The Alpha’s Lottery Wife CHAPTER 31
RAINI LAVERNE As we sat at the table, I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over me. The meal was finally being enjoyed by River and Zavier and everything felt perfect."So Caleb, have we met before? You look familiar," I asked, trying to break the ice.Caleb smiled politely, "I don't think so, Raini. I'm pretty sure this is the first time we've met."I chuckled, "Well, maybe I've seen you around in River's photos or something. She tends to talk about you a lot."Caleb blushed slightly, "Oh, really? What does she say?"River chimed in, "Nothing but good things, Caleb. Don't worry."Zavier added, "Raini actually cooked this meal herself, with a little help from Karla of course."I blushed at the compliment, "Zavier is too kind. It was a team effort."Caleb took a bite of the food and his eyes widened, "This is amazing, Raini. You're quite the cook."I beamed with pride, "Thank you, Caleb. I'm glad you like it."River teased, "Raini can cook better than this, actually. S

ZAVIER CROSS I was sitting in my office, trying to focus on work, but my mind kept wandering to Raini. I hated that I couldn't allow myself to be with her, but I knew it was for her own safety. The last thing I wanted was to bring her into the dangerous world of the supernatural. Just then, Damon barged into my office, interrupting my thoughts. "Zavier, I've got news about the Rogue wolf," he said, looking serious. I sat up straight in my chair, instantly intrigued. "What happened?" Damon leaned against the wall, crossing his arms. "I followed him to an abandoned warehouse, but then a group of wolves ambushed him and killed him. They were trying to silence him so he wouldn't reveal who sent him." I let out a frustrated sigh. "Dammit. We're back to square one." Damon nodded in agreement. "Yeah, but at least we know there are other wolves involved. We just need to keep digging." I rubbed my temples, feeling the weight of the situation. "I know. It's just frustrating. I need to fi

RIVER LAVERNE If I could ever be grateful for something I would be for how yesterday went, I had overthought all the possible outcomes and I am more than grateful non of them happen, else there may or may bit be a tsunami coming. I was sitting at home, feeling content with how the evening went. My sister Raini and Caleb seemed to hit it off well, and I couldn't help but feel happy for them. But just as I was settling in for the night, I received a message from Raini asking if we could meet up. Instantly, my heart sank a little. Had something gone wrong with the dinner? Did Caleb do or say something to upset her?I shook my head, trying to rid myself of those negative thoughts. Maybe Raini just wanted to catch up, or talk about something else entirely. I quickly got ready and headed to the café where we agreed to meet.I tried not to overthink it and got ready to meet her at the café. As I walked over, I tried to push those negative thoughts out of my head. I knew that Raini had alwa

DAMON POVIt's crazy that I have such a feeling and I can't seem to Phantom what is going on with me.I woke up feeling so uneasy this morning. I couldn't shake off this feeling that something wasn't right. I got dressed and headed to work, hoping that the feeling would go away. But as soon as I stepped into the office, I knew that something was definitely off.I went straight to Karla's kitchen. Karla and I had a history; we had dated in the past but it didn't work out for us. We decided to remain friends and it worked out fine. But right now, I needed to talk to someone and Karla was the only one I could trust."Hey, Karla," I said, walking into her office."Hey, Damon," she said, looking up from her computer. "What's up?""I don't know," I said, pacing around her office. "I woke up feeling really uneasy this morning. Something just seems off.""Off? How do you mean?" she asked, arching her eyebrows."I don't know," I said, feeling frustrated. "It's like something bad is going to ha

ZAVIER CROSSI walked into the boardroom, my eyes immediately drawn to Giselle who was dressed in a stunning red dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. It was definitely not the kind of attire I expected for a business meeting, but I couldn't deny that it was alluring.Giselle approached me with a kiss on the cheek, her lips lingering a little too long for my liking. I tried to ignore the flutter in my chest and kept my composure as we took our seats at the opposite end of the long conference table.We started talking about the possibility of a partnership, Giselle wanting a merger while I preferred a collaboration. We went back and forth with negotiations, throwing business terms around like they were second nature to us.I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease throughout the entire meeting. Something about Giselle's demeanor and the way she was flirting with me seemed off. Was this really just about business?As we began discussing the partnership, I couldn't help

