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
Puppy Love   131 Erik's Arrival
~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 theyâd 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
Puppy Love   132 Claudia's Arrival
~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
Puppy Love   133 In A Quagmire
~Jewel~Shock is an understatement; dread is more like it. I had opted to come to Lumas to see the place based on the rumours of its beauty and also share the good news with my sister, friends, and cousins.Gemma, though not in support, had promised she wouldn't tell Charlotte of my engagement to David, and judging by Charlotte's reaction, it was safe to say she was learning of it for the first time, and it would have been a wonderful experience if it were for the handsome blond guy standing before me.His woody scent drove Nala crazy, and I did not know what to do.There was hope and eagerness in his eyes, hope that said he wouldn't be rejected. Hope that said he had been waiting for this day, or maybe pleasantly surprised that he had a mate. It was a sudden realisation, too premature for me to act appropriately.His mere existence had destabelised me. Something meant to be a catch-up trip had just turned my life upside down.All I could think about in those months were David and our
Puppy Love   134 Dark Knight and Shining stars
~Jewels~Three agonising days passed. The days have never dragged or seemed as long as they did in these three days.I tried to help my mother with the lab, but she refused. Her behaviour hinted that Charlotte might have divulged my predicament to her.She had the I-told-you-so look in her eyes, and it made me angry.The fact that I had the silver bracelet on all the time and had to wear long sleeves did not help matters either.I spent the days avoiding being alone in a room with Jacob, who continued to stare at me intently, wanting to speak to me in private.I knew I was being a bitch, but I was still trying to decide on what to do.Although it was just three days, I could see how well Jacob had blended with my family and friends.With him, we will never be out of place. David was a bit of a snub. My sister hated him, and I knew my cousins, especially Liam, Marvin, Oliver, and Miles, would hate him too. I knew it, and I had spoken to David to tone the attitude down, something he was
Puppy Love   135 The Remaining Rooms
~Justin~ Five days had passed since Aunt Claudia and Erik's arrival. We were idle since we had done all our intended work upon arrival. Aunt Claudia was too busy for us to question her about Ellena, so I decided Uncle Vino would answer the questions when we got to Lucland. Finding the cure for the D3 virus was important, especially since they had failed in the past. I could sense the pressure on them, and it would have been insensitive to question Aunt Claudia about Ellena. The idleness made the wait agonising. Noah and Sebastien refused to share what they were working on with me, so I knew they were on to something. Whatever they were trying to find was important enough for Jacob to want to remain in the house. Jacob would have had a room at Adrian's house but opted for the couch in the twins' room. It also seemed they were having mini-night parties I wasn't invited to. Sophia didn't help matters. Harper and Josephine had reorganised her outfits, and she was killing me with her

Puppy Love   158 A New Life
~Sophia~ Justin's kiss was sweeter than the last I remembered. He had stayed away from me for a while, and I was mad at him for it, but I knew he would make it for my eighteenth birthday. I knew he would come, and I anticipated it. He stayed away mainly because he didnât want to cross the line, but tonight, fate told us it was okay, and we embraced it. My tears could not stop flowing. They were tears of joy and relief. I was grateful. So grateful. Justin lifted me in his arms and carried me inside; my eyes remained fixed on him, not caring about the surroundings. I knew he had put a lot of work into it, but we had to finish our unfinished business before we attended to the other stuff. His gaze remained on mine, making me giggle. âYou look so beautiful tonight, Sophia,â he said, and I was glad he liked the effort. It was for him. Laying me on the bed, he kissed me and travelled from my neck to my sweet spot. Justin was a guy who liked to make out a bit rough and overwhelming, b
Puppy Love   157 In A Short While
~Justin~ I stayed away after we had solved the case and made all the arrests. Things had not ended well for many people who were on the wrong side of the law. For the rest of us, we had moved on. Rachael ended up with her mate, who happened to be a Stepanov from one of the ten Ruling houses in the west. It was as if she knew she was meant to be with a great man all along, and fate had answered her prayers. As much as I did not want to discuss the punishment for the criminals, I just have to say most of them had been killed. There were scheduled executions for most of them, as there were many. The King wanted everyone involved to pay, no matter how small their part was. Fortunately, Uncle Vino had pushed for Jessica, something I knew Jewelles had everything to do with. She got fifteen years of sentencing, not after they asked Adrian and Rachael if they were okay with it. They both had moved on and didn't care what happened to her, so she was lucky there. At least she will get to see
Puppy Love   156 The Resolves
