Alicia's POV.

I jolted up in fear as I picked up a pillow in defense as I looked at what fell down from the window.

My room was at the top of the house which made it easy for anyone to get in as far as the person was good enough when it comes to climbing trees and one person who was no longer allowed through the front door was Amelia and yet, she wouldn't take my suggestion of calling me instead of jumping into my room through the window.

"I… I… sorry for still using the window today. I know it's pretty early for that!!" She quickly apologized as she was breathing fast and unsteadily.

"One day, you'll get a knife through your heart because you never listen!!" I rolled my eyes as I dropped the pillow back on the bed.

My right hand was on my chest as it was beating fast too.

"Why didn't you call? I told you Amelia, always call when you want to see me. And you know their room is right beneath mine so probably, I guess one of them is headed up here already to scold me for whatever noi

    Elena's POV.Marie had slept over in my place and I woke up to her cursing aggressively as she looked at her phone."What the hell is this? Why are we all being called to work this early? " She sobbed playfully and I could see the annoyance that was building up as well. I picked up my phone to also see the SMS on my lock screen. "Mummy is aunty. Marie alright?" Kanu mumbled as he sat upright, rubbing his eyes as he yawned. "Yeah, she is." I chuckled softly as I pulled him in before pecking his cheeks. "Hope you slept well?" "How can aunty be alright when she just got an SMS from work?" She got up as she murmured."Okay, wake up your sister." I told Kanu who quickly poked Kiana thrice before she got up.Marie went to her house to get ready as I got Kanu and Kiana set for school too. I quickly prepared tea and we had bread, sauce and tea as breakfast because that was the only thing I could arrange because there was already an hour left to get to work. "But what was so important tha

    Elena's POV."So from today, he will be your boss. I'm sorry I never created a good impression and a better working experience for all of you as I remained as an anonymous figure after the passing away of my father." He muttered with a smile on his face. "You have absolutely nothing to worry about as Mr. Rex King is a good and understanding man. You just have to abide by his rules and you are good to go. He hates lackadaisical behavior when it comes to his business. How do you expect to make millions daily when you go about acting lazy?" He asked as everyone chuckled softly. I get what he was trying to do. He was trying to ease the tension of his workers having a new boss they know absolutely nothing about. But then, there was no way I could smile because the same man I was desperately running away from, just happens to be everywhere in my life now."Was this another of his tactics to get at me?" I furrowed my eyebrows as I stared at him. He wore a broad smile as he looked at ever

    Alicia's POV.It's been almost two hours of sitting down in a room occupied with different people who had also received an invitation to come for the job interview and almost everyone had different job positions and I kept getting this weird look as I was the only one with the position of a personal assistant."Did they open a slot for that role?" One of the ladies who was probably in her mid twenties turned to me as she looked at me. "How could I even explain that I never applied for a job in the first place and I don't know whose personal assistant I would be working as. I smiled as I looked at my CV and then, I looked to my left to see another lady who was still looking at the top of my CV. I exhaled sharply as I turned back to the other lady. "Umm, that's the only role I could fit in. Three days from now it's prom." "Oh!" She chuckled softly. "It's been almost 10 years since I went to my prom. And here I am, approaching thirties and still searching for a better paying job. I h

    Alicia's POV.I quickly rushed out without wasting an extra minute and I waved to Ariana before leaving. I could see how excited she was upon hearing that I just got the job. But was it something to be really happy about? I wasn't a personal assistant to Alphonso Bohen but to his second son, Logan Bohen. The one guy who wouldn't stop stalking me. "How was it, babes!!" Amelia poked me from behind as she stared at me.I groaned as I turned around to give her a dirty glare. "How many times do I have to warn you from doing that? You scared me, Amelia!!" I scowled as I frowned at her."And what was that for!?" I rolled my eyes."What?" She questioned as she stared at me."The 'babes' thing?" I scoffed."Oh! I know you definitely got the job. You weren't looking disappointed. You know this facial expression of mixed feelings? That was your facial expression." She chuckled softly."Are you being serious right now?" I cursed as I looked away. "Yes, I got the job and so what?" "That means y

    Rex's POV.And just as expected, I drove into my apartment as I saw the cops in their vehicle. "Oh! There they are!!" Clark snapped as he drew my attention to their parked car at the other end of the garage. I raised my eyebrows as I saw Jack who leaned on the front of the car as he was smoking, giving off all these mafia men looks. I parked in and the moment they spotted me, they stepped down from the car and Jack, he remained unmoved in his position as he continued with his cigarette.He finally threw it to the ground as he crushed it with his right shoe. "Oh! Here you are." He said with a grin on his face. He walked up close to me as he looked me right into my eyes. "Here to put those cuffs on me?" I scoffed as I brushed off my nose with my right thumb. "An early big business deal? That sounds new and smart of you!!" He said as he looked at me."I play strategic business. I have been keeping tabs on The Eleven for years now and I knew it was the right time to make an offer an

