Elena’s pov.The time of reckoning finally came as Horace and I put on black clothes like some petty criminals. But it was fun, we laughed through the journey to Wilmington's household. The parents.When we got to the house, we snuck in through an open entrance, only known to family.Because of the family's bad business dealings, they were never really big on cameras around the house.I always disliked the idea when I was still with Michael, but now it seemed that the only good thing the family had ever done for me.I dropped the paper off in a corner. I knew they would find it quickly. But also made sure it was a place I could see the reaction on her face if she opened it outside.And knowing Becca, that was exactly what she was bound to do because I made sure to wrap up the document in the most flamboyant, unrealistic manner.Something to pique her interest immediately, she set her eyes on them.Then I picked up a storm, threw it onto her door, before running off to the side to hide.

Horace POVThe four of us. Lena, Logan, and Monica sat in the living room, all shocked at the turn of events.“How the hell could this have happened? We worked so hard, I worked so hard to get to them.”“I know, it’s crazy. They keep following them as soon as we find them.” She turned to me, “Who the hell could be doing this?“ She asked rhetorically.I sat there, speechless. Trying to grasp a sense of the situation.“I was to meet with the fake doctors later that evening. It was a private thing no one knew about. So when I got a call from Logan and he told me about one of the doctors being murdered, again. And the other disappearing out of reach, I was shocked.“Someone sure is working hard behind the scenes trying to clean up his slate. We need to take this more seriously. Put all our time into it.” Elena said.“You’re right.“ I turned to Logan and Monica. “You two, dig up whatever you can find. You know… anything. Just keep trying, and hopefully we will be able to hold onto one of t

Horace’s POVWe searched around the mansion for what felt like forever, but still couldn’t find her.The blood on the window made it worse, and when I tried to call her phone, I realized it was sitting on her bed.Had someone come in through the window to take her? The thought paralyzed me“Alpha, we can’t find her. We’ve searched everywhere.” One of the Guards said.“Did you notice anything suspicious today in the mansion? Anyone suspicious looking coming today?“He shook his head. “No alpha, I’m sure no one suspicious or different came into the mansion today.”“So how do I explain the blood on the window?”“We’re still investigating how it came to be. I’m sure we’d have the answers soon, Alpha.”“Fine. Make it as quick as possible. And I want everyone, and I mean everyone, in the mansion looking for her. Right now!“ I snapped.“Yes, Alpha.” He bowed and walked awayI hit my head on the wall repeatedly, unable to shake the guilt that overwhelmed me. It was my fault; this happened bec

Ashanti’s pov.“M-m-Michael, please,” I muttered, hitting his hand repeatedly.But he didn’t stop. Instead, his hands wrapped tighter, and my vision grew darker until everything became an empty nothingness.“Michael, that’s enough. If you kill her, you’re going to go to jail. She’s not worth it. We can deal with this disgusting wench in other ways.” Becca called out as she and her husband managed to pull Michael off me.I couldn’t believe it was me, Becca was using such insulting words.But I was at least thankful that she managed to get Michael off me. If not, I was certain he would’ve killed me on the spot.I coughed repeatedly, hitting my hand on my chest with urgency as I tried to catch my breath.“You lied to me, you bitch.” Michael barked insults at me.When I finally managed to calm down, I immediately stood up.“No, this is a lie. This has to be some kind of setup. I swear by the moon goddess, Cal, I didn’t lie to you. You know, you know I will never do that. I’m really pregna

Ashanti’s POV“How the hell did they find out, Peter? I did everything you told me to do.” I barked at my doctor friend.“The morning sickness?”“Faked it perfectly. To the last act.”“The sleepiness and aching feet?”“I did everything, Peter. Everything you asked me to do. Yet someone suspected me enough to get a test on me. I do not even know how that happened.” I yelled.“Hmmm. Then that’s quite surprising.”“Yeah, tell me about it. I’ve lost everything, Peter. Every single thing I worked hard for.”He sighed.“You are sighing? This isn’t the time for that.”“Oh dear Moon goddess, come on, Ashanti. I’m just trying to think, okay. To understand how this happened, we need to think of various possibilities.”“Okay. Possibilities like what? Because I sure as hell did everything as you told me to.”He rubbed his hand through his hair.“Well, what kind of food did you eat?”“Well, the kind you told me to eat. I ate lots of fruits, and I avoided alcohol. Where is this going, Peter?”“And
