Sabrina’s PovIt has been two days and several doctors’ visits since the accident, but for some reason, Nevan isn’t convinced that I am fit to walk. Instead, he motions my active times, literally keeping me wrapped in bubble wrap. I wasn’t complaining, or anything, but with how careful he is with me, one would think that I am an egg, too fragile to let loose.“Are you sure that you are up for it? I can understand if you want to stay back,” he whispered, his tone dripping with worry as he stared at me.My hand grabbed his, a soft smile forming on my face at the attention he was giving me, the alpha and their partners were meant to be arriving today and for some reason, Nevan thinks it would be better if I rested my leg than stand to welcome them. Cute, but for me, I wasn’t going to let that happen. I did this, I needed to see how well everything had turned out for me.“I want to.” He stared at me as if he were about to argue. But I was faster, “I did most of the organising, I need to b

Nevan’s PovI looked at the men who sat before me, hoping that I looked like I was actually interested in half of the things that they were talking about. I would like to say that I cared, but well, I couldn’t lie to myself. My mind was on Sabrina, I couldn’t even imagine what she was doing. I forced back a smile when I thought about how fuzzy she had been earlier today. Almost causing a world end just because the clock had stopped at 3 am.“Alpha Nevan, are you listening to us?” Elder Aaron hissed, his glare fixed on me.I fixed my face, straightening my form as I looked at him, matching his intensity, “Of course,” I said in a low tone, warning him to not push it.He scoffed, “If you were, you wouldn’t be agreeing to having the moon fang alpha here,” he hissed, his irritation clearly evident.I stared at the list that was placed on the table, “It is an alpha conclave, if he must, he should.”He didn’t like the answer, I knew that, I could see it in the way his jaw had locked, his gla

Sabrina’s PovI was never a superstitious person. But there are little details to things that always made me feel cautious. “What are you staring at?” Nevan’s voice muttered behind me as he held my shoulders giving me a gentle squeeze.“Today is going to be a bad one,” I whispered, feeling the dread sink in my stomach as I stared at the wall clock that had stopped working at exactly 3 am. ‘the devils hour.” Just like my mother had always said.Nevan sighed, not the sound that comes with frustration, but the one that comes with worry, “Why do you think so? Did one of the vendors flake?” he asked.I shook my head, turning my attention towards him, “You are going to think that I am crazy,” I whispered.His brows furrowed, “crazy? Why?”I looked back at the clock that wasn’t moving, “Look at the time, the clock stopped working at exactly 3 am, you know what that means don’t you?” I asked.He didn’t, I could see it in his eyes, but he was too polite to tell me that I was reaching. That I s

Sabrina’s PovWe had just one week until the alpha’s conclave. The days sound like we had time, but in reality, there was no time. One thing that I have learnt, occasions like this always have something lacking, one wrong arrangement and everything goes a thousand steps backwards.“Madam, I have the art vendors on the line, what time should I tell them?” Isabelle asked, staring at me with a soft look on her face.“An hour…no, two hours before time,” I said, walking away from her as I tried to confirm the seating arrangement. Isabelle was helpful, more helpful than anyone that I have worked with. She made this easy. As if she understood the vision, I had with the seating charts. “A good seat partner does nothing but give the set experience.” She had echoed those words when I said it.“This looks good, can you switch this alpha? They have a land dispute, you don’t want to start a brawl do you,” I said with a smile.“Of course, I didn’t know that.” I didn’t blame her, I had been privy to

Sabrina’s PovIt was easier to read, than actually send the rest of the day thinking about what Mabel’s words meant. But the brain wasn’t one to keep things hidden for long, no matter how many times I tried to avoid it, it always found a way to creep into my mind.The sound of the door creaking caught my attention, my eyes found Nevan, leaning against the doorframe as he smiled at me with gentleness in his eyes. The book dropped on the floor with a loud thud, “How long have you been standing there?”He smiled walking deeper into the room, “Long enough not to know what you aggressively chew your bottom lip when you are thinking,” he said in a low tone, his hands grabbing mine as he slowly brought me to my feet. “How was your day?” he muttered; his eyes fixed on me.Heat crawled up my neck, the intensity of his stare making me feel like I should hide. “Nothing much.” It was a lie. Between things about Mabel, I couldn’t help but wonder what he was doing. “How was your day?” I asked, tryi

Sabrina’s PovThe gloominess of the day didn’t help the thoughts that plagued my brain. I couldn’t stop thinking about Milo and what would happen with the prolonged time we had to be apart. He wasn’t here and there was a part of me that hated every second of it.“Madam, is everything alright?” Isabelle asked, walking into the room with a slight look of concern on her face.I shook my head, trying to put on a brave smile, but with the way her eyes narrowed, I knew she could see through the lies that I was about to say. “I am fine….”Shen moved closer, pulling a chair out as she settled in on it, “If I may,” her voice was low. “I have seen you, watched you even.” She said with a soft smile. “And I know when you are not fine, so I am going to ask again, what is the problem, madam?”I stared at her, what was she going to think of me if I held her? It wasn’t just about the thought, it was the fact that everything she would think of me would be the truth. I was the person, a mother that had

