Chapter 14

Veronica's POV

At that instant, he turned on the lights and I was faced with a very angry alpha.

My legs quivered where I stood and I tried to make up words. Perhaps I should have told him before the leaving the house.

" I went to..." I was starting to say but my voice faltered and the anger in his eyes only seemed to deepen.

" Answer me!" He growled out at me.

" My husband he..." I started saying again, the tears beginning to spring up in my eyes.

" I hired you without knowing who you were. Are you a spy?" He asked and I felt my heart sink.

" What no, I would never do that!" I said in order to defend myself.

" Then why are you sneaking out at night? To feed my enemies information about me?" He asked again.

I could not understand why he was so paranoid, why he looked as though he was ready to bury me into the ground in that instant..

" No, I got a call from my bank saying my husband froze it. I went to meet up with him to ask why." I said.

His gaze seemed to soften as he t

    Chapter 15Veronica's POV It seemed as though the only thing we needed for the bond between cade and I to finally click was just the meeting at his school.I took him to the park the next day and there, I began to discover new traits about him that I did not know existed in the first place.He was a jovial and lively child that enjoyed playing in the sand. His tough facade was just a way to keep out the people he felt insecure about and for the first few weeks, I was sure that things were perfect,just how they were.Alpha Lloyd stayed away from me and would not talk to me if it did not involve cade and I was grateful. The last thing I wanted was another man in my life who would make me fall in love with him and then leave at the slightest whim.When I arrived with Cade from school that evening to be met by a foreign woman, I had contemplated my next line of action.In those two seconds that I spent staring at her, a billion thoughts had raced through my mind. Perhaps she was one of a

    Chapter 16 Veronica's POV The shock kept me from saying anything, even as she opened her mouth to talk. " Did you see that Monica dear? She is trying to poison me! I don't know what it is about her that she finds so special. I would make sure Lloyd fires her. She is so rude!" She said, going on and on in a bid to justify her actions. I was angry, my fingertips already cracking from the amount of pressure I placed on them as I dug into my palm. " That is not fair! Stop that!" Cade yelled at her. " You rotten child! Shut your stupid mouth or I would shut it for you" she yelled back. " You won't dare!" Cade said. I just stood there, watching both of them banter until she got up, heading towards where cade stood firmly and raised her hands. " And what is going on here?" The voice of alpha Lloyd boomed, causing everyone to jump, startled. Cade ran to meet him, his eyes tearing up. " Your new girlfriend was about to hit me" he said. Alpha Lloyd's eyes formed into sti

  • SURROGATE MOTHER TO THE ALPHA PUP   Cade's departure

    Chapter 17Veronica's POV The words died in my throat as I looked at his shirtless chest, wondering just how he was able to take his shirt off so fast.Those abs, perfectly sculpted like they were owned by Adonis. I could almost feel how rock hard they would be, the temptation of running my hands along the lines of his veins proving too strong to resist.I traced his veins, looking from his sculpted abs, up to his beautiful neck and then his chiseled jaw, and finally his face, that face that was now set in a scowl as he looked at me." Looking for something or you just wanted to stare?" He asked.My mouth suddenly felt dry again as I cleared my throat. I hated this feeling. This feeling that made me feel like I was a little teenage girl, giggling at her boy crush." No I'm sorry...I um...I wanted to...I wanted to ask if you were being serious?" I said, finally managing to get the words out after what felt like an internal struggle.He raised his brows at me." Did I say anything that

    Chapter 18Veronica's POV He pulled into his company first, the whole ambience and setting it the company the exact same thing as the kind of personality he had.Cold and ruthless.A man with hair styled nearly to perfection showed up, a cheeky grin on his face as he looked at me in the car." And who is this beauty?" He asked, winking at me, making my cheeks go a shade brighter.I saw alpha Lloyd give him a side glance, one that could almost be mistaken for a glare if I did not know the kind of person he was." She is cade's nanny and my date to the gala" he answered before I could talk, almost as though he did not want me communicating with him.He got into the car, his eyes glinting." Well my lady you look ravishing and there is no one more fit to accompany such a dreadful alpha to the meeting" he said.I stared at him in surprise. The surprise of just how playful he seemed to address alpha Lloyd, as though he was some sort of kid." I am azriel, alpha Lloyd's beta and probably t

