I wanted to know what kind of mess I had stepped into. “A long time ago, my father had a brother named Stanley Cater,” Duke began. He picked up his glass but did not drink yet. “Stanley was impulsive. He was the kind of man who acted before he thought. He fell hard for a woman named Hana. According to him, she was beautiful and ambitious. In reality, she was just ruthless.” I watched Duke’s face. The charm he had used earlier was gone. He looked tired.

Jasper nodded and pulled the pillion seat up to retrieve the hea

It was subtle, slowly but sure reeling them in, before finally going for the kill. I did a quick background check on her name, and Garry was doing a more extensive one for me at the office.

We can even enter eternal slumber if we want to. "But that's not always the case. Sometimes, one can enter a force eternal sleep if they committed a crime that is too grave beyond comprehension and the risk being known to the world is high or they took offense to the humankind that we're supposed to take care." -Cassielle Elise D.

I touched a sensitive part of him and hoped to poke something nasty but once again, he swerved me. "I am not weak but if that happens, I know Duke got my back," he confidently said. Then be continued, "most people do not know that Duke has Alpha blood. His father was an Alpha my father killed during one of the wars. If a war broke out and I transferred my authority to him, he would be just as strong as I am but with all this knowledge, he still remains loyal to me."

He got up and opened the door, “Make sure to finish your breakfast.” he said before leaving. The Duke left the mansion and headed to the village. He wanted to go to the library to buy a book about the Dark Creatures. He was planning to give it to Jimmy so that he understands how much danger they are and why he can never beat them.

Number four on last year's Top Twelve most eligible bachelor list as voted by the city of Houston, behind one baseball player and two football players. Single, loves his family, volunteers at a local children's soccer league and all around nice guy." I stare at her, mouth gaping. "I can't believe you know all that." "I can't believe you don't," Sue says. "I didn't know about his volunteer work, but even I bought one of those sexy calendars they put together from the guys on that list." I cock my head at her.
