All Chapters of Puppy Love: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

~Harper~ Justin seemed a bit tired when he got in the car, and I wondered what he might have been up to. Leaving Jacob's Villa behind, I looked at my cousin where he sat. "How was your night?" I asked him, and he smiled. "Stayed awake all through," he said and looked at me. "I can see it was the same for you. I bet Jacob came to say hello," He said with a broad grin, and I wondered how he knew. "How did you know?" I asked him. "He kept his eyes on you from the moment we arrived. He tried tirelessly to get you alone, but I never gave him the chance. You were his focus all through. I was worried he would try something stupid at night, which was why I linked you, but it seems he is a gentleman after all," Justin said, and I did not know it seemed like that from the outside. I guess I had a lot to learn. "So, what did you discuss?" He asked me, and I sighed. "He gave me his number, took mine, and said he wanted us to be friends. He also said he would visit me in Grizlo," I said, an

~Liam~ The glint in Josephine's eyes indicated that she enjoyed the battle. I would lie if I said it wasn't thrilling. I was afraid, but at the same time, Alex and I saw it as an opportunity to practice everything we had been taught most of our lives. I had never been in a life-threatening situation before, so this was thrilling. It seemed like they had come to take us. The driver ensured that he stopped on an isolated road so they could attack his colleagues and subdue us. I guess they were not expecting the might they met. "I wonder why they did not use any of their contraband items before initiating this attack. The wolves seemed pretty ordinary to me," Josephine said, making a valid observation. They must have known Josephine and I would not go down easily. Josephine had the same abilities as Aunty Amelia, making her super fast and deadly. I was as tough as my dad. They would have needed the Agk32 to successfully subdue us. I know it is wrong for dealers to get high

~Harper~ ONE YEAR TWO MONTHS LATER. Jacob kept his promise and visited me in Grizlo. He came whenever he could and was a gentleman about it. Justin believed Jacob liked me, but I wouldn't jump where he was concerned. Now that I was a little over nineteen, I needed to be careful because whoever I was with would be my mate. There was no mystery about Jacob, and he seemed like an open book, yet I was still dragging my feet where he was concerned. I did not know if it was our investigation or the circumstances that surrounded me, but I just wanted to give it time. Jacob had checked on me in Lucland once and had dinner with my parents, and they liked him. I knew it must count for something, yet something held me back. We were fixing up the hall in the packhouse at Grizlo for Josephine's 18th birthday. Liam wanted to go all out, and this was where he was starting from. He had booked a holiday in a lovely resort on Cain Island with the help of Caspian, and I did not know what he was

~Caspian~ Lord Lawrence settled onto the couch in the breakfast lounge, with Charlotte and me occupying the two adjacent armchairs. His expression was neither angry nor pleased but rather a mixture of disappointment. "I am deeply disappointed in you, Lotte," he began, directing his gaze at his daughter. "You not only moved in with Caspian, but you also ceased coming home and stopped responding to our calls. It seemed almost as if you were deliberately distancing yourself from your family, Lotte," he remarked, his disappointment palpable as he shifted his gaze to me. "Was it your idea? Did you intend to isolate her from her loved ones?" he inquired, his tone carrying an accusatory undertone as he directed the question at me. "Enough!" Charlotte's voice trembled with anger. "I actually thought you had seen the light, and that was why you came here. Instead, you are here dishing out blame. What did you expect me to do? Reject my mate? If it were that easy, why didn't you reject Mom

~Justin~ A year and two months had elapsed, and our investigation had made little progress. It felt like we were trapped in a state of inertia while the criminals either bided their time or plotted something on a grand scale that could overwhelm us when it eventually unfolded. I was at a loss for what to do, yet I clung to a glimmer of hope. Our team had managed to unearth some clues thus far, and I held onto the belief that more pieces of the puzzle would gradually fall into place. Even though we seldom mentioned the Maguires anymore, I couldn't shake my concern and sorrow over our inability to rescue Sophia. The absence of any communication or ransom demands from the criminals left an ominous void. Deep down, we all understood that there was a possibility they had already taken drastic measures. The stagnation we faced made the idea of packing up and leaving Grizlo tempting, lurking in the recesses of my mind. I hadn't signed up to be an Alpha, but given the circumstances, it app
