LEVI

My interest was piqued, and there was no way I could ignore such information she was about to tell me about. I exchanged glances Mia, and then focused back my stare at the maid.

“Are you sure of what you just said?” I questioned, trying to maintain my composure as I was excited that someone was ready to spill the truth to me.

“Yes, Alpha.” She responded respectfully.

“Alright, go on.” I urged her.

“I saw a maid with a stranger, who was wearing a cloak. I had to follow them because they looked suspicious. So, I trailed the maid, and saw her adding poison to ma’am Alexa’s food.” She informed me calmly.

I could tell she was also nervous as she had spilled the truth, probably she was hoping that the killer wouldn’t find her, and poison her. I understood her, and I wasn’t going to allow that to happen.

No one would die on my watch.

“Be calm, and do not be nervous. No one else is going to die. Not on my watch. Just tell me everything you know in detail, and trust that you’ll be fine, a

    ALEXAAfter Levi left, I still couldn’t just hold on as he said I should. I paced around in my room, thinking of what to do. I know I was to make sure I didn’t do anything to make him get really furious, especially if I endangered myself because i didn’t listen.But then, I was curious. I needed to know about the person who tried to poison me. I had a right to be there, and I wasn’t feeling that weak right now.I walked up to the door, and then opened it. As I opened the door slowly, I peeked out and looked left and right to ensure he wasn’t around somewhere before I walked out.Thankfully, no one was around the hallway, so I stepped out and headed for the stairs. Slowly and carefully, I walked down the steps, but met Mia coming up the stairs.“Oh, Alexa. Where are you going to in this state?” Mia asked as she walked up the stairs quickly to meet me.“I…I want to see who Levi is talking to, and whatever they are saying about the woman who poisoned me.” I requested as she held on to th

    ALEXAI won't call this madness, rather I was just the center picture of a woman who had just lost her child, an insane woman yes but for justified reasons. It had been tough dealing with the news, almost as though my mind was going berserk, I could feel the corruptible venom flowing through my veins relentlessly filling me with something deeper, something that should be absurd.Call it the agony of motherhood, this newfound pain I was faced with.While I tried to control my mind and think about something different, it didn't help when there were people I could point accusing fingers at.Mia had been right, it was better not knowing —The hours, the speeding seconds, every pulse and heart beat that were forced out of my chest making a thudding sound.It just went on and on, like something struck by an infinity comet doomed to repeat the same circled fate over and over again.After I was done venting out my anger, I stood there in the middle of the room yet again overwhelmed by the ev

    LEVII was furious, but for some reason I kept myself cool. Soon after she left the room, I was faced with the thought of how to deal with the entire situation.She was right afterall, I had to something about the entire situation — The fact that all of this was happening so fast and it was hard to process flashes through my mind. Taking a deep sigh I cleared off the air that still had an aftertaste of the entire situation."We will have this meeting later." I announced.No one said a word but stood to leave one after another letting in a soft wind through the door as they did, then silence.Cold and silence, those two emotions were all I could feel after they had left, it was partly—wholly—the reason I had asked them to leave as there was a need for me to clear my head.Still my heart quaked, leaving heavy thuds that echoed through the room.My face was flushed as I clenched my fist banging it on the table in frustration. "Easy man." Mike's voice called out from the other side of t

    ALEXAI Love you… The guts he had to say those words.Does he take me for a fool that would be swayed by his words?Those three words kept replaying at the back of my mind over and over again, while those words should have made me excited. It at least sparked something in my soul. It left a feeling that I wasn't so used to.The distasteful feeling was upon my tongue seeking a way to be unleashed in words, hurtful words .Instead of speaking I went for silence. My stomach dipped and I closed my eyes when I felt him walking closer to where I was standing, my heart gave a thudding sound of defeat giving me away."Why are you quiet?" He asked, with his voice soft —For a second, I didn't say a word or comment because that voice—that soothing voice of his was non-negotiable.My hands grew clammy as he touched me, I could sense my body tense. "Don't." I muttered.He ignored me as he reached my side, he took my arm and I forced my eyes open to see him standing so close with a smile that did

    LEVI From where I was standing all I could hear was the reverberation of my heartbeat and then silence.I could feel the struggle for a space in my conscience, with each minute that passed, each heartbeat took me back the memory lane to the Alexa room.I shut my eyes for a minute with the thought resounding at the back of my mind. As i made my way the stairs creaked beneath my feet—One thing about the echoes of heartbeats is the fact that you hear the sound deep in your soul reluctantly or not.My heart beat was no different, while the last few moments flashes across my memory over and over again, it leaves repetitive echoes of my heart beat.In a way I could believe I had actually said those words to her, at this point while thinking about its aftermath it felt like my heart had actually said those words instead of my head.I thought about the action with absolute disgust—The sound of my shoes echoed off the wooden floorboards stringing along with the heavy sound of my heartbeat

