Cuddle Me, Alpha 31 Doubts and Trust
Xavier I awoke in the afternoon and discovered that Lauren was still asleep. The sight of her face covered in bandages continued to shatter my heart, and a burning desire for vengeance consumed me. I yearned to track down the person or people responsible for this heinous act. However, due to our exhausting return and the pressing need for both Lauren and me to rest, I couldn't reach out to Landon and Soren. In the meantime, Landon and Soren had settled into two rooms downstairs, serving as temporary bodyguards. I felt a profound sense of gratitude for their presence because, given the circumstances, they were the only individuals I could truly trust. There was an immense amount of work to be done, and having them by our side was reassuring. I lay in bed, my eyes wide open, contemplating my next steps. There were guards to question, a pressing need to understand why they had defied Soren's orders and refused to resume their duties. I had to unravel the mystery of how the assailant ha

Xavier. Soren took it upon himself to open the door as I carefully poured the smoothie into a cup, then inserted a straw for Lauren's convenience. Despite her awareness of the potential upcoming pack discussions, it seemed unwise to have her present. "Landon, would you mind staying with Lauren upstairs while Soren and I handle packing matters?" I inquired, and a momentary confusion crossed Landon's face before he finally comprehended the situation. With a quick nod, he agreed just as Levi walked in. "Good evening, Alpha," Levi greeted with genuine concern, and I acknowledged him with a nod. Although he was my friend, we currently found ourselves on opposite sides. Levi's attention shifted to Lauren. "How are you feeling, Luna?" he asked, to which Lauren responded with a smile. "Ah, that title again. Lauren is more than sufficient, Levi. And yes, I'm feeling better. You should see the other guy," she quipped, eliciting laughter from Landon. Lauren had indeed put up a strong fight,

Xavier "Now that we've cleared the air, what's our next step?" Soren interjected, attempting to dispel the lingering awkwardness in the room. "We need to infiltrate the hunters, gather intelligence on their plans, and expose the individuals in our pack aiding them. The only way to achieve that is by interrogating the dumbasses that refused to resume their duty post," Levi asserted, and I recognised the merit in his suggestion. "We won't stop at questioning; we'll also bring disgrace upon them and their families," I declared, aware that it might seem extreme. However, the reality was that if I appeared lenient and easily manipulated, it would only encourage betrayal. I needed to assert my authority and prove my father wrong. I understood the gravity of the situation and was determined to make things right with every fibre of my being. "Very well, they will serve as scapegoats. What about the flight crew?" Soren inquired. They held even more significance than the guards who had fa

Xavier Two days had passed, and the bandage had finally been removed from Lauren's face. She now officially had a black eye, and even though the world was aware of what had transpired, I couldn't shake the feeling that people might view me as a violent man. Lauren was healing somewhat faster than usual, which I was grateful for. I decided to return to work and then later visit my parents to reassure them and let them know I was alright. Meanwhile, Landon and Soren remained at home with Lauren. She expressed her dissatisfaction about losing the job offer from Stonegate and Uclea cancelling her interview. She voiced her displeasure, unaware that I was the one behind these developments. I assured her that my offer still stood, and she mentioned that she would think it over. I hoped she would accept because whether she said yes or no, the human resources department would be sending her the offer letter today. I spoke to Landon about it, and he assured me he would help convince her to a

Lauren The attack had brought me great misfortune, and even though I tried to mask it so Xavier wouldn't punish himself any more than he already had, I failed woefully. I thought I had caught a break and was on my way up. Stonegate changing their mind broke my heart, and when Uclea decided that they would cancel the interview altogether, it shattered my heart. I knew it had everything to do with the news and the public attention Xavier and I had been getting. No one wanted unnecessary attention. I would lie if I said this whole Isabella thing did not mess things up. Even though it had brought me blessings and I had discovered a world I was oblivious to, it had also taken from me. I was financially in the red, so keeping my apartment would be challenging. I knew Xavier had offered that I come to work for him, but wouldn't that confirm that I am a sponge and can't do anything for myself without him? I did not know how these things worked or if they would last, but I knew I had to

Lauren Xavier did not return from work until late in the night. I was fast asleep when he entered, but his movements had woken me up from my slumber. I had waited for him so we could discuss the offer letter I had received from the Human resources department of his company, but he did not return home. Not wanting to be a pest, I had decided not to call, knowing the whole intruder issue and the fact that there were some sneaky hunters after him was taking a toll on him. I decided to give him space and time to sort things out. I gently sat up in bed. I had a slight headache thanks to the whiskey that I drank. Luckily for me, I had aspirin, so I opted to take some. I got off the bed and went to the bathroom to check the medicine cabinet. Xavier was still in the closet. Judging by the state of the bathroom, I could tell he had showered already. I took some aspirin and returned to the room. Xavier was still in the closet. I knew by now he knew I was awake because he had super hea