RAINI LAVERNEDo we actually have alter egos, if so River would be mine and Liam would be Damon's I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Damon standing in the hallway of my home. Memories of the picture my sister sent me rushed back into my mind, and I was sure it was him. But then he told me his name was Liam, and my mind was thrown into confusion."Hi, Raini," he said, giving me a warm smile."Hi, Damon," I replied, trying to hide my suspicion."It's Liam, actually," he corrected me, still smiling.I raised an eyebrow. "Liam?""Yeah, that's my name," he said, still with that smile.I couldn't shake the feeling that I knew him from somewhere, and I couldn't let it go. "Are you sure? You look so familiar to me."He laughed lightly. "I get that a lot, but I promise you, my name is Liam."I nodded slowly, still not convinced. "Okay then. Is there something you need from me?"Damon--or Liam--shook his head. "No, not really. I was just passing by and thought I'd say hi."I tried to relax

RAINI LAVERNE Things with River could have gone a lot worst but I am glad it didn't. I pulled into Zavier's driveway and turned off the engine, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation building within me. But just as I was about to step out of my car, my phone buzzed with a message from River. Curiosity piqued, I opened the link she had sent me and was shocked to see a blog post featuring Zavier and Giselle.“What the fuck,”Fury coursed through me as I read through the scandalous details. How could Zavier do this to me? Was Giselle really just another one of his conquests? A million questions raced through my mind, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal.Just as I was about to call River to vent my frustrations, my phone rang and her name flashed across the screen. I answered the call and she immediately asked me what I thought about the blog post."I don't know what to think," I replied, my voice laced with anger. "Zavier has a lot of explaining to do. How could he

ZAVIER CROSSWhy the hell is she not back!!!I can't shake off this feeling of unease that has been gnawing at me since Raini left this morning. I tried calling her several times, but her phone just keeps going to voicemail. Maybe she's just busy, or maybe she's still mad at me for what happened with Giselle. But how could she believe those lies? I thought she knew me better than that.I can't believe this is happening. After everything we've been through, how could she even think that I would cheat on her with Giselle? I mean, I admit that I used to have feelings for Giselle, but that was a long time ago. Raini knows that. She knows how much she means to me. Why would she even consider that I would betray her like that?And now, all these notifications on my social media. People tagging me in posts, spreading rumors that I'm with Giselle. I've never felt so helpless. I know I shouldn't care about what people think, but it's hard not to when it affects the person you love.I'm so worr

RAINIZavier looked at me for a minute, and it was as though he didn't believe what I just said about killing Trinity.For some reason I couldn't get over the fact that the dandelion mystery was back, in a way that looked most frustrating. Zavier had found the dandelion and came back with it, I could tell that the same person had been after me all this while.All concerns that it had been Giselle were far off from my memory since she had faced the same fate when she was found murdered in her home.Keeping all fingers crossed we had to wait just as he had said there was nothing we could do, then wait out all of this till it was over.All this would have been possible if I didn't get the anonymous call.I turned to look at Zavier who was sleeping and walked away to the bathroom to pick, perhaps I could tell what he was going to say if he listened or I wasn't sure if I could trust him enough just yet ."Hello?" I asked, filled with uncertainty."Hello." River voice came back trembling.I

ZAVIERWe spoke to the detective for more than twenty minutes giving him everything that was needed to find River, for me it wasike going through this ordeals again, the first time had been when I had to deal with Raini getting kidnapped and this was the second.Like the detective had told Bianca and myself there was definitely an insider there was no sign of anyone breaking into her apartment.Raini was obviously tired and perhaps hitting her second trimester was starting to weigh in on her as she was asleep as we walked down the hallway to her room.She was right there still asleep in her bed. I walked into her bedroom and sat in a chair close to the window near the bed.With the whole feeling complicated Iclosed my eyes and just took a moment formyself, taking in much breath as much as I could whole reflecting back on the entire situation.I haven’t had too many of these moments in the last few days, moments where I had to reflect on everything that was happening, the truth was

IRENEIt was still hard to take in and at the moment, my mind was racing at the moment.It was clearly on the wall, I couldn't miss it, not after how long I had stayed there with them. At that moment my mind was In a total mess.I stood right there with my head against his shoulder crying, perhaps if I had come in here a bit quicker I would have been able to save my sister.What I couldn't understand was why they had taken her."What did River say when she called?" He asked.I sniffed.With a shaky breath, I began to tell him about how she had called and why she had left in the first place.I explained why I didn't call him before leaving and everything from how I had felt angry when I got here and found nothing but the house in total mess.There was a lot to talk about and he listened to every bit of it. All I wanted to do was get rid of everything in my chest and get everything out in the open. I didn't hold anything back from him as I felt weak …Too weak." Why did they take her?"
The Alpha’s Lottery Wife 138
IRENEI drove out of the car park as quickly as I could all that filled my mind while driving past the oak trees that surrounded the thick wood shrouding Zavier's home was the safety for my sister, the thought was heavy on my mind as the more I thought about it, the harder it was for me to comprehend.At the back of my mind was the question asking why she had spoken in such a haste, there was a sound of silence before ending the call and despite trying to get her it was certainly difficult to.I thought about calling Zavier but opted against it in my mind as I continued with my trip…The speed I was driving at was so much that it took the thought of the twins I was carrying to make us reduce the speed.As I drove out of the gates and as I did,II spent the next few hours trying to purge Zavier out of my mind, so I replaced it with other thoughts.Or at least my thought was replaced by the thought of my sister River.I purposely looked at my phone again,keeping her call on redial w

