"It was more than wonderful," she answered, and I chuckled."Good for you; now come let me take you to your room," I said, and she followed me."This is the twin's room; they will have plenty of questions for you tomorrow. I told them then that you went out, but will see them tomorrow," I said while leading her to her room."You know I love messing with them, so that means tomorrow will be fun.""Have you eaten? Should I make you something real quick?"She shook her head and said, "No, we stopped at a restaurant and had some steak."I nodded. "Okay, let's get to your room then."We got to her room, and I opened the door and then went in."I will let you get settled in, then we will talk tomorrow," I said, and I was about to close the door when she called my name."Alex, wait, do you have a minute?" She asked, then sat down on the bed.I looked at her in surprise, then nodded, "Of course."I stepped back in and closed the door. She sat down."Do you mind sitting?" She asked, then smile
Hayden and Lucien started to laugh, but Claire whispered, "I will hurt you," and started stuffing food in her mouth.I stuck out my tongue, but then Lily shouted, "That is bad, Mom.""Sorry, princess, it won't happen again," I apologized. I forgot that both of them were here."Serves you right," Claire whispered."I thought we were not supposed to talk while we ate; that is what you and Dad say all the time," Elijah whispered to me, but most people heard him."Yes, Darling. We are just happy to see Aunt Claire, but no other person will talk again," he said while Claire gave me a look. It looks like the children will be teaching us manners today. I smiled at them then started to eat, and after a while, we finished eating. They took the plates to the sink, and I helped the servants clear the table, even though I could feel Hayden's disapproving eyes following me."Time for school. Go get your bag," I said, and they ran inside to get them from the table.I turned back to the table. They
Hayden povMy phone rang, and Lexie turned around since her back was to my front and opened her eyes."Ignore it and go back to sleep," I said, and I started rubbing her sides. She signed, then closed her eyes and placed her head on my heart, then went back to sleep. The phone rang two more times, and it stopped.Jim must have taken a hint and stopped calling since I was not picking up. We had only spoken briefly before I took Lex to lunch. While she was doing her makeup, I rushed out and had a few words with him, and I promised to call him back later to find out if he found anything more. But we came back from that amazing lunch. I did not have any time because we went from feeding the twins, doing their homework and dishes, and then putting them to bed, but then she put her hand on me, and we rushed into bed, falling asleep afterwardI carefully lifted her head and placed it on the pillow, then sat up and quietly left the room with my laptop. I opene
Alex's pov"Bye, mommy and mommy!" the twins shouted."Bye, Lily and Elijah." We answered and watched them run inside the school while Finn and Jax were following them.Hayden started the car while I was still looking at their school."Do you think it is a good idea to have Peter guard me? Just Josh is fine. I can take care of myself, and I don't want him there when me and his mom start trading insults."Hayden shrugged. "He volunteered when I was talking about it with Lucien; I did not force him or even ask him, and I even told him what could happen in there, including throwing insults, and he says that he can handle it."I face-palmed myself. "You don't understand." was all I replied to him because he truly did not understand."No, you are the one thinking that something will go wrong, but I'm sure it won't."I did not say another word; I was just busy staring at our pack members when we stopped in front of the arena, and He kissed me."Have a nice day," h
I screamed and rushed to them, shaking them both."Elijah, Lily, get up," I said, but they did not answer; instead, they kept convulsing and holding their hearts."Help, help!" I screamed, lifting Lily.Peter, Jax, and Josh rushed in immediately, eyes wide."Help me! Something is wrong with the twins!" I screamed without waiting for them to ask me what happened."Call Doctor Joel and Beta Lucien." Josh barked and took Lily from me, and Jax lifted Elijah from the bed, then broke into a run.I tried to follow them, but Peter and Finn pulled me back."Why are you holding me? Let me go now!" I screamed, trying to twist out of their hold."You are not dressed, Luna. Josh and Jax have taken them to the hospital; nothing will happen to them. So get dressed.""I don't care about dressing, my..." I swallowed the remaining words when I looked at myself. I was wearing tiny shorts and my bra. My wrapper must have fallen off when I was screaming. But I did not have to start dressing while my twins
I sat down, counting the minutes waiting for them to get in here because I wanted to have my twins back already.The door opened, and Hayden entered, followed by a blonde woman, then Lucien. The woman walked closer and looked at me like she was trying to decipher me. She was insanely tall, maybe older than me, but not that old, and her eyeballs were all white with no black in them. I tried to look closely to see if it was a contact, but then I caught myself."It is not contacts, that's my original eye color, and you must be Luna Alex," she said, stretching out her hand."Yes, and you must be the seer," I replied, taking her hand."Yes, I am, and my name is Heaven; I already met your mate."I nodded. "Thank you for coming at this hour of the night to help us.""It's no longer night; it's already one in the morning. Those are the kids, right?" She asked and pointed at where the kids were.I nodded. "Yes."She started to go to them, then I followed her, and so did Hayden. He stood beside
