Alpha Leo's POV. “Ok, so let me see if I've got this right, whoever it is that's behind this, isn't someone that you've pissed off in the past, it's actually a member of your pack?” Zoey asks. “That is correct.” I tell her. “Wow, that's just, wow.” She says and I'm very grateful that in this moment she doesn't have more to say. “So who do you think it could be?” Lena asks. “I have no idea.” I tell her. “So you're saying you don't have any disgruntled employees or someone that you might've offended?” Lena asks. “No, Zeo and I are barely at the office, we always work from home, we just go in for the monthly board meetings and just stop in from time to time, how would I have possibly upset someone when I'm never there.” I tell her. “Ok, so if we are to believe that you are this loved Alpha. Then could it be possible that whoever got those pages isn't doing it of his own free will? Maybe they are being blackmailed or something
Alpha Leo's POV. The drive back to the house just reminds me more of how this once joyful pack has turned into a wasteland, no sign of life except for the weeds and the trees, the only time people actually come out is every two weeks to get their groceries from the truck that delivers it and then they all run back to their houses. “How's the clinic?” I ask Zeo. “Still much of the same, no one's been admitted but still they're not getting better.” He tells me. “Well hopefully before the week runs out we will have the cure and all this will be behind us and we can get on the road to healing.” I tell him. We get to the house, I park the car and we both get down. There used to be guards at the front of the double doors but I had to put a stop to that because of the disease, I won't make them guard me if there's a risk that they will get sick. I can protect myself. We get into the house and Elijah is in the living room waiting for us. “A
Alpha Leo's POV. I don't even know when I start laughing, but I can't control it, fate must be playing a very sick joke on me, because how much can a guy take before he just gives up and runs mad? No really I want to know. Because first I was cursed with a hateful father and then fate saw it fit to take my mother away from me, then I was blessed with a mate, that's Scarlett but then she leaves me to marry another man. Then I find another mate in Selene and then Scarlett comes back and I do not know it at the time but I make the wrong decision of choosing Scarlett and rejecting Selene. My marriage to Scarlett is horrible and then my pack is cursed with an incurable disease. Now the only person that can help with a cure is Selene, the same woman I rejected six years ago and she returns with my kids, who don't know that I'm their father and now I find out that Selene was the right choice all along and one stupid decision has derailed my life. But that's not all
Lena's POV. After the guys leave, the three of us remain at the table and Zoey and Freya have been getting on just like I thought they would. “You know I really wish you caught her throwing Leo around on video, it would add to my ammo when I'm making fun of him.” Zoey tells Freya. “Yea that would've been nice, to have something over him, get him to do whatever we want.” Freya says. The next thing I know, I hear the sound of little feet running towards the dinning room. “Here they come.” Zoey says and Freya looks confused. “Mama!” Karla screams as she launches herself at me and I carry her up and sit her on my lap. Lian decides that the table is now his chair and he climbs up and sits down at the middle if the table, I'm not going to complain, at least he's sitting. “Are you done with your meeting? Can we have our gifts now?” Luke asks me. “Yea, boss man said he got us gifts too.” Liam tells me. “Ok, calm down. The
Alpha Leo's POV. “I'll drop you off at the office first, you know what you need to do right?” I asked him. “Yes, I'll ask the secretary for the delivery logs from the past six months and also check the CCTV feeds.” He tells me. “Good then I'll head to the courier's office, when I get the information that I need then I'll head back and help you out in the office.” I tell him. “Ok, that sounds like a plan.” He says and a few minutes later we arrive at the building and he gets down and I just stay there for a few minutes staring at that building and what it means, it shows what Zeo and I have accomplished after years of hardwork and now someone in that building is trying to bring everything down. I put in the address for the courier company and the GPS says that it's just fifteen minutes away. So I look at the directions and drive there. I park my car and get down, the office is on the second floor of a high rise building, so instead of taking the ele
Alpha Leo's POV. “That is my signature Mr. Andrews but I assure you, I did not sign for that package, I haven't been to the office in months, my second in command has been running things.” I tell him. “Is it possible that he was the one that put down your signature for the package?” He asks me. “No, that's impossible. Do you know who delivered the package. Is it possible to ask him who he gave it to?” I ask him. “Yes, I guess we can do that.” He says ans then he types on his computer, then he presses his intercom. “Jessica, please send Luke to my office.” He says. “He should be here soon.” He tells me. A few minutes later, there's a knock and a young boy, who shouldn't be more than eighteen or nineteen steps in. “You wanted to see me Mr. Andrews?” He asks. “Yes, Luke. I want you to look at this gentleman here, have you seen him anywhere before?” Andrews asks Luke. “No, I don't think that I have.” Luke answers.