    ALEXA "You don't mean it."I had been talking to Mia for the past minute and she had been telling me about the recent development. I must say it was hard to believe. No matter how hard I tried to process my thoughts I wouldn't have guessed that Zale was going to use that route."He is a really smart one." I muttered."Yeah, I agree and equally deadly as well." Mia replies." So what is he going to do about it, I mean Levi. ""Well nothing has been decided yet but it would do you some good to stay clear away from him. "" Really, is it that serious? " I rolled my eyes." Trust me, he is furious … "As we were speaking out on the patio she paused as he walked past storming away, I could literally hear his heavy heart beats as he stomped off."Can you see what I am saying?"she shrugged. I watched him leave still astonished about the manner at which Zale was going about this , while I was a bit impressed . It didn't take away the fact that he was Levi's archenemy and wasn't worthy of an

    ALEXAWatching the entire events unfold before me i must say it left totally confused as I searched for the right emotions to term this as… Madness, absolute madness— I would describe this entire situation as that for some reason I couldn't believe that Mia had actually took this a bit far by inviting him to the house and while I was still trying to make her understand how wrong she was, she just wouldn't accept.Mia seemed to me like she was brain washed or some sort, I could tell that she was uncomfortable having caught her red handed but still the look in her eyes showed that she wasn't ready to admit it. It was still hard for me process all of this that was going on at the moment, I stood there in shock watching as she try to adjust herself.Thinking about it, it was the second time she was doing but at the moment the timing — It couldn't be more wrong."Why are you doing this?" I questioned.She looked at me like I had asked the most absurd of things and ignored my question. In

    LEVIWhen it comes down to making final decisions I am getting to that point where I consider myself very weak, for no justified reason I was holding this same woman I should so much despise and once again I was caught in her drama.I could feel her pulse heavily against my fingers and at the same time, I didn't want to let go … it seemed like I would be making a grave mistake if I did that, at least not in this manner.She looked at where our hands were joined then up at me, keeping the gaze at my face.Every synapses in my brain was screaming at me to stop this whole I can, u couldn't as well go on to make a mistake grave as this—But for some reason she was offering something I didn't see myself rejecting at the moment, she was offering comfort.As it turned out I was starting to look like a confused man to even myself, we stood there for what felt like a moment both acting like a love struck teenager's without making any move.When her gaze came up to meet mine one more time it wa

    LEVII shifted a little in my chair, impatient for the council meeting to get to the stage I had been dreaming about all these days. I looked around at all the pack members seated in the council chamber. All eyes were trained on the front of the room, at the round table where the men who would give fair judgment on who was to become Alpha, sat. I was not the only one stealing glances around the room. Zale, who was a claimant of the Alpha title sat at the end of the table also, opposite from me. It was obvious that he was in a state of barely suppressed excitement. His eyes met mine, and he smirked before looking away. I hid a grin. He was in for a shock even though he did not know it yet. There was a loud thump that echoed around the room. Conversation ceased immediately. One of the chief council members, the one with a grizzled beard slowly got to his feet. "Brothers of the pack," he called in a carrying voice. "You all know why we are here, to decide on who becomes the true Alpha

    LEVI"It's your son, I can't find him anywhere!" Mia fidgeted, her eyes sunken with fear..I immediately stood up from my chair in a panicked state."Where was the last place you saw him?"I asked Mia, barrelling past her."In his room,I went downstairs to get myself a drink and answer a few calls then came back to find him gone." Mia rambled, following closely behind me just as panicked as I was.I tried to calm myself as I practically ran to the security room…I was still pissed about finding out that Zale was responsible for my father's death and now this!I needed to focus. There was no way my son could just disappear without a trace.I took in a deep breath as I got to the security room and sat down. I began to surf through the security footage, trying to calm my racing heart.Mia was right by my side, scanning the footage from between one hour ago and now. I could practically hear her heart beating her chest. She was afraid and normal I'd comfort her but I was just as panicked as

    ALEXA As soon as I stepped into the restaurant, I spotted Zale seated at a table at the rear of the restaurant, fidgeting and checking his watch. He looked around, but did not spot me at the entrance, as a couple of people were leaving then, blocking his view of me. He was obviously eager to have the ring in his possession, even though I was still five minutes early for our scheduled meeting. "Hi, Zale," I said as I lowered myself into the chair next to him. He started a little, having been engrossed in checking his wristwatch in what had to be the umpteenth time. "Alexa." His face split into a wide grin. His eyes danced with barely concealed excitement. "Just who I've been expecting. It's good to see you." He looked me over, his gaze lingering on the fitted dress I wore. "You look really good... Better than you looked at our last meeting."I shrugged. "I guess it's the satisfaction of taking my own pound of flesh.""Of course. Of course. I like the way you think. Only hypocrites

