They were all waiting when I stepped out. Noah bounced in his seat, grinning wide.

“Mum, Dad says I can go out for dinner with Uncle Gabe and Aunty Amanda?”

“That’s fine, honey. Where’s your jacket?”

“Thank you, Mum and Dad! Bye, Uncle Desmond, bye Uncle Shawn!” He darted off before I could answer. I looked at the men, trying to lighten the air. “So, you all made it on time for once?”

No laughter. Just steady, serious eyes.

“This is about you,” one of them said. “You matter to us.”

The words stilled me. I sank into the middle of them, letting their heat wrap around me like a shield. Brandon passed the laptop to Shawn.

“Do the honors.”

Shawn slipped a USB from his pocket. “Better save this first. No telling if it’ll vanish.” He moved quickly. Keys clicked. Then the email opened. The room breathed in sharply as one. Photos filled the screen. Morgan, caught in a filthy brothel—not the sleek clubs we knew, but a low, stinking place. His trousers around his knees, women drape

  • 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

  • Aaliyah’s Return    One more move

    Aaliyah’s POV After breakfast we decide to watch some cartoons with Noah in the living room. Before I can even make it out of my chair, Noah zooms past me in a blur. I stare at his retreating figure as Brandon leans back in his chair and smirks. I look at him. “Is it just me, or is Noah getting faster?” I ask as we both follow him at a more leisurely pace. Brandon shakes his head. “It’s not just you. I’ve noticed it too. As he’s growing, his abilities are growing with him.” “Wow,” I breathe, squeezing Brandon’s bicep. “Do you think he should see Dr. Lisa for a general check-up? It’s been a while since his last one at the Noah’s Flame.” As we step into the living room, Brandon pats my arm softly. “He’s fine, my Queen. But for your own peace of mind, please invite her over to give him a thorough check-up.” I nod and we sit side by side on the sofa. Noah is already watching Superman, eyes glued to the screen. “Noah, have we seen this one before?” I ask, leaning on Brandon’s should

  • Aaliyah’s Return    The Men

    Please be warned chapter contains explicit content !Aaliyah’s POV I wake up slowly to the men discussing the latest on Amellia’s case, my arm still tucked in between their hot bodies. I don’t think they have noticed that I am awake yet. “I am just glad we could lock her up before coming home,” Desmond says. “Indeed, I don’t even feel a bit of pity for Amellia. No rest for the wicked,” Brandon replies, his voice filled with weariness. “I honestly do not give a damn what the council thinks. She will remain under lock and key until I say otherwise.” I stay still just listening to them. Brandon sounds extremely fatigued but steely about his decision. I know it can’t be easy being an Alpha and the kind of responsibility he shoulders daily. Shawn clears his throat and says, “Your dad didn’t seem to take it too well. I do hope he will stand down now.” Brandon lets out a low growl, muttering, “That’s why the power struggle was necessary in front of the council. They need to understand

  • Aaliyah’s Return    The gift of Frienship

    Aaliyah’s POVThe house is alive again. The kids’ laughter fills up the living room as Noah, Asher, and Ruger run in circles around the sofa. Thank the goddess for kids and mayhem the best way to banish all your worries in the world. “Careful, Noah! Don’t break my Chinese vase.” I lean back on the sofa, facing Sandra and Gloria.“Boys, it’s enough, you heard the Luna,” Sandra adds, shaking her head.Gloria giggles. “Boys will be boys.”“Always,” Amanda adds. Noah giggles, finding something else to argue about. He settles on the rug holding the remote. “I call first dibs.”I laugh at him. “Noah, you should all take turns in choosing, okay?”“Okay, Mummy.” They settle down finally and start watching a cartoon as Gloria rolls her eyes. “They never get tired of watching the same old superhero movies.”Amanda chuckles. “Let them be. It’s been a bit quiet here, I’ve missed them all being together like this.”“Seriously,” she is right. I glance around at everyone. “I didn’t realise how

  • Aaliyah’s Return    The Chase 2

    Brandon’s POV The moment we stepped out of the Winthrop residence, adrenaline started to run through me now that we have at least been able to figure out her location. Now it’s time for the chase, and I do love a good hunt; my wolf purrs in excitement. We spread out in formation, moving across the fields with urgency and stealth. I turn to Desmond. “The two of you are with me. Dawson, circle through the eastern river.” “Roger that, boss,” he talks into his speaker and takes a sharp turn immediately. “She is close by, I can feel her.” Desmond cracks his knuckles. “I actually thought she would have moved on from the safe house by now.” “She is waiting for perhaps nightfall or backup; Amelia is reckless but not dumb,” Shawn replies. I nod, not answering, as my ears catch some movement up ahead inside the empty safe house. My wolf is pacing in my head, overstrung and pissed off. I stop at the door as Dawson and the others catch up with us. “She is inside, by the first floo

  • Aaliyah’s Return    The Winthrope’s

    Brandon’s POVIt takes us a while to arrive at the pack house on foot, even though it’s only a few metres away, as pack members keep stopping us to greet me and the men. Oh, for goddess’ sake. When the hundredth person stops us, I wear a fake smile and quickly walk into the pack house, asking the first guard on duty, “Where is my Beta?”“He is in the common room, Alpha.” I nod and lead the way as we turn the first right and walk into the common room, where Dawson seems to be at the tail end of addressing our top guards.“She is dangerous, and as you well know ,on house arrest. Approach and subdue, but don’t kill. Use the knife filled with silver nitrate to weaken her. Remember, don’t cut any vital organs. You are dismissed.”“Yes, sir.” They all turn around to leave and see me standing by the entrance. They stand at attention.“You are excused. Time is of the essence. I want her found tonight,” I growl, my power leaking just a bit.“Yes, Alpha,” they reply in unison, filing out o
