Everything in the villa remained calm, but nothing felt peaceful. Gabriel had been standing in the same spot for what looked like hours in his thoughts, and yet, he did not recognize the passing of time until he got a phone call from Guss.
"What is it?" Gabriel asked.
"Sir, why aren't you at the office yet?" Guss's concerned voice came through the phone speaker.
Gabriel walked toward the couch and took a seat, then stared at the wound on his knuckle with emptiness in his eyes. The cut was not deep, and he knew it would heal soon, yet the real wound with the one in his heart.
"What is it, Guss?" He asked.
"It's madam's father. Apparently, he had filed a complaint to the elders, and they are requesting your presence in their chamber." Guss's voice flowed into Gabriel's ears, and he frowned.
"What is his complaint about?"
"I don't know, boss. They sent a re
Gabriel arrived at his company and met with Guss in his office. He sat behind his desk, gazing at Guss's face, yet the only thing on his mind was Selena."Sir!" Guss yelled.He has been talking, but then he noticed that his boss was not listening to a word that he was saying."My ears are just fine, so you don't need to scream." Gabriel said."I am sorry, boss. I thought you had not heard what I was explaining." Guss stated."That's a stupid assertion. I am an alpha! My hearing is exquisite. Now, what were you saying?""But... You just said...""I know what I said. My ears are fine, but my mind appeared occupied with stuff, so I missed a thing or two from your explanation."Guss knew that the only one that could make Gabriel unfocused was Selena, yet he also understood that the mood his young m
The room door opened, and Bob walked inside. He stared at Selena with her head bent and thought that something wasn't right since he found it odd that Selena did not appear to be in any distress like her voice had made it seem.“Madam, are you okay?” Bob asked as he shut the door behind him.Selena lifted her head, and there it was, the piece of detail that made Bob believe something was not right. He took a step back as he stared at Selena's red eyes.“What the hell! I am sorry to ask, madam. But what happened to your eyes color?” Bob inquired.Selena did not respond as she gazed at Bob, and at that moment, he sensed a strong fear like no other.“You screamed for my help. Did something happen?” Bob asked as he tried to understand the situation.“Not really. But I needed to get you in here, so I can get out of this vi
The moment Guss drove the car into the villa, Gabriel rushed out of the vehicle. He took a few steps before stopping when he saw the scene before him."I can't believe I was this stupid to leave her alone, knowing the power that she possesses." Gabriel mumbled.Guss stepped out of the driver's seat, and his eyes widened in shock as he gazed at the bloody bodies on the ground. He held his breath as he tried to imagine what had happened, yet there mere thought of it scared him. Guss wanted to look elsewhere and tear his eyes away from the bloody scene, but the sight of it all made him drawn to look more."Are they dead?" Guss asked as his eyes watched Gabriel's bodyguard lying in their own pool of blood.Guss's question troubled Gabriel since he had seen what happened to those who Selena had used her power on when she's in rage. He headed over to one of his bodyguards, then placed the tip o
Selena had been switching taxis every ten minutes, so s
Gabriel rested back in his chair as he stared at the ceiling with a blank mind, and Guss stood in silence as he waited for Gabriel to say something."Guss, what is your search status?" Gabriel asked."Sir, we have been looking for madam for exactly one week, and so far, we have not found out her location." Guss replied.Gabriel stood up from his seat and walked to the front of his desk, then sat down at the edge. As Guss stared at his young master's face, he could tell that Gabriel seemed exhausted, and it was no secret to him that his young master had not been sleeping properly for the past week."Eyebrows are rising. Although I was able to buy time by telling everyone that my wife had traveled out of the country for private matters, that lie can not hold forever. So far, words are not out about her being kidnapped or missing. So that's good. But do you know what's not good, Guss?" Gabriel calmly sa
The dining table looked empty, even though it got filled with delicious food. Lily set the last tray of food down before looking at her young master's face. She waited for ten minutes for him to recognize that dinner had gotten served. Yet, after so many minutes had passed, Gabriel took no interest in touching his food.Lily then eyed Bob to assist her, but he kept quiet like everyone else. Nobody felt like being the one to break the silence since they feared upsetting their young master."You guys can have them. I am not hungry." Gabriel calmly said.He stood up from his seat and walked away from the table, then headed to his room."I feel bad for the young master. He hasn't been eating a lot these days, and without his omega, he is like a lonely and pitiful alpha." Lily said."Never call your master pitiful again! He is the alpha of this villa and the son of Ace! There is
Selena's heart was pounding in her chest as she stared at these alphas' fierce expressions, and she thought she was going to collapse from how violently her heart was beating. But then, after a few seconds, everything seemed to move in slow motion, and Selena felt calm and in control of herself and her surroundings."I hate fools!" Selena said with force in her voice like no other.The wine glass in Gabriel's hand slipped to the floor as he lost consciousness. Bob instantly rested his hand on the counter, blocking his young master's head from banging on the wooden surface. He confusedly stared at his young master's unconscious face.The twelve alphas seemed shocked when they saw Selena's blood-red eyes glowing in the moonlight."Boss, both her eyes color has changed. Do you think she is taking the same drug that you are taking to enhance your power?" One of them whispered to their leader.&nbs
Selena opened her eyes, and the fear in her suddenly shifted into confusion. It was dark, so she couldn't tell who it was, but once the dark figure came closer, she instantly recognized the face."It's you. What are you doing back here." She asked."Why? You don't want to see your cab driver's twice?" A familiar voice said."I told you that I don't want us entangling with each other. My life is not something you want to get mixed up in.""I can see that. You handle those jerks the right way. I couldn't have done a perfect job like you did.""You! How long have you been following me?""For a while now.""Who the hell are you?""Call me Aaron."Selena frowned at him, even though he had the friendliest smile on his face. She didn't trust him, and finding out that Aaron had been following her, made he
