"What the hell are you doing? I thought you wanted babies." I asked looking at his open mouth.He held his heart. "It's just... just... that I am so happy." He finished and started laughing."Excuse me?""I am so happy; I am so glad I got to experience this since I did not experience it with the twins.""I thought you were gasping for air a few minutes ago, and now you are happy?"He shook his head. "I was not gasping; I was playing with you. Why would I have a problem with a child, I have been asking you for?""Well, I have a problem with it; this was not planned. I have many things I wanted to do after the Luna lesson; I wanted to get a job, not just stay at home; I even wanted to maybe start school or something, but here I am pregnant again." I barked and blinked back the tears that were trying to drop."Wow, I didn't know that. I can get you a job that would not stress you and I can get you admitted to any school of your choice in the pack. Please don't cry. I thought you were usi
"Can I come in?" Hayden asked, and I shook my head as if he could see me."No, you can't see me, till I am done," I screamed and drew a line with my lipstick on my jaw by mistake."Shit!, Hayden Stay in one place and stop asking if you could come in, every two minutes!" I screamed, then grabbed my foundation to cover up my lipstick.He opened the door and came closer to where I was sitting on my vanity doing my makeup, then turned me so I was having him."You don't have to try too hard; this is not even an important meeting. It's just a meeting with old clients. I have not taken any of my secretaries there because I can handle everything. I am just letting you come so you can see how fun it will be.""Or I can come and see how I am not suited for the secretary job; I mean, if I can't handle something you can handle alone by yourself, then that means that I am hopeless."He scoffed, "No, it means you need my practice, so don't be hard on yourself.""Easy for you to say when you are not
"Hayden, it was so nice of you to finally join us. I thought I was going to die before you remembered that we had a meeting." A man who looked a lot older than everyone there complained."It is not anyone's fault that you are an old man, Edward. He was not even up to twenty minutes late." A young man who was about Hayden's age said, but when I moved closer, I found out that he was a wolf."I know your wolf genes make you young; you don't have to shove it in my face," Edward, the one who spoke earlier, replied."Children, settle down and stop bickering. Some of us have somewhere to be after this," the other older men said.Edward scoffed. "Anyone who hears you will think that you have a young, beautiful woman waiting for you to come back, but then they realize that you are going to another meeting or to go bury yourself in work in your study."They started to laugh, and the man that Edward talked to gave him the middle finger.Four men were sitting down on each side of the table. Two o
"Yep, we do have a lot to talk about," I said, mimicking her tone, then sat down."Here are the two glasses, ma'am," Macky said, dropping the glasses on the table."Please grab some juice for me from the fridge," I asked, and she went to the fridge."What flavor? Mango, apple, or lemonade."Apple is fine; thank you," I said, and she gave it to me.I poured myself a glass, and when I looked up, Claire was staring at me."Out with the news already; I am already tired of waiting.""Fine, I am pregnant, but you cannot tell anyone yet. We are keeping it a secret for now," I whispered."Why? Pregnancy is not something you can hide; you will have a big tummy soon."I shrugged. "Until then, I don't start showing till I am about two to three months gone, so we can handle it."She nodded but then stood up and whined her body, twerking around the place. "I am going to be an aunt again, soon."I laughed and said, "True, maybe you should start working on one too. So I will be an aunt."She shook h
Hayden pov"A picture; I thought you were calling to tell me you have him?" I asked while walking into the house with Alex, who was listening to my call."No, he had already left the party before we arrived. He is either so aware of his environment or someone tipped him off."Okay, so how did you get his photos then, and how sure are you that that is real?""From the security, he went in there before he left and asked him to clear the footage for tonight and paid him.""So I am guessing that he did not delete it then?" I asked, then pressed the elevator button."He did; Simeon checked it before he left; he is not stupid, but the security left the one in his office that he barged into.""Any ideas what he came there to do?" I asked him."No, but a few people said that he came to see a man who handed him something in a black bag."I cursed, "Sneaky motherfucker, any information on his location?""He headed east like said, but there was no scent to follow, so o
"Alex, where are the candles? I can't seem to find them in these boxes and baskets." Claire asked me and pushed a glass from the table.I stood up from where I was arranging things because I knew Claire would scatter everything and still not find what she was looking for.I opened the first box in which we kept the things we bought, and there was the candle. I did not even have to search in the others."I thought you said you searched the boxes and baskets?""I did; someone must have taken it from these boxes; should we send someone to go get another one?" She said and brought out her phone."I can't believe you did not see the candle that was on top of the box," I said, handing it to her."It must not be there when I was searching for it."I rolled my eyes. "You and both know that it was on the top of that box. Now please tell me anything you may need, so I can get them.""Flowers, some perfumes, and a lighter," she said, and I opened all the other boxes, then handed her all she requ
"That was Beatrice talking, right?" she asked."Yep, I escaped because I was not in the mood for her now.""Yeah, me too; I am too happy to let her spoil my mood. But what was she talking about? So I know if I need to change anything.""Nope, she was talking about Luna not needing make-up. when she has makeup on her face.""She told me that once, and I pointed at her face and told her that she had make-up on too. but she refuted it and said that it was white powder and lipstick, and even though she was lying because she had a foundation that matched her skin, I was holding myself from telling her that lipstick was makeup too."I chuckled, "That must have given sucked."She rolled her eyes and said, "I do not know if you are making fun of me, but that it did suck.""Sorry, we said that we wouldn't let her spoil our mood, but we are. So let's get ready because our men and the whole pack will be starting soon in the hall."The pack will celebrate his birthday in the hall first, then clos
"Now, let us start with the game. I can't wait to know your dirty secrets," Summer said."Anyways, I will list the rules for anyone who has never played with us. First, you do not pick if you are daring or saying the truth; then the coin picks for you."My eyes widened. Okay, maybe I should not have joined this game, and looking at Hayden, I could tell that he had a smile on his face."For five thousand dollars, you can skip the person next to you that you are expected to question and ask another person a question, but you cannot dare the person. If you lie and the person has evidence then he gets to dare you, Now let us start.""So first, I will start," she said, tossing the coin, and it was the head, which was the truth.She frowned, and Winter started laughing."Willow that day back in college that Killian denied that you were not dating; are you dating him?" She asked.Everyone gasped. Lucien even pinched her. "Summer, she here with her mate. Why would you want her to talk about t
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
