Alexander stared at his laptop, almost going mad with the thoughts that forced their way into his head.How the fuck did all these happen and he wasn't even aware of that fact. He thought he had the most reliable information sources and now this was happening under his nose and he didn't even know.He never knew any of the things going on as it was. He never knew that Victoria and Kristen were even close enough to hold a conversation and talk more of an argument.Seriously, he needed to ask Kristen some questions and if he would be interested, warn him to stay away from Victoria because she was as dangerous as a snake. Such a cunning snake she was.She had hit Kristen's table once and it broke apart. It was funny how Kristen was clueless about her source of strength without knowing she was a she-wolf.Alex paused the video when it got to the point where Kristen was talking about Karma."Your parents getting attacked. Your mother getting killed, don't you think this is nemesis, karma,
"Alpha, are you okay? You've been standing there and looking out of space for one hour now." Killian asked, concerned while staring at Alex.Alex didn't move. He simply crossed his hand behind him and sighed."What would you do if you wronged Amanda all your life without even knowing?" Alex swallowed hard and continued."You know you're wrong but you're still asking questions, trying to discover if she was. wrong just because the guilt is eating away at your heart?""If that's what happened then I'd get down on my knees and plead with her and if she doesn't forgive me, I might kill myself. I can't even think of hurting Amanda." Killian said thoughtfully."Right, that's what I'm going to do, beg till my knees wither and kill myself if she doesn't accept me since I can't live in regret all my life.""What?!!" Killian yelled at the top of his voice."I don't mean that, I was only being unserious," Killian said. He turned to Alex but Alex was already trotting out from the room."Oh, my ba
"No, no, fucking no, she can't be my daughter," Alex said and stomped his foot hard on the floor.He brought up his hands to his waist. Each information he was getting was pointing to the fact that he could be the father to Mia.So what if he did a DNA test? Alex wondered why he was afraid of doing a DNA test, the only thing that would determine if he was Mia's father or not. His fingers shook and he fidgeted.The thought that he had hated his daughter crossed his mind and he quickly squeezed his eyes shut.******Hermes paced about the room, pissed about what Victoria was just telling him.She had ordered the guys to stop investigating the cause of her father's death. She wanted to pour all her energy into making Alex, how selfish could she be?Not that he cared much but of course, he had his plans about this and she was soiling it."What? Don't tell me you haven't found the cause of your father's death and punished them accordingly and you're still going after Melissa. Like who the
"What happened when you got there yesterday, did he die or was he saved?" Amanda asked on seeing Killian walk into the house tired. He had spent the night at Alexander's place. She was talking about yesterday when she had told him to hurry to Alexander's place or he would kill himself and now she wished that Alex was alive. The vision she had seen was not a good one.While she waited for him to answer, she helped him keep his suitcase and loosen his tie."It was nothing like what I expected. I was having a little doubt about what you said about him trying to kill himself but I only believed the moment I saw for myself." Amanda nodded in agreement. He was confirming that her vision was right.Talking about her visions. It was weird but she was a gifted witch. Not only did she know the secrets of sorcery and how to perform magic, she also saw visions of what was about to happen in the future. However, it was sad that some people didn't like to heed her words and they only landed in trou
"How the fuck do you know?" His voice was demanding and expectant."Well, you don't expect me to sit back and watch Melissa going about with her three year old baby girl without doing my research on who is the father to Mia," Victoria said, her tone almost cynical."What did you find?" Alex asked, this time like it was his last hope of being free from the course of being the father to Mia."This is what determines that you're the father to the girl after I did a DNA test," Victoria said, dipping her hand into her handbag and fishing out a small brown file.Without as much as a word, Alex tried snatching the file but Victoria was quick enough to snatch it away from his reach like she was aware he would try snatching the file from her."Desperate now, huh? I thought as much. But you know what? I'm not giving it to you, why don't you go find out if you're Mia's father yourself." Victoria said, clicked her tongue, and made to walk out of the office."Victoria, no one must see the contents
A man walked into Alexander's office and with the way he moved swiftly and precise, he looked like someone familiar with the environment.Alex looked up from his table with a creased brow. He was about to ask what the man who had just walked and his mission was when his eyebrows relaxed in realization."Zane, what are you doing here?" Alex asked, cocking his head to the s.Zane was the guy who had worked in his office for the short while when he gave Killian leave and the guy who had worked while making so many mistakes and mysteriously resigned.Alexander fixed his gaze on Zane in utter curiosity.Hermes who was now disguised as Zane chuckled and lifted his hands in the air."Looking for this?" He stared at Alex and then at the DNA test result in his hand."What's, what's that you're holding in your hand?" His eyebrows furrowed and his expression spelled confusion. Alex kept his eyes focused on the document as a feeling he wasn't sure if it were apprehension spread in his heart."Wh
