Jade looked up from the file loudly dropped in front of her on the huge wooden table to the man standing in front of her.“Go on, open it.” His voice finally said.He looked calm and collected, but his stance said the complete opposite.“What is this?” She asked as she picked it up. “You did a check on Fletcher!? The fuck is wrong with you Xavier!?”“You forgot to do it so I did it for you.” He adjusted a bit.“I didn't ‘forget’. I told you to stay away from him!” She angrily hit her first on the table.“You need to focus.”“On what exactly? I handle my empire peacefully. I do everything to keep us safe.” She sighed. “Xavier, stop crossing me.”“Read the file.”“No.”“Please, just read the goddamn file!”Jade rolled her eyes and picked it up again.“He is clean.” She looked up from the file.“And?”“What do you mean ‘and’?”“A man can only be this clean.” His eyes never left hers.Jade slowly dropped the file. “I won't let you do this.”“C'mon Jade! It's right there.”“Get out.” She s

Jade walked into the house and looked around.Everyone must be in bed already, and by everyone, her boys and their father.She walked to the stairs, trying not to lose balance because she was tipsy.Perhaps drunk?Her hair as in a little mess even though she tried to fix it with her fingers which didn't work too well.Jade took off her heels and held it in her hands, mounting the stairs.She was humming a sound as she continued to climb, making her way to her floor.“Seems like you had fun.” Xavier's voice abruptly stopped her, making her lose balance but he quickly caught her before she fell.“Oh hey, it's you.” She poked his nose.“Too much fun.” He helped her to her feet. “Can you walk?”“Of course I can.” She smiled. “This is the best day of my life.”He closely followed her behind. “I highly doubt that.”“I promise!”“Okay, how about our sons?” “My boys!” She gasped. “I forgot to tell them bedtime stories.” She turned to him. “I have to see them.” She made a sad face.“They are

Jade looked at herself in the huge mirror.Why is she doing this again?She has never done this.Why is she allowing a stranger into her home?At first, it was because she was lonely.But she can have any man she wanted.And then, it was because he was a sweet man and he makes her smile, in a good way.But then, she saw the look in Xavier's eyes when he saw them together.And now, it is because of him.She has this dangerous urge to piss him off.What can he do?Well, a lot.But he won't because he doesn't have that privilege anymore.So he won't dare do anything stupid, right?The red dress she wore perfectly caressed her curves and highlighted her breasts.“Ma'am, Xavier is here.” Her guard announced.What? What is he doing here?She unlocked the door and he walked in.“Your little boyfriend is here. With his daughter.” His eyes made a whole body scan.“Great.” She said. “I don't need you to personally tell me that, I have people for that.”“Is that for the playdate? Don't you think

“C'mon Jade, just let me do this.” Xavier pleaded some more. The boys are in school and he wants to pick them up for the very first time but she's not having any of it. Jade popped a new bottle of wine and poured it into a big wine glass. Xavier was seated on the other side of the bar. The whole house felt different to him, like he was some sort of stranger. Like he has never stepped foot in the house before. “No.” She swirled her wine and gently sipped it, appreciating the taste with a nod. “So what's your plan? To keep me locked up in here forever? At a point, I'd have to get out of here. Imagine how happy the boys will be, seeing me there. Isn't that why I'm here after all?” Jade sipped the wine again, looking at him over the rim of the glass. That was when she noticed the gold band coldly wrapped around his finger. Why is he wearing his wedding ring!? What the fuck is he trying to do? Whatever is going on in that head of his, it will not work. “I'll go with

HEELS, HELP AND HOPES “You're late.” Santos said the moment she closed the door behind her.Kim jumped in fright with a gasp. “What is wrong with you!?” She glared at him but probably didn't notice because of how dim the room room and also, she was standing at a distance to him. “What are you doing here?” Her legs started moving towards him.“Waiting for you.” He looked at her, slowly making her way to him.“It's inappropriate that you're sitting on my bed. No, scratch that. It's totally not cool that you came in here without my permission.”“There was no one to give me one when I came, plus I didn't intend on asking for any permission.” He smiled a little when she stopped in front of him.“This should never happen again.” She said. “And the balls of you to make yourself so comfortable in my room.”“I'm interested to know what will happen after we get married. You do know that you'll have to move in with me, right?” His smile widened.Kim walked away from him to the closet. “Well bef

