LOGANA knock sounded on the door, drawing me out of my thoughts. “Come in,” I called out, as I lifted my head from the table and adjusted my tie.The door creaked open and my Beta’s head peeped in. I tilted my head to the side in confusion. “Why are you being sneaky?” I inquired, a curious smile on my face. “For a few minutes, I wanted to feel like a spy,” Caleb replied, as he walked in closing the door behind him.I let out an amused laugh. “I find it hard to believe you are my beta sometimes.” Caleb laughed in response. But something felt off. Caleb was shuffling his feet, and had I misheard, or had there been a crack at the end of his laugh? I noticed he didn’t bother to take a seat, that was when I realized it was definitely something serious. “What’s the problem?” I asked in a solemn voice. The light mood of the room had suddenly lifted and was replaced with a heavy tension. “Don’t freak out about what I am about to tell you, Logan...” he began, trailing off as soon as I s
LUCAS “You really shouldn’t have done that, Lucas,” my beta was saying as soon as I zoned back in. “Done what?” I absentmindedly asked. Jackson stared at me with a blank look on his face. “You know exactly what I am talking about,” he stated. I let an amused smirk reside on my face. “Do I though?” I asked as I stood up from behind my desk and walked around. I sat on the sofa directly opposite Jackson. “What are you talking about, my dear beta?” My voice was dripping with sarcasm. “The deal,” he simply replied. “What deal?” I asked, tilting my head forming innocent confusion. “The deal you stole from your twin brother, Lucas. That’s the deal I’m talking about,” Jackson stated. “Hold on, now. Steal is such a harsh word, don’t you think?” I pointed out. “You monitored his proceedings for the last four months. You waited till the contract was within the grasp of his fingers, then you came in and presented an irresistible offer to the contractors. I don’t think steal is harsh enou
SKYLAR“Angie, I have no idea what I’m going to do. They don’t even know I had the children, lest they should know it’s one of theirs,” I groaned in frustration. “Sky, just calm down. Everything will fall into place... hopefully. But what do you mean by they don’t know you have children?” Angie inquired. Her tongue was tucked in her cheek, which was something she did whenever she was trying to understand something. I spun around in my chair to face Angela and placed my clasped hands on the table. “Okay, get this,” I started. “I had fainted as soon as I had the realization that I had fucked twins. When I woke up, I was in the hospital and they were both there. They don’t know I fucked both of them, nor do they know I actually got pregnant that night. My mum comes in and she is all about pretending to care about my pregnancy. I panicked, and I may or may not have told everyone I aborted the pregnancy.” My voice went low with embarrassment at the last part of my monologue. But from th
SKYLAR I stopped in my tracks as soon as I reached the parking lot. From afar, I could see my car. I could also see that positioned in front of my car door was a man. A man who had a familiar stature, and a magnetic pull. I walked towards him as if entranced, ignoring the feeling of deja vu that washed over me. Same scene, but different brothers, I thought once I reached and confirmed that it was indeed Logan. I knew it was him because despite the fact that they were completely identical, one had a sharper nose than the other. Logan had the sharper nose.I drew in a deep breath and cleared my throat in an attempt to get his attention as he was facing the car, his head leaning on the roof. He sharply turned to face me and flashed me a smile that made my heart give me a little flip in my chest. No, not today, I thought, immediately locking my heart in a cage. “Hi,” he murmured softly. His voice sent shots of electricity through my body. “What are you doing here? Are you stalking m
LUCASShocking, but upsetting. How could Jackson ask Skylar out? What crazy rubbish!Filled with rage, I sprang up and slapped my palm on my desk while looking for my Beta. He must be in the garden somewhere. Why would he have been interested in Skylar? I needed him to realize that by admiring my favorite, he was risking his Beta status.Logan was another one of those people I wanted to push away; I wanted to completely kill his feelings for Skylar. I had braced myself for the worst, knowing that persuading him to leave her alone wouldn't be easy. If he did not leave her alone, I had prepared myself to hit him hard.But I had to weigh my options and give Jackson advance warning. I watched him pick some flowers from the garden, and he hurriedly dropped the flower to come meet me as he heard some thuds approaching.I started, trying to calm the surging fury inside of me. "The girl I asked you to search for is exactly the same girl you're asking out on a date, am I right?"Despite bein
SKYLARI had asked Angela to bring me an ideal drink, and she had just left my office. I laid back on the chair, and memories of Lucas's arrival at the location where Logan and I were kissing each other, returned to me. Angela reappeared as I raised my head, followed by a few other female employees. While I gisted them about how things went, I made them sit. Even though I was upset at Lucas's interruption, I found it fun anyway. "That guy must be obsessed with ass because his hands didn't leave my butt when he claimed my lips nonstop," I remarked, driving us to both laugh out loud."Oddly enough, Logan's desires and mine were mutual. I really wanted him to smother me. He is a the bad guy, thus..." On an increasingly manly voice, I urged, "Come over here, dude, and satisfy me. Take my lips. You have me." Giggles erupted throughout the room as I mimicked a man speaking. Seeing other people around me enjoying a memorable scene, especially if it had just happened, made me feel better.
