~KARLA~ Before we boarded the plane, Jessica suggested that I change my name at least so Levi won't be able to track me down. She also said it was better not to leave a trace as we left so it couldn't be tracked as well. I didn't know how she was going to be able to do that since Levi was a Mafia King and possibly had the best tech team there was but Jessica just smirked and said; “Leave that to me. I just need your consent" I frowned. Deep inside of me, I did want Levi to come find me and take me back into his arms. “You said Anastasia was a powerful witch right? I don't want any harm to befall you, you have suffered enough. If Leaving Levi will let her leave you alone then that's the right choice" Jessica muttered and even though I didn't agree because being with Levi was the right choice, I didn't want harm to befall anyone. I just hoped Anastasia was able to treat him well and love him right. Soon after, Anastasia made the arrangements and we flew
~LEVI~ “I'm coming with you," Sebastian muttered as we rushed towards my car. “No you have to stay here and take care of things. I'll be back with her as fast as I can" But he shook his head. “I'm coming With you and I don't care what you say" I frowned but before I could say anything, Lucien appeared out of nowhere. “Have you found her?" My face immediately turned cold as he walked up to us. Call me salty but I blamed everything on Lucien. If he had just stopped feeding Anastasia lies, all this won't have happened. “Why? So you can go tell Anastasia?" I muttered and he sighed. “Look, I wasn't in support of what she did to you but you have to understand that she did it because she loved you. She…" “You are still supporting her? It's great to see that you value her over me, your own brother" His eyes widened as he shook his head. “That's not what I meant, I…" “I don't want to hear it. Sebastian, you're staying here. You're the
I just stood there, unable to say anything as I stared at them with wide eyes and my heart racing like it was about to leap out of my chest. Mate? She… she found her mate? “Oh, you must be Levi. It's nice to finally meet you" The mate who I now knew as Andrew greeted then outstretched his hand towards me and I wanted nothing more than to punch him across the face and pull Karla towards me. “Karla, can we talk?" I muttered without shaking Andrew's hand and I watched as he withdrew it with a whistle. Before Karla could speak, her fucking mate spoke for her. “No can't do. We were on our way out, right Karla?" Karla, who hadn't spoken for a while, nodded, refusing to meet my eyes. “So if you'll excuse us…" My eyes narrowed when he wrapped his arm firmly around her waist and was about to pull her away when I grabbed her hand. “I want to speak with you Karla, please" They both paused at my words then Andrew sighed. “You can always ta
“Wow that was rough" I turned to the voice and saw Zane leaning against the tree with his arms folded. “How long have you been there?" I questioned as I stood up and he shrugged. “Not that long but I have wolf hearing so I heard everything" I sighed. “I'm not in the mood for you now, I have to think of a way to get my girl back" I muttered as I was about to walk past him but he grabbed onto my hand. “Sit, we need to talk about Anastasia" I frowned then yanked my hand off his grip before turning to him. “Can you see what she has done to me? She almost cost me the woman I love so no, Zane, I do not want to talk about her neither do I want to have anything to do with her" I muttered with a glare but he just sighed. “You know Anastasia is not a bad person and she did it because she loves you. I'm not condoning her actions and I'm not saying you should forgive her but she called me last night and was crying hysterically because of you. She dese
~KARLA~ Despite what I said, I found myself searching for Levi as Andrew walked me back home. “I enjoyed tonight although we hardly spoke" I frowned and instantly began to feel guilty. “I'm sorry Andrew. I'll make it up to you" I murmured and he grinned. ’“I'll hold you up to that" He muttered then leaned in to place a kiss on my cheek before he could get close, I moved away. “I'm sorry, Andrew" I murmured as I stared up at him with guilt on my face but he just smiled. “We'll get there someday. Have a good night, Karla. I'll be thinking of you all night" He murmured and I smiled. “Good night Andrew" I opened the door then walked in and let out a sigh as I rested my back on the door. “Karla, you're back. How was the date?" My mother, Joan, walked up to me wearing an apron and a smile on her face. “Hey mother, It was great. Andrew just left. He would have come in but I think he was rushing somewhere" For some reason, my father didn't se
~KARLA~ I walked back into the room and threw a pair of pajamas at Levi. “Wear that" I muttered and he frowned. “Who owns this?" He questioned as he stood up from the bed. “It's for Andrew. It should be around your… Hey!" I screamed as Levi threw the clothes out the window. I immediately ran towards him then frowned as I watched the clothes fall into a pile of mud. “Why did you do that?! You…" “Why would you give me his clothes? That's disrespectful" I froze then turned towards him and frowned when I saw the hurt look in his eyes. “I didn't mean it that way. You need something to wear and…" “I don't need to wear anything, what's wrong with me sleeping naked?" He muttered and I noticed he tried to put up an innocent front but I could see what was swirling in those orbs of his and it made me shiver. That was when I noticed how close we were standing next to each other. I immediately moved away like I was being burnt and he frown
