Jay's POV: "Ah," I groaned in pain, then blinked a few times until my vision became clear. My head was aching, but not as much as my hands and legs. I frowned as I slowly looked at myself and noticed that I was tied up all around the place. "What the fuck," I whispered as I tried to move but couldn't. The ropes tied around my hands and feet made it hard for me to even stand or break free. "Think, Jay, think," I whispered to myself, then fell silent as everything played in my mind. That man I talked to was definitely behind this. But who could have sent him to kidnap me? Was he acting on his own will or was he paid to do so? For now, I needed something to cut the ropes and escape before he could realize that I was awake. When I heard light footsteps approaching me, I immediately closed my eyes, pretending to be unconscious. The footsteps stopped right in front of me, then a sigh was released. "You know, I can tell that you're already awake. Are you going to keep pretending o
Damon's POV: "Should we get out of bed?" Sherry asked softly as I shook my head. "No," I answered simply. I loved that we were trying a lot of things that made both of us comfortable in bed. The sad part was that I didn't want to stop touching her or step out of the bedroom to work. "Damon, we have been in here for days," she whined, making me laugh. "I know, but I don't want to get into the office and look at the files. I'm sure by now they must have piled up. My warriors record almost every important detail, from training to posts," I answered. "Get up now, you have to look at them. Remember the Beta isn't back yet," she pointed out. I grabbed her by the waist and moved her closer, kissing her head gently. "I know," I whispered, then froze when I heard a car loudly honk. "I'm back, Alpha," Alec mind-linked me. I quickly got out of bed and put on my boxers and trousers. "Get up, honey. Alec has returned," I announced, then went to the wardrobe and grabbed a shirt, putting
Debby's POV: I stood outside the garage, debating whether to go in or not. My mate wasn't the cool kind of guy; rather, he was giving off the pathetic asshole vibe, which made me question whether I should reject him or not. "I know you're out there. How about you come in and we talk?" he said loudly. I looked at the tray in my hands, then slowly walked in. I was avoiding talking to him, but if I wanted him to eat something, then I had to serve him food. "Excuse me," I whispered, and then walked in. He looked at my face, and shifted his gaze to the tray in my hands. I slowly put it down on the ground, then stood upright, avoiding his gaze. "Is that my food?" he asked softly. I looked at him, and then scratched the side of my ear. "Well, yes. You have to eat something and stay healthy," I answered softly. "It's weird hearing it from someone who dared to imprison me. Is the food poisoned?" he asked, as I widened my eyes in disbelief. "What the hell, I never would!" I exclaime
Alec's POV: "Why am I in the office when you're the one who's supposed to be in here?" Damon asked seriously. I had a feeling he hadn't been working or looking at the files while I was away, but gosh! How could he just do nothing about his work? "Alpha, aren't you going to help out with work in any way?" I asked back. "No," he answered with a warm smile. "Is this my punishment for being your friend and Beta?" I asked playfully. "It's actually your blessing. Now, why am I here?" he asked. "I need a favor," I answered. "And what is it?" he asked. "I want you to call Lee over," I answered. "Is there a problem?" he asked seriously, concerned. "Not really, I just want him to help me out with something," I answered. He pressed his hands on the table and raised a brow. "I'm assuming you won't tell me what kind of help you need, and that's just so wrong," he muttered in a low tone, then stood up and pulled out his cell phone from his pocket. "Since when do you carry your phone e
Olivia's POV: "Olivia, it's me," Alec's voice came through the door. Micah quickly moved behind me to hide. "Please come in," I answered. He opened the door and walked in with his brother and another man. "How are you holding up?" His brother asked me once he stood a little further away from me. "I'm okay. Thank you so much for your care," I answered. "This here is Lee, our close family friend. He is a doctor and he came here to meet you. He was surprised that I had a lover and dared me to introduce him. He is also a lame magician," Alec said as Lee glared at him. "I'm not a lame magician. Magic is beautiful," he answered, then took a step closer and extended his hand to me. "Nice to meet you," he said as I quickly shook it. "I'm Olivia. Nice to meet you too," I answered softly. "And who is that little beauty hiding behind you?" He asked when he had pulled his hand away. "This is my niece, Micah," I answered. He knelt down on one knee, looking at her. "Micah, would you l
Debby's POV: I sighed for the second time while stirring the soup in the pot. I had been given money by Damon, yet I had no idea how to use it. By now, I was supposed to find someone who would help me deliver and, at the same time, find something for myself to do. My main fear was how people would react in the delivery room if, by chance, my wolf pulled through. They would run out in fear. I couldn't go back to Damon's pack or Johnson's, and I knew no one here who would help me. "I don't know what to do," I whispered to myself, then turned off the stove and walked out of the house, deep in thought, to get some fresh air. "Good to see you here," Jay's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I frowned as I looked around in shock. I had no idea how I found myself where he was when all I wanted was to think things through alone and get some fresh air. "How are you, beautiful?" he greeted. "Crap," I whispered, and then turned to walk away. "Debby, wait," he called loudly, stopping
Jay's POV: I was biting my nails, moving back and forth like a crazy maniac. My shirt was slightly bloody, and I couldn't stay calm no matter what. When Martinez walked out of the ICU, I rushed to his side. "Tell me now," I demanded. He rolled his eyes, then put his hand on my chest, pushing me back a little. "Brother, for a doctor, you act way too scary," he said as I angrily grabbed his coat. "Tell me, damn it," I yelled at the top of my voice. "I'm sorry," he whispered sadly, and tears instantly blinded my eyes. "I'm not a failure as a surgeon. That's why my private hospital is one of the best hospitals in the world. By now, you should know that," he said as I looked at him in shock and disbelief. "Does that mean... Does that?" I asked in a cracked voice. "Yes, both the mother and the child are alive. You did well to rush them here on time. If you had let them be like that for hours, they both would have been dead by now," he answered as I fell weakly to my knees, sobbin
Alec's POV: "Are you going to go in with mama to change?" Micah asked as she licked her candy. "No," I answered with a smile. We were waiting for Olivia to step out of the changing room so we could see the clothes she had chosen. "Aren't you going to sit down next to me?" She asked. "I will soon," I answered. My mind was going back to what Lee had said to me back at the pack. "I cleared most bad memories from her, but that's not how one should be or grow up. Bad memories are the ones that molds one into the adult they are or molds their decision to be better at something or who they are. That child's memories means a lot, that's why my wiping won't be permanent. When she reaches the age of sixteen, she will remember everything and she will be able to make her own decision if she wants to ever forgive you or not. I suggest you start being a perfect father figure for her, that way she would understand what you did that for," he said. "Alec, is this that bad?" Olivia asked in a
