Chapter 58
“Please don’t kill me, I am sorry, please.” Nicole pleaded tearfully as she looked around but could not see anything. Little did she know that she was blindfolded.
She heard the door creaked open and felt someone enter the room.
“Who… Who is there?” She asked.
“Kill you?” The voice said.
“Do you think your death is enough for the pain you caused me?” The voice asked.
“Unfold her eyes.” The voice ordered.
They went towards her and took off the blindfold.
She squinted her eyes open and tried adjusting to the bright light only to see that she was in place like a cell.
She looked around and saw no other than her rejected mate, Mark.
“You…” She trailed off feeling scared.
Mark smirked seeing her scared face.
“Do you think I am as wicked and callous as you are.” He said.
“You enslaved yourself in that pack, you forced yourself on him. The funniest part is that he does not and did not even love you even after killing his mate.” He said.
Mark had a friend over in Damien’s pack. This friend of his tells him everything that went on in her life there at Damien ‘s pack. Actually, what he intended to do was put her through pain but then his mate convinced him into helping her instead.
“To them you are nothing compared to his mate that you murdered.” He said.
His friend was part of the men they had asked to throw Ciara into the water.
“You know those time when you guys came for the meeting of Alphas, I noticed how he cared for you and how he respected you.” He said with a hint of sacarsm.
At this time, Nicole was already crying.
“You were not free or rather you were free but you could not leave.” He said.
“I brought you here before it is too late and also to heal.” He said.
“Anabelle..” He called out.
“Yes, darling.” A feminine voice replied as she entered the cell.
“Take her into the bedroom and give her new clothes. Don’t forget to give her food.” He said leaving them.
“Come Darling.” Anabelle said and helped Nicole up.
They went into a room. Anabelle ran a bath for Nicole and left.
“Come downstairs when you are done.” She said before leaving.

Nicole changed her clothes and packed her hair into a ponytail.
She went downstairs to see the pack members; some were laughing while some were chatting and some were playing. A smile crept on her face. The happy energy that these people unknowingly gave off made her wished she had not done everything she did.
Then it struck her. Regret. She regretted her actions.
A lone tear slipped down her face and she dabbed it off with the back of her palm.
She looked around and saw Anabelle talking to a girl and a boy. She went over to her.
“Hi.” Nicole said.
“Oh.. It is you.” Anabelle said and looked up to her.
Nicole looked down to see a complete replica of Mark and Anabelle.
“They are our kids and they are also twins.” Anabelle said when she saw that Nicole was staring at them.
“How are you doing, little cuties?” Nicole asked.
“Fine and you?” They chorused.
“I’m good.” She said.
“Okay, kids. Go and play with your colleagues.” Anabelle said and dismissed them.
“Bye.”
“Nicole, come with me.” Anabelle said.

After a week, Damien and Ciara went back to the pack house.
The car stopped right in front of the pack house.
“We have arrived, sir.” The driver said.
They looked at each other and stepped out of the car.
Ciara inhaled the air and sighed. How much she missed it. She looked around and saw that the place had already changed.
“I am so happy to be back.” She said and smiled at Damien.
“Alpha.” Hudson’s voice echoed as soon as they went inside.
As he got down with his mate, his eyes went straight to the lady beside Damien. His eyes almost bulged out out of their sockets.
“Who is she?” He asked.
“Ciara.” Damien said and looked at him.
“Impossible… She… She… You… Ciara.” He said suddenly choking on his spit.
His mate rubbed his back gently and Damien smirked.
“You are alive.” Hudson said finally and ran to engulf her in a tight hug.
“Yes, I am.” She said.
“Do you know how scared Jace was when he….?” He trailed off and hugged her even tighter.
“Stop sounding like my elder brother.” She said and Hudson smiled.
They heard some people clear their throats behind them.
They pulled apart and looked at them.
“Oh, by the way, this is my mate, Riya.” Hudson announced.
“Mate?” Damien asked shocked.
“When?” He asked again.
“She transgressed into our pack lands and we met.” He simply said and smiled at her.
She returned with little of hers.
“Finally, I have someone to chat with, not with a boring person like Nicole.” Riya stated before she realised what she said. She clamped her mouth shut.
“I am sorry.” She apologised.
“It’s nothing, I know she is not here.” Damien said and Hudson’s mouth was left agape.
“Close it up before a fly find it’s way in.” Damien said and looked at Hudson.
He just smiled.
“Come, let us have some lunch, I prepared it myself.” Riya said boasting about her culinary skills.
They all smiled at her.

“Gosh, I’m so tired.” Ciara said while yawning.
“How can you be tired when I have not started?” Damien asked seductively as he wrapped his hands around her.
She smiled and turned to him.
He caught her lips into his and started kissing her.
They soon landed on the bed.
Drrr! Drrr! Drrr!
Ciara’s phone rang interrupting their make out section.
“Who the fvck calls by this time of the night?” Damien asked in frustration.
She smiled and picked her phone from the night stand.
“Hello.” Leo’s voice boomed.
“Hey, Leo.” She said in reply.
“You decided not to come back home again or you already relocated?” He asked.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Yeah, I think I already did.” She said looking at Damien.
“Ohhh… Okay, then can you send me your address so I can come visit you.” He asked.
“Yeah, sure no problem.” She said and texted him.
“Thanks.” He sent a message to with a smiley face.
She smiled and dropped the phone.
“Who is that?” Damien asked.
“A neighbor.” She replied.
“And he is calling you at this time of the night?” He said raising his eyebrows.
“Yes and also he is a werewolf so…” She said and drew him back for a kiss.
After a while, she said those words he never thought he would hear from her.
“Mark me.” She said.
