Puppy Love 115 Giving It All
~Adrian~ The intensity of fire and anger in Harper's eyes told the whole story. She was furious. Had it been the other way around, I would be too. It was unfair to leave her in the state I did, in Grizlo. I couldn't fathom why I didn't call, but I suppose I was apprehensive of this very moment. I feared that she might have reached a point where she was ready to let me go, that loving me and being with me had become wearisome, and she might decide to part ways. I should have reached out, perhaps invited her to Lumas. I eventually did, but by then, too much had transpired in her mind. She had already completed her emotional journey on the matter, and the blame rested squarely on me. When I sought Jacob's help to request permission for her from her alpha and brother, I understood that I had only one opportunity to rebuild her trust and salvage what we had. I had to give it my all. Hearing her pour out her emotions got to me. I rarely shed tears, but seeing how I made the woman I lo
Puppy Love 116 Tell Me Your Version
~Justin~ Jacob led us into his living room after Adrian had spirited Harper away. It was evident that Harper was carrying a heavy burden of pent-up anger, making me anticipate a lengthy absence. The complexity of their relationship remained beyond my comprehension, but I held out hope for a swift resolution. Dealing with two lovesick, broken-hearted individuals was a situation I wanted to avoid, as it proved quite tiresome, especially when I was already dealing with my own stress. Sophia remained by my side as we settled into Jacob's living room. The presence of his artwork and paintings on the walls indicated that this was still Jacob's home, leading me to believe that his arrangement with Adrian was sudden. I wasn't sure if it was wise to fully trust Jacob with sensitive information, so I signalled my team to allow me to handle the conversation. One thing was clear: whoever had framed Adrian had ulterior motives, likely connected to power and authority, unless it was a personal ven
Puppy Love 117 Update On Russ
~Justin~ The room fell into a solemn silence as we absorbed Jessica's emotional account. Her words were accompanied by tears and hiccups, so we had to listen carefully to grasp all the details. "May I add something?" Liam asked through our telepathic connection, and I granted him permission. "If the matter was pending investigation, then why wasn't the investigation conducted thoroughly?" he inquired. "We had no leads. It reached a dead end. If it was a setup, it was executed with precision. It appeared entirely credible. The offer of Luna status seemed like the only way out, but then two other girls came forward. I didn't know them, and I'm not even sure where they are now, but it complicated the situation further. With the compelling evidence provided, it became evident that Adrian had a recurring pattern, sealing his fate. We chose to leave things as they were, and everything fell silent," Jessica explained, and I leaned forward. "Except it wasn't silent. Recently, Miley has be
Puppy Love 118 A Little Talk In Between
~Harper~ Adrian didn't take the revelation well. Honestly, I thought he would be relieved, but he was angry, so angry that it scared me. I had never seen him angry before. He got off the bed and walked to the window of his room. I knew it was so he could think and calm down. So, I held back and did not follow. "She told you all of that?" he finally asked, looking at me. He stood naked by the window, handsome and calm. Dark hair touseled but still sexy. I couldn't help myself but join him. Wrapping the sheets around my body, I got off the bed to join him at the window. He faced the window, his back toward me, Not looking at anything. There was nothing to see but an empty gazebo in the middle of the garden. His mind was wandering. I knew he was angry. "Yes," I replied, standing behind him. I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head against his back to calm him down. He caressed my hands that were wrapped around his stomach while I held on tight. "So why is Miley sending
Puppy Love 119 I Think We Have A Plan
~Adrian~ The day had been eventful, and it seemed all my troubles had come to a halt. Knowing I wasn't guilty of violating anyone lifted a heavy burden from my chest and boosted my confidence. Although it was hard not to tell my cousin, I had to trust Harper. She was my mate, and listening to her was crucial. I wasn't going to be like other men who never listen to their women and do whatever they like. We were equal partners in this, and her opinion was just as important as mine. Trusting her, I opted to hold my tongue. Telling Jacob I would be staying at my father's house was necessary. I could see he still wanted Harper. The longing and hurt in his eyes said it all. There was a time when I would have felt guilty about it. I was stupid enough to even attempt to reject my mate for his sake. I tried to push her to him severally but not anymore. Looking back at my actions, I felt really stupid. Yes, I was grateful for him. Both he and Aunty Jessica had shielded me from whatever
Puppy Love 120 Emotions and Conflicts
~Sophia~ Sharing a room with Justin had me in knots. The room was big, but I knew it would feel small. It just had one kingsize bed, and we were both going to share it. I knew he was being a gentleman by offering to stay on the couch, but for someone his height and frame, the couch would have been very uncomfortable for him. When I offered to stay on the couch instead, I meant it. I was small, and it would fit me nicely, but he refused. I know I shouldn't be thinking certain thoughts, but I had butterflies in my stomach, just thinking we would be sleeping on the same bed. This was special because it was an unusual feeling. Normally, the thought of being isolated in a room with a man scared the hell out of me. But with Justin, it was different. I found myself longing to spend time with him, looking forward to his daily visit. He had been patient with me, from barely speaking a word to becoming a chatterbox. Thinking about it, he was what I needed to heal, not that stupid therapist w
Puppy Love 121 Let's Go To Miley
~Justin~ I must admit the condom incident was a bit awkward. I could tell the shift in the atmosphere after it, and even though Sophia tried to mask it, I could tell it made her uncomfortable. I was embarrassed. I had lots of them in there, and they have been in there for as long as I can remember. My mother had placed them there for reasons best known to her. I remember the day vividly. I was going to Cain's Island on vacation, and my mother had poured a few packs of condoms into my bag and pleaded with me to bring a nice girl home. The moment was still fresh in my memory. I had laughed and told her I wouldn't use it, and here they were. They were probably expired, if they expired. It baffled me why I never got to go far with anyone. My friend once told me that I overthink things until I think my way out of everything. To me, starting a conversation with someone just because I want to fuck them is tedious, and knowing I wouldn't settle because I was waiting for my fated way o
Puppy Love 122 The Ostentatious Bungalow
~Justin~ Adrain had brought an SUV. It had been a while since I rode in any. We were usually Van people because we liked moving about the place in groups, but I liked the SUV. Adrian did not bring a kappa or anyone with him. He meant it when he said the operation was covert. He was the one behind the wheels, and that said a lot about the kind of person he is. He was a hands-on man. Someone who did not mind getting his hands dirty and doing the job himself. If this was his trait all along, then it is possible that the criminals would not want him in charge. Who would have thought he would close down the airport and roads just to trap the criminals? He was indeed a dangerous enemy to have. "Does Miley live far from here?" Noah asked Adrian. "No, she lives on this side of town. Heard she bought the bungalow a few months after the incident. Rachael was still missing then. The bitch did not bother to look for her sister, I learned. Regardless I am still pissed at Rachael. If she meant
