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 absolutely heavenly

“Good morning. Someone really 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 personal. 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.

    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 really 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 have a lump on my throat.I wasn't scared of my sister, but she

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 chose such a lowely 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 how long it was goi

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 on mind.

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.

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.

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.

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

Are you sure you're fine?” She asked, watching how I shivered.I nodded. I knew I was sick, but I didn't want to put it in mind. There was so many things on my mind.

    Lia's povI was so happy about the interview. I didn't know why, but maybe it was because of the smiles I got from him that made me happy. I had never expected him to be so friendly. From the looks of it, he didn't know that I was somehow connected to the Alpha.“Very intelligent woman like yourself. You seem like you have a lot of experiences in things like this.” I nodded. “Yes I do. I have a lot of experience, I am a very hardworking soul, and I don't mind doing any kind of job.” He nodded. It wasn't even like an interview, it was more like a chat. We were chatting with each other, getting to know each other. At that moment, he stretched his hands and shook me firmly. “Congratulations. You are getting the job. You are you resume tomorrow, first thing in the morning.” “Really?” I asked, and he nodded with a smile which made me smile as well.“Thank you so much sir.

I was tensed, but then I stared into the mirror as I tried to get ready.My heart drummed crazily, and I closed my eyes, taking in small breaths.“Someone seems tensed. What's the problem?” It was Johnny, and he had a smile on his face. I didn't think I had any problems with it. I was more worried about my interview. “The interview. I don't know if I'm going to do well. I'm scared. I just need some time to think. I am worried because I don't know if I can do it.” I was now pacing back and forth, and my chest ached with fear. However, there was comfort for me. Johnny moved closer to me, and there was a smirk on his face.“Can you be sure about what you want? I worked this out for you and I trust you're really smart. I know what it means for you to be fine. That is if you calm down.”No words were said. Things were strange for me. I didn't know where to start anymore.

    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

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

    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

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

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.

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.

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.
