Chapter 23
The next day we all spent time together but, there was something definitely off with Lucinda.
I continued to feel someone's presence lurking in the trees, and I knew that it would not be long before I found out who it was. Judging by Lucinda's reactions, the way her eyes kept on darting into the trees and denying that something was bothering her. She knew exactly what might be going on, and I did not know how to make her tell me without using my mental abilities. I knew though if she saw through that she would hate me. I was left waiting for her to open up but, with Lucinda, that could be never. As night fell, the girls started to prepare to retire into their tents to fall asleep. I, however, do not necessarily need sleep, it is during this time that I leave Lucinda and Molly to hunt. I decide to take a drive out of the area, I have already realized by the pungent odor of wet dog that there is a Werewolf clan nearby. I wondered all day why Lucinda was off belieRelated chapters
The Beloved Chapter 24
I drove all night trying to calm the beast within me, after what just happened, and all of the shocking truths that have transpired over the last few weeks, I was not sure if Luci was the true person for me anymore. I loved her so much yet, how can I trust her? I had been getting the suspicion awhile ago that she was keeping secrets from me, and as time went on I started to understand they revolved around Molly. I understood part of her reasoning however, I could not agree with it. I knew she was still brokenhearted after Molly's father abandoned them, and I thought that if I ever met the man I would annihilate the person for acting as such. Now, meeting him, I understood it, he had no idea he was a father, meaning he would have found it hard to leave if he had. How could Lucinda have been that heartless? If it were me, I would want to know as well, it was his right as a parent! She revealed herself to be so selfish that she would completely isolate Molly even from any family at all

We searched for days never finding Lucinda. Rydon had looked briefly since it is his daughter's mother. After hours of searching, he received a mindlink and needed to return to his pack. This situation was difficult enough, he would only look because she was a human and his loyalties were to protect his pack and human life but, he had no feelings for her anymore except now possibly hate for the shocking truths that unraveled during this entire camping trip. I promised him that I would arrange for Molly to associate with him one more time before we leave after we find Lucinda, and Molly agreed to spend time with him sometime in the future.I had never expected to meet Lucinda's former lover, I had never expected him to be a werewolf, let alone an Alpha. I was still infuriated with her about the previous night with the fight between the three of us. This revelation really showed her true colors to me, and I questioned whether she ever loved me if she could treat her own d
The Beloved Chapter 26
I remember that was one of the longest days of my existence. Molly and I endured the long drive back to Liverpool in grief-stricken silence. Neither of us talks about what happened. The tension and bitter emotions in the car were suffocating. Somehow, what had started as a family camping trip turned into tragedy. I racked my brain trying to understand what the Fuck went wrong! We stopped at a service station to fill up on gas. I made my way inside to buy some chocolate for Molly, she cried her eyes dry as she slept during the drive. I know how it is to lose a parent, nothing will except time dulls the pain. I am grateful to be here with her, no one should suffer it alone.In the following weeks, I had informed her parents about the accident. I had met her father once at Molly's Graduation. I only wish life did not go this way. Lucinda made bad choices by excluding her family without giving a legitimate reason now, she is lost to them forever. Their comfort and mine are

It feels like it has been forever since I have seen my old friend Victor Nelson. Seeing him show up surprisingly in front of the building where my penthouse resides was a true delight. We embraced each other and took a stroll along the beachfront of Lake Michigan in Chicago by Navy pier. It was amazing to catch up with him since he has been absent from my life for so many years. I inquired how his mate is doing, where he is in life now. I was pleased to learn that he and his mate her very happy together, she helped him redirect his life, and he became a lawyer. I invited him to join my legal team, and be my official legal advisor if he will accept it.Later that night we enjoyed ourselves like old times. we traveled out of the city and painted each town we happened across red while satiating our thirsts. After hours of hunting, I do not even realize that I am once again in the clearing of anguish from so many years ago. The cabin is still there, a bit weathered by natur

Over the next few weeks it seems as if my life was filled with neverending chaos. An endless parade of meetings, media appearances and paparrazzi. Filthy parasites! and werewolves give me derogatory names. Paparazzi make me want to go on a killing spree and suck them all dry! Trying to walk out of my apartment building during common hours of the day is daunting, they are literally right in my face at times. When they begin to pester me too much I improvise, solve my problem, by inviting them over for a "night cap" of my own. I still remember last week, during an evening which was a really difficult day for me. I felt so suffocated, I had not hunted in what felt like awhile, and a photographer, who could have been gorgeous if given the right style clothing, would not stop pestering me, she was very bold and in my face. I snapped, compelled her to come to my Penthouse in the late hours. That was a very entertaining night, we spent long hours tangled in my guest bedroom sheets, as I sa

The weeks passed, life started to feel tedious. Going through the daily motions of being a "human" multi-billionaire was starting to grow old. I will never give up my business however, a part of the longs for some time off, just like Charles is enjoying. Perhaps I should connect with Victor now that he has returned to the city. We used to have some wild fun before he found his mate he had a great time painting the town red. I miss the hunting trips, that was a different world though, with a lot less technology, easier to lurk and hunt in small towns.I decide to do something which I have not done in years and should have done ages ago. I am going to see the Coven Council. I need to shake things up in my life, and it starts by demanding the claim which they know I rightfully deserved. I know that many of them do not like me, degenerate, outdated old leeches. I know who I rightfully am, and they have been holding me back. Out of all those blood-sucking parasites, only a h

The flight felt like it lasted for hours before the plane finally landed. I was relieved to be exiting the plane, as soon as I was outside, on located my car. I am very thankful to Ms. Tomes for arranging for my driver William to meet me at my location."Hello, Mr. Eldridge" he greets me with a professional smile."Hello Will, how is the family?" I ask him as I place myself in the back seat. He informs me during the drive of their wellbeing. He tells me that his son just graduated from Yale with honors. As I exit the car I give him five hundred in cash as congratulations for his son after I remove my luggage. Shocked with a smile, he thanks me as he drives away. I head to the concierge desk. The woman behind the desk is blatantly ignoring me while talking on the phone, in what appears to be a personal call. I think right there if I should invest in buying this whole to hire acceptable people! I clear my throat "Ahem! excuse me, miss!" I speak loudly
