Enora:The kids began to run around the house, screaming at the top of their lungs. I laughed as they chased each other, screaming and toppling over like little dominoes on legs. It had been about three years, and every time I remember those three years, I was filled with so much pain and agony, but there were some rays of hope. I stopped typing and admired the ring on my finger. A beautiful red garnet that had Sapphires and Diamonds around it. It still dazzled me even though I had worn it for three years. Soon, a car pulled into the driveway, and all the kids stopped their laughter and ran to the door, pressing their faces up against the window.“Daddy,” they all said in unison, watching him through the frosted glass, still not tall enough to see through the clear one. It had been three years, and I was still so happy to see Nathan when he came back from work, but now, I had the kids to rival with. The handle turned, and just before he could put his leg through the door, they swa

Nathan:I headed back to the police station with a new worry in mind. My hands trembled, and my breathing was fast and ragged.My phone was buzzing in my hand, and on the screen, I saw a text from Ross.“We have Bridget's. She is in the questioning room waiting for you.”I swallowed hard and stuffed my phone back into my pocket. Reading the message over and over again gave me butterflies, nervous butterflies in my tummy. What I was going to do was simple. Bridget only had to tell me that she wasn't directly involved in Dakota's plans and everything was going to be all right. I just wanted to know that she had no hand in killing my baby. I knew what it was, Dakota, and all I wanted to do was pin this on her. I didn't want to bring Bridget into any more drama. She had been involved in enough.I got to the police station and headed to room 47B, the room Ross had kept Bridget in. Each step there made me tremble. I even had to stop halfway just to catch my breath and reassure myself everyt

Nathan:I left the office, trying my best to put on my brave face.“RoseVine hospital,” I told the driver, even though I didn't need to.He stepped on the gas as soon as he sped down the road towards the hospital.I couldn't lie, my mind was still oscillating, still worried, but one thought made everything worth it. The thought of Enora, sitting up with a smile on her face, waiting for me and our baby, safe and sound.Our baby? I only hoped that it was okay. She was bleeding between her legs, and for a pregnant woman, that was never a good sign.It didn't take long before we got to the hospital, and I got out, each step closer, making my heart race even faster by trying my best to keep my cool. I walked up to the receptionist, and she looked up, remembering me from a few hours ago.“I'm here to see Miss Enora Lopez,” I said, trying my best not to stutter my words, no matter how nervous I was.“I see, but the doctors are still attending to her, and you can't see her right now. I sugg

Nathan:I was asked to stay there with Jasper and... Jasper while Ross and his officers went to the front desk to pull up the files.The first Jasper, from my office, was horrified and furious.Even if his wrists weren't cuffed, he would definitely have punched this other Jasper in the face.On the contrary, the other Jasper was quiet. Sitting by himself, eyes lowered, fingers interlocked with each other, unwilling to breathe even a word.I tried to get a good look at his face, but he refused to lift his head.So much was going on, and I had no idea what to do about any of it.It took several minutes before Ross and the other two officers showed up.“We pulled up their files, but it turns out that both of them have identical files and documents.”“This is identity theft!” Jasper yelled out, almost lunging from his chair towards the other Jasper, but the two officers held him down. “They cannot be someone who looks exactly like me, has the same name as me and has all the same credentia

Nathan:I scooped Enora in my arms, her blood staining my suit, but I didn't care. I placed my ear on her chest, my fingers trembling against his skin. Her heart was beating very faintly, and she was barely breathing. My phone buzzed in my pocket, and with one hand, I was able to fish it out. It was a text from the chief investigator.“The DNA that we found belongs to a certain Jasper who is said to be working at your office.”My jaw dropped. It all made sense now. Dakota was the one who was masterminding the raids on my warehouses, and she was using Jasper to get her dirty work done.I glared at him, but he looked just as pale as I was, but Dakota didn't even budge, turning her head the other way and playing Candy Crush on her phone.I rushed out of my office to the lobby. People gasped seeing me with Enora bleeding in my arms.“Make sure that the manager, Jasper, doesn't leave this place,” I instructed the security guards before I carried Enora into the car and zoomed off.Her skin

