The night was successful, or maybe not; everything was fine until I decided to be on my own. I felt like I needed to talk to Leo before I went home. I ran all around looking for him, but I couldn’t find him. Emily was nowhere to be found either, and I felt like I just needed to go home. Then it dawned on me that I still had a key to his grandparent's house, and he permitted me to chill at his place whenever I felt like I needed some space to myself.

I went back home as fast as I could and changed into something cozier. Dad was still not around, so I left him a note telling him where I was going, took the key, and hailed a cab. It didn’t take long before I got to his grandparent's house; it was just like the last time I was there with him.

Since I didn’t have so much to do, I decided to call Emily. The phone rang four times before she picked it up.

“Hey, I have been looking all over for you; what’s up?” I said almost immediately.

“I am good. I looked all over for you, but yo

    3RD PERSON’S POV“I know it is him; he took her to punish me, and I have no fucking idea why he would do something so heinous like that. You know I am already tired of these stupid games he is trying to pull; I should go meet him face to face so we could save ourselves the trouble of fighting every other time things are okay on my side.” Leo said as he paced around the room angrily.“I am sorry, but this is not a matter of you two fighting now and then; it is a matter of solving and saving that young girl; she deserves nothing but the best. You can fight Kai whenever you want, but not until we find her.” Sophia said as she tried to reason with him.“Mom, you don’t know what this bastard is capable of; he is doing this to get back at me, and I know the only thing I can do is fight back; I am not as weak as he thinks I am, and maybe it is time for me to show him that, you know what mom? I am sick and tired. Kai this, Kai that. Who does he think he is?”“Okay, I need you to calm down and

    ALPHA KAII knew it was either my father or Leo following me, but I didn’t want to take any chances. I drove straight to work, parked at my usual spot, and waited for the car to leave, but I noticed it was parked a few meters away from my company’s premises.I ignored the car and got out of it, headed straight to the entrance, passed by a receptionist before I walked to the elevators, and pressed my floor.“Have my coffee brought to my office, the usual, with two sugars and no cream, and please call in the head of security; I need to talk to him,” I told my PA as I walked straight to my office. A few minutes later, my PA walked in with the coffee and my day’s schedule; I checked through and there was no meeting.As I sipped my coffee, there was a knock on the door. I mumbled, Come in, and looked up from my computer.“Sir, I was told you wanted to see me." He asked as soon as he walked into the office, and I looked up from my computer.“Yes, and please call me Alpha Kai,” I said as I us

    ALPHA KAI’S The day seemed long to me; I couldn’t even concentrate at work. My mind ran back to the incident in the morning, to her innocent face, and to the way she kept judging me and throwing tantrums. It made me even more attracted to her; I loved her feisty side, and I weirdly missed her.“I think I should spend the night with her, get to know her, and hurry things up before Leo reaches her,” I said to myself and Beta. Brian cleared his throat. I was surprised but brushed it off.“Alpha Kai, are you now talking to yourself?” He asked, and I sighed.“What does it seem like I am doing? Anyway, what are you doing in my office?” I asked, and he shrugged his shoulders in a carefree manner.“I knocked, and I guess you were so engrossed in what you were doing that I let myself in any way; I don’t want to waste your time, and I came here because of your mom. She is in the lobby, and she wanted to see you; she asked to see you there; she is in a hurry.” He said, and I shook my head, tryin

    ARYA WAYNEI hated being kept like a prisoner, but one thing I learned about Kai was that he was willing to do anything to piss Leo off, and I knew sadly that I was being used as bait. It's not like I minded, but it's not like I had any options. Fate had it that I was a mate to two sworn-in alpha enemies; I asked for a mate, but I never asked to be a pawn in their game that I wasn't benefiting from. It was hard to decipher what their plan was, but I was slowly getting there.It had been two days since I was home with my dad; to me, it felt like an eternity. I knew my father was stressed out looking for me, and so was Leo; if only I had involved him in my life like in the beginning, maybe Kai wouldn’t have gotten the chance to kidnap me. It all dawned on me that I was the reason I got kidnapped; my selfishness landed me in trouble.The first night I tried so hard to get myself out of the house, but Kia Bastard sensed it and made it even worse for me. I couldn’t get out on my own; the do

