeah?" I ask.Her gaze turns into a glare as she looks at me, "I am moving to stay with Stella if you behave this way for long! Ever Since River's matter came you've been avoiding me and not even talk with me! You are so heartless for avoiding him like this. He came here today and he looked so dejected. I had to ask him to leave because you asked. But I don't like what you are doing.""I already told you many times to stay away from my dating life. It's none of your business." I say, my voice coming too hard.Her eyes fill with tears, "Alright then. Act this way so you lose everyone around you. Just because you had a tough past related to the same underworld work doesn't mean you can categorise River as a demon as you are doing now and ignore him! He loves you too much to deal with y

Chapter: 62. Billiard TableRiver LockhartI trace my finger across the wood of the pool table, Ethan and Lucas are seated on one of the sofas, looking at me in concern. My phone goes to voicemail after dialling Damian's contact number, for the twentieth time."There was a reason why the public hated my family so much." I say, breaking the silence in the game room at the mansion.Ethan looks at me, after hearing everything from me, both of them still remaining by my side. It's only after demanding for a clear explanation did my dad tell me everything he's doing, the number of illegal things he handles uncountable almost."Do you think dad will trust me and let me handle some of his legal businesses if I remain and handle the mess today? If I continue looking after his black businesses?" I ask.Lucas shrugs, "That man is unpredictable."Ethan stands up and walks to the pool table. He takes a red billiard ball from the lot in the middle of the table and

Chapter: 61. MisunderstoodRiver LockhartMy hand freezes mid air, looking at Damian who looks at me and then at the gun I am pointing at him. I quickly withdraw, the gun dropping on the ground, my hand that held it shaking a little."I- I am sorry, I-" I stutter out.His eyes move towards Ethan and Lucas, "Get out of here with your friend, I'll have to arrest you if you stay longer.""Y-yeah." Ethan pulls me from behind."Damian-"He cuts me off, "I'll lure out the officers around the corner, just get out of here."He walks past me to the back of the casino while I push Ethan away and run towards Damian. I hold his sleeve and pull him to face me."I didn't know-""I didn't know either." he looks down at me with cold eyes, not ready to listen to me, "I didn't know you could... lie and pretend this much."No words come out of my mouth as he says that. There's a lot to say, lot to apologise about. But what can I say? It sound

Chapter: 60. Run AwayDamian ReidI run into the casino along with my team members. We've surrounded it with a plan and aim our rifles as we ask the customers not to move. My mind is not in one place as I stand besides the team leader, eyes focusing in and out of the customers, some wearing revealing clothes and some in suits, laughing out their money and gambling as if they grow money on trees."Inspect all the doors and block all the exits!!" the team leader commands us so I quickly walk to the right side of the familiar casino, past the bar where I've met River twice.I tightly hold the rifle in my hands as I stand a little distance away from the back door, ready to check outside and lock it when I notice a middle-aged man wearing a suit, pulling River out of the casino.It feels like a surprise as my eyes stop at his feared and shaken ones. His eyes widen in recognition upon seeing me as he reaches out for the door again but it gets shut from outside. I st

Chapter: 59. The PoliceEthan Reynolds"This f*cker is Aiden." I point at one of the pictures taken from the CCTV footage, "Look. This smiling b*stard. Ugh... We can't find Chase so suddenly but let's go meet Aiden.""Huh?" Lucas looks at me in surprise, we've just left River's apartment complex and I've been analyzing the pictures from the CCTV footage the whole time."Or I can call him." I announce as I dial Aiden's contact."H-how do you have Aiden's number?" Lucas asks."None of your business." I mutter, waiting for the call to reach Aiden. I can't let Lucas know the actual reason I got Aiden's contact into my phone. It was after the physical fight between our groups that I asked one of my dad's men to get me all details about Aiden and thereby I got everything just in case he reached out to hurt Lucas again."Hello?" Aiden says on the other side."What the f*ck are you up to?" I ask, my voice hard as steel. Lucas turns to me with wide eyes. I ignore him and continue talking, "I am Ethan, River's friend.

Chapter: Chapter 95(A/N: Braille system is the raised dot pattern used for blind people. It's not a language but a coding system for them.) I sighed; "This is so complicated. Let's try to find the books he might need." I said. Our conversation got cut off by a little 'bonk' sound and as I looked to my right I saw Bubble beaming at nowhere while holding his leg. I assumed he hit his leg somewhere. "Hello little one." I cooed and pat his head from the same position I was. Then I gently hoisted him up to my lap. "I am sleepy." he said with a pout. "Let's have lunch first and go for a nappy?" I asked and he nodded with the same pout. "You both have the same pout." Bright commented adding; "It's cute, but at the same time hard to resist. Tsk." Bright said with a fake sullen face. I stuck my tongue out at him while Bubble wriggled on my lap. "I am hungry." he said again trying to reach for my hand which was in front of him. When he couldn't find my hand, I moved my hand and touched his, so he caught it

Chapter: Chapter 94I collected the soft plushies which were on the ground and flopped them on bed. Then I walked around picking different shapes of building blocks groaning when I accidently stepped on a triangle shaped block. I could hear tiny giggles and two familiar voices down in the living room. I could also hear whizzing sounds and clickity clack sounds coming from the kitchen. After clearing the room and cleaning up the mess I sighed in relief. Then I went out of the bedroom and walked towards the living room in which I could see both the living room and the kitchen at the same time cause there wasn't a full wall separating the two parts. It was only one fours of height of wall. To my left was the kitchen where Bright was busy making lunch, more like burning my pans. To my right was five year old Bubble; busy playing some unknown game with Joss and Luke. And when I said Luke, it was the same Luke who made an appeal against Bright, the same person who confessed of trying to kill me when I was

***Everleigh is a mute omega who finds herself striving every day to stay away from her pack's bullying, abuse, and harassment. Being taught to hang her head low in front of superior rankers, at the end of the day, she finds herself meeting the guest alpha, Grey, who also turned out to be the alpha of the strongest werewolf pack, the Dark Moon Pack.

