Despite what the old woman had said last night, I had decided to keep my distance from Levi for my own peace of mind. I was already in love with him, there was nothing I could do about that but I could try to get over him. Maybe it wasn't even love, maybe it was…. Who was I kidding? I was in love with him and I think I had fallen in love with him since the first day we met and now here I was, dealing with the consequences. The next day, while Levi was having his check ups, Sebastian had volunteered to go check on things at the company since Levi was not around and I immediately volunteered to join in. “You… you don't want to stay here?" Sebastian questioned and I noticed the way he glanced at Levi but Levi didn't even turn to me. “Yes, I have to start work one day. I need to learn the ropes before Levi returns back to the company" Sebastian scratched the back of his neck as he nodded. “Okay if that's what you want. Let's go then" I hated the way I waited for
After what happened that night with Levi, I didn't sleep in his room and he didn't suggest it either. Luckily for me, the encounter I had with Jason had minimized my fear of him but nevertheless, I still woke up In the middle of the night panting. The next few days were the same with me and Levi. We exchanged little pleasantries and I treated him like my boss, nothing else. Surprisingly, being Levi's assistant was a very easy job especially because he wasn't being harsh on me even though he was cold. It was the same cycle everyday, we'll all go to work together then go our separate ways. I'd get Levi's coffee as soon as he settles down then I read him his schedule before he dismisses me. After that, he made me organize some documents then called me in whenever he needed me. I had to stand by his side while he had some of his meetings and I also followed him on some of his meeting dates but even with all that, we hardly spoke to one another. Even th
~KARLA~ I paused my lips as I stared at him. “So what? You think you can just utter you want me and I'll open my legs for you? Leave me alone Levi" I pushed at his chest with all my strength then ran towards the door without looking back. As soon as I was inside my office, I let out a shaky breath as I fell to the ground. pushing him away had to be one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. I had been so close to giving in, I wanted him and I was sure that was obvious to him but I had decided to put my own peace of mind first and Levi was a walking mental Hazard. After what happened, Levi didn't call me in or give me anything else to do and I was grateful for that because if he came onto me like that again, I won't be able to refuse him.• ~LEVI~ I scowled as I listened to Sebastian laugh. “Oh my, I can't believe a woman has finally drawn your attention this way aside from Kiara. It's the fact that you are seated there with a bulge in your p
I was seated at the backseat of Levi's car with a scowl on my face. No matter how hard I pushed Levi away, he wouldn't stop kissing me till I agreed to get into the car and there I was being driven away to goddess knows where against my protest. “Levi, I'm not in the mood for this. I just want to go home" I muttered but he totally ignored me just like he has been doing for the past hour. “Levi!" I yelled out his name and he let out a sigh. “Can you calm down, we are almost there" He murmured and I glared at him before letting out a sigh. “Levi, I…" “We are here" He interrupted my words as he abruptly parked the car. He climbed out of the car while I folded my arms and sat there stubbornly. I watched as he let out a sigh before walking around the car till he was in front of my door. He opened it then glanced down at me. “Come let's go" I rolled my eyes. “I'm not getting down from this car till you tell me where we are" I murmured and he s
My eyes widened at his words then I frowned. “What do you really want from me, Levi?" I murmured. Was it really because of sex that he was doing all of this? “You can easily get any girl to sleep with so why are you doing all this just to sleep with me?" I questioned softly and he sighed before shrugging. “I won't deny that I can get any girl I want but I want you. Plus, I enjoy your company. Isn't that enough?" I bit my lower lip as I felt butterflies in my stomach. He could get any girl he wanted but he wanted me? Why did that make me so happy to hear? Levi may not be in love with me but he liked my company and craved my body. Maybe overtime, if I showered him with enough love, he would fall in love with me? “This is not going to end well" My wolf muttered in my head and I Immediately tuned her out. It has been torture without Levi and I couldn't do it anymore. I walked up to him and wrapped my arms tightly around his naked chest. Oh how I missed t
I let out a contented sigh with a smile on my face. After what happened with Karla last night, we had come back home and had sex over and over again. I hadn't wanted to let her go but she said she was tired and just wanted to sleep so I let her be. I never used to be someone that was obsessed with sex but with Karla, it just felt so amazing and I was addicted to her. I was addicted to her taste and I was obsessed with the way she made me feel. I let out a yawn as I reached forward to touch her but the space on the bed where she was supposed to be was empty. I opened my eyes slowly then furrowed my eyebrows as I glanced around. She wasn't here. “Karla?" I called out as I glanced around but she didn't reply. I got out of bed and out on my sweatpants then quickly brushed my teeth before walking out of the room. I was about to walk into her room, thinking she was there when I inhaled a burnt smell. I furrowed my eyebrows as I walked down the hall and gave
“I can't go to the office, why?" I questioned as I was seated on Levi's bed, watching him get dressed. After his conversation with Sebastian, he had said his goodbyes to I and Lucia and I had noticed that he suddenly looked serious so I had followed him up to his room. “Because neither of us are going to be there today and I don't want you being there all on your own" I frowned. “Is there something wrong? Where are you going? Is it… is it Jason again?" He froze and I instantly knew I was right. “I'm so sorry, it's because of me he's troubling you so much" I murmured and Levi turned to me with a smile. “Don't worry about it, okay? Get some rest or if you can't then you can take my card and go to the mall or something and get yourself whatever you want. You should get a phone" I shook my head. “I don't need a phone since I have no one I want to reach out to" I murmured then let out a sigh as I stared at my feet. Levi suddenly raised my chin with his f
~LEVI~ It was only then that I saw the resemblance between Karla and the girl behind her. The girl suddenly scoffed as she wiped away her tears angrily. “I'm not your sister! What kind of sister leaves her family like that without a trace?!" The girl screamed then pushed Karla away. I immediately caught Karla in my arms then turned to the girl. She was fuming and I wanted to say something but I knew this was a family issue. “I'm sorry, I had my reasons and…" “Because of you, mother cried herself to sleep every night and Dad fell into depression, thinking they had done something wrong to you to make you run away without having the conscience to reach out to them. We even thought maybe you were dead or in trouble but here you are, buying all these luxurious things and having the time of your life!" Karla was sobbing quietly in my arms as she refused to raise her head. I really wanted to say something because only her sister knew what she had gone thro
~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
