Lahat ng Kabanata ng Aaliyah’s Return : Kabanata 241 - Kabanata 250

The door clicks shut behind us as we step into the Presidential Suite.Shawn exhales deeply “ I for one am so glad that is over. I got tired of smiling at one point.”Desmond places his jacket on the coat rack smirking . “Were you smiling? That was more like a grimace you had throughout the night.”“Oh well, it is what it is,” Shawn says, sinking into a chair. I shake my head at them as I take off my shoes and sink my feet into the shag rug.Brandon looks at me , concern on his face “How are you?”I smile at him always worrying about me … such a protector . “I am okay , just very tired.” Andrew and George cross over to check all the windows again before coming to report to Brandon.“It’s clear, boss. We will be next door if you need anything.”Brandon nods. “Okay, good night.” They both say good night to us and off to the extra bedroom, closing the door shut behind them.I open my clutch and get my phone. “I want to call Gabe,” I announce before dialing.“Sure,” Desmond s

I wrap my body in a soft terry robe. My hair is still wet from my bath as I walk into the dining room, my tummy rumbling. I take in the scene, leaning on the doorframe a bit. Brandon is dressed in a casual V-neck fitted T-shirt and grey joggers, having a cup of tea. Shawn is seated on his right, eating a plate of scrambled eggs and toast, while Desmond has his back to us, answering a call by the window.They’re all dressed similarly, in varying colours. All hunks. All sculpted by the goddess to wreck me. A tingle of excitement runs down my spine as I fake a cough to announce myself, then walk toward the dining table, sliding into the chair on Brandon’s right.“I am awake,” I announce, eyeing the spread on the table with lust as I start fetching some food.Brandon laughs. “Okay, Queen, we see you. Hungry much?” he teases.I laugh back. “After the exercise you all put me through, who wouldn’t be hungry?” I pop a grape into my mouth and it bursts with flavour. “Oommph, delicious,” I moan

Brandon’s POV The ride to the onyx park is tense. I sit back in my chair trying and failling to calm my raging wolf. Staring out the window as the trees blur by. Desmond drives not trusting me behind the vehicle and I agree with him I am just not in the right frame of mind as Shawn mutters under his breath Scrolling through his emails on his tablet. “We all knew the transfer was a bloody mistake” Desmond says quietly as I grunt in response remembering Marjorie’s smug fsace as she taunted Aaliyah at the Bbq, And yet my father still put friendship ahead of our lunas safety I growl clenching my hands into a tight fist to prevent my claws from extending. “They were all in it it was orchestrated that's why they insisted on house arrest ,And your parents fell hook line and sinker” Shawn mutters Something dark starts to unfurl in my chest as I rub my chest absentmindedly thinking about Aaliyah and hoping her thoughts would tame the raging wolf. Yeah not working. Desmond glances at

Brandon’s POVIt takes us a while to arrive at the pack house on foot, even though it’s only a few metres away, as pack members keep stopping us to greet me and the men. Oh, for goddess’ sake. When the hundredth person stops us, I wear a fake smile and quickly walk into the pack house, asking the first guard on duty, “Where is my Beta?”“He is in the common room, Alpha.” I nod and lead the way as we turn the first right and walk into the common room, where Dawson seems to be at the tail end of addressing our top guards.“She is dangerous, and as you well know ,on house arrest. Approach and subdue, but don’t kill. Use the knife filled with silver nitrate to weaken her. Remember, don’t cut any vital organs. You are dismissed.”“Yes, sir.” They all turn around to leave and see me standing by the entrance. They stand at attention.“You are excused. Time is of the essence. I want her found tonight,” I growl, my power leaking just a bit.“Yes, Alpha,” they reply in unison, filing out o

Aaliyah’s POVThe house is alive again. The kids’ laughter fills up the living room as Noah, Asher, and Ruger run in circles around the sofa. Thank the goddess for kids and mayhem the best way to banish all your worries in the world. “Careful, Noah! Don’t break my Chinese vase.” I lean back on the sofa, facing Sandra and Gloria.“Boys, it’s enough, you heard the Luna,” Sandra adds, shaking her head.Gloria giggles. “Boys will be boys.”“Always,” Amanda adds. Noah giggles, finding something else to argue about. He settles on the rug holding the remote. “I call first dibs.”I laugh at him. “Noah, you should all take turns in choosing, okay?”“Okay, Mummy.” They settle down finally and start watching a cartoon as Gloria rolls her eyes. “They never get tired of watching the same old superhero movies.”Amanda chuckles. “Let them be. It’s been a bit quiet here, I’ve missed them all being together like this.”“Seriously,” she is right. I glance around at everyone. “I didn’t realise how