~LEVI~ “You'll sleep in here. We don't really know what's going on between you both but I do not condone such acts under my roof. Plus, my daughter is very innocent" Karla's father muttered as he pulled me towards a room far from Karla's and I scoffed at his words. If he only knew half of the things Karla and I had done. I turned to her and a smirk appeared on my face when I saw how red her face was. She was properly thinking of the sans thing I was. After showing me to my room and getting me comfortable, Karla's father left and dragged her mother with him, probably trying to give us space. As soon as they were gone, I pouted at Karla. “I can't sleep without you" I murmured and tried reaching out for her but she rolled her eyes and backed up. “Don't say such things in front of my parents. My father might like you now but they have been very protective of me ever since I got here" I murmured. “But honesty is the best policy, isn't it? Plus I
~KARLA~ I had wanted to prove to Levi how stubborn I could be so I didn't cancel it with Andrew and of course, Levi came with us. What I didn't expect was how Levi stood in between us at all times and any time Andrew made a move to touch me, Levi would touch his gun slightly and I would end up pushing Andrew away. It's not like I believed Levi could shoot him especially since the park was crowded, I just didn't want to take any chances. Andrew noticed this and I noticed how bummed out he looked. I knew he just wanted to spend quality time with me but with Levi, that wasn't going to happen. “Do you want to go on the ferris wheel with me, Karla?" Andrew questioned as he stood in front of me with a hopeful expression. I had to commend his ability to not give up. “That doesn't seem like it can contain the three of us" Levi commented and I rolled my eyes before turning to him. “Andrew and I will go on the ferris wheel, you'll stay here" He frowned.
~FOUR YEARS LATER~ “Momma? When are we going to visit aunty Jess and uncle Bash? He promised me a Barbie dream house" Isabella uttered as she swung her little legs back and forth on the chair while I dressed her up. We'll go and visit them soon enough, my love. I'm sure they miss you" I murmured then placed a kiss on her cheeks before carrying her in my arms. “Where's dada?" She murmured and at that moment, Levi's head came out from behind her room door and he had a huge smile on his face. “Hey my Queen and princess" As his whole body came into view, my eyes widened as the huge bouquet of flowers in his hand. “For you my love" He murmured as he outstretched it towards me and I grinned before slowly placing Isabella on the ground. “This is so cute, thank you" I murmured as I placed a kiss on his lips. “Dada, I want flowers too" Isabella pouted as she outstretched her little hands towards him and Levi grinned. “I can never forget my little princess" He brought out a smaller banq
~A FEW MONTHS LATER~ “Push" The nurse uttered and I groaned as I pushed as hard I could while clinging onto Levi's hand. He leaned forward and placed kisses on my face. “You can do this my love, you've got this" He muttered and I nodded then took a deep breath. “One final push, give it all you've got" I screamed as I pushed and the only thing on my mind was I was finally going to hold out baby. The baby we made with love,our miracle baby. As soon as I heard the cries of the baby, I began to shed tears of joy and Levi was crying beside me. “It's a girl. She's the cutest baby ever" The nurses cooed and I opened my arms to receive her. Levi and I hadn't wanted to know the gender, we had wanted to be a surprise but everyone had already guessed it was going to be a girl. “I want to hold her" I uttered and one of the nurses came forward and opened my chest since the baby needed skin contact. As soon as the baby was placed in my arms, I bursted out crying as I stared down at the baby i
~LEVI~ I smiled as I stood in front of Karla's hospital room, listening to her laughing with Kiara. It felt like I haven't heard her laugh so hard in years. I knocked on the door then opened the door and walked in. They both turned to me and I immediately walked up to Karla and placed a kiss on her lips. “You both seem to be having a lot of fun" Karla suddenly stared at me sternly. “You didn't tell me she was your first love" My eyes widened while Kiara raised her hand in surrender. “I didn't tell her, she found out" I bit my lower lip and tried grabbing Karla's hand but she swatted my hand away. “Is that why you took me under your wing because my name sounded like hers?" I gasped as my eyes grew wider. “Karla, no I…" “Don't talk to me or touch me" She murmured then turned her head away from me and I turned to Kiara with a frown. “What did I do wrong? Anyway, we should hang out again don't you think? When you get better, you have
