I've never seen father this nervous. He always acts speechless and shy whenever he gets nervous, so am pretty sure this guy was a big deal. "I had to handle a certain problem." He said with all manner of seriousness, am shocked, Father never responds firmly to anyone, even mother. No doubt that was addressed to mother. Finally, the two came to a stop, just a few feet away from each other. "Good evening, Alpha Max." He greeted him.

"Mr Shawn, I believe you have my package ready for me." He said. Father  smiled and brought forward the box. The man they called Alpha took a good look at it and frowned like it was not what he had expected, he glanced at me and I shrinked with fear. "Is that all? This wasn't what we had discussed. Mr Shawn." Something bigger than what was in the box, this just makes me more desperate. What was their deal about. The Alpha seemed to losing his patience with each passing second. 

Father bowed deeply. "I deeply apologize Mr Max, but what you asked for was something I couldn't give you." He boldly told him. There was tension between these two, one my mother noticed. She held me tightly and drew me closer to her. The look on the Alpha's face finally turned into a forced smile and he took the box away from him. Father handed over the key to the box, the Alpha took a peek inside and smiled. I tried to look too but I am so short, that it was hopeless.

He held out his hand for a hand shake, when they did he said to him. "It was nice doing business with you Shaw. Have a nice day." He turned his back, and began to walk away, with his bodyguards sandwiching him as if their lives depended on it. Father watched as the Alpha got into his black car and handed the box to his most trusted right hand man. Breathing a sigh of relief, father supported mother with his hand behind her back and led us outside. We walked back to the car.  He said nothing as he started the engine and drove off, even mother didn't say a word. 

************************************** 

The next morning, the house was more than busy as we packed our necessary belongings. Father had  ready our airplane tickets and international ID's. The plan was to leave the country to find a new home, I think. I was having breakfast as the maids and my nanny showered me with kisses and praises as though I were still three. 

As my parents descended from the stairs with the luggages which were immediately taken outside by one of our domestic employees, I quickly took off my hearing aids.. It was an emotional moment as we bid their farewell to what we've called home for as long as I could remember and to their domestic staff including Freya, my  nanny as we finally got into the car, the rest of the stuff we couldn't bring will be shipped later, and a couple of other stuff and food supplies were given to the workers. Next week, a new owner would move in, as father had already sold our house to remove all trace of our existence. 

As the road stretched out in front of us, mother  could finally have a peace of mind. There was a glow on her face as she often turned back and smiled at me, it was like nothing happened. I would also smile back at her and this would cause  mother to be overjoyed that she retrieved some chocolate  from her purse which she offered to me. I looked out the window, day dreaming of what life has installed for us when I felt someone tap me. Mother kept trying to get my attention, she signed for me to put on my hearing aids which I did. Father cut us short when he screamed. "What the!" My mother looked forward and spotted a car that significantly missed ours. But the maniac didn't stop there, he drove forward and when father tried to swerve in the opposite direction, he ran our car over with full force. I can't remember what happened, but I found myself struggling to breathe and holding my mother's hand.  The car flipped a couple of times before finally landing upside down on the asphalt.

In a moment of haziness, mother and I looked over at father who was severely injured. I couldn't stop the pain on my body, it felt like I was stabbed with a knife over and over again. Everything felt wrong, my body ached severely. I could hear mother call out father's name, and reached for him when he didn't respond. I wonder why he wasn't responding, what happened to him. I tried to wake him up so many times but he just sat there, he wasn't moving, confused I wondered what this was, although I knew fully well what it was, it was difficult to accept the truth, and wept bitterly.

 After  much struggle, she managed to unlatch the seat belt and reach for me. With the little strength she had left, she pushed me out, and crawled out too, her legs were damaged and she had no hopes of walking without limping for at least a year. Looking forward, we spot the mad driver who had caused all this and mother holds me tightly. Judging from the fact that he stuck around, he wasn't done with us and that scared me.  The man came down and mother quickly recognized him, "you. Simon." She said in anger.

He couldn't care less. "The Alpha wishes to speak with you." He said casually.

"Why should I go with you. You just murdered my husband." She said in tears.

