As loud as the gasp shared by the crowd was, the only ones Jayden paid attention to were Elsie's and his sister's.

They both watched in plain horror the scene that had just taken place in front of them. He hated how he had to show them that part of him immediately after he returned.

If only all those idiots knew their places and stopped trying to get on his nerves. Only then would he have no reason to fight, but they were all plain ignorant.

The Bassett family weren't the kind of people to allow themselves to be looked down on by anyone, especially not someone they condemned as a useless son-in-law.

Elsie was very much aware of what her family used to be capable of and the only reason she had been afraid was because of Jayden's fate in their hands.

Those people were all a bunch of greedy bullies, like vile creatures that weren't even supposed to exist!

They were rich and had connections from both good and bad sources. Every single Bassett was worse than the other when it came to their evil hearts. The desperate ones were the worst!

No one was more desperate for power and respect than Justin Wick, a man who had spent the years joining the family seeking power.

How would Jayden expect to survive now when they were standing in a room filled with every single person that worked under Justin Wick?

Even if they didn't attack them now, they had made themselves potential enemies of these people already, and they would be the target of each one of them!

A hand squeezed hers, and she emerged from her thoughts. Her eyes glistened under the dim lighting of the room as she stared worriedly into Jayden's eyes.

"Jayden," she called out his name in anguish. "We have to get out of here before it's too late, I mean, it's already too late, but if we want to keep our heads attached to our bodies today, then please! Let us leave right now!" Years glistened in her knowing and fearful eyes.

Jayden looked at the disgusted men in the room, he would pay a good sum for the pleasure of beating them up to a pulp!

If he stayed, he could enjoy that luxury for free! But it would be selfish of him to ignore her desperate pleas to leave that room and the hotel entirely. She must obviously have grown sick from being around such people in such an environment.

"I can assure you," he said to her, "that even if we stay and fight, we will keep our heads attached to our bodies for a very long time. But I'll do as you say, we can leave if you want us to."

"Yes! Yes please let's do that." She responded sharply.

In the entire world, his family had been narrowed down-- unfortunately though-- to the two women he had by his side and he needed to do whatever they requested of him to keep them safe and happy all the time.

He held both women close and turned around to leave the room.

Some men had rushed towards Justin Wick to make sure the man hadn't died from the impact of the kick. Realizing that he was alive and very conscious, they helped him up to stand on his two wobbly feet.

Since Jayden had decided to leave, they thought they'd let him do as he pleased as long as he didn't trash their properties.

The manager gritted his teeth in anger as he saw how soaked Justin Wick was with all the expensive bottles of wine he had shattered.

Why didn't he fly towards the wall instead?' He thought to himself.

It would have been easier to fix a broken wall. The wines all put together would lead to an outrageous amount of millions that Justin Wick couldn't pay.

If he demanded the man pay for it, he would be demanding more than Justin's entire net worth!

"You!" Justin cried out angrily. He spat out blood and wiped his mouth. "You think you can leave just like that?!" He wheezed and coughed while rubbing his stomach, which seriously ached.

Small pieces of the bottle of wine had pierced into his skin and he felt his body ache over, but he was too angry to pay attention to the pain he was feeling.

"I will have your throat slit and feed your body to the street dogs!" He roared. "And I will not only take that worthless, but also your sister as well! They shall serve me day and night until they die!"

Jayden sighed heavily. It was starting to feel like Elsie was asking too much of him to just walk away like that. At least, he ought to have killed Justin Wick right there at that moment.

He realized he had stopped in his tracks when Elsie squeezed his hand. He looked down at her, and she shook her head nervously. Her reaction was to tell him it wasn't worth fighting, not at that moment at least.

He grumbled underneath his voice and continued, deciding not to give Justin the satisfaction of a reaction.

"What are you fooling standing around waiting for?!" Justin growled furiously, glaring at the security team that stood there like statues. "Kill this man already!"

"Yes sir!"

They all rushed towards Jayden, who had pushed Elsie and his sister behind him to face them head on. It was starting to look like the men had gotten in a queue to get themselves beaten up severely.

All of them were definitely no match for the god of war. In a matter of seconds, they had been dealt with and Jayden left the room like he was an honored guest.

Outside the hotel, he stopped and turned to face Elsie. "Elsie, as of now, Ella and I have nowhere to go. Is it alright if we stay at your house?"

For some reason, she seemed reluctant to allow it but then she nodded and told him her address.

Jayden's car was not parked too far, and he led them towards it, but suddenly--

"There! The bloody bastard is over there!" quite a similar voice yelled from behind them.

He turned around, and several cars trooped towards them. Soon, they surrounded them, leaving them with no room for escape.

The voice that had screamed belonged to none other than Kelvin Olsen and Jayden's wife stood by his side. Olivia looked terrified at the sight of him, but her burning eyes were also fueled by rage.

She smirked. "I hate to break it to you Jayden, but your petty reunion party will have to wait."

"Kill them all!" Kelvin hollered.

