Elliot’s POVNarrow Escape “Queen Aurora.” It takes everything in me to not ask a silly question. She is still the queen after all. “I see. You are now Lila’s personal guard?” “No. Alpha Kelvin only asked me to guard her given the recent tides between the upper council and the lower council.”“Explain to me Elliot, if your friend Lila is not pregnant, why exactly does she have all of this special treatment?” “She has not been accorded any special treatment Queen Aurora.”“It seems the rest of you now take me for a fool.” She steps closer to Lila. I dig my toenails into the ground. “We would never dare to do that Queen Aurora. Not even in our wildest dreams.”“Hmm. Then your dreams must be very vivid. Right?”I gulp in air. “Anyways, against all odds, I came down here myself to confirm if, what’s her name again, Lila? Yes.”“I came to confirm if she is pregnant or not. And my eyes are sure not deceiving me.”She sat close to the bed and placed her palms underneath Lila’s palms

Aurora’s POVFindingsI expected Kelvin to seem excited and ecstatic. On the contrary, he looks like one who’s been informed about a burial. “Did we lose the baby?” My tone is neutral. “We? Aurora, we?”“She’s a surrogate Kelvin. Her baby is ours. Her heirs are the future of the clan. So yes, did we lose the baby?”“You seem to be forgetting that we were in the midst of a session before Lila broke down.”“Oh? So she merely broke down? The whole stage play was simply because of her body strength?”“Just how heartless can you be Aurora? For the moon goddess’s sake, we almost lost her!”“The only reason I’m currently concerned if she lives or not is due to the purpose she was brought here in the first place. If she does achieve her purpose, I promise you her life status has nothing to do with me.”“I can’t say I’m disappointed. I have always known you to be this person all along. I only hoped you’d be. Better in later times. An expectation I do not see coming to pass anytime soon.”“A

Alpha Kelvin’s POVConfirmedEver since Lila stepped into this palace, I have never for once lifted her in this position. I have no idea if she has indeed added weight, it would have confirmed my suspicions or if this really was her size.Every step to the royal sick bay feels like eternity. It doesn’t keep the anxiety pooled in my stomach from getting worse. Something near dread.“Alpha Kelvin?” The chief royal nurse stood at a spot with concern etched on her face. “Attend to her immediately.” At once, they scoop her from me, not even waiting for a stretcher or all of their equipment . They slammed the door shut in my face and I am forced to stay off wondering what the moon goddess will decide about my faith.The longer seconds span into minutes and minutes into hours, the worse I ever felt. I tried my best to keep still but my body seems to be listening to commands my brain is not giving. I couldn’t seem to understand anything. There’s a myriad of emotions flowing through me all

Queen Aurora’s POVI sat there in the middle of the podium watching all of her displays intently. I know a pregnant woman when I see one and she doesn’t seem to be faking her symptoms. This only spells one thing for me: DOOM. A predicament I cannot let happen. It’s bad enough that this stupid Elliot girl managed to escape my plans and have placed me in such a terrible standing with Kelvin. Which means he may most likely give an order to keep me off boundaries. To make matters worse, Fiona, my aide seems to have a deeper liking for this wench. She’s out of the list when it comes to the loyal hands that could help me see my plans come to pass. I watched as Kelvin attended to her, happiness in his eyes. The rest of the elders, they all seem as excited as Kelvin. I have to do something. I sat there rooted at the spot unsure of exactly what to do when I decided to take action. “Fiona, get the royal nurse fast!” Kelvin bellows. I walked up to where she was and I stood. I tried my bes

Lila’s POV“Belarus never tolerated disrespect young woman. Are you not ashamed that you are rebelling against his legacy and his policy?” “Ha! The same man that you murdered because of this same policy. Now, all of a sudden, you expect me to uphold the policy! Bunch of bloody hypocrites! How sad! To think that somewhere in my heart, I expected some of you to have at least changed.”“If not for anything, for the damage your costly mistakes has impaired to the clan. But no, apparently some of you are just fools with the opportunities to lead.”“Watch how you address the members of the council, we can place a judgement on you even in the presence of the Alpha!”“I dare you then. Go on. Pass the judgement.”They swallow and they stare at each other. “No one? Not any of you that speaks so vilely can be bold enough? Ok then. Since the necessary conditions of the members of the council is boldness and Elliot is beyond bold. Just like her father, Belarus.”“I confer the title of the head o

Kelvin’s POVKilling all of them that challenged my authority feels far better than I ever imagined. It has been so long since I dared to put them in their place. The silent shocks on their faces sends a different kind of thrilling emotion down my spine. “Alpha Kelvin. Thank you for your leadership. We dusky appreciate.” Another one of them says, beads of sweat are dropping from his forehead. “As expected. And I must thank the rest of you as I would like to assume you would be good followers and will consider the interest of the members of the clan in a situation like this the next time.”“Yes Alpha Kelvin. We most definitely will.”“Good. Invite the members of the upper council in as you leave. Remember, not a word should escape the lips of anyone of you. I will not hesitate to fish that person out no matter what it would cost me and that is not an empty threat.”“Yes Alpha Kelvin. Thank you.” They all scurry out of the royal chambers and silence envelopes all of us again. “Fion

