Next Morning~~ Kenneth's Mansion me*Valerie *It was 6am and I was almost done packing my things. The time change here is different from the Pack's, so it would be better to leave very early to meet up before night falls at Moon Stone Pack."Mommy!" I heard suddenly and I look back quickly to see Jaden's beautiful morning face and Jordan's smile right behind him.I made to touch them, hoping they are really here and everything that happened was a mere nightmare but I was wrong. Their lingering images vanished almost immediately.I dabbed at my tears, turning back to continue packing my bags.I was done in ten minutes and I walked downstairs, waiting for Kenneth to come downstairs but then I heard some sounds in the kitchen.I went there in a hurry, only to see Kenneth fixing something for breakfast. You can't face your enemies without strength" he said, smiling as I gaped at him.He has always made sure I didn't skip any meals. What more could I ask for in a man? He has it all! A sho

*Adam*We finally arrived at my office after what seemed like hours of walking with my gaze only fixed at Valerie. I couldn’t keep my eyes off her the whole time, even though it isn’t right and I still couldn’t ignore the feeling of guilt that settled in my guts with the way I treated her during the last days we were together eight years ago.But then, I had no choice. I didn’t mean to be so heartless towards her and I was too heartbroken when she had refused to stayed back in the pack house under the guise of being my mistress. That particular day was a day that haunted me ever since then and even till date. If only she knew how much I wanted to protect her. If only I wasn’t left with difficult choices. If only I wasn’t a coward! Then maybe we could still be friends…or even lovers.“That’s impossible now” a voice reminded and I agreed wryly as my gaze settled on the couple’s entwined hands. They seemed really close and it makes my blood boil but what choice do I have? I’m not even i

*Valerie*Next morning~~Thanks to Kenneth, I could take a comfortable nap, even if I couldn't sleep too peacefully without knowing the welfare of my kids. I forced my eyes open, stretching my hands to reach out for Kenneth but he wasn't on the bed anymore."Did I wake up too late?" I asked no one in particular as I willed myself to leave the bed, but then I sighted Kenneth's retreating figure as he paced round the room.Worry and fear gripped at the thought that there might be gruesome news from the kidnappers."What's wrong, Kenneth?" I asked, showing up behind him. He paused, but didn't face me"What's going on? What happened?" I asked again with a shaky voice, but there was still no answer."Kenneth, just spill it, will you?" I said brokenly, my tears threatening to fall anytime soon. This suspense was making it all so obvious already."Ken? What the hell is going on?" I yelled, this time with my tears flowing in rhythm but his answer broke me even further."Nothing much is going

VALERIEI sniffed in once, twice, thrice as I walked out of his study. I didn't have any idea what to feel, how to feel or what to do and Adam wasn't giving me a chance to think properly too.I was caught up in a spot, stuck and with no leads on how to act. Maybe I shouldn't have come here after all. Maybe it was a mistake I made for coming back to Moonstone pack.Tears welled up in my eyes as frustration filled me to the brink. All I'm ever wishing for right now is to find my kids, how can that simple request be so hard right now? To think... I'm even stuck in some foolish emotional thoughts that are making me even angrier.I hate the fact that I'm the one who needs help the most, but I'm the most useless and helpless one here. I needed the help of those three to find Jaden and Jordan but I'm here finding it hard to be on good terms.Kenneth isn't helping things either. I'm just sick and tired of being stuck in the middle."Kenneth!" I called weakly, strolling round every possible pl

Valerie's POV.I inhaled deeply as I stepped through the doors, the smell of home lingered in my nostrils. I had to get out of that house, I was tired of sitting still while my sons, my poor babies were missing. It felt like my world was crashing around me. I needed to get them back and I was going to do whatever it took to get them back. I know Adam said he had his best men looking for them but it's not enough, there has to be more that could be done.Walking around the town, most of the structures were still the same. The games stores where Analisse, Adam, Rendall and I would run after school making bets on who would be the first to get there, the stores my mom and I would go grocery shopping, the park where my dad and I would go strolling on the weekends. This was my home, before Adam banished me and as hard as it may seem I miss it in some twisted way. I could still remember when we were all friends Analisse, Adam, Rendall and I. We were the thickest bunch, always together, you co
