Marcel’s P.O.VThe memories of Darius attempting to touch Elodie made my skin crawl and the audacity to even ask her out despite knowing that she was married was just appalling! Anyway, what mattered was that I used the situation to my advantage by instructing his Beta, Ezra, to take videos of the whole scenario and send them to the reporters who took advantage of it. But with the way, the articles seemed to be disappearing with every passing second, it seemed more like he had paid to take down those articles. However, the important thing was that people were now being skeptical about him and Liam took the scandalous news about Darius in the wrong way since he had requested my help in launching a war against Darius. Liam thought that Darius kept Amelia in his custody and due to his misunderstanding, things were going just as I had planned. Thanks to Elodie. I closed the jar, wrapped the red ribbon around it and I couldn't believe that I spent all the night making small notes about
Elodie’s P.O.VHeaving an exasperated sigh, I struggled to catch up with Silas who seemed excited by the fact that he would be going to his regular comic clubhouse that was just for a few children within the same age range as him.“Silas, stop running or you will fall and…..” Before I could complete my words, he tripled over a small rock and tumbled to the ground. My eyes widened at that moment as I hurried to him, my heart racing, and worry was etched on my features. “Are you okay, darling?” I asked, helping him on his feet and at the same time, checking for any scrapes or bruises. Silas took me aback, beaming with a smile while showing me his hands. “I am okay, mum”I heaved a sigh of relief, helping him with his glasses. “I told you to be careful and for you to stop running. What if you got wounded badly?”“I will be more careful now”“Promise?”“Yes, I promise mum, thank you for coming with me. I wanted everyone to meet with you and that was why I bugged you so much about coming
Marcel’s P.O.VA bitter scoff left my lips, staring at the packaged boxes that had Darius's face plastered on them and photoshopped pictures of him with the children. It was weird that barely a few minutes after Elodie told me about the stunt that he had pulled at Silas’s comic clubhouse, this was happening. Elodie’s eyes widened in disbelief as she placed her hands on her chest while exchanging fleeting glances with me. “This man has no fear for anything! After everything that I have done……”Anger coursed through me as my fingers curled into fists, staring at what was boldly written on the package box. ‘THIS IS FROM YOUR REAL DAD, ALPHA DARIUS’At that moment, the triplets came in from the main door as Silver held a basketball and soon, they spotted the packaged box and rushed towards Elodie and I. Elodie tried to hide it but I stopped her instantly, grabbing her by the wrist swiftly. I forced out a smile that didn't reach my eyes. “It is fine”Elodie’s lips slowly parted and I dar
Elodie’s P.O.VI stirred awake, strong arms wrapping around me and when his scent wafted through my nostrils, I knew that he was here. Half awake, a faint smile appeared on my face, mumbling. “You are here…….” I squinted my eyes, trying to check the time and it was just 2 am. “What!” I exclaimed, rubbing my hands on my eyes while he stood from the bed. “Did you wait for me all night?” A lopsided grin curled around the corner of his mouth. “I did but you came home pretty late…..” My words trailed, a faint groan leaving my lips as I palmed my forehead. “I had no plan of staying that long outside and I apologize. Do you still want the ice cream?” He asked while I still rubbed my hands on my eyes, trying to have a proper view since I still felt sleepy. I muttered, yawning. “No! Tomorrow…….”He flashed me a smile as I curled in a fetal position while he began drying his hair. Staring intently at him, something seemed weird about him that I couldn’t place. I watched as he dried his hai
Marcel’s P.O.VMy fingers clenched as soon as I caught sight of Darius who stared daggers at me before a forced smile crossed his face. I strode towards him, sitting on the chair across from him while a chuckle laced with bitterness left his lips. “We were supposed to meet an hour ago but you came late….”He gritted his teeth before ducking his head while I darted my eyes to the crutches that were held by the bodyguard behind him. I leaned in the chair, crossing my legs as a smile crept through the corner of my mouth. “I am disappointed. I was thinking that you were going to die and had plans of finishing you off myself but I had a second thought and since I am pure, I couldn't stand the thoughts of your filthy blood staining my hands”“If it did, I might have to amputate my hands” I smiled at him. At that moment, his face darkened and his jaw clenched. His head shook slowly like he was about to make his primal instincts take control of the situation. At that fleeting moment, Darius
Elodie’s P.O.VMy mind was in a haze, running my hands through my hair as we kept calling out for the triplets. I just couldn't wrap my head around how they disappeared! The fact that they could have gotten lost in the woods and were trying so hard to find their way back caused dread to settle in the pit of my stomach. As anxiety crept at the back of my neck, my mind drifted to Axel, Marcel, and some of Marcel’s men who promised to howl as soon as they found any traces of them.It had been hours of them scouring the woods in search of the triplets and every second of anticipating their return with no sight of them was suffocating and it seemed more like I was about to pass out. Helicopters flew over the woods, and drones were set around, yet, there wasn't any news about my babies being found.Wrapping my arms around myself, I couldn't take it anymore and despite Marcel’s reassurance for me to stay calm that they would be found, I just couldn't. I needed to find my pups!If somethin
Marcel’s P.O.VAfter hours of scouring the entire forest as my fear kept heightening with every passing second, I couldn't help the thoughts that coursed through my mind. Thoughts that something horrible had happened to them and to worsen it, there had been recent cases of trafficking. After contorting back to human form, wearing my clothes, I stared daggers at Axel who stretched my phone to me. He lowered his head, biting his lower lips in regret. “Brother……”“Don't mention my name!” I snarled him and at that moment, his shoulders sagged and tears welled up in his eyes and before I knew what was happening, tears cascaded down his cheeks, and slowly, all the annoyance and rage that I held towards him dissipated. Axel choked a sob. “I am sorry. I should have listened to you when you told me to not take them hiking. I had no idea that it was going to end like this”I was at a loss for words to say and was conflicted about the response to give to him. “We are going to find them. Don't
Darius’s P.O.VI fixed Liam a stern gaze as he strode over to me with a smile creeping through the corner of his lips. “How can I help you, Liam? I am sure that I never invited you to any party so what are you doing here?”“Where is Amelia?” He said, folding his hands behind him.Leaning forward as a frustrated groan left my lips, I responded. “I don't know where she is and the last time that I checked, you have no rights over her”He bursted into a peal of hysterical laughter as he slipped the hair that fell on his face to the back. “I came here to do two things today, to get Amelia and most importantly, to teach you a lesson”I clicked my tongue in my mouth, my fingers squeezing into fists while glowering at him. “First of all, you had an affair with my wife and you turned out to be Amelia's biological father. You are the reason why my life is upside down, yet, I never came for you but since you are bent on seeing the worst part of me, let’s get the party started like you said!”At
