Kael’s POVThe afternoon sun washed into the cafe, bathing the table with its golden light. It was warm, creating an ethereal atmosphere around me and Asher. My question still hung in the air as I stared at him anxiously. I’d taken the step by asking the question. It was now or never. If I wanted Asher to be mine, I had to take the risk. And this one was the biggest of them all. All I had to do was convince him to come with me. He was mine. E was my future. Not just mine, but the Silver Fang as a whole. There was a whole world out there waiting for him to take charge of it with an iron fist. I knew he could do it. Why? Because he was my son. Asher didn’t seem fazed by the question. He was still eating his ice cream, his lips marred with the remnants he couldn’t gulp down. I watched him silently, waiting for him to answer, but it didn’t look like he was going to give me one soon. He took one more scoop of ice cream and as he swallowed it, he dropped the spoon on the table and clutch
Aurelia’s POVI placed my phone on the table as I stared at the envelope before me. I’d just gotten off the phone with Rune and he sounded so busy. The sound of his Porsche at full speed made me realize he was chasing after something. But I didn’t want to bother myself asking what it was. The real reason I called him was to tell him about the envelope that was before. It spelled trouble, and I never thought I would see it. Since he sounded busy, I didn’t want to bother him. And now, I had to deal with it myself. “Are you okay, my lady?” Anthonia asked after knocking softly on the door. I was in my study which was a bit larger than Rune’s. The door was slightly ajar because I’d forgotten to close it. Mostly due to the fear of the envelope I just received. One of the guards had brought it to me, and as soon as I saw the seal, I knew that I was in big trouble. One I couldn’t escape easily. “Yes,” I said without looking up at her. But when I heard her shoes echo into the room, I lift
Rune’s POVMy ‘76 Porsche’s engine roared smoothly to life as I ignited it. My mind was filled with so many thoughts. Where could Kael have taken Asher? Did he kidnap him? What was his goal with Asher? There was no way that he could forcefully take Asher away. He knew how powerful Asher was and making someone like him scared was a terrible idea. The only way to get Asher to go with him was to take him somewhere Asher would want to be too. And only the heavens knew where that was. I pulled away from the driveway in a hurry eager to look for them. It would soon be time to pick Asher up from school. If Aurelia was going there, she was going to lose her mind when she found out that Kael had taken him. I didn’t want to see what she was going to do to him. But whatever it was, it was going to be ugly. I dialed Jerome’s number as I stepped on the gas speeding away from Raheem’s address. The search hadn’t been in total vain like I’d expected. There was a safe in his large study room. And I
Kael’s POVI glanced behind the window to see if we had really lost him. A smile appeared on my face as I saw that the coast was clear. That was a relief. I didn’t know who it was. Maybe it was Aurelia’s men or someone else who was after us. It didn’t matter anymore. Asher and I were safe. Speaking of Asher, he was seated beside me without moving a each. He looked totally unfazed as he gazed outside the window with his hand on the windowpane. He was awfully quiet today. Maybe it was something that happened between him and his mother yesterday. “Are you okay?” I asked. He nodded without even facing me. I clenched my jaw and relaxed, not wanting to be bugged by that. “Stop us by that cafe,” I told the driver as I leaned forward. He nodded and swerved into the next street. I sighed and leaned back on the backseat. I wondered what Aurelia was going to say when she found out I was with her son. She was probably going to lose it again. Maybe this time she was going to come at me with h
Rune’s POVI tapped the steering wheel impatiently as I waited. I was staring at the morning sun which pierced through the windshield. My mind was still on last night. There was nothing useful, but the name Raheem rang in my head. There was something about him I couldn’t understand yet. But I knew that he and Kael were a part of something big. And I was going to find out what it was.The shrill ring on the no phone snapped me back to my thoughts and I reached for the dashboard, picking it up. I answered the phone, placing it to my ear. “Did you find it?” I asked impatiently. “Yes, Rune. The address of one Raheem Straumann?” The masculine voice replied from the other end of the line. “Yes,” I said opening up my drawer and picking out a pen. “Call it out for me.”The man spoke the address and I wrote it down on my palm. I squinted at the words on them. I knew the place. “Are you sure Alpha Aurelia shouldn’t know about this?” He asked, his voice worrisome. “No!” I barked immediately
Kael’s POVI inhaled the air deeply as I stepped out of the Cadillac. It was warm with the morning sun bathing my skin as I basked in it. Today was going to be a good day. All I had to do was take it as it was mine. Today, I was going to see Asher once again. And this time, we weren’t going to go to the amusement park. It was time we had a talk. A talk that was going to make him mine. It was time he moved in with me. That was what I hoped for. I walked into the school with my hands shoved in the pockets of my suit’s pants. The hallway was empty, and my steps echoed as I walked through, heading towards Raheem’s office. As I sauntered through, I wondered if Asher could sense that I was here. He was a werewolf amongst humans, but most importantly, he was a primordial. His senses would be heightened than a normal wolf even at his age. Maybe even more than mine. I was surprised to find Raheem’s door wide open as I approached his office. I could hear voices in there. He was talking to s