Lena's POV. “Well….” “Well what?” Zoey asks me. That's the thing with our relationship, we know each other so well that we can tell when the other is hiding something or lying. “When we went to the club and Zoey left to get the key, something happened between Leo and I.” I tell her and she has this crazed look on her face. “No, Lena, tell me you didn't?” She asks me. “No, it's not like you're thinking. We were dancing and we had a moment, everything around us seemed to disappear and it was electric and we almost kissed but we didn't and that was it, nothing else happened.” I tell her and she stares at me like she's trying to decipher whether I'm lying or telling the truth. “Ok, but you shouldn't have gotten yourself in a situation like that.” She tells me. “I know that Zoey, I know but it was like I couldn't control it.” I tell her. “Ok, I won't claim to understand this mate bond. But sissy, he's with Scarlett, he chose her you have to
Alpha Leo's POV. “Brie? That's the little girl that first got infected right?” Zeo asks. “Yes, that's right. But what does her father have to do with all of this? And if he is involved, why would he make his daughter sick and also himself and his wife, I mean they're both dead now. It doesn't make any sense.” I tell him. “Zoey's theory about this being a blackmail and him being under duress is starting to make more sense. Maybe after he got the pages for them, they got him and his daughter sick so they would not live to tell what he did.” Zeo says. “You're right, that's the only thing that makes sense right now. Do we have a camera in his office?” I ask one of the tech dudes. “Yes sir, we do.” He says. “Ok, then please pull it up, let's see if he had any visitors that day.” I tell him. He taps on a few buttons and then the feed comes up. Karl walks into his office and he looks nervous, like really nervous. He takes of his tie and throws it
EPILOGUETHREE MONTHS LATERLena's POV. In my years that I've lived in this earth, I learnt one thing, blood doesn't always make family. I mean Zeo, Freya and Zoey, we aren't related by blood but they are my family. After Luna Kate came clean about what she did, I thought I would be angry because what she did that night set of a chain of events that got us to where we are today. But that's also why I wasn't mad or anything like that, those events made me the woman that I am today, they gave me my children, so there's no way that I can be angry at that. My parents were the Avery's they raised me and they loved me and that wasn't going to change. I was a grown woman, I wasn't interested in having a relationship with a woman that was too scared to keep me and a father who didn't tolerate weakness and I didn't want that energy around my children. So after they told me rye truth, I thanked her because I could finally solve that unclosed mystery.
Lena's POV. The plane lands and I know that we aren't at the pack yet but I'm giddy with excitement at the prospect of seeing my babies. I know it's just been a couple of weeks, but to be honest, it feels like months have gone by and I haven't seen them. We step out of the air plane and say our goodbyes to Stefan the pilot. Zoey has been calling trying to find out how far out we are, I know it was hard for her to stay back while I was hurt. But she has no idea how much I appreciate her staying with the kids while I was recovering in Scotland. We get into the SUV and Zeo drives so fast, you'd think he was being chased. But I get it, he's been away from Zoey for close to a month, when you count in the time they spent looking for me and then the time I spent recovering. Phoebe has been asking questions about the kids and she can't wait to meet them. Richard promised me that he would find the girls that we saved good homes and the ones that needed reha
Lena's POV. The next day, everyone in the house, was up early in the morning, we were all packed up and ready to go. We said our goodbyes to Richard and Elijah's's other two friends, they decided to stay behind. Richard offered them jobs as part of a covert team. He offered Mark the job too, but he declined and I know that it was because of Pheobe. We left the house and everyone pilled ourselves into two SUV's that Richard had provided. In one car was me, Leo, Brie and Zeo and in the other car was Elijah, Freya and Vincent. Richard also provided us with drivers so that they would be able to bring the cars back. “I can't believe we're finally leaving.” I said out loud. “I can't believe that I'm finally going to see another part of the world.” Pheobe said and I turned to look at her, she was seated in the middle of me and Leo. “Have you been on a plane before Pheebs?” I ask her but I have a feeling what her answer will be. “No I haven't, I kn
