~Leo~ My mouth was dry, so I drank the water and composed myself, ready to listen to the rest. I dared not interrupt. "Because of this progress, there was a law that we would only mate with Alphas to have strong alphas in our bloodline like the Volkovs. Although Patrick died before his grandchildr
"You need to understand. Had we spoken up on their behalf, we would have had to expose our family, and Maurice would not have pardoned any of us. He was mad like that," My father said, and I already knew that, so I nodded. I was glad Sylvester was nothing like his father. "A year before we handed o
"Leo, you do not seem the slightest surprised about all your father has told you," My mother said, observing my mood, and I sighed. "I am shocked to discover I am a Volkov descendant with Stepanov genes. It is a bit shocking, but the other things were expected due to what has been happening lately
~Leo~I looked at my dad with hope in my eyes. If he knew something that could help, it would really be appreciated. The only reason we hadn't actively searched for these bastards was that we were afraid it would mean suicide. My father smiled and leaned forward. He always did that when he felt he
I would get all the information about the informants in the East from her and do it most painfully. I might even leave the women to handle her while we go for Inkabod Semenov. Now that my father had spoken, I would ask Tamia to help with the poisoned dart production. It was always her weapon of ch
"What about me, Father? Won't they be after my life?" I asked. "Of course, they will be, but you have Amelia, Alexei, and Clay on your team; you are a more difficult adversary. Going head-on with you will be going head-on with the true heirs. Even if they kill you, the Stepanovs will not move again
~Leo~ "I want you to listen to me, Timothy, and do as I say. I will send aid to you now," I said, and the man was silent. "I need you to evacuate your people and send them to Hill Valley, nearest you," I said, and he exclaimed. "Hill Valley, where that creep is?" he said, and I sighed. "You have
"Your father was a good man. He was peace-loving and easily content. To think he was the true heir and he did not want any of it," My father told her, and she smiled at him. Amelia could not feel sentiment over a man she never knew. I was angry that Yuri robbed her of that opportunity. He ruined ma
Dear Readers and Beloved Co-Writers, I am thrilled to share some exciting news with all of you. Liam and Josephine are embarking on their own unique adventure, and their story is becoming so enthralling that it deserves its own book. Considering the depth and breadth of this tale, I've received wi
"I... I’m clueless," I stammered as he trailed kisses along my neck, each touch igniting a wild sensation within me. "Same here," he managed between breaths, his hand gradually tracing up my thigh. His confession reassured me, and at that moment, I embraced the idea of exploration and discovery wit
"I was scared, partly because of Sophia's presence. She seemed perfect, so normal, and I…" I stumbled over my words, the memory stoking an odd ache within me. The pain from that day was stubborn, refusing to fade. "I felt like I couldn't measure up, Li. But my sister insisted that I should give it
"Since we can't venture out alone, I convinced Mrs. Mirabel to join us," he explained, and a surge of excitement led me to embrace him tightly. His consideration touched me deeply. I had yearned to return to the park ever since that day. Even though the stream wasn't quite the same as the lake, it
~Josephine~ A rush of excitement coursed through me, and a smile tugged at Liam's lips as he stood by the doorway. Since there was nothing to grab in my room, I slipped on my slippers and made my way outside. "Did your father get in touch?" Liam inquired as we descended the staircase, and I nodded
"I have to hope that we are fated to be together or that we possess the strength to do what his parents did: defy expectations and reject what fate has in store for us," I mused aloud, causing Charlotte's expression to take on a tinge of concern."Let us not worry about things that are yet to come a
"Because you are my friend, and he is my cousin, and I know of Sophia, so I want to know why you will allow yourself to get carried away," she responded, her tone genuinely concerned. I offered her a smile, touched by her sincerity."There's nothing between him and Sophia," I reassured, to which she
~Josephine~The kappas coming from Lucland didn't reach Grizlo Hospital until late, subjecting us all to a lengthy and tense wait. When they finally did arrive, Charlotte couldn't contain her joy. Meanwhile, I observed Justin issuing them instructions, my only thought being an earnest desire to depa
Seeing that the Royal family is somehow involved in this mess, I request that the council get involved and assist me in solving this matter," He said, and people began to murmur. "How was the Royal family implicated? Isn't this your jurisdiction, alpha Zakharov?" Pamela asked, and he nodded, then m
