Levi's povIt was another day with the elders. Their faces didn't seem too happy to see me, and neither was I happy to see them. “Alpha Levi,” they forced greetings out of their mouths, and I answered them with the same tone.“Alpha Levi. We are sorry we organized this meeting on such short notice, but it's really important that we did, and we are glad you attended.”I frowned, wanting them to actually go straight to the point because I was actually tired of their constant nagging.“Whatever you all say. What's the main reason for this meeting because I left something important to attend to your impromptu meeting, so what is it?” I asked, and one of them heaved. It seemed like he was the one speaking on their behalf today.“Alpha Levi, We know things aren't so good from your end, but we also know that you haven't been carrying out your alpha duties. Asides that, we haven't seen any developments about what we spoke to you about the next time.” Wave patterns formed on my head, and my
Lia's povI pushed him away as far as I could. Whenever he was close, I could tell he was always trying to convince me about his change, but I didn't believe it.How could he tell me Kira was no more on his way? I shook my head, my eyes squinted when the door bursted open."There's a bunch of letters, and flowers for you. I think they are some chocolate in there as well." She smiled after me, and made me sigh as well. Whoever it was was surely someone I knew very well."Did the letter say who they are from?" I asked, one of my eyebrows raised. However, she shook her head."It says they are from your secret admirer. Lemme guess..." Her smile only grew wider, and I couldn't contain mine as well. However, mine was more of a smirk with my hands crossed over my chest and a raised brow."Alright, take a guess since you seem to know all the secret admirers I have here, then I don't think there's any need to actually stop you.""Well, I think it's Johnny. Have you both settled the fight?" I
Lia's pov.I reached home, and immediately shut the door behind me with a serious look on my face. I was really annoyed, and didn't waste time going to my room for a very important rest."How dare you levi? How dare you?!" I roared inwardly, running my hands through my hair. I was so worried about what took place at the office today.I thought the gift was from Johnny. However, it turned out that Levi was actually being smart."Damn you!" I growled. However, upon turning my head. I grabbed my chest. "Ahhh! Fuck!" I screamed, breathing hard which caused Johnny to frown."Are you sure you're alright?" I asked with raised brows, and there was silence.I swallowed, stull breathing hard. It was as though I was confused."Lia?" He called, and I shook my head, trying to snap out of her thoughts I was in."Y-yes!" I answered, heaving at the end. "But you looked stressed, and you came home quite early. I was waiting to surpise you."Sighing, I nodded. "When did You get back? Wasn't expecting
Lia's povI got dressed by seven, and as promised, he came to my room and walked me to the car. At first, I had a bad feeling about it, but I decided to push that bad feeling to the side. Maybe this was the time to have fun."You're worried about the kids? There's no need to be. I asked one of the maids to watch over them. They told me you've been taking care of them well."I smiled. That wasn't really why I was unhappy but then that was a great way to feel relieved.Soon, we arrived at the place, and he led me inside, making me smile. I wanted to enjoy the night with Johnny today.As soon as we sat down, the waiter immediately rushed towards us, handing us the menu."So, what do you want to order?" He asked with a smile, and I blushed."I don't know. What would you like?"He pressed his lips together, eyes fixed on the menu for a while."How about the steak?"I nodded with a smile on my face. However, I still couldn't shake off the uneasiness I felt. There was something up, and I cou
Lia's pov The way I rushed out of the bathroom, and back to the seat caused Johnny's eyes to remain fixed on me. I could tell he was very much scared."Is everything alright. You seem a bit tensed." His observation skill was top notch. Of course I was actually really tensed. My main concern was why he was actually making me look like a lunatic. I didn't want anything to do with him. Yet, things were going haywire."I'm just a little bit tired, I think I'm not feeling so good," i expressed. I was hoping he would finally let us go home, and just as I suspected, he immediately agreed."Um, let's get you home. Maybe being overly stressed is what's making you this way. I'm sorry for how things turned out."However, he shook his head. "Your safety comes first. You don't seem to recognise it, but I do. The sooner you start understanding it, the better." I smile because I was happy about the way he took it. Respected him to be originally angry about my decision, but supported me and even he
Maya's pov"This isn't what I was expecting from you and your boss. I know I told you you could try your luck, but you're making her go crazy. I'm worried about her.""Worried?" He asked and I nodded. "Yes I am fucking worried. You expect me not to be? I don't even know what to say. My boss isn't really happy. She seems really unhappy with the way things are going." "What do you mean?" He continued to ask and I sighed."He's making her worry too much. Do you see all the things she's going through? I mean, the expression on her face says it all. You don't need to even see her." Victor sighed. He was worried about the way things were. "But you know I told you levi is a good man now. How do you expect her to actually not take him back." "Because she actually has a man in her life. She likes. He was basically the one who took care of her when your friend or your boss, I don't even know what to call him, couldn't."Victor lowered his head as he listened to what I was saying. It seems
LiaIt's been three days since the incident and I was doing anything but good. Johnny had been the sweetest person on earth, sending me breakfast and coming when he could and when I hadn't heard from him this morning, let's say I was a bit disappointedI pulled my laptop to attend to some work when suddenly a bang against my door had me shaken but I chose to remain quietMy kids had gone to school two hours ago and it was unlike anyone to come here except Johnny but he always knocked or just entered not banged against the doorIf that was Levi I was calling the police. My fingers were ready to dial the number but as I looked through the small hole in the door there was no oneA chill went down my spine, and I pulled the door open to see a letter on the doorstep; someone was there then. Everything in me cried not to pick it hurt but my body said otherwise as I crunched down to pick up the paper before looking around for anyoneI sniffed the air, channeling my senses, but felt nothing.
LIAAfter the dinner party two days ago Johnny had gone on a business trip and Levi had stopped following me around, I felt extremely relieved when I didn't see him again Perhaps the kiss had made him realized I had finally left him for good. I shut my laptop in the office ready to leave when a knock came at the door and I sighed "Come in" The door flew open and the secretary walked in with a worried look in her eyes "Ma'am, the investors from Poland just arrive, their meeting was scheduled for tomorrow but for some emergency they moved it to today" A chill went down my spine I hated the very site of the packs from Poland as they were very agitated, I wonder why Johnny took the deal to them of all people "Where are they?" I rised from my chair and picked my phone "The meeting room""Alright, are the documents ready for the contract and all?""Yes" My heels clicked against the marble floor as I walked to the meeting even if I was completely exhausted I've been in here all day de
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,