Xavier In the morning, I rolled out of bed while Lauren remained peacefully lost in her dreams. A faint snore suggested that she was enjoying a well-deserved night's rest. Perhaps I had pushed the limits a bit too far last night, but my need for her and my desire for her to accept the job was strong. I wrestled with the temptation to wake her and assert my dominance once more, but there were urgent matters demanding my attention, and they couldn't be handled within the confines of my home. Heading toward the bathroom, I decided that Jax and I would have to be patient and wait for our time with Lauren. I hurriedly dressed and set my phone to vibrate to avoid any intrusive calls. I was anticipating Gilbert's call, but so far, there had been no word from him. The events of the previous night had led to casualties, and I couldn't be certain if it had attracted unwanted attention. I knew it was only a matter of time before the hunters began to close in on me. I needed to devise a plan to

Xavier We departed from the house, and I sat in the backseat with our captive while Soren took the wheel. Our destination was the interrogation bunker located on the outskirts of Riverbend. I was eager to engage Neil in conversation, as I couldn't shake the suspicion that he might be the one responsible for the attack on Lauren that fateful night. Thankfully the bunker had cameras and we were going to record his confession. "I did nothing wrong. People are fed up with you trying to disrupt our lives over women. Someone has to take a stand," he argued as we drove, but I remained silent. "An alpha should have his priorities straight, Xavier. You clearly don't," he continued. "First, you fuck a rogue bitch, and now that gold-digging human slut. You fucked my sister over for that piece of shit. The Havenwoods will never support your leadership as Alpha, and when you bring me before the committee, you'll see just how powerless you are," he declared, and his final statement prompted bot