Enora:I was happy that I was going to be able to get ready to go to work with Nathan this time around. The past few days, going alone was such a bummer, and it was refreshing to finally be able to button up his shirt in the morning without feeling sad that he was leaving me again.I stood by the door waiting for him, my feet moving. I just couldn't keep still; I was just so excited.It didn't take long before he joined me, put his arms around me, pulled me close and kissed me on my forehead.“Someone is looking very excited,” he teased, tapping my nose, and I blushed a cute pink.“Why wouldn't I be excited?’ I asked. “Do you know how much I have missed going to work with you?”He bent down and kissed me softly on the lips, and I leaned into him, enjoying the taste of breakfast on his lips.“I miss going to work with you, too,” he said softly.The driver was waiting for us outside with the car door open. We got in, holding hands and looking so in love. Today was supposed to be the day

Lily:Trevor was cleaning cups when I entered the coffee shop that morning. I started awkwardly, wondering if I should give him a big smile or an apologetic smile after what happened yesterday.But he decided for me." Hey! Why do you look so gloomy? Is it something a cup of coffee can fix?" He asked.His smile was contagious, I found myself loosening up in no time, reminding myself that this man was as kind as they could get.I nodded, watching him make a cup of coffee from me as I put on my apron." About last night, I just wanted to say that what Mason did was not cool. So I wanted to apologize on his behalf."He chuckled." Well are you not a ray of sunshine? You don't have to worry about Mason and I. I basically grew up with him and I am used to him by now. Thank you though for feeling like you owe me an apology even though you did absolutely nothing wrong" Even with his reassurance, I still felt that little Quaker of guilt in my chest as we fell into conversing about everything

Lily:He was not lying when he said this place was cool. I had taken off my heels midway into climbing up these stairs because I did not want to fall off with them. But he has been patient, helping me hold the heels instead as he helped me up each step.Beneath us, the city lights shone in the most provocative manner. This hall overlooked the city and from where we stood now on the rooftop, we could see everything. The glitz and glamour of Malibu." Breathtaking isn't it? You should see it when it is pitch dark. It looks like they laid waste to the land below and the stars will triumph and shine so brightly in the sky you will wish to be one of them"I looked up, staring at the starless night and wondering how peaceful this place could feel when just down below, so many people's businesses were hanging on to the hope of a donation from these wealthy people." So you have a lot of secrets about you Mr Trevor. Bartender at day, rich mogul at night, would I ever get the chance to know a

Lily: Nothing prepared me for it.Not the constant jabs of Sam telling me that I would stick out like a sore thumb, not the reassurance of Mason that it was another "stupid" event and I did not need to worry about what these people thought.Because the minute I stepped into that hall, all eyes turned to us.Sam fit in almost perfectly, the gold gown she has picked blending with the sea of gold and silver that everyone here seemed to be wearing." Ah! Madame! Is that you?!" She called out softly, rushing over to a really pale old woman and that was it, she was gone." I know it feels like they are staring at you..when I came to one of these with my dad too, that was how it felt too. Like they were staring at me.But I can assure you they are not, each and everyone here is looking out for their potential next buyer, and everyone here is working to please me. Because my father is the biggest donor here at the moment. I can assure you they will barely give you a look" mason whispered bes

Mason:I started having sex with women at sixteen. Pretty late for an everyday teenager, but after that, I took off in the sexual ladder.And yet, somehow, with all these women I slept with, none compared to her in the slightest.Maybe it was that small ache I got in my stomach when she looked at me, or that flutter in my chest I seemed to get whenever she was close.I did not want to rush and term these feelings. But I sure as hell knew it was nothing like what I felt in the past.I was staring at her crying face now, my heart breaking.My manager texted me a few hours ago to say that I had a basketball shoot in New Zealand next week. I was pulling strings to take her with me, because the last thing I wanted was to leave her all alone without me being there to protect her if anything happened." I was not ignoring you, MI amor, I was trying to work. I had a lot to do and I know it must have felt that way but it's not. Okay?"She did not answer, but she did not release her grip on th