OLD HABITS DIE HARDKimberlee tugged in her sleeping children and pulled the duvet over them with a smile.“Do you even know the crazy thing?” Kim turned to her friends who were stuffing themselves with ice cream.“Huh?” Pamela looked up at her.“This is so delicious.” Zita said with a mouth full of strawberries. “Do I get to eat this everyday?”“I don't know.” Kim sat in front of them. “Kim, you have to make them treat us like this every single day.” Pamela moved closer to her with the bucket of ice cream in-between her legs.“I'm pretty sure you will be well fed and you'll have too much of everything, trust me.” Kim smiled at her.“Is it just me or do you look thinner? Are you sure you eat enough?” Zita worriedly asked. “Well, I can't remember when last I had a really good meal. I'm not allowed to eat too much because I can't afford to be ‘overweight’ as a princess to be and the future queen.”“Don't tell me these people are starving you because they want you slender.” Pamela frow

NOT THE CROWN, JUST THE MAN He couldn't just be straight forward and tell her what exactly the surprise was. Kim prayed it had nothing to do with the queen or his dearly betrothed, Stefania. So what on earth would he surprise her with? Kimberlee stopped midway down the stairs when she spotted her kids and sisters in the enormous living room. “Zee! Pam!” She almost missed a step but still kept her focus on them as tears welled up in her eyes. Pamela and Zita's attention snapped towards her and they immediately flew into her arms. “Kim!” They both sadly chorused. They slowly released her to wipe their teary faces. Pedro ran to hug her legs. “Mama.” “Oh my sweet baby.” Kim picked him up. “I've missed you so much.” She placed kisses on his face. Santos leaned against a pillar in the fifth floor to watch the reunion. Kimberlee walked to the rest of her children who were seated on the couches and knelt in front of them. “You guys won't give me a hug?” She sadly asked. Margaret

DIFFERENT AND DIFFICULT DREAMS Kimberlee wore the heels but couldn't get up.“C’mon doll, you can do it.” Kiki encouraged and she tried one more time but couldn't.“I don't think this is for me, these heels are too high.” Kim sadly sighed but Ana walked to her.“Don’t be deceived honey, heels are meant to be possessed, they are not made for you. So make it yours.” Kiki swayed his hips with the snap of his fingers.“Maybe you need a little boost.” Ana offered her a hand and pulled her to her feet.“How do you even walk in those so easily, Ana?” Kim frowned.“Took years of practice. I think you're a fast learner, don't worry.” Ana said to her.Kim wobbled a little but slowly gained her balance. “I don't think I'll ever get used to this.”“There you go.” Kiki stood next to her. “Just follow my lead, do what I do.”Ana stood on the other side while Kiki started some few movements.Kim almost tripped and fall but Ana caught her just in time. “Nah, I'm not doing this.” She shook her head.

PICTURE PERFECT PRINCESSKimberlee tossed around in the bed, hearing some noise in her sleep.When she finally decided to open her eyes, Rhoda and some strangers were busy in the room. Some were writing things down while other kept inspecting the room.“What the hell is happening?” She quickly sat up.“Good morning, my lady.” Rhoda walked to the bed and bowed. She had a big book in her hands.“What are you doing in my room? And who are those people moving around without permission?” Kim angrily asked. “What are they doing?”She thought no one could enter her room without her permission.“My apologies.” Rhoda kept her head bowed. “But I received strict orders from the queen.” She held up the book for Kim. “This is your training schedule.”“What is that?” Kim took the book and opened it. After a short while, she looked up at Rhoda. “I have to learn all of these before the wedding? This is too much and the wedding is just in a few weeks.” She frowned.“The queen said to ensure you learn

