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
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
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
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
LIAThe colors drained from my face as Levi's claws grew out and he attached Johnny who immediately retaliated with a dangerous growl that I have never seen before Without thinking I stepped between them but Johnny's claws rushed towards my face before Levi pushed me away and Johnny's claws drove into Levi's shoulder which made her gasps immediately "Johnny!" I yelled at immediately see to Levi's wounds but it was already healing by itself, relief washed over me but Levi's eyes was gold "Levi" I spoke softly but he was glaring at Johnny with such deadly eyes that gave me chills "Stay away from him, Lia! He is dangerous!" I stood in front of Levi not listening to a word Johnny was saying while I reached for his heaving chest "... Lia""Shut the hell up!" I snapped at Johnny not taking eyes off Levi. I knew johnny was the strongest Alpha and Levi was second on that list and angry Levi was not something I was ready to see My entire body was suddenly yanked back and Levi's eyes flared
LIALevi leveled a look before heading towards the house and I tried to follow him but Johnny's arms were suddenly around my torso "Let go of me!" I yelled and he immediately did"Listen to me Lia""No, I don't know why the hell he is calling you Anthony and I have no idea why you are acting all possessive when you know who he clearly is""I just want you safe" His voice soften and my body relaxed knowing exactly what he was talking about "I..." I was cut short by the door opening and closing quietly Levi have his hand shoved in his pocket as he walked towards car and without a good bye he was gone. I could tell that he had a lot to say but he choose to stay quiet, that's definitely not the Levi I knew before "It's a good thing he left" Johnny grumbled behind me and I turned to glare him "What brought you here actually? It's almost the middle of the night and you didn't think I'll be asleep?" I was pissed that he had made miss the chance to go home again I was grateful for every
LEVII watched my phone ring for the millionth time and I knew it was from Lia but I couldn't bring myself to answer it, I was too angry and but speaking to her was the best option for me now A knock on the door made me look at the door before grumbling a 'come in' and a guard walked inside with his head facing the ground "What is it?""The Elders have fix a minute in ten minutes and they want you there on time" I glared at I'm and looked to the window "I'll be there" The guards left and I held on to the sheet like I have been doing for the past few days ever since I left Lia's house Five minutes passed in a breeze and I began to let go of my anger before heading out to the meeting. I respected the elders often but when they get on my nerves it's usually really annoying in every possible way I pushed the door open and raised my brows as I saw Kira sitting on a chair next to mine in the middle of the room backing me which made me frown"What are you doing here?" She turned from he
LEVI After Kira left the room I digged out more evidence and pulled my father's journal from my closet. I haven't opened it in years but I needed to know what was really going on and why Anthony really left I opened the journal and my heart hammered at the sight of my father's handwriting but I swallowed gently and focused on the mission I had FLASH BACK LEVI'S FATHER P.O.V.I watched Anthony get thrown off the mat for the fifth time today before I called the training section off knowing the poor child needs rest "Anthony, go upstairs and meet Martha to take care of your wounds" He hurried upstairs and I sighed before heading towards my chambers were my wife laid Even if we have been married for years we weren't able to have kids. I honestly didn't give a care in t world as long as long wife was alive but I the elders were restless and so was my wife "Anna? Are you alright?" She shifts in the bed and looks at me with tears prickling down her eyes which made my heart snapped "
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,
