Johnny's POV

Her determination was too much, but I guess I needed to let her go no matter the circumstances.

She was all that was needed to be. There was definitely something else going on here, and even when I didn't know what she had in mind, and why exactly she needed a job, I intended to let her be free.

My heart drummed, but then I needed to let her know I cared about her. That was the only way she was going to trust me.

“So when are you starting your job hunting?” I asked, sitting on the bed, as I stroked her hair gently.

She smiled, maybe trying to convince me she was ready, or maybe she was about to drop the bomb.

“I think you shouldn't worry about it, but if you must know, I'm planning on actually going to look for a job in a restaurant.”

As soon as I heard that, I was really confused. I didn't know why she would choose such a lovely place.

I wanted her to walk somewhere in other to grow her status.

I was willing to do anything for her, and I didn't care

  • The return of the rejected Luna : Chasing her back    chapter 13

    Kira's pov I returned home pretty late, but I had a plan in mind. I wanted to go into my room unseen, and then rush to meet with Levi. He must have been waiting for me, and I didn't know what else to do anymore. Once I was able to get to my room without encountering him, I immediately rushed to get ready. There was a smile on my face. I had planned it all, and I knew he wasn't going to be able to forgive me. The rose bath was able to make me feel fresh. My scent amplified, and I smiled happily once I was out. The black lingerie I wore was also really alluring. All these to make sure he didn't take his eyes off me for a split second. “You're looking good. I'm sure he wouldn't be able to take his eyes off you,” my woman responded, as I stared at myself in the mirror while playing with my hair. “Yes you're right, Kiko…” I called the name of my wolf as I made a plan in mind. I was planning how to approach him, and ways to make him fall for me. “Perfect. I'm sur

    Levi's pov I wanted her, but for some reason, whenever I wanted to take her, I always recalled moments with Lia. Why would she cheat on me? She was such a good girl and was always ready to take charge. What happened? What changed? I questioned inwardly. However, I returned back to reality when I heard my name. It was Kira, and she called me to confirm if I was alright because I seemed more than lost. “Yes, I am fine. You shouldn't worry about me. I am here, and I'm listening to you, aren't I?” I asked with raised brows, and she sighed. “You aren't even hard. Don't I look entertaining, delicious, and even sexy?” She asked, making me sigh again. This was what I was trying to avoid, matey. Then it was easy to cheat with her, but now I felt like I was at a loss. “You still love her, don't you?” Kira asked and didn't even wait before asking another question. “How could you choose a cheating woman over me?” At this point, I was already confused. There was nothing that w

    Lia's POV “I'm ready to go now,” I expressed with a strong expression on my face. Happiness filled me. I had started a new life, leaving behind the pains, and horrors. It was as though there was a lot after my life. It was only a matter of time before I felt the fresh wind. He was behind me. Johnny seemed to not want to let me go. “The guards would drive you to the car, and they would make sure you aren't hurt. How about that?” He asked with worry etched on his face. However, I just smiled. I knew what he was facing, but I didn't want him to worry. “No, thank you. I don't want to make things worse. You don't have to worry. I told you, "I want to get this job because I deserve this, and not because you helped me.” I stood face to face with him, trying to convince him of the reason why I didn't want to ride in a car. “You're right. You have the right to choose whatever you want, but don't forget that things are only going to get worse for you if you don't choos

    Chapter 16 Kira POV I had already started the arrangement for me to be announced the Luna of the pack. The next full moon was pretty close, and I didn't know how else to go about it. The maids weren't left out. They went on all my errands, and the ones I didn't want them to go on, I went on my own. On returning from one of the errands, I passed a particular door but stopped when I heard the voices of two people speaking. At first, I wasn't interested and wanted to go my way when I discovered it was maids talking, but hearing my name being mentioned caught my interest. “I hate her so much; I mean, who does she think she is coming here to give us orders?” she asked, feeling a sense of superiority. The other maid kept quiet but listened to all the one speaking had to say. I also listened, while planning what punishment would be suitable for her. “You don't seem to understand what I have in mind, but I don't care. You see, I missed the time when Luna Lia was here.

    Lia's pov The manager we had been waiting for finally arrived, and I felt my heart race faster when the lady who had offered me a seat till he arrived informed me of his arrival.I swallowed, sweat slowly forming on my forehead. I stood up, and walked to the office, trying my best to gather the boldness I needed to speak before I entered the office.Once I reached there, my eyes lingered on him for a long time. I took time to take in his features, and I wondered what he had in mind because he was staring at me too much.The manager seemed to have his fair share of luxury. He was in a well-furnished office which had an air-conditioner. Also, he wasn't that old, but he seemed to have some features showing me he was in his early forties.He had brown hair and brown eyes, and he was of average height. Something I wasn't expecting. I didn't even know where to start.“Have a seat,” he gestured, snapping me out of my thoughts almost immediately.“Thank you, and good day to you sir,” I

    Johnny's povI didn't know why, but for some reason, I felt really uneasy allowing her to go alone.“You seem tense, and lost in thoughts,” my sister's words reached my ears, and I turned my gaze towards her, giving her full attention. “You don't understand what's going on, but maybe breaking it down would help you understand. She went to look for a job.” Her eyes widened, and she pressed her lips as though she was in thoughts. I noticed that she had a lot on her mind. “What exactly is the matter then? I mean, isn't that a good thing? She wants to be independent. Besides, you don't plan to take care of her, and that brat she's carrying do you?”I shook my head. “I don't plan to do that, but for some reason I'm worried. What if she's in trouble, or what if she planned to run away. You can't really be sure.” She furrowed her brows, and squinted her eyes, giving me a gaze that showed she was suspecting me.“I hope it's not what I'm thinking?” Once she explained that, I couldn't sa

It seemed as though there was something else he was waiting to tell me.Johnny carried me in his arms and took me into the pack house. I noticed the awkward stares I got from the guards and even from maids, but I didn't mind.Unfortunately, we bumped into his sister on our way to his room.“What happened? Interview gone wrong?” She

    Lia's pov.Once he had taken care of me for a while. He sat down close to me on the bed, making me love my head. I was extremely nervous. There was a lot on my mind as he stared at me silently. Now that we were alone, I didn't know where to start from. I could tell he was really angry with me.“I'm sorry…” I blurted out with worry. I knew he was really mad at me, but I didn't know what he was going to say to me.“I'm sorry about that happened. I didn't know it was going to be this way. I tried to fight back, I really–” He sighed, making me stop talking. It was obvious that he had something to say, but he didn't know what it was yet.I kept shut, my teeth biting against my lips. I didn't know what else to do about everything.My head was heavy, and I was just trying my best to wait for his words.“You see what I was trying to tell you?

    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

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.

    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?"

    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,
