MIABy the time we finished running all the errands, we had one hour left. The sun was already down and the night had started to set in. We had to do everything on double time but the great news was that we got there in time. It was safe to say that Kaan had gone back to the room and hadn't seen up because he had been blowing up Xavier's phone for hours and no one was picking up. “You know we're going to have to eventually pick up because he will send an army to come look for us. What do we do?” “Ugh, we can deal with that later. For now, we have somewhere to be.”The parking lot was almost already filled to the brim and we had a hard time finding where to park. We had to go over to the back and only because he was a player did they allow him to park there. As soon as we stepped out, the noise hit me. The loud music and the people sweeping across the floor, trying to get inside. “Hey, I need to get i

MIAI figured maybe my mind was playing tricks on me. I mean, there was a fully packed stadium so maybe there was someone else named Mia and that's what I was hearing. I tried to focus my mind back on the game but for the life of me, I couldn't. There was this feeling in the gut of my stomach that I couldn't push away. I didn't know what it was yet but I didn't like it.Even when Xavier's team was being called out, I struggled to focus and could only smile when I saw him jog out. His hand was still wrapped but this time around, he had rewrapped it in tape so it didn't look like it was injured. All I could hope was that someone wouldn't hit him on that hand or something because then, it would be game over. The team went over to their side, formed a huddle and spoke to their coach. I stared at his back, maybe it was my eyes or the way he stood but I could tell something was wrong with him. His form wasn't straight and it seemed like

MiA“Kaan, you're here.”It was like he had snapped me out of a daze I didn't know I'd been in. “Yeah, I am. Where were you going? I'd been calling your name since you were on the line but you just kept going.” The hall way down was empty so there was definitely no one there. “Kaan, there's something wrong. I'm seeing things and I'm hearing things. I don't think the accident today was normal. There's something wrong and as if that's not enough, Xavier's leg is injured. He's been limping on the court and I don't know why he didn't tell me when we left the house. How will he play like this? I would have been able to heal his leg but I had to touch him and there's no way I can do that because the game has already started.”Before he could reply, the girls walked up to us and interrupted. “Um, sorry but Mia, we got what we wanted already. Are you coming back in with us?” I looked at Kaan who looked confused about what was going on. “I'll meet up with you inside. I'm still speaking

MIA It didn't take very long for me to do what I wanted to do. We were working with time. It was only an amount of time before they found out that the fire wasn't real and the games would start again. “Xavier, you have to be careful out there. Something is wrong, someone is here. Someone powerful. I can feel them, I can hear them but I know that there's something wrong. I told Kaan that the accident wasn't normal. Try not to get hit or into any trouble. Until I know what we're dealing with, we're both not safe.” He looked worried and I could tell that he was about to say something but I stopped him immediately. “Don't, I can see it all over your face. It's okay, I can handle it. You don't have to worry about me. Just focus on your game and I'll deal with whatever is going on. Don't make it obvious, don't look over at me too much. If anything is wrong, I'll contact Kaan. If you search for me and you don't find me, just know I was following a lead. Most of all, make sure you

MIATen minutes left on the clock and they began to do wonders. Their feet were on fire, sprinting across the court, dodging and maneuvering, dunking the ball like no man's business. They made it seem so easy but I knew it was the pressure. Scream after scream came from our side. The other side had gone silent long ago, seeing how our points were increasing with just five minutes left on the clock. The gap was too much to fill except they had a plan that had never been seen before, there was no way they could win. Even if our home team didn't score any more goals, the Grizzlies would never meet up. At that point, I knew I could rest. Yes, I had to say a spell and get mixed with things but it was very much needed. I couldn't bear to look at Xavier's face when he came home after being defeated. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Kaan was distracted by something on his phone so he didn't understand why such a loud scream erupted through the stadium. “We won! We won!” Even tho

