“Have you found any information yet?” I asked on phone as I headed to Mr. Luther’s class. “No at all boss but I assure you I’ll give you a name soon.” Damon answered and I grunted. “Soon is not enough Damon. Those things they stole from my lair are worth millions! I need a name by tonight!” I asserted and didn’t wait for his response before hanging up on him. And with pride, I entered the lecturers class with two guards postured behind me. The young man in his early thirties froze the moment he saw me. I threaded to one of the empty seats at the back not giving a darn about the surprised looks I got from the class. I crossed my legs over the table and pulled a cigarette and lighter out. “I’m sorry class but we’ll have to postpone. Something urgent came up.” Luther said and the class slowly dispersed. “Boss,” Luther said as he approached me. I puffed. “Boss? Oh come on Luther. You and I know your boss gave me three days to step down as Silver Clawers leader. No need for this faca
Yes, I was jealous! I didn’t know why but I hated it so much to see Autumn with my brother. She should be mine! And that was the only reason why I was attending this stupid function anyways. I knew he would ask her to come with him and my guess was right. As much as I was irritated to see both of them together, I admired her dazzling backless high slit red gown.“Ash, you came.” Leon mumbled in a not so excited tone. The mayor grunted while Autumn kept staring at me as if she wanted to read my mind. “Of course, this function is for the businessmen of New Orleans of which I’m part of, so why should I miss it?” I smirked while scooping a glass of champagne from the one of the men servants tray that walked past us. My eyes fell on her waist where his hands were and I almost crushed the glass. “Of course,” Leon smiled but we both knew it was fake. “You enjoy yourself. Autumn and I still have other people to meet.” They beamed at each other before and I felt like punching the shit out of
I touched my lips, still struck in awe as I watched Ash saunter away from me with pride. I recalled every second of it, how his soft lips had claimed mine in a possessive manner. What baffled me the most was that even though I was mad at him, I thoroughly enjoyed it more than Leon’s. My wolf cheered like she had just won a lottery, she wasn’t even this way with Leon. I didn’t know how long the majority of us froze for but it certainly took a while. I glanced at Leon behind me and all I could see was rage, not at me but his brother. He felt like punching the shit out of Ash. “I’m sorry, Mr. Hudson but we have to leave now. I have pressing matters to tend to.” He told the man beside him before meeting me. He donned a smile but I knew better that it took all he had to wear those. “We have to go,” he said and I easily agreed. Throughout our journey in his Range Rover, he didn’t say anything nor did I. I was struck in a limbo on whether to spark a conversation or just remain mute. I was
“Yes Luther,” I answered my phone call while my chauffeur drove me home. “Ash came visiting today,” he said. “He wanted the locations of your lairs.” “Did you give it to him?” “I’m sorry Leon but he threatened me with the professor’s case. I don't know how he got to know about it but I had no choice.” “It's not your fault.” I responded calmly whilst wondering how Ash had gotten to know about our little secret. “I shouldn’t be telling you this but I can’t watch something terrible happen to you. Whatever Ash is planning, he’s definitely up to no good.” I exhaled lightly. “He's probably planning to raid those places. Arrange my men, they should be on guard at all times. We can’t risk anything.” “I’ll do that tonight.” He said and I hummed before hanging up. “We‘be arrived sir.” My chauffeur chorused as he drove to a gentle halt before my mansion. “Thank you Timothy,” I replied while a guard dressed in a suit came to open my door. “Boss, Barron is here. He arrived here about th
“Where’s my brother?” I demanded as I entered the police chief’s office. He sighed as he dumped the paperworks he was busy with. “He’s a major suspect and I’m sorry we can’t let anyone see him for now.” “I’m not some bloody nobody! I want to see him now!” I kicked the chair opposite his desk and he leaned against his swivel, his stern expression didn’t waver a bit. I wasn’t ready to give up either. Ever since he was arrested yesterday, I have been restless as much as I hated to admit it. “Before you pounce on me,” he arose and took his mug of coffee too before leading the way. “You do know he is innocent.” I said as we walked to the special interrogation room.“I know but you of all people should know that I just can’t give the people a cock and bull story. The higher ups have caught a sniff of this case and you know what that means if they get involved.” He replied. “I don’t give a shit about the higher ups, we should be finding the real culprit instead.” “Oh so I’m playing huh
“Ash, I want you to look at these pictures very carefully and tell me if you recognise any of them.” Alston quoted, pointing at the large TV screen as he stood beside his colleague, Alicia, before Leon and I. We were all in the interrogation room.I nodded and Alicia started swiping the pictures appearing on the TV.“These are the pictures of the men who attacked your home. At least the ones we’ve gathered so far. Some of them are dead and the others that escaped are on our tabs. We’ve only caught about two of them.” Alicia explained but I was busy eyeing her body and she knew. Smiling back at me. “Ash, FOCUS.” Alston scorned me while I rolled my eyes. “Wait!” I frowned at the picture that showed next. “This is Dominican.”“Who’s he?” Alston queried. “He’s one of my men. He was the one I put in charge of my lair that was attacked. He was the same person that called me to give me the update that night.” I pursed my lips. “That bastard!” My palms curled into a fist. Alston double ta
Three days. It’s been three days since I’ve been kept in this small dimly lit room with my hands tied and my mouth covered with a cloth. Skye wasn’t with me but I know they took her too. For this period, I’ve been wondering why I was in captivity. I mean I was literally a nobody!I could have broken free from these ropes but my werewolf powers have been suppressed by my chain. Yet, I still struggled to break free. I wasn’t going to die like this, I was still busy with my struggle when the brown door opened. I thought they were here to feed me like some animal but I was wrong. The two men were werewolves, dressed in suits. I could tell from their scents and the aura that reeked off them. I whimpered while they forcibly carried me out of the room and then to the altar. It was only now I realized that this place was an old abandoned church in the woods. They tied me to a silver chair before they went into the other room at the other side of the altar. “Let me go! Let me go you pricks!”
“Luxton!” Melissa, the house’s doctor, called us as she threaded down the stairs. Leon, Skye and I quickly arose from the couches nervously, staring at the old woman who was probably in her mid fifties. “How is she?” The three of us asked almost at the same time. “She’s awake now. She was injected with a silver serum, a natural poison to werewolves.” She assured us with her accustomed graceful smile. We quickly dashed up the stairs to her room and once we got there, my heart could finally beat in peace. Yet I was still breathless, struck in awe of her beauty more than ever before. Something in me kept thriving, one word, mine. Ever since I saw her in the church, that weird bond has been thumping in my chest. “Autumn!” Skye blared. “Skye!” Both of them ran to hug each other while Leon and I stood side by side watching them. “I’m so sorry. For putting you through all that,” she whispered and I could tell how much guilt was haunting her. My palms curled into a fist. If Alston hadn’
