Lily“We are home now, thank you,” I said into the receiver speaking to Gary. We had just left the hospital after Raymond woke up and was monitored for two weeks more before we got discharged. Just like the start, Glory and Gary were of great help and support. His recovery was nothing short of a miracle and I felt so glad that I could throw it in the doctor's face. Gary mused on the other end. “Alright, let me know when you are settled in. Will check back later.” “Yeah, bye,” I said ending the call. I looked up to find Raymond staring intently at me. “Hey, you. Would you like to have your bath first? It feels so good to be home right?” I said glancing around the house like it has been forever. Raymond only grunted in response and headed to his room. I smacked my lips in confusion. He has been this way since he woke up. He wouldn’t talk to me and only respond to my questions with grunts. Unlike the way, he speaks to Drako and Glory. I don’t know if I did something wrong. Nothing se

Lily“I didn’t want to bother you anymore with everything going on with you.” Gary mused with a wide smile on his face as we sat down on a bench. I made a humming sound, stretching out my cramped leg. “Truth is, I needed to get away from that room before I lost my mind. And I must say, thank you for bringing me here.” Since I had missed our intended outing the first time. I couldn’t do much for about a week as I was too preoccupied with the thoughts of Raymond with the fear that something might go wrong while I was away. I eventually caved in when he asked me to go out with him again this week. To my surprise, Gary had brought me to an amusement park. When I asked him why, he said he hoped that I would be interested in all of the things the park has to offer. He only wanted to get into the ride and feel some adrenaline pumping. Now I know how he can maintain such a happy sight every time. Being able to tap into one’s inner child. “How are you feeling?” He asked staring into space.

Lily“How is your day going?” Glory asked cheerily on the other end. I stabbed at my lunch, a dry plate of salad, and shrugged. “Not so good. There is no cream to eat my salad.” I whined. She laughed lightly, “Sorry about that. I am on night duty today. We will get to see later. I made apple pie will bring you some.” “I will appreciate it so much.” I mused smiling. “Alright, I will talk to you later.” The call ended and I went back to the food. I had asked for a salad plate but couldn’t seem to tell the kitchen that they forgot to add cream. I know I should ask I just don’t quite feel deserving of it. It has been two weeks since Glory got me a spot in her brother’s restaurant to work as one of the waitresses. It was unexpected news and I was very grateful when she told me. I got working immediately even though the said brother wasn’t around and had left for a chef convention. The staff are nice and I don’t want to encroach on their generosity. “You will choke if you keep eating

LilyI don’t think I have ever felt so much emptiness in my life as I have felt in the past three days. Every day I wake up feeling hopeful that Raymond will wake up from his slumber. It would have been fair if the doctor didn’t always look so dejected whenever he came by to take a look at him. In his eyes, I can see his intention to tell me to let him go. Or I am probably just imagining things. Either way, I really do not care. Raymond will be on life support for as long as he can until he wakes up, which I am very sure he will. With my head tilted slightly and eyes watching over him sadly, I sighed for the umpteenth time. Nurse Glory whom I have come to make a bit of friendship with peeked her head in. She was out of her scrubs already. “Hey there, Lily.” She smiled gently at me, her eyes landed briefly on Raymond. “Have you had something to eat at all?” I shrugged sighing, “I am not feeling hungry.” I replied. “Where is Drako?” “He is good, he came by to check up on me.” I sm

Raymond“What the fuck is going on?” I bellowed at the sound of guns flying in the air. One of my men, Julian ran into the house panting heavily. “Why is there so much noise outside, Julian?” I asked him. “Tony and his men are here. They have the entire ground covered.” He replied. Lily gasped next to me as she grabbed a hold of my arm. Those bastards! How did they get to find me? I thought we had settled things and I didn't have to worry anymore about them. I know what they are here for and there is no way I will let them have their way. They had bargained for Lily and I had fought them off thinking they had let go. They must have fooled me and have me tailed to make sure they get to me. I let out a string of curses under my breath and held Julian’s gaze. “How close are they to the main house?” “Halfway through the premises.” He said. “Gather the rest of the men. We are going to fight them until our strengths wane. Get all of the ammunition in place.” I instructed and Julian m

Raymond's P.O.VHugo and Stan went to the back of each van they drove and returned with a box containing the ammunition we were supposed to sell to the men before us.The young man, who I learned his name was Chris and also the leader, opened up one of the boxes to inspect the guns inside. He smiled when he felt the texture of one of them.“A shame Dom isn't the one to finalize this sale. This is some good stuff,” said Chris. He picked one of the guns and passed it around for the rest of his men to see.When they were down, he set back down and closed the box. “How many?”“50 boxes in each Van. Each box contains at least 4 different guns. That is two hundred in total,” Stan answered.Chris nodded his head, impressed by the amount of ammunition Dominic had managed to pull for the sale.He whistled softly and a lady dressed in a black lingerie and wearing a mask over her face appeared with a briefcase in her hand.She was shy and uncomfortable. I could tell by how often she would try t

