Tessa“Do you need any help, love?”“No, it’s almost done. Please, go and check if the kids are still clean. Everyone must be coming. Go hurry up.” I tilted my head slightly to glance at my husband while grilling fish. The spicy smoke filled the kitchen.“The kids are clean and busy among themselves, besides, Lucas can take care of his younger siblings. I would rather take care of my pretty wife here.” He said and dabbed my sweaty face with towel.“You helped me to cook half of the food, Logan. Please, go and shower. I’ll be finish in ten minutes.” I smiled.He snaked his arms around my waist from behind and nuzzled his nose in the crook of my neck.“I can wait so we’ll shower together to save time and water, Mrs. Wilferd.” He whispered.My stomach flipped but I slowly freed myself from his embrace.“As much as the idea sounds perfectly romantic, I fear we can’t bath together because the we won’t be able to finish it on time and our guests are on their way here.” I pecked his cheek.H

[ Logan ]“Logan, what brings you at my home early in the morning? Is everything okay?”“Yes, kids and Tessa are good since our biggest threat is behind the bars now. Can we sit first, Mr. Mcnight?”“Oh, please, take a seat. I’ll ask the maid to prepare coffee for us.” He smiled.I sat down comfortably.Adrian, whom I visited early in the morning was still in his nightrobe. He looked puzzled to see me at his house, unannounced. He wasn’t prepared.He came back changed into presentable clothes.“Tell me what brings you here at this hour, Logan? I know you. You wouldn’t be wasting your time here if it’s not urgent.” He said taking a sip from his steaming coffee.“Yes, it couldn’t wait so let me cut the chase and come to the point but first I want you to enjoy your last cup of home brewed coffee because in prison, I don’t think you’ll savour this richness.” I sipped my own coffee with leisure but the reaction on his face satisfied me more.“Logan Wilferd, if you are here to argue with me

Logan “You tried to kill my wife and you know the consequences very well, Raelynn. I will make sure you won’ come out of the prison for a long time.” I spoke calmly.The woman sitting in front of me laughed, her face showed no remorse.“Then make sure I won’t come out until my death, Logan because once I leave this fucking hell, I will destroy you and your little world.” She said in a bitter tone.I clenched my fists. It was clear that she wasn’t in her right state of mind and a mental asylum, would be much better place for her.“I am not here to entertain you, Ms. Cowper. I only need the name of the person who is helping you. I want the name.” I said leaning closer.She sat across the table.“You’re a rich and influential man. It’s a child’s play for you to dig the truth. Go and find out yourself.” She laughed again.“You’re right. It might take time but I will find out the truth but trust me, your life is going to be a hell after the trial.” I warned her.“I have nothing to lose, L

Logan“How are you feeling now, love?” I asked Tessa who was awake.“My head feels heavy but other than that I want to go home because I miss my kids.” She replied with a pouted as I fed her chicken and oats porridge.Luckily, the injury wasn’t serious and there were no issues with her brain. The swelling was reducing.“You’ll be discharged tomorrow. So, be patient for one more night.” I said and wiped her lips.“Lena’s birthday should have been memorable but it turned into a bad memory.” Her voice was sad.“Hey, look at me. Why are you feeling stressed? It was Raelynn, the psychopath who did it and now she is under police custody. My lawyers are preparing a serious lawsuit against her.” I told her.She smiled faintly.“I still can’t believe how she entered our house. I am sure someone helped her. Someone close to us who knew the security details.” She said.I narrowed my eyes because her words made sense.“Could it be my sister or mother because they are the only two persons who want

LoganTessa was gone into the house for two long. I waited and smiled at the guests because I didn’t want them to whisper and gossip as it was my daughter’s most special day and I wanted to make it memorable for her.But it took Tessa more than ten minutes. She told me about her mother’s necklace. She kept it in her cupboard.Something inside me nudged me to go and check upon her. Although, we had checked the security many times and guest list was filtered by my security team yet we could be careless, especially when my family had been targeted many times.“Dad, manage the guests and kids here. I am going to check upon Tessa.” I whispered to my father.“Sure, go and get her because Lena is getting impatient.” He said with a nod.I made my way inside the house which was quiet since Tessa called the security guards during the cake cutting. She cared for everyone.“Tess?” I called her but no response came so I directly went to her room where she kept most of her stuffs.I slowly pushed t

