Austin's POVI sit in stunned silence, my eyes fixed on the screen as I watch the footage again. The grainy video shows Louise walking towards the pool door, her eyes fixed on something in the distance. Then, a figure emerges from the shadows, their movements swift and deliberate. They approach the pool door, their hand reaching out to unlock it. My heart races as I realize this must be the person who allowed Louise to escape.I lean in closer, my eyes glued to the screen as I try to make out the figure's features. But they're obscured by a black hoodie and sunglasses, making it impossible to identify them. I can see the outline of their face, the curve of their jawline, but nothing more. I feel a surge of frustration, my mind racing with questions. Who is this person? Why did they unlock the door? Did they know Louise would try to escape?I rewind the footage, watching it again and again, trying to glean any clues from the figure's movements, their gait, their posture. But they're a
Justin's POV I feel a surge of anger and betrayal as I process what Austin just told us. Alexa, had been behaving indecently with the vampires? The same vampires we had tried to protect her from.I feel my face heat up with rage as I turn to Austin. "Are you sure about this?" I demand, my voice low and menacing.Austin nods, his eyes filled with a mix of sadness and understanding. "I'm afraid so, Justin. I remember now. She had been acting strange for weeks before that bill was passed. I just found out that she had been spending time with them."I can't contain my anger anymore. I slam my fist on the table, making Dustin and Austin jump. "How could she do this to us?" I exclaim, my voice echoing off the walls. "We trusted her, we considered her a friend. And this is how she repays us?"Dustin places a calming hand on my shoulder. "Justin, we need to focus on the present. We need to figure out why she's with them."But I shake off his hand, my anger and betrayal still simmering. "I do
Dustin's POV With what happened to Louise, I'm determined to get rid of vampires for good. I have tried my best to overlook their existence but they seem to feel like they are untouchable. This bill has to be brought back at all cost, Alexa can't even take care of herself talk more of speaking on behalf of others. I stand in the senate chamber, my heart heavy with regret and anger. I think back to how I once pushed for the bill to be passed, allowing vampires to roam free among humans. I thought I was doing the right thing, but now I realize how wrong I was.Alexa's threat still echoes in my mind. She forced me to go back on my word and have the bill canceled. But now, she's gone too far. She's been consorting with the vampires, and her absence from work led to Louise's death.I take a deep breath and begin to speak. "Senators, I come before you today with a heavy heart. I once pushed for a bill that I thought would benefit our society, but now I realize it was a mistake. The vampir
Alexa's POV I sit in the darkness, my mind reeling with fear and confusion. I've been locked up for what feels like an eternity, with no food, no water, and no light. I'm starting to lose my grip on reality.Suddenly, I hear the sound of footsteps outside my cell. My heart races as the door creaks open, and a sliver of light pierces through the darkness.I shield my eyes, blinded by the brightness. A figure steps forward, and I see Justin's face.He doesn't say a word, and just asks the guard to unlock my chains and gestures for me to follow him. I stumble out of the cell, my legs weak and shaky.He leads me out of the prison, into the bright light of day. I blink rapidly, trying to adjust to the light. Everything feels overwhelming - the sounds, the sights, the smells.He doesn't offer me food or water, and doesn't speak a word. He just releases me, like a bird set free from a cage. I look at him, my eyes filled with anger and hurt. But he just turns and walks away, leaving me to f
Cameron's POV I pull up to Alexa's apartment, feeling a sense of responsibility wash over me. I know she's been through a lot this night, she can't even lift a finger and I want to make sure she's safe and sound.I carry her out of the car and walk with her to her door, making sure she's steady on her feet which proved to be difficult. She smiles up at me, her eyes sparkling with gratitude."Thanks, Cameron," she says, her voice soft. "I don't know how I would have gotten home without you."I smile back, feeling a warmth in my chest. "You'll never have to find out," I say, unlocking her door and ushering her inside.I help her settle in, making sure she has everything she needs. I fetch her a glass of water, and sit with her on the couch until she seems relaxed and comfortable.As I prepare to leave, she reaches out and takes my hand. "Thank you," she says again, her eyes serious. "Thank you for taking care of me."I squeeze her hand gently. "Anytime, Alexa. That's what friends are f
Dustin's POVI sit there with Austin and Justin, our minds racing to its peak. Alexia has just done something very terrible, taking the life of Louise, our daughter, Alexa's daughter. We had never been in this tense before. For a while now, we have been trying to see that vampires should be banished from the estate, but now we are very firm that it is what we really want. We do not even want them to be banished from just the estate, but the country, so that something like this does not happen again. "How do we even start to address this?" Austin asks us. He is probably the most confused person in the room. I am very heartbroken. I believe I love Alexa the most, also Louise equally. Now that her daughter, our daughter, has been taken from us, I can only begin to wonder the kind of pain she feels. I want to speak to her, but I know the words will not come out right. I have to wait for her to cool off first. Back to Austin's question. "Tomorrow, we must meet the council again." I s
