The words hang in the air between us, and I can tell he's using his alpha tone. The tension in the air is thick, and I realize I'm holding my breath. I hate it, the nerve of him to bark out orders to me like I belong to him, or like I'm part of his Pack. The rejection stings even harder now that I think about it.

I clear my throat dramatically, tucking my hair behind my ear. I glare at him, but his expression remains unchanged. I subtly hint at him to step away, but he doesn’t move an inch. He completely ignores me, staring down at me, his eyes never leaving mine.

Drake looks between the both of us in confusion. I can see it in his eyes, and in that moment, I can’t help but wonder what he’s thinking. Of course, he's not dumb, he probably has noticed the tension in the air between us, not to leave out Lucien who is ogling me like I'm his favorite dessert.

I know I have to salvage the situation. Drake is already suspicious, and I don’t want him to figure it all out. If he knows, that me

    Alexa’s POVLucien grabs my arm. “We need to talk, Alexa...”I fling his arm off of mine. I’m about to say something in anger when I see Trevor walk in sleepily, his nanny not far behind. She looks at all of us curiously, as if sensing the tension in the room. She averts her gaze. “Um...hi. He just woke up, he was calling for you.” She retreats and shuts the door.“Mama,” he calls out to me in a groggy voice. I grab my purse and crouch, waiting for him to come into my arms.As he walks up to me, he spots Lucien standing in the corner. He walks up to him instead and hands him the candy in his hand.It's hard to conceal the disappointment on my face as I watch them.“Take this,” he outstretches his little hand towards him. Lucien crouches in front of him, and in that moment, I can't look past their similarities. Their black hair, bluish-grey eyes, boyish smile...Lucien takes it from him. “Thank you so much, Trevor. Why are you giving me candy, though? It’s not my birthday yet.”Trevor g

    Lucien’s POVI watch with slouched shoulders and sad eyes as the car drives off, feeling an emptiness in my heart much bigger than when I set out. I wanted to be with her and her son, everything felt right about that. I stare off into the distance until the car disappears from sight. Then my phone buzzes in my pocket, pulling me from my thoughts.I pick it up, “Hello,” I say in a flat tone, a bored look in my eyes.“Lucien...”I sigh and massage my temples, “What is it, Letty?” It was bad enough that I had to deal with her every day at home, but having to endure her unnecessary attitude even when I was miles away was exhausting.“Lucien, I’ve been trying to call you all day. You weren’t picking up your phone,” she says in a whiny voice, which seemed especially whiny today, or maybe I was just irritable.“I was at a meeting, Letty. An important meeting I told you about before I left the house. The same one I explicitly told you I didn’t want to be bothered at...”“Babe, I can’t help bu

    Lucien’s POVI freeze at first at her words, my mind digs through all my memories, but nothing comes up. Pregnant? It was absurd. “You’re lying, Letty. You’re not pregnant!” I say in a harsh tone.“I am pregnant, Lucien,” her voice is strong and unflinching. “I am carrying our child in my womb, Lucien.”I scoff, “I haven’t touched you in a long time, Letty. We’ve gone long months without sex. If you think you’re pregnant, you may want to think harder about who the father may be.”She grows quiet all of a sudden and then in a really small voice, “We made love to each other a month ago,” she confesses.I have no memory of it. Letty and I haven’t been intimate for a longer period of time than was normal for a couple living together.“It was really hot sex...” She chuckles as if stifling a blush, “You were like a stallion starved, you turned me in many ways than I could count. It was long, passionate all night...”“Stop it, Letty,” I interjected sharply. “That’s e...” and then I recalled

    Alexa’s POVThe hallway of the hospital, although familiar because I’ve been here a lot of times before today, felt much bigger and colder. The smell of different drugs intoxicating the air made me feel nauseous, like the first time I walked through those doors. A little trip through memory lane, and I pull myself to the present as I just realized that I don’t know where the hell I’m going.“Alexa...” I hear my name from what sounds like a distance but is just right behind me, and I pull myself back to the moment. I turn around to peer at Drake, he has a look of worry on his face.“Alexa, are you okay?” he asks, peering at me. “It seems like we are going the wrong way, and we need to retrace our steps or maybe ask for directions because the drugs are messing up my sense of smell.” He glances around, his nose scrunches up in disgust.I nod, “Yeah, I think we should ask for directions. I can’t believe I got us lost in this place.”He suddenly pulls me close. I didn’t feel Drake besides