Tessa“Happy birthday, my little sunshine.”“Happy birthday, princess.”Both I and Logan kissed our daughter’s hairs as we woke her up. She yawned and then gave us her priceless smile.“Thank you, Mamma, Daddy.” She sat up and crawled on my lap first which surprised me because ever since Logan came back into our lives, she had been her Daddy’s princess.“Mamma, where is my gift?” She asked burying her face on my chest and I affectionately stroked my daughter’s hairs.“You will receive your gift at evening. Be patient, sunshine.” I kissed her cheeks and tickled her.“Mamma, stop.” She laughed and rolled to her father’s lap.“Have you prepared the gifts for your new friends as well?” Logan asked her.In less than a week’s time, she became very popular in her kindergarten and everybody adored her.“Yes, Daddy. I and Mamma wrapped all the gifts last night.” She told him.She still looked sleepy.“Come on, Lenny. Let me give you a bath. Remember, we have to go to church to day to pray.” I

[ Stephen ]“I hope Tiffany is doing good now.” Brandon said.We were sitting down at the poolside in his house, enjoying beer.“Tiffany is doing better than before. She is happy with kids around her. But I can’t get hold of Tristan. He had been quiet since her accident. I thought he’d try to contact her but no, he didn’t.” I said.“Stephen, you are confusing me. Do you want him to see Tiff?” He asked with a frown.“I’d never allow him anywhere near my sister.” I said with clenched jaws, “I just have a feeling that they’re in touch with each other, just a wild guess because Tiffany looks lost and she hasn’t said a word to us.”“Hmm, let’s give her some time. Maybe, she’ll open up after some time. We’re keeping a close watch on Tristan. If he tries something, at least, we can stop him.” He said.Talking to Brandon helps my mind to calm down.“Tomorrow is Vivienne’s first scan. You have to bring her to the hospital because the tests can only be done at the hospital.” He reminded me and

[ Olivia ]“Oh, please, faster…”I moaned out loudly as my husband thrusted deeper and faster inside me. My back arched as pleasure shot through my body cells. He wasn’t gentle and I didn’t want him to go soft either. It had been after months since we were drowning ourselves in physical pleasure.“Fuck! You’re so amazing, baby girl.’ He groaned and suddenly withdrew himself.The sudden emptiness made me wince and also felt frustrated.“Stephen Hamilton!” I glared him.“Be patient, Olivia Hamilton.” He smirked and with a swift moment, he flipped me on my stomach, “On your knees.” He commanded me.I folded my knees, my front pasted on the soft mattress. His firm hands gripped my hips and again, he penetrated inside me from behind.“Oh, Stephen!” I screamed as the new position touched my G-spot and it became hard for me to refrain myself from moaning loudly.The fraction between our flesh filled the steamy room. His hands massaged my ass and moved to my breasts, he was pleasuring me in a

[ Stephen ]“How are you feeling now?”My heart pained seeing my younger sister covered in bandage, her face pale and swollen. I couldn’t hold back my tears.“Terrible.” She whispered in barely audible tone.“How could you not see an approaching vehicle, Tiff? What if someone terrible had happened to you?” I stroked her hairs.Her eyes were staring at me blankly. They were full of pain and something deeper that I couldn’t comprehend.“I think we should let her rest, Steph. She has survived a major accident and came back to us. We shouldn’t bother her much.” Olivia spoke, her own eyes were teary.“Get well soon, my little sister.” I said.“Tiffany, we’re outside, if you need anything, just call me, hmm.” Olivia said to her and my sister only stared at us, her eyes depicting pain as if she wanted to say something but chose silence over words.Once we walked out of the private ward where my sister was admitted, I slumped down on the visitor’s sofa and rested my head in between my hands.