ZAVIER.“Stupid move today, man.” Bianca said to me as she sat on my office couch while looking at my face.She was looking at me,in a manner that seemed so complicated."Where did you say she went to again?" I asked since she was the only one that had been with her all this while.I flicked a glance toward her since she had been the only one with her when she had gone out.We were having a good conversation about how my time with Raini had gone.I rubbed a hand across my smile. “I just assumed that she would want to talk to me after what she did."“You assumed wrong,” she said dryly. “She is a woman, she doesn't care about all of this.""You all are complicated." I said, rolling my eyes.Bianca looked at me laughing "With all the shit you’ve done, and the fact that you lied it would be hard for her to trust you again."I sank a little further into the couch.“Everything I do is premeditated. I think about it —You don't expect that I will not tell her about all of this" I said look

RAINITwo quiet knocks sounded on the door, and I walked toward the door to get it opened.From the conversation I had with Bianca it was obvious I had to talk with him. I had been thinking about going to his room but didn't really have the confidence just before the knock came in.When I saw it was Zavier standing on the other side, I stood straighter at the doorway looking into his eyes.With his hair combed back, in a casual shirt and Jean, his countenance appeared welcoming and breathtaking at the same time.His eyes held my stare as I looked at him, in a way it looked as though it was filledwith cold resonance—perhaps he was still angry about what I had said earlier."Are you busy?" He asked."Yeah, not doing anything now." .Every synapses in my body raced as I stood back and watched him as he walked in.My eyes widened on him. As he walked Into the room making way to the window,he stood right there and looked out of the window.Shutting the door, I sighed deeply as I walke

RAINIBianca wasn't the first to warn me about the woman and now that it made two people tell me, it felt like the universe was screaming out something and I would be a fool not to listen.Trinity made her way back. There was an exchange between the two women as it looked as though she had heard something that was being saidIt looked not too certain that she must have heard her as if in a kind of distance."I have to leave, there is something I have to do."I merely nodded my head as I thought it was better she did before any altercations started up.I never expected that they would get along, Trinity never got along with anyone except me and I guessed it had something to do with me seeing the best in people.I walked with her to the door and after closing it behind her, I turned and smirked at Bianca."What?" She shrugged. "I am just telling you the truth. " You should really look into that girl."I sighed and fell back in my seat. I’d been excited about having her over but it look

RAINI-Everything was building up inside of me and I didn’t know the best way to make myself feel better than to cry.I felt so disappointed in myself for not being as strong as I thought I should be but there was nothing I could do.I wanted the best for my children and the fear that something might happen to them made me lose faith IN myself.I started sobbing, sitting up on the bed because the tears were not just coming, I felt Indulged and very weak to have to break down because of something like this.This wasn’t minor, this was my unborn kids and I was already failing as a mother and even before they were born.Just then I heard a knock on the door interrupting me and I immediately wiped off my tears.I wondered if my tears woke up someone but I didn’t think I was sobbing that loud.“It’s me bianca, I know you’re awake, Raini opens the door.” She said gently from the other side of the door.I stood up and walked over to the door and opened the door for her and she walked in.“Co

RAINI“Is there anything you can do to help me make sure they will be safe?” I asked in a shaky voice.My babies, how could they be in danger when they aren’t even in the world yet?“There is nothing. After using the drugs I think it should all go well but I can’t say.” The doctor said picking up her documents and ready to leave the ward.My heart shattered, I didn't know how I was supposed to react to something like this and why things have to get this complicated for me.I was managing to do everything and being my best for my unborn children but everything seemed to be fine till Zavier came back into our lives.“Are you sure there’s no expensive treatment we can use to make sure they would be safe? You can’t just put us on hold.” Zavier finally said walking ahead to the doctor:I didn’t know how I was supposed to feel about all of this but I knew for certain that any money from now I was going to flare out.“No, at this point after getting the drugs, there is nothing that we can do