    LEVIIt was night time and Alexa was getting ready to go over to Zale's to hand him the fake ring.Despite the simplicity of the plan, I couldn't help but to be worried about her and the plan. I wasn't one to scare easily but when it came to Alexa's safety, I was.I watched her through the window as she walked towards the car that was to take her over to Zale 's place. I still didn't like the idea of her meeting him but in order for us to be able to trick him, she had to.The starless sky was not helping the niggling feeling I had at the back of mind either. I know why but I felt really off about the plan. Alexa had told me I was being paranoid when I had mentioned my concerns to her earlier and I had taken it as the reason but right now I wasn't so sure.As if she could sense my eyes on her, Alexa turned around and our eyes locked through the window and she frowned as she noticed the worry in my eyes.She tore her eyes off mine and quickly glanced at the driver to say something I cou

    LEVII walked towards Mike who was making his way towards me.'How'd it go?’ I have a question. He heaves a breath and buries his hand in his hair, “Nothing out of the ordinary really,” he starts, leaning against a nearby wall, “They just went on and on about who the new alpha is going to be and how the choice is going to be made this year. Apparently they’re making special efforts to ensure it isn’t the same as the previous year.” He explains and I nod in understanding.“Makes sense. Did they mention who exactly who the competitors this year are?” I asked, taking the spot beside him.“To be honest, it wasn’t really clear, they didn’t state it plainly,” He scratches the back of his head, an apology in his eyes, “They however mentioned the top two contenders are you and Zale.” He finishes, his gaze studious.“That’s…good?” I muss, my hand rubbing against my chin, an impulse I had picked from Alexa. “And the supporters? Enemies?”“We actually have quite a number of people on our side,

    ALEXAI told Mia about Levi's text and we drove to Levi's office. The traffic was on my side. It was light and we got to the office in record time. As soon as I pulled in front of the building, I looked into the rearview mirror, schooling my expression into the expected one of fury. Mia waited in the car. I marched past the smiling doorman, completely ignoring his greetings. The other staff scurried out of the way when I directed my scowl at them. "Where is he? Levi," I demanded of the receptionist. "He's upstairs," she said, wide eyed with surprise. "Up in the conference room."Without another word, I went upstairs, already muttering angrily to myself long before I spotted Levi. He stood with his back to the wall, sulkily regarding people who passed by him. "There you are, you piece of shit!" I screeched as loudly as I could. I pointed an accusing finger at him as I marched towards him. As I had hoped, every eye in the corridor became fixed on me. Levi gaped at me, his expressio

    LEVIMy attention was half on what Mike was saying. I was lost in thought, thinking about what Mia had told me. It had come as a shock to realize that Mia had been under Ryan's thumb all this while, doing his bidding. I was grateful for whatever lucky chance had made Alexa eavesdrop and hear Mia's conversation. The sound of my phone ringing brought me out of my reverie. I started a little. "Alexa's calling," Mike said with a glance at my phone which lay between us. I grunted, picked up quickly. "I'm listening," I said as soon as I picked up the call. Mike leaned forward to talk to the driver, and I used that opportunity to shift a little to the far side of the car. This was not a conversation I wanted him to overhear. "You already left the house," remarked Alexa."Yes," I responded."I hope you still remember the plan.""Yes."There was a brief pause. Her tone was somewhat annoyed when she said, "Why are you answering me in monosyllables?" I swallowed, racking my brains for the b

    ALEXA"Ryan?” I ask, trying to contain my anger.Mia’s stares at the flower arrangements behind me unwilling to meet my gaze.“I believe I asked you a question Mia. Why the hell would you do this to Levi?” “Answer me!” I snap.Mia fiddles with the hem of her dress, she opens her mouth to speak but no words come out. Alexa pulls her by the arm into an empty changing room, “Now we have some privacy. You better start talking.”Mia paced about the tiny cubicle. “I’m sorry.” “You’re sorry?” No no no! We haven’t gotten to that part yet.”“This is the part where you give me a damn explanation for why you’re stealing from your own brother.”“I..I don’t know. I just.. I mean its Ryan” Mia stutters,“I’m racking my brain searching hard for a good enough reason but nothing except its Ryan.” She huffs, “I never know how to act when it comes to him. It’s almost like I lose all self-control, like I don’t have a mind of my own. He asks me to do something, and I do it without question.I watch Mia

    ALEXA"Alexa-" Levi murmured, then paused, gauging my reaction. With a sigh, I left our son's crib. I really didn't want to have the conversation he was sure to bring up right now. I needed time to process all he had said to me before. I left the nursery, hoping he would take the hint and drop the issue. I went to the bedroom, sat on the bed, but Levi was still right behind me. "We need to talk, Alexa. Please," he said. "You have already said everything there is to say.""But you haven't given me an answer yet.""Look, each of us has a lot to do today. So why don't we just drop this?" I suggested. "Both of us will function better today if you give me an answer. Let's leave the past behind us and face the future together. Marry me, Alexa.""It's not as simple as that," I grumbled. "But it is. The complications are all in your head."I bit my lip. Levi was wrong there. It was not that simple. I had been through a lot at the hands of Levi. There was an elephant in the room. Levi had
