Johnny's povOnce I had made her understand what she was supposed to, I kissed her forehead and excused myself from the room. There were a few things on her mind, but I had told her all I wanted her to know.By the time I got out of the room, I signaled the guard who was standing by the door all the while, and he followed me to where I was going.It was time to teach the man a lesson. My face was dark, and my hand fisted. My teeth were gritted together. I planned to make him wish he wasn't born because he was really stupid for thinking I would allow him touch her, and go Scott free.These days I am getting really fond of her. Her presence, her scent. Being around her was enjoyable. I didn't see a reason why she should be left. It was almost as though there was a lot I didn't know. However, I was starting to understand that she was a really fun person to be around.As soon as I got into the dungeon, the stench of blood hit my nostrils. My eyes turned red, and I inched my pace to
Kira's pov“What do you mean by you don't think it's the right time for us to do this? You told me we were going to be married. Not only that, you would announce me as your Luna. I can't keep staying here this way, Levi; I need to let you know how I get about things like this. You know how they affect me.”I raised my voice as I tried to talk sense onto Levi. He had promised me, and now he was trying to back down again which pissed me off greatly. I had made all the preparations ready. My gown, my guest list, everything. However, all I heard was him making a hell of a noise now about it.“It's not you that's the problem. It's me. I have always been in the shadows. You understand what I mean, right? I don't know what I want.”The moment he said that I frowned. “You are always the problem. I am fucking ready to be your bride, but then you always act as though I am not good enough. Don't tell me you're still in love with that cheater! Oh…” I paused like I had just realized Somethin
Lia's povI was worried. For days I haven't seen Johnny. I stood up from the bed and paced around. I was really worried that I had to come up with a plan. Something to know his whereabouts. Even the maids who always carried the gusty gossip had no news.I rushed out of my room after making a decision, which was to go meet with his sister.With intentionality, I rushed away from my room, but on getting to the place, I discovered that I was a bit hesitant. I didn't have a good relationship with his sister, and I didn't know what her reaction was.“You have to ask her. At least it would show that you care rather than staying quiet. You understand what I'm trying to say right?” My wolf asked with worry. It seemed like she had also come to a point where she was also worried about Johnny.I took in a deep breath, trying to fall. My nerves and my sweaty arms. “You're right. I understand what you're trying to say. I know I am scared of her, but then I need to put my fear aside.” I sw
Lia’s povHe held me tightly, and moved with me away from his sister who was obviously boiling in anger. This was another strike, but then he was taking her out of the picture officially.“Um, are you sure you should send your sister away?” I said with worry. I didn't want anything that could cause a problem between siblings. It was alright to fight with her, but sending her out of the house was so bad. It was as though I was the beginning of the crises, although this time, it was something else.“Don't even start. Why are you pleading on her behalf. I mean, I am not really happy about what Is happening. All I can tell you is that I wish you all the best. That's why I'm willing to take her away from troubling you. I mean, she has no virtues, she has nothing she's doing that makes sense. I feel like she hates you because I give you more attention than her, and only solution is to send her away.“But she's your sister.” I paused, hoping that it would sink in. “I mean your sister
Levi's pov. I was worried about everything. She was pressuring me so much, and I didn't know what else to do about it. I was fed up. I would be lying if I felt anything for Kira. I liked her, but then the only reason we bonded so close was because she came to me at my lowest point. It was as though things were confusing for me. “Darling?” Kira called my name. She had a smile on her face and even hugged me. I was shocked, but didn't react which made her confused. There was confusion; she frowned and even got angry with me. “Why are you acting this way? Why are you doing this to me because I know you are acting up. Don't you want me?” Her question made me confused, and I sighed. “I just need time. I need time to understand what's going on.” “Really? Time?” She threw back and was worried about the way things were. “How much time do you need? You've been saying this since she left. What the hell is your problem?” At her words, I raised my hands but paused mi
Lia's povThe day had finally come. I was tensed, but then I stared into the mirror as I tried to get ready.My heart drummed crazily, and I closed my eyes, taking in small breaths.“Someone seems tensed. What's the problem?” It was Johnny, and he had a smile on his face. I didn't think I had any problems with it. I was more worried about my interview. “The interview. I don't know if I'm going to do well. I'm scared. I just need some time to think. I am worried because I don't know if I can do it.” I was now pacing back and forth, and my chest ached with fear. However, there was comfort for me. Johnny moved closer to me, and there was a smirk on his face.“Can you be sure about what you want? I worked this out for you and I trust you're really smart. I know what it means for you to be fine. That is if you calm down.”No words were said. Things were strange for me. I didn't know where to start anymore. I wanted to be bold, but I didn't know how else to make it happen.“You'll be