I sighed then leaned down and kissed away the tears on Karla's face. “Karla please, stop doing this to yourself" I muttered and she sighed. “I still can't believe she killed herself just to save me and now your brother is depressed" Kiara had assured me that her heightened emotions were because of her pregnancy hormones but it was clear that Anastasia's death had dampened everyone's mood even though it happened a week ago. Zane and Kiara hardly came by anymore because Kiara said Zane was very down and couldn't stop blaming himself for what happened while Sebastian and Jessica tried their best to comfort Lucien but that didn't seem to be working. He was slipping into depression especially since Anastasia's body was taken away and he couldn't attend her burial because since she was still the Queen of witches, only a few witches could perform her burial ceremony. Daniel and Heather had brought the kids with them and when they heard the news, they had been devastated as well but it w
~LEVI~ As I was about to rush towards Anastasia, Zane and Sebastian held me back while Lucien covered her whole body with his. “I didn't do anything. I don't have any powers for crying out loud" She screamed behind Lucien and I clenched my fist. “Nothing that comes out of your mouth is the truth! This only happened because you are here!" I screamed. “Levi, calm down. Screaming isn't going to solve anything" Kiara tried to reason with me but that witch was still in my space. If she hasn't done anything, what was wrong with Karla then? I furrowed my eyebrows when she suddenly came out from behind Lucien and stared at me straight in the eye. “I know you hate me, I know you all do and I don't blame you for it and I'm not here to ask for your forgiveness. I'm here to save Karla and if you don't let me in there, she's going to die" I gritted my teeth and tried lunging at her but Zane and Sebastian's hold on me was strong. “Karla doesn't need your help
My eyes widened as Lucien walked towards me. When he had called me earlier, I hadn't expected him to actually come. I tried standing up but immediately lost my balance and fell to the ground. Lucien was in front of me in seconds but I shook my head at him then flashed him a smile. “I'm okay" He pursed his lips then took a few steps away from me before letting out a sigh. “Zane said you had a way to help?" He muttered and I nodded. “Yes I do. I can help Karla" He frowned. “How can you do that when you have lost your powers?" I pursed my lips. “It's a forbidden spell. Even those without powers can cast it" He frowned. “You are not telling me everything," I smiled. “It doesn't matter. Just know that I can save Karla and I'm ready to save her. All I just need is physical contact with her" He stared at me for a while then sighed. “If this is one of your schemes then…" “It's not a scheme. I just want to help, that's the onl
~LEVI~ The next few days were hell for me. Karla wasn't showing any signs of waking up and the doctor kept bothering me that it was the right choice to take the baby out but I didn't want that. If Karla woke up, she'd want to give birth to her baby normally. I didn't want to deprive her of that. While Daniel and Heather had volunteered to go bring their children over since Kiara and Zane didn't want to leave my side until Karla woke up even though I tried convincing them I was okay because I didn't want to trap them here. What if…what if Karla took a year before she woke up? “My heart won't be at rest if we leave you this way just like you stayed by me when I was in an almost similar situation like hers" Kiara murmured as she placed her hand on his shoulder. “And you stayed by my side and became my voice of reason. Do not worry about us, we'll stay in a hotel in the meantime and since the children will be coming soon, Kiara won't be as anxious" I glanced at both
~ANASTASIA~ I kept quiet as Lucien led me into his house but couldn't stop myself from staring at him. He looked so worn out and tired, not like the Lucien I knew before. He had become more rugged looking. “Wait till the rain stops. If you want to kill yourself, do it somewhere I can't see you" He murmured as I sat down on the couch. He was about to walk away when I grabbed his hand.. “Lucien, I…" “Don't think because I brought you into my house means that I have forgiven you. I can never forgive you for what you did, Anastasia" He muttered and the tears streamed down my face before I could stop it. “Lucien, please…" “Because of you,my brother has gone through so much pain! His woman is currently fighting for her and their baby's life. All this is because of you and you think just because you came to apologize, all will be forgiven? You are a vile woman and no matter what, I cannot forgive you neither can I forgive myself. If I hadn't indulged y
~LEVI~ The next few days went by like a breeze. I stayed beside Karla, holding her hand and talking to her, hoping she would hear me and know how much I missed her. “Yesterday, Zane bought your favorite flowers for Kiara. Apparently that's her favorite flower too. I'm sure you both have a lot in common and I can't wait for you both to meet. I miss you so much, so damn much" I murmured then leaned in and placed a kiss on her lips. “Wake up my love, come back to me" I let out a sigh as I wanted nothing more than to hug her tightly. “Hey" I turned around and watched as Sebastian walked in with his crutches. He had woken up before I did but his bones were fractured so the doctor asked him to limit his movements. I was glad it wasn't anything permanent except maybe some of the injury marks. “Hey. Where's Zane and the rest?" I questioned and he sighed. “Zane and Kiara are with the doctor while Daniel and Heather went out to get food for everyone. Jess
