ALICIA P.O.V It's been hours now since Atluri left the house but until now Marcus hasn't returned any of my calls. Everyone else was back except for Katherine. However I didn’t tell them that Atluri stopped by."Where are you Marcus?" I whispered. I walked downstairs to the sitting room and while making my way to the sofa chair, I felt the vibration of my phone.I checked and It was Eddie so I answered the call."Hello Dad," I said."Hello Alicia, how are you doing?" he asked."I'm okay," I replied."Sorry I missed your calls. I had a lot of engagement here. was there something you wanted to tell me?" He asked."Nothing serious, I just wanted to know how Marcus is doing. I've also been trying to reach him but he has not been answering my phone calls," I replied."Are you serious? It's been hours now since he left the police station," he replied. "Didn’t he stop by?" "He did," I replied. "Don't worry about it, I'm sure he will be back soon."I hung up immediately after my comment as I

ALICIA'S P.O.VThis is the first time I am seeing my husband this frightened. It was also frightening to see him this way. Marcus will never fear unless the situation is critical.Who in the world is Wade and why is Marcus afraid of him? I thought to myself."He is coming Alicia, Wade is coming," Marcus said."Who is Wade?" I finally voiced my curiosity."He is my father's elder brother. Harold told me about how brutal they are," He replied."If he is your uncle then why will he want to kill you?" "It's the Wade’s rule," He answered. "My uncle made that rule and it was set as one of the most revered rules in my pack." "What does it say?" "It says that if any of Harold's pack leave Catalina Island they will be eliminated." "If you tell your uncle that you are his nephew then he would spare our lives," I said."No, he won't. After his conflict with my father, he had always desired to kill me, that was what my parents told me…" "But that doesn't make it true," I interrupted."Yes it

MARCUS P.O.V“Alicia, no, please listen to me. Run away,” I pleaded with my gaze fixed on my wife who stared at Wade with determination.“Let’s end this here and now,” Alicia said.I watched Wade clench his fist with a cruel smile over his face. He was about to attack when we heard the sound of sirens. I looked towards the road and I saw many police cars approaching. We were all shocked for a while.I looked at Alicia who seemed as shocked as we were. It was obvious that she didn’t call the cops. I didn’t call the cops either so who would have done this? I thought to myself.“Shit!” Wade exclaimed. He glared at Alicia again. “Let’s just say you got lucky this time but we will meet some other time,” he replied.The officers had already ventured into my compound and seeing this, Wade fled with his pack. Seeing they were all gone I stood up on my feet as I went after Alicia.“Are you alright, were you hurt?” I asked while observing her.“I’m fine Marcus,” she replied. Immediately after h

MARCUS P.O.VI walked up to my laptop on my bedroom table. I unlocked the computer then opened the minimized windows. “I’ve been doing some research about him for months now and these are the reports I got,” I said.I saw the spread of shock over Alicia’s face while scrolling down the pages. There was undeniable proof that he was dangerous.“Before working as a detective he had been through several other firms, including, heist, secret agencies and many more. Also, he has no record of ever having any parents. The only information I was able to get from his childhood life was that he grew up in an orphanage…” I was still explaining when Alicia stopped me.“Let’s agree that you are right and this man is not who we think he is but I don’t think going through his biography is the right thing to do,” she said.I heaved a sigh. “I understand your point but the reason I am doing this is because sooner or later Atluri is going to find out about us and I have to be prepared when he does,” I no

MARCUS P.O.V "I don't care, Marcus. I have heard enough, all I want right now is to see my grandchild and ensure that he is safe," Eddie said. "Just take me to my Alicia." "Okay," I replied. I started the vehicle and in a short time we were on our way to my house.While driving I explained a few things to Eddie. He was more concerned with knowing about the pack that attacked us last night since they were the ones most likely to have my child.Letting him know that Wade was my uncle brought out even deeper questions about my background so I told him everything including who my true parents were."Unbelievable, I can't believe that I have been left in the dark all these while. I noticed there was no resemblance between you and Morgan’s family yet I chose to be deceived." "I'm sorry for not letting you know sooner, this was all my fault, your daughter is innocent," I replied."You don't have to defend her like that. I know my daughter and she will do all it takes to protect someone sh
