Ethan It took a while for Joye to get to the designated location. Knowing her, she probably obeyed my every instruction, and there was nobody trailing her at the moment. She had just called minutes ago, and currently, I was driving to go and pick her up. I had intended to have a henchman pick her from the spot, but I couldn't risk losing such a valuable asset to somebody who knew nothing of her worth. It was a twenty-minute drive from where I had lodged the previous day to the designated spot where Joye was being held hostage on my behalf. I could already imagine the surprise on her face when she discovered that the people who were holding her hostage were people who referred to her as Queen daily. Everything was possible with money. A few cash here and there, and even the most loyal people would turn enemies. Things hadn't been going the way I expected, but after now I was certain my condition would change. All I needed to do was rekindle my lost mating bond with Joye, and I was c

EthanI glared at her, my blood boiling as I watched her sleep so peacefully even after denying me my one wish. Despite all the punishment I gave her for denying my orders. I knew that the longer she stayed missing, the more the heat of the search got stronger. Very soon somebody would put two and two together and fingers would be pointed. It was already bad enough that Kaelan was calling the pack and demanding if Joye was here with us. If he decides to visit on his own, he might sniff something out. "What is wrong with you Joye?!" I screamed out. My loud voice had her jolting up from where she laid, however when she opened her eyes and saw me, she immediately swung the plate close by at my face. I was quick to evade before immediately rushing forward to restrain her. It's been two days since I had her down here, but she was yet to give in. I've starved her and all, but nothing seemed to break her spirit. I could force myself on her, but I decided not to, according to the informati

JoyeMy vision had blurred after Ethan had struck me a second time, the last thing I remembered before blacking out was a figure entering the lair and knocking Ethan out. I had barely woken up when I realized that I wasn't lying on the floor like always. The mattress wasn't as good as the one back at the mansion, but it was definitely an upgrade from sleeping on the floor. I shot up from the place of comfort, but was promptly restrained by a stronger figure. His shadow loomed over me like the darkness, and one clear look at him told me he was a knight, a strong one at that. "Your wounds aren't healed yet, you still need rest." It was surprising how someone as big as this guard could still have such a nice and soothing voice. It was only when he mentioned my wounds that I realized that I was bound up in bandages. "I don't care if they're healed or not, just let me out of here." I argued, but he wasn't listening. He looked like he wanted to let me go, but it was obvious he was follow

JoyeA week had passed since Ethan was apprehended and tossed in jail, and I had been recovering quite well. I felt anew after the entire incident, and I prayed it never repeated itself. Unlike before, Kaelan has been a lot more involved in my life these past days. His eyes weren't as bright as they used to months ago, but his presence and involvement in my life made that little detail negligible.Aurelia had visited the past two days and I really felt comfortable with her visits and friendship. Although Kaelan still didn't trust her and termed all her kind gestures as a clever charade cooked up to win me over now that Ethan was gone, I didn't mind him. To me Aurelia had changed, she was the only reason Ethan has even been apprehended. No wife was desperate enough to leave their own husband over some stupid act.Olivia had visited too, however Kaelan forbade her from ever coming to meet me. I had no idea why, and nobody had decided to enlighten me about it yet. I was kinda happy Kaela

Joye It's been a month now since the incident with Ethan and two weeks since the trip with Kaelan to the waterfall, and so far things were going pretty well for me and Kaelan.Aside from the recent developments in our relationship and work, there were also recent happenings in my health. For three days now I have been troubled with constant headaches, and an overwhelming feeling of nausea. It came and went randomly, so I didn't give it much thought, but today it worsened.I was first to wake, and I sat up by the bedside, Kaelan laid half naked beside me. He was fast asleep, but the stabbing pain in my head wouldn't let me get a good night's rest.Staggering towards the refrigerator, I took out a bottle of water to help flush down the pain relievers I was about to take. I hadn't told Kaelan about the headaches, I didn't consider them serious, and I didn't want to get him troubled over something so trivial. I winced as the throbbing in my head returned, and the pain seemed to have w
