"Mr Cruz!" She called walking seductively towards him. "I didn't expect to see you here."He muttered a "hmmm" without looking at her. He walked past her into the school but that didn't stop his heart from beating a mile a minute.She twisted her lips and smiled. He couldn't look in her eyes, that means she somehow affected him and that was what she wanted.With that in mind, she walked into the school. But immediately froze. She wasn't expecting to see everyone who was involved in the demise of her family together at the same time.Her breathing became faster as her heart beat a million miles a minute. It was like she was reliving the moment again. She could hear the screams of her mother and father. She could see Juan dealing blows to her already bleeding father. She could hear her mother scream "Run, run", as they tried to escape the open house."Dad! Please let him go!" She kept screaming but they wouldn't stop hitting her father. "Papá! Papá!""Just sign the darn document." Jua
In the dark room, a woman was seated, with a glass of wine in her hand. Her eyes were filled with anger, hate, and madness as she stared at the screen before her.The screen showed the top wealthiest family having a business conference. But her focus was on Mateo and Maria Cruz. They had a happy smile plastered on their faces and it made her blood boil. She couldn't stand the fact that they were happy when they had been the one responsible for her demise.She took her eyes off the screen and decided to take a swig of her drink. She would let them have their moment before she did something drastic. She would make sure they suffered twice over.Stepping back from the screen, she began to walk through the stacks of the library. Her anger and bitterness fueled her to move faster than normal. Her hunger for revenge consumed her, and she took one last look at the screen.Furious, she went into the room with the hidden door in the library.She kicked the door open and walked over to the com
chapter 6She stepped out of the bath tub and wrapped herself with a towel and went into her room. She stood before the huge mirror and undid her hair, letting it fall down and down until it fell down her shoulder blades.She was a beautiful young woman.She looked to her left and examined her full lips in the mirror.She took out her lip gloss and put on a little color.She took out a brush and started to brush her long flowing hair, letting it fall down.She was lost in her own thoughts, looking at her black, strapless dress on the vanity.She tugged at the towel wrapped around her chest and pulled it lower.Her naked breasts were still very firm, and her nipples were a deep, dark pink.She let the towel fall completely off, revealing her curvy naked body.She ran her hands through her wet hair and looked back at her reflection in the mirror.She was beautiful and she knew it.She was sure she would get any man that she wanted, if she wanted them.She let her eyes wander to the top
6:45am, Olivia barged into the house, startling Diego. She was panting and gasping for air. "Have you been running?" Diego asked with a surprised look on his face.She fell on the couch, trying to compose herself. "you said I should hurry up. My car broke down on the way and I had to run here.""You should change your car. it has been..."Are you going to tell me what it is or you're just going to start your lecture on why I need a new car."Diego shook his head. "Do you remember Amelia?""Amelia? Amelia...Ame...wait! That little girl? The one we saved from those goons? The daughter of uuummm...What's his name? ¿Cómo se llama?""Alexander..."Alexander Chavez. Sí, What happened to her?"He handed her the note. A shocked gasped escaped her already agaped mouth. "Is she really the one?""It says so in the note." He pushed the box towards her. "She also added those.""Oooh! That is a lot of money. Whatever became of her?""I have no idea. She cut all ties when she left. I don't know wh
Mateo stayed late in the office again but today, it wasn't intentional. He had gathered a few members of the board to discuss an important matter."Here you are, sir,""I'm grateful." He said collecting the file. He looked at everyone present. "The LD properties listing on the New York Stock Exchange is dangerous, according to the findings."If that doesn't work, additional divisions..."There are no arguments against Las Güeros' New York listing." he said cutting of the man that had spoken. "It is a necessity, which is why we are pressing for it." He sighs. "Thus, the term "fail" is no longer acceptable. Try to solve whatever issue you perceive to be a problem within that period. Have you got it?"They all agreed, "Yes."He swung around to face his assistant. "Tell the head of the distribution unit that he needs to see me first thing in the morning before the meeting starts.""Yes sir!" he said bowing slightly.The meeting came to an end but he still stayed back. He didn't like going
Sitting in the private room they had paid for, Mateo struggled to keep his composure. Seated with the two people he loathed the most made him squirm. There was a large television in the corner of the room, showing MTV.It was hard to pay attention to the TV when he had someone on the other side of the table, scrutinizing every inch of him.The atmosphere was suffocating and made it hard to breath.Mateo kept his gaze locked on the small television screen.He hadn't spoken a word since he'd arrived.The waiters began to serve them but it seemed they were serving more than they should. "This is too much, we're just three, there's no more...."Juan Dominic will be joining us."his father-in-law, Santiago said.He groaned silently. Just when he thought the atmosphere could not get any worse.He knew better than to complain, but this was way too much.He wondered how he had been able to deal with them for so long without loosing his mind. The door opened ushering in Juan. "¡Dios mio! I am