Lily:The car was suddenly quieter as he drove through the streets towards the mall.I felt like it was my duty to say something, anything. But just like me, he was still reliving that moment in his head and I knew he did not want to stop.When the mall came into view, and he parked the car, I could not be more grateful. I almost stumbled onto the floor in relief, too tired to beat myself up over my one bold idea in that fucking car.And there was that thought too. The one that wondered if he wanted to continue just like me. If he had feelings enough to want this as much as I did." I have the perfect gown for her, she can check a few more too"I had been so lost in thought I did not realize we were already talking to this grinning attendee.She did not seem to pay me any heed, her eyes locked on Mason in the most seductive gaze I have ever seen.I watched her walk in front of us, a little sway in her steps." I think she likes you" I joked.He hummed, not staring at me, his phone som

Lily:Taylor's words played in my head over and over as I got down from the car, walking over to the driver's seat where he still sat in confusion. The weather was now glossed over in the dark and the tinted windows created the perfect cover for the sin I was about to commit.I was tired of begging to forget this man, I was tired of the incessant look away when he passed me, I hated that I had to act like this man was not what I wanted, and for the first time, I was finally admitting that to myself.I was head over heels in love with him." You still haven't told me what you want to do" he said again, watching me climb into his legs, his eyes circling my curve, hands held back as though he knew that he was going down a very steep hill, touching meant he would not be able to hold himself back, and right now, that was what I wanted." I'm letting go...and I suggest you do the same." I said.I pushed his chair back gently, watching his eyes remain on mine as I bit my lips, my hands reach

Author: 6 years later."Happy birthday to you!" Everyone chorused as Kimberly and her twin sons celebrated their fifth birthday."Now blow out your candles!" Ethan said.His sons were an exact copy of him. Black hair, blue eyes, and perfect bone structure.Ethan was bursting with pride as he watched his sons blow off their birthday candles.A round of applause exploded from the attendees and Fredrick and Ethan yelled out a hurrah!Kurt and Klaus ran up to them. They were both now ten years old and they were cute and they all took pictures Ethan watched from the sidelines as his sons played with Nessa's sonHe never thought they'd both be here. His eyes drifted towards Kimberly. Her stomach was already protruding.She was pregnant with another set of twins and somehow she looked more beautiful than ever.Ethan walked up to her and collected the tray of snacks she was bringing to the kids."I told you to sit still, babe."He said to his wife. It was amazing how stubborn she'd gotten

Kimberly:"She's going to be okay," I patted Leo on the back as we waited in the hallway of the hospital that smelt too much like disinfectant and blood for news on Vanessa."I know, I know. But the doctor said it was supposed to be normal, why does she have to undergo surgery?"Leo asked, his eyes tired and teary."He didn't say she was undergoing surgery, he said she might have to. Meaning there's also a possibility that she won't have to. Understand?"I asked, trying my best to reassure him that it was all going to be okay.He nodded, trying to hold back the tears.I would think he was cute if Vanessa's life wasn't on the line now.He'd run out from the labor room, unable to watch his wife crying in pain ten minutes ago and ever since, he'd not been able to go back inside."Hey man, relax. Everything is going to work out!" Ethan came to stand beside him.Leo nodded and mouthed an inaudible thank you."You are welcome. Just relax. She and the baby are going to be fine." Ethan said,

Vanessa:I couldn't believe I was getting married!I screamed internally as I twirled around, checking out my wedding dress in Ernest's fascination.It was my exact dream wedding gown. Leo had made sure he gave me my dream wedding. From my wedding dress to flowers to the reception.I stared at the beautiful lace bodice and corset of my gown. It was styled by a famous designer in France to my exact taste and extra details that just worked. The gown was a princess ball gown at the bottom and I wore white gloves that made me look like I was straight out of a Cinderella story.I never thought I'd be this happy getting married but here I was…The door to my private quarters opened and Kimberly came barrelling in looking every bit of gorgeous. She was wearing a baby pink dress, one that we'd both chosen for her as the chief bridesmaid. It was a mermaid dress with a halter neck."Sorry it took so long, Ethan wouldn't let go of me but I got it!" She said handing over the huge bouquet of scent

