Lucille on the other hand was waiting for her mate to arrive so that she will be able to share the good news with him. She was a little bit apprehensive about this, knowing his former thoughts about not wanting to be a father but now that this was coming to the realization, she didn't know how she was supposed to take it. Was he going to be happy? Or would he faint? The thought scared her a lot and was putting her in a circumstance where she was not sure how good it was going to be.Just then, the door was unlocked and Ben entered the house carrying his grocery bags. "Sweetheart, I am back." He yelled and went to the kitchen quickly to put down the things that he had bought from the supermarket. "Hey, how was the short journey?" She asked as she went to meet him.Ben opened his arms for a hug and she willingly went to embrace him. "It went well and how are you doing? Did you miss me?" "Yes, I did miss you." She kissed him.Ben stared at her for a while with squinted eye
Ethan continued talking after calming himself down for a while. "I was lost. I couldn't find my way back and became apprehensive. The rain started pouring heavily and despite being inside the rain, I would shout my brother's name, asking him where he was…if he was safe…he should come back for me. I ran…I fell…I got injured. I couldn't move. It was a terrible experience. When I became so tired, I just sat on the ground and I was still crying. I was afraid though but since no help was going to come my way, I just decided to endure whatever I faced.I slept off under the rain, shivering and murmuring my brother's name. After many hours of being in the dark, I started hearing people calling my name. Not physically but I could hear the wolves howling under the rain, searching for me.I couldn't scream and I could hardly stand up so I crawled but the urge that my parents and many others were here gave me the strength to at least stand up again and search for them.It was at this point I
The next morning, Ethan and Clara came downstairs for breakfast. She was carrying her backpack because she had morning classes by eight. While Ethan wasn't that dressed formally and was walking down the stairs ahead of her, she was so busy pressing her phone that she almost slipped but got caught.Ethan rolled his eyes. "Can you at least keep the phone away from you till you are less busy walking off killer parts?" "Haha, thanks, darling." She rewarded him with a kiss and jumped the next few stairs before heading to the dining table. "Good morning, everyone." She waved. She got to her dad's side and kissed him on his cheeks. "Good morning. Did you sleep well?" He asked without meeting her eyes. "Yes, I did. Father, good morning."Olive smiled and nodded, "Good morning, Luna." Ethan also greeted them and sat next to his sweetheart who started talking unusually to him. He nodded reluctantly while pretending to listen. Johnson would look from under his eyelashes before h
Jason and his friends were coming back from a car race that they had gone to. Their noises were so frustrating that they got frowned upon by the elderly ones but they simply didn't care and continued behaving nonchalantly. A few minutes later, Brown came out of nowhere suddenly and frightened them.Jason folded his palms to punch the intruder but he failed woefully because Brown caught him before he could. When Jason saw who it was, he frowned and pushed him away from his body. "What are you doing here?" Jason asked him as he dipped his hands into his pockets. His friends somehow surrounded them in case Brown was going to pull up any tricks on them.Brown had always been a quiet guy who played basketball during his free time and had won many girls' hearts but that didn't give up the meaning that he was considered mysterious amongst the other guys of his age because he rarely mingled with them. "I asked you what you were doing here. Are you perhaps deaf?" He repeated when Brown
By the time Agnes was finally able to locate Brown's whereabouts, she went over to him and slapped him across his face angrily, shocking everyone else that was around.Brown was stunned because the pain was stinging and he tried to lessen it by rubbing on the part where she had hit him on. "Who do you think you are, huh? Did you request that you fight my battles for me? Did I? We don't even talk with each other so why did you meddle in my affairs when you are not invited to?" She yelled at his face.Brown could not say a word as he watched her rant and say all manner of words to him. His friend couldn't even step in because he knew what he was going to face if he did so he could only watch from a distance. "Can you at least hold on and explain the situation amicably, Agnes?" Another friend of Brown tried stepping in. "Maybe you should ask your stupid friend what he intended on doing. Who does he think he is? Batman? Superman? Spiderman to the rescue? He is just dumb. I have a
"What your son did was totally detestable! How could he have done that to his classmate? I don't care what the reason was, she was his ex-girlfriend, right? He even did that when they were in a relationship. That's bad enough, Mr Bradford."Jason was already arrested by the cops the next morning with his parents not knowing what offense he had committed so they had to follow him over to at least know what offense he had done.When they got to the police station, Jason was begging hard not to be thrown into jail because he also didn't know for what reason he was being arrested until the woman talked.Bradford looked at his son with disappointment. The latter however lowered his head because he couldn't look at his father at the moment. That Bimbo tried to report him to the cops? How?He was sure that there was no way she could have told anyone at home so she was probably acting out on her own. "Ma'am, I didn't do anything as such, I swear. I agree that we were once dating but why
