MANUEL'S POV Samantha had been away for a day now and the house felt empty.I found my mind occasionally wondering about how she was doing and what she was doing?Were they treating her badly?Was she resting well enough for her challenge?I knowing wasnt easy to train the cubs.They were unruly,out of control and destructive. Eveey instructor that had been assigned to them had quit or ended up dying somehow.If there was anyone that could handle them I knew it was going to be her.Her warmth,charm and motherly instincts would surely take them by storm.My lips widened in a wistful smile as I thought of her.The knock of the door alarmed me beinging me our of my reverie."Who could that be?"I thought aloud as I trudged barefoot to the door.It was Maeve leaning kn the door frame with a beaming smile on her face.I let out a resigned sigh."What are you doing here Maeve?""Is that any way to treat the mother of your child?"she sais as she breezed past me walking into the room wit
SAMANTHA'S POV When the task had been given to me.I had unsure of doing it but meeting these kids have been truly life changing. But it wasnt them that I was worried about. Now I knew where all.their problems are coming from.It's because they've been too neglected.The people assigned to them didn't think twice about them.The meals that they were being served looked like dog poo and there was no proper training.The children were left to roam wherever they liked which was a bad idea when you were in charge of teenagers that were so keen to explore so long as it face them excitement.On different occasions I had seen a child injuring another because they couldnt control their claws as they manifested when they were angered.They were indeed unruly and hard to reason with but that was because they were not taught anything else to be.They didnt know whow to act so they formed stubbornness as a defence mechanism."Okay now,let's all settle down now"I pleaded "You're not the boss
SAMANTHA'S POV "Elder Alphana,what at you doing here?"I asked in disbelief.She laughed at my surprise."Dont worry darling.Am just here to keep an eye on you.As per orders given to me by the council but don't tell them I helped you.They would flip if they know am still here."She leaned in closely to whisper.I nodded with a wide smile playing on my lips."Now that's the smile I was looking for.Come on,Walk with me.You must tell me details of all your escapades in this place "she said cheerfully leading me towards the hallway.When we were away from the locker room and the possible prying eyes of the people that passed us with curious glances."Ignore them "Alphana advised."All they ever do is stare and try to look for their next victim"She said.I obeyed."The kids are going exceptionally.Chase is such a bright student but he chooses not to apply himself because it could potentially ruin his reputation and make them hate him for not being the guy he wanted them to think o
MANUEL'S POV "Samantha!"I called as I ran past the two woman that were scurrying out of the room.All I could think of was her.Was she okay?From what I had heard the stab wound was pretty serious because she lost a lot of blood because of it."Are you okay?"I asked as my hands roamed the length of her body frantically looking for any sign of injuries when I had found none.I had breathed in a sigh of relief."Are you alright?"I asked.She giggled at the concerned look in my eyes."Samantha could you please be serious.Did you get hurt?"I asked concern laced in my words.She paused for a while before vehemently shaking her head in response."So you have no injuries?"I asked.Again she nodded."But I do have an unjuredbkid on my hands and because hes still to young and haven't changed yet it would be excruciatingly painful got him to heal.And he won't be able to heal as fast."she ssid solemnly.Ny brows knotted in confusion.Here I am worried for her and she's busy worrying about
SAMANTHA'S POV It's been weeks since I last spoke to or saw Manuel. He's been so preoccupied with finding Jonathan that all his thoughts has been consumed with finding him. My tasks had ended as well as it could be with Manuel being restrained for punching an elder in the face for badmouthing me. I appreciate what he had done but at the same time it had fueled the rumours that said that I had snatched him away from Maeve and I got eveything I wanted easily because I had succeeded in seducing their Alpha. It hurt to see the way everyone began to stigmatizing me and Manuel had not cared about it that much. A knock on the door brought me put of my reverie as I raced for the door passed Manuel who was clearly engrossed with the phone call he and Micheal were making. It was strange. There was no-one at the door.Searching the hallways all I had found was a box duct-taped poorly.It had scratch marks on its body with no return adddress. I hesitated
MANUEL'S POVThe work that was put in to search for Jonathan was finally paying off.Little by little we were already peeling back the hidden layers of the puzzle inch by inch.We had figured out who sent the mail with a dead bird and the note.So far we had been unsuccessful in breaking the code for the letter.None of us knew what it mean or what the scribbled words meant.But slowly according to the information Rdyer had gotten on his trip to find out about the resurrected Jonathan.What he sound was indeed shocking."Here we were thinking he was orphan but he had had a family.He had just chosen to run away.And none of us knows why?"Rdyer commented as we were standing around his dinning table checking out all the information er had gathered concerning this case along with their connections to each of them.I frowned in confusion."What do you mean?he ran away"I turned to him."Sorry I didnt add that to the story.I fint think it was relevant to the information.We were just lookin
SAMANTHA'S POV As soon as I rang the doorbell to her house,I knew that my inner voice screaming ata me to leave was probably right but before I could turn around to leave I was caught by Maeve who pulled open the door abruptly startling me."You're here.Come right now.And make yourself at home.I'llbring him out in a jiffy."She ssid excitedly and she ran into the room.A few minutes later she was out of the room holding the baby so carelessly on her arm almost like she was carrying a bag of stinky poo."Here"she said as she handed me the baby and wrinkling her nose in disgust."I don't know what's wrong with her.One minute he's calm docile and other times...well let's just say he's a nightmare on those days."she explained. "Am so glad you're here to help out.I just need to get out real quick to get something"she stated."Of course.But..."I paused midway as the recognition hit. "...you haven't coughed once since I arrived here"I said cautching her red handed.Her eyes widene
MANUEL'S POVI knew something was amiss the moment it took so long for her to open the door.I knew that Samantha had sent the kids over to Rick's so he could watch them.He had phoned me earlier if I much preferred he bring them back himself or they wait for us to come pick them up."Just...bring them home.I honestly have no idea how long it would take for us to be back.Judging by the long wait,I think we'll be late"I said into the reciever."is something wrong?Is Samantha okay?Don't tell me there is something happening again."he asked with concern sipping through the phone. I smiled sadly at the thought of how lucky Samantha was to have Rick at her side."No there's nothing wrong.We'rejust dealing with something.There'snothing to be worried about.We can fix this"I said reassuredly as best as I could."Okay.Then I'll bring the kids home before its their bedtime.How does that sound?"He asked."Sounds good"I responded clearing my throat.After that all I thought about was Samantha
