Levi's povI sat in my study, feeling like my world was crumbling around me. Leya had rejected me, again. The first time she rejected me at her office I thought she needed time to process seeing me again. However, my attitude today showed that she didn't really even care about my existence. I couldn't understand why she couldn't see that I loved her, that I needed her in my life. “She didn't even let me apologize, and she's made me leave the office as though I was the reason why she was annoyed.”“You're the Reason she's annoyed. You chased her away, now you're talking about being together with her again? It's not easy. You made her so hell, and even chose her best friend over her.” “A mistake I will forever regret,” I answered the last words of my wolf before running my hands through my hair. “Let's just hope she's able to forgive us, and you also have to make sure you don't stop fighting for her.” My wolf growled inside me, urging me to fight for her, to claim her as mine. But I
Maya's pov I couldn't help but smile as I thought about the previous night's events. Lia had come over and we'd had a blast together. She'd made me laugh so hard that I'd cried, and for a little while, I'd forgotten all about my problems with Victor. She actually made me see the problem in a whole new light, and now I was happier. She acted like a distraction, and I was grateful to have Lia in my life. She had a way of making me feel better, of lifting my spirits and reminding me that there was more to life than being stressed over everything. “Where are you Victor?” I said inwardly, realizing that my attitude might have scared him off. However, I was determined to have breakfast first before worrying. Besides, it was still too early. Lia had woken me up with a gentle touch and a soft voice. "Hey, babe, I made you breakfast," she said, smiling at me. "But first, take care of yourself, okay? It seems like you've got a fever from all the crying.” I nodded, feeling a bit woozy, a
Lia's pov I walked through the front door, and Johnny looked up at me with concern etched on his face. "Welcome back. How are you doing?" He asked but there was still worry on his face despite the question. After what seemed like a while, I equally became worried and concerned as well. "I'm fine and you?" I answered, and he smiled. "How's Maya doing?" he asked, his voice gentle. It seemed like he was already letting out his worries. I took a deep breath, trying to summarize the horror Maya was going through at the moment. "She's alright, but she needs time to recover from trauma," I explained. Johnny's expression turned curious. "What trauma?" he asked, his brow furrowed. I hesitated, unsure of how much to say to him. However, I told him anyways. "Maya already knew about the... wolf," I said, choosing my words carefully. "But things took a bad turn, and it affected her deeply." Johnny's face fell, and he looked at me with sympathy. "Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that," he sai
Maya's pov. I felt loved. The way he kissed me made me go crazy, and before I knew what happened, I closed my eyes, kissing him back like my life depended on him. I was loving how he groaned when I used my hands to slip into his pants, rubbing his dick gently. Victor pulled away from the kiss “Oh gosh. We only had issues for a day, but it seemed like a year. Thank you for everything. You officially know how to make me go crazy...” His voice reached my ears. “Well, I learned from the best,” I answered, and he paused. He immediately held my breast, and tried to kiss me again. He was worried about how things were going to because we were both crazy. Getting enough of my lips for the moment, he carried me towards my room and once he got there, placed me gently on the bed with a smile on his face. Victor was always so sweet, and I loved how he made me feel like a little princess. “I love you…” he said, and when I attempted to remove his shirt, he smiled. “Slow down princess. It does
Lia's pov. I was hoping to see her, as I couldn't wait to get the issue I had off my chest. I immediately went into the bathroom to get a quick shower to help me get clean. Once I came out, I did a little touch-up, picked a comfortable gown I could wear, and headed out. By the time I got to Maya's place, I smiled. Knocking on the door. She opened, and I was glad to see her there. However, I did the unexpected. I wrapped my arms around her and smiled warmly to cover up the worries I had. “I missed you so much!” She screamed, and I chuckled gently. There was no doubt that a lot of things were being shown from her facial expression. “He came around, didn't he?” I asked, and there was a wide smile on her face. She pulled away from me and gave me a slight nod. “Yes, he did. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner. He had been here since yesterday, and we can't seem to have enough of each other. You were right. He has always been here for me. I love him so much, and I was hoping that
Lia's povThe week started differently. There was something off. I didn't know what else to say. I was pressed with work on all sides, and I've been letting Maya hang out with Victor. I was worried about my relationship with Johnny.I needed a way to make things work out. I needed time to work this out.I was still going through the files when my stomach growled. I immediately glanced at the time to see that it had already been a while.It was noon, and I hadn't even had breakfast yet.“I better go find something to eat before I start to starve,” I said, closing up the work that was on my desk.A smile spread across my face, and there was a sign on my lips. I immediately left what I was doing, and left for my favorite cafe.On getting there, I sat in my favorite spot and immediately got the waiter's attention. He rushed towards me, a smile on his face.“Good afternoon ma. What would you love to have?”I smiled because I knew the young guy. “Anything you serve here would be fine. I jus
Johnny's pov.I haven't been able to think straight since I left the house. I know I asked her to forgive me, but then I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong.She wasn't always this way towards me. Now, she was harsh, and distant. She didn't even want to forgive me. “There's something wrong. I know there is, and I need to find out what it is because if I don't. Then, I'm going to have to be at the losing end…" I expressed with my expression held up in a frown.“You're overthinking things. She loves you, but you're being too pushy. Have you forgotten that she has been through various forms of trauma. You have to understand that it's not the way that it seems.” I nodded again, but then the doubt in my mind.“Mr johnny?” the lady whose office I was sitting with was there. She had a strong expression of concern laced on her face.“Are you alright? I asked you a question and you seemed to have gone blank.” I shook my head, trying to maintain my composure. “um, I'm fi