[ Third Person’s POV ]“I have waited for three freaking months, no, I have waited for over five years but my patience is waning. I don’t think I can wait any longer.”“Tristan, please, try to understand. I know you’re in pain and trust me I feel the same pain. I am also suffering. There isn’t a day when I don’t want to run into your arms and be with you forever but you know my brother better than I do.”A desperate Tiffany pleaded her lover in a hope that he could see how much she was suffering.“Your brother is the reason why we got separated on the first place, Tiff.” He slowly loosened her arms which were wrapped around him.“Please, don’t say this. I love you both and it pains me to see how you had Stephen fought over a deal. I know my brother and I know you as well. You both can never hate each other to this extent. Please, for us, try to break the ice with him.” Tiffany requested her love in a weak voice.Tristan stared at her blankly for a moment and then burst into laughter b

[ Stephen ]“Any updates on Tristan Quinn?” Olivia asked me.“Let’s celebrate the evening together and focus on our victory, Livy. This is our hard work and you’re spoiling our mood by mentioning unpleasant people.” I gave her a complaining look.“Sorry, my love but throughout the event, I was thinking about him because somewhere, I feared that he might create problems for us.” She said.“He’d not dare to meddle in my business, Livy. He knows that messing up with me means I’ll leave him on the streets to beg.” I said.“I know you are the smartest businessman, my love and I can’t wait to work under your guidance once again.” She grinned and leaned on my shoulder.We were driving through the city lanes after the bidding event and a follow up party to celebrate the smooth conclusion of months’ process, meetings which also came with Ethan Greyson’s scandal.I had the legal agreement sitting on Olivia’s lap who was the star of the evening.“Our daughters must be waiting for us but you’re d

[ Olivia ]“What? Rebecca is pregnant?” I exclaimed not believing on what I heard from my husband.Stephen shook his head, “And he proposes a marriage of compromise which she rejected.” He added.“Well, as much as it’s quite complicated to process and it must be dealt with caution, I actually don’t disagree with Rebecca. I mean parenting and marriage are two different things even though they coexist. They can settle on coparenting if marriage isn’t acceptable by her.” I put my opinion.I was resting my head on Stephen’s chest and he was playing with my fingers on the terrace canopy.“I told him the same thing but men and their pride are sometimes difficult. I hope Brand tries to understand her situation and talk it out nicely. I don’t want their baby to become a reason of conflict. They both are mature adults.” He said, his voice had an edge.“You’re also an adult.” I said lifting my head to tease him.“Olivia Hamilton, I am not dumb. I know what are you insinuating at? Mine circumsta

[ Cassandra ]Having dinner with Amelia Croft was one of its own test. She kept bringing Cassandra and her past. Telling me how much she missed her sister and she still regrets how Cassandra left because she felt insecure.All of it was a lie but what made me feel more bitter, it was Dominic’s silence.He stayed quiet while she boasted how she wanted everyone to live together in harmony. She would give Cassandra a respectable place in the council.She lied smoothly, it was reflected in her words but he didn’t stop her from bragging.“I am full. I need to get back home now.” I said.“Dr. Miller, you barely touched anything. Don’t you like the food here?” Amelia eyed the plates.“I don’t eat much for supper, Ms. Croft. Thank you for the dinner. I’ll get to go now. You can enjoy your time.” I said and rose from my seat.“We’re also done. Let’s go. We’re going in the same way.” Dominic said.He spoke very less during the dinner.“No, thanks, Alpha. Dustin is waiting outside. He wasted for

[ Cassandra ]“Cassie, think again. I know you are reborn. I mean a new woman in the same body but those people are same. Amelia’s soul is still the same evil. She hasn’t invited you for a friendly dinner and you know this.” Ellie, who was tailing behind me, said the same thing for the countless time.“I know, Ellie. She wants to push me to my edge. She thinks I have feelings for Dominic. She has played this game before. Last time, I was yearning for his love and he chose her. This time, it’s useless. She can have him.” I smiled and checked my appearance in the mirror.I intentionally picked a fitted cream coloured dress, it wasn’t revealing but it did justice to my body curves. I loosely curled my shoulder length hairs and did bold makeup for a simple dinner.I remembered the time when Dominic used to take both me and Amelia. She used to tag me along only to humiliate me and acted innocent. I was too blind to see her true colours and thought I was thw one who lacks the confidence and

