Lia’s POV “Mmm…” I groaned as I struggled to sit up on the bed since I had just woken up. Last night was fun. It was the best time of my life since I faced only pain most of the time before. I was still in thoughts, recalling what happened last night when my eyes were directly towards the door. I heard the handle being pulled open, and I was shocked to see Johnny there with a tray in his hands. It contained a lovely breakfast that smelt heavenly “Good morning. Someone looks happy. How are you doing?” He asked as I passed a small smile. I was shocked that an alpha who was supposed to be on a contract with me as his girlfriend was taking it a bit personally. Too personal. “I'm fine. How was your night?” I threw back the same question to him, and he smiled. Indeed, he was trying his best to ensure I was well; maybe he meant every word he said. I thought as I watched him close the door with his legs, and walk closer to where I was with his smile still on. “You were really t
Johnny's POV “Let go of me, stop it now!” Once we were out of the room, my elder sister, Belle, yanked her hands off mine and was breathing hard. Because of how she struggled, she got her hair messy, so she fixed it up, cleaning off her sweat with her handkerchief before glaring at me. “You're not fine. Is this what I expect from you? You told me you can handle the kingdom, but it seems like you're slowly turning into a servant!” She screamed at my face again, and I tried to plead with her to lower her tone. “You want me to stop talking? Aren't you ashamed of yourself? You are something. How can an alpha be holding a tray, and then–” “She's my girlfriend.” At that moment, she paused, and for a second or two, there was total silence until she laughed. “You must be crazy. Are you fucking kidding me?” I asked with raised brows, and she stopped laughing, glaring at me with anger. The seriousness on his face made me lump in my throat. I wasn't scared of my sister, but she
Lai’s pov I was feeling really anxious, and even when I really wanted to stay in bed, I wanted to know what Johnny's sister was going to say about the situation. I didn't know what else to say. I was really really worried. My heart kept drumming, and my eyes were fixed at the door. If only he knew what was on my mind, he would have come to clear my doubt. I ran my hands through my hair and tried to get on my feet. My heart drummed hard, and my lips were dried. If only he knew what was going on. As soon as my worry increased, the door was pushed open, gaining my attention. My eyes were fixed on the door, and he was standing there. Seeing him excited me. I was so happy I was over the moon. Pushing myself up from the bed with the little strength I had gained, I rushed towards him and hugged him tightly. “Are you sure you're fine? You seem anxious. I know you're worried about my sister.” He expressed, his hands touching my hair. I noticed that there was something about him.
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
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.
LEVI I watched her as she looked between the box and he with my heart pounding so hard that I could hear it in my ear. 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?" Her eyes shimmered with the longing I felt and for once I wished she will push the pain away and see that I have truly changed "Yes please" I walked to her and picked the necklace from the box before gently sitting behind her It was hard enough that I had to watch her around with the kids but sitting this close to her was like being close to heavenI wanted her, hell I needed her. Unclasping the chain I put it around her necklace before locking it back. She shivered as my fingers brushed her skin and I immediately pulled away from her "Can I ask you somet
LIAAfter the board meeting Johnny acted weird which made me a bit worried about him. After thinks severally I couldn't take it anymore, I walked to his office to see him on a call and he seemed pissed "Fucking find him Ella! I don't care if you have to wreck the entire world to find him but do it if that's what it takes"He paused and listening to the other person which I couldn't really hear while grabbing the tip of the curtains with way too much strength, his back was facing me and it's a miracle that he hasn't notices my presence "Ella" He warned and his his hand ruffled his hair "... The man is in this earth or we wouldn't be having this conversation, don't fucking on piss me off, remember what's in the line" He hung up and let out a heavy sigh "What's on the line? And who is Ella?" He turned around fast and his body stiffened which made me confused "When dud you get here? And how much of that did you hear?" His face went s bit paled which made me worry "When you asked her
JOHNNY"Are you alright?" Lia asked and I smiled "I'm relieved that you were able to reach your ex-husband for help and things have been sorted out." I watched as she visibly relaxed"Let me get you something to eat" I grabbed her hand and pulled her into my arms Goodness! This woman was going to be the death of me "There's no need for that, I have to go home now and get some things done""The company?""Nope. You don't have to worry I'll be fine, don't stress yourself and how about we go have fun tomorrow without the kids involved? Maybe a movie?" She stiffened about before suddenly relaxing "Alright" I let go of her and said goodbyes to the kids before heading out I didn't know who her ex-husband was but it made my blood boil knowing he was in that house when I wasn't around and maybe he even tried to win Lia back but she's hiding it away from me I picked my phone and dialed my secretary number "Shannon, tell Adams I'm coming to his resident now, I don't care what he is doing
