BOOK 1:THE BEGINNING:CHAPTER XLIV:THE SPY

It wasn't long after sunset that a lone young woman had to returned back from the main city to her father's estate at the eastern mountains surrounded by the ocean tidal waves. Her frequent usual returns to her father's abode seemed to be anticipated by those already waiting for her to come back at noon rather than the night, from where else she had spent all day inside the mansion including that of her own sibling whom she met first sitting in the living room with her father and some of his goons whose familiarity to her seems more like a close friend to rely on since she herself is a member of the lyoana clan.
Bertrand's hard stare met her at his door the moment she entered into the parlor where he and those of whom had been conversing with on important matters relating to the survival of their clan. But she did not feel nervous nor did she fret when she saw his bloodshot eyes watching her every move as she stepped into the meeting room unannounced. There silence when she first entered and was headed to the other cubicle in the mansion when an expected question from the owner of the house stopped her in her tracks.
"Why so late, Mary?",
The question came from Bertrand himself who sat down on his sofa in the middle of the room aloof from where she stood by the door. She didn't respond back at first and just gazed at him in perplexity. Five more eyes peered at her but she didn't flinched after shutting the door behind her and only stood near the entrance still in the same outfit she wore for school.
"You usually arrive from school in the afternoon",
"The spell the witch did for us started to fade off",
Mary replied boldly not too afraid to speak the truth of what happened to her after school.
"You mean it's not working any longer",
"Kind of",
"It seems we have to pay the witch a visit",
"Can't it be tomorrow? I need to work on some assignment",
She answered.
Bertrand stared at her transfixed which got her a bit afraid of his sudden demeanor. And before she could blink, he blew past the second couch facing and was already standing face to face with her. Then he caught her by the neck and pulled her against the wall with him still standing in front of her whilst his hands throttling her painfully. He was so fast that the others could hardly count his speedy movements. His grip was fierce and had more pressure around her little throat.
"Please, stop—",
She groaned as she pleaded for him to stop strangling her to death. She started choking but he didn't care.
"Silence. You've become sassy like human teenagers who doesn't like listening to orders. Do what you are told unless you wanna have your head ripped off",
He warned and loosen his grip on her neck. His eyes roamed around her pretty face and started fondling the side of her cheek with his index finger as he spoke to her.
"Listen closely. We may have permitted you to attend the same school just to keep an eye on Sermond's son but don't forget for once that you aren't human and you belong to me",
He advised. Her eyes turned pale watching him caress her soft cheek with his sharp fingernail which almost tore her flesh. His right thumb suddenly found its way to her lips as he gripped her by the jaw which made her face more puffy than ever before. She looked back at his malicious eyes peering down on her more closely than before and she knew deep down that he wanted something more from her but she also knew that she was powerless to resist him and that he was more stronger than her even though she too had similar powers like he does.
"Always remember that we are your family now and nothing can change that, you got that?",
He said and she nodded meekly in response. The others were watching indignantly particularly Michael who was smirking at one end of the room. Her pale eyes glimmered in submission and he became convinced that she had clearly gotten his message. Then he pecked her forehead with his lips after brushed aside fawn ringlets of her hair dangling on her forehead and withdrew away from her.
"That's good...",
He said letting her go. Mary straightened her jaw after Bertrand removed his hands from her mouth but he wasn't done with her.
"Now let's go see the witch, shall we?"
"Yes...but let me drop off my things",
"Nah, there's no need for that. We won't spend much time there so, lead the way",
Bertrand ordered grinning whilst his hands remained tucked inside his pockets.
Mary felt nervous leaving first but she had to comply with his demands. She reluctantly opened the door and stepped outside with Bertrand following behind.
"Michael, keep things in order while I'm not around",
"I will",
Michael said raising his liquor at departing Bertrand as the duo left the room. Mary accompanied by Bertrand . Mary, accompanied by Bertrand strolled towards the front yard and arrived at where some of the fancy cars owned by Bertrand himself were parked. One of the guards armed with a rifle quickly responded to Bertrand's call to drive them out of the vicinity and entered the driver's seat of a black limousine whilst he joined Mary at the back seat reserved for passengers only.
The gate was opened wide enough by two of the security guards for them to exit the compound and soon found themselves driving towards the main road that led to the main city.
Mary sat with on the left side of the seat facing Bertrand who kept watching her trying to read her thoughts even though she didn't look at him directly.
"Take us to see the witch, Thomas",
He said to the driver from the back.
"Right away sir",
Then Bertrand returned his look back to Mary.
"Have gotten any news so far for us?",
He asked still looking intently at her prettiness.
"Still the same. Keeping an eye on Leonardo isn't turning out to be yielding any good results",
She replied without looking at him.
"So you suggest we pull you out, is that it?",
"I didn't mean that. Apart from the fact that a new guy joined the men that often comes to pick him up from school, I have gotten nothing from the Alpha's son",
Bertrand scoffed and nodded.
"It's good that you are really that observant. From the look of things, he is trying hard to make sure his son is secure from the likes of us but little did he know that increasing the number of bodyguards around his son is a wasted effort for what we intend to do to his dear son",
He said to himself though Mary was paying less attention to his babbling.
"Intend to do what?",
Mary asked when her ears only heard the last part of his statement. Bertrand shifted closer, this time, in a way that clearly shows his intentions. Surreptitiously, he pressed a button and the window that separated the driver from seeing is passenger suddenly closed whilst the vehicle kept its acceleration on the tarmac road leaving Mary aghast with surprise but she remained calm as ever. Then he began caressing the Mary's cheek with the back of his palm.
"We'll let you know when the time comes. For now, you'll continue to watch Sermonds son for us like you have been doing for the past three years",
"Please—",
Mary squealed when his rough palm found the soft side of her left breast and tried wrenching his hands off but he was too quick to stop her from pushing his hands aside.
"Come on, now. I just want to play with you. You owe me for giving you a life and you must repay my kindness",
"Not like this",
"It's not enough for you to babysit but you have to do this as well",
He said and pulled her up by the waist before turning her around with her butt facing him. Then he smacked her buttocks twice with his palm and unfastened his belt behind her. She flinch nervously trying to move away from his clutches but she knew it was hopless even the vehicle was still driving. Every part of the car became too dark and ominous for her to escape from his trap. He allowed his pants to fall down to his heels including his underwear leaving his erected organ searching for something in between her legs and he rolled up her skirt up from behind only to see her loose pinky panties still covering a whole larger section of her two curvy buttocks. To him, she dare not refuse his rigid penis otherwise he would rip her up to shreds and she knew this since he was undoubtedly stronger than she was in every aspect.
