Chapter 56
Damien started feeling uneasy.
“What is happening?” He asked his wolf, Cayden.
“It is the mate bond,” Cayden replied nonchalantly.
“Nicole is feeling scared and intimidated,” Cayden replied.
“Not like this is the first it is happening, I don’t know why she feels scared every night even during the day,” Cayden said.
“Why does she feel like that?” Damien asked.
“I am not her keeper, remember,” Cayden replied.
“The last time I checked I don’t like her and that flirty wolf of hers.” He said and was cut off by a scream from Damien.
“What the hell is happening, Cayden?” Damien said holding his neck.
“Fvck, It hurts a lot.” Damien cussed.
Cayden could not reply because he was feeling the pain too. And then he passed out.

After a while, he woke up.
He felt refreshed and free as he had always wished since the day he found out that he was bound to Nicole by spell… Not even the mate bond.
“Cayden, are you there?” Damien asked.
“Yup,” Cayden replied with a dint of happiness.
“What happened?” Damien asked.
“Go to the mirror and check your neck,” Cayden said with a wolfy grin.
Damien wondered why his wolf was suddenly active and happy.
The happiness was sipping into him also making him kind of ecstatic.
Damien stood up and went over to the mirror. He was surprised to see how he looked. Unknown Happiness is written all over his face.
He touched his face and his hands found their way down to his neck.
“Where is the mark on my neck?” He asked caressing the place.
“Luckily someone broke the mate bond between Nicole and you, so we are finally free.” Hayden howled in his head happily.
Damien smiled.
“I… I… I feel Tavia.” Cayden said suddenly.
“What?” Damien asked to be sure of what he heard.
“I said I feel the mate bond even though it is not as strong as it was before,” Cayden said.
“Do you think we can find her?” Damien asked.
“Probably,” Cayden said.

Ciara had used a whole week in Damien’s pack. She had told Tavia that she was going to spy on Damien but this same Damien was not in the pack for the past week.
She decided to leave his pack. She has a lot of things to do.
Tavia begged her not to leave but she had already made up her mind to leave.

“Ma’am, we have arrived.” The driver alerted Ciara as soon as he drove into the garage.
“Ohh. Okay.” She said as she handed him his pay.
“Could you please help me with this?” She said pointing at Nicole.
The driver smiled and helped her lift Nicole.
“Thanks.” She said and laid her head on her shoulder.
She headed into the hotel.
“Good day, ma’am.” The receptionist greeted politely.
Ciara nodded.
“Any room available?” She asked.
“Yes, ma’am.” The receptionist said going through her monitor.
“Room 450 is currently available.” She said looking back at her.
“Okay,” Ciara said.
“This is the key.” She said giving her the key.
Ciara collected it and headed towards the elevator.
The receptionist stared at her.
Like what is she doing with a lady?

She dropped Nicole on the bed and stretched her shoulders.
“So heavy.” She said as she kept on hitting her shoulders.
She sat down and stared at her phone screen.
She scrolled through her contact and clicked on Mark’s number.
“Hello.” His voice said.
He has been expecting her to call him concerning the progress of the deal. He thought they had caught her while she was doing it. He was worried that she would reveal him to them.
“I will send you the address now.” She said and cut off the call.
She clicked a few alphabets and numbers then she clicked the ‘send button.
“On my way.” He said.

”
She sighed and sat down on the bed. She looked at the unconscious Nicole.
She lied down on the bed and closed her eyes.
**Some hours later**
Grrr! Grr! Grrr!
The telephone in her room vibrated. She opened her eyes and picked it up.
“A man is here to see you.” The receptionist announced to her.
“Name?” She asked.
“Mr. Mark Morrison.” She said.
‘So soon.’ She thought inwardly.
“Let him in.” She said and dropped the telephone.
*
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Come in.” She said.
Mark opened the door and went in. He looked around and saw Nicole unconscious on the bed.
“You owned up to your reputation.” He said.
“Never knew you could be this perfect at doing a job like this.” He said.
No reply.
“Is she okay?” He asked when he saw she was not moving.
“Yeah, she is. Had to drug her.” She said.
“I hope you have seen the credit alert,” Mark said.
“Yeah, you can take her.” She said looking out of the window.
Mark went over to the bed and carried Nicole then he exited the room.
She has been uneasy since she came into the hotel.
She decided to take a walk since it is almost a night.
“Tavia, what is happening?” She asked her wolf but got no reply.
She sighed and exited the room to get some fresh air.
*
She sat on the grassy floor and caught a whiff of air. She inhaled and exhaled. She looked up to the sky.
“Mom, Dad, how are you doing?” She thought.
“And… Damien, how are you doing?” She asked.
The reason she accepted Mark’s deal was to see Damien. She was a bit disappointed when she saw that he was not at the pack.
*
“Ciara.” She heard the only voice that she has always wanted to hear.
The only voice that causes tingles down her spine.
The only voice that causes butterfly eruption in her stomach.
The only voice that causes goosebumps to create their way into her skin.
His voice – Her mate.
