“Present me to who?”
“Luca Aguero. The leader of Xpresso and the real Mastermind behind the massacre today. He would love you as his woman. And you would give him all the information you know about The Lucian Brothers. You will be so much of an asset to him.”
Avril burst out laughing and that seemed to put of Miguel. Why was she laughing?
“What? So I'm some sort of object that is being passed off from Mafia Lord to gangster now?”
“Is that how you see this?”
“Yes. And I will not take it,” she said with a deep frown. He smirked and rubbed his goatee. He looked out the window and Avril used that opportunity to do an eye language they used well in the Mafia. She glanced at Chidi and to Miguel, then back to Chidi. This happened between two seconds, and Chidi understood. Even Nana and Xiào Wéi understood.
Miguel looked back at Avril.
“You don't have a choice. Yo
They reached the top of the hill and began to walk faster in order to get as far away from the van as they could. The ground was covered with leaves from the trees, twigs and sticks, stones and pebbles. This was to the girl's advantage, because they was no way another person could follow their tracks. Their footprints didn't even show a little sign.The girls continued to walk in silence until they got very tired. They had covered more than five kilometers and it was very late into the night. Only the moonlight guided their feet.“Is there anywhere we can get water? I'm so thirsty,” Nana whined and sat on a large log of fallen wood.“There's water in this bag. But it can only last us tonight,” Chidi stated and opened the driver's bag that she had taken. Five bottles of water were in it, with a bar of chocolate.“You only live once,” Nana said in relief and took a bottle from Chidi.&ldqu
The hunting was very successful. Avril returned with two medium sized hares. They had dinner and slept off on the floor. Avril was grateful she was feeling sleepy, but unfortunately, she had a nightmare. She saw bullets raining down on Alejandro and screamed out. She sat up panting heavily.“God,” she muttered and palmed her face. Her friends were still sleeping despite her scream. She looked at the still burning fire and moved closer to it. She arranged the wood untill the fire blazed up even more. She stared into the fire while thinking of what was going to become of her life, now that Alejandro was gone. How were they going to locate Arturo when he arrives Italy to take them back to Mexico? Her phone was probably still at the hotel. And she didn't even know where exactly they were. What if Miguel had successfully driven them out of Milan?It was not until two hours later that Avril could fall asleep again. This time, she had a nightma
They were not taken to the empty room they woke up in, but to a new room with sofas and a coffee table. The men untied their hands and left them there. The room had no windows so, there was no way of escape except through the door. And something told Avril that the men did not leave entirely but were standing by the door.She sat down almost immediately, and placed her hands on her chest, right over her heart. It was pounding hard like it wanted to escape her body.“God,” she muttered and bent her head. She placed her hands in her hair and closed her eyes. What had she just seen? Was it truly Dakar? Oh, she wasn't stupid. She knew him well. She knew those eyes well. But what happened to him? He didn't even move a toe when he set eyes on her. What about that woman? Obviously, she wasn't his sister. She was something more. And the way she sat and held his hand had so much authority. Like, she was next to him. Had he gotten married?
“You want the human girl?” Alpha asked with a look of uncertainty. Was it a mistake? His son hated humans and didn't even like it that they traded them.“I want the human girl,” Prince Dakar stated firmly, his eyes rooted in Avril's figure. She gulped and looked down, something about his cold eyes freaked her out.“Alpha, I am willing to pay a huge fortune for—” the nobleman tried to bargain but Prince Dakar scoffed and cut him shut.“I am taking the woman. If I have to pay three times your amount, I will,” he stated and sat back gently against his seat. The nobleman sighed and shot Avril a greedy look. But he couldn't argue with the Prince, so he went back to his sit and sat down.“It's settled then, the woman is for the Prince. But Dakar, how much are you willing to pay?”“Father, I give ten rubies for her,” he answered and his father smiled.“Goo
“Wait here. I'm going to get you food,” she added and with a speed that belonged to no human, she dashed out of the room. Avril swallowed a lump in her throat and walked to the bed. She sat down gently and heaved a very deep sigh.“Things are happening too fast,” she muttered to herself. She slipped her hand into her back pocket and pulled out her golden bracelet. It was then she realized that the bracelet could be hundred percent gold. From what she had seen so far, and what Aida said, the pack was very rich. There was no way the prince's bracelet would be fake gold.She lifted the object to face the light shining from the ceiling. It shone as it swayed under her finger.“My island wolf,” she mumbled as the memories of what he had said to her before he clasped it on her wrist, came back to her mind. She kissed it and pocketed it. She felt Alejandro's ring in there too, so she pulled it
Prince Dakar needed to get to the roof of his castle. He pulled off his animal fur regalia and wore a black dress shirt. He tied his hair in a very messy bun and wore black pants alongside black boots. He grabbed his phone and walked out of his room.“She is beautiful,” Derek, his wolf said in his head. He stopped walking and frowned.“Stop-talking-about-her,” he gritted angrily.“Don't command me... I'll talk about whoever I want,” Derek snapped back. Dakar heaved a deep sigh and rubbed his hand on his forehead. He looked at the lines on that arm, snake-like and black. People had thought they were new tattoes since they were on the same side of his wolf tattoo. No one, not even Camper, his closest knew they caused him pain on a regular. Whenever he thought about her, they burned deep into his body and soul, he would regret ever seeing her face in his head. He lived two years in fear of his own mind. Everything s
Aida paced around the back of Prince Dakar's castle, partially worried. What they were doing was very illegal, and if they were caught? That could be worse than death. Why did she even agree to doing this in the first place? Avril had told Gia to go and spy on her friends and tell her where they were. Gia had agreed and immediately she left, Avril turned to her and asked to be taken to the prince's castle. Avril had promised to be quick so Aida agreed. She had taken her through his house as quiet as possible and went back to stand outside.“I'm so stupid,” she muttered and slapped herself. The roof was far up, so she couldn't hear a thing. How Avril knew the Prince would be up there, she wondered. Why did she even want to talk with the Prince?“Aida,” she heard her name and gasped as she saw Avril with the cloak in her hands. She was staggering as she walked and almost fell down to the ground if not for Ai
Camper was very serious, so Avril couldn't laugh. She bit her lower lip and heaved a deep sigh. “Uhm, which girl are you talking about again?” “The dark skinned one, with the body. You know, the shape. Hour glass,” he said and even demonstrated it. “Nana. Her name is Nana,” Avril said. “Nana,” he called dreamingly. “Feels so good on my mouth. Tell me, how does she like her men?” he asked and Avril tapped her index finger on her lips. “She likes bold men. Men with authority and a well built body,” she answered. He moved backwards and spread out his arms. “Do you think I'm well built enough?” “Hmmm... Yeah. You're not like the men I've seen since I came here. But you'll do.” “Would she like me? My body I mean.” “Yes. She definitely would.” “Okay. I'm bold, very bold. And I have enough authority. Also, do you know?” he asked and beckoned on her to move closer with his ha
