~Allister~

Grandma Regi decides to join us for breakfast at the dining hall. With her presence, my mother, the current Luna of the Pack, becomes less chatty.

Steam curls from the tea she pours with unhurried grace as silverware clanks in the large hall.

Grandma Regi is seated to my right, while my mother sits to my left, and Rhea sits beside Grandma Regi, while I occupy my position at the head of the table.

“Allister,” Grandma Regi calls, breaking the silence in the room. I lift my head to me

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   310. Alpha's command

    "But there is-” before he can finish speaking, Leo storms inside.His usually calm appearance is gone. His face is pale, and he looks terrified and very worried.Immediately, my instincts go on alert. "What happened?" I ask him.He looks from me to Angel. "It's Jess, Alpha," he replies."What about Miss Jess?" worry clouds me so much that I’m even surprised my voice came out steady.Leo swallows. "I just received information regarding Sarah White. She was out on a vacation with Miss Jess. She was found on the floor, shot and bleeding out."My wolf immediately stirs, almost to the surface, his protective instincts surging forward at the mention of Jess, probably in real danger."She's currently being treated at Greymark Medical Center." Leo continues. “But the big issue is that Miss Jess is nowhere to be found. We believe she has either been abducted..." he lowers his voice, "Or killed."Everything inside me stops. For one horrifying second, nothing exists.There is just rage, fear, an

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   309. Authorized equipment

    Angel’s voice is calm when he says, "All of this means that Miss White just needed the surrogate lawyer released because the lawyer is a priority for whoever she's working with. And I believe she’s working with the Varkai princes."My gaze drops to the photographs with one of the princes again. I need to have that meeting as soon as possible.Though there is a high chance that the meeting with the prince would be a sort of setup to harm me, I need to be present.If they took Jess again, then I need to find a way to reach out to her and have her speak to me…explain to me what exactly is going on because I don’t believe anything Angel is saying, yet."Think about it, Alpha.” Angel continues speaking. “She refused to tell you who kidnapped her," he says. "Doesn't that make sense now?"I frown as I slowly begin to recall something Beshar Gabret told me during my last visit to his Park. He said one of the Varkai princes is a highly skilled doctor.Jess is a doctor as well. Is any of that a

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   308. Jess is fake

    ~Allister~Ending the call with Beshar Gabret, I lean back in my chair, my mind occupied with the fact that he’s managed to secure a meeting with one of the princes and me.I rub a hand across my face and sigh.The past few weeks have been nothing but chaos. Having my men search and comb almost the ends of the earth for Jefferson hasn’t been easy, and being on Beshar’s neck for a meeting with at least one of the princes as well has been crazy.A knock sounds on my office door, and Angel pushes it open.Seeing him still limping, I immediately frown."What are you doing out here, again?" I ask him.He limps closer and drops a thick brown envelope onto my desk. “You need to see this, Alpha,” he tells me.I look at the envelope, then at him, "What’s in it?"Angel pushes his frame into one of the empty seats.“Alpha,” he calls. “It seems Jessica White has been playing all of us. And, I have proof."I eye him cautiously and slowly drag the brown envelope closer. "What?"I open the envelope

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   307. We'll find her

    ~Callahan~The steady beeping of machines fills the hospital room as I sit beside Sarah’s bed, my hand wrapped around hers.She looks so pale.For the hundredth time since arriving at the hospital in Greymark, I stare at the bandages wrapped around her shoulder and upper chest, silently thanking every god and goddess willing to listen that she is still alive.A doctor stands at the foot of the bed, flipping through a digital chart while two nurses monitor Sarah's vitals."Doctor?" I call, rising from my chair.The younger man looks up and offers me a reassuring smile. "Beta Callahan, she is stable."The reply makes me heave a sigh of relief."The silver bullet entered through the upper left side of her torso and exited almost cleanly. It left just tiny fragments of silver in there, which we’ve now removed," the doctor explains. "Fortunately, the trajectory missed all major organs. Her lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys were untouched."Thank the Moon goddess. I sigh. If anything had hap

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   306. Jess is awake

    ~Jess~A dull, relentless ache pounds behind my eyes as my consciousness slowly returns.I groan softly and try to move my body. Pain immediately shoots through my wrists.My eyes snap open, greeted by stark darkness at first, which my eyes eventually adjust to.For the first moment, I can't seem to understand what I'm looking at.The air around me is damp, and the smell of rust, mold, and stagnant water hangs heavily.I try to sit up. That's when I realize my hands are bound behind my back.A sharp wave of panic crashes into me.What-Where am I?My breathing quickens as I force myself upright, my vision slowly adjusting to the dull-lit room.The walls surrounding me are made of rough stone, darkened by maybe moisture. The continuous, rhythmic sound of dripping water is heard somewhere in the room.At the far end of the room, I make out a heavy metal barrier made of thick iron bars. Beyond it stands a masked, armed guard.My stomach drops as I begin to struggle against my restraints.

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   305. The difference between you and me

    ~Tania~"Do you mind putting me up to speed? I'd love to know what I'm missing out on." Thomas Maclewin says to my surprise."You knew Agnes Shema was seeing someone else, didn’t you?”He shrugs, “Not exactly. Why?”“Our deal is off,” I tell him. “I’m not doing it anymore.”Thomas sits up, looking unbothered. “We had an agreement, Miss Beecroft.”“That I should get Julian to settle down with me as fast as possible, yes. But I’m telling you now that I can’t do it anymore." I speak clearly.Thomas clears his throat and gives me a cold stare that has me regretting ever accepting his absurd deal in the first place.When I had that private meeting with him, I was so excited to go ahead with his proposal because he promised that the tower contract would go to Smith and Agary, and he did make me a personal offer, too. One that I was very pumped to get.However, he gave me his reason for wanting this as “Caesar Constructions” being a family-oriented firm, and since Julian would be at the fore

    I turn back to Nox, who is eyeing me like he’s struggling to understand my dilemma, and he shrugs.A suffocating feeling starts to crowd me.I have been thinking of calling Jess and convincing her to see me so that we can discuss the issue of my health and that of my mother.But getting blocked ever

    My eyelids feel like they’re stitched shut, and my body feels so heavy that I’m unable to move it when I try to. The scent of an unfamiliar cologne wafts through my nose. A stranger’s oozing breath ghosts over my cheek, and panic instantly sets in as I immediately force my eyes open. A man I’ve n