"What's going on here?" Victoria asked, sharply turning to glare at Hermes. She had returned to complain about the way Alexander's security had just treated her. Seizing her immediately she got down from the elevator, emptying her handbag in front of her, and taking her file from her was not in any way funny.No one answered her. Silence was the only weapon Alex was trying to use to contain his anger.Alex balled his fist and threw his face to the other side, trying hard not to spare a glance at the poisonous snake who had turned his life upside down."Someone answer me!" Victoria yelled and within a few seconds, she was in front of Alex and snatching the paper he held in his hand.Alex would have snatched it back but he let her read through before he said a word.Alex kept staring at her keenly. He didn't want to miss a single expression on her face."Shocked that your secret would come out in the open, huh?"Instead of replying to him, Victoria turned to Hermes. "You dirty betrayed,
The next day, Alex woke up, ready to go and apologize to Melissa. He had made her go through the pain of rejection and how hard it must have been for her while she faced the struggles of single motherhood.Fatigued because he didn't sleep a wink throughout the night, he stretched out his hand to shut out the sound of the alarm.He stood to his feet and went to do his morning business. The moment his eyes caught sight of himself in the mirror, he sighed and rubbed his forehead. He looked just like the shadow of himself.After taking a quick shower, he got out of the bathroom and put on a pair of jeans and a polo shirt.Looking up, he said a silent prayer to the moon goddess, asking specifically that Melissa would find a place in her heart to forgive him.He took up his car key from where he had kept it and started out.Tapping on the remote control, he kicked start the car and drove off, determined to pay Melissa a visit in her restaurant and talk to her about his plight the moment sh
Through some intervention Alex wasn't too sure about, Melissa had escaped hurting herself or her babies after she was attacked by Victoria.Fortunately for them both, Melissa didn't also lose her life in the hospital after they went there when she went into labor.Six years later ..."Mia, go upstairs this minute and get your two brothers down or they'll be late for school." Mia mimicked her mother. Mia and Melissa laughed at the same time."Mom, I mean I'm on a break but you have no idea that Roland and Jasper pretend to be asleep even when I scream. I didn't even do that when I was their age." Mia whined. She was now in Sophomore year and on a winter break but now, it sucked playing senior sister.Melissa smiled, "come on, they are your sweet little brothers. Now, why don't you go call them to join us for breakfast? I might convince your father to take us to the park today." "Okay Mother, I'll just get the apple pies from the oven on my way back," Mia said and smiled. Over the years
As Kristen walked into the room, he could hear no sound but the sounds of heavy breathing ... And he could perceive the smell of death hanging in the air.Yes, he had trusted his instincts and walked according to his intuition and this room was where it brought him.Kristen traced his hands on the wall and when he found the light switch, he turned on the lightThe sight that greeted his sight was dumbfounding yet, it had a lovely feeling attached to it. Kristen was glad about what he was seeing but he tried his best to pull off a grim expression."Hello there. Who would have thought that Alexander would be here, slitting Victoria's throat?" Kristen walked closer to Alex who stood still, observing him."You know, you don't look like you're on her side," Alex said and then went to some sink to wash his hands off the staining blood of Victoria."And neither am I on your side," Kristen said with a sour face before he chuckled and continued."You know, I must have been joking just now. Ther
Alex worriedly walked around the hospital lobby like he had lost his mind. Melissa had lost so much blood before they came to the hospital. Coupled with this fact, the doctor had told him that there was very little chance she could come out of the operation room alive.When the doctor told him that his baby's life and the life of Melissa were at risk, he had pleaded with the doctor to save the life of his wife. Not that he didn't care about the baby or anything. If he lost his mate, he wasn't sure if he was going to still keep sane.Melissa was just someone he couldn't bear to lose.Alex wiped his sweaty forehead with a handkerchief and by the time he dipped back into his pants pocket, a look of determination masked his face.He stared at the door of the room they had kept Melissa in and a deep sigh escaped his dry lips.Alexander's heart shook the more. He didn't want to be here when the doctor would give his report about Melissa's health status. It would be so disheartening and he ju
