The papers were scattered across the table and the room and on the chair meant for guests, Gillian Smart sat down there, wrapping her arms around herself and sniffling. It was lunchtime for every staff but she dared not move an inch. Not when Lyne and Zeidan were still busy solving the death of the former pharmacist, Samantha. The staff had been informed not to allow anyone into the office until they were done and for the past three hours or more, they had been inside the office, searching for shreds of evidence or footage that might reveal the face of the woman who had brought the jewelry into the company. "I don't even know why she came here in the first place.""You don't? Zeidan, she obviously came here to kill you.""But I wasn't here at that time that she came, was I?" He looked up at Gillian who was just there staring into space. "Gillian?"She looked up at him, her shirt and hair rumpled. "Yes?""When the woman came in, was I in the office?""Well, she came around when you w

"Gather the iron and other resources and build the side of the gate. I want it to be stronger and taller. Don't want any stupid sibling ruining my feast when he gets drunk." Korba ordered as she was dressed in a robe that dragged behind her and her brown hair was straightened to be plastered on her head. She looked refreshed. Better than the day they had that fight by the table. Was it just him or she had gained weight?Charles left the pillar he had been leaning against and walked up to his sister who had been busy these past few days preparing for her wedding. "It's a pity you still chose to go ahead with the wedding despite the odds and the stakes. I don't think I have much left to do any longer. The rest lies with you.""Everything about my life has always rested in my hands and not you. When will you ever learn to go about your own business." Korba spat back, her face filled with rage."Ohh, is my sister mad at me for ruining her beautiful moment with the family before getting m

Love was not part of the agreement, and she wondered if it could ever be. Of course not. Not when Lyne is standing in the way. It was her desire for power on her part that brought her this far. Nothing more than that, she had hoped. Even so, she knew in her mind that she wanted him. Wanted him to love her and care for her like he always did with Lyne. No. She shouldn't compare Lyne's happiness to hers. She knew by the look in his eyes each time she looked into them that he was deeply in love with that woman and the way he always held her was extraordinary. However, it all could just be a result of one thing. Make Lyne feel wanted for once. It's not a bad thing to let a little girl enjoy her life for the time being and although the enjoyment was getting too deep and was etching into her skin, she could do nothing but watch. Meanwhile, she has to give Zeidan reasons why she is the best woman he can ever ask for. One of the reasons is taking down the spies around the Kingdom, one by one

"Don't you think...""I've just got a letter from Dad. I sent one to him asking if they were still in the jungle just a day before yesterday and he replied surprisingly fast." Lyne slipped open the envelope, removed the sheet of paper, and read out the content."Hello, dear daughter. It has been a while since we last spoke or saw. I know you must be thinking that I have forgotten about you or that I do not think about you. However, I want you to know that I..." She paused as she looked at her Father's scrawny writing on the paper. Those words were heavy to read out just as they had been heavy to leave his mouth. Zeidan moved closer to her and as she leaned against his bare chest, she read out the rest but skipped the three powerful words. "A lot has been going on. In south Jungle of course but the important ones are that Korba and Azrael will be getting married next tomorrow at our Kingdom at South Park, in Los Angeles city. Another one is Olivia was found in the forest trying to hun

"Oh my god!" Lyne flung her eyes open and the huge mansion owned by her Father vanished in front of her. It was a dream. Or a vision in her case. She felt Zeidan's hand wrapped around hers and she was grateful she has someone like him. He will always be the best for her as a husband and as a father maybe. Father. Her heart skipped a beat. She had never really given having children a thought but it just occurred to her now that Zeidan had never mentioned anything about having kids. Does he even want to have kids? What would it be like to have a kid for a Vampire? Will the baby be half vampire, half Wolf? Or fully Vampire? She placed a hand on her stomach and felt his eyes on her as he kept driving."Do you care to tell me what your dream was about?" Lyne looked up at him and smiled, her mind wandered back to what seemed like a vision or something else, just too real to be called a dream. "I don't know. But I was extremely angry at my sister and she mentioned something like having an