    ALPHA KAIAfter we made dinner together, I thought we were finally going somewhere; I thought we were on the same page, but that changed that night. God knows how much I wanted to spend the night with her; all I wanted was to hold her close to my chest and cuddle with her the whole night. I needed her, but I knew I had to exercise some patience. After dinner, I led her to the room upstairs.I loved the room since it belonged to my ex-girlfriend, Kara Williams. She died when I was in my senior year. We had so many plans, including moving in together as soon as we were done with the senior year, but she was killed by wolf hunters a few days before my prom day. No one knew about the house except Kara and I, and that is why I knew Arya would be safe in the house without anyone suspecting anything.As I rested on the couch, waiting for sleep to come through, I realized that Arya was uncomfortable on the couch, but since I respected her privacy and didn’t want to keep pushing her, I ignored

    ALPHA LEOIt had been three days—three fucking days! Without seeing her, my mind was in turmoil, and I didn’t know what else to do.I tried looking for her all around the pack and around town, but all my efforts bore no fruit; everyone I sent to look for her came back with the same answer.She was not within the moonlight pack, and no one knew where she was—not even Kai was spotted with her.The statement only made me lose hope, but I knew I had to be strong for her; she needed me at the moment, and I had to be there for her no matter the distance or how far we were from each other. I still had hopes of finding her and protecting her from Kai, who had already shown me that he was not going to stop tormenting me anytime soon; he aimed to frustrate me and Arya's life too.The same gross answer I got from everyone I sent: I felt bad that I didn't check on her the days she said she wanted some space to think, and for some reason, I felt like I missed her. It was not normal for me to just m

    ALPHA KAIAfter having the best time of my life with Miranda that morning, I went to work all smiles. Everything was going well with Arya, even though I knew deep down she was hiding her true feelings. But with time, I knew I was going to crack and I was going to get to her heart; that is all I needed to win her. She was frail and fragile when it came to showing her true feelings, acting all strong and harsh to hide her emotions, but I knew how to get to her; I was slowly learning her weakness and her strength.I worked through the day happily, anticipating seeing Arya at the end of the day. Miranda passed by my office at the agreed time, and I took her shopping. Our relationship worked best because we had a mutual agreement to be friends with benefits, and she was okay with it. The money I always gave her was for upkeep, and she was cool with it.“What do you think about this dress?” Miranda asked as she tried on the 20th dress that evening, and I shrugged tiredly. She was still tryin

    ALPHA LEO LANCEI couldn’t sleep the whole night. I kept thinking about Arya and wondering about the torture she was going through. I just couldn’t forgive myself for what she was going through. If only I had acted upon the series of events going on that day, maybe she wouldn’t have gone through the whole abduction process.“This is not your fault, but as I said to you before, you should have marked her the moment you spotted her; she is the right match we have been looking for all along, but you just couldn’t listen to me, could you?” My wolf said to me, but I ignored him; he had been tormenting me ever since Arya was kidnapped, and even though I hated the torture he was putting me through, some part of me knew he was right; I had the chance at hand but ignored it.“I know you don’t want to listen to me, and you probably don’t want to hear my ideas or what I want to say, but you know I am right, so what if she is already marked as his mate? Do you want us to continue living without a

He went too soon when we had just started becoming great partners on a business project we were working on but his legacy shall always live amongst us, I owe him one and it is not only that but I wish one day when we meet, I would tell him how his life has inspired most of us, just like in the famous show I watched some years back, a great man once said, ‘Los modales hacen al hombre’ until we meet again."