"I am telling the truth, Grandpa, it was just too much fun to watch." Agnes laughed happily as she narrated her ordeal with Jason back at the police station. She was now used to calling Olive grandpa because she didn't know how else to refer to him since he gave the Alpha title to his son.Back at the police station, Jason had been ordered if interested to go into a room and wore tattered underwear. It wasn't dirty but it still wasn't clean enough. He had to wear it and then come out shirtless.He refused to do as he was told at first but eventually had to yield if he didn't want to end up in prison for half a year. He still believed that ending up in prison was still better than having to embarrass himself in this manner. "If you know that it's quite embarrassing to be like this then you should not have exposed my sister's pictures in such a manner. I don't care and nobody cares, if you aren't doing this, you are going to shoot an apologetic video and then land up in prison or
Ethan and Ben had finally gotten a way to enter Ophelia's penthouse. It was indeed very classy and beautiful to look at but the atmosphere depicted nothing but loneliness. Which meant that no one had been inside for a while.Ethan's mind was troubled as he looked around. He ran his hand through him because he believed that something was probably not right but what it could was what he didn't know yet. "Let us start from her bedroom," Ben suggested and he nodded. The two of them located the place and easily entered the room. "Wow. She is indeed rich on her own." Ben praised. "However, you haven't told me what exactly that man said to you. You have been looking down ever since he told you that. Do you mind sharing?" Ben asked him.Ethan sighed and stared at Ben, "What do you mean by that?" He asked the aged man. "I mean that a few men came here quite a few times looking for her. They didn't ask me anything though. They would only come in their van and go back after a fe
Ethan settled down as far as he could from Ophelia and he had as many abled people beside him to probably stop him from strangling her to death. There were Clara, Ben, Lucille, and some other abled men for this short mission.The elders were allowed to start talking while Ethan kept shut because it was more advisable to do so. He wasn't in the right state of mind. "We received a letter on your behalf from this young man…" a woman pointed at Jackson while speaking to Ophelia. *Who claimed to be your mate? How true is this?" She asked her.Ophelia blinked, her heart was still racing, all of a sudden this apparent situation of hers opened the door for more headaches, worries, high blood pressure, and whatever one could feel and think about at the point of death. "Yes…yes…he is my mate." "He is human," Lucille said and locked eyes with Ophelia meaningfully. "Yes." She answered with a whisper. "Do you really want to apologize or you just had him do that as a fake? You've
"What do you think is going to happen now? Will he accept it? It's been days." Ben asked as he put Sofia to sleep.Lucille was dusting off imaginary dirt off her clothes and then looked at her husband after he mentioned that. "You didn't know?" "Know what?" "Luna has already sent a letter back to them but I think the question now is will Ophelia come or not?" She answered.Ben sighed, "I just don't even know my stand in all of these. Will everything go well for our good? Ethan doesn't seem like he is in a good mood to want to welcome anybody. He has been yelling at everyone at the company." He rubbed his hair.Lucille sighed and put down the big bear toy that she was holding. She went to meet him and wrapped his arms around her waist making him place his head on her tummy. "I know how badly you want to help me. Everyone is as confused as you are so don't hurt yourself that much. The pain is gonna be there but that day, Ophelia did recognize her mistakes and was trying
"At least, you were able to spread positivity through your behavior," Ethan said as he walked into the mansion with the ladies. "And I am proud to have given her a mark that she won't forget in her whole lifetime. I also told her that I am watching her. I can't easily forget what she did. I went almost naked on national TV. If I had been totally naked, I would have been going through therapy now and her apologies wouldn't heal me." Agnes complained and flung herself across the chair.A wolf passed by them carrying Sofia on its back. "Anyway, it is all gone now and she has turned a new leaf. Try being friendly towards her." Clara said as she rubbed her tummy subconsciously. "I will try to but I won't hesitate to bring her down to her knees if she goes insane." She threatened. Her phone rang, popping up Brown's name on the screen. "Hey…yeah, we are back. Alright, I will be there. No, there is no need for that, I can come all by myself. Hmm…see you later." She ended the c
