But no matter how hard I try reinstating the name who to be my better half, reality proves to me one thing that it will always be Melissa who was standing in front of me devoted to being my wife from that day forward, in sorrow and joy, to have and to hold, as long as we both shall live. Right after exchanging our vows, Melissa and I immediately went to the resort owned by my parents to extend our wedding celebration. Our honeymoon state. That night was a do-or-die choice for me. Ghino already chose his decision to break up with the ones he believed love exists. And I choose to be with Melissa for his sake. In addition to that, our honeymoon was inevitable. There was nothing more to tell about it in detail but it happened as part of the ceremony. Needless to say, I cheated on Ghino. "Are we doing the right thing, Nathan?" Melissa muttered as I was caressing her shoulder while we were lying on the same bed, still naked. "This is the right thing, Melissa. We both hav
"So, what do you suggest?" I need options. Could not just let that man, whoever he is, kidnap Melissa. I dragged my furious gaze back to the manager for not making his job properly. "If anything bad will happens to Melissa, it's on you, Mr. Manager." "I'm so sorry, Prince Nathan., he said in a worried tone. "I highly suggest you should communicate with the higher ops about the case, Prince Nathan." The IT Staff grabbed a piece of paper and pen and jotted down something. Afterward, he handed over the piece of paper to me and paused the CCTV Footage. "That's the description of the car and plate number the kidnapper used. Below it was the Sheriff's digits that could help you expedite the searching," he added. "Inside of this flash drive is also the copy of the footage for the cops' reference." "Thank you so much." I clapped his shoulder before I went back to the car. After talking to the Sheriff over the phone, I rushed to the precinct to explain everything t
"What do you want?" I cleared up my mind, setting aside everything from me; anger, hatred, exhaustion, and pride. Two wolves that were somehow labeled the most important beings were currently in the middle of uncertainties. The one that owns my heart and promised a forever. And the one whom I chose to mate and marry in order to uphold the dynasty my parents built for me. Meanwhile, Nadine and Edwin were all ears to the person talking with me over the phone. Though they might have pictures of what was completely going on, I still have no plan to involve either of them. The case was a bit risky for them. Let alone it already involves kidnapping and torturing. The three of them were valuable enough for Ghino. At least, if we are not on good terms anymore, he still has his friends to look out for him. "Let us know what we can do, Prince Nathan. Ghino's our friend too." Edwin said right away after the call ended. "Wait... You guys hear their conversations, right?"
My wolf exerted much of my strengths and power, trying to remove the ropes and chains they tied on my arms and legs. My wolf wanted to rip off the man's heart out of his chest when I could barely sense any lies in his words. Sadly, the more strength my wolf wielded, the weakened my body could get. When I dropped my gaze to the floor, I suddenly realized I was surrounded by wolfsbane and powder of mountain ash. As far as my knowledge is concerned, they were discovered to be two of our wolf's weaknesses. I don't know how long my wolf has been unconscious but with the lost strength in my body, I can assume that I've been out longer than my wolf expected. No wonder my wolf could barely untie the ropes and chains out of my arms and legs no matter how hard I tried. "Oh. There you are. Did you have a good night's sleep, Prince Nathan?" I quickly lifted my head to the man who just appeared in the room. He was holding a cam recorder and was pointing at me. "Denver?" I i
"Aside from loving the wrong person? I did not steal from someone or kill anyone. I'm not even sure what am I doing in this place." I breathed out my frustration to the man. Despite the utter frustration, I only get a vicious laugh from him and said, "it's all right to lie, son. I'm just trying to make real conversation here. But, let me give you this piece of advice, son. No matter what they do to you, especially the big boss, endure it. In that way, you'll live longer in this place like me." "I'm not lying. Someone kidnapped me and then dropped my body in this place. Where am I? What country is this?" "Welcome to Russia, my friend. The worst penitentiary has ever written in the world's history." He continued sipping the cigarette. Even blows the smoke right through my face. Then he offered the used cigarette to me but I refused. Smoking would be the last thing my wolf would do as my hobby. Its content will only kill my wolf sooner. "Russia?" He nodded. "I don't know if you're o
"Just be thankful it's all you've got, young man. Most of the beaten ones usually never see another day. So, next time, better don't cause any scene as much as possible. Even if you think you're that though, just don't try your luck." says one of the jail guards who assisted me out of the cell. "Are you kidding me? Don't you realize how unfair the fight was? It's one against fifty. And besides, it's not me who started the fight." I insisted as my wolf could not believe even the guards were protecting the big boss. "Where are you taking me anyway?" "To the clinic. Never in the history of this penitentiary that first comers died on their first day." He said back. "And how exactly did you know I'm a prisoner of this hell, huh?" Could not help but ask. As far as I could remember, I got an emergency landfall on the open space outside with no proper documents being endorsed to be one of their prisoners. None of the security guards appeared when I landed at this place asi
"Can I have your name, please?" I added. "At least, so I can properly address you when we talk to each other." "Haven't you forgotten? I already told you my name since the first time I saw you outside." He said back and let go of those weird stares from me. So, I quickly dug into my helpless brain about our last conversation. Unfortunately, my wolf doesn't even remember if he did mention his name. Or maybe, I might have just missed it. "Aah... I'm just gonna call you uncle then." I said back full of wonder about how did I forget his name if he introduced me. My wolf is better at recalling human names. But his was beyond my knowledge. It was as if his name got removed from my werewolf system. "Whatever, kiddo." The old man smiled. "Where are we heading anyway?" I asked out of curiosity. "Canteen. Take note that every time the gates of the cells get open, it means three things. First is for our meal time. Second would be our roll calls before bedtime. A
Before the man could do something awful to my wolf, I broke his right hand in just a split second. He abruptly dropped his body to the ground and started screaming. The worst part was that he is screaming for help. As soon as the big boss and his friends heard his excruciating pain, they immediately came to the rescue and beat me up for the second time. As usual, the jail guards did not even lay a hand or scold the big boss or any of his friends. Instead, they all laid their furious eyes on me as if I was the one who started the fight. As soon as we stepped foot in the mouth of the clinic, the jail guards pushed me inside by force. "Next time you will cause trouble, I'm gonna put a bullet in your head, understood?" One of the jail guards announced. Part of me wanted to rush and bumped onto the man's body and eat his flesh alive. I could not believe they were all deaf and blind and that it was the prisoners who started the fight. What I did was simply protect my