LIAIt's been two days since Levi came here and let's say these kids have been a real pain in the ass. Nathan and Nora were too stubborn and Natalie almost seemed like a depressed childI knew they were growing close to Levi but did his distance really take a troll them even without knowing who that was really was to themMy iPhone buzzed as a message popped on my screen and I realized it was JohnnyWithout thinking twice I picked up the phone, opened it, and almost choked on the massage"Hey, sorry to inform you so late but I'm like thirty minutes away from you"My eyes widened as I read the message over and over again not believing my eyes. Johnny was back, Johnny was finally backI let the kids continue their game in the front yard while I walked in to inform Nana of Johnny's arrival. She seemed skeptical but happy, or was I reading her expressions wrong?The car horn blasts through the silent house from the gates and the gates fly open automatically recognizing the sound of Johnny
LEVII frowned deeply as I walked into the house to see Kira standing at the staircase smiling. 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!" I growled at her and my fangs came out accidentally and I groaned in frustrationThe last thing I needed was my wolf to get out of controlShutting my eyes I forced him out and walked away from Kira to go to my room"The elders are waiting for you" I stopped in my tracks and looked back at her while I had a weird feeling"What were you doing with the elders?""I live in this house as well, plus the entire pack knows we are together," my wolf snapped, and I lost all form of control.I grabbed her neck and pinned her against the wall so hard that the entire house, my nails dug into her skin slowly and her eye
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?" I looked up to see Levi covered in flour which made me glare at him"You kept the knife in sight?" His face suddenly went pale as he looked at what Nathan had done "... Nathan go and place a plaster on that cut" I stood up and narrowed my eyes on LeviThe door shut and I spoke"You know the kids are moving from left to right, and you left a knife lying around?""It was an accident, I didn't know wh
LIAI waited for hours and I was restless while still in Levi's arms. I hated that he was comfortable but I craved to hold my baby which I couldn't and only Levi could hold me down to this chairThe door flung open and Levi let go of me as I stood up to face the doctor and almost stumbled"Is she alright?""Congrats. The surgery was a success" I let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding as a smile made its way to my face and my eyes stung with tears"Thank you so much, can I see her?""You both can go" For a second I had. Complete forgotten that Levi was standing behind me"Thank you. Go on" Levi spoke and without the hing, I hurried into the room to see the colors radiating from her faceShe seemed a bit pale but my child was all right. I kissed her forehead and tears flowed down my cheek as joy cursed its way through my bodyI turned around to see Levi standing at the door watching me"Lia... Come in"I said He moved from the wall like he had been waiting for permissio
LEVI "bone marrow and hers don't match and the doctor can't find anyone else that has a bone marrow to donate to her, you are our last hope Levi, please don't let my child die" A chill went down my spine as I stared at Lia trembling, her eyes full with tears and fear which made my heart shatter into piecesI walked to her not being able to see her cry but stood when jw as an inch away from her. I couldn't touch he without her permission again, this was my only chance to really try to win her back "Nora is my child as well, I'm not going to let her die" I whispered and out of the blue her arms were thrown around my neck which made me shiver a bit My body stiffened beneath those soft arms and I wanted to wrap my arms her when she suddenly pulled away from me to wipe her tears "Give me few minutes, I need to pick something up" I left the room without waiting for her to say anything My bit my teeth to stop my wolf from coming out. It was pretty obvious that he wanted her just like I
LIA My heart hammered against my chest as I looked at Nora sleeping peacefully. I didn't know what to do, Johnny was yet to be back and I didn't want to disturb the business trip by telling him about it. Levi The name crossed my mind knowing that was the only person left for me to ask for help. I couldn't let my ego and pride get in the way of saving my daughter, I needed to go and see him as telling him over the phone was just weird after ignoring him for so long "Doc, please watch over my daughter" She gave me a sad smile before I left the room trying to force myself not to cry My phone rang for the millionth time today as I reached the car and realized it was Nana and I picked up "How is she?" "She needs a bone marrow transplant and mine don't match. Johnny must not hear a word about this, please; the last thing I need is him getting worried while he is dealing with business. I won't be back as soon as I anticipated but I will find a way out. Take the kids to your pl