Lia's povI was so happy about the interview. I didn't know why, but maybe it was because of the smiles I got from him that made me happy. I had never expected him to be so friendly. From the looks of it, he didn't know that I was somehow connected to the Alpha.“Very intelligent woman like yourself. You seem like you have a lot of experiences in things like this.” I nodded. “Yes I do. I have a lot of experience, I am a very hardworking soul, and I don't mind doing any kind of job.” He nodded. It wasn't even like an interview, it was more like a chat. We were chatting with each other, getting to know each other. At that moment, he stretched his hands and shook me firmly. “Congratulations. You are getting the job. You are you resume tomorrow, first thing in the morning.” “Really?” I asked, and he nodded with a smile which made me smile as well.“Thank you so much sir. You are a blessing to me. I will make sure to be here early,” I explained.It was only a matter of time before I l
Lia's povThe best day started rather quickly, and it was my first day at work. However, it seemed like I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I felt a wave of pain all over me, and I felt really sick. It was so much that even the maid assigned to me was so worried she had to check up on me again and again.“Ma'am. Are you sure you're fine?” She asked, watching how I shivered.I nodded. I knew I was sick, but I didn't want to put it in mind. There was so many things on my mind. Infact, I thought I was going to die, but I didn't want Johnny to be aware. I didn't what to put him in a state of emergency.My heart drummed crazily. I was worried about the way things were supposed to be.“Maybe I should let the alpha be aware of the situation. I mean, I didn't understand what else was going on with you. I'm scared and the alpha would be really angry if I didn't tell him anything.” “No, please don't tell him. I don't want him to worry. I can take care of myself. I'll be fine.” She shook
LIA TWO MONTH LATER I stared through the window to see the kids playing around with kids of maids in the house and it's the most beautiful thing I've seen. After everything they went through two months ago they were pretty outgoing except for Nora She sat at the water fountain watching them with her drawing book and a pencil in her hand. She hated playing with anyone for long and she started drawing on walls before we found out and got her the book After moving in here two months ago I accepted the fact that this wasn't Johnny's home anymore it was ours, he might have lived here once but all his memories had died after he did what he had A knock on the door caught my attention "Come in" I turned away from the window to look at who it was and saw Fiona - a maid with a tray of breakfast "oh, you really didn't have to do this " I reached to reduce the workload on her hand before setting it down "He didn't want the kids disturbing" She brimmed and look to the door to see Levi in an
LEVI As I held Lia close, I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt and responsibility that washed over me. I should have been there to protect her, to prevent this from happening. But I was too late. The damage was done. All I could do now was try to make it right, to help her heal from the trauma she had endured. I looked down at Lia, her eyes closed, her face pale and drawn. I could see the fear and anxiety still etched on her face, even in sleep. I knew it would take time for her to recover, to feel safe again. But I was willing to do whatever it took to help her, to support her through this difficult time. I gently stroked her hair, trying to comfort her, to reassure her that she was safe now. The police were still processing the scene, taking statements and collecting evidence. I knew there would be a long investigation ahead, but for now, I just wanted to focus on Lia, on helping her to heal. As I stood there, holding Lia close, I couldn't help but think about how fragile lif
LEVIThe news hit me like a physical blow, a wave of nausea washing over me. Lia. And the children. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic drumbeat echoing the terror that clawed at my throat. I had to find them.I called the police, my voice trembling as I relayed the details. Then, I raced to the park, every sense on high alert. I searched frantically, my eyes scanning the ground, the trees, any sign, any clue that might lead me to them.And then I saw it. A small, almost imperceptible glint of metal on the side of a nearby building. A CCTV camera. A flicker of hope, a lifeline in the sea of despair. I might have heard from Ella but I don't trust herI rushed towards the building, my mind a whirlwind of frantic thoughts. I had to see the footage. I had to know what happened.The building manager, a kind-faced woman, looked at me with concern when I explained the situation. My position in the community, as a well-respected businessman, thankfully, carried weight. She immediatel