LUCASThe thought of meeting Freya once more flashed through my head as I headed back to my pack. Many people have been expecting the marriage for a while now. Many people wondered why I was taking so long to get engaged and assumed the engagement would have happened long ago. I kept that to myself since I understood that myself. It's true that there's a big difference between the people you actually love and the people you have to love. I thrust forward, stepping into my pack. I squinted a little as I noticed her in my doorway, as if she had just exited the room. She excitedly ran towards me as soon as we locked eyes.I wasn't even in the mood to talk to her, so I immediately felt like leaving the pack. I wasn't always in the mood most of the time. I mustered a little smile on my lips as she walked closer, and I hugged her. I didn't give her a pat on the back the way I usually would with girls I was in love with. Her mouth was watering as she led me into the room and sat down in
SKYLARA vital message. a necessity. My father and I had a necessary conversation that was too important to be had over the phone.I told Angela about it and made my way over to the pack. He would most likely be home, and if not, I could wait till the next day. Just as I stepped into the pack, my eyes shot to some otherworldly sight. Rubbing my eyes to make sure I saw what I was staring at, I knew this was true.I crept up on those figures, who were standing near the doorway: Lucas and Freya. When my eyes grew twice as clear, I felt a tiny smile form on my chin and realized that Freya was completely nude, standing behind Lucas.I was already seen. Otherwise, I would have left right away. Still, it was not too late for me to go. I was aware of their relationship. Why, therefore, was he still after me, considering that he truly loved her and that they had likely just had one sexual intercourse round? Was there really a hidden agenda here?Upon seeing her nude body next to Lucas, I had
LucasIt was taking longer to get home, and I began to worry about what had happened to Skylar. I urged Logan to drive much faster. "The children are in the car. We should be more cautious about how we accelerate." Logan told me."Skylar is home and in danger. We should be more cautious about how we handle the situation." I answered, and he let out a deep sigh before accelerating the car. I was considering urging him to slow down the car, but I had previously challenged him once. Something ruptured the tires just as we were about to drive down the next street, causing the control to veer unevenly.My eyes widened as I clutched the children closer to me. I closed my eyes, and Logan struggled to handle the car until we collided with a tree and came to a stop. Logan's head rested on the driving wheel, and I could feel myself fading away gradually. After what felt like a lifetime, I awoke from my daydream, and it appeared like Logan was also waking up. We clambered out of the car as ou
Skylar I dropped the call, and turned to face Freya, pretending I hadn't heard that she orchestrated the plot. I took a few long breaths and proceeded to sit right next to her, but the look on her face was unsettling. "Have the kids been found?" Freya inquired, but I simply giggled in an attempt to disregard the question. "I know the kids have been found." She spoke shortly after. "Then why did you have to ask me?" I responded, attempting to draw away from her, but she pushed closer, her eyes glistening with horror. "I could even sense that from your demeanor.""But why are you doing that? Freya, how dare you? I challenged her, knowing she was aware of my knowledge of her role in the kidnapping plot, but she reacted with a gruff giggle."I don't need a reason," she continued, her voice as calm and gloomy as possible. "I despise you with all my soul and would like you to experience pain.""You are not at my standard at all, so how do you hope to have great things?" I questioned her
LoganI expected Lucas to talk about notifying Skylar about this, but as I picked up my phone to call her, Lucas stopped me and showed me. He turned up the volume on the speaker, and we could all hear it perfectly. "Hello, Skylar. Are you fine?" I asked, trying to keep my comments as quiet as possible so she wouldn't suspect anything yet. "I am fine. I feel great. How is the situation now?" She inquired, her tone full of desire. "Skylar, guess what?" I questioned, about to tell what was on her mind, but I sensed she was either thinking we'd seen the kids and rescued them, or that we'd arrived and discovered they were dead."Skylar!! We found the kids!" Logan yelled, and she could hear the two boys behind her speaking quietly. She screamed with pleasure over the phone, and the sound deafened me as I pondered how she would have raised her voice from where she was. I pulled the phone back to my ears, taking it from the loud speaker as I spoke sincerely with her, glancing at Lucas the