He squats  next to her and looks towards the direction of the car. "He...." He pointed towards Father's dead body and continued. "Tried to run away." 

"You almost ran into us, what stopped you from dropping by to say hi." She asked, he erupted in laughter and stood up. 

"Now that wouldn't be doing my job now would it. I was asked not to go nice on you two. Now back to business. The Alpha wants to have a word with any of you that survives, and that's you. So would you come with me or should I use force." 

"There's nothing that I wish to say to him now that my husband is dead, so, to hell with him." Although he could tell she meant it, he just sighed, thinking of what to do, he looked around and when he spotted me, he gave a devilish grin which didn't go unrecognized. 

"Your little girl. How old is she?" He asked. I stepped back when I realized he asked of me. Mother stubbornly stayed quiet, but the bastard grabbed her by her hair and made her look towards my direction, scaring me to death. She had to reply. "Twelve." She said. His eyes sparkled like he just won a lottery. "Twelve, she's so young. Hey, what do you say if I drop a couple of bullets in her brain." The word echoed in my head as I froze up.

Horrified, she begged him with all she got. "No, please. I beg of you, I'll do anything."

"That's more I like it. Now let's move it, the Alpha might get mad that you're late."  Anna felt the cool metal on her temple and decided that he meant business. She signaled for her daughter to come closer and together they both got into the car. I remembered how I tried to run away, back to father but mother held me tightly she didn't want to let me go. To shut me up he placed a gun on my head. He took it off for a second and aimed at the window where father was, and pulled the trigger, if father wasn't dead then this surely killed him at last. Hoping I understood he pointed it back at me. Although I didn't want to die, nothing stopped me from crying, my tears were non stop and so was my mother's.

We arrived at their destination in one piece, ironically. Right outside the warehouse, the same one where father had brought us. Mother didn't want to get down from the car, she looked outside the window for a while, until the man spoke up. "Let's go." He said, all she did was nod. She got down from the car, the pain in her legs causing her to limp as she pulled me close to her. Anxiety washed over us as we got closer to him. I could feel her trembled and her knees were shaken. Finally we came face to face with the Alpha, he didn't look happy at all. Funny because he just killed my father, we should be the one upset right? Shouldn't that have made his entire year? 

She looked away from his fierce gaze. Everything about this man screamed danger. He grabbed her face tightly in his hand and squeezed it. "Why did you betray my trust?" She couldn't help but gasp for air when he said that.

"What are you talking about Alpha Max, we gave you what you wanted, didn't we?" She asked.

He kept questioning us like it was natural. "Where were you running to? Why were you leaving the country, why were you three in a hurry to leave the country." She was silent, unaware of what to say or how to reply to his question, she bit her lower lip in frustration. 

When asked a second time, she looked him square in the eyes. I remember that look on her face, like her worry suddenly vanished. "I told you we've done nothing wrong, why don't you understand, you killed my husband for nothing." She cried, "we decided to leave the country, that's all. What we do with our private lives doesn't concern you, and talking about trust, well I have no idea what you're talking about. The best person to ask about this was my husband, but you've killed him so I have nothing to say about your trust. I just met you, and so did my little girl, please let us go sir." Her reply angered the Alphas' men that they volunteered to kill her but he stopped them. 

He turned away from her and nodded to himself. "Go. Get away from here." He instructed us, mother didn't hesitate, she took my hand and ran towards the exit, when suddenly I heard a loud noise.

  • His Denounced Luna   Chapter 102. End.

    I thought we would be separated the moment we reached the roadside, so what is he still doing walking with me, doesn't he have a wife to return to? Or oerhaps he's suspicious of me. If that's true then there won't be any chance to return to Lune, not just that but if brother finds out, i'd be in major trouble. I have to find a way out of here, should I knock his out, I can't kill him or interfere with this race. "I'll be going now, my brother must be waiting for me." I tell him. I hope he at least get the picture and leaves.I leave him behind and walk alone, trying to make it look like I at least know the way am going. "Hold on." My body subconsciously halts. No, I must have been found out. What now? I never thought they would be this smart to actually spot a god. "Would you be fine by yourself. Am not sure you know these roads by yourself, even am not sure of these roads myself, you sure you know where your way around." What? He's still caring about a stranger

  • His Denounced Luna   Chapter 101.

