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 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
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 136 Breaking Personal Rules
~Justin~ Sophia was already in bed when I entered the room. She had removed her tight pyjamas and wore an oversized T-shirt. I wondered what she had underneath because her legs and thighs were bare. She let her hair fall, and she looked gorgeous. Karl growled in my head. He wanted me to go for it, but I couldn't. Her 18th birthday was around the corner. I should be able to wait and see. I wasn't going to make any promises to my wolf. I had to deliberately get my mind out of the gutters because, thanks to Karl, it was rolling in it. To do so, I decided to talk to Sophia about her birthday. We had five months to go, but time flew pretty fast. "Go shirtless," Karl urged me, and I wasn't planning to play dirty. "It won't be playing dirty. Jacob has been roaming the house shirtless, too," Karl said, and I wondered why that was. I asked Adrian if that was what he did at home, and Adrian was surprised. We both suspect he was trying to get Gemma's attention since Jewelles wasn't availab
