She found herself on two minds. One thought of her says to stop following him; the other says, to keep going. Whichever thought she would harken to, Nyx is frightened to discover the truth. That the euphoria she had felt is an illusion; that she had said the piercing words to her only family for the wrong reason. That Alpha Mikhail— the wolf she will be willingly offering her entirety and whole life to— is not worthy of the second chance. Nevertheless, her feet continued following his footsteps along the dark corridors. She carefully observed the things she passes by. Within few minutes of stealth movements, a warm streak of light came into view. It is coming from few lamps attached on the walls. She found the place really weird. Few meters away from her, Alpha Mikhail stopped. She found it strange. It is a cul-de-sac and no one except them are in the place. She stealthily closed a considerable gap to closely learned from Alpha Mikhail's strange behaviour.“He is few minutes late. I

Alpha Lachlan screamed on top of his lungs. No one, not even Maridelle was able to soothe him. The distressed howl coming from Nyx has made him furious, scared, and hopeless. Her cry is undoubtedly making him regret that he trusted Nyx to Sebastian when it is his duty to protect the only family that he have. Not that, he does not trust Sebastian, but Alpha Lachlan knows to greater responsibility to safeguard her is on his hands.He calmed himself only to properly utter the following words. “Beta Mellow” —he gave him a glance— “please take care of Mari. I need to go back there and help them— do what I could.” His face is serious.Maridelle, deep inside her, lies a desire to stop him. Not to let him return to Alpha Mikhail’s mansion. It is dire; however, they are not talking about just any ordinary wolf. They are talking about Nyx and her safety. He will go back there with or without her consent. “Be safe.” She tightly wrapped her arms around his body. “Please be safe and come back to

95 BAAll of them found themselves dumbfounded with mouth wide open as their eyes landed on Maridelle's body on the floor. Her body lies beside Nyx. Now, there are two of them who needs care and none of the men around them know exactly what to do.“Wh-What happened? I am sure we have protected them.” Sebastian got himself wrapped in sheer confusion and extreme fear. They should have been safe.“I should be the one asking you that.” His voice is irritated. “You should have felt it if Mari has been feeling something not good about her body.” He hate to admit it, but Alpha Lachlan is still not over that fact. To mark her is an option; however the certain memory about that unfaithful night is ceasing him; that memory never failed to haunt him. It would be unfair and a deceitful act if he mark her and yet, he had hidden a fraction of his past that he is afraid she will know. A past that had been a big part of both of their lives.“I did not feel something unusual. I don't know what happen

97 BAOne by one, their bodies fell limply into the cold floor. A soft thud came after and became Angelo's signal to proceed to his plan. He took a syringe and five vials, placed four of it on top of the table and took one as he pranced towards the bed.He directed his steps towards Nyx. He raises the syringe to level the range of his eyesight. “I just wonder how you are going to make me successful,” he thought to himself. “I bet after this, I will be my master's right hand. What a luck that I am the one you bumped into.” His voice is evil and every word is uttered ambitiously. The syringe neared Nyx's arm. Slowly, Angelo sniffles in the air the scent of her blood is being carried by the air to tickle his nostrils. “Delicious.” He licked the corner of his mouth as if he had a taste of her blood. He observes as Nyx's blood fills the vial.After he had taken his desired amount, he repeated the process in Maridelle. “This one got a superb aroma.” His saliva literally drools on the corne

99 BA“Seems like we don't run out of trouble, huh?” Sebastian uttered just how someone who frequently gets himself into trouble would say it. Actually, he is certain. He gets used to it now; the smell of danger, fighting after another fight. He doesn't need more proof that what's behind the door is trouble; the feeling is so fucking familiar. “Holy crap!” He moved as fast as he could blocking the door with the couches and the bed.Friendly knocks were heard. The sound of it does not suggests any danger; however, even though their speculation is not yet confirmed, they don't need it anymore. They got enough clues to make them go in defense mode. “Hi, this is Angelo. I was wondering if I could come in? I brought medicines and foods.” His tone is friendly and as usual. Alpha Lachlan smirked and mouthed, “Confirmed.” He signalled the ladies to stay behind them. What's behind the door is harm. Housekeeping nor any employee's job in a place like this do not require to go as frequent as h
