Semua Bab Dark Secrets(A forbidden Affair Series Book 1): Bab 1 - Bab 10

CHLOE August 1,2016.  I was running late. I checked my dashboard again to make sure I was still driving under the approved 40 km/hr limit since this was a residential area. It wouldn't do to be pulled over and delay getting to Alicia.That little menace had called me up a few minutes ago and demanded I come over. Immediately. Apparently she was injured in the gazebo. She had fallen down when climbing to the top of the gazebo. Why she would do something as dumb as that,I had no idea.I found it strange though that she

 MILES' POV "What are you doing here Miles?"A voice asked, nearly making me jump out of my skin.I'd been so engrossed in going through James' secret desk that I forgot to listen for footsteps. A rookie mistake that I shouldn't have made.I turned to face the new occupant of the room.It was Chloe, arms folded, giving me the patented Chloe look. The look that said she was seconds away from blowing the whistle on me.This was bad.If I didn't shut this down before it got out of hand, she would go to James and ask him about this room. A room I was not supposed to know existed."I need an answer Miles or you can explain yourself to James" There it was. Chloe's only flaw.She was a tattle tale.I pushed out a bit of my essence, enveloping the flash drive I'd found in black."I will tell you later." A defiant look was my only reply."Not happening. Tell me right now." She walked into t

Miles' POV  "Ow" I yelped in pain.I looked down to my tingling flesh and realized someone had poked me in the thigh. I pivoted my head to glare at the broad shouldered jerk that just poked me with a pen.The sharp pain in my thigh did the job of rudely returning my focus back to where it should be. Debriefing my handler about James.The occurrence at James' office had happened four years ago. I'd come a long way from that clueless boy."What do you have for me?"He asked in a gravelled voice.I handed over the flash drive silently."I will pass this on to him. Standby for further instructions." Blade was out of my car in the next second.I tracked him with my eyes until the night swallowed him up. With a heavy heart, I reversed my car and drove home.I wished more than anything that I didn't have to resort to such underhanded tactics against my own family.Unfortunately, I didn't have a

James's POV (Continued) When I turned twenty and I learned about the existence of shadow magic and our family's role in the Order, I resolved to be the best damn Shadow there ever was. At least then father would be proud of me and then he'd have to acknowledge me. Thanks to father retiring quite early, Beaumont became the new master of the House. Okay, a little education.The Order was essentially the magic police. We maintained law and order between the humans and the supernatural community. Put together witches, undead beings and some idiots that can into four legged animals and you have a lot of testosterone -don't matter if they're male or female, the quest to dominate all is the same- and that's where we come in. The our own brand of force -thats the shadow magic we have- and human technology, we have been able to keep everyone in line and dealt judiciously with those who haven't. What's a great organization without an arch nemesis? Welcome the w

JAMES So,where have you been?" Chloe asked, staring at me suspiciously."Are we the only ones having dinner?" I asked with some surprise. The table was laden with food that would make any royal house proud,but there was only three plate settings."Yes. Aunt Tara is visiting her mum. Kyle and Ty have other engagements. My parents are on a cruise. I told you that last week." She finished,glaring at me accusingly.I winced,more strikes against me."Yes you did. Sorry. I forgot.""Seems to be a recurring theme with you. Especially where I'm concerned." She snarled,poking at her food."Has Miles been here today?" I asked Sylvester,sure he wouldn't bite my head off for asking a question"No. Is there a special reason why he was supposed to be here?" Sylvester dabbed at his chin daintily."Yes. I asked him to deliver a package to Chloe." That explained why she was still angry with me. Chloe loved pretty things. If M
