Horace’s POV

The look on their faces - that was enough satisfaction for the night. After placing Elena carefully into the limousine, I walked over to the other end. The chauffeur got the door, and as soon as I walked in, Elena burst out laughing.

“Did you see the look on their faces?!” she said, amidst laughter.

“The jealousy was tangible.”

I smiled, saying nothing. There was a warmth that came with her laughter, and I revelled in the moment, seeing her so carefree and loose.

“And you played your part so well. You were all lovey dovey and…”

“I wasn't acting”, I said, staring intensely into her eyes. “You deserve to feel and be treated like that ten times over.”

She stopped laughing, staring back into my blue eyes. Her eyes glittered in the night, those hazel brown beauties that had the sharpest shade that I'd ever seen on a beautiful woman like her. Goodness, my wolf wanted to rip that red dress apart, the sequins making her even more appealing. I leaned in, and when she leaned even c

    Horace’s POVI opened my eyes quickly, turning to the body beside me.I was met with silence, but not the peaceful kind. It was wrong, eerie in fact. My heart thudded as I ran my eyes over her body. Her skin looked washed off its normal color, lips faint, and lashes trembling as if even sleep was too unbearable for her. “Elena,” I murmured beside her ear. “Baby?”Her lashes fluttered open, and then she lurched.I jumped out of bed in an instant, catching her hair as she leaned over the edge, body heaving violently.But there was barely anything to come up. She sagged once it passed, trembling.She looked so weak, and the sight made my heart twist painfully.“I’ve got you,” I said, patting her back gently.“I’ve got you, baby,” I repeated.“I’m fine.” She mumbled.But she wasn’t.My wolf purred under my skin, uneasy and growling low.“'Cause you’re not going to work today.” I said.She tried to set up, preparing to argue.“I’ve got rounds, Horace. I’ve been missing too much. I just

    Vivienne’s POVI barged into my room, feeling my head spin.I began pacing back and forth in the middle of the room. Confused. The heels of my shoes struck the floor in sharp, angry sounds.The officer's words kept replaying in my head.What did they mean by my name was amongst those Elena sent money to.An accomplice.That was just impossible. We created it all. Victor and I. So how in the hell did my name turn up in a search like that?I stopped in the middle of my room abruptly, my hand falling on the table beside me.“What in the hell is going on?” I whispered in the empty room. How? Just how could this happen?I didn’t want to admit it, but at that moment, a bit of fear had begun to creep in on me.Several thoughts crossed my mind. The worst being that someone was onto us and found a way to add my name to the list just to teach me a lesson.But again, that had to be impossible. Only Victor and I were aware of our plans.Just then, the door pushed open quietly, and in walked Vict

    Horace’s POVI stood by the main door, watching as the guards escorted the police towards their car before making my way back up to the bedroom.When I got in, I saw her looking spaced out on the bed, and I was so pissed to see her like that. I just wanted to find the bastard who was behind everything and teach them a lesson myself.You could mess with me in any way and even get away with it because I wouldn’t care, but coming after my family, my pregnant wife, was the absolute height of madness. And no one got away with that height of madness from me.“Elena.”She turned, got up, and ran into my arms immediately.“Hey, hey, I’m right here, okay. You’re fine. Nothing is going to happen to you, you’re fine with me.”“Oh, Horace, I should’ve listened to you. I shouldn’t have done that silly interview; it only ended up messing with me more.”After a while of locking her in my arms, I pulled back a little, cupping her face in my hands.“Hey, look at me, no regrets, okay. You did what you

    Elena’s POV“We received financial evidence indicating a significant amount of money that was directed from the central medical account to a private account that was linked back to you.”The chief said, and right then, I wondered if I should have listened to Horace. I thought I was prepared but listening to them say those words to me was deeply hurtful and unsettling.I shook my head. “That’s impossible. At least not for me. I have no idea how that even happened. And I have no private bank overseas where I divert money into.”“I believe you. I mean, it is even crazy that these officers would try to link this to you.” Vivienne jumped in quickly, squeezing my hand.I was grateful she was beside me.“We believe you, Luna, but right now we are at a crossroads.”“What do you mean by that?”“We actually received this report a few months back.”My breath caught. “What? What do you mean by "you received this report a few months back?”“Exactly, Luna. The report was mailed to us, accusing you

    Vivienne’s POVI walked beside her slowly as we made our way to the guest living room, where the police officers were already waiting.I could feel the tension in the air, which made my heart flutter more.She looked pale and swollen with stress, and one could easily tell that she had probably spent all night thinking about the whole case.I touched her shoulder gently in a comforting manner. “Don’t worry, I’m here for you. You don’t have to let it get to you, okay. Think about the baby, about your son, Ethan. Everything will be fine. It’s not like the alpha will sit back and let them go crazy.”She sighed, giving me a weak, grateful smile.“It’s not even any of that I’m worried about.”“So what is it?”“I just can’t seem to wrap my head around it. There is something deeper at play here, I know it, but I can’t seem to pinpoint it down to what or who it could be.”Hmmm. At that moment, I wondered if my name had crossed her mind. Then I realized I really had been so stupid with my earl

    Horace’s POV“Whoever did this, I am going to find them and handle it, okay. So I want you to stop worrying.”I said to her as I tried to hold her close. She let me, but her mind wasn’t even there, which I understood perfectly.I was pissed, and I couldn’t understand where those accusations were even coming from.After she left the hall, someone walked up to me with a phone and showed me the news, and that was when I understood why she was acting a certain way.My jaw tightened because I knew the matter was definitely deeper than we were seeing, and I couldn’t help but wonder if someone was pulling strings behind the scenes.I mean, I knew my wife, and it was no question that the news going around was definitely a lie, but the question was who? Who would ever do something like that?“Horace, I can’t believe any of this. Who would accuse me of diverting hospital funds and signing off on expired drugs?”“Someone who is out to get you for no reason because you don’t even sign up for dr
