Puppy LoveĀ Ā Ā 51 Sounds like a Plan
~Liam~ "Hi, Li," Harper greeted with a noticeable lack of happiness in her tone. "You took a while to call. Remember, I mentioned I wouldn't call unless you did," she mentioned, and a wave of guilt washed over me. I knew Harper would have reached out had the situation been reversed. "I apologise, Harper," I conveyed over the phone, to which she let out a sigh. "Don't worry. I understand that you all have hectic schedules," she responded, her voice tinged with a sense of yearning. "Did you really ask Father if you could join us in Grizlo, and he declined?" I blurted out. "I did. I approached him after the selection was finalised. I had hoped to be on Justin's team, Li, but he turned me down. He told me to wait for the next group. Then Elisabeth's team was assembled, and my name was nowhere to be found. I can't fathom why he's behaving this way. I might be a delta, but I'm fully capable," she said, her voice wavering with the threat of tears, as I anticipated she would mention. "M
Puppy LoveĀ Ā Ā 52 The Findings.
~Liam~ We listened to Caspian, and his insight made a lot of sense. Putting it the way he indeed made the problem seem grand, but only time would tell. "I believe we should delve deeper into this matter. For now, focusing our investigations at the Grizlo docks seems pertinent, given Caspian's assertion that Thompson has received a higher number of these illicit shipments through his port compared to Cain Island. This pattern might extend to other locations as well. If there's a surge of these contraband items entering through Grizlo, it could signify the presence of an unknown cartel in that region," Charlotte suggested, her words unveiling a significant angle. "Agk32 holds substantial value on the black market. Nevertheless, we must acknowledge the potential for harm outweighing its benefits, given that Eric Stepanov isn't the producer. Nelson Stepnaov shut down his D3 lab fifteen years ago due to concerns regarding Agk32 and its byproducts. It's plausible that someone with previou
Puppy LoveĀ Ā Ā 53 Margret's Arrival
~Liam~ We proceeded to the area where Margret was confined. I was allowed access to her while the others remained outside the room, observing her through the glass and listening to our conversation via the speakers. She was securely bound with silver restraints, and despite her dishevelled hair and smudges on her face, she didn't appear to have been physically harmed. "Margret," I addressed, and her gaze widened. There was a sense of optimism in her expression that piqued my curiosity. "What happened to you? Why were you found at the docks in Cains?" I inquired, and she nodded, her eyes moist with tears. "I was supposed to go to the Brighton's house for cleaning. I had prepared for the task when three men wearing Ski masks showed up. I knew I was in trouble. They drugged me, and the next thing I knew, I was on an island. I had no idea why they had taken me. They inquired about Lady Stephanie and Alpha Jake's presence at the house, and I confirmed it," she shared while choking back
Puppy LoveĀ Ā Ā 54 To The Airport
~Liam~ Knowing Harper would be on her way soon, I woke up early. Josephine stirred in her sleep a bit, and I contemplated bringing her along. I would love to bring her with me, but I did not want to trouble her rest. "Just wake her already and stop staring," Alex said in my head, and I sighed. My wolf could be a bit pushy sometimes. He had behaved reasonably since we returned from the park, so I was hopeful. I often wondered how my father was able to tame Knight. He said it took years of practice, but my wolf is more stubborn than his. I see Alex more like Kaira, my mother's wolf. She is impulsive to date, no matter how my mother tries to mask it. Kaira is the most impatient wolf I have ever met, followed by Aurora, Aunty Amelia's wolf. I wondered if Onyx was like that, too. Most of the wolves I know aren't tamed; they have just been through so much that they have had to grow up. I gently touched Josephine, and she turned face up, still sleeping; she looked beautiful in her slee
Puppy LoveĀ Ā Ā 55 A Little Freedom Is Harmless
~Liam~ We rode in utter silence for a while. My heart was beating fast, and Kappa Wilson looked spooked. He understood that Harper wasn't supposed to be in Grizlo. "Are you not supposed to be on Lisa's team?" Justin asked Elaine, and she shrugged. "I told them I wanted to be on your team, and my father said no. Lisa is too bossy, and I can't deal. Luis is better off with her, but I am sure we will have issues if I am ever on her team," Elaine said, leaning closely to Oliver, who held on tightly. I knew he was worried, too. My father, Lord Alexei and Alpha Devin would be mad when they found out. "What are we going to do, Li?" Oliver linked me, and I had to tell him the truth. "I do not know, but let's hope we don't all get in trouble. I asked Harper to come but didn't expect Layla and Elaine to follow," I linked him back. "Our folks are going back to Lucland today," Harper said to me, smiling. I could tell she knew she had put Justin and me in a severe mess. "I am sorry, Li, but