Levi's povIt was another day with the elders. Their faces didn't seem too happy to see me, and neither was I happy to see them. “Alpha Levi,” they forced greetings out of their mouths, and I answered them with the same tone.“Alpha Levi. We are sorry we organized this meeting on such short notice, but it's really important that we did, and we are glad you attended.”I frowned, wanting them to actually go straight to the point because I was actually tired of their constant nagging.“Whatever you all say. What's the main reason for this meeting because I left something important to attend to your impromptu meeting, so what is it?” I asked, and one of them heaved. It seemed like he was the one speaking on their behalf today.“Alpha Levi, We know things aren't so good from your end, but we also know that you haven't been carrying out your alpha duties. Asides that, we haven't seen any developments about what we spoke to you about the next time.” Wave patterns formed on my head, and my
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,

LIAA shiver ran down my spine, fear gripping me. This wasn't the Johnny I thought I knew. This was a stranger, a cold, calculating predator. The mask had finally fallen away, revealing the monster beneath. I stared at him, my mind reeling, trying to reconcile the charming, friendly man I had known with the ruthless manipulator standing before me. The realization was devastating, a crushing weight that threatened to suffocate me. I had been so blind and so naive. And now, I was paying the price.I sat there, frozen in shock, as Johnny's words hung in the air like a challenge. I parted my lips to speak but the words stuck in my throat. Johnny's gaze never wavered, his eyes boring into mine with an unsettling intensity. He seemed to be savoring my shock, my horror, and my surprise. The silence between us grew thicker, heavier, until it became almost palpable. I felt like I was drowning in it, suffocating under the weight of his betrayal. Finally, Johnny broke the silence, his voice l
LIAAs Johnny stepped further into the room, the dim light danced across his features, revealing an expression I couldn't quite decipher. "Lia," he said softly, his voice low and gentle. "I'm so sorry. I never meant for things to go this far."My mind reeled as I tried to process his words. What did he mean? What did he have to do with this?"Where's Kira?" I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady. "What's going on, Johnny?"Johnny's gaze drifted to the children, and for a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of genuine concern. But it was quickly replaced by a mask of indifference."Kira's...not here right now," he said vaguely. "As for what's going on...let's just say you're in a bit of a situation."A bit of a situation? That was an understatement. I was tied to a chair, my children were being held captive, and I had no idea what these people wanted."Johnny, please," I begged, trying to appeal to whatever humanity was left in him. "Tell me what's going on. What do you want?"Johnn
LIAThe sun felt warm on my skin, a welcome change from the cool, sterile air of the mansion. It had been… too long. Too long since I’d felt the sun without a filter of tinted glass, too long since I’d heard the unadulterated sounds of children laughing, not just the echo of my own kids playing indoors. Levi had been right. He’d been so insistent."Lia,”he’d said, his voice firm but gentle, “I’m handling the paparazzi. You don’t have to live like this. They won’t bother you.” And for the first time in months, I’d believed him.So, when they had begged, their eyes wide and pleading, “Mommy, park? Please, park!” I hadn’t hesitated. I’d scooped them up, their giggles filling the sudden void in my heart, and we’d driven to the park.Watching them now, one of them climbing the jungle gym with surprising agility, and the other swinging so high I thought she might touch the clouds, a genuine smile stretched across my face. This… this was living. This was what I’d been missing.I wandered ov
LIAThe adrenaline was still pumping as I hurried, my hands shaking as I packed. The image of Johnny's betrayal kept flashing through my mind, making it hard to focus. I gathered the children's things, trying to keep my composure for their sake. They were still scared, clinging to me like frightened little birds. I managed a reassuring smile, though my heart was breaking inside.Levi helped me carry everything downstairs, his presence a source of comfort amidst the chaos. He loaded the bags into the car quickly and efficiently. We piled in, the children still subdued, their eyes wide with a mixture of fear and confusion. The drive to the stone mansion was a blur. I barely registered the passing scenery, my mind still reeling.When we arrived, I was awestruck. The mansion was magnificent, imposing yet welcoming. It looked like something out of a fairytale. My children tugged on my dress, their eyes sparkling. "Mommy, is this where we're going to stay?" Nora whispered, his voice fill
LIAThe click of the lock echoed too loudly in the sudden quiet. I peeked out, heart hammering against my ribs. He stood there, just him, thank goodness. My breath hitched. "What are you doing here?" I whispered, my eyes darting nervously around the street, half-expecting a swarm of cameras to materialize from the shadows. The paparazzi… they’d been relentless earlier, hounding me and the kids. The memory made my stomach churn. The paparazzi had followed him to the children's school and at a moment, I felt like yelling in frustration.I could barely step outside because of the fear of not having paparazzi chasing me with cameras and harassing me, asking him scandalous questions that I never thought would be made public and now that it was everywhere, she was scared for her children. He was alone, though. Just him. Relief washed over me, quickly followed by a wave of apprehension. I frowned at him, trying to decipher the worry etched on his face. It was there, plain as day, in th
LEVII slumped back in my chair, feeling like I'd been defeated. The board members' words cut deep, and I couldn't blame them for their disappointment. I was disappointed in myself too.I thought about Lia and our children, and how they were suffering because of my mistakes. I felt a wave of guilt wash over me, and I knew I had to do something to make it right.But what? I had no idea how to fix this mess. I'd never been in a situation like this before, and I felt like I was in way over my head.The board members continued to talk, discussing possible solutions and strategies, but I barely heard them. My mind was elsewhere, consumed by thoughts of Lia and our children, and how I was going to protect them.I knew I had to come up with a plan, and fast. But for now, I just sat there, feeling defeated and unsure of what to do next.As the meeting drew to a close, I knew I had to say something. I took a deep breath and stood up, trying to sound confident."I understand your concerns, and