Kimberly:Watching Uncle Greyson get sentenced to a hundred years without parole had to be the greatest day of my life. Better than when I was handed back my company.We'd gotten evidence that he'd been responsible for my father and mother's death. At that moment, you had wanted to beat his face in for turning me into an Alpha simply because of some misguided sibling rivalry.My grandfather had rejected Uncle Greyson as his son many years ago, saying he couldn't accept a child from a hooker. Uncle Greyson had been determined to prove his father wrong. He'd gotten wealth but he'd always wanted to prove that he was a true Fredrick and had killed my father to inherit the family business but my name had already been written in the will as the sole owner of my father's estate. It had sent him into a blinding rage and had also tried to kill me but had failed."He's finally gone forever," Ethan rasped, pulling me into a tight hug that would have shattered my bones if I had fragile bones.I s

Two months later.Kimberly:“Scared?" Vanessa's voice echoed as I stared out the window, anger taking over me."Fear is not an emotion I acknowledge anymore.*I shrugged."You sound ridiculously like Batman." Nessa joked, I glanced over at her and gave her entire black outfit an appraisal.She looked gorgeous in her black corseted gown and her brown locks pulled up into chignon like she was straight out of a BDSM club."We should start getting ready to leave," I said, not bothering to acknowledge her little joke.Today was going to be a very special day, it was why I was wearing all black after all. It was why Tony and Axel were dressed in complete black too.I tried not to let my emotions show.Not one bit."Okay," she sobered up and quickly plucked her purse from the plush sofa.I led her downstairs and got into the car with Tony and Axel in the back seat."Ready?" Tony asked, staring at me through the side mirror, his usually cold gaze, carrying in them a little sympathy.I nodded

Leo:As soon as we stepped into the room I wrapped my arms around her. I press my lips against hers and force them open, I deepen our kiss until she is moaning into my mouth and my cock stiffens.My hands roam her body, the need to touch her skin makes my skin burn. I shoved her on the bed and straddled her. I took a moment to look at her, she looked beautiful, she looked like...mine.I ran my hands down her face and watched as she closed her eyes and leaned into my hands. Moved to her neck where I could feel her pulse thrumming against her skin."Fuck, the things I want to do to you", I whispered as I begin to tug on the little crop top she wore that has been taunting me with the outline of her hardened nipples, I grazed my hands on her nipples and watch as she shudders, the top came off with a fast tug making her breast jiggle, " fuck Vanessa no bra?, You had no bra on?" I swore.She sheepishly looked up at me, her nipples were hard as fuck, and they pointed right at me I bent my h

Hazel’s POVI looked around and all was silent. I walked towards my friends and saw The exhaustion on their faces. Kaya was a badly injured but she was all right and Lorena had numerous scratches on her body and face while Ryder was limping badly on one leg. We looked around at the sea of bodies of the fallen warriors that littered the forest floor, the ones that were not engulfed by the rift that swallowed Ragnar and the King of the Underworld. So many lives wasted and all for what? The wolves that were left alive walked towards us and Ragnar’s wolves stayed away. They stared at us and I could tell that they were contemplating their next move. Their Alpha was dead and they had nowhere to go.Alpha Draco had defeated his brother and could now lay claim to the territory that he gave to him.Suddenly, the black wolf walked forward and bowed low to the ground to Alpha Draco. As he did so, his comrades followed and they all swore their alliance to the alpha.We all shifted into a

