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

How he was able to do it, I didn't know, but all that mattered was the fact that he was able to save me from the hands of the pervert.On getting to the car, he helped me into the passenger seat and placed the seatbelt around me to ensure my safety before going to the driver's seat.When he got to the car, I remained silent. I wanted to know what exactly he was going to do to me. I was maybe going to be yelled out, or punished, but he didn't say anything.He got into the car, started it, and drove off. The car remained silent until we got to the pack house. Worry flooded my mind. I was not happy about what was going on. 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? That's the reason why you shouldn't ever go without my help or protection. Imagine I didn't tell a guard to follow you. You won't have been able to esc

    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.

    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

I wanted her more than anything but I had destroyed her far more than anyone in the world She opened the box revealing the moon shaped necklace I had gotten for her. It matched with the wedding earrings I got years ago and reject filled me knowing I had messed up the entire thing "Should I help you put it on?"

I hated coming back because I had to see her but most importantly I missed the kids already"You're back, I made lunch come on let's eat" I glared at her as she linked our hands together and I pulled away from her"I told you not to touch me, keep your hands to yourself, I'm not hungry!"

    LIAA MONTH LATERI woke up to the sound of someone banging against the door. Oh moon goddess, forgive me if I kill these kids with my own handsPushing my leg off the bed I walked to the door to see Nathan standing and the smell of blood but my nose so hard that panic glared within me"Let me see." I crunched down, and he showed a cut on his hands. It didn't take a genius to realize he was playing with the knife, and I still can't figure out how in the world he even got there? "... What did I tell you about playing with knives?!" I yelled at him and he flinched"What's all the fuss about?"
