CHAPTER 036CALLUM’S POVI halted in front of the small brown door, my heart beating nervously in my chest. My hand watered tremendously on the box I was carrying. I was more than nervous. Heck, I was scared. What if she was inside? I did not bother to check if she was still working when I left the house. All I did was wrap the gift and be on my way so I could meet up with her sister before she returned.But now that I was here the question boiled within me, what if she was inside? I managed to place the gift on the floor, the brown paper I had used in packaging it, making its crinkling sound as I dropped it on the floor. I closed my eyes, steadying my breath and taking in multiple deep sighs before finally raising my hand to do the door and knocking.I knocked once at first, then twice. Then I bent down to put the large box back into my hand. I picked up the sound of someone approaching with my wolf senses, another gulp of my saliva going to my bloodstream before the door opened, re
CHAPTER 037ALICIA’S POVI wore my second pair of earrings, taking a long last look at myself. My lips shimmered with the red lipstick I used and my face shiny with the powder I used. I turned and walked out of the room, making my way down the stairs. I was just about to reach the door to open it when I heard someone yell out my name, or probably not my name but in a respectful manner,The guard got in front of me and bowed, “I apologize my lady, but the alpha has asked me to tell you to come to his office right now. It’s something important.” He said. “The alpha sent for me?” I repeated, my brows raised up in disbelief and curiosity.I thought we had both made it clear to each other that we did not do any of this. I don’t want to eat with him, and hear words that’ll hurt me or even be in the same place with him. “I’m already on my way out, I can’t go back. Please tell him…“He said it was urgent, and you have to come. He told me not to return without bringing you with him.”A threa
CHAPTER 038ALICIA’S POV.“I need to leave now. I have to rest, I feel an ache coming up in my head,” I said and stood up from the chair I was seated in.He grabbed my hand instantly, our eyes meeting each other again before slowly muttering the words, “Sit and stay with me, Alicia. Stay with me.” I sat down immediately like someone being compelled, his hand not leaving mine until I was fully seated and after some minutes. My eyes moved from one part of the wall to another, from one object to another, from one thing to another. It was all I’ve been doing since morning, talking and watching.The priestess had gone to somewhere unplanned and she could not meet me, and since then I’ve been stuck with Alexander who for some reason is not letting me go and I’m also not letting myself go. I tapped my hand on my laps, drumming quietly with my orbs still stretching all over.“Fine, let’s go home. I’ll escort you.” He stood up, his hand stretched out at me.There was something about his hand
Chapter 120Owen stood before the mirror, his reflection staring back at him. He was tired and he needed to do this, he needed to prove to the family that he was worthy to rule the company, the family had been in controversy ever since the arrest of Mr. Reynold and it was hard to manage them, he let out another sigh and he adjusted his tie, straightened his shoulders, and took a deep breath. Today was the day he would step out and lead the company in a new direction, he needed to take full control of the company. Exiting his house, Owen felt the weight of responsibility settling on his shoulders. The drive to the company was filled with contemplation, his mind running through the upcoming meeting with the board members. He knew he had to make a strong impression, to assert his vision for the company's future. He finally made it to the company and he saw his secretary, who quickly rushed over to collect the bag he was holding. “Everyone is waiting for you in the boardroom,” he said
Chapter 121“We have to meet father, we have to tell him this! Where could he have escaped to”Hayden stated feeling confused and frustrated, he ran his hand over his head and doesn’t know what to feel anymore.“Yeah we should! I don’t want to imagine what uncle Reynold might be doing right now, we have to be faster than him”Owen replied and he nodded. Owen and Hayden rushed to meet with Mr. Richard, their minds were filled with worry and urgency. The news of Mr. Reynold's escape had sent shockwaves through them that was unexplainable, and they knew they had to act fast to prevent any further harm.L Owen and Hayden entered Mr. Richard's office, they were met with a scene of agitation. Mr. Richard paced back and forth, his brows furrowed in frustration. Without waiting for an invitation, Owen and Hayden launched into a detailed explanation of the events that had transpired, their words punctuated by Mr. Richard's growing anger."Uncle Reynold's escaped," Owen announced, his voice tense
Chapter 122Hayden was restless, he could hardly sleep at night as he kept on thinking about the escape of Snr Reynold, he knew his escape was going to prove more threat than the Martins’ own, and Mr. Reynold won’t hesitate to have his revenge on them and what worries him most is that he doesn’t know who was going to be his first victim. Looking at himself in the mirror and adjusting his tie, he knew there wasn’t much he could do and all he could do right now was to be vigilant and careful, so he stepped out of his house and went inside his car driving to the company.He went straight to his office ignoring the greeting of the workers, he sat down to get engrossed in the day’s work perhaps that way he wouldn’t have the time to think much about everything happening before him. Hayden raised his head as Mr. Richard stepped into his office, he heard a faint knock and a click of the door followed that revealed Mr Richard. Mr Richard’s eyes immediately registered the weariness etched on
