~Hannah~

I stare blankly at the new set of makeup I just acquired with my first pay as an intern. My mind can't seem to focus on them.

Suddenly Olivia jumps from her seat abandoning her painting. “Uncle Nathan!” she squeals.

I raise my head to see Nathan, arms wide open, a big smile on his face, beckoning Olivia to jump in. Which my little girl didn't hesitate to do. She enjoys this—Nathan lifting her high in the sky and swinging her while she giggles until she's out of breath.

  • Twisted Ties: The Brother's Claim    Numbered

    Hannah's POV I don't know how to feel… what to think… So Cathylene knew all these while? She knew all this while, yet she kept silent?“Haha,” a bitter laugh echo in my chest. Everyday, she must have watched me with nothing but spite and hatred. I should have known. When she started referring to Olivia as “your daughter.”When she never ever called Olivia her granddaughter. How did she manage to hold herself back when she knew all these while?What else did she know?“Did you think I wouldn't know?” Cathylene grits. Her voice drags me back to the moment.Her eyes are so fiery I feel my skin prick under. “I’m…”Nothing comes out of my mouth. Was it Liam that told her?“Liam didn't tell me,” she says, her voice low and calculating. As though she heard my mind.“In fact, you are only still here because of Liam. I have been waiting for him to come to me and tell me everything, but he hasn't. It's quite unfortunate he cares so much for someone like you.”Her eyes burn at me with d

    Hannah's POV When my eyes slowly open, everything is blurry. But the smell of the place, and the way my body feels makes me realize I am in an unfamiliar place. I am lying on something that is not wet, yet cooling my skin. I blink, and an ocean comes into view. My eyes and mind slowly take in the water. It's blue and beautiful, stretching far into the distance my eyes can't reach. It makes a ripple as though someone has just launched a rock into it. Then stills again.Nina makes a low sound in my frame that makes me feel safe immediately. How did I get here—Before I can finish thinking, strange memories flood into my head in a rush. In it, Liam is on the floor. Grunting in pain.I clearly recall flipping him over. But now at the memory of it, the reality of what I've done hit me.“Oh shit,” bit my lip and groan under my breath. I can't believe I really did flip him over. Still, the memories don't stop coming.I recall sneaking out of the house after everyone had gathered

  • Twisted Ties: The Brother's Claim    Can't stop

    Nathan's POV I just returned from visiting all Brenda's favorite places in the Pack in search of her, when a loud, resounding roar echoed.I am at the foot of the stairs to go into the guest quarters. At the sound, I pause in my steps. I am still trying to figure out where the roar has come from when I started hearing thuds of many hurrying footsteps. All heading towards Hannah's quarters.My mind jumps. Has Liam lay his hands on Hannah again…Something grips hard in my chest. God, if Liam has touched her again, if he has so much as touched a hair on her skin again… I'll so fucking kill him.My blood boils, and before I can think, I turn and dash after them. I arrive in their quarters—Hannah and Liam's— but can't go in as the place is filled up. Almost everyone in the mansion is gathered here. What's going on?I push through the crowd. As I move, my ears pick up words from the maid servants. “This is unbelievable!”“I can't believe it either. Not in a thousand years!”All the

    Hannah's POV Boom!I shove with all my strength. Thud!Liam lands on the ground with force. And silence. Yes, I'm having none of his forceful penetration any more. I'm so done. So fucking done.Now once I pushed him, I knew what was coming next. Liam charges to his feet and lunges. Like a crazy maniac. But I was prepared. I was prepared a long time ago. So I dodge. And with the force he is attacking me with, he slides forward. His palms intended for my face land heavily on the bed. It leaves a dent that lasts a few seconds before the spot on the mattress rises again. Liam is fuming as he rises.“You dodged it,” he growl, his eyes dark. Dark with evil. Like the devil. I clench both my teeth and fist. “It's enough, Liam. I've had enough. I'm not letting you hurt me again.”Yes, I will fight for myself. I will protect myself. Even if it means fighting back, breaking rules and worse, being called names. My words spark something in Liam. Something dangerous. His eyes glow.

  • Twisted Ties: The Brother's Claim    No more

    Hannah's POV Oh dear Goddess, I am such a fool.I am such a fool for deceiving Nathan. I should have told him everything. I feel so bad for Brenda and I feel even worse that I can't tell Nathan who can help her because I'm trying to protect Nathan. I don't want him having any issues with Cathylene anymore. I pace restlessly in Olivia's room. “What if my hesitation causes Brenda to die?”“What if Cathylene was lying when she said she'd bring her personal doctor to take care of her?”“Oh goddess, please tell me what to do,” I groan helplessly, slumping into the armchair which I use to help Olivia with her assignments sometimes. “Mama.” Olivia stirs in the bed. She's wide awake. Did my restless pacing wake her up?“Sweetie, how long have you been awake? Did mama disturb your sweet sleep?” I try to rock her back to sleep. Her eyelids still feel heavy with sleep. Soon, she falls asleep.I lay her back in bed and considers leaving the room to the living room to allow her to sleep

  • Twisted Ties: The Brother's Claim    Everyone's strange

    Nathan's POV It's very suspicious that no one in this whole house has any idea where Brenda could be. No one.I was at Long Street when I got the impact. Although I was standing, I had to use a lot of my strength to keep myself from falling to the ground. It was as though I had been hit.But no, I wasn't.Which only means one thing… Something has happened. To either Brenda or Hannah. The two wolves I'm connected to: one by mate bond and the other by heart. I glance at the new message in my phone, glance around the busy Long Street before I turn and head back to my car. It was a prank message… the message that brought me to this street. Again. I leave there and drive straight back to the Durk mansion. The prance of my wolf increases as I get closer to the house. I didn't park in the general garage but behind the quarters. I'm driving a different car now. Liam seized my car and would only return it if he wins Jaxon in the election in fulfillment of our deal.Before I step out

    ~Nathan~ I look up from my plate–towards my foster mother. “I don't remember anything. My brain holds no memory of that place.” But it's a lie. I remember everything. In fact, one of the punishments of making it out of Grimswood forest alive is the painful vivid remembrance of all that happened t

  • Twisted Ties: The Brother's Claim    Not giving up

    ~Hannah~Liam grabs my waist. I've just returned from sending Olivia off to school. His eyes are bloodshot and almost closing up. He has a drunk grin on. He leans into my neck and smells me. “Fvck, I–love this,” he slurs as he guides my waist into a slow rhythm dance. He's completely intoxicated.

    ~Hannah~Fight this, Hannah. You can do this.Fuvk it! Sorry, I can't.I arch forward, cup his face and kiss him. Only after I have pulled away do I realize myself. My heart pounds so hard like it would rip from my chest. “Don't say anything, please. Just try to get some sleep,” I stop him before

    ~Hannah~Nathan doesn't move the car but instead he turns off the engine. “I know,” he mumbles. He glances up to meet my confused stare. “I know you did not cheat on Liam. I know that Olivia's father isn't here and…I know that Olivia is my daughter.”If there's a moment they say the world stopped
