Kira's povThe day of my brother's burial arrived, and it felt like a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from. I stood at the grave side with Levi by my side, and I was also surrounded by mourners, but my eyes were fixed on the casket that held my brother's lifeless body.“Why did you leave me?” I muttered while tears streamed down my face as I felt a wave of grief wash over me. Levi, my supposed lover and friend, tried to comfort me, wrapping a supportive arm around my shoulders. But even his presence couldn't ease the pain that felt like it was suffocating me.“Come on, you can't continue like this forever. Yes, he's your brother, but he'll want you to live a calm quiet life. I'm sure you understand what I mean, fight? Just calm down.” He whispered.“I can't,” i tried to whisper back but my voice was cracked. He was really a nice person, but I didn't even know how else to explain things to him.“You have to. I'm sure the pain is much, but you have to understand that we are willing t
Lia's povI jolted out of bed because I was late, but last night was really awesome. I couldnt believe that I was able to sleep with this man by my side which was so strange.I swallowed, and stared at him for a while, lost in thoughts. He was something else, and I was prepared to make sure that he was understanding enough to get another woman better than Racheal. How could she have cheated on him, it just didn't make sense. I was still unhappy about it because it was looking as though it wasn't alright.Suddenly, my eyes moved towards the clock in my room, and my eyes widened.“Shit!” I screamed because I was late, and I was busy staring at the face of the alpha. I quickly rushed out of bed, and to the wardrobe to find the perfect clothes.It was then insw woke jeans. They seemed like they were going to work perfectly well because I wasn't really bothered about clothes unlike Maya. She was trying to attract some good guys, but it seemed as though it wasn't working.Once I entered the
Johnny’s povI looked up from the file I was working on, slightly irritated by the interruption which was done from the knocking. "Who is it?" I asked, and the person at the other side of the door quickly answered.“It's the guard,” he responded and I got a little troubled. Was there anything wrong. There was never any interruption by this time of the day. “What is it?” I questioned. I just wanted to deal with the issue, and go back to work. At least that would give me an opportunity to know what I'm in for.He didn't waste time to reply. "There's someone here to see you, Alpha," the guard replied, his voice neutral.Hearing that, I needed to ask him to come in, so I could ask more questions.“Come in, please…” i said, and the guard twisted the door knob, and pushed the door open before he came in.He rushed in, and bowed his head then he waited for me to speak.I raised an eyebrow. "Who is it?" I wanted to know who was visiting by this time of the day. It was really too early.The
Lia's povI walked up to the customer who had just walked in and tried my best to maintain a smile.I knew I was bothered about him, but I didn't want to know what else to happened to him, and why he was so interested in me.“Good morning, and welcome. What would you like to have?” “Something nice. I want something light, maybe they the cafe and coffee?” He answered and I nodded.“How would you like your like your coffee?” I asked and he continued.“Pure black.” I nodded. “Right away sir, and sccuried away from there. As I walked back to the kitchen, the chef looked up at me with a questioning expression. "Hey, what took you so long?" he asked, his brow furrowed in concern.I shook my head, not wanting to get into it. "Don't worry about it," I said, handing him the order I had taken from the other customer. "Just focus on getting this order ready."The chef nodded and quickly got to work. A few minutes later, he handed me the finished dish. "Here you go," he said with a smile.As I
Levi's povI stood up from my desk, my mind filled with concern for Kira. It had been days since her brother's burial, and she had barely left her room. I had tried to give her space, thinking that she just needed time to grieve. But now, I am starting to get worried.“Why are you doing this to yourself?” I explained as I paced around. My heart ached seeing her like that. It was because I had been in a state of losing someone before, and I didn't want something like that to happen to her. I didn't want her to get to a point where she was going to lose herself. I was extraordinarily worried about the whole thing. It seemed like life was getting harder to make decisions.As I was in thoughts, there was a knock on the door, and I sighed, snapping out of my thoughts.“Who is there?” I asked, and the person immediately answered, revealing herself.“Oh, come in. I want to talk to you.” I said, and she immediately stepped in.“Good morning alpha,” she greeted. It was Kira's personal maid,
Levi's pov.There was a huge conflict inside of me. One of the voices kept yelling for me to take her while the other kept saying there was no need to do it because she was vulnerable. However, I wanted the decision to come from her.I pulled away, and wanted to move away from the bed. However, she grabbed me tightly. Her hands were shaking. It was as though there were things that were supposed to be done. “Where are you going?” she asked sounding breathy. I didnt mind what she was saying. All I wanted was to ensure that things were intact. I was even trying my best to understand why things were like that with us. Despite the fact that I loved her there was always a barrier.“I don't want to do this without you concenting. I'm worried that you're going to be always like that. Did it really matter? I was sure there was a reason for everything that had been happening.” “Are you sure you're going to be alright?” I asked and was happy about the response I got from her.“Anything for yo
Lia's povI'd been feeling off lately like someone was watching my every move. From me going to work even up till now. It was strange, but I didn't want to think about it.However, it became more than usual.“Are you sure you know what's happening?” My wolf asked me to be sure At first, I brushed it off as mere paranoia, but the sensation persisted. I started to notice little things - a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of my eye, the sound of footsteps behind me when I was alone. I couldn't quite put my finger on who or what was causing it, but I knew I needed to be careful.My heart drummed like never before. I was confused and needed time to understand who was going behind me like this.It was only a matter of time before I was finally able to get to work. Even Maya was worried about everything else."Are you alright?" Maya asked, her voice laced with worry. She could tell that something was wrong, that I was distracted and on edge.She must have been able to notice it since sh
Lia's povMaya's eyes locked on mine, her expression determined. "I guess we have to handle it ourselves," she suggested, her voice firm and confident. At that moment anyone would think she was a detective of her own. She was so determined to work things outI nodded, my mind racing with the implications of her words. I had been so focused on trying to avoid the situation that I hadn't stopped to think about taking action. I just worried about being careful all of the time. This was the reason for everything. I didn't want a situation where things would slam harder.Maya's eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief. "To know who the suspect is, we need to speak to him," she said, her voice low and in thought.at first, there were so many things on my mind.“You want us to speak to the suspect?” I asked and was unable to believe it. I thought I was supposed to run away from the suspects. Why was she suggesting this now?She nodded slowly, her smile the perfect one. I swallowed hard. I was wi
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,
