"Joe." Dad smiled formally and balanced the stuff in one hand to free the other hand to shake Lawrence's, "And my daughter, Zoe."

"Nice to meet you both." He smiled. He was about to say more but his phone rang and upon seeing the caller ID he excused himself, "It's my new manager. Gotta take this. See you guys around."

And just like that he unlocked the apartment right next to ours and slipped in while talking on his phone.

"Maybe it will all be truly better." Dad sighed and turned to open the door of our apartment.

"Not bad." He commented and placed all the things from his hands on the kitchen island.

"Yeah. But not home." I sighed. I missed the place I grew up in, surrounded by woods. Where would I run when I needed to clear my mind, now?

"But it can be." Dad came up to me and held my hands like he used to do when I would fidget anxiously and he would stop me by holding my hands.

I nodded and hugged him, "Home is wherever you are." I told him and he hugged me back. I felt like I was

  • Fated to My Ex's Brother-In-Law   Chapter 126

    Xavier's POV"Where are you taking me?" Claire asked in a small voice but received no answer.The ride to my cabin was tense. My thoughts were jumbled up and she was fidgeting in her seat. A man was dead. I had mind-linked Luca to clean up that mess and find everything about that man as soon as possible. I wanted to know everything that was going on in the territories of these neighboring packs. Were my people in danger? What was Claire truly up to?When we pulled over, I silently led Claire inside and locked the door.My eyes stopped for a second at Zoe's portrait that I had painted here. The only reminder of the pure and destined emotions and passions that I had experienced."I missed this place. It has been so long since we were last here. Do you remember when you-" She started nostalgically but I interrupted her in a monotone,"Give me your purse." "Xavier?" She asked as if she was surprised that I was acting like this."Your purse. Now, Claire." I repeated.She opened her mouth

    Zoe's POV"Dad, the lunch is in the fridge, warm it up when you want." I called out as I grabbed my coat from the hanger."You know, you didn't have to wake up so early to cook breakfast and lunch. I'm the one who taught you how to cook. I am quite capable of cooking for myself." Dad came from his room and gave me a hug."I know. But it doesn't hurt that you need rest and I wanted to do something for you." I kissed his cheek and grabbed my purse, making sure that I had my phone and every important thing with me."You have done so much for me already. Best of luck for the internship." Dad smiled at me as I opened the door to leave."I haven't done half as much as you've done for me. And, thank you. I hope my new bosses are better than the ones I've had in the past." I smiled as I left the apartment."I'll pray for you." He said and locked the door after me.I took a deep breath and walked towards the elevator. I wanted to hope for the best but given my history, I was expecting the worst

    Xavier's POVI let Luca in and his worried voice sounded in my head through the mind-link,"Alpha, I'm afraid I've got seriously bad news." Got straight to the point.I let my hands through my hair and sighed. What was the worst that could happen after the way Claire had betrayed me?"Lay it on me, Luke." I ordered."Alpha. I found the identity of the man. He wasn't easy to find out, even for me. His name is David Malarkey. He works for the Alpha King's intelligence. He is a part of the elite squad working on questionable werewolf research, among other things.""How questionable are we talking about here? And what other things?" "Questionable like real wolf experiments. And other things like live witch experiments. That was the gist of what I was able to find out in this time frame. I am still on it. Looks like there is a huge dark pit of information where this came from. I've got a few guys working on it currently.""Luke, what was this man doing with Claire?""Alpha, I'm not exactly

    Zoe's POVI was led through the lobbies and a few sets of stairs. Everyone seemed to make way for the man walking beside me. I was right, he was someone important here. He walked with grace and confidence like he owned the place and it reminded me of the way Xavier used to mingle with his pack. He was kind, sweet, and genuine with those people. Until he decided I wasn't the one for him."Penny for your thoughts? You seem to be lost in your mind." My companion smiled charmingly at me and I looked at him like I had just realized that he was walking with me as well."Yes, sorry. First day at work. What were you saying?" I asked after politely apologizing."First day, huh? I knew I hadn't seen you before. Don't worry. You are dressed for the job and if you are here, know that you deserve to be here." He supported me and I appreciated his words."Thank you." I nodded grateful for his words."You do know where you are right?" He leaned in conspiratorily and I got a whiff of his pinewood-sce

    Xavier's POVI was overwhelmed by the thoughts of things Claire did. My Claire.Had she always been capable of this atrocities and I had been the blind one?But one thing I couldn't understand was that, why did she do it? What was the end goal? I had gone through the rest of the data, skipping past the rest of the video logs.I found no reasoning or the name of any authorities. Before taking any further steps I needed to figure out why had Claire done all this. And more importantly why was she back because after overhering her acquaintance, I was sure that she did not return just because she missed me.I walked back to the basement where I had her locked up.I noticed the empty chair that I had cuffed her to and panicked a little. "What the-" Something hit my head, hard, and I stumbled looking behind me."Claire?" I growled."I'm sorry, Xavier." She didn't sound apologetic when she threw a liquid at me that burned making me growl in pain on my left shoulder that I had used to protect

    Zoe's POVAs it turned out, Laura Gates was the assisstent manager that I was supposed to intern for. All she told me was that I had been referred by a close friend and she hoped that I lived up to the refrence. I wondered how could the young Angelina be friends with the assisstent manager of the Golden Bells company. I guessed that I'd just ask her later. After all, we lived on the same floor now.Laura had asked Misha to give me a general tour of the event and everything that was expected of me before meeting her to see the primary client."So, now you tell me what you remember of everything that I told you." Misha stood with his hand on his hips waiting for my response after he had given me an hour-long tour."Alright," I took a deep breath and started counting on my fingers, "Tell me where I'm wrong." I asked and he nodded for me to resume."We are at the pack house of the Golden Eclipse Pack because Alpha's middle sister is getting married in a month." Mished nodded and urged me

    Spike's POVI let Xavier block himself out but then he returned in my head.'What? You know you can't handle watching her get hurt. That's why you gave the reigns to me. What's with the return?' I asked annoyed."I need to hear this. I have to know this." He simply said.'Fine. I'll tell you the gist of it later. Now go back. You'll slow me down.' I said."I won't. I'll just be here. Do what needs to be done. I trust you. I should have trusted you all along." He confessed and I felt bad for him for the first time in a while. No matter what, no wolf deserve to be betrayed by their chosen mate the way Devereux did to Xavier.'Just feel free to block out if it gets too much.' I said before focusing on the tied up woman in front of me.~It had been a few long hours of me asking as nicely as I could before I got down to turly awful methods but all I had recieved in return was Lilac's fearful eyes combined with her vicious smirk.She was terrified of someone worse than me and she was doing

    Zoe's POV"Misha, where are the plan reports?" Laura suddenly raised her head from the papers in her hands and asked Misha who had his hands full of fabrics of various colors and textures."Uh, what plan reports?" Misha replied confused."The plan reports! The ones Rory said she needed by the end of the day?" Laura reminded."Uh, no one said anything about any reports to me." Misha shrugged."Oh no. Don't tell me no one even brought them here." Laura drew circles on her temple with her fingers."When is Rory getting here?" Misha asked."In a couple of hours." Laura answered."Then why are you worrying? Zoe can go get the reports by that time. Where are they?" Misha asked and I readily agreed to help, "Yeah. I'll get'em." I stood up."You are a lifesaver, Zoe." Laura sighed in relief and told, "The reports are in the study on the second third floor of the mansion. The room belongs to Miranda. She wanted to see the progress and had asked for the reports to be sent there. The door is oakw
