LOGINAlex:“That's it! We're going. She's been in there too long already.”The thought of what Antonio could do to her made my heart hurt. “But we can't just storm in there. It's going to get messy” Cedric said. “Elsie is in danger. I don't care about messy” “Their firewall is strong but I'm sure I can breach it. In the meantime….” She handed me a black flash drive. “I need to to plug this into their security hub so I can gain full access”“If I do this, how long will it take to shut down the alarms and cameras?”“Two minutes, if everything goes well”“Then let's move. We have no time to waste”We drove to the headquarters while Amber's hands flew over the keyboard, trying to breach their firewall. We pulled up about a few blocks away from the building. Amber handed us earpiece. “Put these on. Let me know right away if anything happens”I nodded. “Stay in the car.”Cedric and I slipped out to the entrance. There were two guards there, heavily armed. Cedric took one of them down with
Elsie:I sat behind the wheels, staring at the towering building of the organization's headquarters that loomed ahead. After so much effort, I was finally able to get Amber off my back and shake off the men Alex sent to watch me.When I found out, I pretended like I was fine on the outside but my insides were burning with rage.Alex said he would take care of Antonio but I was done letting him fight my battles. This was mine and I would fight it with every strength I've got, even if it killed me. I had no plan. All I wanted to do was find Antonio, ask him why he would do something so cruel and plant a bullet in his skull.My gripped around the steering wheel tightened till my knuckles turned white while I thought of ways to sneak in but that was nearly impossible. The headquarters was a fortress with almost seven hundred guards so I had to go the hard way. I grabbed two handguns and my golden dagger before climbing out of the car. The entrance was guarded by four men. They recog
Alex:The door burst open and Elsie stood at the doorway, her chest heaving. I cursed mentally. Did she hear us? Judging from her expression, she probably did. “What did you just say?” she demanded, her voice trembling. “I don't understand what you are talking about”“You mentioned my parent's accident just now. I heard you”“Well, you heard wrong. Cedric and I were just discussing some company issues”She stepped closer to me. “Don't lie to me, Alex” Cedric stood up and tried to slip out. “I'll give you two some privacy” “No. You are staying” She said sharply. Cedric went back to his seat, watching us in silence. “Elsie….” I started. “Please tell me the truth” she said, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.My gut twisted and I exhaled. I tried to shield her from the truth but I couldn't anymore. I left my desk and guided her to the couch. “I'll tell you, but you have to promise me not to do anything rash”“I promise”I wiped off a tear that rolled down her cheek. “Antonio
Elsie:My phone buzzed for the fifth time on the nightstand. I didn't need to check to know it was Alicia again. She had sent several messages in just a week begging to meet but, still riddled with anger and hurt, I replied none. My phone buzzed again. I groaned and grabbed it, ready to give her a piece of my mind. ‘Please, just one conversation. I'm begging you’I pursed my lips, contemplating whether to agree or not. In the end, I sent a reply. ‘Central Park, by the fountain’*********She was already there by the time I arrived, holding a cup of coffee. I was ten minutes late and if we were on good terms, she would have chastised me for that. Instead, she said,“Thank you for meeting me”I sat beside her on the bench and avoided her gaze, keeping my eyes on the fountain, watching tourists and kids walk around the park. “Do you want coffee? There's a cart over there. I can…..”“No need. You said you wanted to talk, so go on. I won't be staying long” I snapped. She offered a sm
Leo:In the hotel room Amber checked into, I sat on the edge of the bed with my shirt off, Amber wiped the blood off my face. For someone who spent days torturing me, her touch was surprisingly gentle. Her brows were furrowed in concentration and I couldn't stop staring, committing every inch of her face to memory. But a part of me was puzzled. When I decided to chase after her, I knew Cedric was a strong opposition. Or so I thought. Since we entered the room, she hasn't said a word to me. It probably had to do with her break up with Cedric.I had been half conscious but I heard it clearly. He said it was over between them if she left. And yet she did. She dabbed a deep cut on my head and I hissed from the sharp, stinging pain. A crazy idea popped in my head. Maybe….just maybe she felt something for me. She looked up and caught me staring. “What?”I swallowed. ‘Are you in love with me?’But I couldn't say that out loud, scared of what her answer might be. Instead I asked, “Why
Cedric:I entered the basement where Leo was forced to his knees, his hands tied back. One of my men had suffered a few bruises on his face. Leo must have put up quite a fight. He glared at me, breathing heavily. His eyes brimmed with anger and hate. “Leave us,” I said, holding his gaze. My men left the room and I stooped low to look him in the eye. “I guess you already know who I am”He growled in response. “What do you want from me?”The next second, my fist collided with his jaw. The crack of his bone echoed across the basement. His head snapped to the side, and he spat blood on the floor. I grabbed his hair and yanked it back. “You poisoned Amber and killed my child. And then you had the guts to send her flowers” He smirked. “I see what this is about. You are scared of losing Amber to me so you're trying to get me out of the picture”My lips twitched in fury. “You have no right to say her name” “She forgave me”“I didn't” I retorted, trying to stop my wolf from breaking o
Mia: The coven was a huge estate behind a towering iron gate covered in vines. As I walked up the stone path, I caught sight of young witches sprawled across the play, practicing their magic. Some twisted streams of water from the fountain into dancing figures. Others practiced from the lawn. Plan
Lukas:I sat at the head of the table, silently watching the elders argue amongst themselves. “The pack can't be without a Luna. He needs one to solidify his position” One of them said, his tone firm. “Alpha Tristan's daughter could be a good choice. I heard his pack has been climbing the ranks la
Lukas:I stormed down the stairs, my chest heaving with frustration.I reached the grand foyer and slowed to a stop. The whole damn council of elders were here and when they gather like this, it's never good news. They were engaged in a heated argument with Michael and Kate who refused to let them
Kate: There were about five guards stationed at the cell. I tiptoed past them, hoping they wouldn't see me. But unfortunately, one did. A sharp eyed, tall blond. “Hey, stop!” I froze and bit my lip. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this the hard way. He stood up and walked towards me, sizing
