ROSE POV“Ben is a very wonderful guy. You’re just being mean.” I told May.I was happy that today was May’s day off work and she had called me out so we could hang out. Since Jason left for school, I had been bored to death and her call had come in at the best time. “Rose, don’t talk to me about guys. Speaking of, what about Jason’s dad? Have you tried getting in contact with him?” I realized that I hadn’t let her in on what had been going on. “Yeah, I ran into him, one day at the mall. Actually, Jason got lost, and I was going crazy trying to look for him. Apparently, Max had him and that’s when I saw him. I don’t know how he found out that Jason was his son, but, a few days after, he comes knocking saying he wants Jason. At first, I thought he was just joking, but these days, he shows up at my door, asking for him, saying that has his reasons. He looks very desperate.”“Have you asked him what those reasons are?” “No.” I took a sip of my drink. “I haven’t been bothered to, beca
MAX POVAlpha Damien had been in my office all day, along with his Beta and of course, Zayne. We had been looking at maps, to see how Gray wolves had got into our territories without being spotted. I had made sure that at every point on the borders, there had been guards, to monitor every movement. Even so, we looked at a possible list of enemies. Thankfully, we had been able to narrow it down to females.The confusing thing was, I had never had any encounter with women that would warrant this, so I wondered how this whole thing came back to me. A knock on my door interrupted our conversation. Jerry, the guard I had sent to watch Jason and Rose, came in. “Boss, I have something to report. The boy was kidnapped today, while playing at the park." My ears found it hard to believe it. My son… “What? Then why the fuck are you back here?" I turned to Zayne “Gather the men, now!" “Boss, I got there just in time. I was able to get him back to his mother." Jerry explained.I felt as if c
ROSE POVThe moment Max showed me the picture of my mum and my heart dropped. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was shocked to my bones, but I had to gather myself, so I could get to my mum before Max harmed her. Quickly, I quickly grabbed Jason, who had been mindlessly watching TV on the couch, and dragged him outside. At that moment, a cab was passing, fortunately, and I hailed him. If Max did anything to my mother, I would never forgive Max. I had to leave my mother, whose health declined in that time, because of him.“Mummy, where are we going?" Jason asked me. “We're going to see Mr. Wolf." I remembered the name he gave to Max the other time.“Yay! Mr. Wolf!" He threw his hands in the air, really happy. I didn't like how Max had grown on Jason. It was funny how I still remembered Max's address from the last time I came here, which was three years ago when he had asked me to get rid of my baby. As soon as the car stopped moving, I paid the driver and got down. When I knocked on
MAX POVAs I went through the reports for the shipments that I had shipped in, a couple of things weren't adding up. “Zayne." I called. I didn't bother shouting, because I knew Zayne was always around, somehow. When he came into the office, I threw the papers before him. " What's going on, Zayne? Two carts are missing. I'm very sure they didn't just disappear into thin air, now did they?" “No boss." “Good, so get to looking for them, if you don't want to die." He bowed and walked out of the room.Things hadn't been going well recently. Several of my shipments had been missing, my men were being killed like flies everyday, my family were being threatened, and I had been called to war by an unknown enemy.Just then, a knock came through my door, and that girl that had claimed to be the new cool, came through the door. She carried a tray, and I watched her intently as she walked closer to me.As she tried to drop it on the table, I stopped her. “Don't even think about it. What is
MAX POVZayne and I had planned to lure the mole. Well, not before my sixth sense kept nagging at me, to check my door. As I walked towards my door, I heard some movements and then feet running away.I quickly opened my door to follow the person, but there was no one there. I made sure to search around, but the floor was deserted, left for Zayne and I. Someone had been listening in on our conversation.I looked back at Zayne who seemed to have heard the footsteps as well, and had followed me out of the office. “He really has some balls, I must admit." Well, this was going to be fun. I made Zayne find a way to spread the word, that another shipment of twenty cargos of meth were coming in tomorrow. He was to make sure that it didn't look deliberate. He was also to say that the Boss was really expecting this shipments, because he cost him a lot of money. Let's see if the fish would take the bait. Zayne got to work almost immediately, because minutes after he left, Mark came into m
ROSE POVEver since I got back from Max's house, I hadn't been able to think straight. I understood that he was trying to look out for us, but as I had said, I would be very miserable if I stayed with him. Even though Max thought he was ready for a family, I didn't see it. He barely had time for himself, always busy, so when would he have time to take care of Jason? I didn't even want to think of my relationship with him, cause that was more complicated than rocket science. Jason needed someone who would be present for him, and right now, I wasn't sure Max was stable enough for that. Someone knocked on my door, and I dropped the laundry I was folding. As I opened the door, I saw Max and Zayne standing in the doorway with two other men.Normally, I would have slammed the door in his face, but this time, Max was bleeding. Badly. “What the… Max! What happened? Come inside!." I moved out of the way so they could take him inside. Thankfully, I had just put Jason to sleep, so I coul
ROSE POVWe have been staying with Max for four days now. I still haven't said a word to him, because I didn't know what to say to him. The tension between us was so obvious, but no one else wanted to say anything about it. He had tried speaking to me, but I hadn't given him ears. I hadn't been feeling too well either. I felt nauseous, and really tired all day, so I spent most of my time in my room, resting. Jason, on the other hand, was having the time of his life. He had spent every time he had with Max, basically being a nuisance to Zayne and I. Max had bought him over with all the toys a child would want in his lifetime. It annoyed me to no end that they were getting along, but I couldn't exactly do anything about it. I would just seem like the witch if I took Jason away from Max. Ever since I'd been here, Max's men have been treating me well. They address me as ‘Madam' because the first time one of them had called me by my name, Max held his neck until he was almost blue.
MAX POVMy eyes had been closed for a couple of minutes. I had barely gotten any sleep in the past two days.Yesterday, I went with Zayne and some of my men to check out some suspicious activities that had been going on downtown. My spies had reported back to me that they had seen some cargoes being transported inside a warehouse and they suspected that these were the human traffickers. We had quickly rushed to the warehouse, but to my greatest surprise, it was empty. It was like they had disappeared into thin air. It wasn't possible for all those men to have disappeared with all those cargoes without being spotted by anyone. I had made sure my spies watched their every move. Nothing had ever made me worry the way I had been worried these past few days. No one had ever been able to outsmart me like this, and it seemed this person was so good at it. My door swung open and Zayne walked into the office, wearing the same expression as I did. “Boss, I don't want you to let this situa