Today was Melissa's day for a check-up and right now she was sad that Alex didn't go to the hospital with her. Normally, she wouldn't have been feeling this way but it seemed that her pregnancy hormones were really kicking in badly.Melissa could have simply used one of Alexander's cars or even gone ahead to enter a cab but then, she wanted to walk for a few. At least she'd get to think a whole lot about her life and then her legs weren't going to be pretty swollen.Alex had warned her never to walk alone. She was to walk in the company of other wolves but today she had bribed one of those men Aled had hired qs driver's and personal bodyguards so they wouldnt even as much as escort her today.All of a sudden, a cream-colored Jaguar pulled up in front of her, making her to squint her eyes in concentration.Melissa didn't know why but it was as though she was getting lightheaded and seeing some colors she knew they didn't exist in the sky on a normal pregnant-free day.A group of men ju
Kristen stopped at some certain place and alighted from the car. Sophia alighted from the car, seeing that Kristen seemed to be in a hurry."I need you to be strong with whatever you're gonna hear in there. I didn't want you to come with me but you're one stubborn girlfriend." Kristen said and held her hand as they briskly walked in.Now inside the building, the first sight that came into view was a magnanimous conference room that made Sophia wonder if there were such rooms as big as this in the world."Stop the meeting, he is no heir of my father." An old man coughed and slowly cast his gaze to the entrance where Kristen stood with Sophia beside him. "You've been dethroned, young man, you have no rights here." The old man said and leaned back in his seat as though he was already tired. He was the executive head and the oldest man in the Shelvis Cooperation. He even had this company and mafia association built with Kristen's Father."I have evidence. Evidence to show that you all a
You're home now, I'll leave you to sleep and then I'll text you first thing tomorrow morning." Kristen whispered, kissed Sophia's forehead, and got up.He was in Sophia's house right now and it was almost night. He had a lot to do and he wasn't supposed to be here but Sophia was running a fever and he had to stay with her for a while.As he was about to move, Sophia's frail hands caught his in a grip and he wondered how she knew he was leaving. When he kissed her forehead just now, she was fast asleep."Please stay with me, I can't sleep without you," Sophia uttered with her eyes still closed.Kristen sat back down on the bed and after a while, Sophia fell asleep. He tried to sneak out of the room again, but he heard Sophia say another, "Please, Kristen, don't leave me. I feel so cold and lonely."Kristen shrugged and got under the covers with her. A night of cuddling with her was going to not harm right?Despite that he had a lot of things he wanted to do that night, he decided to sh
Sophia walked along the lonely hallway of Kristen's house and at some point she almost stumbled and fell but then, she helped herself by holding her weight against the supporting wall.Her friend, Anabelle had left and immediately after, the feeling of depression started kicking in. And just like before, it was damn hard to finish a task without the thoughts of Kristen occupying her mind. Was this really how destructive the power of love could be?It all started with something playful and now, it ended with him being this special person she couldn't get out of her mind.Sophia had no idea whether he was around or not, she had come here with a spare key he had given her in the past.All her mission was to come here and pour out all her heart to him. Tell him that he was the reason she couldn't sleep, eat, or do anything at all. She wanted to tell Kristen that he was leaving her breathless. He was in fact, the air that she breaths, and now that he was away, she was...suffocating.Meanwh
"I'm sorry, Melissa, but we couldn't just be like this forever. I just came to say that I'm sorry for everything that happened over the years." Melissa's mother, Lauren said and Melissa scoffed."How on earth do you want me to do, Lauren? You fucking saw that Dad abandoned us and then you had to leave too, huh?" By now, Melissa was already emotional."Babe, we should have this conversation inside the house," Alex said and touched Melissa's arm, causing her to calm down a bit."Please come in, Lauren." Alex invited her in and then waited for her to fully enter before he shut the door.Melissa's heartbeat and breathing increased and she felt the need to use the restroom.She got up and rushed out and then when she got there, she stared at herself in the mirror before. She splashed some water on her face, still not believing that she was experiencing what really lay out in the sitting room, waiting for her.Melissa really had a bad childhood. Her parents literally abandoned her. While he
Melissa watched Alex and Mia training from afar and she smiled. After Alex found out that she was pregnant, he began to treat her like she was some delicate egg.No matter how hard she had begged to train with them, Alex had refused. Saying that from then on, she was only allowed to do the warming-up exercise and nothing else."Hey, you thirsty?" Alex was beside her before she even blinked. Before she could get her mind wrapped around what was happening, Kristen stretched a can of water to her."I can feel it when you're thirsty.""Alex, can I ask you something?" Melissa made a face until Alex asked, "What's it that you want to ask?" Alex asked as he drank a little water. He had excused himself from the training grounds just to come to be with her. That was the thing with mates. They just couldn't stay apart from each other."I want to go home. I mean, I'll keep falling sick while I'm here and I can't bear the heat and stress. of this place. I suggest that you take me home and then y
