Leo’s POVThe job at Albert’s Garage was always interesting. We had numerous clients bringing in their luxury vehicles and motorcycles. Albert was renowned for his ability to fix and restore anything. Working with him and the guys was one of the highlights of my life. I was always good at building and fixing anything. Even from young age, I somehow knew instinctively how to put things together, use creative ways and even fix complicated stuff on a tight budget. This came in very handy over the years when things around our home broke and we could not afford new ones. Emma was clumsy, one would think that she was gifted a gift of destroying appliances and cars and been given me as a brother simply to repair them. I smiled gently thinking of my sister and checked my messages again. She made it safely to the interview. The tightness in my chest released and I was focusing on polishing the Royce the boss said was being picked up this afternoon. I really need to talk to Emma I thought. I was
The uncomfortable silence has fallen since Mr. Locke’s last statement. Somehow, although it lasted couple of minutes it seemed forever. The temperature in the room rose and I felt as if I am boiling. I briefly glanced at the thermostat across on the wall and it is showing 75 degrees. Yet, I feel that I am inside a furnace and look for more water to drench my thirst. Mr. Locke has not moved a muscle. His amber piercing eyes are on me, looking straight through me and I must steady my hands and remember why I am here. “Miss Brook?” I hear his deep husky voice and simply say: “Yes?” “Have I satisfied your question regarding the paperwork? Do you have any additional questions, or would you like to accept the job?”I squirm uncomfortably as something is nagging me. Why would he hire somebody like me? I blurt that question out and clarify “I have no experience in finance field or even being a personal assistant”. His expression was indescribable. He sighs continuing to look at me as if I wer
Kal’s POV Today was stressful to say at least. I was still trembling from seeing Emma, the realization that she is Catherine’s child overpowered my every sense. Seeing her eyes, so much like her mother’s nearly broke me. “Catherine, I miss you so much” I thought to myself. Since her death I have buried myself into conflicts, work, expanding my already expansive empire, creating immeasurable wealth, helping orphans and widows of our kind, creating more dragons, essentially anything to keep my mind off the fact that I lost her. I did not want to admit to myself, but part of me died with her. “Emma has her mother’s heart”, Beast appeared. “She is brave and kind like her”, he stated. My chest was tightening about to explode. I needed to find some answers, I needed to understand what happened there. There was something else I sensed about her, but I could not identify it. A strange sensation, as if belonging of some kind. “We belonged to Catherine, and she to us, so of course you will feel
Lily POVAs I sat there with Mateo and Daisy by my feet, I noticed a flutter in her tummy. Ah, the Luna is pregnant. I wondered if she knew yet, but life was within her, and I could tell they will be twins. An immense joy filled me. Daisy was a beautiful person and a fierce Luna to her pack. She will make a terrific mother. I looked at her beautiful face and stroked her back. Her chocolate yes beamed at me, and we mind linked. “Congratulations daughter!!!” I said. She howled with joy . Mateo nudged his mate, and they simply were beaming together. Their babies reminded me of a different time, different water front at the beginning of it all.Kal was my first creation. After him, there came others. His sister, Thalia was my beautiful baby girl. I entrusted her the seas and waters of this world. Next came, light and with them the King of Elves and Fairies. Alwyin was my third, mischievous soul from beginning. There was never a time where he would not create something funny out of situatio
Emma POVWell, that surely was a weird interview I think to myself. As I rush out of the building, shaking, and trying to focus on my thoughts, I really do not know what to think of all of this. I felt as if I stepped into alternative reality and was now stepping back from some weird dream. It seemed that the interview lasted hours when it was no more than hour and few minutes. I arranged to meet Myra and Nicholas around 1:30so I had some spare time. On my way out, I see Angie at her desk. “Miss Brook” I hear her melodic voice. I turn around and she gives me a smile. “I do hope you join us, it will be lovely to have you with the company Miss Brook” she says. That was very kind of her, but I was utterly confused and did not know what to think of everything. “Err.. Ms. Angela” I mumble, I need to talk to my brother still, you know” I say shuffling my hands nervously. She nods. “He is not that bad, you know”, she smiles. “He Who? What are you talking about????” “Mr. Locke, he’s not that
The tea was warm, minty and oh so good. The aroma was filling my nostrils, calming me down with its rich supple goodness. However, I was not sure if it was tea or being away from Mr. Locke but I was starting to calm down, trying to put this strange day behind me and looking forward to seeing my childhood friends. I texted Leo who said he was on the way to deliver client’s vehicle and would meet with us later. This day is looking up after all I smile to myself. I thought of my childhood memories, almost every one of them was filled with Nick and Myra, the irreplicable people in our lives. I do not know what would have happened to us, had we had to live in a foster care, I thought to myself. They would have probably separated Leo and me, had Nicholas’ and Myra’s parents not stepped up to be our guardians. My secret dream, not even Leo knew about was to adopt, in addition to having children of my own. If I ever “made it”, and became rich or even wealthy, my other secret dream was to help
Amelia POV I was walking briskly back to the corner of the exit from left of the main building. Well, that is how we call it anyway. The whole downtown belongs to the King in one way or another. We have several buildings right on Wilshire to be able to assist him, including the underground tunnels where he housed some of his dragons. When I got promoted as Deputy Head of his Security team, I had to be close nonstop, as did the rest of the team. The King was a mighty warrior, and his power was unmatched, however, there were those who would hurt people around him to hurt him – as he was fiercely loyal and protective of his extended family. “Are you sure you succeeded????”, Valor boomed in my head… “Yes brother, I did. .It is a temporary tracker though, it will last but two weeks max”, I say.. “That will be enough” he cuts me off. “What did you sense???” Valor’s question came back through the link. I knew he would ask this, and for this, I was not prepared. “Well, errr… nothing. I felt
Leo POV Driving through the traffic of Los Angeles is never fun. However, when you are driving a BEAST of a car, life gets much sweeter, I thought to myself!!!! Theo and I have set out to Beverly Hills gated community to deliver the vehicles to the client, as requested. The sun was shining brightly, crystal clear skies, cool breeze, and amazingly smooth ride with roaring monsters of cars! I could get used to this, I chuckled. Driving up to the hills, I glanced back at the city, on the road overlooking ocean – the view was incredible, a setting something out of the movie! Some days I really loved my job!!! Pulling in front of large iron cast gates, a huge buff security guard, built like a house welcomed us. He looked like a WWE fighter standing at around my height, every muscle defined under his black uniform with a strange purple insignia I never saw in my life. He looked at us as if he were scanning us for a few moments, and then nodded. That was intense, I thought. “I see you bro