[ Dominic ]“If he’ll be here, I don’t think as an alpha I can talk to you, Father.” I flatly rejected my father’s request.“Dominic, this is a family matter. Here, you are my son.” My father took a deep breath and then continued while my eyes were throwing daggers at Lucian who stood in a corner with a smug smirk on his face.“No, I still refuse because he isn’t a family.” I added, it was too harsh but Lucian chose his side and abandoned the family when we needed him the most.“Dom, please, he’s your dead aunt’s son.” My grandmother’s voice was low. As a grandmother, she still had soft corner for him.“It’s fine, Madam Woodford, I am an outsider for this family. I was never a part of this family. You raised me because you had liability towards my mother.” Lucian said.His words were cold yet somehow true. My parents only treated him as a liability and never really bothered to give him some affection. My mother was actually expressive with her disliking for Lucian as he was a challeng

[ Dominic ]All my way to my parents’ house, my mind kept drifting off to Dr. Miller’s calm composure. She looked a bit fierce in her initial conversation with Amelia but she easily agreed to Amelia’s offer for a dinner.My mind was telling that there was another reason why she agreed to dine with me and Amelia.Why I was getting so worked up?“Dom, we’re here.” Amelia tucked my elbow and I hadn’t realized that I was completely zoned out during twenty minutes’ drive to my parents’ house.They live on the opposite side of the pack where mostly retired high rank wolves live with all luxury and scenic beauty.“Remember, we’re not here for a family get together. Lucian is here and I only want him to drive out of my family’s house. He can’t be trusted.” I said.“I get it, Dom.” She linked our arms again much to my own discomfort but I couldn’t push her because I can’t damage our reputation in public eye.Together, we walked into my parents’ grand manor. It was a perfect specimen of a vint

[ Dominic ]I was writing a personal letter to the alpha in whose territory people claimed to see Cassandra for the last time. I want to go to the bottom of this.If Cassandra is still alive then I don’t have to go far.There are many similarities between her and Dr. Miller and it can’t be just coincidence.During my last visit, he didn’t spill much but I knew someone made him seal his lips.“Alpha, Lucian again went after Dr. Miller.”Dustin’s words forced me to stop scribbling on the paper and my face shot up.“What exactly did he do?” I asked clutching the pen tightly.“She went for running and he followed after her. They talked in the meadows. I don’t know what kind of conversation it was. Her expressions were not of fear or anger.” He told me.“So, they shared an intimate kind of conversation, I guess.” I rather said this to myself.Becca Miller was free to talk to anyone. I have no right to interfere or interrogate her but why this uneasy feeling made me twist on my seat.“Where

[ Cassandra ]Dominic helped me to reach my room. His words kept resonating in my ears. So, he doesn’t stop doubting me. The way those suspicious eyes kept staring at me and asked me questions that really made me spellbound.Whole night I tossed and twisted on the bed but my mind was stuck in the same conflict.Around five in the morning when I felt like I could no longer stay in bed, I decided to go for jogging. Dominic had given me strict instructions but I cared less for them because the pack was nothing less than a guarded fortress.The medicines that Dominic gave me, it worked miraculously and I felt no more pain. Putting on my jogging shoes, I silently exited the packhouse.It was still dark outside but I could hear wolves at the training ground and guards at each corner.Avoiding to go where young wolves were training, probably naked. I made my way towards the narrow path which led to the steep meadows. The terrain was friendly for wolfless like me.The crisp morning air helped

