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
Puppy Love 137 Tell Me What That Was About
~Justin~ I woke up with Sophia cuddled in my arms. What I did to her last night played in my mind, and I hoped things wouldn't be awkward between us. She seemed deep in sleep, so I figured the orgasm must have been intense. I gently snuck out of bed to prepare for the day and figure out what was happening, especially between Jacob and Jewelles. It took me less than thirty minutes to get ready, and by the time I was done, Sophia had woken up from sleep. When she woke up, she covered herself with the sheets, and it looked cute. I went to her and sat by her bedside. "You don't want to feed my eyes this morning?" I said, and she looked shy. I leaned close to kiss her, but she moved away, so I kissed her forehead, realising she wasn't comfortable with her morning breath. Her reaction and the fact that she would not say anything because I was close were cute. "I will wait until you are eighteen, Sophie, and then, I won't need to be careful again. You aren't going anywhere. Whatever y
Puppy Love 138 Lunch With The Family
~Liam~ I was nervous and eager at the same time. The flight to Lucland made me play multiple scenarios in my mind. I never went home before claiming Josephine; it happened on its own. I didn't know if my parents would approve of our actions. They knew Josephine and I were fated, and we had gone home several times together. The only people who did not know were Josephine, Harper, Charlotte, and Elizabeth's team, but all our parents knew. They couldn't take offence with that. I looked at the others on the plane. We were not flying commercially. Jacob opted to use his private. He really knew how to spend money. The look on Adrian's face when he said he bought a private jet for the pack was priceless. The guy was annoyed, but he let it go. Locke had businesses spread throughout the continent, and they were silently wealthy until Jacob took over and exposed their wealth. Looking in Jacob's direction, I could see that his main focus was now Jewelles. I wondered what would happen to Je
Puppy Love 139 Work For It
~Sophia~ I never knew a man's touch could feel as good as it did the way Justin touched me. I had secretly vowed never to allow anyone to touch me again, but my resolve had waned as I spent more time with Justin. Jo and Harper filled my head with fantasies about him liking me. I didn't believe them at first until when he kissed me. I had been controlling my desire, and letting it out the way I did was very unlike me, but Justin did that to me. He also had control and only gave. He did not take, not even once. Somehow, I knew he wouldn't if I had asked him to go all the way. He had control even in the heat of passion. My nerves tingled at his touch, my toes curled, and he took me places. The orgasms he gave me were better than the ones I gave myself. Somehow, my touch would never be enough again, and I knew it. When he acted as if what we did was normal in the morning, I knew it wouldn't be the last time, and it wasn't because he touched me again, but when would be the last tim
Puppy Love 140 Tea And Football
~Sophia~ Justin held me in my bed, and I fell asleep in his arms. I didn't wake up until he woke me up. I was a bit slow in the beginning. The orgasm I got drained me completely, but soon, I realised we had a tea party to attend and the rest of the family to hang out with. I would lie if I said I wasn't nervous because I knew the queen might want me to recount what happened to me. I was stronger than I was at the time that I was found, but I doubted if I had it in me to relive the memories. If only Queen Tamia would allow me to enjoy the tea party peacefully and not ask me. I will appreciate it, but that was the only reason I was brought to the Volkov estate. It wasn't to hang out with friends or make out with Justin, whom I was developing feelings for. It was to tell them of my ordeal and give names, some of which had been caught already, but there was a belief that the older ones might figure out things that Justin's group had missed in my recount of the story. Justin must have n
Puppy Love 141 Apprehend Him
~Justin~ Everything happened so fast. Sophia was screaming, and Sebastien kicked the football hard right at David. His aim was good, too. The force surprised David, but Elaine and Charlotte had already apprehended him before the guards could come. I watched Charlotte give him a punch. While the kappas tackled him to the floor, Sophia kicked and spat on him. She was angry, and there could be only one reason for that rage. He must have touched her sometime while she was in captivity. The scum. I rushed to Sophia and held her. She was shaking as if reliving a memory again. She held me and buried her face against my chest while I tried to calm her down. She was completely spooked, and everyone was silent. Uncle Sylvester was in shock. This was supposed to be a fun evening, but it turned into this. "How is she?" My mother said, approaching us, and I signalled her to stay away. I doubted Sophia would want anyone to touch her right now. "What was his role? We need to know so we can ge

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 didn’t 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. “You look so beautiful tonight, Sophia,” 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 hadn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t this time. It might have if they had successfully mass-produced their Agk32 to create an army.
Puppy Love 153 Reminiscing
~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 wasn’t 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
~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 Mike’s 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
~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 weren’t traumatised by the inciden
