LOGINTHIRD PERSON POVSilas's hand lowered away from his ear and fell on the bed. His phone had been in his hand and he had just received some news that was making his stomach very hot. How did things always end up going so wrong? For once, why couldn't things not just go according to his plan? It was like they were untouchable all of a sudden. He had put in so much to see to it that they ruined their lives and made them pay for what they did to him but nothing was working. And as if that was not enough, he just received another news. Another of his plans had failed all because of that little witch. Why was she just ruining things for him? Why couldn't she just stay out of it completely? He had to do something about her, take her out of the picture as quickly as possible so that he could sleep peacefully again. But she was tough and she could always see things coming from a thousand miles and that's how she gets to stop them. Her senses are always at alert. He got out of bed and put o
MIA“Where did you say you were going again?” For the three thousandth time, I sighed, knowing that Elara was going to make me repeat the same thing I'd told her over and over since she came here..It's not like she hadn't heard me all the other times, it's just that she wanted me.to keep telling her, hoping that I'd hear myself and correct my statement.“I know what you're doing, Elara and it's not going to work. I'm going regardless of whether you approve or not.”“Listen, I'm not trying to be a stump in your plan-”“Then how come you already are?”She gave me a look and I went back to packing my bags. “I'm just trying to be the voice of reason in everything and I'm hoping that I can persuade you not to go there. Xavier can bring your things back for you if that's what you're worried about, you don't have to do all that yourself.”I stopped moving and sighed, turning around to look her dead in the eye. “Elara, you and I have gone through it all so I don't think there is anything
MIA“You're right to say I never hit you or thought or raised my hand on you. That's how much I still loved you even after what you did. I should have sent men after you to kill you just like the men in the family wanted me to but you were my elder brother, the only one I had. I could bring myself to do it. I let you be and I let you grow to where you are today. But never in all my years did I stand by and watch a man hit a woman. If you weren't my blood, you'd be dead with your brain scattered on the floor. But the next time you want to do it, remember that Mia saved my life and she's the reason I'm alive and I won't hesitate to take a life for her. For the first time in thirty years, you call me your brother and acknowledge that indeed, we have a blood relation. It's just marvelling that you would wait until.now to do it but I'll take what I can get. Don't lay your hands on my family again.”He frowned deeply, looking at me first. “Family? Your family? Xavier is not even married to
MIAMarcus was waiting for a response. I didn't mean to be heard but I had been and now, I had to say something. I didn't have to, I just had to. Everyone was tired of his bullshit. “Yes, I do. The only reason you came here was because you heard Xerxes was dying and not to see your long lost brother. It's pathetic. You wave your wealth around like it's a flag and you lust after the little others people have. Rather than hand the Volkov wealth over to you, Xerxes would rather watch it burn to the ground or hand it to Xavier. Yes, that same child that you disowned and said was no good because he would never have your wealth would have inherited the very same reason you killed your father. You will never get a strand of hair from this family. And you want to say William is violent? If he's violent, you're berserk. If I hadn't known Xavier, Xerxes and Kaan, I would have said that madness ran in the veins of the Volkov men but that wouldn't be true because I've met these men and I know wh
MIA“Sometimes, I wonder where I went wrong with you.”He paused, looking Xavier up and down and trying to give that look that once intimidated him a long time ago. But not anymore. He had grown past that and I was so glad. “No, I didn't go wrong. You're the one who decided to act like a bastard and not the son of an Alpha that you are. You decided to team up with everybody I hate and work against me. I tried to save you, Xavier. I really did but you're not helping me. As if that was not enough, you played me to my face, you played me so well, I didn't know I was getting played. I disowned you and you haven't even come crawling to beg for forgiveness.”Xavier interrupted him. “Beg you? For what? So you'll gloat and boast that I came back to you? I don't need you and I'm proving that by staying away from you, I didn't want to have anything to do with you. Everything that you think you have is now yours and you're free to give it to who you want to, I don't care anymore. Just stay awa
MIAIt was only after I'd woken up that I remembered the words I heard at the game. The words went on and on in my head like it was on replay. I couldn’t bring myself to forget them because I knew they were important. There was something about the book of spells they didn't want me to find out. Perhaps the kind of power that it carried, some secret it hid. Even though they didn't know why they didn't want me to go after it, the thought of me yielding that book was enough to put them in a frenzy. Hence the main reason why I couldn't stop looking for it. Even though I didn't know exactly where to look, the search wouldn't stop. That aside, what they said about Elara was another thing. What did that mean? I couldn't understand what they meant by that. I hadn't even seen her in a very long time so I didn't exactly know. She wasn't who she said she was? Maybe they were lying. They just wanted me to suspect her and keep an eye on her when I should be doing something else. It was a ta
XAVIERMy father's calls were beginning to annoy me. Today of all days that I planned to do something important, he just had to ruin it by calling me endlessly. Black and I had decided that I was going to do it and he would come with me. Obviously, he wasn't stupid enough to go with me in a car b
MIAThe Dark Light. When the taxi stopped outside the store, a feeling hit my gut. I had been so captivated by the whole thing that I forgot to pay the taxi. There was this thing that kept drawing me into the shop but by the time I walked in, I walked right into darkness. Well, I guess I knew w
XAVIERIt was already too late. I didn't get to look at the footage until the following week. Not because I forgot but because I had so much work to do. I had come back to school to avoid the issues of the pack and now, I had come to face the issues of school. Coach dropped it on me that we had
MIAThe last time I had done something like this was…never. When my mates were busy going off to malls to shop or parties to kiss boys and lose their virginities or getting arrested, I sat at home with my father, learning ways on how to please Silas. Yes, he had out it in my head for years that I
