Oscar It was now a week since I claimed Karen, and our lives had been good. I spent a lot of time with her indoors, and we went out in the evenings. I knew I had somehow neglected my duties at the pack, but it wasn't because of Karen. It was because we were at a dead end. Since Maria had informed me that Giles wasn't behind the attack, I figured there was no need to follow Marco's lead. I had tried to inform the guy that he was on the wrong trail, but Gavin had advised me against it. I could see his reason. Given that the culprits were still hunters, we really couldn't trust anyone. The only reason I knew I could trust Gavin was that we had sworn an oath, and he could not lie to me. Karen and I were watching a movie in the lounge when my mother barged into my house, fuming with anger. Karen shook at the sight of my mother and tried to leave, but my mother pushed her back, and she fell. "What is the meaning of this, mother?" I asked her. "How could you, Oscar? After everything that

Oscar My mother stared at us for almost three minutes. I couldn't tell what she was thinking or how she was feeling, but I was sure my wolf's display had scared her so much that she seemed to have no choice in the matter. My wolf had surprised me. I knew Karen was dead serious about leaving, and I felt it. I couldn't believe that she would just want to leave like that after everything. I felt her pain and reluctance, but the woman was just too damn stubborn to give in. It took my raging wolf taking over and her mark burning for her to realise she would stay. I knew she was lying when she said she was only bluffing. I intended to deal with her once I was done with my mother. I intended to teach her a lesson. She had no right to leave. We owned each other, and I am in this till I die. "Oscar, how is it possible that a human can feel the mate bond even before marking?" my mother asked me, confused, and I looked at her with a blank expression because I did not have the answers either.

KarenI was still yet to recover from the shock of what happened with Oscar's mother. First, Oscar shifted into a scary mad wolf, then the woman accepted me reluctantly because she had no choice, then, she found out who my parents were and accepted me wholeheartedly, claiming my mother saved their lives. It was all stressful. Honestly, I did not want to have a family dinner after all the ruckus, but the woman insisted, and I had no choice.I am sitting at the table minding my business, and here comes this brunette being bitchy and disrespectful. The look on her face was epic when Oscar told her he had a mate. Although I doubted if she knew it was me, it was still epic.Her eye was twitching throughout the meal. I wish I could record her. If Oscar had given her a chance, she would have been worse than Tabitha."Is your mate in our pack?" The idiot finally asked, and I was surprised by her boldness. I could feel Oscar's irritation, so I tou

KarenI could understand Oscar's reason for not telling me he was going to a meeting to see my father. I had never been the nosy kind, and the fact that we were now official did not mean I was going to start being nosey or overbearing like Tabitha. Knowing that about Oscar, I did not intend to trouble him even though I knew he would have obliged me and wouldn't hate me or dump me for it. But I let it be. I wouldn't have asked to join him anyway because I wasn't ready to see my father."Karen, do you like your new toys?' Danjuma asked me, and I smiled. I was surprised it took him this long to comment on my weapon. I nodded with a smile."Instead of admiring my toys. Can you educate me on where we're going and what or who we would be facing?" I asked.Danjuma looked at Akio to speak."There is an Alley down town close to Aisle One. A lot of disturbances have been reported and some of the protitutes that work there at night have gone

Oscar"Guys we came here for a different matter. Why don't we solve the matter first. then you two can privately discuss your issues?" I said, and John Hunter looked at me with an evil glint in his eyes."If this bitch does not remove the glamour on my child and let me know where my daughter is, I will not volunteer the information I have and don't think I care about the supernatural community that much. Isabel and I have done well for ourselves over the years. We would just skip town and start afresh elsewhere without siring vampires." He said, and we knew he was dead serious.Technically, Mariah had done a great evil by keeping this couple from their daughter. A daughter that she did not care for. A daughter that suffered all her life until I met her. Karen was right to hate the woman, and I was angry that she had used me to look like the good guy. Vampire or not, Karen deserved to meet her parents. I wasn't going to let the city burn because
