*DAMON* I looked at Zayden, not wanting to believe what the guy just said. Then I thought, maybe I imagined it or misheard it. “Zayden, did you hear that?” Zayden seemed less surprised than me. He acted calmly, like he already knew what was going on. “Relax, Achilles. He might be lying,” he said, trying to calm me down. He knew I might not be able to handle the information right then, so he tried to distract me. I turned to the guy, Nolan, again. “Did she also tell you to kidnap Sarah, my assistant?” “I never got instructions like that,” Nolan replied innocently. But despite his innocent appearance, I couldn’t fully trust him. I searched his face and realized he was telling the truth. I was starting to feel confused. “On March 14th of this year, where were you?” I asked. He seemed to think for a moment before answering, “I was out of state.” “Don’t try to deceive me,” I growled. Was he playing mind games with me? “He’s telling the truth,” Zayden said calmly, observing the in

ALPHA DAMON'S POVIt was a dream. By the time I woke up, I was already sweating profusely. What could her disappearance mean? I was very troubled at heart. The way I was brought made me pay attention to the most little details, even dreams.Just then I heard the chirping of the birds. Was it morning already? I paid attention to my environment and realized it was already morning and the rainstorm had stopped.I stepped out of my room and as expected, Zayden was up. I could perceive the sweet aroma of meat stew and the warmth that oozed from the living room."Good morning." My cousin greeted, beating me to it. He must've sensed my presence because his back was turned against me."Morning." I mumbled as I moved closer. My sixth senses sharpened as I inhaled the aroma of the stew again. "Snakes?""Yeah. I caught it earlier this morning." He replied. I was disgusted immediately. "I'll pass. I don't eat snakes." "Then you have to prepare something by yourself." He said nonchalantly."Tha

SARAH'S POV As he kissed me, he gently touched my waist, making me feel things I've never felt before. I instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck, wanting more of him without really thinking about it. I was losing control, wasn't I? I let out a moan as our tongues intertwined. It was surprising even to me how quickly I went from being angry with him to being in his arms without hesitation. Was this love? Obsession? Or just desire? The kiss continued for a while, growing more intense with each passing moment, making me feel a rush of excitement. I could tell that he was feeling the same way too. He stopped kissing my lips and instead started kissing my neckline, then my ear, and finally my neck. "Damon," I softly moaned, feeling impulsive. His body felt warm against mine, but then he suddenly stopped. He looked into my eyes with no emotion and said, "Get some rest, Beauty." Then he left without giving me a chance to respond. I watched him leave my room and sat on the edge of

*DAMON*After eating, my senses fully came back and I started to make strategic plans in my head. I put down my plans in my business notepad like I had always done and then requested the presence of the developing team leader.I told him to sit as soon as he came in."Mr Blake, which country did you say the engineer in charge of the new technology product is?" I inquired."He is in the Netherlands sir. Why do you ask?""I'll travel down there to meet him. Get in action with the PR and the advertising team once I give you a go ahead. Get them to change the floor plan for the launch site.""But sir--" He was obviously going to object and I cut him off abruptly."Would you just follow instructions without asking questions?""I'm sorry sir." He apologized immediately.I left the company immediately after and headed to Astrid's place. I hadn't seen Charles since. He was healing quite well. His injury looked better then. He wasn't fully human so speedy recovery was a given, even with Astri

ALPHA DAMON’S POV*The morning came so fast. And we were up early also, to prepare for the meeting with Karl Wagner. No. Better put, we were going to meet him wherever he was. And I would force an audience with him.After having a brief breakfast at the hotel, we left for our destination. I had a good eye for clothes. The official outfit I got for Sarah fitted her perfectly and looked good on her. It was a crisp white button-down blouse that was tucked into a high-waist, knee-length pencil skirt in cobalt blue. Then she wore a pair of silver stud earrings with white cover heels.I couldn't help but to stare at her frequently. She packed her hair into a ponytail, revealing her pretty neckline.We left the hotel in one of the hotel cars. It was among the benefits that came with lodging at the hotel. The hotel was the best in the Netherlands, so that much was expected.We headed to the second-best hotel in the country. I was going to catch him unaware.On getting there, we were denied a
