Schuyler's P. O. V.As I walked back towards Ezekiel, I could feel the eyes of everyone around me. And just when I'm almost near him, I felt something bump in my legs and silence filled the room after some women gasped.I stopped and slowly looked down at my legs. There was a stain from a chocolate cake in my dress with a hand print of a little kid who's sitting on the floor right now and looking up at me with tearful eyes.I wanted to wipe my dress first and look more presentable in everyone's eyes, but I can't just ignore the child in front of me. The innocence in her eyes held me captive as I slowly kneel in front of her with a gentle look on my face."Hey, there.." I whispered to her before tucking her hair behind her ear. "I'm sorry, I didn't see you. Would you mind if I help you to get up?"I offered my hand to her, but she only looked at me with fear in her eyes. From behind her, I saw when Ezekiel started walking towards our direction. I helped the kid up just the same time a

Schuyler's P. O. V."Are we going out?" I carefully asked Ezekiel while looking outside of the car's window. "I don't think we should—"My words were cut off as I heard a door opening and just as I turned my gaze to look at his side, Ezekiel closed the door behind him. I was about to ask Hunter when he quickly exited the car too and followed behind Ezekiel.They stopped in front of the car and were staring at something from below the bridge. As curiosity hit me, I slowly opened the door to follow them outside.Hunter took a step back as he distanced himself after seeing me approaching them. I stood beside Ezekiel and watched him with a dangerous look in his eyes. He looked so serious as he probably thought of something while looking somewhere. I slowly followed what he was looking at and I gasped loudly as I saw some lycans from below and in the middle of a field near a small lake, they were dragging unconscious people to the side by holding them in their feet.By the looks of it, it

Schuyler's P. O. V."Ezekiel." I held him by his wrist just as he was about to approach them. I shake my head at him after he averted his attention on me. "Just.. Let them go already." I pleadingly said. "It's not like they can do anything—Besides, you have their daughter, right? And even if you won't tell me if she's already dead or whatever you did to her, it won't be worth it if you will pay them more time for a mere threat, right?"Mere threat, Schuyler? What am I even saying? Knowing their family, they won't take me and my parents lightly, but I just don't want to add more fuel to the fire."Not worth it, you say?" Ezekiel asked with no emotion in his face. "Mere or not, it's a threat, Schuyler. Look around us," he motioned his head to the side. "Killers are everywhere. Mere or a serious one, a threat will always be meaningful in these people." He clenched his jaw and avoided his eyes on me. "And no one should ever dare threaten my wife under my watch."Ezekiel continues walking

Schuyler's P. O. V."You live here?" Irina asked in awe as the car approached the entrance door. I glanced at her and saw her gaping while looking everywhere around us. Her eyes were twinkling with excitement before she glanced at me."Seriously? This is a freaking palace, Sky!" She exclaimed while smiling brightly at me. "You should've told me sooner so I could prepare a gift for your husband!"I frowned at her after hearing what she said, "A what now?"She laughed playfully, "Just kidding! But seriously, who is Ezekiel Riego and how the hell is he so rich?"I thinned my lips before smiling at her, "He's a… businessman."I wonder how Ezekiel would react if he heard my answer. A small smile appeared in my lips before the car stopped and Hunter opened the door for me.What's he doing here? I thought he had a job to do today. Nevermind! I exited the car and waited for Irina to come out. She raised her brow at Hunter who showed no emotion to her before she went to my side."Tour me arou

Schuyler's P. O. V.I couldn't explain why I hate to see Ezekiel today and every time he would show up around me, my hatred would just intensify. Irina had already left even before I woke up and I didn't get the chance to even bid her goodbye. Ezekiel didn't wake me up as well!I was watching the view from outside the car and noticed that we're in the city. It's not far from the mansion, but I feel like it took us forever to get here. And with the fact that there was a deafening silence in the car for the whole ride.Hunter was the first one who got out of the car, leaving me with Ezekiel. I glanced around us and noticed that we stopped in front of a huge and well guarded building. The parking space for the people is wider than the road, but from the entrance, only few people can get in after showing their access card to the guards who would analyze it.I've never been to this place, but my pride is overwhelming that I did not dare to ask Ezekiel. I felt when a hand caressed my thigh