HORNY WITH A HINT OF RUM Kimberlee snapped herself out of it and quickly pushed him away.He was wearing suit trousers and a black long sleeve but the suit jacket was abandoned on the bed.“What are you doing here?”She looked around the room. “We need to talk.”“Who let you in, huh?” He ruffled his hair. “Seb? Or Ana?”“That's not important.” She turned to him. “So this is where you come to hide from the world and your problems? And I assume I'm part of the problem?” She questioned.“This is where I escape the world. This is my happy place. But here you are, when I'm trying to escape you!” He replied.“I believe this room was here long before you walked into my life.” Kim felt herself loosing her patience gradually.“Well consider yourself added to the list.” He gave her a tight reply.Kim looked at him with an angry chuckle. “Are you kidding me right now?”Santos sat on the bed. “What do you want?” He gulped from the bottle in his hand.“You're too drunk to talk.” “I'm not drunk.”

I AM LOST, THANE. Keondra walked for miles and miles until she spotted a huge building, proudly standing where her grandfather's palace sat. “What in the…” She sighed, it was getting dark already but the palace was as bright as day due to the lights all around. She quietly observed the premises from afar. The palace was heavily guarded and tightly surrounded. How will she get in? The king might be related to her but she will not recognize her, nor accept her. Keondra gathered courage as she headed towards the huge iron gates. “What is your purpose here?” A guard approached her. “I'm here to see the king.” She said. “The president is currently unavailable.” He answered. “Kindly leave, right now.” “Please, I really need to see her.” “She doesn't just take in strangers. If she accepts anyone that comes to her without an appointment, she'd have met the whole of Kraxuris.” He answered and walked away. “Now leave, you're trespassing.” “I am the granddaughter of Lord Casper.” She

AN ABOMINATION? “I need to go to the palace.” Keondra said to him. As usual, Hilda was sleeping on the dashboard. They've been on the road for hours and Thane still has no intention of stopping. “What business do you have with the palace?” He asked. “I need to meet someone.” “I had no idea you know anyone in the palace. Tell me, who are you?” “I'd rather not say.” “You still don't trust me?” “It's not the matter of trust.” “Tell me.” “You won't believe me.” “I don't think you're delusional.” He briefly looked at her. “Crazy, maybe.” “And what if I tell you that I am of two royal blood?” Hey eyes never left him. Thane was quiet at first before his eyes silently met hers again. “Then you'd be an abomination.” “An abomination?” She repeated. “There has been so much conflict between the empires over the years, Keondra. To maintain peace, every empire strike out on its own. Do you know what that means? Even resources, the empires don't trade. Vroudia isn't what it was anym

GET OVER YOURSELF.Keondra slowly woke up from sleep due to the loud banging sound she heard in her sleep.She thought it was another nightmare but it didn't stop until she woke up.“Wh-what is happening?” She gave a short yawn, looking around.“Guess who's finally awake?” Thane picked another nail and continued hammering the door on one knee.He was fixing the doorhandle she broke the previous night.“Care to join us, princess?” Hilda walked past her with a bucket of water.“What is going on?” She asked again.“It's called chores,” Hilda loudly said to her. “Let me guess, you didn't do any of it back then?”“No? We had servants for that.” She peeled the blanket off her body.“What does that even mean?” Thane finally stood up.“You will not get it.” Hilda walked back again with a bucket of water and stopped beside her. “There's a stream if you want some water, here.” She gave her a cup of water.“Thanks.” Keondra gulped it down. “I will find the stream.”“Thane is making breakfast, I