    When Arya got home that evening, she was busy with Rowena, she had started spending most of the time with her daughter ever since she lost her husband. “I didn’t think you would come so early today, how was work?” Sophia asked as soon as she walked into the house, she was carrying a bag in her other hand. “Yeah, I didn’t think I would come off early too but here I am, what have you got for us today, man I am starving and I didn’t want to bother the maids so?” she said as she walked up to her and took the bag from her. “I got your favourite, I figured out you don’t like cooking when you get back from work and all that, so I brought your favourite, how is she?” “She is okay, the flu is gone and I think she is okay, she is starting to get walk on her own and I can’t wait for her to grow up, she reminds me of Leo.” She said in a low tone and Sophia nodded, talking about her son was something she didn’t feel comfortable disusing especially after his death. “I know he is watching over h

    Death is not something you would wish for your worst enemy, it strikes and reaps off our loved ones, a permanent thing with no reversal. Arya was in mourning for over one week and when they lay her husband to rest, she knew she had to partake in the duty of becoming the Alpha and continue serving her people just like Leo had always done before. “Things are not easy as they were, people have lost faith and they are still mourning their dead Alpha, I think we should give them time to recuperate and you know get back on their feet.” Beta Max reported to Arya week after the burial session was over. “No, I am the one grieving but I am here, can’t you see that, Max?” She shot back and Max sighed, he didn’t know what to say next so he just let her continue talking. “I know we are all grieving but I am here working for you guys, working for this pack because that is how much I love you guys, I lost a husband, the love of my life, the father to my baby, and my best friend but I am here at wor

    The death of the alpha of the Red Crescent pack had spread fast across the basin, and many came in to console Arya who could barely hold herself together, she had cried the whole morning, and not even Emily was able to restore her faith that everything was going to be okay, her eyes were sore red and every time she looked at Leo’s body, the more tears streamed down her cheeks. “It is going to be okay; I don’t know how well I can put this, or how I can console you or make you feel better but I am going to be here for as long as you want, Leo is gone, I know it is the hard truth to say but that is the reality,” Emily said to her and Arya just nodded amidst tears, she was sobbing uncontrollably but Emily was there for her, calming her down.“You don’t understand Em, we just spoke this morning, had a long chat with him and he even asked to hold Rowena and you know…when he said he was dying…I thought he was overreacting and I assumed, I went to the bathroom and on coming back, he was gone…

    The following morning Arya woke up earlier than usual, she breastfed Rowena at around five in the morning and went back to sleep, she was feeling tired and since Leo was still sleeping soundly next to her, she didn’t want to wake him up, she just pulled the duvet covers over them and went back to sleep. She was woken up a few minutes later by a groaning Leo, he seemed like he was in pain, she was suddenly alarmed and got up to check on him. “Babe, are you sure you are, okay? What is going on?” She asked worriedly and Leo just shook his head and moved to the other side of the bed, he was struggling to breathe and was constantly stopping to catch his breath. “I don’t think I have much time left, I am…I am dying my love…and…I don’t know what to say to you… right now but…it…is…time.” He said as struggled to breathe and Arya’s heart skipped a beat, they had just shared a great moment the previous night and didn’t think it was the last time they spent the night together and now he was try

    Days after the deep discussion with her mother, Arya had a hard time thinking over what her mom had suggested, she didn’t know if it was the right thing to do. She contemplated talking to her husband Leo about it but every time she summoned enough courage to ask him about it, she backed out and decided not to.She was currently in her force going through the week’s schedule when she got a call from Miranda, the project they were working on was doing well.“Hey, I was passing by and I thought it would be best if we discussed something on what we are working on, I will be a bit busy next week. So, I didn’t want to be an inconvenience to you in case my schedule doesn’t match out.” She said over the phone.“Oh yeah, you can come I am just around going through some files over here but I can create some time for you, where are you?”“On my way over to you now.” She responded.“Just come to

    It had been one week since Katie moved back to French Basin; she stayed in the hotel for a few days but Alfred suggested she moves in with them. Katie met with Penelope during the same week, they had a lot to discuss concerning performing magic and other issues related to the coven.“You know when Miranda’s mom told me about the impossibility of bringing my mom back, I felt bad. I felt like maybe she just didn’t want to help perform the spell and all that, so, I decided to go behind her back and bring my mom back on my own and I almost fucked things up. My mom isn’t ready to come or she just doesn’t want to come.” Penelope said to Katie one evening as they were hanging out in a café just across the street.“I know how that feels and honestly if there was a way, I could bring back everyone I have lost in my life, I would have done so a long time ago but that is not how things work my dear.
