Puppy Love 105 Might Just Breathe
~Harper~ We waited a bit. No one said anything. We were giving her time to respond to the question. "No, it wasn't," She finally confessed. "The man called me and ordered me to go to the airport. He told me Alpha Justin Pavlishchev will be at the airport, and I must ensure that I catch his attention," She said, and I laughed, knowing I was right to suspect her all along. "It took a long time before Alpha Justin called me, and I was given hell for it. They put me under a lot of pressure for not being able to catch his attention. They expected me to find my way to Alpha Jacob's house. They wanted me to force my way into Justin's life. I was a whore, after all, and they needed me to be a whore, but I couldn't. I couldn't. I dreaded that place. I hadn't been around the Alpha since I returned. I avoided him. He was kind and accommodating, and the people had direct access to him, but I never used that access. I guess they wanted me to use it so that Justin would see me the second tim
Puppy Love 106 How To Find Your Fated 101
~Justin~ There was a glint in my cousin's eyes that I found unsettling. Somehow, I felt it was wrong to allow Racheal to go shopping with Harper and Charlotte. Josephine and Elaine were neutral people, but how neutral could they be if Harper had found a way to convince them that Rachael was responsible for her predicament? They would support her. When Sebastien and Noah told me they would be going with the girls, I just knew they weren't going shopping. My cousins were not children anymore, and they knew what would happen should they engage in illegal activities. If getting Racheal comfortable enough to spill her guts was what they wanted to do, then it was fine, but hurting her would get all of us in trouble, especially me because whether I liked it or not, I was in charge. I could not miss the look in Racheal's eyes when she sat in my office before Josephine came to whisk her away. I had told her I wanted to discuss something with her, and she tensed up. There was fear
Puppy Love 107 Words And Anger
~Liam~ "Li, where are you?" I heard Harper's voice in my head. I wondered why they had returned two in the afternoon. Josephine had told me that they would be spending the entire day outside. I knew what they planned to do was suspicious. I just hoped they hadn't done something to Rachael because I knew Justin would be mad. They might not notice, but Justin seems to like her. Of all the women that had made passes on Justin, Rachael was the only one he called. "In the common room with Oliver, what is it?" I asked, putting down the document in my hand. "Where is Justin?" She asked, and I knew it definitely had a lot to do with Racheal. She could have as well just linked Justin directly. This whole thing with Adrian would get Harper and maybe the rest of us in trouble. I understood her pain, but I expected her to be wise about it. "If he isn't in his office, then he is somewhere. Why don't you link him and stop bothering me," I said, and she was silent. Soon, Noah and Sebastian en
Puppy Love 108 A Decision To Make
~Justin~ I was highly disappointed in my cousins and family friends. They did not bother to think of the repercussions of their actions. Should anything go wrong, it would be my cross to bear. I will be the one held responsible. Their parents would fault me and question my leadership. It was selfish and inconsiderate of Harper to do this. If indeed Adrian cared enough, he would have sort to exonerate himself. Although Caspian and Liam were trying to calm the situation down, I knew exactly what to do. Standing in the common room looking at all of them, I figured they believed they were old enough to decide and do what they liked. They had somehow come to the conclusion that they were enough, and I commend them for their strength. It seemed I would no longer be needed in Grizlo anymore. I did not say anything. I left the common room and went up the stairs to check on Racheal. When I got to the Delta's floor, Sophia was there looking a bit worried. "What is the matter?" I asked her
Puppy Love 109 New Rules
~Justin~ Taking everything into account, I made the decision to confide in my father so that he could offer his guidance and assist me in handling the situation judiciously. "Adrian is Harper's fated," I disclosed to my father, and he expressed surprise. "Racheal falsely accused him of rape six years years ago. The public reacted vehemently, and to appease them, they prevented him from ascending. Instead, they bestowed the position upon his cousin, Jacob Whyte, who had no business in that role. Adrian was made Jacob's Beta and has remained in that capacity ever since. Adrian is unwilling to fully embrace his connection with Harper because his reputation is tarnished, and Harper is determined to clear his name so they can be together," I summarised. "Ah, puppy love, I understand," my father responded, and I couldn't help but smile. "Harper, Harper. She's always had a penchant for acting on impulse, much like her mother. She wanted to rectify the situation, and Charlotte, along with
Puppy Love 110 A Little Argument And Sorry
~Josephine~ I had never seen Liam so angry as he was when Justin left us in the common room and went upstairs to check on Racheal. I felt a bit nervous and wondered what we did wrong. Rachael wasn't the good guy in all these. She lied and ruined a life. She would have maintained the lie had we not intervened. So, our methods were not desirable, but has anyone solved anything by being pleasant? People like Rachael were like nuts, and they needed to be cracked. Everyone left the common room quietly, so I did the same. I dreaded returning to our bedroom, but Liam and I needed some privacy. I could see he had a lot to say and wanted to voice it out instead of linking me. I followed him quietly, and Harper followed behind. I felt sorry for Harper the most. She honestly had no choice. It was either that or hope that Rachael would come clean. Rachael wouldn't have. She tried to maintain her lie and would have told us the same story if we were nicer. No matter what her story is, the fact
Puppy Love 111 Taking Over Officially
~Adrian~ I had never felt so stupid as I did after Lord Newton had left. Was I weak, trusting, or just afraid? I guess the right explanation was fear. I dreaded finding out that, indeed, I had done those things. I dreaded it so badly that I just accepted the punishment of not ascending and let it be. I should have dug deeper or maybe pushed harder. I should have investigated the matter on my own and brazen up to face whatever challenge that might arise as a result of it, but I was a coward. Harper was right. The image of her the morning I left returned to me, and I had to sit on the couch in the lounge to calm down. The tears that I had held for so long finally found their way down my cheeks. They poured silently. I did not know what to do. This was a mess that had been ongoing for six years. How do we fix it? How do I fix it? I looked at my cousin, who seemed clueless, too. "I can see that what we did was stupid. We should have pushed harder. Get all who were involved investigated
Puppy Love 112 Prepared To Let Go
~Harper~ My hands trembled as I carefully folded my clothes into my suitcase. Discovering the truth had brought a sense of relief, but it had come at a significant price. It appeared that Justin had changed, and I had to admit he was right; somewhere along the way, I had lost my focus. Yet, he couldn't truly comprehend the depth of my struggles until he walked in my shoes. How could I possibly concentrate on mending the world when my own life required mending? I gathered my clothes and contemplated the uncertain future in Lumas. It had been four long days, and Adrian hadn't reached out to me. I couldn't ignore the weight of his words when he had deemed his visit to Grizlo a mistake. Those words had pierced my heart, hinting at the possibility of rejection. Perhaps I had pushed him too far. The realisation hit me hard, and tears streamed down my cheeks as I yearned to mend the shattered pieces of my life. I found myself reminiscing about the days when I had been carefree, craving o
