Puppy Love 98 The Alpha's Resolve
~Adrian~ I had thought I could live with the consequences of what happened at the after-party. I had thought it was okay that my cousin was Alpha; at least it remained in the family. I had thought it would be okay, but having to walk out of Harper's bedroom showed me how fucked up my situation was. From the moment I saw her outside the restaurant, I knew I couldn't live with what I had been living with any longer. If not for anything but for her sake. I would have let her go that night. As hard as it would have been, I would have let her go to spare her the heartache and the shame, but I couldn't. Not because she told me not to but because I couldn't hurt her and hurt myself. With all the clouds in my life, Harper was the only sunshine, the only good thing that had happened to me in a while. But it seemed holding on to her would be unfair. I walked out of the Grizlo packhouse, broken and destroyed. I told her it was a mistake coming there; I told her I wouldn't come anym
Puppy Love 99 Alpha Locke
~Adrian~ Jacob was there, entertaining the Lord. His hair was as white as Amelia and Elaine's. I had never seen him in person. This will be the first time. I knew he was their uncle, but I wondered what he was doing here. Jacob looked at me, and he seemed a bit pissed. I could see he was mad that I was late. "Maybe if you had sent a driver to pick me up at the airport, I would have arrived here faster," I linked him and furrowed his brow. "I did," he protested, and I let it drop. I bowed to Lord Newton, and he looked in my direction. "Alpha Locke, you finally grace us with your presence," he said. I felt a bit uncomfortable as it was disrespectful to Jacob. "I am the beta now," I said quickly, and he chuckled. "Nonsense. To the council and Royal family, the Lockes still own Lumans and will always own Lumas. Jacob position is not recognised by the council and will never be," He said, and I was silent. "Lumas might be small, but the Locke Family are noble and prestigious. It is
Puppy Love 100 A little Support
~Josephine~ I was heartbroken and angry when I found Harper the way she was in her room. It was obvious that she had been crying, and I did not need to guess why. I also did not need to tell her I could see it. Her swollen eyes and sadness-stricken face told me all I needed to know about the state of her heart. Heartache was something dreadful to deal with. I should know because I secretly dealt with it for a while until things changed. I had seen and observed how Adrian looked at her, and it was obvious that she meant the world to him. His feelings might be the reason he was holding back. I could understand his angle, and I could understand Harper's angle. It was wrong to condemn people for their past, but unfortunately, our society was messed up like that. I did not expect her parent to change everything. Judging from our history lessons, it was clear that the King and Queen, along with the lords and current council, had done so much to improve our world, but more still needed t
Puppy Love 101 Phase One, Of The Plan
~Josephine~ I arrived at Justin's office, and I was right to suspect Rachael would be there. She was wearing a tank top with a long Caribbean skirt that had a very long sit that left little to imagine when she crossed her legs. She was a fine woman. I would give that to her, but she was trying too hard. I could see why Charlotte and Harper disliked her. I was indifferent, but seeing what her action had done to Adrian pissed me off completely. "Hello, Rachael," I said to her, and she smiled and waved at me. She had visited a few times, but I was too busy with Liam to take my time getting to know her. If it weren't for Harper, I wouldn't have bothered. "Justin, tell your girlfriend to hang out with us. You are busy," I said, and Justin looked at me a bit pissed. I knew what he was going to say, but her eyes shined brightly when I said girlfriend. "I have something to discuss with Rachael, and it is important," He said, and I looked at Rachael, knowing precisely what Justi
Puppy Love 102 Ready To Shop
~Harper~ The look on Justin's face when we said we were going shopping with Rachael showed that he suspected we weren't being honest about our intentions, but I didn't care. I was a desperate woman, and I needed answers. "Do not do anything rash, Harper," Justin told me when we left the dining table, and I balled my fist as I ascended the stairs to prepare for our shopping mission. It was easy for him to say. I wondered if he would think the same if he were in my shoes. How could he be looking out for her? He is supposed to be on my side. "Will you get me the information I need?" I linked him, and he was silent before responding. "I am working on it. I am sure she will open up," He said, and I knew he would be gentle. He liked to abide by the law, never towing the dangerous line like the rest of us. But he had no stake in the matter, so it was normal that he would try to be logical. Liam was willing to break the rules and endanger lives for the sake of Sophia. We all thought he
Puppy Love 103 Shopping Spree
~Harper~ I wasn't feeling patient, but I knew I needed to exercise patience. What we were doing was already illegal and could get us in trouble. "I think Rachael needs some motivation," Josephine said and stood behind Rachael. She grabbed her hair in a fist and yanked it, making the woman scream and look up. Elaine held the scalpel to her face and touched it gently. "You are such a beautiful woman. I would hate to see that face marred. People bound with silver when injured do not heal well. They always end up with scars," She teased, and Racheal began to panic. "Now, last time," Charlotte said. "What happened that night?" She asked her, and Racheal opened her mouth. "We were at the party, and Adrian was sitting with Alpha Jacob. Adrian did not seem to be in a good mood. He had just lost his father, so he was still in mourning," She said, rushing her words, completely afraid. Josephine and Elaine left her and stepped away from her to allow her to speak. There was shame in Rach
Puppy Love 104 The Rest of It
~Harper~ We patiently awaited Rachael's recovery. I'd be dishonest if I claimed not to feel relief, but this wasn't the time to let my emotions break through. The urge to grab my phone and call Adrian to share my recent discovery crept in, but the memory of our last conversation held me back. His departure had left me deeply wounded, especially when he mentioned regretting coming to Grizlo. I knew he hadn't intended to hurt me, but his decision not to return had been a painful blow. He hadn't even called me since he left, and doubted he would any time soon. It seemed like I was pleading for our relationship to work, and at this moment, I resolved not to call him. Adrian's peace of mind was assured with this news, knowing he wasn't guilty. However, his unwavering love for his cousin and reluctance to reclaim the Alpha position weighed on my mind. I wasn't going to leave the decision to him. I was determined to do whatever it took: report to Justin, inform Lord Newton and reveal the t
Puppy Love 105 Might Just Breathe
~Harper~ We waited a bit. No one said anything. We were giving her time to respond to the question. "No, it wasn't," She finally confessed. "The man called me and ordered me to go to the airport. He told me Alpha Justin Pavlishchev will be at the airport, and I must ensure that I catch his attention," She said, and I laughed, knowing I was right to suspect her all along. "It took a long time before Alpha Justin called me, and I was given hell for it. They put me under a lot of pressure for not being able to catch his attention. They expected me to find my way to Alpha Jacob's house. They wanted me to force my way into Justin's life. I was a whore, after all, and they needed me to be a whore, but I couldn't. I couldn't. I dreaded that place. I hadn't been around the Alpha since I returned. I avoided him. He was kind and accommodating, and the people had direct access to him, but I never used that access. I guess they wanted me to use it so that Justin would see me the second tim
