MasukMarcus Kane (POV)"Bring the bald man to the meeting room immediately," Andrew put a call through before he went to sit at the chief seat designated for him.Briel eyes twitched and a dark scowl appeared on his face as he stared at Andrew from a distance."You think the bald man is going to give you what you want huh? That asshole will do everything to protect his family back home and that involves dying here if he has to," Briel said, glaring at Uncle Drake who has pushed the pen cup down the desk out of his reach."Why don't you bother about yourself and let him make his choice because either way he still has something to lose," Elder Rowan sneered at him."If you think that's the game, then who am I to argue? Supposing things might go your way, kindly remember me in your kingdom. Ah, the bald man might know who the veiled woman is anyway, I guess he was caught carrying out one of her ordeal," Briel continued, it seems like he has a problem of keeping his mouth shut when not spoken
Marcus Kane (POV)We waited for Andrew to finish his bath so we could proceed to the meeting room, where the remaining elders were already waiting. My eyes were fixated on Clara the entire time but she wouldn't spare me a glance.She was sitting on the couch with me but I couldn't muster enough gut to touch her or call her name, knowing how mad she was with me. I couldn't blame her for reacting this way nor did I blame myself for hiding the whole thing from her.Now that Briel has met with his sister, the next thing was to get information about what the rogues were planning alongside Southwest.I never trusted Blackthorn and Martha to begin with, my hairs always stand still whenever they visit when we were still in college.Martha's eyes have this insatiable glint in it anytime she watches far away into our pack, with a deep smirk I couldn't understand. For someone that talks a lot, mother would always disregard my concern about her friend.Of course, you wouldn't have a reason to sec
Andrew Kane (POV)The driveway was filled with smoke, the cars that were able to dodge the truck did but not without a scrape either to the car or their bodies.I called the hospital for an emergency so casualties will be attended to. The truck was empty, nobody was inside, my men nodded at me from their car and drove off.I obtained the dashcam from the truck and left as people started gathering around the scene. Lol. Well, I will see how this ends.Ben pulled the car back to the road, its steering wheel was shaking as he drove but he handled it well. It would take more than an hour to either book a ride or bring another car from the mansion.After spending eternity on the road, the high gate finally came into view. I watched how Ben's body heaved in relief. It was as if he was sitting on pins all this while. A dark chuckle escaped my throat, it made the hairs on my body stand still as we drove into the garage. I motioned for Ben to let me down at the front of the tower.I came down
Andrew Kane (POV)"if she escapes, you all won't leave to see tomorrow," I threatened the men that ran after Selene.They swiftly shifted into their wolves and raced after Selene whose legs were already giving way before she shifted too. I entered my car and followed them from behind. The loud sound of an engine at the rooftop caught my attention and I saw the blue helicopter already taking off.So she was waiting for the perfect time to escape while the helicopter waited at the rooftop. Which means Blackthorn is aware that his daughter is awake! Well let him come and get her here. Bastard!At the end of the road my men were already waiting for me, they held Selene down despite her fighting them off. Her left leg was dripping with blood, one of the men must have sunk his teeth into her leg."Let go of me, you monsters," Selene yelled, struggling to free herself. I brought out my phone and took a picture of her, planning on sending it to her father later."Why do you want to escape so
Clara Torres (POV)"Clara? What are you doing here by this time," Elder Rowan asked the moment he sighted me, he was standing in front of the tower with some men.Their expression was rigid with a frown etched on their faces which projected their troubled soul. The frown was transferred to my face unconsciously as he stepped aside to talk to me.I bowed to the Elders before returning my gaze to Elder Rowan. I didn't miss the uneasy look they gave me which was unusual. Was this some kind of set up or what?"Dad, what are you doing here? I guess you just finished your meeting. It is Wednesday though, I thought you didn't attend meetings that day," I noted, holding his hand."Don't bother yourself about why I'm here princess. I'm concerned about you, why are you here?" Elder Rowan asked instead of confirming my thoughts. He has a forte in evading questions."Yeah, Marcus said he wanted me to meet someone urgently, that's why I'm here," I responded, glancing over my shoulder at how hastil
Clara Torres (POV)I dashed into Clement's office after I spoke with Marcus. Whatever it is that he has to show me appears to be urgent, I wished it could wait till the end of the day so I could finish the project I'm doing.It's a purple and white ball gown for my forthcoming birthday and the adrenaline coursing through my veins made me take a few breaks to cool myself off. I couldn't imagine the dress having a little defect because it would ruin the whole process and that might take me forever to recover from.Birthdays are a big part of life even though most people don't see the need to celebrate it. It is super worst when you have to celebrate your birthdays without your family round the table. Well, Elena and Elder Rowan have been a big support over the years and I don't take their presence for granted.They made life meaningful and colorful. I sigh as I pondered on whether to knock on the wooden door or to just push it open, since it was an office anyway.With all the money Clem
Elena Torres (POV)This time around I knew I was in trouble and had no escape from him. I turned around with a sheepish smile on my face, fidgeting with my fingers and toes."Follow me," Andrew said and rose up from his seat. I smirked, if he had gone hard on Blackthorn when he almost attacked Elde
Andrew Kane (POV)Selene was obviously enjoying the moment of banter between his father and my men. She sat down with her legs crossed over each other and her head raised in pride."I have had enough of the Northwest excuses for not coming to ask for my daughter's hand in marriage for alliances as p
Selene's PovI woke up this morning feeling dizzy and light-headed. I vomited a few times each time I smelled anything that worked against my stomach. Sitting down on the bed for several hours before gathering the energy to stand up.This wasn't a good feeling, not for me or the Southwest knowing f
Elena Torres (POV)I don't know what time it was when my eyes' lid flustered open or maybe I was the one imagining things because I couldn't see anything. Everywhere was pitch black and cold. Too cold for comfort.Stepping out of the bed to quench my dry throat, each step comes with effort and pain.
