“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
The next morning, Levi was gone and I was left alone with Lucia to keep me company. Sebastian and Lucien had obviously gone with him but that morning, Sebastian had handed me a phone with all their numbers in it before they left and I made sure to reach out to Levi every evening to know how he was doing. I know I seemed like a clingy wife but I was worried about him. I was grateful for the phone though because during the moments I was alone in Levi's room wearing his shirt and cuddled up in his bed, the phone helped me get through the night. It was either I was scrolling through social media or I was face timing Levi till we both fell asleep. Another thing I did which I wasn't proud of was stalking Levi on Social media and goddess was he popular! He was always the number one trending topic and he was the most desired Bachelor in Italy. “Jokes on them, he won't be a bachelor for long" I had said to myself and I had to shut out my wolf so she didn't ruin the mo
“You fainted because you lost too much blood but luckily, it wasn't anything fatal. The poison had been severed and the injury should heal as you rest here for a couple of days" The doctor said to me as I laid down on the bed. I sat up seconds later and was about to pull out the syringe when Sebastian stopped me. “Didn't you hear what he said? He said you're to rest here for a couple days so your wound would heal" I tilted my head at him. “And why is it necessary that I must rest here?" Lucien scoffed. “Levi this is your health we are talking about here, why can't you rest here?" I pursed my lips then let out a sigh. “Because Karla is probably worried sick about me and I need to return" I muttered as I pulled out the syringe from my hand. “And who the fuck cares if Karla is worried? Your health comes first" “Well I care and there's no rule that says I can't get better at home, right doctor?" We all turned to the doctor and he gulped before
For the next two days, I made sure to cling onto Levi like my life depended on it. I didn't care if I annoyed him, I needed to have enough of him before he traveled. Currently, we were in his office and I was seated on his lap, peppering his face with kisses. “Karla, I'm not dying you know?" He murmured and I paused before glancing down at him with a pout. “Are you tired of me?" I questioned and he smiled. “Of course not but you have been clinging onto me like I'm running away or something" I frowned. “Maybe you are" He sighed then grabbed onto my hand. “I won't even spend up to a week there, okay? I'll be right back before you know it" I stared at him for a while then sighed before wrapping my arms around his shoulders. “Promise me you won't fall in love with another girl while you're there?" I murmured and he let out a chuckle then placed a kiss on my cheek which made me frown. He hadn't promised me… Just then, Sebastian walked into the o
The next morning, Levi was gone but he made sure to leave me in Sebastian's care and although I had fun with Sebastian, it wasn't the same and I missed Levi deeply. I called him even more frequently than I did when he went on his mission and he picked up everytime except on the day of the wedding because he said he wanted his full attention to be on the wedding and I understood but I couldn't help but worry especially since Sebastian was doing everything to take my mind off the situation while Lucien was acting very suspiciously which just made things worse. “Why don't we go somewhere else?" Sebastian uttered as we drove back from the ice cream shop that day. I shook my head then flashed him a small smile. “I'm okay, I just want to rest. Thank you for trying to take my mind off Levi but why are you so nice to me? Ever since I came into you guy's lives, you have treated me like you have known me all your life. Why?" Sebastian smiled. “Because I know you're
My eyes widened at her words and that was when I remembered Anastasia had given me a goodbye kiss. “Oh it's nothing, it was just a…a silly game" I murmured as I let out a nervous laugh. Why was I hiding the truth from her? Why didn't I just tell her about my situation with Anastasia? If she found out later on, it was going to hurt her more. It's not like I did anything wrong, Anastasia was the one who kissed me so why… Why couldn't I bring myself to tell her about Anastasia? I stared into her eyes and it was like she was urging me to say the truth but I couldn't so I just smiled and crashed my lips on hers. “I missed you so much" I murmured as I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. “But Levi…" “Shhh, I didn't go around kissing any girl, okay? Will you kiss me back now?" She stared up at me and gosh, she was beautiful. I always knew she was beautiful but she shone differently that night and the last thing I wanted to do was hurt her. She wrap
~A FEW DAYS LATER~ ~KARLA~ “I heard that you and Levi are practically inseparable at the office as well, Karla" I heard Lucia murmur as I sat down at the dining table with Levi. He chuckled at her words and I blushed when he placed a kiss on my cheek. I've been wondering why he was so clingy these days, not that I was complaining. It almost felt like… like he loved me but I knew that was just wishful thinking. “I won't be going to the office today so you can take this as your day off, okay?" Levi suddenly said and I turned to him with a frown. “Why? Where are you going today?" I questioned and he sighed. “Sebastian has an event to go to tomorrow and he has made me promise to follow him to get a suit" Just then, Sebastian walked into the dining room and I glared at him making him raise his hand in surrender. “Hey you have been hugging him for days now, it's my turn and I need my brother" I frowned. “Why can't you go with Lucien?" I questioned
~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