    Logan's POV.It was a cold Friday night, the least expected night to be this cold as it has been sunny throughout the day. I was super excited knowing that all that was left for Alicia Carlson was to resume work as my personal assistant.I was now the only surviving son of my father, the most powerful Alpha in New Kingston and as his rightful heir now, despite the fact that I was just 18 years old was that, he would teach me the ways of an Alpha and also, how to run his empire, the Bohen's Bureau, so that when he is gone, power doesn't fall into the hands of another. He was completely against me choosing a nobody, a lowlife girl who had no better background or prior experience to the position of a personal assistant but then, it was my choice to decide now because he never wanted to watch me lose interest in taking after his empire. It was meant to be a private burial as we finally laid Liam Bohen to rest. And the same way he was gone, Amber was gone too without a trace. I dialed

    Logan's POV.I saw the shock on her face the moment I announced to her that Liam Bohen was dead and that's who we were all here to bury. “Liam Bohen!?” She exclaimed in shock as she looked at me. “When did he die? How did he die? How come no one knew of it? Even the media never publicized it, why?”She went on asking me four questions which I kept count of. I raised my eyebrows as I looked at her and our eyes met again.“He died a few days back. He was murdered. We decided to keep it a secret for now and from today, this very minute, you are now a part of this secret because you are my personal assistant.” I responded as I smiled briefly.“It is a position that only a pack member occupies. So, consider yourself as family now.” I added as I looked away.Some men loyal to my father were seen digging the grave where Liam would be laid to rest and on the other end, my father stood there with a few of the elders, they were all neatly dressed in pinstripe black suits like some crazy, psyc

    Rex's POV.I woke the next morning as I felt the whole excitement that was still building up in my body. I couldn’t wait to be close to Elena. I felt this was where things got to go well with us and eventually, being able to convince her to return back to the pack with our kids. “Hello, good morning, Rex!” Clark greeted the moment he walked inside my room. “So what are your plans for today? You know you now have a responsibility here as well and you have to be there every day as well because there is a lot to get done.” He said as he opened the curtains, letting the sun pierce into the room.I yawned, stretched my body as I got up from the bed and rushed into the bathroom to brush my teeth and then I showered next and got all dressed up.“Huh? Done already? How come you are this fast?” Clark gasped in shock as he looked at me. “Just a few minutes ago, I walked in there, opened the curtains and watched you go in to brush your teeth and now, you are fully dressed.

    Elena's POV The early morning light filtered through the pack house windows and casted a golden glow over the kitchen, while I busied myself with preparing breakfast. It was a calm morning, but I could feel tension in the air. While the battle went on yesterday, Alphonso got captured and what was going to be done with him hadn't been decided yet, but whatever decision was going to be taken will define the pack's future.I stood by the counter, stirring a pot of oatmeal while Kanu and Kiana bickered playfully over the cereal I had given them earlier. Something about their laughter and noise felt comforting and reminded me of the simple life that we almost lost. It was hard to imagine that we managed to pull through, but as I glanced at the family photo, the realisation that we had survived set in.Then, Rex walked in, looking as if he had just woken up, his dark hair a bit ruffled. "It sure smells good in here," he said groggily.I smiled at him. "I'm preparing breakfast obviously, bu

    Elena's POV The energy was electric in the pack house. Wolves in human and shifted forms moved around the courtyard with their voices conveying relief and celebration. Despite the tension everyone felt from the battle we endured, everyone felt hopeful and personally, I can't remember the last time I felt that way.Standing near the edge of the crowd while watching as pack members approached Rex to congratulate him, I noticed that he moved slowly as a result of his injuries but his presence was still as commanding as ever. He cemented his role as a leader with each nod of his head and each word he exchanged with them. "Are you okay?" A voice said from my side, breaking me out of my thoughts. Turning sideways, I see that it's Logan."I think so," I replied, my gaze shifting back to Rex."You give off this feeling of someone that's getting ready to run." Logan said with a mischievous smile, though his tone was gentle.That caused a short laugh to escape my lips, "it's just a lot. All o

    Elena's POVI woke up to the morning light filtering through the blinds of the hospital room with its soft rays washing over Rex's face. He was still asleep with his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. Despite how pale he looked with the bandages wrapped around his chest, he looked like a warrior at rest after fighting a long battle.Leaning back against the chair by his bed with my body still aching from dozing off in an uncomfortable position with my hands still resting on his, unwilling to let go I closed my eyes slightly but the image of Logan walking towards me with some of Rex's blood on his body replayed in my head. The door opened behind me and I turned to see Logan walk in with clean clothes and a smile on his face while carrying two cups of coffee. He smiled at me softly as he approached before placing one of the cups on the small table beside me. "I thought you would need this," he said as he sat down on the other side of Rex's bed."Thanks," I replied gratefully