LENNOX A frown morphs its way through Ashford’s facial features and his lips paused into a thin line. “What do you want to talk about?” He asks, looking around my office, like it’s his first time coming over.I heave out a sigh and cross my hands beneath the swell of my breasts. I’m gritting my teeth until he returns his gaze back to me.“What?” His brows deepen. “Why are you staring at me that way? Like you want to eat me for lunch.” A playful smile stretches across his lips.Can he ever be serious?“Did you go to Joshua’s office to see him?” I ask, stepping closer.“Why would I?” Ashford shrugs, making me throw my head backward. He lies so smoothly I am almost convinced he didn’t go to see Joshua.I pin him with a knowing look, making him understand I knew he went to see Joshua and there’s no need lying. “You did, Ashford. Just tell me the truth.”“Okay fine. I went over to his place of work, but I didn’t do anything.” This time, he avoids my gaze so swiftly, it makes me all the mo

LENNOX I’m going through the cash register to track the cash flow in the cafe, when all of a sudden, Nara, in all her goofiness, rushes into the office, panting like she is being chased by a leopard or whatever.I flinch when she stops by my side, trying to catch her breath. My brows pull into a frown. “Are you okay?”“I’m very much okay, but I doubt you will be.” She starts, her eyes darting to the door like if she looks away, a ghost or probably a grim reaper will walk in and snatch her soul.“What? Why?” My brows furrow as confusion swirls in my head.Is she okay?“Liana is here. In your cafe.” Nara digs her fingers into her locks like Liana’s coming means trouble. Which of course, I also knew. “Stay here in your office. I’ll send her away.”I smile as I reach for Nara’s shoulders. “Calm down, Nara. I’ll go talk to my sister.”Before I make a move to leave, Nara holds my wrist, her eyes pleading. “We both know Liana isn’t here to talk. She looks like she wants to tear you apart.”

ASHFORD“The Terras are interested in doing business with you.” Desmond keeps babbling all the way to the car park.I don’t understand why he can’t get the memo that I’m not in any way interested in whatever business he is trying to set up with the Terras.Ever since I got a text from Lennox an hour ago about her ex-boyfriend’s display of foolishness at her cafe, I’ve been having urges to find him and teach him a lesson or two.Funny how I never liked the asshole right from the first day Lennox introduced him as her boyfriend. He looked cocky and arrogant with a touch of stupidity.“Mr. Ashford.” Desmond calls, snapping my attention back to him.For the hundredth time, I hate his babbling so much. “Can you stop talking for a second?” I’m a second away from snapping at him. “This business will be beneficial to the company, Mr. Ashford. You should review their proposal with an open mind.” He never keeps talking.“For the love of heavens, please be quiet, Desmond.” I glare at him over m

LENNOX It’s been two days and all my effort to get in contact with Ashford has been futile. He has never missed my call before, hence, the reason I’m worried.I can’t finish cleaning the cafe for some reason, due to how worried I am. So I sit on one of the chairs, sighing like the weight of the world is on my shoulders.Ashford isn’t one to ignore my calls. This is new. A first time, probably since the beginning of our friendship. And boy oh boy, this man has me worried sick.As I try his line for the tenth time in twenty minutes, my finger subconsciously goes to the ring, swirling it around my finger. I am slowly getting deeper in my spiraling thoughts when my phone rings, startling me.Ashford is finally calling. I waste no time before picking up the call. Phew! “Hi—“ I am about to exchange pleasantries, but Ashford cut me right off, leaving me utterly speechless.“Nox, I’m really sorry for ignoring your calls. I had a client to deal with, hence, the reason my phone is in a silen

LENNOX I am still taken aback by Ashford’s change of expression. At that moment, he looked nothing like the man who is all sunshine and golden retriever. He looked like the devil in suits.“Let’s go downstairs. Your parents are getting worried.” He tugs at my wrist and I snap back to reality.As soon as I nod in agreement, his huge hand wraps around my wrist, leading me downstairs to the dining room.Mom looks tense as she watches us climb down the stairs, the atmosphere not exactly pleasant. Once we settle in our respective seats, Grandma Danny’s gaze falls on me and she flashes me a smile.“Is everything okay, Lennox?” Her voice is soft and soothing, calming every raging nerve in my body.I’m supposed to be mad at Liana for thinking I’m trying to get Joshua jealous by proposing a fake engagement with Ashford.I hated how low she thinks of me.“I’m fine, Granny. Ashford made sure I’m okay.” I reassure her with a smile.Liana scoffs, glaring at me like I am the bane of her existence

LENNOX“You don’t have to do this, Ashford. I can just make up a lie for my Mom.” I turn to Ashford, whose eyes are fixed on the road, his forearms flexing like a gym instructor.“We are already here, Nox. I’m sorry for putting you in this mess.” He sounds apologetic as he pulls into the garage.We both get out of the car, and just like two days ago, Joshua’s Aston Martin is in the garage. It seems Liana brought it again.“Liana is here.” I blurt out and Ashford’s gaze falls on the car.“Is that the bastard’s car?” His jaw tightens as he glares at the car, willing it to disappear. “Ugly-ass car.”A chuckle spills out of my mouth at the distaste in his words. “Calm down, Ashford. If anything happens to the car, you’d be my number one suspect.”“I don’t mind destroying it.” He reaches my side and snakes his huge hand around my waist.I freeze for a second before adjusting to his hand around my waist. “Taking your job as my fake Fiancé seriously, aren’t you?” I smirk playfully.Ashford s