~Liam~ One week passed, and Adrian Jacob, Harper and Jewelles returned to Lumas. Our parents had made a series of arrests. The activities were all over. Underground warehouses were found, crime lords were arrested, and factories were shut down. Unknown to my father, this operation started shortly after they defeated Yuri, and it was started by none other than Walter Armstrong, Nelson's lab technician, who messed up the D3 formula and destroyed Cones Village. The real reason behind the ban. Apparently, the defective D3 did not come from Nelson's lab but from one of Walter's makeshift labs that he tried to pass off as Nelson's goods when he was building his crime Network. Unfortunately for him, he was apprehended and locked up. His mate, Natasha Armstrong, being his partner in crime, feared that the law would catch up with them, so she faked her death, abandoning her children with lots of unpaid debts and an uncertain future. The cold-hearted bitch did not bother to look back. Nata
Puppy Love   155 Dominate Me
~Jewelles~ A week had passed since we discovered the truth, and our parents worked tirelessly to arrest all implicated. During the arrest, we discovered an underground recruitment for warriors. We might never know what the sick bastards planned, but I was glad we could trump their plan before it was in motion. The biggest mistake they made was to take Sophia. If that parcel hadnât been delivered to Luna Glenda, the traitor and murderer, we wouldn't have been the wiser, and they would have gotten away with their crimes unnoticed. As much as Jacob hid his pain, I could see it. His mother was one of the people who would receive a long sentence. She would have been executed, but I had pleaded with my father to put in a word for her for Jacob's sake. Jacob didnât ask me to do it, but I knew it was eating him inside. He found out what I did this morning, flipped and hasn't spoken to me. It has been a long, agonising day. Jacob was also yet to seal the deal. He was mad at me for taking m
Puppy Love   154 Finally What I Want
~Charlotte~ After spending time with everyone in the garden, Caspian and I decided to retire. Our parents were so busy with arrests and judgements that we did not have a general dinner, but it was okay. Snuggled in Caspian's Arms in our room. Aunty Tamia planned to give Jewelles, Harper and me permanent rooms in the estate. They wanted us to always have a reason to come home with our mates. I could understand, and I appreciated it. Our rooms were still being renovated; they were in the Delta wing of the mansion. Many rooms were unoccupied there, and since our family was expanding, we would be given rooms there. All of us, including the guys. That way, we will all be in one wing when we are around. I could not believe everything was finally over. Although there had not been any sentencing yet, our part of the investigation was over. Our parents had dreaded it leading to war, but it didnât this time. It might have if they had successfully mass-produced their Agk32 to create an army.
Puppy Love   153 ReminiscingÂ
~Justin~ While Sophia was with her father. I decided to make some plans. The case seemed closed on our side. We had finished the initial assignment, which was figuring out what happened that night. Uncle Sylvester had also explained that only people with jurisdiction can interfere with the case onward. There wasn't much to do but pick up the people mentioned. It was over, meaning an alpha would be appointed for Grizlo. It meant we would have to get to our normal lives, and I could not see a normal life without Sophia. I was nervous now that her father had been found and he would be free. I wondered if she would feel the same. I hoped to drag the case a bit longer, but it was impossible. I decided to call the staff at my house in Lucland to fix the place up. I wasnât sure why, but I knew that once Sophia turned eighteen, I would not hesitate. She had asked me about where I lived in Lucland. I planned to spend time with her there and live with her in the near future if she would hav
Puppy Love   152 Mike's Angle Â
~Justin~ It was time to question Mike, and Noah was the first to link me. Of course, he would be eager. He had a theory, and Mikeâs account would help him fit the pieces together. His reasons differed from Liam's and mine. Mike was a puzzle Noah and Sebastien wanted to solve, while we wanted to find a way to save Sophia and exonerate Mike if he was innocent. Jellewes came with Lily to get Sophia. My entire team would have to be present at the questioning, so Harper and Jo would not be available. I needed Lily and Jewelles to help take her mind off what was happening. Jewelles and Lilly planned to keep her occupied until after the questioning. I thanked them for their kindness. Although Lisa's team were not invited, Lisa insisted to be a part of it. My sister was overzealous like that. I couldn't wait for her to settle down and get on with her life. Tanya had returned home to her mate. The entire ordeal with Harper had shaken her completely. I doubted she would be volunteering for a
Puppy Love   151 Telling Her Â
~Justin~ After planning our questioning strategy with my team, I spent time with Sophia. We planned to question Mike in the evening to avoid dragging the investigation too long. Adrian wanted to take Harper back to Lumas in two days. Likewise, Jacob and Jewelles, so I knew we had to move quickly. Although I hoped they would stay a bit longer. It was fun having them around. I didn't feel so old. Usually, I was forced to act like an uncle to my cousins, and that made them uncomfortable around me, and they saw me as boring, but with Caspian, Adrian, and Jacob in our team, I was more comfortable now. I had also made new friends who were now part of my family. Caspian wasn't leaving until the case was done, but I hoped Adrian and Jacob would stay a bit. Not that I will tell them. Sophia had spent the morning with the ladies. Harper had come to get her, and I think it helped her a lot because she felt a lot better knowing Harper and Lily were fine and werenât traumatised by the inciden