    Letty’s POVI am on the call, listening silently to the conversation between Lucien and his mother. I have a very satisfied smile on my lips as I listen to her rant. I couldn’t lie, the woman loved me. There were very few people who would fiercely come to the defense of a stranger over their own child.“Are we really pregnant?” my wolf asks in a soft voice. “It doesn’t feel like we are. I...”“Let it go, Lyla. Let me handle it,” I say in an assuring voice. I was already making plans, huge plans already set in motion. I just need the opportunity. Lucien was a roller-coaster of emotions, he is bound to drink again. Now all I need is to wait patiently for him to let his guard down. An extra dose than required and intense lovemaking with a man who thinks he’s with his ex is sure to do the trick.“Do you remember the last time we did it? It was unsuccessful. We can’t lie...”“Well, Lyla, you know what they say about a woman with a dream. She will do anything to make it work, absolutely any

    Alexa's POV“Umm, Alexa. Next week will be great. Liaise with my receptionist at the front desk, she will give you days when I’ll be free next week...”I merely nod, not trusting myself to speak.“Remember, early detection will help with the cure,” he explains to me.I am far too deep in my head to speak, “Of course, thank you, Doctor.”“You take care of yourself, Miss Dawn,” he tells me.I manage a small smile, “I will.”As I walk out the door, a beautiful sight greets me. Drake is sitting on the waiting chair, with his head against the wall, fast asleep. On his thigh is Trevor, who’s asleep too. Drake has his hands protectively around him, like they were father and son.I’m moved to tears despite my predicament, they are too perfect. I watch them for a while, taking the image of them to memory. The possibilities are endless, what could be, only if I let it.I am cruel, too cruel for being unable to love him.

    The phone rings again, and I see that he's still calling, so I let it go to voicemail. I am not in the mood to have this conversation with him, especially at this time of night. I was not cut out for this, so I let it ring. When he gets tired, he will stop calling, or so I thought.The calls didn't stop, so I picked it up with enough rage at being denied my sleep."Lucien, I'm going to say this once for your benefit: stop calling me. I want to go to bed, and please never call me again. I don't ever want to speak to you. You're the last person I would want to talk to, so please do me a favor, stop calling and delete my number. Thank you.""Please, Alexa, just hold on a moment and hear me out. Don't cut the call. I'm so sorry for ambushing you with the questions tonight...""And I don't care for your apology. I just want to go to bed, so leave me alone." I'm furious now and standing my ground."Alexa, I'm sorry..." his voice breaks, and for the first time, I can't hear the confidence in

    Alexa povWith the surgery and work, there is so much on my mind, not to mention the fact that Lucien is a constant figure, making things easier for me. And now here's my kid who won't let the matter go. Well, he's four and never really had this, so how can I blame him?"So when is Lucien gonna come around again?" He asks so innocently, it's adorable, the kind that makes you forget you were pissed in the first place. "Am I gonna see him again?" With a hint of sadness in his voice and head dropped, he throws this question open to us both. Now, I personally want to shut this down, but at the same time, I don't want to hurt my boy, so I let Drake go first."Hey buddy, of course, we're going to see him again. I have some business with him, so he will be coming around much more often, and you can see him as much as you want. How does that sound?" Drake says smoothly without a glitch.He wasn't expecting the leap and hug from Trevor, but he welcomed it and returned it."Thank you, I'll be s

    The men come back again to my cell still in arguments about on whether to harvest my organs Or not. Earlier the other man had spotted my pack sign and informed the masked man of which pack I belonged to and it would be a problem if it was later traced back to them. He informs him of how dangerous it would be to their operations if they were to have a run in with the other pack and suggest they let me go so as to avoid any problem in the near future.“Do you know we are already running short on our deliveries this month and you want to let one go? An expensive one at that. If we get this one it’ll be worth ten others and that would be enough to spare us from the big Boss wrath this month. I know you clearly remember what Hal the last time we failed him” The masked man turned to his companion and he looked awayI had a suspicion as to why they were putting on masks and I guess it had something to do with their punishment. I wanted to feel bad for them but they had taken countless of liv

    I wake up with a banging headache and the metallic taste of blood in my mouth. I can feel it ran down my face and was roughly treated. The room is dark and it does not look like there is any light in view and I struggle to recollect what was the last thing that happen. It comes in bit and pieces. I remember being on a call with Amaya and then I remember flipping and losing the phone. Next thing I remember is being lifted and dumped and the back of a truck and it all went dark. As the last memory comes in I call out for help and no one answers me. I call out a few more times and no one answers me.I think back to home and how I left things recently contacted Amaya and Trevor is with her. Trevor. I remember that I have not beards from my son in a long time and by now he will be worried and here I am in a dark room that I don’t know where I am. I call out for help so more and the calls turn into screams as no one seems to respond m. I let out an ear piercing scream which echoes of the wa

    It takes a lot to convince Amaya to take care of Trevor and make sure the boy is comforted and isn’t suspicious of his mother’s disappearance. It’s going to be a big job as I know that Trevor is a really smart kid and it’s not going to be long before he starts asking the right questions about his mother and when he does not get the right answers he is going to start getting suspicious and worried. It’s already been a day since he heard from her last and it’s already been too long for him.I also plan on talking to him to get him relaxed a bit and might even go see him to comfort him in person to distract him all of this in midst of making plans to get his mother back home. It’s all he can think of at the moment. We all gather in the room making calls and plotting to get her back. Everton has a contribution from Cole, Drake and Elena even chips in occasionally.