Hayden pov"Where is Lucien?" I asked Peter, and immediately I came out of the hospital."At your office, he is going through all the surveillance cameras, but there seems to be a problem," he said."What problem?" I asked him immediately because I did not want any excuses; I just wanted to tear anyone who ever did this lamb by limb."He did not say, and I can't question him," Peter replied.With anger coursing through my body, I broke into a run. Arriving at my office, I stood outside and listened to Lucien barking orders."Someone tampered with the camera; among the servants, get all of them to the underground cell and get Melinda. I will inform the Alpha, and we will join you guys at the cell.""The Alpha is here. No need to call me," I said, opening the door.Lucien dropped the phone and stood up from my seat. "Alpha Hayden, I was about to call you.""I know. What have you learned?" I said, and the guard bowed and ran out."Come see for yourself," he sai
Cecelia povAna was sitting down, sipping her drink, and going through a document, but I was walking around as if I could die, and I could die if Hayden found out what I did. He was suddenly so protective of her since he found her again. "Sit down and be calm; nothing is going to happen. You are giving me a headache," she said, rolling her eyes."Sit down? Be calm?" I asked her, making sure I mimicked her voice to show her how ridiculous it sounded. "I can't sit down or be calm because I might lose my head anytime soon.""You wouldn't, and if you are so afraid of losing it, why would you then plan something like that without allies that could help you?""Um.....h..... I did not know that there were other people interested in this too. You look like you would not hurt a fly and only yell at it, so I did not think that you would approve of my plan."She smiled and stood up. "I will take that as a compliment. It is better than being called a psychotic killer. But a
Hayden POVToday was the day of the general meeting. Since my return two days ago, I have spent it with my twins, organizing every piece of evidence that I had. Compiling the conversation between Abel and Ana, I could still see the look of horror on her face when I pushed Abel out of the car; she looked like she had seen a ghost.No one could escape, as I made sure the boundaries were guarded, and I confirmed that Peter was truly my uncle's son. I told my father about it this morning, and I had to hold him down from rushing to his brother's house.I also told Josh what his father had done and that Peter was his brother. He had been working with me for a long time, so he deserved that much respect.My twin's birthday was coming in a few months, and I could not wait to get all this over and start a new phase with my family."Ready," I said to Alex.She nodded. "More than ever."I grabbed her hand and then pressed the elevator. We had left the twins at home wit
"Good morning, soldiers," I said while standing in front of them."Good morning, Alpha," They greeted."Tomorrow, we will save our pack. This is one of the most important missions in our lives, so there is no room for mistakes everywhere. Do you understand?""Yes, alpha.""Good. What I want is your excellence amongst others. No mistakes. Anyone who leaks any information here will die in my hands in the worst way possible. Now let us start."Jim had told him to come to the house; it was near the water. He initially disagreed and gave him another location with the excuse that he could be walking into an ambush. Jim used the same excuse for him, telling him that he might decide to kill him and take every dollar in his account. "The location is the house in the forest. It is not afflicted to any of us, and although he thinks he is smart, we are smarter."I pointed at the hidden cameras that had picked up a picture of a middle-aged woman who came to look around, using detectors and everyt
Hayden pov After what we had last night, I had slept off but was woken up by the sound of my phone ringing. It was on the bed stand, but Alex was using my hand as a pillow, and I did not want to wake her up. I looked at the clock, and it was midnight. But then my phone started to ring again. She must have been disturbed by the noise because she turned and moved away from my hand.I tiptoed off the bed and grabbed my phone, then headed to the bathroom after looking around."This better be important, Jim?" I said immediately that I had picked it."Good evening, Alpha. I am calling because you said to call you and to never act on my command.""And?""The dealer messaged me. He says that he has something to do next week and decided to get the job done tomorrow, so I should get him money ready by tomorrow.""What did you tell him?""Nothing. He just sent me the message a few minutes ago. Also, there's a feature in my laptops that makes messages I have rea
