James. We sat in the office, wondering what our next move would be. We had nothing to work with and nowhere to start. "We need to tell Uncle Caleb," I told Paul, and he looked at me worried. We both felt ashamed that this magnitude of attack happened right under our noses. "They trusted us with the island," he said, voicing my worries, and I nodded. "We need all the help we can get on this, Paul. Uncle Caleb is the best investigator I know." I told him, and he nodded. "My father, too," William said, and I agreed. "Let's go home," I told my brother, and he stood up. I told William and Dwayne to start the investigation while Paul and I left for the mansion to break the news to uncle Caleb. I was sure Emma had told her father, but we needed to report to him officially. While Paul drove, I thought of something important. "You know what this means, right?" I told my brother, and he nodded. "How can we fight a war without ammunition? Whoever we are up against decided to cripple
James Paul and I sat in the home office at the mansion to coordinate things. Lyle still needs to solve the signal jammers, but William has sent the troops to Augustine to get the weapons. We did not know how long it would take because we were purchasing from a black market, so there won't be paper trails linking to us. The weapons would be more expensive that way, but our enemies would not know of it. I wondered what Olivia was doing at the holiday house. With the network gone, there was a possibility she would panic. I doubt she would know to come to the mansion. It was late in the afternoon, and Paul and I were still handling matters when Uncle Caleb walked in. "Update," he said and sat on the couch. He was very calm, and I knew it was because he had the experience, but I doubted what they faced with Regan was of this magnitude. Our entire island was in jeopardy, and the enemies had yet to reach out to us. The television was permanently on WCTV, so we could listen to thei
James. Paul left for Eastwood while I waited for Olivia to be brought to the Mansion. I did not know how I would look at her. I knew what I was about to do was unfair and wrong. How could uncle Caleb expect me to treat a woman I cared about like this? I thought of her fears, and it baffled me that she was right. There was a possibility that she would see our relationship in a different light after this. "They are here, Alpha. Should we let her go to your room, or should we bring her to your office?" Axel said, and I felt like shit. He had referred to her as a suspect. "Bring her to my office. She shouldn't know she is being monitored," I told Axel and closed the mind link connection. Soon, Olivia entered my office looking worried. She rushed to me and hugged me. I stood up so I could hold her properly. Her eyes were puffy, which indicated she had been crying. "I am glad you are alright," She said, holding onto me tightly. "I saw the news; the network was gone. I was afraid you
James. I called William to prep a helicopter that would take me to Eastwood. My heart was heavy about what I wanted to do. I was conflicted, but I knew I had to follow protocol. Arresting Chloe will mean whoever is setting her up will not be able to do any more damage in her name. Olivia sat up in bed and watched me as I dressed up. "Where are you going?" She asked, and I looked at her while buttoning my shirt. I felt like shit to have suspected her in the first place. I was so glad she did not know. I went to her and kissed her. She returned the kiss, and I could smell her fear. I bent to kiss her neck where my mark would rest one day, and sucked on the skin gently. A moan escaped her lips and I pulled away. "I am off to Eastwood to see Chloe and Paul. I will be back. I promise I am not going to war," I assured her, and she sighed with relief. I knew she was afraid, and it was normal for her to feel that way after all I had told her. "Are you sure you don't want me to com
James, We arrived at the base, and Chloe refused to speak to me. Dwayne left us immediately and did not say a word. What Chloe had told him when he challenged David hurt him. I did not want to get involved because the current situation was dire. "The cell service is back up," Paul finally said, checking his phone as we alighted the vehicle that brought us to the base. I was grateful to uncle Caleb for keeping his promise. The guards came out to receive Chloe, and I wondered who had informed them we would be bringing her in. I remembered the news Helicopter in Eastwood and swore under my breath. "We will be handling this one," I told the kappa guard, and he saluted us and led his team away. Paul, William and I took Chloe to my office and released her cuffs. I decided to let Paul talk to her because, from the look on her face, she regarded me as her enemy, and I could not blame her for it. I walked out of the office and called my Uncle to thank him and find out if he has left for
James I returned home and found Olivia looking troubled. I had been away for long hours. I did not plan that Chloe's sentencing would happen immediately after we returned. The moment I entered the room, she came to me and hugged me. She placed her head against my chest and held me tight. I fought my tears. I had just sentenced my sister to prison. As things were, only Paul and I believed she might be innocent. "It was all over the news, James. They showed when you were walking her to the helicopter. People are outraged, James. They are asking for her head. There is no way she did this. I think she was set up. You should not believe it. Chloe won't do any of this. She hates me, but she loves you and Paul," She said, defending my sister, and I was shocked she would be on Chloe's side, after all that Chloe had done to her. If only Chloe knew that Olivia believed she was innocent. "You should have postponed the trial," She said and looked at me. I could not speak, so I walked away
James I returned home that night with fear and a deep resolve. We found that Eastwood had fallen on our way back home. Of course, it would fall. There was no leader in Eastwood; it would be easy for Caspian to take over. Our chances of winning were slim, but I was optimistic. I decided I would not tell Olivia my plans to officially cancel my engagement with Emily and go ahead and marry her until I returned. Knowing I have to come home to her would motivate me to come home alive. I entered my room, and she wasn't there, yet her scent was everywhere. I did not know what to do, so I decided I would shower before searching for her. I took off my clothes and entered the bathroom. I was shocked and heartbroken to find Olivia under the shower in tears. She was crying bitterly. I rushed to her and held her. We sat under the shower, and she wept bitterly, holding me. I did not need to guess why she was sad. "It is a suicide mission, James. Find another way. Negotiate and buy time
IN THE PRESENT ( please read chapter one to refresh your memory) James, Olivia and I spent the entire day together, and soon it was time for her to leave. It was hard letting her go to Dome, but I knew it would be wrong to stop her from visiting her mother, who was ill.I slept alone, afraid of what will happen the next day. While we prepared for war, I visited Chloe in prison, hoping she could give us something we could use against Caspian. When the broadcast on Capsian and Olivia aired, I felt betrayed. I thought she would spend time with her mother, but she was lying. Olivia had finished her job and went to be with her lover. To think Uncle Caleb and Chloe were right about her made me sick. I bared my heart and soul to her, and she left me for Caspian. After viewing the broadcast, I returned to Paul and Chloe, still distraught. How could I tell my sister that she was right about Olivia? How could Iface her? Why did I let my guard down? One of the reasons I warmed up
