The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN
LANDON:When they called on Venita which was unexpected, for the most reason, my heart sank. Not that I was moved by whatever she was going to say nor was it going to have any implication on me. However, if she accepted to actually testify, that was why my heart sank. Would she do it?Standing, "I would like to decline, Your Honor, given that I don't know the case," Venita said."That's valid," the judge accepted.I gave her a broad smile. She just proved a beautiful point to me."We knew that would happen as he, Mr. Kurt has individuals loyal to a fault even if it means preventing justice. We would like to call a second witness to the stand," Anthony's lawyer, a relentless short man stated."Go ahead," the judge encouraged.None of this was getting to me. I couldn't wait for it to be over so that I would enjoy wiping that stupid smirk off Anthony's face. I was fixed on making him hurt in more ways than he could ever understand."Mr. Edwin Hunt, please come to the witness stand," the

VENITA:As Landon vanished in court, leaving me at the mercy of Greg to navigate the swarm of reporters, I chose not to dwell on his sudden disappearance. Instead, I maintained composure and had Greg drive me to a nearby store. My plan was to carry on as if everything was ordinary. Honestly, time slipped away as I perused various shops, filling my bags with ingredients for a home-cooked meal. There was a sense of grounding in the familiar routine of grocery shopping.I wandered through aisles, lost in my thoughts, occasionally picking up new books and even a computer. The decision to start studying had solidified within me, a proactive step amid the uncertainties. Today's court case unveiled a complex web of secrets and half-truths. It became apparent that everyone involved had their own agenda, seeking personal gain in the intricate dance of deception.After hours of shopping, Greg and I returned to the residence. Upon reaching the top floor, he handed me the bags and departed. Armed

LANDON:Venita made it more and more difficult to let go of her. Look at the way she cared for my injury like no one has ever done. She was the only one that cared about taking care of me while others wanted just what I could do for them and what they could get from me.After tending to her bruises throwing in a massage to relax her, she curled up in a ball ready to sleep. I just thought I should get some things off my chest."Venita?""Yes?" she yawned."I want to talk about Mirage.""You don't have to," she shut me down. "In all honesty, I have more to say. I guess the reason I'm not running the other way is because of this mate bond thing. Back in Madrid, the store you sent me to shop had mentioned to me how you were married and frequented there with Mirage. I met Mirage back in Shanghai and she narrated how you broke her heart, showed evidence of both of you being married and countless times you've cheated." Scoffing, "I'm an idiot to even believe there's just me in this. I know I'

VENITA:Here we were, sitting in court again. As always, everyone was fidgeting and worried about the soon-to-pass judgment. Landon remained indifferent, flirting with me through our wolf bond. The judge shortly entered, and everyone stood up. His voice broke through the silence. "Good morning, everyone. Today, we reconvene to proceed with the case against Mr. Landon Kurt. However, I've received a termination letter from the prosecuting party stating their withdrawal from the case."The court went into a chaotic murmur, flashes from cameras intensifying. It reminded me of the same surprise that occurred when Landon had announced me as his mate to everyone. He had an air for surprising one.All that kept ringing in my head was withdrawal. It was unexpected. What was going on? Anthony seemed determined to bring Landon down and now he suddenly backs down."Due to this development, I find it appropriate to dismiss the case. The termination is in accordance with the prosecuting party's dec

LANDON:Over the following two weeks, our journey spanned five countries—Amsterdam, Shanghai, Netherlands, and Mexico, creating a score of unforgettable moments. Amidst the allure of these diverse destinations, our days were filled with a mix of pleasure and responsibility. Unbridled passion intertwined with leisurely shopping, moments, relaxation, and the ever-present threat of work that accompanied us even on this vacation, but in a diminished capacity.With Edwin and Anthony no longer obstacles, the worry of the court case lifted, and I found myself able to shift my focus to the larger issues at hand—Clay and Mirage. Entrusting the pack to Alex's capable hands, the burden of leadership seemed to sit well with him for now.The events of that fateful night leading to Anthony's demise were not planned, yet circumstances dictated a harsh reality. Edwin, however, was a different case, a deliberate choice to rid myself of a burden. I fought with the stains of blood on my hands, acknowle

VENITA:The fact that I still broke down after mentally preparing myself that I was ready for his confession showed that a part of me was weak and broken. He had barely began his narration as we relaxed in the bubble bath when I got hooked in his arms crying like a kid who lost her toy. Landon allowed me time to recollect myself as much as I wanted before I asked him to continue. Without hesitation, he did."When the council made their decision, they placed myself and Clay to oversee it. I wanted to protest and kick against the idea of having the best scientists that could save us in future put down but I was powerless. I wanted to suggest they rather be imprisoned and kept under close monitoring but my words had no value." He casted his gaze to the bubbling water, sadness reflecting in his eyes."Is this why you left your pack?""Partly. I had already left a year prior to then but I was still making my presence noticed, making it seem I was with them. When this obscure act was comm

