He opened the car for her to enter and then went round to get into the driver's seat. He had sent Samuel, his Beta on a crucial errand and had also planned on picking Lionel from school. He drove her to a restaurant. Held the seat for her to sit and then sat down. The waiter came and they ordered. Alexa found that she was hungry. Famished in fact and she hadn't been aware. She had eaten the meal Wayne prepared for her at the hospital before going to work. 'So, here we are', she said, her tone business like. 'On the business date. I thought we were going to meet with some clients like last time. I didn't know it is going to be just the two of us!' 'It is going to be just us indeed because you see, Alexa, the business deal we are here to discuss is about us!' he dropped the bombshell. 'About is?' she echoed. 'I presumed we were through with that in the office?' she asked, looking at him questioningly. 'We did say something about it in the office but you see, there is more!' he
'Thank goodness !' Hector said as soon as she got back. 'Why?' she asked, bemused. 'You took your time. I was wondering if I should come and drag you out of the restroom or if you had run off from there!' he said. 'You were timing me?' she asked incredulous. This man was really annoying!' she thought. 'No!' he said smiling annoyingly at her. 'I am just stating a fact!' Shaking her head in exasperation, Alexa said. 'Anyway, I am not interested in your contract. So, you might as well tear it up!' she said pushing the contract that was lying on the table back to him. 'Are the conditions stated there not satisfactory enough?' he asked. 'Oh, they are for someone who wants your god damn money. Not for me!' she replied. 'What do you want then?' he asked. 'Nothing!' she snapped. 'I just want to live my life and raise those wonderful pups I have been gifted by the Moon Goddess!' 'But I am giving you that opportunity. To raise them along side another who also considers you his mum. So
'Alexa', the Lyncan King said, 'are you okay?' Alexa caught herself. She had been about to give herself away in that moment of joyful realization. She could not tell him that she and not Camellia, was Lionel's real mother. 'Camellia, you vicious bitch!' she thought, furiously. 'Nothing she said and realised there were tears in her eyes. Those tears might be the reason for his question. 'Something flew into my eye', she said, wiping the tears and sniffing into her handkerchief. More than ever now, she wanted Lionel to visit for the weekend so that she could lavish him with affection. She dared not be too expressive in the presence of his father before he became suspicious. She needed to get a way to kidnap him and fly to the states with him and his siblings. Where Hector nor Camellia nor anyone for that matter would not see them ever again. 'Daddy, I am starved', Lionel said. 'Could we go to a restaurant and eat?' Alexa was about to say, 'I'll cook a good home made meal for you. E
While they were there having a great lunch together, Camellia came into the restaurant to eat. She was happy she had used her cunning to escape Challotte's plot to ruin her. She was famished and just wanted sometime alone. She sat down and when the waiter approached her, she gave him her order and he went away to bring it. While waiting for him to come back with her order, Camellia thought about the plan she and Challotte had come up with to deal with Alexa. She smiled. It served Alexa right. How dare she threaten her! She had literally humiliated her in the office that morning. Then she recalled how Challotte had lured her into that cafe. 'Challotte, you might think we are now friends, but that is just to remove the obstacle on my path!' she said to herself. 'Once we succeed in getting rid of Alexa, I shall make sure I give you a taste of your own medicine!' she vowed. Valerie had been a great accomplice. Of not for the fact that she had got caught, Alexa would have been long gon
When Alexa got home, she hugged her children excitedly. Paid the sitter, thanking her profusely. 'Mr. Wayne was here to see you', Lilly said. 'Saod he wanted to know how you were faring but I told him you were in a meeting at your place of work'. 'You did great', Alexa said, leading her to the door. After shutting the door, she went back to her children. She nearly blurted out to them that they had a brother and the brother had actually been Lionel all along. But she caught herself. 'That will give rise to alot of questions I am not ready to answer right now. To keep them safe, I'll have to contain my excitement and keep them in the dark for a little longer!' she thought. As she and her children played, they could feel her happiness. 'Mum, you are so happy, did something happen at your place of work?' Leigh asked. 'Nothing too spectacular but I am happy - so happy that I have all my children with me!' she said and it occured to her that she will have to keep them secret from Hec
'What I found most strange was the fact that uncle Wayne asked us if he could come in', when we got to the door', Landon said, her eyes narrowed, thoughtfully. 'It was as though he wanted us to invite him in' 'How's that odd?' Alexa asked. 'He brought us from school and opened the door and when he allowed us in before him, he stood at the door, waiting for us to invite him in!' It made no sense! He knows he is always welcomed. 'Maybe he didn't want to take your hospitality for granted, he was just being polite!' Alexa suggested, not seeing the great deal in it. 'I doubt that!' Landon said. 'Then why didn't you ask him his reasons?'' his mother asked. 'I did but he just smiled but said nothing and by the time he started playing games with us, I forgot about it. I just recalled it now!' 'Landon, forget about that. I see nothing strange about it. I told you so, yesterday!' Leigh said, brushing off her brother's anxiety. They were still speaking when they heard a knock at the door
Myles looked the man standing at the door from head to toe and asked with irritation, 'And who are you?' How dare this man interrupt him when he was sure he was already making headway with Alexa. 'I am the father of Landon and Leigh!' the man said. Myles stared at Alexa questioningly. Didn't she just say she didn't know who the father of her pups was? Alexa shrugged, looking at the man. 'Wayne, you are here!' she said lamely. 'Yes, I was shocked that you went to work instead of having your rest at home. The accident was not a joke and you know all we had to do to revive you!' 'That is true', Myles said looking from the man called Wayne to Alexa. 'I know you should have recuperated, I used my blood to revive you!' Wayne looked at this silver haired man. 'You must be joking. 'I was the one who cured her with my blood!' 'How can you do that when you are not her mate?' Myles asked, his irritation at the man's lies rising. 'But I am her mate and apart from that, we vampires can hea
How time flies! It was the long awaited weekend and as Alexa waited for Hector to bring Lionel, she felt both apprehension and excitement grow in her. She was bubbling with excitement that Lionel was going to be staying the whole day and next with them but apprehensive that Hector would find out about Landon and Leigh. Her thoughts were interrupted as she felt her heart jump when she heard the car pull up in the premises. She looked out the window and sure enough, it was Hector and Lionel. 'Mum, you have been so excited, is it just because Lionel is coming to spend the weekend with us?' Lionel asked. She wanted to tell them Lionel was their biological brother and not just their best friend but the time was not right yet. 'You even went shopping and bought more food items than you have ever bought before!' Leigh said, giggling. 'Not that I am complaining!' 'I bought more because we are having guests and I want him to feel comfortable. His father is rich and gives him the best. I d
