INICIAR SESIÓNMarcus Kane (POV)I left home immediately. I had my shower after the hunting thing. Different thoughts were running through my mind and I was bent on finding Clara and forcing the truth out of her. I was already parked in the small space in front of her 'company' as she normally calls it.I dialed her number just to ascertain if she was really at work today or not. I refused to believe that she set her foot here today. I went to the crochet section before I came back to my car and I was told she was at the bar section for today.I was kind of relieved. Maybe that was what I wanted to hear so bad. That she wasn't the one in the warehouse or it's just my instinct trying to justify her so badly. I leaned against the car, closing my eyes. I could still remember telling her where I was going to this morning and what I was going to do.I called her again for the third time and she answered, her voice was soothing. I could feel the stress of the day sipping out of my body but I couldn't hold
Clara Torres (POV)I was busy at the bar section being a Friday, the bar was full to the brim as always. My messy bun was no help, I picked the habit of putting the hairs behind my ear every minute so the strand of it won't fall into the wine I'm mixing. I wonder why Mr Clement would have me working in the bar section today of all days knowing how crazy it always gets on Friday. His excuse was that the customers complained about the other servers. That their eyes were too strong and it spoils their appetite. What a ludicrous reason, I had to bite down the rude comments burning on my tongue because I actually like working here. Glancing at the closed door, hoping someone else would take my place over the loud music and the never ending serving with a fake smile planted on my face except on rare occasions when the customer is polite and friendly and well maybe the flirty ones. Mr Clement waved his hand at me from across the room and I was craving to send the bottle of champagne in m
Marcus Kane.I closed my eyes briefly, just to be sure my eyes were not deceiving me. Doing that for decades won't change the person sitting on a chair a few meters away from me with tobacco in between her fingers. I've never been this surprised all my life.It looks like a script straight out of a well written movie. I mean, which other explanation could I possibly give this. I laughed so hard my stomach hurts, the men with her wore a confused look.The men attacked us with full speed but I was quick to find my bearing before he could decorate my face with his claw. The men were strong, I fought with anger, tearing them apart before they could shift into their form. I was blinded by anger, questioning my worth and the times I spent with her for the past three months. Clara had already escaped before we finished fighting the men, four of them were already dead aside from the two guys Andrew fought with. He only overpowered them, so they wouldn't be able to attack.My men came to take
Elena TorresMarcus suggested I go one lane after instructing the driver to take me to moon's know where. I plugged in my headphones and relaxed in the passenger seat. Closing my eyes as we left the house.Marcus and Andrew followed from a distance while his men would meet us at another point, since they were coming from the training ground. He chose to bring the men at the training ground because there might be a spy in the house who might disclose our plan.Everything was done discreetly, I chose to go to the beach since it is quiet and won't attract attention from others that would put the pack in a state of panic. Marcus eventually agreed after weighing the pros and cons.Our car was about to enter the beach gate when we were apprehended by a black Toyota who cornered us almost running into our car. I immediately looked back at where Andrew was, he parked by the side watching us from afar, a short man rushed out of the car towards us with a sharp knife like a screwdriver in hand.
Andrew Kane (POV)Getting to my condo, Lena was awake already standing by the window side as she occupied herself with the ongoing arrangement downstairs."What is the plan? Where are you guys going?" Lena asked the moment I entered, I knew she could perceive my scent even from afar.Her hands were folded before her chest, still wearing my yellow vest."Hmm, not yet. We are waiting for you," I answered dipping my hand in my pocket as I stood in the middle of the bedroom.She looked back immediately, searching my face for an answer. She rubbed her forehead and turned back to her view."I don't understand, what have I got to do with this? I'm not the chief guard," Lena said, trying to sound light but I could hear the fear in her voice."Yeah, we know. But we need you now, to keep everyone safe. Marcus and the Elders suggested that we use you as bait since you were the target," I explained to her and she gave me this 'have you lost it' kind of look.I walked to her side, hugging her from
Marcus Kane (POV)I've searched Andrew's condo looking for him and he wasn't there, Lena as he fondly called her was the only one sleeping in the inner bedroom. I came out of the room as quietly as I could knowing that Andrew wouldn't take it easy with me if I woke her up.Calling his phone was no help either because he wasn't picking. I knew the solution I proffer was a hard one for him but we can't just stand back and ignore the situation while waiting for the best opportunity to present itself.I went to his usual hideout when we were kids, dad's old library. He always went there to clear his head or to avoid mom's constant nagging. Finding him from where he was hiding on the surface of the earth was my joy back then, because it always provided additional meat for me.I opened the door gently, it didn't sound pleasant being in an old building. I closed the door behind me and moved further into the room, it was partly dark. Locating the switch on the wall, I turned the light on.An
Elena Torres PovThe drive home was faster than I imagined, my stomach got sicker the closer we got. I had no interest in whatever Marcus was saying. He keeps bickering all in the name of entertainment and wouldn't stop mentioning Clara's name.The mansion came to view a few blocks away, standing ta
Andrew Kane (POV)These days I have been so occupied with family matters that I'm neglecting the work on my desk. The new properties acquired needed my signature and other things. Being a real estate manager and the biggest one among the pack was more than a blessing.The trust that has been built
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
Andrew Kane (POV)It was certain that everyone has that one person that keeps them on their toes. The one that makes you feel nervous about their presence and you feel tense about their absence because you can't fathom what was happening to them in your absence.The one you want to be the best thin
