I didn't bother much with the family history, focusing instead on the photos. Despite the fact that it had been 13 years, I knew I would recognize her the minute I saw her, her image has remained imprinted in my mind as clear as the day I met her. There hadn't been a day where I didn't think of her, there was no moment where she wasn't on my mind, there was no night she didn't grace my dreams with her enchanting presence, there was no second my heart didn't ache with longing for her, each and every day for the past 13 years, my little flame had been a constant presence in my mind, her hold on my heart so strong it didn't fade even a bit over the years, instead it grew stronger and stronger with each minute I didn't have her by my side.
I was holding on as best as I could but I truly didn't know how much longer my wolf and I would last without her, especially my wolf whose consciousness was already so weak, we needed her back in our lives, in our arms, and each and every day witKalen's POV~"We will be making our descent into the Murtala Muhammed international airport in approximately ten minutes Alpha, please fasten your seat belts and do not leave your seats until we are safely in the boarding zone."The voice of the pilot of my private jet reached me, I leaned back into my seat, keeping a calm facade despite almost shivering in anticipation.I shifted my gaze to the window, distracting myself with the calming scenery as we made our descent.The jet tilted slightly to the left and began a slow and steady turn. Down below, the ground looked like square plots on a huge map of some kind. Everything slowly came into view as we neared the ground, small cars heading down long highways of black ribbon came into view as well as various buildings of different sizes and shapes. A sudden bump indicated that the landing gear was released.Feeling my ears pop, I parted my lips slightly in an attempt to release the pressure. Trees and rooftops
"Well... what makes you think there'll be an after this? You think you'll be getting out of this? I'm the one who doesn't plan on letting you off...get the facts straight." I said in a cold, calm tone, the man shivered in fear at my tone."I.... I...I'm a manager at the prestigious Akunna corporation, you know Akunna corporation right? I can give you anything you want...is it money you need?... anything just name it...." He began pleading, I scoffed at his shameless use of the Akunna name."Money?.... I have that... infact... I have a lot of it.... your offer is really not interesting.... " I said slowly."You... didn't you hear I work for Akunna corporation, you know the president right, Ike Akunna? No one messes with him or his workers, if you value your life you'll let me go this instant and I will speak in your favor with him." He threatened again, this time, I threw my head back laughing, he was truly shameless, daring to mention my father's name after what he di
Kalen's POV~"We're sorry Alpha, Wren is still out there, we'll keep on searching." Johan said, I ignored him, shutting my eyes and leaning against the couch in my hotel room.It had been a week since we arrived in Lagos, a week since we'd been searching for her, a whole week and still nothing. I knew it wouldn't be easy to find her, this wasn't my territory so there was only so much I could do without causing offence.For the past week we had centered our search on Akunna corporation and it's subsidiaries here in Lagos, focusing mostly on the headquarters, since she was a scholarship recipient, she would definitely have to show up at some point, apart from that there wasn't much more we could do, we didn't even have a face to work with. We had tried the broadcasting company that hosted the interview but they were as clueless as we were."It seems we'll have to take the last resort." I said to Johan with my eyes still closed."I will contact the acting presi
"I.... I could call him...he probably hasn't gotten to the airport yet..." He offered in a shaky voice, I swallowed down my anger at his words, why the hell was he telling me that, if he could call him then he should just do it. I took a deep breath to calm myself but froze instantly as I inhaled a familiar scent, a scent I could never forget...."Mate...." I whispered, spinning around immediately, my eyes searching for her, Johan seemed to understand what was happening and raised a hand to silence the chief secretary who was about saying something else.My search came to a halt as my eyes landed on a young woman coming towards our direction from within the company, I couldn't make out her features as her visage was covered with a scarf she had wrapped around herself, only one thing was visible.... those eyes, a pitch black colour full of mystery and mischief, they drew me in instantly and as they lifted up to meet my gaze a puzzled look in them as they took me in.... I kn
She stared after the car for a while before pulling out her phone and probably calling a taxi. The taxi arrived a few minutes later and she got in after her suitcase was handled by the driver, the taxi took off and Wren turned to me, waiting for my instructions."Follow the taxi." I instructed Grey's contact whose name I still didn't know, he immediately pulled out and drove after the taxi.We followed the taxi for a long time, the sun had already gone down awhile ago, before the taxi finally turned into a random corner we couldn't follow, Grey's contact stopped the car by the side of the road and we waited, soon enough the taxi came out."She's not the one inside, it seems she's unto us." Johan observed, I raised an amused brow having come to the same conclusion, she knew she was being followed, she was smart, if it wasn't for our sense of smell, we probably would have driven after the taxi thinking she was still inside, she had exchanged with someone else, consideri
*****The young man stared emotionally at the beauty laying unconsciously on the bed, his cold heart fluttered as he took her in."God's she's beautiful!" He choked out, his voice filled with longing, desire and love. He didn't dare take his eyes off of her for a second, too scared it'd all turn out to be a dream and he'd wake up and realize she wasn't right there in front of him.He recalled his shock when he had lifted her unconscious body up into his arms and the veil fell off her face, he could've sworn his heart stopped beating for a split second, even Wren and Johan were shocked, she was stunningly beautiful. He had known she would grow up to be a beauty judging from her looks when she was a child but nothing could have prepared him for this sight.It had taken him a good few minutes to comport himself and since then his wolf and he had been writhing in barely concealed desire, it had been years since the young man had felt this way and it almost scar
"My head hurts....." I began in a low tone, he gave me an apologetic look and was about saying something but I cut him off."My head rarely hurts.... and when it does... I get really, really cranky, especially if it's because of someone...or in this case, someones....on that note, I will fucking kill each and everyone of you that had a hand in this..... just so you know, pass the information along to the rest." I told him in a deadly tone, the gaze in my eyes promised of gruesome retribution, the man stared warily at me not knowing if he should take me seriously or not, I shrugged casually returning to the bed and taking a seat... how seriously he took my words....that was his problem, my problem was to definitely follow through with my promise."Well...uhmm, that is, the room is stocked with everything you might need, I figured you might want to take a shower and all that...the bathroom is through there...." He said unsure, motioning towards the bathroom, I didn't bother
Think Miwa... think..." I mumbled, standing up and pacing around the room, a knock on the door pulled me out of my reverie, I turned to glare at the door."Didn't you understand the meaning of fuck off ?" I asked darkly as Wren poked his head into the room after a while of me not responding to his knocks, he breathed out a sigh of relief when he saw I was still inside, pushing open the door and coming in with a tray."I thought you had left." He said in a relieved tone, placing the tray on the table in the sitting area, my eyes trailing him the whole way."Left... I think you meant escape, left can only be used if I was here of my own free will which I'm not and concerning that, I will, I just haven't yet...but I will." I said in the same tone, he glanced at me with a warning look."Please don't...the Alpha won't like that." He said to me, his tone a mixture of a warning and a plea, my eyes narrowed at him."Alpha? That guy? Is that like a code name for him