    Chapter 19Veronica's POV I felt my throat go numb as I looked at him, wondering if this was perhaps a joke or if he was trying to test me, perhaps to see my reaction." I take it that it is not that serious?" He said again and that was when I knew he was being serious." I don't want anything to do with them again "I muttered, my voice small.He probably thought I was weak, perhaps wondering why I did not want to take back something that was rightfully mine, but I knew I could not do it again.I could not face her and pretend like I was fine, I could not stand anywhere near all of them.I was better off this way..The next store we walked into was more reserved than the first.The excitement of going on a shopping spree was now reserved and even though I tried to look enthusiastic, all I really wanted to do was go into my room and curl up into a ball and cry." We have new arrivals for the miss. what are you looking for in particular?" The woman asked when we arrived." Dinner gown

    Chapter 19Alpha Lloyd's POVI could not understand her. From the very first time I saw her, I knew I did not want anything to do with the demons she was fighting. I wanted her to take care of my son and that alone.But somehow, I found myself picking up my phone that night to call Azriel, my hands tapping the mahogany wood as I waited for him to pick up." I knew you would call. So what are we doing?" He asked.I could almost imagine the smirk on his face as he said that, I hated when he knew what went through my head and I also hated the fact that he did not fail to show that he knew it too." Well then, I guess this would be a short call since you already know why I'm calling. I want those designs taken down. Whoever works for the company or sponsors the company, I also want them backing down. Don't go around spreading my name like it's a Bible verse. All I want you to do, must be done without her knowing who did it. Do you understand?" I asked him." Way ahead of you boss. Don't

    Chapter 21Veronica's POV The fact that he was staring at me with eyes wide open made me know he had the same thought in his mind as me.It was the first time I saw a remote emotion from him that was not anger or boredom." I did not come all this way for this. Get me another room right this instant" he said.Like all rich men, he has a fragile ego, and I could tell his ego was badly hurt right now as he looked at the woman who seemed to not care about his yelling." I would advise you to keep calm sir as this is a business area. I apologize deeply for the inconvenience. I would have contacted nearby hotels for you but hotels here don't accept bookings from other hotels when it's past seven. Please bear with us for at least this night and I can promise you that I will have another room ready for you tomorrow morning" she said.He wanted to talk, perhaps to argue again but I hated the attention that he was beginning to draw to us, so for the first time, I decided to try my best to cal

    Chapter 22Veronica's POV I had seen him shirtless so somehow, I thought I would be prepared to see him shirtless again but nothing could prepare me for this.I stared at him for what felt like hours, looking at his perfectly sculpted muscles, the water dripping down from it slowly, his hair still wet from his trip to the shower as he dried his hair with a towel." If you keep staring at me like that I would be forced to kick you out of the room. Perhaps you would sleep at the bar or something" he said.I swallowed heavily, my throat drying up as I looked away. What was wrong with me? He was just a man with a perfectly sculpted body. I have seen enough in my life.I did not have to become so attached to looking at it. Even though it was a struggle, I managed to pull my eyes away from his body, choosing to focus instead on the balcony that was now letting in fresh air." You can go use the shower. I would order something to eat. Do you need anything?" He asked.I shook my head even th

    Chapter 82Veronica's POV.What came after her declaration was pure fear.fear of the unknown and of the fact that they could be dead. And if they knew I was alive too, I would be killed too." I will try my best to help you. My wife will be back home soon too so we will help you scope out the area and tell you what is up with your family. I hope you do remember who they are..." She said.I nodded slowly, the pain of the remembrance almost greater than the pain I would have faced if I didn't remember them in the first place.Just then, as I opened my mouth to tell her what I thought, the door opened and another woman came in, muscular and tall with a taper fade hair cut that seemed to frame her face dangerously well.She gave me a small look of surprise before finally turning to look at Chloe where she stood."

    Chapter 81Veronica's POV I knew I was dead. Or at least I thought I should be dead. But I could not phantom why it hurt so much.My head, my shoulders, and my lower abdomen.I couldn't open my eyes..or perhaps I could, I was just not willing to try because I did not know what would await me when I did.Willing myself to finally Garner the courage, I pushed my eyelids open, the stinging darkness biting through my lids like a venomous creature, slowly forcing me to close my eyes again and open them.With my eyes now adjusted to the darkness, I could see that some strings of sunlight peeled from beneath the drapes that covered the windows, casting the room in utter darkness.Then, with the little courage that was now slowly starting to blossom in my stomach, I tried to get up, my legs feeling like lead as they finally hit the floor.I had taken just two steps when my feet decided to take a break, giving way almost instantly.I groaned, the shoulders that were already in max pain now ig

Is something wrong?" Callum asked.The both of us had an unspoken rule to not talk to each other again after we thought his betrayal over. And for the first time, he felt incredibly remorseful for his actions.His solemn speeches And suddenly vocal eyes made it hard for me to yell at him just how I wanted to." Eve got to Veronica already" I said, the air suddenly feeling polluted as the words left my lips.He went through the four stages of grief pretty quickly but seemed unable to move towards the last stage."