    Elena's POV I was in a room, praying that the battle goes in like favour when a wolf rushed in agitation."What's going on in the battlefield?" I asked hurriedly."We were able to defeat Kingsley but..". "But what?!" I asked impatiently."The Alpha was wounded in battle and is being rushed to the hospital right now." As I heard that, I felt dread overcome me and without a second thought, I grabbed my keys."Marie!" I called out, my voice shaking. "Watch the kids for me. I have to go."Maria frowned in concern, "Elena, hold on!"But I was already out the door, my heart pounding as I drove towards the hospital.The drive to the hospital was a blur with my mind focused on getting to the hospital as fast as I could. The sounds of the radio faded into the background as my thoughts consumed me with the words of the wolf being played over and over again in my mind."What if he doesn't make it?"The very thought of that happening struck me hard at my chest like a punch. I had spent so much

    Elena's pov"What if you don't have to?" Alicia asked, "you don't really have to go back to how things were between you two and honestly, I don't think it's a good idea since things were pretty toxic between you two.""That is true." I said with a gentle nod of my head. "So I suggest that you both build something new." She replied.Hearing that, it was as if a door opened up in my mind as I began to seriously consider her opinion.The following morning, the Pack gathered at an open field which was the site of the meeting with every wolf on high alert.Standing before us was Rex with his commanding presence as he addressed the crowd. "Today we are here to fight for the future of our packs. Kingsley and Alphonso have both been controlling us for so long using just fear and manipulation and it's time to put an end to it."In response, everyone cheered in approval with some of them howling. I stood at the edge of the gathering with the women and children while looking for signs of troubl

    Elena's POV I, my twins, Marie and Alicia had moved to Rex's pack away from New Kingston. He had figured out that if we remained in New Kingston we'd be easily attacked by Kingsley and his cohorts.His mother was so filled with joy to see us finally return to the pack.Standing at the edge of Rex's pack grounds, I felt the cool air against my skin. All around me were werewolves shifting into their forms and patrolling the perimeter with their scouts running back and forth with one update after the other. Turning sideways, my eyes rested on Rex who was barking orders with authority which was expected since he was an Alpha and knew the weight of his responsibilities.Anyone else standing on the spot I stood would have felt nervous or utterly terrified but I felt oddly calm. I knew what was happening right now wasn't just about survival anymore but about standing for something and protecting the people that matter the most.As I busied myself with my thoughts, a voice broke me out of it

    Logan's POVThe air in the safe house was heavy with tension with Zachary pacing the small room with his footsteps creaking rhythmically on the wooden floor. On a table situated by the side, I sat with a map spread out before me as I observed the marked locations which represented Kingsley's growing influence across the packs.Suddenly, the footsteps stopped in front of me which prompted me to raise my head only to see Zachary staring at me. "We don't have much time." He said silently. "Kingsley's plan is already in motion and Alphonso's political might will protect him if we don't act now."Do you think I do not know that?" I asked with a quirked eyebrow. "Of course I do but if we move too soon, we risk exposing our hands too early. We need to hit them where it'll hurt the most-where they least expect us to hit."Zachary folded his arms in response, he didn't look too convinced by my reasoning. "And how do you think we should do that? Kingsley has access to Alphonso's resources, the

    Elena's POV Sitting down by the kitchen table, my hands trembled slightly as I stirred my cup of tea with the clanking generated from my spoon hitting the sides of the cup grounding me. It was late in the afternoon and the sun had cast long shadows with golden patterns around the kitchen. As I did that, my mind went to the words Collins uttered the previous night with each word echoing in my head. "Rex won't see it coming. Once he's out of the way, we'll have complete control. Are you worried about Elena? You shouldn't be, She's loyal for now."I couldn't believe what I had just heard. The man I had trusted my life and the life of my kids with, the same man I let into my life had been scheming all along? I could not believe it but the weight of his betrayal pressed heavily against my chest. How could I be so blind"? Gripping the edge of my table to steady myself, I took in deep breaths and I didn't notice one of my kids come close to me. "Mom!"Kanu called, startling me, which ca

    Elena's POV.Hearing the faint hum of the coffee machine in the background alongside the sound of the TV and the sound of laughter from Kiana and Kanu should have brought me a sense of peace and comfort but in the particular situation I'm in, it only brought me unease with my hand tightening around my cellphone while I stared at it.I had sent Collins a text a while ago which he had left unanswered and that made me extremely anxious. "Mom!" Kiana shouted, his voice interrupting my thoughts. "Kanu is cheating again and I do not like it!"With a sigh of exhaustion, I dropped the phone into my pocket before turning around and walking into the living room and there stood Kanu on the sofa, triumphantly holding the game controller in his hand and high over his head with Kiana by the side glaring at him with her little hands balled into fists."I am not cheating!" Kanu yelled back, while jumping away as Kiana tried to snatch the controller from him."Okay, that's enough." I said, stepping b