VENITA:“Not my best work, I’m afraid.” He sighed. “You might want to do it again.” “It’s perfect,” I smiled into the mirror, observing the braid. Landon placed his hands on my hips, turned me around, and raised his hand to run a finger down the side of my face. “I’m sorry for leaving you like that. Something unpleasant happened back at the packhouse.” I almost squealed in excitement that he could read my mind too. I sighed, pulled on his arm until he bent, and I placed a kiss on his lips. “Am I forgiven?” “Not yet. You will need to work much more for that.” He raised his left eyebrow, and his lips slightly widened. "And, what do you have in mind?""You figure it out," I huffed."Oh, I like the fact that the ball is in my court." He tickled both sides of my underarms like some little kid and I burst out laughing.Slowly, I began unbuttoning his shirt. I felt his hands on my stomach, going up and pulling on my shirt. “I better start then.” He pulled the shirt over my head, remov

LANDON:I didn't know that Anthony had put resources in place to 'expose' our existence should anything happen to him. When Cross informed me that they just found out about someone tailing us down to Dubai, that was when I decided to find out who the fucker was and deal with it. Of course, it changed my mood and I didn't want to inform Venita so she didn't worry especially with our presence endangering Sasha. Secondly, Sasha's request for me to be her father was a conversation I wished she never brought up until the time came for me to confess that she was mine.I easily saw how Venita went ice-cold when Sasha brought up the topic. You could see that she wasn't ready for such a conversation in a million years. And, the lie she told was to sever them from future ever having to talk about the topic. It also broke my heart that it ever came up. I didn't know how I was going to break the news to them if it came to that time.We were all back after Simeon had the time of her life and Sasha

VENITA:Things with Landon have been...different. Although having him back changed a lot of things, for one, Sasha starting to talk again, he zoned off most of the time. Each time he was in that state and I found him, he quickly recollected himself. As much as I would love more vacation days, Landon didn't allow that. He went back to work after beating the crap out of Jason and handing him over to the cops. Landon, as always didn't let any of his betrayers go free. He rounded them up and imprisoned them while he thought of a suitable punishment. Surprisingly, he submitted himself to his pack. More like asking for forgiveness. Something Landon Kurt hardly did. It felt great seeing this side of him. He was more level-headed. I guess that was what happens when you have a near-death experience.Here he was dragging me to an unknown location. It was so beautiful to have him back."Just tell me where we are headed. This blindfold is killing me," I nagged."We're here," he announced almost

LANDON:"Wow," I exclaimed as I made another mark on the glass, making know that I had been here for exactly ninety-one days. I have run out of everything and even hibernating wouldn't help. I threw a disgusted glance over what had served me for the last ninety-one days. Nothing was left of it except bones which were beginning to dry up.When I went back to the building, Dr. Grant had lazily gotten up, dragging me to the box that held Venita. He shut it before I could fight him off and the next thing I saw was a shockwave bringing everything down and burying us in the ground. Apparently, the box had been designed also to withstand such a blast, and around the building had a ticking bomb and a manual controller which the sicko head had activated."Of there's no evidence, then, they won't have a case," he coughed out before smiling. "My work is done. Now, I can die in peace. However, more of us will stand up in generations to come to fight against your kind. Our story would be told," he

VENITA:Before I left for my appointment with Jason, I headed to Landon's to check on things. Yes, Lanson's house. I took a few of our things and moved back there since it gave me a sense of security. With the situation, Sasha was in no shape to go back to school so, she only had her therapist and Cross training her. Cross strengthened security as he wouldn't take chances having almost died."She still hasn't said anything?" I asked Cross. Mr. Grumpy was more kind and interactive with me after he woke up from a two-day coma."She hasn't. Should we get a speech specialist to make sure they didn't do anything to her vocal cords back at that crazy lab?" He was sweaty, panting, having just come out from their last session which lasted an hour.Running my hand through my hair, "I think it's more of a psychological damage than physical because she spoke to me when we came out of the lab. She only stopped speaking once she was taken to the hospital," I explained."Let's give it time. The who

