Lawrence's POV:“Everyone, stay sharp and stay alert!” I shouted at the top of my lungs as the wail of sirens drew nearer.The approaching vehicles, their sirens blaring, were still a mystery. They could be the police or an emergency response team. I backed away, needing to catch my breath and focus through the swirling dust that enveloped us. As I peered through the haze, I saw the unmistakable flash of red and blue lights cutting through the chaos.“Police! The police are here! Get out!” one of the drivers yelled as he sprinted towards us, panting heavily from the long run from our parked cars to the fray.I signaled to my wolves to retreat. “Move out, move out!” the driver’s voice echoed as he turned and bolted back.Our enemies, too, were scrambling to escape. California law strictly prohibits wild wolves in urban areas, and the gunfire and explosions had likely triggered their intervention. Though we were on the outskirts, this was stil
Lawrence POV : Driving at a speed that pushed the limits of control, the driver navigated the car with a precision born of desperation. He didn't dare take any chances. His eyes were glued to the road, overtaking cars with ruthless efficiency as we barreled into the city center. Our car was a blur amidst the sluggish traffic, the other vehicles crawling along as if on a leisurely Sunday drive or an adventurous drive, oblivious to our frantic pace.I glanced back, my heart pounding, scanning for any sign of the pursuing police car. “We seem to have lost them,” I muttered, both of us straining to see any flicker of red and blue lights. The chase appeared to be winding down, the wail of sirens growing fainter as we heard it only from a far distance away."They must be chasing someone else," I thought, a wave of relief washing over me. Yet, I couldn't shake the nagging worry. Those other drivers didn't need my help; they could fend for the
Lawrence's POV Stepping into my chambers, all that was on my mind was getting ready to move out to go see Camilla. I headed straight to my bathroom, and as I turned on the shower, I stood underneath it to make it easier for the water to wash away every form of stain on me. The drops of water on the floor made their usual sound as it kept me away from hearing things that were going on in the room clearly, but I knew I heard the sound of my room's door being shot.Either someone just entered the room or someone just left, but nobody was in the room with me in the first place, so someone came into the room. I turned off the shower. “Is anyone there?” I asked loudly from the bathroom, Anyone it might be should be someone that I'm close to, because the person entered the room without my permission, which means the person feels he or she is exempted from that.“I'm waiting for you, Lawrence; we need to talk." Bella's voice came to me as a shock. As I dried my body with a white towel,“
Lawrence POV:My voice was shaking as I spoke to her; she must have been expecting me for a long time. I was just calling her to inform her that I was on my way to her home. “Help text your home address to me,” I said to her. Although I was sure that she was going to comply, I knew she would be disappointed at me for not calling her much earlier. “I would do that,” she replied to me slowly. I knew she was surprised that I still called at that time and that I had a lot of explanations to do.I was driven straight to the address that I was given, and to my greatest surprise, Camilla sure has a good taste for luxury; her home was evidence of this. Walking into the house, the kids came running to me, throwing themselves at me, as they both chanted, “Dad is here, dad is here." Britney stood some distance away from where I was with the kids, and she just smiled at what I and the kids displayed. Camilla came closer to me without much expression on her face; she also hugged me. “It's been
Lawrence POV "I have to protect you and our son, George, who is the heir to my throne, from those who wish you harm," I declared. “Finally breaking the silence after staring at her for several tense moments, many people who you might not know are ready to take my heir away."And who says I don't need protection now?" She retorted, her voice quivering with emotion. "You have no idea what I endure every day." Her face mirrored the anguish in her words."There have been threats to my life—repeatedly. I don't know if I'll survive the next one. These attacks... they never seem to end, and I don't know when the next one will come.”"Attacks!" I exclaimed, my shock palpable. I had known she was in trouble, but threats on her life? That was beyond what I had imagined."Tell me everything, Camilla. I need to know what's been happening," I demanded, my voice steady with determination. Britney, who had been listening intently, approached us. She left the children and walked briskly to where we
The whole room looked at me with surprise. I was sure that they were shocked at the manner in which I entered the house. As Grandma, Bella, and Luke converged at the center of the living, it set the pace for other wolves to follow suit. They all stepped forward, although keeping a little distance from where Grandma stood.Raising my hand to a beta wolf, I said, “Every beta wolf in this pack should make their way to my office.” My voice was loud and echoing throughout the whole room; it was evident that I was angry.Within seconds, beta wolves started trooping in the direction of my office, as I had instructed."Now, if you may excuse me, I have some business to attend to,” I said again as I entered the room fully, passing right beside Bella. I didn't pay much attention to their presence.By the way, they were not needed in any of my plans.I must get to the root of this, I told myself as I walked in a determined manner straight in the direction of my office. I didn't want to take any
Lawrence scanned the room, his gaze lingering on Luke and the rest were of the wolves in the room."Just handling some business," he said, his tone neutral, masking the turmoil within. He couldn't afford to raise suspicions. Unsure of his next move, and after a little moment of weighing every option on what to do next, Lawrence retreated to his chambers, feeling the weight of their stares on his back.As the door to his chambers closed behind him, Their grandmother turned to Luke:"Do you think something serious is going on?"One by one, the other wolves filtered out, leaving Bella, Luke, and their grandmother in the dimly lit room. "Only one way to find out," Luke murmured, his eyes following the last person to leave.Grandma's curiosity was piqued. "What have you got in mind, Luke?" Taking her seat afterward. Bella stood silent, her wide eyes reflecting her unspoken questions. She didn't utter a word, but you could see the thousands of questions that were written on her face. Her
