MasukMarcus Kane (POV)I went back to the main house, fatigue hanging on my shoulder like I owned it. I drag my feet lazily back to my quarters ready to shower and head to bed. I won't be surprised if Andrew is snoring off by now. I walked into the room, the light was still on and everything was as I left it.Clara was standing by the window, I froze when my eyes landed on her small back. Why is she not sleeping yet? Oh deep shit we still have some scores to settle. I groaned sadly like a sleep deprived child. I turned on the shower for a quick bath, washing my eyes to keep me awake.I walked back slowly into the room after putting on my black pajamas. I stood behind her, encircling my hands around her waist as I pulled her against my solid chest. She didn't resist my touch nor turn away. I heaved in relief resting my head on her shoulder."Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I should be the first to know about my brother and not the entire pack. What if he meant harm, I mean we don't even
Marcus Kane (POV)The journey to the basement was the quickest walk I have ever made even though it was a mile away from the main building. Andrew was on his ten toes, his broad shoulders were tense despite moving with such grace and ease.Soon we were standing before the basement's iron door which was the only thing hiding Selene's face from us. The guard opened the door and we quickly strolled in.The next minute we were standing in front of Selene, tied up with a chain both on her hands and legs seated on an iron chair. My chest rose and fell in ease seeing that she's safe even though her appearance was not.Selene's face had turned to a shade of brownish black, and there was a pink line around her neck. A few meters away from where we were standing was the rubber rope she had used to end her pitiful life unsuccessfully.Her hair looked shabby. Worn out jumpsuit, messy hair, unkempt. Which is unlikely,if the situation wasn't a dire one. Selene was the type of person that her appear
Andrew Kane (POV)Lena ignored my taunt but I could feel the anger radiating from her body, she was visibly fuming. The reason for her anger is one thing I don't understand. She's so easy to rage bait, but then I should be the one vibrating not her.Marcus looked in my direction, his eyes warning me not to push her. I glared at him and looked away. Why should I be the one to suck up what I felt?I dragged her into my arm, drag because she was fighting off my hand. I successfully had her locked in my embrace. She smells like mint, damn! I didn't realize how much I've missed her touch until now."I'm sorry, I was just angry because you let another man touch you," I apologized, whispering into her ears. She was on top of me and I really don't mind the spectators in the room. All that matters is this moment."He's my cousin Andy, you are unbelievable. He only offered to help," Lena chuckled, hitting my chest playfully. I know she wasn't the type to hold grudges for long and sometimes I'm
Andrew Kane (POV)We went back into the meeting with some of my trusted men. Marcus' head was in his hand as he types away on the laptop before him.Elder Rowan was resting on his cane, lost in thought as the lines on his forehead grew deeper. The eerie silence was loud enough to break through each person's thoughts.Marcus set his laptop aside and everyone started talking at once. Starting a new plan from scratch because what we planned earlier has already been known by those idiots.My beta strength was on full display as he navigated through the maps and defense mechanism of the battle ground we created years ago. I watched silently because I will be the one to review the outcome of what they concluded on.The only issue on my mind was that, rogues don't have any scent attached to them. That is one step to make them be ahead of us, Marcus thought it would be wise to stumble on them unaware at their hideout.Waiting for them to come attack us in the city would only leave the pack in
Clara Torres (POV)Briel entered after Elena finished talking without the cuff on his wrist, he wore a dark smirk on his face and sauntered into the room like he was a member of the family."Are you guys done with the meeting?" Elena asked with an air of familiarity between them.I scrunched my face in disgust at the sound of her tone, feeling left out."Yeah, I already told the alpha what I know supposing it will be helpful to the team," Briel answered, staring at me like I was the one interrogating him."Oh that's a relief, shouldn't you be there helping out?" I asked, my voice soiled with irritation."Well, our man said I shouldn't be involved since I can't be trusted," Briel responded, crossing his leg over the other."Our man?" Elena and I chorused at once.Briel nodded, "yeah, our man thought it was the perfect time to catch up with whatever we've missed out over the years," he answered rolling his eyes."That's true though, you guys have some catching up to do. If you will excu
Clara Torres (POV)"I'm so sorry you had to find out this way, I also didn't know about him until a few hours ago before Marcus called you. Seeing how sensitive and demanding the situation was, he had no choice," Elena cooed at me, hugging me tightly."It's okay sis, I'm just surprised that a rogue can be out and about. That fool is just so annoying, anything could have happened to him if caught by the wrong person. I can't believe he deliberately attacked Marcus. Briel is nothing but trouble," I responded, although I was still upset with Marcus for not telling me earlier."Briel must have attacked him because he saw him with you. Trying to protect his sister," Elena said, relaxing on the couch."Seriously, he has to learn how to take care of himself first before indulging in other people's business," I rolled my eyes and hissed, the look on his face while talking earlier annoyed the shit out of me."How I wish I had a brother who could lay down his life for me without counting the co
Marcus Kane (POV)"if you don't bring her with you, don't bother coming back here, you can as well sleep in the woods." Andrew's words kept ringing in my ears as I matched towards Elena's old house. The fact that I'm the only one at risk of his actions irks me more than anything. He would threaten
Elena TorresI sat down quietly in the living room with my two hands clamped together tightly, trying to hold myself together. The three of us were seated on different couches, I ignored Andrew's eyes begging to hold mine.The silence in the room was as loud as the noise in the market. I wondered w
Elena Torres"Lena what are you doing, what the hell is going on with you," Andrew half-yelled startled, as his oceanic eyes glared at me in confusion."I don't know, I'm not the one I swear," I curse, trying to catch my breath as we stood amidst the air. Our feet were not touching the ground, this
Elena Torres PovThe board before me kept my eyes locked in it, it captivated my attention more than anything has ever done. I didn't know my room had an inner room where paintings of different colors were displayed.No smell has ever invaded my nostril since I started sleeping in the room. I though
