LOGINTessaThe car finally slows before a big mansion and my heart stutters. The gates slide open, revealing the height of the building. To my surprise, guards and maids are lined up before the entrance, dressed in a different uniform different from Renric's servants.Kael opens the car door for me, smiling triumphantly. The moment I step out, he grabs my hands, pulling me closer to him as he caresses my forehead. My whole body shivers instability, fear creeping in, my heart beating so fast.“We are finally home my little wolf,” he whispers, the sensation of his touch scaring me further.He pecks my forehead and we walk away from the garage, the servants bowing as we get closer.“Welcome back, sir.”Welcome back? This isn't a new apartment, he probably had had this place for a long time now.He leans closer the moment we enter inside the house, his breath brushing against my ear, sending a chill down my spine.“My brother can’t find you here,” he murmurs softly. “You have nothing to worry
TessaDays later.I sit on my new bed, my mind spiralling. I haven't stepped out since morning, what's the essence? This whole place feels like a cage.Nothing feels right anymore.Kael isn't making things easy for me, he winks at me whenever he notices my discomfort like he is ridiculing me, like he is savoring it. The best I could do was to begin avoiding his presence.And Renric? I haven't heard from him and it sincerely bothers me. He hasn't even returned to the colony and according to Juana, it is Lucy who is currently handling the affairs there.It still doesn't make any sense for him to leave home for too long. I really hope he is doing okay.I take a deep breath and quickly I pick up my phone from the bed. Without hesitation, I scrolled for his phone number. This is what I should have done a long time ago.I stare at his name on the screen. Would he really want to speak to me?I shake my head, there is only one way to find out . I press the call button, my heart beating so fas
Tessa“So what now?” Bianca throws her hands in the air. “What exactly is supposed to happen now?”No one answers. For a while, they just glance at each other. Regardless, Kael doesn't seem bothered like Lucy and Bianca. He simply just dips his two hands into his pants’ pockets.Lucy on the other hand glares at me like she is trying to contain her temper. She throws her gaze to Kael and says, “you're the worst brother to ever exist.” She then walks away.“You will pay for this,” Bianca cuts in, stepping towards me. “That, I can assure you.” Then she turns and leaves too.I stare at Kael still trying to understand everything, why he is so calm and has no guilt towards betraying his own brother and most importantly how he knew Miriam killed herself.“We should leave now,” he says, walking over to where his suitcase is and picking it up. “Come on,” he heads towards the door.I don’t move, my feet rooted to the ground, my mind still spinning.He stops, turns and realises I’m still standin
Tessa“You're leaving… fantastic!” Renric says raising his whiskey bottle to Kael.To my surprise, Kael wraps his hand around mine. My eyes widen in shock as I stare back at Renric who seems confused.“We’re leaving,” Kael says calmly, not bothering about the consequences of his words.Instantly, I pull my hands away from his, stepping back like I’ve been burned. My gaze flickers to Renric, whose brows are furrowed. I quickly look away even as I feel Kael’s eyes on me.“You must be sick in the head if you think I’ll stand here and watch you coerce my wife into following you.”“Coerce?” Kael scoffs, “Brother…. Does she look coerced?”Renric glances at me and my heart skips a beat. I tighten my both palms together, fear creeping in. “You agreed to leave with him? Have you lost your senses?”I shake my head quickly, but no words come out. I don’t even know what I would say. All I know is that I shouldn't be here anymore, the more time I stay, the more I risk him finding out and I real

Tessa My fingers hover over the screen.Kael: We can still run away.I really can't do this to Renric. A part of me enjoys him, a part of me craves to be around him. But then, I also like being around Kael. Gosh! Why can't the three of us live together happily? Can that be possible?If I tell Kael about the pregnancy, would it make him stay back?My mind is still spinning and another message pops up.Kael: You have a choice to make and you have to make it now. I’m leaving with or without you and I’m leaving now.My breath catches. Now?I grab the nearest clothes, throw them on with shaking hands, and rush for the door. The guards outside straighten immediately, bowing as I pass.My heart is pounding too loudly. What is he really thinking?I rush down the corridor, my steps uneven, my thoughts louder than everything else.Then instantly I halt, my gaze now on Renric who is seated alone by the bar, a bottle of whiskey in his hand, his posture slightly slouched in a way I’ve never seen
TessaI swallow. “She’s weak.”“She's dormant because she's wounded,” he whispers into my ears from behind, letting me feel the warmth of his breath. “And she won’t heal if you keep her caged.” He steps in front of me. “You have to stress her. Push her…. That’s how wolves recover faster.”“All this
TessaI shift myself a bit to extract myself from him but his hand doesn't slip off, instead, it balances properly on me.I exhale as my eyes drift to his golden hair. I’ve never noticed it this closely before. Wow, it looks so soft and tender like he conditions it every morning.I bet he does. Gen
Tessa“You will be dying with honor… A privilege most murderous criminals do not share.”My stomach twists. Dying with honour?My lips part, but no sound escapes. I am dumbfounded. I shake my head slowly and begin to leave.“Unbelievable..” I whisper.When I get to the door, I suddenly feel a sharp
TessaMy breath turns shallow as I stare at the cardigan in my hands. The letter is gone.Slowly, the cardigan falls off my hands and I don't bother to pick it up. My gaze now remains on my opened bag as my mind begins to race.Who could have taken it?I haven’t unpacked the bag since I arrived her
