Puppy Love 123 Names
~Justin~ The living room was silent. It seemed we were all trying to process the entire thing. Was Miley telling the truth, or was she trying to drag Jacob's mother down with her? "Liar," Adrian finally said, and she shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks, trembling in fear. "I have no reason to lie, Alpha. You should be able to sense if I am lying. I am telling you the truth. Jessica put me up to it. I swear. I can repeat this in her presence," She said, defending her confession while her tears poured. She was just as fragile as her sister but more wicked and selfish. "How the fuck did she know you?" Adrian asked a valid question because, under normal circumstances, Jessica would not know Miley. They were from different social circles. "She did not know me personally," Miley said and looked at me. "She commissioned the job," She said, and I frowned from curiosity. "Beta Ruben owned the bar I worked in. He was the one that gave me the offer," She said, and I was attenti
Puppy Love 124 Hurt
~Adrian~My heart felt as though it had turned to ice, mirroring the frozen landscape of my emotions. Miley's words echoed in my mind, leaving me in disbelief. The urge to label her a liar surfaced, yet a lingering doubt restrained me.Why would she fabricate accusations against my aunt and Beta Ruben? What motive could she possibly have to implicate them in my father's demise? Though a part of me acknowledged the potential existence of truth in her words, I found it hard to accept.As I observed Miley on the floor, visibly shaken and fearful, my thoughts drifted back to a morning when I woke up beside Rachael in the same bed.I recalled the fear in her eyes, initially interpreting it as anxiety about my actions. However, a new understanding emerged – she had been summoning the courage to accuse me.It suddenly clicked.If I had genuinely wronged her, she wouldn't have stuck around until morning; she would have fled, perhaps even reported the incident. I was oblivious during my slumber
Puppy Love 125 Is It True
~Adrain~In the aftermath of my revelation, my aunt sat in stunned silence, grappling for words that seemed elusive.The weight of her guilt was palpable in her expression.While I had already discerned the truth from the look in her eyes, I yearned for her to confess to her crimes.My intention wasn't solely to expose her, but rather to reveal the reality of her actions to her son.Despite my claims of indifference, Jacob still held significance to me, and I wasn't eager to make an enemy out of him. He was innocent in this intricate web of deceit, and losing him to the turmoil was an outcome I wished to avert."I can explain that part, Adrian. My mother meant well," Jacob spoke up, and I gestured for him to continue."Explain," I demanded."Well, as you're aware, Lumas tends to be overlooked. My mother wished for me to highlight the beauty of Lumas to Alpha Justin and Princess Harper. Our goal was to make the Royals understand that our territory is also developed, and they are welcome
Puppy Love 126 Confessions
~Adrian~Jacob fell into silence following my detailed explanation. He fixed his gaze on his mother, yearning for her to challenge my account. Perhaps there was a plausible explanation, a misunderstanding, or a setup orchestrated against her. The anticipation was apparent in his eyes as he sought an elucidation from his mother."Mother," he urged, breaking the silence that enveloped us, while I maintained my quiet stance.I sensed Justin's impatience, but for the sake of my cousin, it was imperative that he uncovered the truth and saw his mother for who she truly was.Jessica stayed silent, tears streaming down her face. She had hit rock bottom, fully aware of it, and the embarrassment of her exposure gnawed at her."We don't have time to spare, madam," Noah asserted, the urgency palpable in his words. They had more pressing matters and a significant case to unravel. My predicaments paled in comparison to the challenges in Russ and other parts of our continent. Yet, somehow, they regar
Puppy Love 127 Confessions Part 2
~Adrian~It didn't take long for Jessica to resume her confession. She realised it was the end for her, so she might as well divulge everything."Gary and Ruben orchestrated the entire plan. Ruben hired Miley, but she was old enough, and we wouldn't be able to prove anything. I wanted a minor, and she suggested using her sister. I noticed she was a cunning person willing to do anything for money. We agreed and set the plan in motion. I was the one who arranged that party and convinced Jacob to bring Adrian there. Then, at some point, I feigned illness, so Jacob would come to my aid. However, we made it appear as if he was just checking on me and would return to the party. I specifically instructed him not to trouble Adrian about my health, emphasising that Adrian had recently lost his father and might become distressed," she explained, tears streaming down her face."I genuinely didn't anticipate Gary harming the young lady. He claimed he would only intimidate her and give her a beatin
Puppy Love 128 Finding Gary
~Justin~To claim that I wasn't repulsed by Jessica's admission would be a falsehood. This woman had committed egregious acts, and her motivations were indefensible. How could she betray her own brother, the man who provided refuge when she had nowhere else to turn, who helped her through the loss of her mate, and stood by her when no one else cared? The betrayal of not only him but also scheming against her nephew, her brother's sole offspring, all driven by sheer greed, left me thoroughly disgusted.While Jessica wasn't under my jurisdiction for punishment, I harboured the hope that Adrian would administer the justice she deserved. I was willing to relieve him of that responsibility to ensure she faced the consequences she merited. Mercy was undeserved, and a second chance was out of the question. The whole situation irked me, and it was evident that even the typically passive Caspian was seething with anger.Stepping into Adrian's shoes, I must applaud his admirable patience and com
Puppy Love 129 How Do You Want It (Quick or Slow)
~Noah~I hadn't felt this excited in a while. Finally, the pieces were coming together, and it seemed like we were on the verge of making significant progress. Initially, Sebastien and I had expressed the desire to be involved in the investigation, not only to assist Liam but also to experience the excitement.Having completed our education ahead of our peers, we were prone to boredom. Unfortunately, our father hadn't entrusted us with responsibilities, believing we were somewhat unstable and lacked the emotional maturity for significant tasks. Sophia's case provided us with an opportunity to prove ourselves.We hoped our dedication and readiness to serve in this situation would change our father's perspective.A sense of sadness crept in as we neared the resolution of the case, knowing that it also meant getting closer to our return to Mountain.To be honest, neither Sebastien nor I particularly enjoyed being there, but we persevered. Complaining seemed futile. There were moments when
Puppy Love 130 A Few Pieces More To Go
~Justin~The fear in Ruben's eyes as Noah approached gave me hope that he would finally speak. Ruben was right; he would die regardless. He had to pay for his crimes with his life. Despite what Noah had conveyed, I had planned for his demise to be slow and agonising. There was no way he would be granted a quick and easy death."Names and locations," I reiterated, and he composed himself ready to speak. I could see he hoped for a quick death after all."The Agk32 chemist is Austin Smirnov. I believe he's been apprehended. The D3 lab supplying my region is located in Kaizen and Braile. The alphas there are oblivious, but the Network has labs with technicians. Additionally, there's an extensive slave trade network to secure lab test subjects and workers aiding the operation. They've nearly perfected the formula. Gary has more names; he's connected to the Continental Network. I merely work with the western arm," Ruben confessed."Elder Carlos and David are also involved in the Network. Due