    “What do hell do you mean by that Amaya” I asks again and she turns to face Drake for an explanation.Drake keeps his head down in shame and I’m so close to losing my cool with him if he does not start speaking.“Drake if you don’t start speaking I swear to God that I’m gonna…”“It was yesterday and I needed to go for a meeting out of town but decided against it and needed a representative so chose Alexa to go represent me at the meeting…”The more Drake talks it becomes clearer that sending Alexa out was all a rouse to get her out of town so I would not see her as they concluded the deal. I can’t believe that he would do this sort of reckless thing just to keep her out of sight from him. The more I listen to him the more I want to break his stupid face.He finishes and no one says anything about it. Cole looks away not wanting to be involved and from his actions I know that he was clearly against this but was ignored so he’s leaving him to carry his cross.“You claim you love her but

    Authors POVDrake is restless as he has not heard from Alexa in over a day and tries calling her but it keeps going to voicemail. He wonders why she didn’t call when she arrived but then again thought could he blame her. After all she did not want to go and he made her go for this so it only makes sense that she would not want to talk to him. He paces around his room unable to get some sleep and is filled with regrets as to how he acted towards he. He thinks that he should have been a more matured person and not let petty rivalries get in the way of their relationship. He is lost in thought of how much of a good person she has been and how she navigates the struggles of being a single mother. He thinks about Trevor also and feels guilty, at a time she would have brought Trevor for him to look after and now he does not even know where Trevor is as she is away which is also his fault. He tries calling again one last time and it goes to voicemail.“Alexa when you get this I want you to k

    Author's PovAmaya was really excited to watch Trevor and I could understand that, he could be sweetheart but when she tried to inquire about my situation I have to deflect it and ask about her and her family, what she had been up to and work. I know that it does not make up for the lost time and how I handled things but I’m glad that we could do this right now. She tries again to inquire and I know that I can’t keep deflecting what happened for too long.“So how is your boss?” Amaya asks“He is doing okay” I reply lightly“Is he the one sending you on this errand?”“Yes he is, but it’s a really important meeting and he’s sending me to handle it. I guess he trusts me that much and I won’t let him down”.“He must really be a good man for you to really want to deliver this for him”“He is…”We both end say our last and I tell her that I’ll see her in a bit while I put together my things and have to go get Trevor’s things and also talk to him about my journey for the next few days.

    Authors povDrake tells Cole about how much he likes her and how hurt he felt there last week with Lucien all over her trying to make her his girl. Especially with the negotiations going on and trying to make her part of the deal.“See Cole I don’t want her to actually work for Elena but I have to do this and keep her at a distance Lucien be a the more she is close by the more he feels like he can get her and I simply cannot let that happen” Drake explains to Cole.“So if you do like her this much why would you have to do all this? I really don’t see the need to be all mean and non chalant about the whole Elena thing because it is well within her rights to refuse to do anything that is not within her employment” Cole says to Drake.“I know that but I had to draw a boundary between us. No matter how I much I feel about her I am still her boss and that respect needs to be there”“As much I understand this what you did this lot was going a little of the top to stamp your authority wasn’t

    Author’s POV)It’s the first day for Alexa to work under Elena, and she completely hates the idea of doing it and the fact that she is actually going to be doing it daily for the time being. She hates that Drake is doing this to her for trying to leave the office. Now she’s not only still sick here with all that has happened but also having to work directly under, not with, but under Elena. She walks into the office, and the air feels thick, and she wonders if it has always been like this and swears that it was not always this way. Maybe it was her mood that made the place feel gloomy and dark.Alexa heads to her office, and on her way, she runs into Drake, having an uncomfortable encounter.“Hi, good morning,” Alexa greets and forces a smile.“Yeah, morning,” Drake mumbles a reply and walks by without saying another word, which is unlike him.

This morning, my sleep has been going off and on as I have tried to force myself to sleep away through the pain of Alexa’s rejection and frustration of the contract.Nothing was going according to plan, and I experience and feel new levels of anger and frustration every time I wake up and realize my situation. Now, to add to that, someone is blowing up my line this early morning, and honestly, I’m not having it.My two guesses will be Letty and my Mum. They were the only two people who have the mindset to bother me this morning. However, I have no intention of dealing with them this early morning but finding my peace of mind. The calls, however, don’t stop, and I can’t switch my phone off, so I have to answer.“Oh my God, Lucien, I have been calling for ages now.
