When I went downstairs the next day, I was surprised to find so much activity in the house. The house was always silent but it had suddenly turned into a hub of activity. I treaded carefully as I headed to the kitchen. A young unfamiliar woman was pouring milk into a glass while Francesca was frying some eggs.“Who are you?” she asked, pouring the milk carton back into the fridge. “Kelsey Arlington,” I said. “You?”She raised a brow and tilted her head.“Am I supposed to know you?” she asked. I glanced at Francesca and noticed she had a smirk on her face.“So you must be Jackson’s new toy,” she commented, staring at me from head to toe. I wanted to feel angry, but I didn’t. It was clear to me that Jackson was used to having different women every now and then. That’s why everyone around him imagined I was his current toy that he would use and dump. However, I didn’t plan to be that kind of woman to Jackson. If he thought putting me in the pack house would make me desire him, he was
Jackson. I stared at the phone for a few minutes before picking up. “Hello?” A chuckle echoed from the other end of the line. “Hello Jackson King, I hope you’re ready for what’s about to happen to you.” The dread I had been feeling since the phone rang finally made sense. Nothing good could come from Bryson. Even when he feigned niceness, you could tell there was great evil inside him. “What do you want, Bryson?” I asked, trying to remain civil. All I wanted was to send that fool straight to hell. “Oh Jackson,” Bryson said before chuckling. “I called to warn you. You need to prepare for what’s about to come your way. I know you think you’re unbeatable but I’m very sure you will not survive this. It’s going to come in a way you least expect.” Dread washed over me but I did not feel scared of Bryson’s warnings. “It’s a shame that a man like you has time for this foolishness. You want to challenge me, do it like a man not a little boy. I don’t have time for these games. You know th
I thought I was going to die. My body was letting go, and I thought there was nothing I could do until I remembered the poisoned laced pocket knife I had stuffed in the pockets of the shorts I’d worn underneath my dress. My hands were weak by I managed to push my fingers into the pocket and retrieved it. With all my might, I suddenly stabbed him in the thigh. He was shocked and let go of me for a second. He quickly regained his bearings and grabbed me again, this time laughing. “Do you really think this tiny blade is going to stop me?” he asked, his hands reaching out to me. He grabbed my head and was about to snap my neck when the pain hit him. He twisted his face and went down on his good leg. He grabbed the blade and pulled it out of his thigh. Grabbing a shirt, I ran out of the room and put it on from outside. “What’s going on?” a petite sales woman came rushing towards the stalls. “There’s a man inside there. He wants to kill me.” I started running towards the door. I was abou
Jackson.“The cops have her,” David, one of my most trusted guards said.“Who?” I asked. I had a feeling it was Kelsey.“Miss Arlington,” he said. “She just got arrested, and is being accused of killing a man.”“What? When did this happen? Did she really kill him?”“I have no idea, sir but a man is certainly dead. The forensics team are carrying a body bag to their vehicle.”I sighed. “Well, he must have deserved it. I’ll go to the station right now. But wait, where is Angie and why didn’t she get back to me?”“She just returned to the shop and is asking random people questions. She had left Miss Arlington in the shop and gone down the street. She returned just as she was being pushed into the police car and didn’t do anything.”“Wow, okay. I’ll get to the station now. Thanks for the information.”Now I was convinced that Angie could not be trusted. This couldn’t be coincidental. I was pretty sure that young woman was planning my downfall. I tried to think of anything bad I had done t
From the time I laid eyes on him, I knew he was dangerous. Far more dangerous than Jackson King. Vlad Kosher was something else, and way more powerful. Although he was seated at the front of the car and I was behind, I could feel intense energy radiating from his body. I was sure every supernatural being could feel it from miles. This was no ordinary man and I had a feeling he was going to cause trouble. Earlier Jackson had spoken about him very well, but now it looked like he didn’t want to be near the man.Even I didn’t want to be near that man. The way he had looked at me had made me uncomfortable. I wondered if he couldn’t tell there was something between Jackson and I, or he had just chosen to ignore it. Had it been any other man, Jackson would have said something but he was fairly quiet during the ride. The man had an amused smile on his face the whole time, and I knew only evil thoughts were running through his mind. The two friends barely spoke all the way home, each lost in t
We didn’t bother closing the door after entering Jackson’s living room. Jackson pinned me against the wall and continued kissing me. With one hand on the wall, Jackson ran the other through my hair as he kissed me passionately. My hands ran through his back before moving to his chest and trying to remove his jacket. I wanted to feel more of him. He stood back to help me, our eyes met for a moment and we both smiled before our lips connected again. Moaning against his lips, I started to unbutton his shirt as his hands caressed my waist making me gyrate it against his lower section. I could feel his dxck pushing against his pants. I unbuckled his belt and let it out. Jackson lifted me against the wall and was about to thrust in when I shrieked. I felt his body stiffen and he paused.“What is it, baby?” he whispered against my ear. I love the feel of his breath fanning against my skin.“The door is wide open,” I told him. “Someone could come in and find us.”“Let them,” he said before t
Jackson.The room felt empty after Kelsey left, leaving me with my thoughts. If she couldn’t change her mind about our bond after the mind-blowing sex we had just had, nothing would. I remembered what had led us to that moment and anger started building up. I was starting to dislike Vlad very much after noticing the kind of attention he gave my mate. She was mine and I was not going to let him snatch her away. Vlad seemed like someone who would do anything possible to get what he wanted. He was quite like me in that aspect, which made me regret befriending him. Maybe people of similar temperaments were not supposed to be friends.Suddenly Annette walked in. She screamed and ran back out after seeing me naked. I chuckled and stood up, quickly putting on my boxers. I went to the door and looked out. There was no one so I closed it. My phone started ringing and I went to pick up my trousers. I searched the pockets for my phone. Speak of the devil. The call was from none other than Vlad,
The next two days were calm and quiet. The King Sisters spent a lot of their time checking on other pack members, so were not always at the pack house. Francesca and the other maids were always busy because we were getting more visitors than ever. Sometimes Sandra and Annett returned with their friends. Angie did not want to talk to me although she always gave me what I requested for. I tried to taunt her so she could say something, or even confess her involvement in my arrest but she remained quiet about it. It was Saturday and the pack house was buzzing with activity. Serval tables and decorations had been set up for a party that was going to happen that evening. Even I had joined in the frenzy, helping with the set up. There was a professional catering team handling the food preparation and everything related to it. It was going to be a huge party and all members of Midnight Pack were invited. After lunch, I decided to take a walk in the woods. The sun was shining bright but the