"good morning sir.""Welcome sir.""Buenos días señor""A pleasant morning to you sir.""Bienvenido señor "Diego nodded with a smile as he was greeted on his arrival to work. He did not go straight to his office. He had a document in his hand that he intended to give to Olivia. He had been calling her but she wasn't answering.The moment he stepped into her office,the two Assistants he had assigned to her stood up to greet him."Where is Olivia? I have been selling her but she is nowhere to be found.""Sí señor. She went to a nearby hotel for a meeting and she will be coming back in the afternoon. She forgot to take her phone with her."'clumsy as always' he mumbled under his breath when he saw her phone on her desk.He dropped the file on her desk. This survey is lacking in facts and the statistics are just based on perception, the numbers do not reflect the reality. She did not take my help, she should know better than to be so careless. Tell her what I just said and have her meet
Li-lah did the finishing touches to her make-up and in less than Two minutes, she was set to go. She rushed out of her room down to the living room. "Lia! Hurry up and come down. We're running late." "I'll be down in a sec." Lia called back and rushed down the stairs. At that moment, Samantha walked into the living room. "Going out?""Yeah! There's a parent teacher meeting in Lia's school concerning the event.""Oh! I see. Isn't it a bit to early to start attending those? Won't it affect your plans."Li-lah smiled. "This is part of the plan. I've been able to see Mateo and know how to get to him. Now I need to get close to his wife too. Observe her circle of friends and acquaintances and see how to strike there.""That sounds challenging. What if she doesn't like you?""She will," said Li-lah, "or she will become very cautious. I will be subtle.""It's alright. Just be careful."Lia looked at Samantha and smiled. "Don't worry. I'll be fine."Samantha waved good bye and walked back t
Chapter 5: The Binding SpellKayla laid on the floor, unconscious. Somewhere inside her mind, she felt herself drift into nothingness. In her mind's eye, she was perched in a corner, her arms around her, with her knee drawn to her chin. She rocked back and forth, unable to shake the feeljng that she was trapped in her own mind. She tried to scream but words refused to form and her very self seemed to fade. The words she wished to utter only echoed in her mind's mind. "Kayla." A small but firm voice called. "Its Lena, your wolf."She heard it, the voice she'd longed to hear for so long."Listen to me kayla. I know you're angry about what happened to your mother, but there's so much you don't yet know. You can't destroy the Redstone pack."Her mouth didn't move but she communed with her wolf. "You show up now? After all these years? You spoke to me once and disappeared after that. My own wolf abandoned me.""I was only trying to protect you, as was your mother. She never meant for
4The room smelled of burning incense and melting wax. It was not a large space but was enough to fit in a brown mahogany table, two wooden chairs and a small bed at the corner. An old clock ticked away on the wall, the sound waking Kayla up from her seeming slumber.Kayla's eyes widened as she realized the strangeness of the environment. She looked around, her blank mind trying to fill in a very important piece of information that was missing from her mind. " where are we?" She asked how the hell did i get here?" "There's an old friend of mine I'd like to talk to." The devil's voice rang from within her. "We need to talk about some boundaries.." She stopped, realizing she had no idea what to call him. "Do you have a name?""Kael." He said after a brief silence and his voice echoed inside her brain."How do you make me do what you want without even realizing it kael? The last thing I remember was waking up in the forest.""Well, we both share your body now, vessel..""Kayla..my nam
Chapter 3: A Second ChanceKayla opened her eyes quickly and cried out for air. Everything around her was spinning, and for a brief moment, she believed she was still in a horrible place. But no, this was not the same. The air was warm and smelled like cooked meat and flowers. She opened her eyes and surveyed the area. She found herself in the staff rooms of Alpha Luther's large property. From a tiny window, she observed the vast courtyard where the biweekly Alpha meeting was happening.Her heart skipped a beat. It was all familiar. Not the staff quaters alone - she'd lived here for the most part of her life- but this night felt like deja vu. This was impossible, but considering that she'd just died in the woods and met with the devil, everything was pretty much possible. This night - this exact moment - was burned into her memory. It was the night her mother died. "No," Kayla whispered, clutching her chest as the realization hit her. "This can't be real."But everything was as sh