Hazel’s POVWe turned and we started to run back to the battlefield field. My eyes were brimming with tears each time I remembered Jasper’s sacrifice. It was too much to bare. How was I going to tell Cassie that her mate what was dead?We both dashed through the forest and soon, we reached the battlefield and the sight that met us was awful. Half of our wolves had been slaughtered by Ragnar and the other monster. I fell silent as soon as I saw the carnage. There were dead bodies everywhere.In one corner, Kaya was fighting beside Lorena and Ryder was covering Cassie. Alpha Draco was going toe to toe with this brother, and as soon as I set my eyes on him, I felt myself gill with rage.Without thinking, I dashed over to Alpha Draco, who was laying weakly on the floor and was about to take a fatal blood from Ragnar.I was able to make it there just in time and I clawed at him with my paw and I did it again and again and again until he started to retreat and move back, away from Dra

Hazel’s POVI dragged Logan’s body away to safety as soon as the rift began to open. The battlefield had become quiet as we all looked at the split in the world of the living and the underworld.Draco and I stared at each other. Was this really the end? Had all our hard work come down to this? The shadows had settled on the ground around the rift and they bowed their heads low to the ground. I looked around the battlefield: Lorena was limping into distance, Jasper had been surrounded by wolves, Kaya had been flung into a tree and she had barely moved, Ryder was at her side and Cassie was laying down on the ground bloodied and bruised. We are all on the ground, defeated, and now, something greater than what we could imagine was emerging from the underworld. I felt so weak and hopeless. What was I going to do? How are we going to stop Ragnar?I turned to look at him and he was laughing manically. As the menacing dark figure rose from the ground. I felt my heart leap into my thr

Ragnar’s POVThe arrival of Draco's army made me grit my teeth and anger. This was not what I had planned. How did Kaya get her powers back? Why was Lorena here? Did my spell not work? Did her unborn child not die?In the midst of all the grey, brown and black fur, I saw a blur of white running towards me.“Hazel!” I said gritting my teeth and anger. I couldn't stop the spell else I would have to start all over but that little brat was getting on my nerves.She pounced towards me and grabbed the Amulet out of midair, But before she could get away, I grabbed her tail and slammed her to the ground.“Did you really think that a weak Omega like you could stop me. You have big dreams. Very big dreams.” I stepped on her hind leg and the bones cracked under the force. She yelped him pain, dropping the Amulet on the ground and trying desperately to get away.“And where do you think you're going?” I grabbed her neck and was about to strangle her when I was grabbed by my shoulder an

Hazel’s POV“Well, that was not as entertaining as I expected,” said Ragnar unenthusiastically. “Well it is over and now it's time for me to take over this world.” I got up and glared at him.“You killed him. You killed Logan. You monster!”“Hazel, I believe you have eyes. I didn't kill your mate. Your friend did.” I watched him place the pieces of the Amulet on the ground and he began to assemble them. “It has been fun brother but now, it is time to end you and take what is rightfully mine.” My fists continued to shake as a stared at him with hate. Suddenly a loud howl erupted from my mouth and pierced the evening sky. I looked up at the moon and its red beam filled my eyes. “You killed Logan and now, you are going to pay!” Ragnar laughed but he didn't seem scared one little bit.“Look here darling, you are no match for me. Take one wrong step and I'll send you to join your beloved mate.” He dropped the pieces on the ground and began to assemble them. And at that i

Hazel’s POVI stared at him in fear and he grinned back wickedly.I grabbed my bag ans the box and took several steps backwards while Jasper jumped in front of me and tried to protect me. Ragnar began to laugh and it sent chills down my spine.“Do you really think that you can protect her?”We soon heard snarling sounds fill the air and when we looked up, shadows were camped in the trees glaring down at us and baring their fangs.“Look here Hazel, I will make this easy. Give me the amulets or she dies.”I soon heard struggling noises and out of the mist, a tall muscular man was dragging Kaya with him.“Kaya!”“Miss Hazel! Tell him to let go of me!”I looked from Kaya to Ragnar and back to Kaya. Ragnar smiled and lick his bottom lip.“So tell me Hazel, what is it going to be? Kaya or the Amulet?”Before I could give my answer, I heard the sound of feet running behind me. I turned back and saw three wolves sprinting towards us.“Ah. My brother finally decided to join the party. I was wo
