Five Years Later…“Not going to work out.” I mumbled, stuffing the file I had in my hand in the drawer.“It is going to work out.” Nia frowned, “I gave him a kiss.”“On the cheek.” I tried to hold back my smile, “you kissed him on the cheek. The situation required a minimum of a blowjob, girly.”Nia leaned against the couch, sipping her coffee. Since we had gotten a bigger office because now we were making changes to all the packs that Alessio owned, not only Bloodmoon, the workload had increased. Nia had been helpful since the very beginning though. Diana had moved out, and gone to the city to have a new life with her human partner who had had werewolf- human parents. They had met at a grocery shop one day, somehow hit it off, started dating secretly and the next thing I know, we are getting a surprise announcement from Diana saying she is getting married again.We met the dude though. There was no way we were going to handover our sweet Diana to a total stranger.Turns out he was f
Alessio drove us home in his car.He was silent.I was silent.I was feeling a good deal of relief. There was the distinct possibility that my life was going to go back to normal. I’d never been a fan of normal, in fact, I avoided it at all costs, but now it sounded really good to me.I kind of wanted to ask Alessio if it was truly all over but I could tell Alessio didn’t feel in the mood to talk. I could tell this because there were scary “not now” vibes bouncing around inside the car so I figured talking about this later would be better.Lara was in much better shape than me, thankfully. Since they did not have any use of her, they had just dumped her in a dungeon far away from the main house and gave her food every two days. I was pretty sure that it was not by choice though. Seth was overly cautious of not letting Alessio find him at any cost. Hiding Lara in a dungeon and leaving her there must have been the part of his plan because Lara is a warrior, much stronger and smarter tha
MiaWhen the dust settled down, I saw Daniel standing right there, his gun in his hand and it was smoking.Thank… you… God.It might seem terrible that I was thanking the good Lord that someone got shot but if divine retribution came in the form of Daniel and his silver revolver, I was not going to quibble.Before I could react, or look around to see where Alessio was, I heard from behind me in a voice I did not recognize.“Step away from the girl, and get down on your knees.”It wasn’t Alessio.It was a man with yellow eyes, holding a gun directly to Seth’s temple.Wow.“Take him back, Jacob.” Daniel said and Seth and yellow eyes moved back several steps.Daniel came forward, gun pointed at the man on the floor who was rolling around, hands holding his thigh, blood seeping between his fingers.I stared in horror. I wasn’t really good with blood and there seemed to be a lot of it.“Is he still alive?” I asked in a trembling voice. The man that Seth had abused, he was still alive!Dani
Alessio“I can’t risk getting wrong info about this, you know that, right, Jacob?” I questioned the bounty hunter in front me.Jacob cocked his to the side, raising his brow, “When have I ever disappointed you?”I thought about it for a second. The number came to zero. That is exactly why I had chosen him to trace Mia. “This is about my mate.” I replied quietly, taking the tablet from his hand to scroll through while keeping my eyes locked with his yellow ones, “I can absolutely not risk any wrong information for this case. If anything goes wrong, I am gonna have your neck on the table before I burn everything to the ground.”Even though I trusted Jacob because not only he was smart, young, and almost as fast as me when it came to fighting and hiding his traces, it was hard for me to put Mia’s life into someone else’s hands. “I am aware of that.” Jacob straightened, his serious gaze transfixed on me, “I already double checked everything, you don’t need to worry.”***“Come at me.” J
The Next Day…My body hurt in places that I did not even know could hurt. There was nothing but agony filling my whole being as I washed hundreds of scattered dishes that were thrown in front of me to clean after breakfast.I had not healed at all. My body was still wrapped up in bandages and some wounds were still leaking a bit of blood. My face and neck were severely swollen, and I had become unrecognisable. Seth did what he had said while accepting what I was desperately hoping for.I was out of the dungeon, out of the hospital room confinement, but Seth made sure to inject me with a scent hiding potion, and a potion that entirely made me ugly and an old age woman instead of myself so that even though I lived here, no one would recognize me as Mia. There were about ten men in his clan. All of them were strong, buffed up people with dangerous looks in their eyes. Scars covered them, and they were just letting Seth take the lead because Seth was smarter and more ruthless than them.
Harry looked like he did not want to, but then seeing the ‘no- negotiation’ look on Seth’ face, he turned around and walked out of the room.Seth walked up to me, his eyes going from my bandage-wrapped forehead to my severely swollen face which had a huge tape stamped on the one side of my cheek, my neck, down to my arms, wrists, and legs which were also in the same condition. Not broken, but heavily injured and wrapped in bandages to stop the bleeding.“Harry did a good job on you, it seems.” he smirked, laughing a little as he sat down on the chair next to my bed, “oh Mia… when are you going to learn?”“Learn what?” I croaked out, even though it hurt my throat and my face like shards of glass were digging inside my skin.“That anyone in this clan or anyone outside of it can break you into tiny little pieces and throw your body to the dogs without blinking twice.”“Are you worried about me?” I mocked.Seth smiled, “Of course. Don’t you see me crying tears of blood here, my sweet sist
