LOGINChapter 164Amber Whyte. Three hours had crawled painfully since Elizabeth and Maurice left the cottage to get some wild fruits on the other island adjacent to the one we stayed on. Three hours of silence and boredom. For the first time since I came here, I felt lonely. Both of them leaving me behind felt weird. The house felt unusually empty, as if something was missing. The atmosphere was dull. God, I missed their presence. It felt like home whenever they were around. I couldn't wait for them to return. I was starting to feel a shift in my mood and it worsened whenever I peeped outside the window, but I didn't see them.I was restless. My mind wasn't settled. Several scenarios kept running in my head. I hope they get back in one piece. I hope they don't encounter any challenges on their way back. I wish I had a magic mirror or a phone so I would be aware of what was happening around me. Although they were armed with weapons, it wasn't enough to convince my troubled min
Chapter 163Amber Whyte.“I do,” I answered. “You can stay here. I can help you take care of your children. I have time on my hands. I do almost nothing all day.” She tried to convince me. But her words were unsettling. My brows cocked in confusion as I glared at her wondering why she suddenly felt restless. Maurice noticed and stepped in defense. “Forgive Liz,” He cleared his throat and held her in his arms. “What happened is that Liz is feeling lonely. For about twenty-five or twenty-nine years, we've been here alone. We only have each other. Although we love it, since she saw you, especially in your condition, she wants you to be here. She is trying to do everything to make you trust us and feel comfortable.” “Liz keeps worrying that if something happens to me, she might not survive it because she might die of loneliness. So when she saw you she felt she had someone to be by her side for a long time. She really likes you, Amber.” My heart clenched in pain. I felt sorry for
Chapter 162 Amber Whyte. “Hello, dear.” He spoke first, breaking the awkward silence. My heart skipped a beat. Although his tone was soft and friendly, I couldn't quite put my finger on why I felt a bit scared. It was probably because I was meeting him for the first time. “Relax, don't be a stranger.” She gave me a friendly smile. She suddenly got up from where she sat beside her husband, disappeared from the sitting room, and reappeared seconds later with a jacket. She walked towards me, placed the jacket around my shoulder, and gave me a gentle squeeze. “Thank you.” I mouthed. I didn't realize that I was shivering. “How are you doing?” His voice struck the air, sending jolts to my spine. “I'm fine…” My voice trailed quietly as I was wondering what to call him. “You can call me Maurice. No need to be nervous around me. And don't give me that look as if I'm old. I'm just fifty-five.” I gasped, I couldn't help it. Fifty-five? The fuck, he looked thirty.. He and
Chapter 161Elion Moore.Hael's tears dropped. For the first time, I saw him cry. I saw him weep like a baby. Glad he finally understood my point.“We killed her. Jax was right. We attract darkness and curses and enemies and danger.” My voice dropped as if I wanted all my words to sink into Hael's thick skull. “And now, we did what we know how to do best. We proved Jax right and put her in danger.”I sniffed. “She is all alone and someone has to be with her. With the kids. She can't do that alone. I volunteer to be that person.” I nodded, blinking as tears fell from my eyes. “I swear I understand you, but please don't do this,” Hael begged, clasping his shaky hands together. “Don't leave us. We need each other more than ever, please, Elly. It's worse that she's gone, but if you leave…” He paused and clenched his teeth as he fought back his tears.“Don't fucking do this to me, Elion.” His hands seized me, pressing me against his body as he wept on my shoulder. Fuck! He rarely cal
Chapter 160Elion Moore.My head dropped. Tears rolled from my lips as I spat out blood. I didn't cry before his blows felt like my jaw was about to get dislocated. I cried because I wasn't fast enough to kill myself. Just like I wasn't fast enough to get home before Amber got kidnapped. Fuck. Now, Hael knows what I've been up to. He won't take it easy with me.“So that's it?” He scoffed. “That's why you've been acting suspicious all evening. The speeches, the hugs, the love talk. So you wanted to kill yourself?” His voice thundered as he pressed me against the wall, strangling me. I didn't stop him. I was too weak to do anything. In fact, I wanted him to take my life since I was unable to do so myself.After some seconds, he freed me from his grip and threw me into a nearby chair out of annoyance. “Have a little faith, brother.” He groaned in frustration, banging his fist on the table. That was when my vocal cords opened. Instead of words, I burst into tears. This was t
Chapter 159Elion Moore.I can't do this anymore. I can't live like this anymore. Without Amber, I felt like a lost cause. Like a lost ship drifting at sea– empty. Lonely. Scared. Confused. Yes, I had the company of my brothers, but it couldn't replace the vacuum Amber left in my heart. She was everything to me. She was irreplaceable. And every second without her was making me lose it.That's if I haven't even lost it. Days went by in a blur, but Hael's words still lingered in my mind. “She will be found today, brother.” He assured me every day. But the third day was almost over. Amber was still nowhere to be found. There was nowhere we didn't search. No Pack was left uninvestigated. The rescue mission even went as far as crossing into the human world. It was something we never did. But for Amber, we would comb the earth…leave no stones unturned, search even the deserts and the dense forests.And we did. We scoured the earth, there was no place we didn't go—nothing we didn
Chapter 93Amber Whyte. I jumped down from Elion's body at once and grabbed a nearby sheet to wrap around myself.My heartbeat went through the roof with every thud at the door.The fear that sprouted up in the pit of my stomach was raw– it had me on choke-hold.My body quivered under the sheet as
Chapter 96Amber Whyte. Hael let out a frustrated breath. He slowly dragged his palm down his face as though he was trying to hold his patience together. “Calm the fuck down, Jesus!” His jaw tightened as he pinched the bridge of his nose. “Think this through. What is it with you and murder? Fuc
Chapter 89Elion Moore. Like a heavy blow to my chest, those words slammed into me with full force, knocking me off-balance at once. I stumbled back a step. My chest rose and fell heavily. The air around me thinned. I couldn't breathe.The weight of her words sank so deeply that it fractured som
Chapter 90Elion Moore.Reconciliation sex was not on my to-do list. It wasn't. Until the tiny straps of her mini lace gown accidentally fell off her shoulders…slid down her arms in slow-mo like a temptation, only stopping below…Her boobs.‘Oh, fuck.’Those were the first words I whispered after a
