~LEVI~ I let out a groan as I rested my back on the car seat. What was I thinking? I had just wanted to tease Karla and make her blush some more but for some reason, it… the way she looked at me with eagerness and lust turned me on. Most times when women look at me that way, I either feel nothing or disgust but for her, it was different, too bloody different that it made me angry. I hardly even knew her and I wasn't attracted to her, was I? Even if I was, it was just purely sexual. Ever since I met her, that sexual tension has been looming over our heads. I had tried to ignore it but just ended up making it worse with what I did today. “Fuck, I need to get laid" I muttered as I massaged my temples. Just then, Lucien climbed into the car and sat down beside me. “Didn't I ask you to stay home and watch after Karla?" Lucien sighed. “Sebastian said he would watch after her. Besides, I need to talk to you about something" I furrowed my eyebr
I immediately jumped out of my car as soon as I parked and rushed towards Sebastian who was standing at the side, waiting for me. “Where are they and what the fuck is going on?" He sighed. “I don't know what's going on but it seems pretty intense" I frowned. “Did you try to stop them?" He bit his lower lip. “I tried but I don't know how to separate a girl's fight" I glared at him and was about to start yelling when we heard a very high pitched scream. My eyes widened as we immediately ran towards where the scream had sounded from and the scene in front of me was not what I had expected at all. On the ground was a wailing Megan while on top of her was Karla who kept throwing punches and scratches at Megan without giving her time to breath. “Help!" Megan suddenly screamed, snapping me out of my thoughts. “Stop that now!" I screamed and Karla's fist paused mid air. She stayed like that for a while before turning to me and an embarra
~KARLA~ I peered up at him with wide eyes as he took a blanket from his closet and began laying it on the floor. After he was done, I was about to lay down on it when he stopped me with a confused look on his face. “What do you think you're doing?" I frowned. “Aren't you laying it down for me?" He scoffed. “What kind of gentleman would I be if I let a woman sleep on the ground while I lay on the bed? Go lay down, this is for me" I shook my head. “No. I don't mind, you can lay on the bed. You don't look like someone that has ever laid on the ground before while I'm very experienced in that field" He stared at me for a while then sighed before grabbing onto my shoulders. “Go lay on the bed" I stubbornly shook my head. There was no way I was going to let him lay on the ground. “If this is how it's going to be then I'll go to my room" I turned around to walk towards the door when my feet were suddenly lifted up from the ground. I shrieke
Karla stayed quiet for a while then she shook her head with a soft smile on her face. “I don't think I'm mentally and physically prepared to see him yet" I sighed then nodded. “Okay. Go to sleep now, we have a long day ahead of us" I murmured as soon as she let out a yawn. I stared up at the ceiling for a while till I heard her even breath which meant she had fallen asleep before I turned to stare at her. I didn't know why and I couldn't understand it but things were different with her. It didn't help that I related to her on a more emotional level. I took a breath as I clenched my fist. She didn't want to meet up with Jason but that didn't mean I couldn't. The anger I felt in my heart after hearing what he had turned to her could only be diminished after I beat him to a pulp. I turned to my nightstand and grabbed my phone before dialing Sebastian's number. “Find Jason Anderson's whereabouts"•~KARLA~ The sun slipped right through the c
~LEVI~ I watched as a frown appeared on Kiara's face. She opened her mouth to speak but before she could get a word out, I walked away, not even sparing her a glance. It was lust, it had to be but that was the problem. I had never lusted for someone like I lusted for her. I never even lusted for Kiara because deep in my mind, I knew she could never be mine. Sebastian and Lucien were right, it was a dumb decision letting Karla into my personal space especially since she reminded me of Kiara. Things were intimate with us from the start and I brushed it off, thinking nothing was going to happen because I thought I knew myself and my body but apparently, I didn't. I ran my fingers through my hair as soon as I got out of the mansion. Letting her stay in my room was the last straw. Her boobs bounced up and down while she slept and fuck, I know it made me look like a lunatic but it wasn't hard to miss. It was hard to restrain myself especially because I
~KARLA~ I stood there for a while as I watched Levi walk away. I didn't really understand what he meant by his last words but for some reason, the fact that he ached for me as much as I did for me brought a smile to my face. “I thought he said I wasn't his type" I murmured as I walked towards the door but before I could step a foot out of the house, some men appeared in front of me. “Boss said you are to wait for him inside the house. He'll be back soon" I frowned then looked past them and saw Levi walking away with his brothers. Where was he going? “Did he perhaps tell you where he was going?" I questioned as I turned back to them. “The whereabouts of the boss is none of our concern, Miss Smith" I bit my lower lip then nodded. “Of course. I'll wait inside then" I murmured. They nodded and I closed the door behind me before letting out a sigh as I glanced around the big mansion. I was all alone here again. I really hoped Levi would be back q
~LEVI~ I punched Jason right in the jaw before throwing him across the room. He let out a groan as his body collided with the shelf, bringing the things on the shelf down with him. “Alpha!" One of his men shouted from behind me. “Stand back!" Jason yelled before coughing out blood. He raised his head slowly and glared at me with his eyes glowing red. “You have had your fun, give me the antidote" I tilted my head at him. “I haven't even done anything yet. All the pain you're feeling right now is all thanks to the poison coaxing through you" I murmured and with every word, I took a step towards him. He glared hard at me. “You bast…" I punched his cheek so hard that he fell to the ground, coughing out blood while holding onto his stomach. “How did it make you feel when Karla begged you to stop hurting her? Did it make you feel like a god? Huh? Did it make you feel superior?" I muttered calmly but when he didn't reply, I grabbed onto his face
I frowned as I stared at Sebastian. “Is he mad at me?" I questioned and he tilted his head. “Why do you ask that?" I bit my lower lip before letting out a sigh. “Because he was pretty mad earlier before he left," Sebastian smiled. “Did you do anything to make him mad?" I shook my head slowly. “No but…" “Then you have nothing to worry about. Are you ready? We'll be leaving now" Sebastian uttered and before I could say anything, the old woman walked out from the dining room. “Sebastian, you're here?" He grinned as soon as he saw her and a smile appeared on my face when he walked up to hug her. “Madam Lucia, it's been so long since I last saw you. How's your son?" She smiled then nodded. “He's doing much better now. Aren't you going to have breakfast?" He shook his head as he pulled away. “I have to carry Miss Smith over here, shopping. She doesn't have any clothes" I watched as he exchanged a few interactions with Madam Lu
~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