Lena's POV. Leo takes my hand and we both walk to the underground prison where Lex is, we get to the end of the hallway and Leo puts in his handprint and the door unlocks. “You're sure you're ready for this?” Leo asks me again. “Yea I am, open it.” I tell him and then he opens the door and we both walk in, the first thing I'm hit with is the smell, it's like decaying flesh. “Sorry about the smell, I cut of his hand the last time I was down here.” He tells me as he points to the spot on the floor where the hand is, I almost throw up but I hold myself back. I hear the sound of someone groaning the pain and I turn around and that's when I see him, Lex. The man that almost broke me and haunts me every night in my dreams. I barely recognise him, he only has his boxers on and his hair has grown out that its covering half of his face. His whole body has different shades of bruises all over and then his left hand now has a stump from where Leo ripped o
Lena's POV. The next morning I wake up wrapped up in Leo, last night was everything and so much more, I can still feel it right now, I'm so sore. “Good morning mia cara.” Leo whispers in my ear. I turn over and face him. “Good morning baby.” I say to him and then I kiss him and before too long, the kiss turns heated and I can feel Leo getting hard so I pull back. “Are you sore baby?” He asks me. “Yeah a little.” I tell him. “Was I too rough with you?” He asks me. “Yes, but don't go beating yourself up about it, I loved every second of it.” I tell him. “Ok, come on let's go take a shower, if I stay in this bed with you, there's no stopping me from having my way with you.” He tells me. I take his outstretched hand and we both walk into the bathroom, the shower is big enough to contain the both of us and there would still be space. We enter the shower and while the water sprays the both of us, I grab Leo's cock. “Don'
Lena's POV. It's been two weeks and today I was officially cleared from physical therapy, I don't even need to use the crutches, but both Leo and Zeo insist that I use it, saying that I shouldn't stress myself too much. We're leaving the hospital room, and today I finally get to meet all the men that risked their lives to save me when they knew nothing about me. I told Zeo and Leo that I didn't want them in the hospital, I didn't want them seeing me like that, they explained it to the guys and they understood. We take the elevator up to the apartment, it's my first time here, the elevator door opens and everyone shouts. “Surprise!” Everyone is there, Zeo, Phoebe, Freya, Vincent and then four men that I don't recognise. I step out of the elevator and hug Zeo, Pheobe and Freya, I hug all of them and then I turn to the first guy standing there. Zeo comes forward and makes the introductions. When he's done, I hug all four of them. “Thank you so much for all your
Lena's POV. I held on to the handle bars and took my first step, it was small and shaky, it was like I was a baby, learning how to walk again. “That's good Selene, try again.” Zeo encourages me. I take another step with my left leg and it's stronger than the other one, I take a few more steps until my leg stops shaking altogether. “Ok Selene, how about you try walking without the bars, you just have a few more steps before you get to Leo.” Anna tells me. I take a few deep breaths, my eyes are on Leo the whole time. “You can do this mia cara.” He encourages me. I remove one hand first from the bars and then I remove my second hand, I stagger a little, but Zeo is there to catch me and hold me up. “Just tell me when you're ready and I'll let you go.” Zeo tells me. I look at Leo again and his presence there gives me the strength that I need. “I'm fine Zeo, you can let me go now.” I tell him and he removes his hands from my back. I tak
Lena's POV. “But there's something else we need to talk about.” He tells me. “What is it?” I ask him. “It's about Lex.” He tells me and Immediately the smile is wiped off from my face. “I told you I didn't want to talk about him.” I tell him and then I rip my hand away from his. “I know that mia cara, but we have too. The doctor said that by next week you can start physical therapy and use your crutches and by the upper week, we can take you back home. We have to decide what we're going to do with him.” He tells me. “I don't care what you do to him.” I tell him and I mean it. “I know that you don't care and you probably don't want to see his face ever again but I don't think that's a good idea.” He tells me and I swear to the goddess if I was not bedridden, I would be strangling him right now. “Oh really, please enlighten me.” I tell him. “Don't be like that Lena. I just thought it would be a good idea for you to confront him
Lena's POV. Phoebe hugged me so tight it was so painful but I didn't say anything, I just hugged her back because I knew that she needed this, I also needed it too, she risked her life to save mine. Finally we separated and I shifted on hu bed and had her sit next to me. “Thank you so much Phoebe, if you weren't brave enough to go out for help and then stumbling on Leo, I would probably be dead.” I tell her and I mean it, if not for her, there was a high cahnce that I would've not been here right now. “It's fine Lena, you told me I had to be brave and I was.” She says with a smile on her face. “So how has it been living in a house full of boys, are they treating you well.” I ask her, from what Leo tells me, she's been sticking to only Mark since she came out and I'd like to know why. “Yea, they're all nice, especially Mark.” She says and I see a tinge of red in her cheeks. Oh I get it now, she has a crush on Mark. “Oh, really, you know I haven'