DEMONS AND DEALS. Keondra cautiously looked around when the truck diverted into the woods, following a rough track. “What's happening!?” Hilda jerked up from sleep when her head hit the dashboard. “Ow!” Her palm went straight to her forehead. “Will you drive more carefully please!?” Keondra turned to him. Thane took a glimpse of her little face. “Has anyone told you how bossy you are?” “Wolves are fierce.” She shrugged. “We are domineering in nature. It is our default.” “How about I take fighting lessons from you?” He asked. Keondra looked at him like he just made a joke. “You can not be serious right?” “But I am.” He responded. “She will give you some lessons.” Hilda chirped in. “But it won't be for free.” “Demons and deals.” He chuckled. “What do you want?” “Shelter and food.” Hilda answered. “You're asking for too much.” The truck slowly stopped. “Don't get in way over your head.” “C'mon, it's a fair deal.” “In case you haven't noticed,” He opened the car door and jum

THE ROGUE KING. Keondra turned to look at him. “I know who you are!” Hilda repeated and walked to him. His eyes and fangs returned to normal as he packed his hair and walked back to his truck. “I know you!” Hilda followed him. “No you don't.” He climbed into his truck. “The Rogue King.” She smiled. “You are the Rogue King.” “You don't know what you are saying, go home.” He started the vehicle but Keondra planted herself in front of it. “Tell your friend to move out of the way.” He looked down at her. “She can make her own decisions.” Hilda shrugged. Keondra wiped the blood off her face with the back of her palm. She raised the sword and placed it over her shoulder. “Get down.” She commanded. His fingers tightened around the wheel. “I will hit my gear and never look back.” He growled. “I dare you.” She looked him straight in the eyes and hold it. He turned off the truck and got down. “What do you think you're doing?” He grabbed her arm. “All we need is a ride,

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!It was almost an empty cottage, save for the multiple little plants growing in cups, and buckets of water kept at a calculated distance.Keondra quietly studied the cottage as they went in.“How long have you stayed here?” She asked.“We move a lot. My brother and I aren't welcome in many places. But Kraxuris can not turn on it's kind so this is safest place for us. We choose to stay in isolated places and move around a lot for safety.” Petra replied.“Your safety, or safety of the people?” Keondra asked.“Kee!” Hilda looked at her and back at Petra. “Don't listen to her.”“No please.” Petra smiled. “A wise man once said to me; all it takes is the right question. I like your friend. Please, sit.” She stopped when they reached a thick rug on the wood floor.“Are you sure your brother is fine?” Hilda asked.“Pay no heed to him. He likes to wallow in bitterness. I tell you, ain't nothing I haven't done to cleanse him so such dark spirit.” Petra poured them warm tea.“

(Willow's POV)"Hello" A deep masculine voice knocked me out of my deep thoughts."S-sorry" I stammered. Thank God it wasn't my boss.I adjusted myself in the seat and looked up at the fine man staring down at me."Are you okay?" He asked in the sweetest voice."Y-yeah" I found myself stammering again. What is wrong with you Willow?"I was just distracted, please, let me have your items" I quickly changed the topic.He gave me a small smile and emptied his shopping basket on the counter and I did my job as the sales lady.The supermarket I work at is the biggest in the suburb so I get good pay."You look pale, are you sure you're okay?" He asked again.Dude, mind your business, pay up and get the fuck out."I'm good" I tried so hard to smile back. "Cash or card?"Regardless of the extra make up I had on to hide my pale skin, he noticed!I do so well to wear baggy clothes most times to hide my skinny body."Card" He gave me his card but it was double. I looked up at him in confusion

"Hey little sis!" Leviathan smiled at a poor miserably looking Willow, who was tied to a huge tree in a strange mist forest.Blood dripped from her nose and mouth to soak her white dirty and crumbled up shirt."H-how.." She looked around and spotted Terra not to far from her."Mum!" She called with all the might in her."Shh" Leviathan smirked."What are you doing with my mother!?" Willow cried.She looked over to Terra who was on her knees, wrapped in chains."I swear to you, you'll regret this!" Willow angrily said."But this isn't my fault!" He deeply laughed. "You have yourself to blame" He walked over to her mother and lifted her chin to look her in the eyes."Let her go!" Willow shouted."She's really pretty" He looked back at Willow, who's eyes were filled with furry."I warned you Willow. I really did. I told you not get involved. I begged you to let me handle it with Jordan" He slowly walked back to her."W-what?" She looked confused as tears dripped down her face."I told yo

