All Chapters of Aaliyah’s Return : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

The ride back to Shark Fin is pleasant ,Noah keeps entertaining us with the sounds coming from his tablet, while the rest of us try to just lean back and enjoy the ride.When we approach the gates, I take a deep breath in and out, the tension slipping from my shoulders. The sight of the familiar building and manicured lawns is a welcome respite from the tension in the breakfast room earlier. Shark Fin always feels like a stone fortress, a safe nest for humans and wolves alike but today, perhaps because of Amelia’s parting words, I feel as if I am being watched. As the car finally parks kn the driveway , I do my darn best to shake off the weird vibes I am getting at this rate I might need to sage the entire estate ! If my feeling off uneasiness doesn’t let off .Brandon steps out of the limo first, then Desmond and Shawn. They scan the area, and then Dawson and Andrew start walking toward them as if they were summoned. They must have arrived before us, and dropped their families at ho

I wake to the sound of birds chirping on my window sill , I stretch taking it as a nudge from Mother Nature to sage the house before starting Noah’s breakfast. After a quick shower , I dress and sage the entire house moving from to room and opening the windows . When I finish I start making Noahs breakfast then I head back up the stairs to wake him up but surprisingly I meet Noah by his door, already dressed and ready to go.He steps into my arms giving me a tight hug saying softly “Good morning, Mummy.” “Morning, Noah. Did you sleep well?” “Yes, Mummy. Okay, let’s go have some cereal and your Dad will drop you off at school.” We walk down the stairs together and have a quick breakfast , after I walk Noah to the limo and Brandon is already seated inside patiently working on his laptop. I give them both a wave and they drive off. By mid-morning Sandra and Gloria arrive to give me and Amanda a knitting lesson, the first of many I hope. We settle in the living room for our lesson “Aa

Brandons POV The engine purrs to life as I put the key in the ignition and drive out of Shark Fin gates. Amanda is seated with Andrew in the back. Everyone is quiet and restless, hoping we will catch a break this time around. I don’t blame them I am getting sick and tired of the cat-and-mouse games.Dawson is in the passenger seat watching the road as we drive by. Desmond is driving the second SUV with Shawn and a few guards. When we arrive at Noah’s Ark I turn to face Amanda and Andrew.“Amanda, we will be back after the meeting. Stay indoors and dispatch your orders quickly.”“Andrew, make sure no one walks into the store to harass her or hurt her. Don’t let her out of your sight.”Andrew gives me a firm nod. “Yes, Alpha.”Amanda gives me a tight smile. “I am praying luck is on our side and you get exactly what you need.” She opens the door and slides out.“Thank you, Amanda. So am I,” I respond and give her a small wave as she closes the door. We wait until she opens the store and

As I stare out of the kitchen window at the bright rainbow peeking out of the clouds, I am reminded of a quote I once read somewhere: “After the rain comes the sunshine.” I turn away and walk towards Dawn. “Please bring Noah’s lunch bag and a cup of coffee to the dining.” “Yes, Ma’am,” she curtseys. I step out of the kitchen into the dining area, sliding into my chair at the head of the table. Picking up my phone to scroll through I check the time. Noah should be coming down the stairs shortly with Amanda. Dawn places my mug in front of me, and I take a deep sip. Just as I’m placing my mug on the table, Noah walks in. “Well, you are a sight for sore eyes,” I say as he gives me a hug. “Good morning, Mummy.” “Hello, darling. Ask Dawn for some cereal; we need to get going.” “Okay, Mummy,” he says, walking into the kitchen. Then Amanda walks in, dressed for work. “Are you going in today?” I ask. “Yes, Boss. Mr. Desmond said he has a meeting, so I will hitch a ride and come back w

I have a quick bath with my scented oils and I slip into my silk pyjamas. I check my look in my vanity adding a touch of gloss to my lips then I head down the stairs and I meet the men with Amanda and Gabe watching the news. I lean on the doorframe and ask.”Dawson and Andrew went home?”Brandon looks at me before nodding “Yes, I sent them home to their wives. Are you ready to go?” I smile at him “Yes, let’s go.”Desmond gets up and picks up the SUV keys.“I call shotgun!” Shawn says, raising his hands in the air.We all laugh. “You are so dramatic,” I tell him as I hit his biceps.“You know you love it, baby,” he teases me as he , stares deep into my eyes I blush and quickly look away.“Gabe, Amanda don’t get all loved up and forget that Noah is upstairs,” I smirk and give her a wink. Amanda flushes bright red while Gabe’s ears turn pink. Brandon drags me out of the living room, playfully scolding me.“Such a naughty queen. You deserve to be spanked,” he whispers deliciously into my