Chapter: Chapter 0182Grey and Ash are about to get named as the leaders of the pack. I crumble the paper in my hand and light a candle. Then I hold the candle flame to the paper as it starts burning down the paper till it turns into nothingness. "What are you doing? Burning my room?" Grey asks, coming out of the walk-in closet. He looks so damn handsome if you ask me. The black suit matches his caramel skin, and the way he has combed his hair matches that playful smile of his. 'I am planning to burn the whole packhouse. Does that sound good?' I ask. "Sounds good. But please~ It's the day I finally get named as the alpha." he dramatically complains, walking toward me till there isn't any space between us. 'I can't hear you.' "Hehe. I want your blessings, babe," he says, moving close so that our foreheads touch. I bite my lower lip and nod. He painfully slowly tilts his head and kisses my lips. I close my eyes and move back as he gently presses me on the wall. Grey kisses me for a little while. I feel

Chapter: Epilogue|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| Baby “Alice” was four years old when I was in labour, having my second daughter, who we named “Caroline”. Alice cried for days saying that she didn't want to share her parents with another person. But after a few days, when we let her see the little baby, she fell in love immediately. Taking care of two kids, along with doing my work, became really hard. So Pamela had to look after the two Princesses all the time. Meanwhile, Micah worked hard as a section leader after getting promoted twice. One year after, I got Crowned as the Queen of my kingdom, creating history as the first female omega to hold the throne. The same year, there was a minor rebel in a district that Micah calmed down with his fellow colleagues. He managed it so well that I promoted him from Section Leader to Section Commander. ~.~ "No more kids. Look at this stomach." I poke at my stomach in front of the mirror. "You look cuter now," Micah says. He gets down from the bed and walk

"Our daughter is giving us a grandchild? I am so excited.

Chapter: The Surprise!(mature)|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| A few weeks passed after my birthday celebrations, and everyone was preparing for my coronation. I was in a good mood the whole day, but some rumours made me feel nostalgic and moody. So while in my bath, I splash around the water in frustration. I hear footsteps after a while, and Micah walks inside. "So? What did you find out?" I ask. "It turns out the rumours aren't just rumours. Viscountess Tessa has given birth to a child downtown before death, and the father is a peasant. Other details are unknown to us." he reports to me. "Oh my goodness." I cry out. "What did her parents say?" "They were unaware of the pregnancy." "That means... she left the kingdom a few months back when she got pregnant. She gave birth to her child secretly. Then came back and..." I ponder. "Yeah... Her highness assumes she kept it a secret because the father is a peasant." I stand up in my bathtub, "Micah, we must find out where her baby is!

Chapter: Crowning|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| Duchess WInter got convicted of treason and was to be executed. But I stopped my father from doing so and banished him to Kingdom Neopatras. While that, Prince Patrick forgave her and took her in. The last time I heard... Neopatras was in chaos because of the news that the Crowned Prince was in love with a criminal. I sip on my soup as I glance at my parents. I look at Micah to find him silently chewing on some bread. Even his breathing is extremely silent. Well, it's not like I am any different. I am extra careful with my actions because I know my parents didn't call us here for no reason. They probably have something important to talk about. Either about what happened or about the future of the kingdom. "Now we got to talk." my father breaks the ice. I feel a chill down my spine. I am not sure why I am feeling scared. I hope it isn't anything bad. "A-about?" I ask as if I am clueless. "A few things." he clears his throat. "About everything." he

Chapter: The Aftermath|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| I take quick breaths as I sit on a step and keep my sword aside. I clasp my hands together and stretch upwards to relieve the pain after practising sword art with Micah for the third time this week. I lean against the wall and look up at the sky. The clouds move faster as it is windy today. I take a deep breath and feel the fresh wind running through my nostrils. A peaceful palace is the best. And it feels rather strange to have this much peace after what happened two months ago. It took me one week to wake up after being assaulted by Duke Tyler. When I did, I had no physical strength, and my whole lower half was purple. Still, the scar hasn't left. When I heard that we'd defeated the enemy, I couldn't be happier. My father asked me to take some rest, and he dealt with punishing the ones who were responsible for the treason. Well... almost all were killed by us. But still, their families got banished and executed. Then the alive ones got imprisoned, i

Chapter: The Killing|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| Just then, I hear a whizzing sound in the air. I assume it's Micah, but it comes from a balcony. Baron sky gets hit on his neck and falls to the ground dead. We look at the balcony, only to find my maid, Pamela holding a bow and smiling at her victory. "Aarh!" Duke Tyler yells in anger. "Winter, kill that wench for the better!" he orders Duchess Winter. Trust me when I say it's the most painful thing to witness. My best friend looks at me in guilt. Then she bows her head to my enemy and takes his order. She sprints toward the stairway, and my eyes widen as I look back at Pamela. She looks frightened. "Pam! Run! Run!! Fast! Go!" I yell while blocking another sword slash. I see that Pamela’s shaken by fear and frozen right where she is. And I see my best friend running toward her with her sword. That sight makes my anger take the best out of me. "Winter you betraying piece of shit!!" I scream till my throat hurts. Then I grab my hidden knife from my