  • Caspian felt lost

    Caspian's POV It felt like my life was starting all over again. From the loneliness to being directionless, to the fear of not getting anything right, or just running into the wrong crowd. One of the reasons I chose to always stay, no matter how abused or battered I was, was the fear of starting over. Time and again, I would promise myself that I am now bold enough to start over, that I was ready to put it all behind me and I would take responsibility for myself, but all those times, I end up failing, time and again. As little as it is that I had, it wasn’t easy to set out, leave it all behind and pretend like it all never happened.I sat at the border for well over an hour, shedding tears. I felt rejected and abandoned. This was the second time in four weeks that I had to be sent out of a pack really quietly. Even though in both cases, I realized it was to help me, it still felt like a lot on my weary heart. At this stage, I wasn’t even demanding to be fed and taken care of, lik

  • Caspian Identity was Revealed

    Caspian's POV “Why does it feel like you’re hiding something from me,” I immediately followed after Alex, as I had the urge to. Alex did not respond and continued walking around the house, not particularly engaged in any activity that was worthy of note. “Alex, I am talking to you!” My tone got authoritative pretty quickly, “I demand answers and I’m not going to let you ignore me like that.”“What do you want from me?” Alex’s tone got pretty authoritative and he turned around, yelling in my face. My confidence and fury had quickly burned into freight but I tried not to show my weakness to him. “You believe that everybody shows up like you, huh?” he continued in a rather intimidating and high-pitched tone.“Or you think you were going to hide forever? You think your secrets are going to remain secrets forever, don't you, Beta?” I felt my intestines tying into knots, at his mention of the name ‘beta’. It was clear to both of us that he knew exactly what he was speaking about. “I

  • Tiffany's Secret

    Caspian's POV I was so amazed to set my eyes on Tiffany in Alex's house.‘isn’t this the same person I left inside the pack house?’ The thoughts of that clouds up my mind severely.“Hey, Caspian.” It's a pleasure meeting you here. How could it have been a long trip for you when your noisy friend couldn't get you some space.“Wrapped up the thoughts in your head and braced back to life.” They churused.“What are you saying?” I replied back.“Aren't you thinking?” Alex said.“No dear,” I was just…..Just what?” Tiffany fired back at me.From her tune I could sense that she has something under her skin, so obvious that I read her thoughts out.“Nothing, I answered so trembled.”“Don’t mind Tiffany,” Alex calmed my fear. She has a way of getting under people’s skin at all times.Tiffany rolled eyes at Alex's words. “I don't blame you,” she retorted and slammed the door right after her.I sat down on the couch wondering what she might have against me. ‘Is she always this bossy?’‘I neede

  • Caspian returned to Beleza 

    Caspian's POV She left me more confused than ever, I couldn't get the information I wanted.‘ Are you sure you want to do this?’ kite probed.“We have to think fast.” I retorted.The thought of turning Alex and the entire camp to Alpha David wasn't just making sense at all to me. I would rather face the consequences of Alpha David.Alex had been there for me throughout when my family abandoned me to face the cruelty of imagination in the lab.“ Why did you look lost in your thoughts” a voice echoed from behind leaving me startled.“Amanda I haven't come to a conclusion yet.” I need to be left alone I yelled at Amanda.I had to return to the Beleza camp that night before they returned, because I had put the camp on freeze.I got up immediately and rushed to the bathroom, arranged a hot steam bath, it took me less than an hour to be ready.“ Amanda,” I called with so much rage.“Why are shouting my name,” When you clearly rejected my view and idea about turning in these thieves t

  • Tiffany’s warning to Caspian

    Caspian's POV “After I became the king's wife, and realized it was nothing like it appeared on the outside, I was filled with so much shame.” Tiffany began. “My friend used to be one of the Alpha's wives and I swore that she had no reason to cry, every time she did.” “She was the king's first wife, and slavery had not begun to sweep over the land, like it is now.” “When the king picked me as his second bride, I brought her to ridicule–I broke the only person who should have stood by me.” “My family were equally excited, and didn't care about what I had to go through here. We were only a struggling family, who lost their status and all we had in our previous pack, because of my father's mistake.” “Or like him and my brother would always defend–my father's dream. They always fail to see that his inability to achieve his dream, to overthrow the king, cost us the fairly good life that we had, and that was more than enough for my mother and I.” She sobbed as she spoke. “Good enou

  • Tiffany’s threat to Caspian

    Caspian's POV “Tiffany?” My surprise quickly became panicked. It was almost like I was starstruck, but this wasn't exactly a star, she felt like my nightmare. She confidently walked in, and something about her aura pushed me from the road, letting her into my room like it was her space and not mine. “Why are you in my business, Caspian?” Her voice was soft, but piercing. I was trembling from my hair's tip to those of my toes. I couldn't even hope that she couldn't see it, because my shorts left my legs very exposed and I was beginning to sweat, even with the cold breeze from the window outside.‘Could she read my mind?’ I couldn't help wondering if she had King David powers. “Uhm…I don't know what you're talking about,” I said, trying to sound bold. “Really, Caspian?” She pulled closer to me, “you don't?” As she closed the gap between us, I squeaked out of fear. A reaction I was terribly embarrassed by. I never saw myself outliving this experience. I felt like a tiny insect