    Chapter 79Veronica's POV It was one of those days when I could not feel my lower body because of how round my stomach has gotten in a very short span of time.I wobbled towards the kitchen cabinet, placing the vegetables back in the pot and allowing them to steam.It was three weeks. Three weeks of not hearing from any of them. Three weeks of not knowing if they were dead or alive.The urge to burst out of these walls and go back to look for them was one that kept me up most nights, but I still stayed.For the sake of cade and the fact that his mother swore to the goddess that they were fine, just busy.It was almost as though we were under house arrest. I was not allowed to step out of the door, the personal doctor alpha llyod hired being the only one thst could see me.But I still felt angsty. Like something was not right even though I could not place my hands on it.I had barely finished boiling off the vegetables when my phone rang, startling me.I walked towards where I had pla

Three years in jail was enough time for me to think things through, for me to bring my plan together.I knew they would try to pull a stunt eventually, but I was prepared." We already fortified the drug farm just as you said alpha. No one and nothing Is slipping through the borders without the guards having knowledge of it." My second in command and the only reason why all this was going so smoothly, Ben said.I nodded my head, taking another swig of my wine, the taste hitting my buds and drawing a satisfactory sigh from my lips. It was not like the ones I got in the prison. This was more expensive. And definitely tasted like luxury." Alpha I think there is something you should know. The surveillance camera picked up an odd looking van just situated outside the gate, I think someo

I doubted him from the moment I laid my eyes on him but callum was so confident about his expertise My heart still managed to beat rapidly in my chest as I thought about Veronica and cade, wondering if I had made the right choice, if they would have not been safer with me by their side." I heard you are trying to investigate the drug syndicate, eve?"the man asked as he sat down." Yes. My friend here says you know her and can be of help" I said, trying to stifle the voices of doubt in my head." Know her? I have been hunting her. That slippery eel got out of jail by false means and I'm still trying to prove it to the government when I got your call a few days back. Do you know for a fact that she is still running the drugs deal?" He asked.Callum shrugged slightly." Well I won't precisely say we know for a fact. It's more of a hunch that is bound to me right" callum said.His face scrunched up in obvious disgus

The thought of it pissed me off so I tried to not think about it, taking into an unhealthy habit of smoking.Greg did not help much too, mostly bothered about our plan slowing down than anything else." If you know you can't do anything without your little bulk partner then I will just march into his house and kidnap the girl myself" he said.And as much as I tried to deny it, I knew he meant every single word.I took a sip of the bottled wine in my hands, now frustrated, regretting ever joining hands with him in the first place." You have nothing to say?" He asked again, clearly bitter." I don't. We will move when we have to move. But for now, stay still and stop pestering me and making me regret getting you out of jail in the first place" I snapped at him.He opened his mouth to say something but a knock on the door stopped him.He walked over there instead, pulling the door open. I could not see who it was from where I sat, b

Just like that.The moment the car exploded, I had fallen to my knees in shock and surprise, trying to calm my palpitating heart as I made my way to callum's car.Alpha llyod was fuming with anger, muttering incoherent words about how he would make her pay.It was no shock when the police officers pulled up to take out statements and after what felt like a lot of procedures, callum finally drove us home." Do you think we should get them somewhere safe? At least until this all blows over?" Callum suddenly asked, slowly pulling into the driveway." I was just thinking that too. They can stay with my mother. She has more than enough facilities to make sure they are safe. We can call the police again and then go on with our private investigators" alpha llyod responded but I was not going to let them." I'm not going anywhere. Cade can stay with your mum and

Whatever she said she meant it.And somehow, threatening cade was just the beginning.I hopped out of the car, walking towards the hospital, cade tightly secured in my arms.She was seating there, her face ashen white as she stared into the distance.Her eyes lit up as she looked at cade,.opening her arms wide and watching him run into them." Oh I'm so glad you are okay" she said, kissing him on the forehead softly." Are you okay? You look a bit pale" I said to her."