Puppy LoveĀ Ā Ā 56 Jolly Happy Us
~Liam~ After the call, Justin joined us and seemed to be laughing. I did not know what was funny, but I suspected something was happening in the room where the others were. "What is going on?" I asked Justin. "Marvin isn't having it easy with Alpha Devin. Lord Alexei was cool about Elaine being here, almost as if he expected it, but Devin hasn't taken it easy. He demands that Layla hop on the next available flight back to Mountain, and he also says she is grounded," Justin said. I felt sorry for Marvin, but we all knew that would happen. Alpha Devin had explicitly explained that he would not allow his children on this mission. I wondered why Layla felt it would be okay to defy her parents despite the kind of father she had. "Marvin asked me to speak to Alpha Devin, but I refused. Even I did not want to be on the receiving end of his wrath. Marvin is trying to see if he can get Uncle Leo to speak to Devin. I told him good luck with that because I doubt Uncle Leo will get involved, b
Puppy LoveĀ Ā Ā 57 Settling In
~Harper~ Coming to Grizlo was just what my soul needed. Liam had come through for me, and I was grateful. I knew I should have opened up to my twin about how I felt, but how could I when I knew he had personal issues that he was dealing with. Talking to Liam about my problems would have been selfish because I knew he would somehow find a way to shoulder my burden. Had I known he had somehow healed and moved on, I would have told him how I felt. I respected Liam for staying committed to the cause even though his heart had changed course. I always knew it wouldn't work out between Sophia and Liam. They were the definition of our parents with their exes. They were just too close and spent so long together to ignite a spark. The fact that Liam could be rational about Sophia said it all, but he also needed to put himself out there to discover this on his own, and somehow, he did with none other than Josephine. I had never seen Josephine so full of life as I saw her when we arrived
Puppy LoveĀ Ā Ā 58 What Awaits Us On Cain's Island
~Charlotte~ I could not believe Caspian and I were heading to Cains. Although Marvin and Oliver were tagging along with their girlfriends, it was still going to be a thrilling experience. I was head over heels for Caspian, and I could tell he felt the same way. I understood Liam's need to be cautious, but I hoped they would know they had nothing to worry about where Caspian was concerned. I trusted him completely, and he had opened up his heart to me. "Our flight is in an hour," Caspian said to me, stroking my hand gently while we sat side by side on the couch in the lounge. "I am excited, Caspian, and a bit nervous about meeting your family," I confessed. He pulled me close and landed a gentle kiss on my lips. "You have nothing to worry about, Charlotte. It is an honour for them to meet you. My mother was a bit afraid when I told her who my mate was. I am sure they will be on their best behaviour and pamper you there. They have wanted me to settle down for a bit now, and now th

Puppy LoveĀ Ā Ā 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 didnāt 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. āYou look so beautiful tonight, Sophia,ā 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 LoveĀ Ā Ā 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 LoveĀ Ā Ā 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 LoveĀ Ā Ā 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 hadnāt 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 didnāt 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 LoveĀ Ā Ā 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 didnāt this time. It might have if they had successfully mass-produced their Agk32 to create an army.
Puppy LoveĀ Ā Ā 153 ReminiscingĀ
~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 wasnāt 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 LoveĀ Ā Ā 152 Mike's Angle Ā
~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 Mikeās 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 LoveĀ Ā Ā 151 Telling Her Ā
~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 werenāt traumatised by the inciden
