The story will be fast-paced onward as we are rounding up this month. Thank you for your love and support. 🤗
~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
~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
~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
~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
~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
~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
~Justin~When we arrived at the house, we found all the residents in the living room. Some were sitting on the couch while others were on the floor, nestled. Josephine was nestled between Liam's legs on the floor, as were Oliver and Elaine. At the same time, Marvin and Layla were cuddled on the couch.They all were eager and excited about our return. I thought they’d be bored, but we had walked in amid a debate. I knew no matter how interesting their discussion might be, we were bound to have better news since we had gone out to get some criminals. I could not wait to open the investigation with what we had learned. My eyes went to Sophia sitting on a single couch while Harper and Charlotte shared the two-seater. The three-seater was left for Marvin and Layla to enjoy.Sophia had on a tight T-shirt and tight shorts. I wondered if the shorts were hers because they fit her so well. They weren't loose like most of her clothes were, but then again, she wore mainly joggers and hoodies; thi
~Jacob~It was hard to think of my problem surrounded by the Volkovs and the Stepanovs. They were a lively group of people to have. I would lie if I said my mother's confession did not gnaw at my soul occasionally. Still, there was always someone with a funny remark to pull me out of the depressive hole I was sinking into, like our eastern Leader, Erik Kozlov Stepanov. I did not know he was funny until now. He had a question for every sentence and every explanation Justin gave. And all his wife did was try to calm him down. It did not click that Noah and Sebastien were their grandchildren until Sebastien answered one of Erik's questions.The twins snickered and chuckled at every question and every answer, even I couldn't help it. I laughed quietly, not wanting to get into the old man's bad books.As funny as he sounded, I knew those were not his intentions. He genuinely was disappointed about the living arrangement as he was trying to create space for himself and his wife.I knew when