VENITA:Three months after...It has been exactly three months since we got rescued. Three months of grief and loneliness. Three months of having to stay strong not knowing if Landon was out there somewhere. I pray he was. My heart shattered every time I thought about him. My nights were terrible whenever memories of the blast came wrapping arms around me.I stepped up in so many things despite my loss. As the doctors said, my pup couldn't be saved. For the first month, all I did was lie down and cry. I refused to eat or even entertain communication of any sort. I pushed my limits, forcing Leah to search in every corner within me if my pup was still there. She always apologized that it wasn't. I lost my pup and then Landon. Things would never be the same.Since I was wheeled to the emergency room and all attempts to save my pup failed, Sasha has refused to speak. She was assigned to a therapist whom she wouldn't say a word to. I kept in touch with Peter and the companies, he was the a

VENITA:Barely able to get off the floor and into the car to drive off despite my lightheadedness, the building that my mate had run back into went up in flames.Boom! was the shattering sound that pierced my ear and sent our car off balance. I couldn't comprehend what had happened. The whole building came down. There was no way anything could come out of that place.I held Sasha by the waist as she cried out, "Daddy!" unbuckling her seatbelt, in an attempt to run out of the car. We had somehow ended up close to a massive gate. Despite the explosion that shook the entire place, we were now facing uncountable angry-looking masked men taking powerful strides toward us.This was finally the end for us. Cross was out and Sasha couldn't take on those countless guys for sure. As for myself, I was in no shape to help in any way. If only a miracle could save us.The world erupted in chaos as the deafening sound of another blast echoed through the air. Sasha, Cross, and I were still confined

LANDON:Even though we were lost in battle, Sean was, for the first time making plans about my future. It was funny because it didn't care whether I would survive this moment to fulfill that expectation. All it wanted was clarity of the path ahead."Sean shut the fuck up and stop whining in my head. I need to concentrate. You're not even helping as I'm fighting with my human strength. So, please, zip it!" I scolded, punching another guy in his stomach."Don't shush me. If I hadn't answered you, you wouldn't even have seen the human strength to fight with. So, be grateful to me," he retorted.Meanwhile, Sasha was leading the frontline of battle. She was fierce and intimidating. She hadn't fully transformed and still exacted such power. If she fully transforms, she was going to be a war goddess. Yet, I knew that I was going to get her all the help that she needed. There was no way I was going to make my baby comfortable with this life of chaos. She was a princess and her mother, a Queen
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-NINE
VENITA:The scorching pain by the side of my stomach was unbearable. I had no clue what had been done to me. Oh, my baby. My pup. Forgive me for being such a weakling. I couldn't muster the strength to save any of us.While I battled with my thoughts, an unsuspecting commotion broke out. "Sasha!" I called out. My daughter had been injected with something. If the substance was making Dr. Grant panic, I had every reason to be beyond worried.In seconds, Landon had snapped the rest of his binds with his already-freed hand. He crouched, carrying Sasha in his hands. I saw his mouth moving but couldn't hear him. The box was soundproof. His expression went pale and I saw his veins pulsing from anger.Before Thronesman could say another word, Landon dropped Sasha onto the floor choking Thronesman. He began to punch him uncontrollably on his torso before throwing him at the group of doctors, shivering in a corner.Grant shot me a displeased look, dropping everything he was doing to step out
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-EIGHT
LANDON:Seeing your whole world in boxes, reduced to nothing kills a part of you. Despite constantly falling unconscious because of what was being done to me, I reached deep within me to a place of darkness to keep me awake. When I looked around, I growled so loud that the doctor who had been injecting something into me cowered in fear. "You love the beautiful sight, don't you?" Thronesman's annoying voice rang in my ears, causing me to glare at him. I scratched and clawed toward his direction but the binds kept me in place.My mate and daughter were being tortured in my presence along with my pup who I wasn't sure was still okay yet, I couldn't lift a finger. Was this really the end for me? I always thought my death would have witnessed a happier ending compared to this sad and condescending one."Don't worry, I'm not a monster to hurt a child. Moreover, we need her more than we need you two," Thronesman informed me. The was a clicking sound and Sasha bonded on a crucifix with barbe
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SEVEN
VENITA:When I woke up, my head felt heavy and my throat felt dry. Trying to open my eyes, the light blinded me and I winced in discomfort. The room smelled like chemicals and I couldn't even move myself. Blinking hard, I started to feel my body once more. There were beeping machines and a hand on my body like something was being drawn on it.I heard a grunt almost directly above me as someone freed one of my wrists to use a hand to tightly grip my hair. I winced from the sudden pain and reached to try and pry the hand away when another hand grabbed my wrist and held it against the bed. “I’m almost done,” a low, rapturous voice said. “What’s going on?” I asked suddenly feeling a steady, constant pressure against my stomach. The hand that was burrowed into a fist of my hair tightened. A few more thrusts followed, and then the sound of a disappointed, loud moan, punctuated by something warm started to run down the side of my stomach. The hands released my hair and wrist, and I quickly s
