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
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN
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