Jordan brought out a tray of pies from the oven and quickly threw the mittens on the counter in his huge kitchen at the colony. He set one in front of Willow on the island in the kitchen. "It's hot" He warned removing the apron he had on. "I like it hot" She gave him a weak smile and picked a fork. He sat opposite her. Willow looked skinny and pale. Her lips are now purplish and her pupils turned blood red. "Why are you looking at me like that?" She let out a dry cough. She was so skinny that her collarbones were very much visible and so were her ribs. "Nothing, you're beautiful" He smiled. She has been living with him in his house for a month now and her recovery is very slow. "Don't flatter me" She chuckled while picking up a mirror. "I look terrible. My mum will kill me" "You look the same to me" He shrugged. "My eyes are red now. I look like a skeleton with a single layer of skin. And I have this annoying urge for blood. Am I still a werewolf?" She sadly asked. "Yes, of c

Jordan growled in pain as he tried to move back but her grip was too tight. Japh quickly kicked the door open. "Jordan!" He worriedly called. "Get the doctor, Star" He commanded and tried to free Jordan from her grip. A doctor rushed in and immediately sedated her. "You need to get that check immediately" The doctor ordered pointing at Jordan's wrist as more nurses rushed in. "I'm fine" He looked at Willow. She is sleeping again. He hated it. She needs to be awake. Japh dragged him out of the room. "She opened her eyes" He said to Star and Japh as the doctor attended to his wound. "She looked me in the eyes" He smiled. "For ten seconds" "How is that even possible?" Japh paced around. "I don't know, I don't care! All that matters is that she is alive" Jordan replied. "This can be a bad thing. Claudia bit her" Star sighed. "She might be a threat" "No she isn't," Jordan sternly said. "She bit you," Japh reminded. "We don't know how dangerous she is now" "It's a normal reactio

"She's dead. We lost her" "What!?" Japh exclaimed. "No, that's no right" "What do you mean!?" Star frowned. "You can't be serious" "We couldn't get the venom completely out of her because it has completely invaded her bloodstream. I'm sorry" The doctor walked away. She's dead. We lost her. It kept on echoing in his head. He took a shocking step backwards. "Jordan" He heard Japh's voice but it sounded like he was under water. He could hear his wolf whimpering in agony. Jordan slumped back into his seat. He couldn't believe it. He didn't want to. Just like that, he lost her. Then suddenly, anger boiled in him. All he saw was red. Leviathan took everything from him! He killed Genzzi and now, Willow. Star walked into Willow's ward. She laid on the table in blood as the nurses cleaned her up. She looked limp, pale and dead. "Oh Willow," Star said sadly. "Everyone get out" Jordan suddenly barged in. "Get out!" He growled and walked to her body. Star slowly closed the door

Claudia quickly entered the cell and held Willow by the throat. "Stay where you are or I'll sink my teeth in her neck and trust me, she won't survive" She threatened. Jordan halted. His eyes fixed on Leviathan filled with anger and hate. He slightly looked at Rowan who was still unconscious on the floor. "We can have a clean transaction here" Leviathan smiled, walking closer to Jordan. "I don't know what happened out there but I'm sure you came for her" He pointed at Willow. "And tell your boys to stay out of this" "Cut the trap Leviathan. I'm not giving you what you are asking for" Jordan huskily said. "Then I guess you wouldn't mind" Leviathan signaled Claudia and she was about to bite Willow but Jordan took a quick forward. "Calm down," Leviathan chuckled. "Hand her over, I'm asking nicely" Jordan growled. "Give me the moon stone, I'm asking nicely" Leviathan replied. "And don't try anything smart" He added when Jordan didn't say anything. "I know, the pack is second to none a