Alexa's POV As I sit in my room, all messed up in thoughts, I start to think of what to do to get justice for my daughter and it dawns on me that there is just one thing. As I try to figure it out within me, I hear a light knock on the door. I do not answer because I am too down to answer, but I look at the door, wondering who it is. Deep down, I wish it would be my daughter. She is the only one I want to see now. I want to see her, not just see her, but see her alive. After a while of not answering, the door is finally opened and the alpha brothers walk in. Seeing them, I am disappointed. These are not the people I want to see. "How are you feeling?" They ask me. I do not answer. They stand and look at me for a while, then walk to me and sit by my side. "Please, I want to be alone." I say to them. I do not think they are going to let me be, but I really want to be alone as I drown in this sorrow. The three brothers are here and trying to make me feel better, but it does n
Alexa's POV"I am sorry, okay?" I just want you to be okay and that is all." Justin says, trying to put an end to the conversation he started. "Well, I am not okay." I say to them. "I want my daughter!" I yell at them. "I am sorry, but you know that she is gone." They tell me. "I wish we could do more." Dustin says. "Then if you can not do anything, let me be!" I say to them. They however are not willing to let me go. They are here to comfort me and are trying to do it at all cost. I wish it were that easy. This grief is just too deep. I spent so many years feeling bad about abandoning my daughter and I never really felt good. Now that I have finally gotten a chance to be with her and show her motherly love, she's taken away from me. They however try harder to make me feel good. Trying all possible ways and saying everything they can. This discussion actually takes a long time because these alphas are not ready to leave me. I can see and feel their care and desire to help
Third POVAlexa has a lot to process, getting better and the fact that her ex had died. However, constant love and care and more importantly, assurance from her lovers made her get over it. A month later, everything was normalized and there was going to be a wedding. She's going to be married to her seven mates. The wedding was going to have two parts. The first was going to be in the pack and the second, in her hometown Fae community in Norway. After a lot of cries, the Faes were now allowed to live amongst everyone and weren't haunted down again, thanks to her. As expected, her first wedding was a very colorful event to remember. It marked the wedding of the century, having in attendance dignitaries from all over the world.Before everyone, Alexa and her seven Alpha mates made their vows to be with each other forever, promising to always love and look out for each other and not let anything ruin their union. Alexa could not stop crying when the men read their vows to her. She fe
Alexa's POV"You can now go and see your family." He tells me. I have never been happier. They put me on a wheelchair and pushed me to the reception, where my daughter and my seven lovers are. They are so excited to see me and all run to give me a hug. I am happy to see them as well. Throughout my stay there, when I was numb, only one thing I could really grasp and that was my love for them. "She should have adequate rest when she gets home and an adequate diet. In a week's time, bring her back so her stitches can be removed. "Thank you doctor." Dustin says to him and takes the lead to push me to the car. They help me inside and drive away, starright to our estate. Going into the estate, everyone is happy that I am finally free of the tumor and even want to party about it. "Please, no. We mustn't party about everything in this world." I say to them."But you just got over a major surgery." Austin says to me. "Please, I do not want any party." Okay to him, ending the discussion ab
Austin's POV “No oo!” They were forced into laughing even at a suspenseful moment like this. “Then what's it?” “You know we really want to know what happened to our mate?” Cameron uttered. “Okay then, wait for twenty minutes.” I had nothing more to say to them apart from this. Twenty minutes had barely come when I went over and stood by the hallway, close to the theater. Dustin wanted to accompany me but I told him that it was gonna look obvious should two Alphas come to wait like that close to where the surgery is going on. I stood there subconsciously submerged in thoughts, thinking that the attendant would emerge from the theater only to see her coming out from three rooms away. I popped my eyes wide, she had a file in her hand. “Congrats! Your mate is still a werewolf with forty percent trace of Fae traits in her blood. She's more of a werewolf and no supernatural traits have taken place in her system except for the one in her brain.” “Wowwww!”“Wait.” “What has taken pla