[ Isabella ]The pain I supressed for years, resurfaced with such a force that for a few moments, I couldn’t speak or blink my eyes.Christopher was standing right in front of me.The warmth in those eyes was gone. All I could see was sheer coldness, no emotions, not even hatred that could help me to guess what he felt about me.“Celeste!”Suddenly, he roared and it made me flinch in fear. His jaws were clenched tightly.“Chris, for God’s sake. Don’t shout or you will give me a heart attack.” She came outside pressing a hand on her chest but when she saw me, she understood her brother’s outburst.“Oh, Bella. Please, come. I was waiting for you.” She passed me a nervous smile.“I don’t need a nanny for my kids. Please, tell this lady to leave.” Christoher said in a flat tone and his aloofness hurt me.It sliced my heart but he had all the right to feel that way.“Chris, what are you saying? You know if twins approve someone it means they like that person and feel safe around them. Plea

[ Christopher ]“Sir, these reports are sent by the HR department. They look promising. We can expand our business in South-East Asia. Our partners there have been waiting for your response. Shall I fix a meeting with them today?”My secretory, Nancy explained me the reports and also asked for my permission for my ambitious project.I put off my glasses and rubbed my temples. I work tirelessly nowadays to take my company on a new height. It is my only aim in my life. I can’t disappoint my mother but I also feel torn apart between my responsibilities.“No, Nancy, not today. I am going home to spend some time with my kids because then we won’t have time as we need to fly for Ottava.” I said and she nodded in agreement.I leaned back on my chair and took a deep breath. I wish I could run away from here for some time and find the solitude which had left me years ago. I tried to fill the void but it’s still there.“Chris, why are you overworking yourself? I heard from Nancy that you cancel

Five years later…[ Isabella ]“God! What am I supposed to do now? It was the tenth interview that I failed.” I clutched my hairs in frustration.“Hey, chill. There are still three companies who are hiring freshers. You can try your luck there.”Windy, the waitress in my favourite café tried to cheer me up by placing my favourite chocolate mousse cake in front of me.“Thanks, Windy but I can’t help this low feeling and rejections. They won’t help me to pay my bills. My landlord will throw me out of my apartment very soon if I don’t pay my three months’ rent.” I shared my predicament with her.I was fired from my last job. I worked in a hotel as assistant manager, the salary was good since my grades both at college and university but one day, I was told that they replaced me with someone.It was one on the recommendation of a rich family.Although I had potential and I worked really hard but everything is useless.“Stay positive. You know you’re always welcome to come here to work wit

[ Isabella Primrose ]“We have done a good job. Our seniors are enjoying the party, guys.” Celeste cheered up with a bottle of beer. The party was at full swing. I tried my best to get myself engaged in the preparations and avoided coming across Christopher who was with his friends but I could feel his gaze on me.“Bella, you’re looking lost. If I was in your place, I’d not waste time here but jump on the hottest guy’s lap who is your boyfriend. Go and have fun with Christopher. Make this night memorable for him.” My friends teased me and Celeste laughed.“My poor brother. His eyes are only on his lady. I bet he’s dying from inside to collect Bella in his arms.” Celeste said proudly.My eyes stung with tears. This party might be the end of our friendship as well. Celeste had been my best friend for years.She supported me every time I needed her by my side. I’ll lose both my true love and a pure friendship.“Excuse me. I’ll come back.”I excused myself from there and searched for Chri

[ Isabella Primrose ]“How much do you need to leave my son? State your price and it’ll be transferred into your account before you leave this house, Miss Primrose.” Mrs. Lydia Salvatore spoke in her refined manner.Mrs. Lydia Salvatore, my fiancé’s mother invited me to their house just to give me the biggest shock of my life.The woman screamed of regal aura, someone who had strings of the rich class, the woman who was the face of Salvatore’s business. Someone no one dared to cross paths with.And she was the mother of my fiancé.“My time is precious, girl and you already wasted two minutes in standing like a mute statue.” She broke the silence, her tone slightly annoyed this time.“I don’t understand what you just said, Ma’am.” I lowered my head to fight back my tears.It was our first meeting in person after Christopher proposed me on the last day of our college.“I hate to repeated my words but it involves my only son’s future so I am saying it again.” She lifted her champaign flu