Alex povWe arrived on our private plane to Paris. This was my first time in Paris, and I was so excited. It is going to be a fun experience for me. I brought out my phone, then found the article about Paris I had downloaded, because I wanted to have a better knowledge of where we were going and where we would be visiting after we had rested well.My interest was piqued when I saw a picture of the Eiffel Tower. We will do that.We were taken to our hotel room by a limousine.The hotel NH Paris Gare de l'Est was famous for its exquisite view and its transport convenience, and I will go see it too.The fact that it was closer to the Eiffel Tower, the train station, and the airport made it an exciting place for tourists and visitors.After we checked into one of the biggest hotels in Paris, which was owned by Hayden, We collected the key to our hotel room, while the baggage porters helped us carry our bags into our room.I did not waste time showering; he want
Josh povAs soon as Hayden left, I sat down with Lex, watching her rummage through the wardrobe.She had come to the kitchen, where I was lounging and waiting for them to finish cooking, and dragged me to her room."I need you to help me choose the perfect lingerie to seduce Hayden when he comes back.""Wouldn't Hayden kill me for looking at you?""He won't know unless you tell him, and what he does not know would not kill him. Now come with me."I followed her to the room, but all I wanted was to call Cecelia. I knew that she was in the Alpha's whatever, but I liked her.I remember how beautiful she looked from the back in the tub. She looked like a princess, so I pulled off my clothes and joined her in the tub."What are you doing?" She had asked me."Bathing, Isn't it obvious?" I asked."I thought you said that there was no reason for you to do that, as you will be leaving soon.""I changed my mind," I said, and then I started washing her hair for her."Okay,
Alex povI felt someone tapping me, and I groaned, then buried my face in the bed. It must already be time for us to leave, but I had stayed all night watching K-drama recommendations because I wanted to sleep more.It had started with Hayden bringing his laptop to bed when I said that I did not want to be alone in the room while he typed. He had agreed, but then the noise from his typing would not let me sleep."Can't you put down that laptop? I can't seem to sleep because of what you are typing." "I can't, but I can get out of bed; I will just be in the living room. You can call me if you need me."I shook my head, then placed my head on his chest. He likes to say that I have been needy these past few days.I had told him that since I almost died, I now knew what I was missing, and he started laughing.I stayed curled up at his side while he worked, but then I saw that it was disturbing him, just that he did not only tell me that he could not type comfor
Finn Hallmark povI had finished making a few calls in my study and learned that Donovan was not giving up and that he was still trying to finish up in the few days that they gave him. I did not know what he thought he was doing, but that bastard was starting to make me angry, and it looked like I would get rid of him."Is there a way that you guys could get him to leave the deal for me? You know how much I give you for everything that you do for me, right?""I know that Finn, but there is nothing that I have not tried. I sent you a picture of the deal too, and you could not find any clause that would make anyone take anything back. He was very thorough in making that deal like he knew that something like this would happen." I scoffed, "I don't mean through legal means; I mean, can't you get rid of him through any means?"The bastard at the other end of the line started laughing like I said something funny. He laughed for a while, and it started to irritate me, so I
When I opened my eyes, the room still felt dark, so that may mean that it was not morning yet. I felt sore in many places, and my head was killing me, but either way, I tried to touch his side of the bed and ask him to pull me up, but there was no one there. I looked at the side, which was a bit rumbled, which meant that he did sleep there but had woken up before I did.I managed to sit up and then looked at the clock. It was five o'clock in the morning, and I pushed myself to the edge of the bed even though my whole body protested against that movement. But I needed to get up and drain my bladder since I fainted from my orgasm and did not know everything that happened after that. I also needed to eat something because all that walking made me hungry, and I was too busy ogling Josh to ask for noodles yesterday, but now that all that was done, I needed to eat. I heard the sound of a plate falling somewhere, so that means that he was in his kitchen.Then came the whole problem, because
I grabbed the drink from his hand and took a sip from it to calm my insides. I had not examined what kind of tea, which is unlike me; it could have been poison and I would have drank it without looking, but it turned out sweet, so I looked at the remaining liquids at the bottom of the cup."What kind of tea is this? It's really sweet," I asked him."I don't know; my mom bought most of the things in my house, including this tea. She blended a lot of the things into the dried green tea, but I have forgotten what she mentioned."I tasted cinnamon on it," I said, and he shrugged."I did too, but as for the rest, I did not pay much attention," he said."Do you want to play a game?" He asked me."What is it? Truth or dare," I continued. "Do you want to dare me to pull my pants off?""It is not truth or dare, and if I wanted you to pull your pants off, I would not need to play a silly game. It's an Ouija box game where you have to do anything the alphabet on it says.""Is there another paper