“Have you ever, at any time at all, and I mean any quantity at all, been involved in the sale of drugs to clients at the club?” “No, I haven't.” “Have you ever seen drug sales going down at the club?” “No, I have not..” “Have you ever been asked to transport drugs from any location to the other by the club management?” “No, I have not..” “Have you ever hidden any drugs in your underwear or-” “What kind of stupid question is that?” Mercedes had been taken from the airport, along with Ruby and Gabi, down to a local police station where she was being questioned by Freddy, the lackadaisical, lazy, and disinterested agent. She was distressed, and it seemed her baby could also feel her tension because he hadn't stopped crying since. She was trying to pat his back and calm him down while answering the questions she'd been asked when she'd gotten sick of it. “Listen, ma'am, I'm just doing my job.. I have to ask questions, even the uncomfortable ones, because you are a major

***LOS ANGELES, USA***“1..2..3.. Now!”The Los Angeles FBI, led by Mia and Riot, had surrounded Tequila for three long hours, watching the going-ins and coming-outs, working with the intel they had gotten from Frank, the insider snitch, and confirming the things he said. Today was supposed to be the meeting of the top distributors in the cartel, which Frank had said would be where they'd discuss the way forward for their organization.This, Frank had said, was the best time to bust them, because there was going to be too much evidence to nab them with illegal gun possession, cocaine possession, prison escapees, etc. Now, at exactly 8 am, Riot had sounded a call on her walkie-talkie to signal that they were to move in at that exact time, and all the agents had come out from their various places of hiding and disguise all over the surroundings of the strip club, with their guns drawn, and we're charging towards all the entrances to the club.Leading them were Riot and Mia, the ones wh

“Gabi, can you stop acting like a girl and be a man, for God's sake?”“Hey, I'm doing this for you, quit acting like you won't wince if I went any harder,” came the response.Ruby was sitting before Gabi as he tried to clean up her face which had been messed up by her fight with Les Latinas De La Muerte at the hospital, and her face was so fucked up that it scared Gabi to Ben touch it, even with the tissue, for fear that he would hurt her or further damage her. This fear had made him keep dabbing softly and inefficiently at her face instead of wiping the blood away, and Ruby had tolerated him enough.Mercedes, sitting in the same room as them, breastfeeding Junior, looked on and smiled at them, shaking her head.She'd gotten her joy back due to two major things; one, the birth of Junior, her long-awaited bundle of joy, and two, the promise her aunt, Aylla Pedro, had made to her when he said she would try to help Gio gain his freedom again.And so, feeling good again, she was able to c

***LOS ANGELES, USA***“Sign here, Frank..”Riot and Mia had pulled the necessary strings to get the documents that would exempt Frank Gallas from any investigations into Tequila when the people involved in the drug cartel were being arrested and rounded up.They had brought him to their office and he was now seated in an interrogation room which had a long table and a few chairs.They wanted to wrap up this case as soon as possible, nipping it in the bud before it would drag into weeks, months, and possibly, years... They had been briefed on how it had started as child's play under the original handlers, and how it had spiraled and developed into a dangerous, 'playing with fire’ situation because the previous handlers had failed to grab the situation by the scruff of the neck. It had resulted in deaths and many other eventualities which could have been avoided. And so, Mia and Riot were keen on avoiding the mistakes of their predecessors.“Well, hold on, I need to peruse the document

Upstairs at the hospital, there was chaos and fear; no one could leave, either with the elevators or the staircase, because the gunfire they'd been hearing had been going on downstairs and by the gate, in the same area where they were supposed to escape from. The gunfire had gone on for about thirty minutes and even when it ceased, they didn't dare to even attempt to step out.The only thing they could do was panic.The nurses and doctors who would normally be the ones telling patients to 'calm down’ were now the ones who were near tears. Everyone was now following their religious inclinations; the Pentecostals were praying to God/Jesus, the Catholics were praying to Mary, the Muslims were beseeching Allah, and the traditionalists were shedding tears of hopelessness to their gods.Gabi was probably the most panicky of the entire bunch, and not just because he had learned that Mercedes had given birth, but because he wasn't built for such high-pressure situations. He was sweaty and unc

***LOS ANGELES, USA***Mia Compton and Riot Langston were seated in Riot's Ford truck with the fellow who had accosted them at the coffee shop and listening to what he had to say.Mia was in the backseat, while Riot, who sat in the driver's seat, kept her full stare on the man in the front passenger seat as he spoke:“My name is Frank Gallas... I worked at Tequila for many years as one of their major distributors-”“Tequila doesn't deal in wholesaling drinks, so what the fuck are you talking about, 'major distributor’?” Mia impatiently cut in, not trusting this fellow one bit.As she said this, Riot touched her hand gently, as though to say 'Calm Down’. This singular action sent shivers down Mia's spine and made her obediently seal her lips. Riot had gained such a heavy influence over her in such a short period that even she couldn't explain or justify it.“When I say I was a distributor, ma'am,” Frank continued with a half smile on his face, “I didn't mean of drinks... I mean of drug