MIAIt was only after I'd woken up that I remembered the words I heard at the game. The words went on and on in my head like it was on replay. I couldn’t bring myself to forget them because I knew they were important. There was something about the book of spells they didn't want me to find out. Perhaps the kind of power that it carried, some secret it hid. Even though they didn't know why they didn't want me to go after it, the thought of me yielding that book was enough to put them in a frenzy. Hence the main reason why I couldn't stop looking for it. Even though I didn't know exactly where to look, the search wouldn't stop. That aside, what they said about Elara was another thing. What did that mean? I couldn't understand what they meant by that. I hadn't even seen her in a very long time so I didn't exactly know. She wasn't who she said she was? Maybe they were lying. They just wanted me to suspect her and keep an eye on her when I should be doing something else. It was a ta

MIA“Sometimes, I wonder where I went wrong with you.”He paused, looking Xavier up and down and trying to give that look that once intimidated him a long time ago. But not anymore. He had grown past that and I was so glad. “No, I didn't go wrong. You're the one who decided to act like a bastard and not the son of an Alpha that you are. You decided to team up with everybody I hate and work against me. I tried to save you, Xavier. I really did but you're not helping me. As if that was not enough, you played me to my face, you played me so well, I didn't know I was getting played. I disowned you and you haven't even come crawling to beg for forgiveness.”Xavier interrupted him. “Beg you? For what? So you'll gloat and boast that I came back to you? I don't need you and I'm proving that by staying away from you, I didn't want to have anything to do with you. Everything that you think you have is now yours and you're free to give it to who you want to, I don't care anymore. Just stay awa

MIAMarcus was waiting for a response. I didn't mean to be heard but I had been and now, I had to say something. I didn't have to, I just had to. Everyone was tired of his bullshit. “Yes, I do. The only reason you came here was because you heard Xerxes was dying and not to see your long lost brother. It's pathetic. You wave your wealth around like it's a flag and you lust after the little others people have. Rather than hand the Volkov wealth over to you, Xerxes would rather watch it burn to the ground or hand it to Xavier. Yes, that same child that you disowned and said was no good because he would never have your wealth would have inherited the very same reason you killed your father. You will never get a strand of hair from this family. And you want to say William is violent? If he's violent, you're berserk. If I hadn't known Xavier, Xerxes and Kaan, I would have said that madness ran in the veins of the Volkov men but that wouldn't be true because I've met these men and I know wh

MIA“You're right to say I never hit you or thought or raised my hand on you. That's how much I still loved you even after what you did. I should have sent men after you to kill you just like the men in the family wanted me to but you were my elder brother, the only one I had. I could bring myself to do it. I let you be and I let you grow to where you are today. But never in all my years did I stand by and watch a man hit a woman. If you weren't my blood, you'd be dead with your brain scattered on the floor. But the next time you want to do it, remember that Mia saved my life and she's the reason I'm alive and I won't hesitate to take a life for her. For the first time in thirty years, you call me your brother and acknowledge that indeed, we have a blood relation. It's just marvelling that you would wait until.now to do it but I'll take what I can get. Don't lay your hands on my family again.”He frowned deeply, looking at me first. “Family? Your family? Xavier is not even married to

MIA“Where did you say you were going again?” For the three thousandth time, I sighed, knowing that Elara was going to make me repeat the same thing I'd told her over and over since she came here..It's not like she hadn't heard me all the other times, it's just that she wanted me.to keep telling her, hoping that I'd hear myself and correct my statement.“I know what you're doing, Elara and it's not going to work. I'm going regardless of whether you approve or not.”“Listen, I'm not trying to be a stump in your plan-”“Then how come you already are?”She gave me a look and I went back to packing my bags. “I'm just trying to be the voice of reason in everything and I'm hoping that I can persuade you not to go there. Xavier can bring your things back for you if that's what you're worried about, you don't have to do all that yourself.”I stopped moving and sighed, turning around to look her dead in the eye. “Elara, you and I have gone through it all so I don't think there is anything