    I don't feel a thing except emptiness, which seemed weird coming from someone who asked her emotions to be removed. Although Lune decided not to hide the fact that I asked for my emotions and memories to be removed from me, couldn't stop me from feeling this way. I've been feeling rather empty, this feeling of emptiness was greater than the pressure of watching over the entire earth at night, which is why am seated by the moon pool, causing waves with my hand and giving light to darkness. I gotta say, the Sun god sure is doing a great job at being up all day.I don't remember much from what Lune told me, but according to earth's calendar. It's probably been three years since I left, I was told I went to earth in search of something and returned after I found it, but am not sure what it is. How could I feel so incomplete after finding it. Maybe I didn't find it, Lune didn't tell me about what it was when I woke up. No matter what I tried to do, nothing seemed to

  • His Denounced Luna   Chapter 100.

    It was supposed to be a night of memory for me, but I don't think I can make much memories with such looks on their faces. Today was supposed to be my last meal with them, but their stares are rather piercing, ugh, why the hell do I feel like am being stabbed a hundred times by them. "What?!"Hailey bangs the table so hard it almost snaps. "Cut the crab Diana, what's going on." As expected from someone as quick witted as Hailey, she guessed it in an instant. No I think they all did, is that why they have such looks on. I don't think it would be easy talking to them anymore."Haha." I laugh, it's better to avoid eye contact right now Diana, they can see right through you and emotionally blackmail you, however I still have to tell them. "Well, you see, I finally decided that am going home."The living room is awkwardly silent. It's been this way for five minuted that I could even hear the crickets outside. Ever since I tol

    A loud bam filled the room, I tightly shut my eyes close at the sound of the gunshots. It's been at least thirty seconds and I haven't felt a single thing how strange. I open my eyes and find the brothers all gathered in the room with Allen who had a gun in his hand pointed at Derrick who was holding into his chest. "The hell." He screamed, at the same moment he calmed down. "Evan, Allen, Dave. You're here?" He said, he looked rather terrified after seeing them all together. Meanwhilean still panicking I felt all over my body and find nothing on me, so this isn't a dream then. I really am alive. Was it a blank, am sure I heard a gun shut, no rather two gunshots.Thank goodness they made it. The brothers who had gathered in one room gave off a tense aura. "Of course we are, the warehouse has a fucking back door and we've taken care of your friends." Allen yelled. He seems pissed off along with the others, could they had heard everything just now oh Derrick I gues

  • His Denounced Luna   Chapter 98.

    I reach the warehouse before noon and find a couple of men outside who escorts me inside, the closer I get, the angrier I feel, I wonder, just how did he fool his entire family. Finally I spot the great mastermind up ahead, he walked closer and then when we we're only a few inches apart he leaned forward and said to me, "the password." How the hell could I give him the password knowing there was a chance we might not make it out alive."You really had me fooled there Derrick, you honestly thought I would let you have the journal just like that. Let me see Jasper and Liam first." I tell him. I couldn't afford to waver or be frightened by him anymore, I had already ripped off the page before they broke in, and I discovered who he was and that was more than enough for my plan to work.He looks me in the eyes and walks closer, the closer he gets to me the more I take a step back till I reach a dead end and my back slams agains the wall. "No." He

    My heart race the next instant, just what the hell do they want from me right now, I can't even keep a straight face because am mad right now. "Diana, it's me." Liam. That's unusual, Liam never visits me, not just that he never bothered to last three minutes in a conversation with me so why was he at my door right now."Come in." Whatever it's better to get this over with and fast."Good thing you weren't sleeping, we've just received news that your blood was in fact the cure. So we thought you would be having a hard time because you discovered your identity and then the virus and stuff, we would like you to know that you have our support." I stare puzzled at him, this was the first time we had a proper conversation and that was all he had to say. Well at least it's better than pretending am invisible."Thanks." Right after he walked away from my room I shut the door behind me, and certain now, I have to find out more ab
