In the evening Dinner is a very quiet, somber affair. I know Gabe has probably informed the men already and they are just waiting for Noah to go to bed before the interrogation starts. I shiver, picking up my glass of water and taking a long sip. I catch Brandon’s eye briefly his face taut, and he stares at me for a moment before turning to Dawson and whispering something I can’t quite catch.

Noah yawns and I slip out of my chair. “Come on, Noah, bedtime.” Relieved , I need to escape the oppressive atmosphere .He mumbles good night as we head up with Amanda in tow.

Once he is asleep I head back down the stairs reluctantly as Amanda retires for the night. I find the men in the living room with a rom-com playing softly on the screen. Once I squeeze in between Desmond and Shawn, the movie is paused. The room is tense; they are all watching me, waiting patiently for me to speak.

Brandon leans forward and fixes his eyes on me, his wolf barely restrained under the surface. Oohh,

    Safe house The PI’s phone continues to ring loudly and at the same time Brandon’s phone starts vibrating in his hand. I stare at Brandon in worry , Oh bother must be Pack business ,Will he need to leave us ? I watch as his eyes drop briefly to the screen but he doesnt answer rather he faces the PI “You should take it , it could be one of your informants” Oh yeah wouldnt that be great? I really love how the universe is aligning this case for us one witness at a time. The pi nods and steps out of the sofa moving towards the window . He doesn’t put the call on speaker ,the room falls into silence as we wait PI:”Joda , whats going on?” He pauses “Are you certain you know he is young lets not any chances .” My ears peak at that statement I look towards Desmond and he shrugs his shoulders his eyes returning to the PI PI: “How old is he ? My heart beats steadily like a drum .Is it Annas son ? Has he been found? That was quick! I turn to the Men ,Desmond leans forward as both Br

  • Aaliyah’s Return    Interrogation

    Aaliyah’s POV Safe house We arrive at the house very early Brandon parks at the curb and we all remain seated for a moment .I hounded the men for us to leave super early because I want to sit in for the interrogation . I need to find out if the PI has any leads on Anna’s son . I look at the modern simple building with flat roof , It’s located at the very outskirts of shark fin . Gabe did a good job in securing the location as there are mostly empty plots marked for construction in the area keeping our witnesses safe and out of sight . I turn to Shawn curious to find out why we are stalling “Are we waiting for someone ?” Shawn turns to me with a pensive look “No we are just gathering our thoughts” Brandon and Desmond sigh not saying a word as they step out of the car .Shawn exits next coming round to open my door . I step out gingerly and take a deep breath of the cold morning air . Curling my hand in Shawn’s arm as we step in to the house behind Desmond and Brandon . Mona k has d

    Settling into the back seat of Shawn’s SUV as Brandon opens the left door as Shawn and Desmond enter the front . Shawn drives out of the curb quietly , My curiosity is piqued I want to hear what Brandon wanted to tell me earlier . “Brandon what did you want to tell me ?”I ask in a hushed whisper “The PI called but Desmond missed the call but he sent a text message “ He pauses shifting his arm and putting it around my shoulders . “He has more information ,we wanted to get to Shawn’s before calling him back’ .I lean into him nodding finally everything is aligning thank you goddess . Shawn parks his car at the curb and we all step out I am so anxious I can’t even wait for them to open my door . We walk towards the house as Shawn opens the door with flourish. “Make yourself at home I need a drink” he calls over his shoulder as he heads to the kitchen . We hang our jackets ,Brandon and Desmond pull me into the living room settling me between them on the sofa . Their warmth c

  • Aaliyah’s Return    Distracted

    I watch as everyone is eating their dinner quietly but I can barely taste the curry . My mind is occupied with trying to remember the driver at The Clark’s Residence growing up . Drivers and maids always know where the skeletons are kept if only I can -..I feel a warm hand on my own and I look up my eyes clash with Noah’s own and the table has gone completlety silent . Oops how long was I in a trance I wonder. I smile at Noah as he looks at me eyes furrows in to a deep frown “Mummy are you okay ?”Before I can think of a suitable response to calm a 9 year old brandon adds “Aaliyah I will also like to know, you were zoned out throughout dinner .”I look towards him then glance at Shawn , Desmond, Gabe and Amanda they are all waiting for my response wearing anxious expressions . I made them all worry drat !I let out a small laugh “Oh Honey , Mummy is peachy.” I brush his hair back and tug him down for a brief kiss.”I am just thinking about a few new clients we have at Noah’s ark”

  • Aaliyah’s Return    Near the finish line

    I watch Dawn as she walks over to the entrance to open the door, and I hear the men’s voices wafting toward us as both anticipation and worry settle in my chest. They step into the living room shortly after, casually dressed in black slacks and fitted polo shirts one in deep green, the other in royal blue each color perfectly matching their eyes. Their Italian suede loafers complete their fashion statement reminding me that these Men, My men are no ordinary men. They're are not only successful in their various fields but they are also rich and freaking powerful. I have to mentally remind myself to “Focus we have an issue at hand “. As soon as they both step into the livingroom, I ask Desmond excitedly, “Desmond, have you-“ He walks over to me, cutting off my sentence with a quick kiss, then whispers into my ear, “I know you can’t wait to hear, but we will discuss this later at Shawn’s. Remember, Noah’s watching our every move.” I gasp, turning quickly to Noah, who is watching us

  • Aaliyah’s Return    Counting your blessings

    Aaliyah’s POVI lean on the counter watching Dawn work as my mind drifts back to Desmond’s earlier call. Goddess, please, we have been working on this case forever, and the elections are drawing close. I want him behind bars before he’s elected; if not, we will never catch him. My hand shakes as I turn around and grab a cup from the cupboard. I need tea ,tea ,Noah and my men, the three things that make everything better.“Luna?” Dawn calls softly as I drop the cup on the counter and face her.“Yes, Dawn?” I smile at her encouragingly, not wanting her to be scared to voice her thoughts.“What should I make for dinner?” Dawn asks meekly, standing by the pantry, ready to get the ingredients out. With the way I’m feeling, Indian food is a must. “You can make some naan and chicken curry,” I tell her. She nods, bringing out the things she needs as I walk out of the kitchen, giving her space to work.I find Brandon and Noah sitting in the living room watching football. Leaning on the
