"Leah, five minutes I'm away smoking with Troy and you came back with a surprise on your side. I thought we discussed this when you were six when I particularly warned you not to pick up strays on the side of the road."

Jalin took a glance at Finn, who was staying in bed, surrounded by nurses.

Finn got nervous when he saw Jalin. I had to hold his hands to make him stop trembling.

I didn't think he was afraid of Jalin, who looked perfectly harmless to anyone. I guessed it had something to do with the uniform that Jalin was wearing.

I noticed that Finn got nervous whenever he saw people in military uniform.

"How are you going to explain this to Lucian, may I ask?" Jalin pointed at Finn and asked me.

"He doesn't have to know," I mumbled.

"Oh, great." Jalin said, "Let me know if your plan is going to work. And please do call me when he finds out that there's a man living in his beloved sister's bedroom. I want to see the look on his face."

"Jalin... please..."

    Leah's POV After I heard Mr. Carson's speech, my spirit immediately hit the rock bottom. The word "Lucas" was like an invisible blanket, covering the beautiful sunshine above my head, and smothering me to death. But as soon as I thought of the kiss with Finn last night, I became cheerful, "Don't worry about me, Mr. Carson. I know it's a bit faster than usual, but that's just how it works. As regards my divorce, I'll find a way for Lucas to sign the papers. Now, I want you to prepare a champion breakfast for me and Finn. After breakfast, he'll go to work with me!" "Yes, Miss Leah." Mr. Carson raised both of his eyebrows. I winked at him and returned to my bedroom. To my surprise, Finn was gone. He wasn't on the bed. There were only his clothes and some bandages. Then, I heard the sound of water splashing coming from downstairs. I opened the French window and stepped onto the balcony and leaned forward, I saw Fin swimming in the swimming pool downstairs. As he glided through t

    Leah's POV "Finn... Stop..." I whispered. Hearing my voice, he stopped what he was doing and put me back on the ground. Then, he pulled himself out of the swimming pool, wrapped himself with a towel, and sat on the bench far away from me. When I finally managed to get back on my feet and approached him, I found that he was trembling. "I'm sorry..." He apologized in a robotic voice with his head tilted to the side. The man, who gave me the best orgasm I had ever had, didn't even want to look at me. I sat next to him and said, "Finn, what happened to you? Why are you so afraid of me? You know that I'm not one of those bad people who wants to hurt you. You don't have to do anything to please me because of fear. I just want to help you, but I can't help you if you don't let me." Finn didn't say a word. His eyes were empty again. I knew he had shut himself down again. Whenever I want to talk to him, he refuses to listen. What's going on? I became agitated. Have I ever done anythin

    Jalin's POV "I've got bad news for you, Alpha," I said after I took my seat in the driver's seat. Just like his Father, His Majesty the Lycan King, Lucian didn't reveal his thoughts on his face. I spent over 30 years with that man and I could barely tell if he was in a good mood or a bad mood. But on that day, he seemed to be quite calm after he met Laura in the hospital. He brought him flowers. He made her smile. He let her lean over his shoulder. He stroked her hair gently like he was petting a small wounded animal. And he mumbled something to her ear to make her laugh out loud. So far so good. So, this was the perfect timing for me to sway in and spoil his perfect morning. I took a glance at him in the mirror and met his eyes. He looked perfectly calm, absentmindedly sniffing the scent of roses and Laura on the tips of his fingers. Poor thing. He didn't realize how bad this piece of news was going to be. "Before I say anything, you have to promise that you won't yell at me