Lauren Amidst the chaos, I locked eyes with a feral wolf, its red gaze filled with a hunger that sent shivers down my spine. It lunged at me, and I barely had time to react. My reflexes were heightened, but the sheer ferocity of the attack was overwhelming. I fired a round, and the wolf yelped in pain as it tumbled to the ground. Beside me, Landon was locked in a deadly tussle with another feral. I could see the desperation in his eyes as he fought to keep the snarling beast at bay. His strength and determination were awe-inspiring, and I knew we couldn't afford to lose. Abel and his group of hunters fought with a fierce precision that complemented our own efforts. They moved as one, a well-coordinated unit, driving the ferals back and giving us the opportunity to regroup and reload. By ten in the night, we were battered and bruised, our clothes torn, and our bodies covered in a mixture of sweat and blood. But we couldn't afford to give in to exhaustion or pain. We fought on, drive
Cuddle Me, Alpha 67 True- Blood
Lauren I arrived at the venue. Looking across and worried. We had people stationed about, but we needed the host to believe I had foolishly come alone. I approached the door of the Warehouse but refused to go in. I got a text on my phone from Xavier urging me to come in.“No, I do not trust this. I can't call you; your number is unreachable, yet you can text me. Come out so I can see you,” I replied to the text, knowing he wasn’t going to come out. There was silence, and when I tried to walk away, the door of the Warehouse opened, and a gun was fired. I froze on my feet, wondering where the shot came from. Was I hit? Fortunately, I wasn't hit.“Leaving so soon, Luna Valentine?" I heard a bitch like voice call out, and I turned in the direction. There outside the Warehouse, Isabella stood outside with angry-looking wolves. They also did not look normal. They were coming out of the Warehouse looking dangerous and shit.I swear I peed on myself. What the fuck! They looked evil as hell
Cuddle Me, Alpha 66 A Visit To The Counsel
Xavier I surrounded the vicinity of Gilbert's office after I was confident that my parents were safe in the hidden bunker of their home. Soren and I went into the building. I owned it anyway, so no one dared stop me. Taking the elevator, we went up to Gilbert's floor. His secretary was surprised to see me. I knew everyone knew of my arrest, so escaping the hunter's den was a badge of honour because no one had ever come out alive. I was grateful that I did not fight Darius that day. He would have killed me, and it wouldn't have mattered that I did not break any law. Landon bought me time by putting his life in danger. I was forever grateful for that, and I will always show my appreciation. We walked into Gilbert's office, and there was a bottle of Whisky on his table. I was trying to read him and, at the same time, maintain composure. 'What is this? Isabella has taken over my pack and is given orders, Gilbert? Didn't you do your job as you have been paid," I asked him, and he looke
Cuddle Me, Alpha 65 The Text
LaurenAfter greeting Xavier, I fell back asleep. I guess my lack of sleep and peace for four weeks had taken a toll on me, and my body needed to regain its strength. I somehow knew Xavier wasn't home. I did not know what, but it was a feeling, something I wasn't able to do before.I went to the bathroom to freshen up and shower, and while I brushed my teeth, I saw the crescent moon-shaped teeth bite on my neck. I grazed my hand through it, and it stung a bit. Still sore but healing gradually.I giggled, realising how things had gone from hopeless to hopeful.After I brushed my teeth, I showered.I felt the urge to call Xavier, but I decided against it at the last minute. He might have gone for a meeting or something.At the same time, I dressed up in joggers, a tank top, and a hoody.My stomach growled, and I remembered what Gail had told me. I was still finding it hard to believe that she was right. She had to be joking. I searched my purse for a pregnancy stick. Something I had bou
Cuddle Me, Alpha 64 Levi’s Condition
Xavier I watched Gail apply the balm to the back of his arm and wait. The balm was colourless when she applied it, but it started turning dark."You sure you flushed his system, doc?" She asked the doctor, and the woman could not speak. I already knew what was happening. Someone had instructed them to ensure he did not leave. I could guess who it was, but I needed to hear the name. If Levi dies, then Gilbert cannot handle the affair. It will fall on Jacob, and Jacob will be forced to take up the reins. Killing two officers in a row will be suspicious, and those not in the plot will figure it out quickly.I also suspect that my father's Illness is not a coincidence."Look at me, Dr Karen. There was a possibility you thought I wouldn't return and you were following orders. Who instructed you to keep Levi in a comatose state indefinitely,” I said, leaving Gail to work on Levi.The doctor's lips quivered, and she began to shed tears."It was Luna Isabella," she said, and I frowned at her
Cuddle Me, Alpha 63 The Traitor
XavierWe were still engaged in our discussion when the door burst open, and Jacob stormed in. I noticed he was alone, making me wonder where Levi was. Jacob had a grim expression, and I couldn't help but worry."Xavier!" he exclaimed, unable to believe his eyes; he looked over at Landon and Soren. I could see the disbelief in his eyes. He never thought we would make it out there."Mr Vale!" he said, and hearing the name honestly, it was a giveaway."How?" Jacob said, walking toward us. The room that had paused momentarily returned to the chattering and eating."How?" Jacob asked again."Jacob meets the new temporary head of Hunter's bureau, Rufus Valentine," I said, and his eyes widened.“That explains it,” Jacob said excitedly and glad. I could see true relief in his eyes."No wonder you didn't like me the first few days Lauren and I were at your house. It also explains why Everet said Lauren wasn't normal," He said, and Rufus frowned, but I changed the topic immediately. Seeing how
Cuddle Me, Alpha 62 Some Puzzles To Solve
XavierI woke up and found it was afternoon, the golden rays of the sun slipping through the curtains, casting a gentle warmth upon the room. My gaze drifted to my side, where Lauren lay peacefully, her chest rising and falling in the rhythm of slumber. Her long hair spilt across the pillow, and I couldn't help but smile. It had been a month since I saw her. I could not believe her father had rescued us from the clutches of those ruthless hunters.Careful not to disturb her, I slid out of bed and headed to the bathroom. The mirror revealed the face of a man who had seen more than he ever wanted to. The beard that had grown wild during my captivity was now reduced to stubble. I couldn't bear the feeling of it on my skin; it served as a constant reminder of the darkness I had narrowly escaped.As I shaved, I pondered the events of the past month. The hunter's prison had been a living nightmare, and the fact that I had managed to survive felt like a miracle. It was the rescue mission mou
Cuddle Me, Alpha 61 In Time
LaurenThe return of network service to my phone at the break of dawn was the assuring sign that we were finally back in Riverbend. My heart was in my mouth, afraid of the outcome. I still did not know what my father and his friends planned to do, but I was hopeful. Soon, we pulled up at the gate of a house situated on the outskirts of town. The gate opened, and we drove in. The three trucks drove on the driveway till we got to the building. We alighted the trucks, and I waited for my father's friends to move. The people in the house opened the front door, and it was a woman; she was grey and dangerous, and she was happy to see my father and his friends."Well, I thought you all would remain in Avalora, away from society for the rest of your lives,” She said, ushering us in. The moment she saw me, she recognised me.“Mrs Blackwood?" She asked me, and I nodded."Gail, meet my daughter, Lauren," My father said, introducing us, and she gasped."Abel fucked up good this time,” She said,
Cuddle Me, Alpha 60 What Really Happened
LaurenI sat on the patio watching the sunset. Since I came to Avalora I have refused to visit people or talk to anyone. There was no joy in my heart, so it was pointless. My mother tried to get me out a bit, but I refused. I was a bit sick, but it was mainly because of my poor diet. I wasn't eating or sleeping well. I was a mess. Still staring at the sunset, my mother left the house with her basket of tomatoes. Usually, she would go to the exchange market with my father, but She went alone this time. I didn't bother to ask. I didn't care. My father came to sit beside me on the bench, and then he sighed."How are you?" He asked, and I looked at him."I am fine, Daddy," I said, and he chuckled painfully."I never knew a day would come when you would lie to me, Lauren. Only a fool will believe you are fine,' he said, and I was silent. I had been doing a lot of lying lately. Trying to cover up, trying to keep it together, but every time, things just came bursting out the seams. I was t
