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

  • Cuddle Me, Alpha   36 Would You Take The Offer?

    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

  • Cuddle Me, Alpha   39 Tell Me What You Want

    Xavier Soren and I left Neil to get acquainted with his new room. He wasn't getting out. I believe he sort of figured it out, and he had no reason to plead. He had orchestrated something that would have gone badly for my wife; there was no mercy for that, but I was grateful for the information he divulged. "So what are we going to do about everything?" Soren asked me while driving back to the city. "One thing at a time. We go home and rest, and then we get Everett tomorrow. I want you and Levi to pick him up tomorrow and lock him up. I want to deal with him personally. I have something special planned for the bastard." I said, and he chuckled. "There is a lot of shit going on right now, and you know what troubles me the most," he said and looked at me for a second before returning his attention to the road. "What?" I asked him. "We are yet to know how that bitch fits into the puzzle or who the fuck she is. Jacob is yet to figure her out. She is like a ghost." He said, and I knew

  • Cuddle Me, Alpha   40 A Surprise Visit

    Xavier I woke up early in the morning and got ready for the office. Gilbert and my father were going to meet me there by eight, and I did not want to be late. After dressing up, I looked at Lauren. She was naked, tangled in the sheets, and she looked pretty with her hair sprawled on the pillow. We had a long night, and I might have overdone it. There was no point pretending. She brought out the beast in me, and I was willing and ready to oblige. I sat on the bed and bent close to kiss her on the lips. She stirred in her sleep but did not wake up. She was mine, and I didn't want to think of what divided us. All I could do was appreciate here and now while I tried to solve the danger that loomed over us. I couldn't wait for her blackeye to clear so she could join me to work every morning. It would be great to see Lauren in her element. She studied Business Administration and will balance my economics knowledge perfectly well. I left her a note letting her know I wa

  • Cuddle Me, Alpha   41 The Heat Effect

    Xavier I stepped out of the elevator in a hurry. Walking straight ahead, I refused to look at anyone. My blood was rushing through my veins, my wolf was unstable, and my heart was beating fast. Isabella had a good plan but underestimated my control and quick thinking. What had happened in the Remington happened because my guard was down. I thought she was a helpless single woman needing my help, but she had shown herself, and I wasn't a fool anymore. I made sure I maintained a calm exterior and looked unphased by the situation. I was sure no one knew what had happened other than the security personnel in my office doing goddess-knows-what with she-wolf on heat. As for the head of security who came to work late and the security officers who let her in, they wouldn't get sacked. I planned to make an example of them. I stood outside and signalled the parking valet to bring my car. I had set the meeting with my father and Gilbert at a tiny guest house I had purchased two years ago

  • Cuddle Me, Alpha   42 The Ideology

    Xavier I left my house feeling light and happy. It was a good idea to go home. I doubted I would have been able to function otherwise. My father had given me six missed calls, and the new intern who was filling in as my secretary had called me three times, too. I wondered what the issue was. Knowing that my father was likely calling to complain about keeping him waiting, I decided to call my secretary's desk. "Mr Blackwoods Office, who is peaking, please," the intern answered. She was a bit rusty, but it was better than the useless secretary who did not do her work. "You called three times. What do you want?" I asked, and she gasped. "Sorry, Alpha. I did not know it was you. Your number isn't registered on this phone," She explained, and I excused her. "Get straight to the point," I said, sounding impatient. "Ehm, I do not know how to say this," She started, and I knew what she would say, but I waited. "Say it as it is. Speaking the truth isn't a crime, neither is describing a s

    XavierI left the guest house and headed to where Levi and Soren were holding Everett. I would lie if I said the whole Whitehorn ideology issue hadn't put me off, but I had to deal with everything a step at a time.I drove to the venue and found Levi waiting outside. He had a bottle of beer in his hand, and it seemed he was bored.He raised his hands when I arrived, and I could see the question in his eyes.I took off my jacket before stepping out. I unbuttoned the first few buttons of my shirt to ease the tension and roll up my sleeves just in case I needed to get my hands dirty. "What happened? We have been waiting?" he asked me. Just then, Soren walked out. He had the same question on his face.“Had a little issue at the office and had to run back home," I said, and Levi looked confused.I walked towards the door, and he followed.“Care to elaborate?" Soren said. From the way he sounded, it seemed he had an idea of what might have happened at the office."No, why don't you tell h

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