    Leah's POV "Miss Leah, your car is ready," Mr. Carson said. "Alpha specifically asked me to prepare this car for your first day of work." I looked at the red Ferrari 250 GTO in front of me and frowned. "Mr. Carson, I can't really show up at work by driving this car. It looks so flameboyant and I don't want to attract any unwanted attention. Do you have something low profile?" "It's either this or the Lamborghini Huracán that Alpha gave you as a present the other day." Mr. Carson shrugged. No Lamborghini. Definitely not the Lamborghini. I thought to myself. "What's the situation here?" Troy Greer, my Father's Head of Security, showed up. He was in a sleek, well-pressed uniform and looked like the contract model on an army recruitment poster. Finn withdrew as soon as he saw Troy. He had a phobia of uniforms. "What kind of car do you drive?" I asked Troy. "An Audi R8, Miss Lewyn." Troy replied. "Cool. Can I borrow it for a few days?" I asked. "I promise to return to you unscratc

    Leah's POV Sunshine poured into the car and plated everything in gold. Finn stared at me like he was staring out at the horizon. The morning sky was clear, with a dash of clouds. It was a tranquil backdrop to the chaos of the streets as well as the emotions inside the car. As I sat on the edge of the seat, my kneel buckled. I couldn't help but feel torn. I knew my feelings for this man. He was my second chance and there was no question about that. But the pull of everything else, including the difference in social status and the complexity of my marital status, were growing stronger by the minute. I had worked so hard all my life to meet the perfect man in my life, and now it was slipping through my fingers, just like that. I glanced over at Finn. The soft glow of sunshine cast a halo around his features. He was everything that I had ever wanted as a mate and a lifetime partner. And the thought of leaving him behind was breaking my heart. I had always been a dreamer of love, but

    Leah's POV We were flying. As Darren revved the engine, I felt the power of the motorbike beneath me. A wave of adrenaline rushed through my body. The wind whipped past me, tugging at my Armani suit as the bike roared and accelerated down the road. The scenery around me became a blur as we flew past. It was the first time I felt my world literally reduced to a blur of colors and shapes. I mean, I had ridden a horse before, but riding on Torrent was completely different from riding Darren. No. I mean riding along with Darren on a bike. I gripped Darren's waist tightly. My body tensed with fear. I could feel my heart pounding against his back, with my breath coming in quick gasps. But despite my fear, I felt that Darren was of great confidence and control of a fast-moving bike. The road stretched out before us like a ribbon, and he navigated every turn and curve with ease. For a moment, I felt that we had become part of the bike. The roar of the engine filled my ears, drowning out

    Leah's POV "The stripper guy?" Gean stared at me in surprise. "I'll explain it to you later," I said to Gean while walking into the building. After swiping my card on the elevator control panel, the private elevator opened in front of me. I walked in with Jalin and Gean following me. The door shut in front of us and the elevator started to move up steadily and fast. If it wasn't for the increasing number on the electronic panel, I wouldn't even tell you that the elevator was climbing to the 70th floor within 30 seconds. I broke the silence, "I let Finn go back to Sheridan Club." "Why did you do that?" Jalin raised his eyebrows. "Sak Doyle, the club owner, is his brother. He wants to stay with his brother. So I let him go," I said. There was a bitter taste in my mouth when I actually said these words. A crazy thought suddenly struck me - If I ran to the Sheridan Club right now, maybe I could still take Finn back. If Sak dared to stop me, I could punch him in the nose and take

    Leah's POV "Leah, you're being a very naughty girl," Jalin whispered while looking directly into my eyes. The expression in his eyes was as cold and sharp as surgical knives. I tried to move my arms, but I couldn't, because my wrists were locked by his hand. I panicked and struggled because the wolf in me panicked as well. Like every time she screwed up something, she immediately backed off and let me take over. "Let go of me..." I whispered, trying to take back my arms from his grip. Jalin recognized the human sanity in my voice but still refused to let go of my arms. He tilted his head and asked in a cold, steady voice, "Have you calmed down? Are you ready to talk?" I avoided his inquiring eyes by turning my head away, biting my lips in shame, and nodding slightly. Jalin let go of my arms and sat on the side of the sofa. I tried to climb up, but my head was spinning and the next thing I realized, I was leaning against his shoulder. He sighed and wrapped his arm around my s