chapter 2: a deal with the devil Kayla laughed. It was not a nervous laugh or a soft giggle - it was a loud, unstoppable laugh, the type that comes when things around you are just too strange to understand. She grabbed her stomach, shaking her head."You expect me to believe this? she said between fits of laughter. "You? The devil? And me your avatar? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever -"Before she was done, a loud noise filled the room. The air got hot as fire burst from the person's hand, forming a bright ball of flames. Suddenly, he threw it at her.Kayla yelled, lifting her hands up to protect herself. The dark object stuck to her hand, shining brightly as it created a shield around her. The fireball hit the shield and bounced back at the figure. He lifted his arm to block it, clenching his teeth as the force of the hit sent waves of energy across the room.The room fell silent, the only sound the crackling of the still-burning flames surrounding them. The devil's eyes
Chapter 1: meeting the devilHer breaths came in gasps as she pushed herself forward, one foot after the other in a speed she never knew she possessed. "Lena please." She begged, calling to her wolf but she didn't respond. She hadn’t been able to get through to her for years. But in this desperate moment, she tried. She had no other choice. The silence greeted her, just like it did when they lost contact. It had been that way ever since. She didn't see the huge log In front of her and she tripped on it, falling. A sharp wood pierced her through on her side and her hand flew to her mouth to muffle her screams. She shut her eyes tight and opened them again, blinking back tears. While one hand pulled out the wood, the other one pressed against the wound. It did no much good since the blood kept seeping out. Tears flowed freely from her eyes now. She couldn't do this anymore. She'll give up and let them catch her but her mother's voice rang in her head. "protect it with your life. You m
The winds of change swept through the air as Amelia stepped onto the plane, her heart heavy with the weight of all that she was leaving behind. Mexico had been a place of love, betrayal, heartbreak, and redemption. It had shaped her in ways she could never fully explain. But it was time to move on. She leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes as memories of her family, of Mateo, and of everything they had endured together, flooded her mind. She thought of the quiet moments she had shared with Mateo—the stolen glances, the tender touches, the unspoken words that had once bridged the distance between them. Those moments would forever be etched in her heart, but they were not enough to keep her tethered to a past that no longer served her. Her family—her mother, her father—had been the driving forces behind her fight. Their memories were now the foundation of her resolve. She would honor them by living a life that was not shaped by the darkness that had consumed them but by the stren
The tension in the warehouse was unbearable, the air thick with fear and desperation. Maria stood at the center of the room, her gun trembling in her hand, her child clutched tightly in the other arm. The sound of her erratic breathing echoed in the otherwise silent space. Amelia could feel the weight of the moment, the gravity of everything that had led up to this point. She glanced at Mateo, standing to her left, his face a mix of anger and concern. They had cornered Maria—this was it. The endgame. “Maria,” Amelia called, her voice steady but urgent, “put the gun down. You don’t want to do this. You’ve already lost.” Maria’s eyes darted around the room, panic and defiance battling for control. “You have no idea what I’ve lost!” she hissed, her grip tightening on the weapon. “You’ve taken everything from me. My power, my family… my future.” Amelia took a slow, deliberate step forward, her heart pounding in her chest. She could see the desperation in Maria’s eyes. She could se
The day had arrived. Amelia stood at the podium, her heart racing as the cameras flashed in front of her. The press conference was set, and today, Maria would be exposed for the monster she truly was. Amelia had prepared for this moment for weeks—gathering evidence, making connections, and ensuring that nothing could be dismissed as a lie. This was the moment of reckoning. Amelia glanced down at the folder in front of her. Inside were the irrefutable documents that would bring Maria to justice—details of her illegal activities, her involvement in her father’s crimes, and the horrifying truth behind the murder of Amelia’s mother. Every piece of evidence was meticulously organized, every lie Maria had spun unraveling before her. As she looked out at the sea of reporters and cameras, Amelia felt the weight of what she was about to do. Maria had taken everything from her—her family, her love, her peace of mind—and now, it was time to take it all back. She took a deep breath before beg
The night was heavy with unspoken words as Amelia walked into the private ballroom. She had agreed to meet Mateo under the pretense of settling their differences, but deep down, she knew this meeting would be anything but peaceful. This was the final chapter of their story—the last time their paths would cross before the consequences of everything they’d done came crashing down. Mateo stood by the grand windows, his back to her, staring out at the city below. His shoulders were tense, his profile etched with the weight of everything he had lost. The moment Amelia stepped into the room, he turned to face her, his eyes meeting hers with a mix of pain and longing. “I didn’t think you’d come,” he said softly, though there was a trace of relief in his voice. “I couldn’t let it end like this, Mateo,” Amelia replied, her voice steady but betraying a flicker of emotion. “We have unfinished business.” He took a few steps closer, his gaze never leaving hers. “You’ve made your choice, Am