Chapter 111Lucas's POVLogan did not ask me what I did to Jackson, but the look on his face indicated I had possibly killed him. We understood ourselves well, but we didn't relate. I'm sure he knows I killed my Beta to defuse the situation. Sparing someone that horrible would only wreak disaster. What tempted him to do that shit with Freya?The children trembled in the car, and their lips shook violently. They were exhausted from the bindings around their necks, and their lips appeared lame."Can you speak, Andrew? If you can't, don't say anything just yet. We genuinely care about you and do not want anything terrible to happen to you." Logan spoke from the driver's seat. "Yes, I can," Andrew exclaimed. I was ready to hear him out now. Logan turned his attention back to see the kids' expressions as they explained what they had in mind "It happened when Mum gave us to someone who would drive us to our destination as usual. And then we recognized the man driving us wasn't Lucas, but
SkylarMy stomach churned as I gripped the walls. I'd been feeling weak for quite some time, especially since Logan and Lucas had gone ahead to find the kids. I was also silently praying that nothing bad happened to them. I prayed they wouldn't get lost while trying to save those who had gotten lost. If there was one thing I was truly afraid of, it was my children being killed, harmed, or even lost in the hands of someone I did not know. The more I blamed myself for putting the children's lives in danger by failing to check who was driving, the weaker I felt. Dana met my gaze, and I nodded briefly. She rushed to meet me, dropping her head."I did not call you. I was just staring at you. Anyway, what are you up to?" I asked, sighing heavily. "Actually, Angela is about to leave, and I'd like to accompany her and make something for lunch. You haven't eaten in days, and it's definitely affecting you. Just be patient while we go and come back. We won't take too long," she replied, and m
FreyaWhen I realized how far I'd gotten with my dark arrangements, a big grin spread across my lips. The morons around me believe the deception, but just now, I was overjoyed that my plan had been fulfilled. I had no idea when mom entered the living room and stood in front of me, wondering if I had gone insane. "Why are you zoning out?" She questioned suspiciously. "Oh, mum, you're here," I murmured, rising to my feet before settling back into the chair. I was literally hyper, and I knew why. "I had an absolutely fantastic day. "Isn't it worth smiling at?" I inquired, a huge smile forming on my chin. She shrugged her shoulders and took a step nearer, focusing her eyes at me as if she suspected something else. "I love you so much and truly mean it. If there's anything I can do to assist you deal with the bitch, please let me know. I'll definitely help you," she murmured, but I stroked her back while she stroked mine."Huh?" She inquired again, possibly assuming I didn't recogniz
LucasWe argued for several minutes about who was to blame for our relationship's issues, but he never agreed. He had made some claims that were all lies!We ultimately arrived at where we would park our cars. I took a big breath as we both exited the car. Suddenly, we were working together again. Our current motivations had shifted. "Please keep your composure as we enter. Logan told me, "This is the main reason we came here." I nodded. We both pushed a smile to our faces to indicate that we were no longer annoyed with one other, at least for the time being.Then we crept into the place. The location that the signal sent us to. My sight shifted to the figures at a close range. The boys were truly tied up and crying."Oh my goodness!" Logan muttered, pressing his fists to his chest as he went to untie the children. I looked around to check if anyone was around, but I couldn't see anyone. I rushed into this haven, ensuring that my pistol was still in my pocket, in search of Jackson.
LoganI'd been on the road for a few minutes, and Lucas's question was nagging me. I wanted to offer him the most accurate answer, but do I even know what it is? "I'm actually surprised that you're asking me this," I remarked to him, reducing the car's acceleration now that we were so near to our destination. "I do not hate you, and I never have. When it comes to leaving you behind for an extended period of time, I believe you should also discuss yourself. You're too busy to join me for lunch or dinner. Wait, why would we even do that?""That is exactly my issue. You don't care about it, and you've did not make an effort to make this work between us.""Do not state this as if it were a girl-boy relationship. We should be close to one another. Of course. However, I believe that efforts to achieve this should come from both sides, not just myself. Don't you understand what I am saying?" I spoke back to him. "Of course. Skylar has always been busy, but taking her to lunch was somethin
LucasI walked home when I couldn't find the signal, as we had previously agreed. I took several calm breaths and returned home, where I listened to the toys transmitting radio waves. Skyler was there alongside me, but she didn't know how these things worked. "Did you find anything yet?" She inquired, her tone filled with concern and dread."Please be patient. Logan is also investigating, and we'll get to the bottom of this soon." I said, took a big breath, and ultimately received the signal. When she noticed my eyes widening, she realized I'd spotted something which had captured my attention.Logan entered as well, and that was the very first thing I mentioned."I found the signal!" I said, and a huge grin formed on his lips just as he was going to lean back on the sofa and take a break from a lot of hard work "We need to get going now. We don't have the time to waste." He spoke to me, and Skyler moved closer to us. I clutched her waist and planted a fast kiss on her chin. She smi