    Leah's POVI despise the darkness. Ever since I was a little girl, I've had a phobia of dark, narrow places.“Leah, are you okay?” Finn turned back, concern etched on his face."I... I don't know, Finn. Something's wrong," I whispered, feeling light-headed and disoriented."Can you walk? Do you need me to carry you?" he asked, already moving towards me. Before I could respond, he had scooped me up and slung me over his back.At that moment, the world spun chaotically around me."Hang in there," Finn urged, picking up his pace. "We’ll be there soon."Even as my head swam, my mind raced uncontrollably. Anxiety gripped me, and I couldn't shake it off. Was it because of the pregnancy? I didn't know. I had never felt anything like this before, but then again, I had never been in such a dire situation either.My breathing grew labored, and I clenched my fists. Finn noticed and reassured me, “We’re almost there, Leah. Stay with me.”I shut my eyes tightly. I had never felt so vulnerable and

    Gean's POVMy life is nothing short of tragic. I think that’s a fair assessment. Loving men is apparently a capital offense in our pack. They shunned me like I was a plague-ridden rat, disregarding every talent I had to offer.But I’m a problem solver. I work with diverse clients, providing them expert solutions. To truly excel, you need a personal touch and influential connections. And what could be more influential than a prodigal son from a Lycan family?I met Leo during his time in medical school. He was as queer as a three-dollar bill back then and convinced he had some mysterious ailment. He’d lock himself away in the lab for weeks, only to emerge with a new potion, claiming he’d discovered the cure. He’d down it and promptly pass out, only to wake up queerer than ever.It took a lot of persuading to convince him that there was nothing wrong with us. I can be very persuasive, if you catch my drift. One morning, he woke up in my arms and said, “Gean, I think I’ve found my solutio

    Leah's POV"You're still in love with him. Love clouds your judgment. He's going to strangle you and your cub to death, but you still want to flee with him. I can't let this madness continue. It's time to put an end to it," my wolf said, her voice calm in my mind."If you let him out, I will hate you for the rest of my life!" I screamed."I don't care," her voice was unwavering. "You'll hate me for a while. But eventually, you'll make peace with it. Men come and go, but you're stuck with me.""You're impossible! He's the father of my baby!" I shouted. "You will make my baby fatherless!"At that moment, Finn shifted into human form. He picked up the clothes from the ground and put them on piece by piece.As he dressed, he said, "Leah, I know you're there. I know you can hear me. You deserve the truth, and now I'm telling you. My entire life, I've been used and exploited. My blood was altered, my muscles torn and reassembled. Sak forced me to stay with you, Jalin used Sak to make me ple

    Leah's POVMy father? This was the second time someone had mentioned his involvement in the enhancement project. Yet, that still didn't validate Leo's outrageous claims."The lab was destroyed later," Sak continued."What happened?" I asked, my curiosity piqued."It was located at the far end of the old Huffner Bridge. When Mick set fire to the bridge, the lab caught fire and burned down."Mick Toussaint. He was just a teenager back then. He set the bridge ablaze and was later sent to rehab by his father, the late Alpha Dire. The past was a jumble of fragmented events, impossible to piece together fully."The next time I saw Finn was at the slave market," Sak went on. "I recognized him immediately because of the scars on his chest. I bought him and took him home, giving him food and shelter. I didn't want him working in the club, but the Blazebite Prowlers kept causing trouble. When you came to my club, I had to push Finn out to keep them away. With your influence, they wouldn't dare

    Leah's POV"Take off your clothes," he commanded, his voice low, yet imbued with undeniable authority.Never in my life had I been forced to do anything, making his commanding tone both foreign and strangely tantalizing."You heard me, Leah," Finn repeated, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine. "I want you. Right here, right now.""Finn, we need to talk," I said, my voice wavering.Finn roared, his hands gripping my shoulders with a fierce, almost desperate strength. "I don't want to talk," he snarled. "I want you to take off your clothes right now. Don’t make me do it for you. You're not the Lycan King's daughter to me. You're my woman. And I want my woman to obey..."I didn't wait for him to finish. With a deliberate, almost defiant motion, I tilted my head and slowly unbuttoned my blouse.Finn’s gaze fixated on my plump breasts and the swelling curve of my belly, his expression shifting to one of disbelief."I'm pregnant, Finn," I said, my vo