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN ~~FREYA ASHWOOD~~ I forced the slightly chewed vegetables down my throat and finally risked a glance in their direction. My breath hitched. All three of them were staring straight at me. Their eyes felt like daggers pricking my skin. Xavier wasn’t eating. He just watched me with that same unreadable intensity, like he could see straight through my skull . Quinn’s jaw was clenched so tight I could see the muscle jumping, his fork stabbing into his meat like it had personally offended him. Even Ryker kept glancing over, his usual smirk completely gone. Theo cleared his throat. “You know… if they’re bothering you, I can—” “They’re not,” I cut in quickly. Too quickly. “It’s fine. They’re just… protective, I guess.” “Protective,” Theo repeated, clearly not buying it. He leaned back in his chair, studying me. “Freya, you can tell me if something’s wrong. I’m not scared of the Ashwood name like everyone else.” Before I could answer, a shadow fell over our table. Qu

CHAPTER 17~~FREYA ASHWOOD~~The class dragged on for exactly two hours, but we didn’t even get a proper break. One teacher left and another walked in like it was some kind of relay. By the third period, I was barely hanging on—tired, hungry, and still sore from my stupid escape attempt the night before.I snapped back to the present when I heard my name.“F… R… E… Y… A.”Every letter was dragged out by a short, pot bellied teacher, who had somehow appeared right next to my desk. The whole class turned to stare. Heat rushed up my neck and flooded my cheeks.“He’s been trying to get your attention for the last two minutes,” Theo whispered beside me.I swallowed hard and forced a small smile. “Mr. Windster,” I said, reading the name off the plaque on his chest.“Care to answer the question I asked two minutes ago?” His voice was sharp, his face already twisted in a scowl.“I… I got distracted for a second,” I mumbled.His eyebrow shot up. “Distracted by what?Thoughts about the murderou

~~FREYA~~I stood under the shower, allowing the cold seep into my skin.They had challenged Damien, yet again. “We stay and she stays” Quinn had said with a finality to his words.. “The Blackthorn pack will not wage a war. I can assure you”“You seem to be unnerved by the chaos you blindly caused!” Damien had spat with irritation. I hadn’t missed the pure loathe that crossed Damien features as his gaze landed on me. His eyes had screamed. “It’s your fault” before he stormed out.None of them had said a word to me that night. They had only assigned a maid to see me off to my room and placed more guards right in front of my room windows. When I peaked out this morning, two guards still paraded the spot.The idea of escaping had died.I couldn’t afford to, not anymore. I’d stay and see how the moon goddess decides my fate but one thing, I would never accept to be Luna to my brother. I will not be part of such incest. I scrubbed the dirt off my skin, mentally preparing myself for anoth

CHAPTER FIFTEEN~~QUINN ASHWOOD~~I skidded to a stop, my heart hammering frantically against my ribs. I scanned the surroundings where her footstep trails had just led us into. The grey pillars, the massive black gates. They told me all I needed to know. “The Black Thorn Border” I muttered. “Why here?” I heard Ryker ask benind me, his voice tight with frustration.. “..of all places”“She crossed the borders. They’ve taken her hostage” Xavier said, stepping forward. “We have to go around, get to the southern gate and negotiate…” I started, my mind already trying to salvage a tactical solution.“No.” I turned to face Xavier who just said the word. “Xavier, think,” I snapped, grabbing his shoulder. “This isn't a small pack. If we trespass, the Alpha will make an issue out of it especially since we are rivals”.“I don’t have time to be logical, Quinn.” Xavier growled, shaking my hands off as if I were a nuisance. He lunged across the line, his boots thudding onto the soils. “X

CHAPTER 14 ~~XAVIER ASHWOOD~~ Nothing more was said.. The air in the dining hall was already screaming with the tension between us. "I’m going to lose my mind” Ryker muttered, reaching for the grapes on the table. I was about leaving after Quinn when we all heard the crash. The doors burst open. Martha, the maid, stood there, dropping a pile of linens. She was trembling. "Lords," she gasped, her voice thin with terror. "I... I went to deliver the new bedding. The Alpha’s orders for the morning." "Not now, Martha," Quinn snapped, stopping on his tracks as his eyes flashed dangerously. "Get out." "But Lord Quinn..." She swallowed hard. "The door was unlocked. I went in to lay the sheets, but... the window is wide open. The vanity has been pushed aside." My heart stopped. "What are you saying?" I demanded, my voice calmer than I felt. "She’s gone, Lord Xavier," the maid whispered. "The room is empty. Freya is gone." The silence that followed was a thousand times more te

CHAPTER THIRTEEN ~~FREYA ASHWOOD~~ The word rejection hung in the air. Quinn didn’t just flinch; he went deathly still. All the fake politeness vanished. The silver fork in his hand snapped in two with a sharp crack. "You don't get to reject me," he said. His voice dropped into a low, animal growl that made the hair on my arms stand up. "The bond isn't a choice, Freya. It’s a command. One from the goddess herself” "The Goddess is a sadist, then!" I yelled. I pushed my chair back so hard it screeched against the floor. "You are my brother, Quinn! We have the same father. What you’re saying is sick. It’s an abomination I will never abide by." He moved faster than I could blink. One second he was across the table; the next, he was looming over me. He slammed his hand onto the table next to my head, making the plates rattle and dance. His eyes weren't green anymore. They were a dark, glowing emerald, his pupils blown wide with the beast inside him. "You don't have the right to say