LEVI "Any luck yet?" Sir James asked as I stepped into the room and all the elders turned to looked at me "You look absolutely horrible" Sir Felix said and I tried to push out a smile but it was impossible I felt how I really look like. We still going find Lia anywhere. The mate bond was messing with my head as I can really no longer function correctly "There's none" I looked up to Sir James and he gave a sad smileEven if some of the elders hated then the idea of Lia coming back they knew too well that it was a bad idea to tip me off in this stage. Johnny and Kira were also now found and Ella was found in the hospital with a head injury but she was still unconscious "Go to the hospital, Levi. Hide your real identity and go and meet Ella. She was also one of the kid's baby sitters and she might be the answer we all need at this point" My spine straightened as that got my attention knowing it might be true Nana was questioned and the poor woman was now scared to death but Ella on
JOHNNY I looked at her shiver as she held on to the kid with all her heart. It was a cute way but my wolf was inching for blood to be drawn, Lia's blood precisely and then the kids and absolutely no one will know because they are down here Out of everyone elses reach. The excitement I felt within the dept of my stomach couldn't possibly be described I knew the kids had been given a new dosage of drugs when I had picked them from the room which meant they will be asleep got forty eight more hours which gives them a peaceful death Too bad but Lia on the other hand "What do you want?" She asked with her body trembling with fear and if my joy wasn't in excess before then it was now "You""Johnny please spear them, they are just kids. If you're worried about their memories of you and revenge then you don't have to worry because they are just kids in a matter of months they will forget about all of it" Tears rolled her eyes and I stood up from the chair I was sitting on "That doesn't
JOHNNY My plan has come to end and everything went as planned. Kira sad on her way to Levi and I had Lia and the kids with me just like I wanted. I looked at my computer to see her tied up in the corner of the cell I guess it's time I pay a visit to someone. Twisting my lips into a smirk I got up from the chair and went downstairs to meet her, the place has been silent ever since she murdered Ella It had taken me completely by surprise that she would kill her but after I watched the footage I was convinced otherwise and left speechless, how could I not love a woman who could defend herself against anyone except meI pushed door open and she lifted her head from the cell to look at me, her eyes burning with fury and though her face had a trace if purple and a bit of swelling due to fighting with the guards, this woman had never looked more beautiful "You aren't eating" i muttered as I opened the door and stench on blood and food filled my nostrils but I ignored it and walked in"An
LEVI My phone rang in my pocket and I ignored it like I had done the last thirty minutes. I hated that I felt so hopeless about the situation, the phone rang again and I groaned in frustration to see that it was my Beta "What is it?""She's no where to be seen. I have locked the beta of the back like you have said there's no one important anymore. What's the next line of order?" I remained quiet as disappointment crashed against my heart "Go home and rest, let everyone hurt het medical attention.""You're giving up?""Do as you're told, don't question me" I hung up before he got the chance to say anything and I stepped into the car to sit down Even if Kira had left an hour ago I had stayed behind and fought ten different people who obviously wanted to kill me because of Johnny but honestly didn't know where to do check anymore I have warriors searching every edge of this place and no one has found anything, the only trail being Nathan was gone. His scent was enough evidence for m
LEVII sat in my office and the files that were staring back at me were about to really get burn. Nothing else matter to me, it's been a month and I still couldn't find her or the kids. Business was completely trash and I have every single investor and shareholder I've known withdrawing each day My phone buzzed on my table which made me startle a bit and I let out a heavy sigh before I picked the phone"Having fun on your search?" The sound of the modulator sent a chill down my spine and anger spiral up my throat "Joh... Anthony whatever fucking war we have between us leave them out if this!""Who's Anthony?""Don't play dumb with...""Lia is a bloody mess and the kids are dead" My spine jerked up and my heart flew out of my buddy as a chill air made me freeze "That's not pos... Hello? Hello!" I looked at the screen to see that he was hung up and called him again "The number you're trying..." I threw the phone across the room as I heard the customer care line No, no, no, this can
LIAI stared at Ella, my mind reeling with questions, my heart heavy with sorrow. She didn't seem to notice, her expression unreadable. "Ella, please," I whispered, my voice cracking. "Tell me what's going on. Why are you here?" She didn't respond, didn't even flinch almost like she didn't know who I was and this was her first time seeing me. It was as if she was a statue, a mere shell of the person I once knew. I felt a chill run down my spine. What had they done to her? Had they brainwashed her, manipulated her into betraying me? The thought sent a wave of nausea washing over me. I struggled against the restraints, desperate to break free, to escape this nightmare. But they held firm, biting into my skin like cold metal teeth. Ella's gaze flickered to the children, and for a moment, I hoped to see a glimmer of recognition, of compassion but I saw nothing but blankness. But it was quickly extinguished, replaced by a mask of indifference. "They're fine," she said, her voice flat,