    Lucas' POVI was stunned. Completely paralyzed.When my deceased Beta, Basil, was alive, I had promised to look after his sister. If he were here now, he might be able to forgive me for the way I'd treated her.I rose, facing Josephine. "You're free to go now. Jorah will be in touch. Don't ever set foot in my pack again."Josephine lifted her head, defiant. "There won't be a next time, Alpha Lucas."After she left, I felt a gnawing unease settle deep within me. Why did Josephine's visit bother me so much? Perhaps it was because she was pregnant.I needed to be with Leah. The doctor's orders be damned—I had to go to her now.Just as I was about to leave, Gean Lee walked back in, casually wiping his hands with a handkerchief, as calm as ever."So?" I demanded."His Highness Leonard is asleep now," he said, placing a small, switch-like device on the table."And what's that?" I asked, frowning."It's a microchip. He had it implanted under his skin to communicate with his prototype soldier

    Lucas' POV"This is Gean Lee. He's Leah's assistant," Jorah introduced him.I sized Gean up, feeling an unexpected wave of discomfort. It unsettled me that Leah worked so closely with someone who looked this good."Alpha Lucas, it's a pleasure to finally meet you," Gean said, bowing slightly."I need you to talk to a deranged telepathic prince," I explained. "He’s imprisoned, yet he’s still controlling other werewolves. I need you to get him to stop without hurting him, since the King plans to deal with his mind later.""Is that all, Alpha Lucas?" Gean asked, his voice soothing. I began to see why Leah liked having him around. There was something calming about him."No, there's one more thing. I want you to resign from UniHeal and come work for me."Gean remained unflustered. "One thing at a time, Alpha Lucas," he said with another bow before walking away.Jorah's annoyance was evident once Gean had left. "You can't just take everyone away from Miss Lewyn and make them work for you."

    Leah's POVLucas wrestled the gun from Lester’s hand, aiming it at him."No!" Darren shoved Lucas’s arm, causing the bullet to hit a nearby chair instead."What the fuck are you doing, Swanson?! That freak’s going to kill us!" Lucas yelled."That freak is my brother!" Darren cried, a raw anguish in his voice.Lucas lowered the gun, letting it clatter to the floor. Despite Lester's desperate struggles, my wolf refused to relent. Darren, with tears streaming down his face, approached me."Leah, let go of him," Darren pleaded.My wolf, still in fight mode, snarled, but Darren wasn’t deterred. He met my gaze with a calm, steady stare. "Let go of my brother, Leah," he whispered, tears choking his voice.Finally, my wolf released Lester. Blood gushed from his neck as he choked, drowning in his own fluids."I'm sorry, brother. It should have been me," Darren whispered, collapsing beside him.Lester tried to speak, his mouth forming silent words. Darren leaned close, listening. Whatever was s

In my silence, the soldier continued, "His Majesty mentioned something to Alpha Lucas about a guy named Lester Swanson."Darren's brother? Why would my father mention him?"What did he say?" I asked, dreading the answer."He said Leo did something to him, so he would have to kill his brother Darren Swanson," the soldier replied, looking confused.What?!"Where’s Lucas now?" I demanded."Alpha has already gone to the airport to stop Lester Swanson. He didn’t want you to know. He wants you to go back to the lake house and wait for him.""Go fetch me a car right now," I commanded."Where are you going, Miss Lewyn?" the soldier asked, perplexed."I need to get to the airport before everyone gets killed," I said, urgency in my voice.As I arrived at the airport, a barricade manned by soldiers greeted me."What’s going on?"