Jackson stood to look at his mother who seemed to be arranging something in front of the house. He was squeezing his fingers nervously as he watched her. He was totally fidgeting.He didn't know how he was supposed to approach her because her actions were always unexpected. Rihanna sighed for the third time. Living a lonely life was hell and her husband was not around.Was he even worth being called a husband? Her present family was nothing but trash. There was no peace…no love, just her alone. There was nothing to gain as it was an absolute waste of time.She turned around and saw Jackson standing there, staring back at her. She eyed him without much reaction. One was expecting the other to tell him to come but staying off was probably better because anything dangerous could happen. Rihanna spread her hands open suddenly for him and Jackson's eyes widened. There was that rise of hope in his eyes as he looked from his mother to her hands that were opened in front of him. Rihanna ur
Jackson left the house after taking a day off from the restaurant. He was inside a cab heading to Lydia's father's house for a meeting. According to the plan that Ophelia had devised yesternight, he was to go to her father's place before she did anything dangerous while she promised to work on his mother instead.He didn't know what she was going to say to her but he hoped for the best. As he was going, he felt nervous because he didn't know what else he was going to face on his side.What if he didn't like him anymore and decided to punish him? What if things wouldn't go the way that they planned? He was sure of one thing and that was, Lydia was going to get mad at him. But he was ready to do whatever it took for himself to regain his freedom.The cab dropped him off at the gate and he paid the money before entering. The security man cross-checked diligently as he was supposed to do before letting him in while someone else brought him to the garden where the man was sitting.He was
"Why can't just people face what they are doing, huh? Why must they be concerned about other people's affairs?" Agnes said with frustration.Lucille came into the sitting room carrying a plate of fruit for Clara to taste. "What happened?" She asked. "Someone went ahead to spread pictures of Luna and Mr. Henry, claiming that the both of them are dating." She answered. "That's absurd," Lucille answered and collected the phone from her hand. She took a look at the contents and rolled her eyes afterward before taking a seat. "Well, to be able to sell, they need to provide enough false news. And telling the tales of Billionaires seems to work just fine for them, I guess." Lucille replied.Clara didn't even mind and only focused on eating her fruits. "I hope the Alpha won't get worried and over-jealous after seeing this. The pictures are quite intimate." Agnes showed Clara. "If he doesn't get jealous, that only proves he doesn't love me. If he considers this to be fake j
Jackson came back with a glass of drink for her and sat beside Ophelia who was sobbing. By now, she was trying hard to stop herself from crying and eventually started hiccuping so Jackson had to attend to her. "Here. Have some water." He gave her the water and she collected it with trembling hands. "Thank you."Jackson nodded and watched her drink all of it. What could be the problem? Who offended and made her cry? Why was she crying? She had always been that strong face woman that he knew so why was she crying?After a few minutes, she was done drinking the water and gently put down the cup. "May I ask why exactly you are crying?" Jackson asked her again worriedly. Ophelia bit her lips and fumbled with her fingers. Maybe she shouldn't have come here directly but she wasn't in the right state of mind to want to be alone. "I…I"Jackson sighed, "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. At least, you came to me when you are unhappy and that's enough to keep me glad bec
Ethan drove out of the ice cream store that evening, feeling a bit pressured. Beside him was Ben who was going through the things that he had bought for the hundredth time in a row. "Alpha, the flavors are complete and I can assure you that she will love them." He said. "You are not here so how can you say that on her behalf?" Ethan raised his brows and Ben just scoffed. "I can't believe that you are behaving like this now. What happened to the strong Ethan I know? Come to think of it, during my time, you didn't consider me serious. You would mock me all the time and whenever I called to cry out to you for help, you just ignored me and reported me to Lucille for more suffering. Don't you think that it's my time to repay the deeds?" He smiled at Ethan like a maniac and Ethan successfully pulled out the leadership card against him "As your Alpha, you shall obey me." He ordered and Ben's smile slowly dried up as the corner of his lips went downwards. He was displeased at the
"Remember that you have to put on a good smile and act accordingly to the plan, do you understand?" Lydia instructed through gritted teeth to Jackson. The latter was dressed in a fine suit and his hair was well made so it could give him a more beautiful and innocent look.Currently, they were in Lydia's father's house for an introduction and Jackson felt more nervous than ever because he had not been in such a situation before.His pupils kept moving from one side to the other because of his anxiousness.Then suddenly, they both heard the sound of footsteps coming from the inner part. Unlike any other house with a staircase in sight whenever someone came in, Jackson concluded that they must be in the waiting room because there was no staircase in sight for him even though it was a big building that ought to have one.An aged man then appeared with a lot of electronic gadgets. Some were his phones. He seemed to be in his seventies as most of his hair had turned white. He was wearing