Austin's POV “Alphas, this surgery is likely to take up to eight hours for the preliminary investigation into what is wrong mainly with her brain, from here the doctors can check out if it can be cured or it's terminal.” My heart snapped into two. Despair brushed in, the world was falling in on us. “What do you mean?” I asked her. Dustin asked at the same time. “I thought the surgery to get the tumor out of her is gonna be done today?” I relayed what I thought all these while to the nurse. I waited eagerly for her response, she gazed at me slightly folding her lips. I was cut on a fiery furnace of suspense and I couldn't wait to escape this. This means that Alexa still had a long way to go. I was honestly not expecting this. How am I supposed to wait in peace to the end of a preliminary surgery without having my heart beating to an attack. We went over to the waiting room to sit, it was a VIP assigned only to us, we could have our privacy here. So many things saddled our minds at
Austin's POV Now the bed had straps just like seatbelts which would hold her in place during take-off, flight and landing. The life support system was also installed on the bed. This is a special helicopter, designed for both medical and military emergencies. Once it was borrowed by the government of an ally country, humans thought to rescue a military general who was wounded in a battle and there was nowhere he could be rushed through a car to the hospital. There was no path for cars to pass through, only thick bushes. All I was praying then was that it shouldn't be gunned down, then I remembered that it was bullet proof and it had the features to deflect even a missile that's being targeted towards it. If not for these special traits and something happened to it while on rescue at the battle front, we wouldn't have it with us today to use it. I joined the helicopter and headed to the hospital with Alexa. We weren't sure of returning back with the helicopter, even though we did, no
Cameron's POV I sighed as he helped me up. Looking up to everyone in the face, I stated why I made this suggestion. “I wanted Ariana not to come and see Alexa. You all know she wants her back as a complete Fae so much. Now that Alexa is in a critical condition, she might readily accept to ease her pain but she will lose complete interest in us and will return to the Fae world, we'll be at loss again.” “We love her so much that we want her by our side forever.” I began to see nodding faces, hums of acceptance. I glared at the ground, putting up a little smirk. “Are you believing me now?” I said in my mind. “Oh what you said is true! We need to hurry her out.” Austin became even more serious with this than any other. “You know what we will do because we still need to use the helicopter?” “No,” we all shook our heads. “The helicopter will drop at the roof top and we will take Alexa there. Ariana wouldn't sight us, she would only see the helicopter flying over.” “Austin, don't you
Cameron's POV She paused for a brief moment, upon noticing she wasn't well, she raced towards us, grabbing her from the front. “Mama, you're back! Welcome!” “Louise, thanks. But please–” She breathed hard, I'll see you later. I want to take a deep rest now.” We took her into the elevator. Louise wanted to enter too but I prevented her from, I was blocking the entrance with my body frame until the door closed. She began crying from the outside. Then I heard footsteps, it was my brothers coming. They were probably climbing up to see Alexa. “Heyyy baby, why are you crying?” I heard Austin's voice, he toned it to match with a baby's voice. “Come on, let me carry you. Stop crying baby girl. What happened? You're looking for your mother?” “Yes!” It was here the elevator began heading up but I could still hear her voice, now a bit faint. “Daddy Cameron didn't let me go inside the elevator with her,” she reported and I laughed to myself. I just found kids’ reactions to things funny as
Cameron's POV “Even if you leave now, you've already been suspended from modeling. The news of this would be announced to your fans through our social media handle soon. The term of your suspension would be decided by us.” I breathed out a bit deep. I kept a clear face, this didn't disturb me. “I'm innocent, so I'll fight my way through and when I do, my accuser will pay dreadfully.” I replied in a very cool way without looking at anyone. I soon began to observe some uneasiness in Cindy, she soon started to sweat and was looking for something to fan herself. I pulled up into a steady smirk, a grin which said the whole story. She's saying the truth, why become uneasy? Everyone was just staring at both of us and didn't say anything. When the meeting finally finished, we stood up, I held a stern face. The suspension was into effect but I was going to pursue this case. Alexa curved her hand with mine, she leaned towards my ear. “This is planned, someone who's your enemy certainly did
Cameron's POV “Will you shut up!” Cindy lashed at her with a loud voice, Alexa stood up in a flash, striking her a blow on her face. “I'm not your mate, know how you talk!” She came back to her seat, pulled her seat out and sat on it, with a stiff face, she acted as though nothing even happened. Lisa and the executives were shocked, Lisa dropped the pain in her hand which she was using to record what I was saying. Alexa’s confidence was even more than mine, she gave an air of mystery which got Lisa and the executives extremely shocked. “Please ma'am, you can continue with the meeting,” she gestured when she found out that everyone was looking at her. “Hmm,” Lisa took a deep breath. “I'll continue with the questions Cameron? So did you really assault her sexually as she claims?” I turned to Cindy, she turned to me at the same moment, our eyes clicked. I had disappointment gluing to my eyes, she had a slight smirk, there was this satisfying look in her eyes. She was happy about gett
