Thank you all for bearing with me. My eye is healed, and my glasses finally arrived. We will be resuming all three books today, with Puppy Love's update going up tomorrow. Updates will be as usual, with the exception of Wednesdays and Saturdays to catch up with my assignments as I am furthering my education. Thank you for being patient.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Lauren The attack had brought me great misfortune, and even though I tried to mask it so Xavier wouldn't punish himself any more than he already had, I failed woefully. I thought I had caught a break and was on my way up. Stonegate changing their mind broke my heart, and when Uclea decided that they would cancel the interview altogether, it shattered my heart. I knew it had everything to do with the news and the public attention Xavier and I had been getting. No one wanted unnecessary attention. I would lie if I said this whole Isabella thing did not mess things up. Even though it had brought me blessings and I had discovered a world I was oblivious to, it had also taken from me. I was financially in the red, so keeping my apartment would be challenging. I knew Xavier had offered that I come to work for him, but wouldn't that confirm that I am a sponge and can't do anything for myself without him? I did not know how these things worked or if they would last, but I knew I had to
Lauren Xavier did not return from work until late in the night. I was fast asleep when he entered, but his movements had woken me up from my slumber. I had waited for him so we could discuss the offer letter I had received from the Human resources department of his company, but he did not return home. Not wanting to be a pest, I had decided not to call, knowing the whole intruder issue and the fact that there were some sneaky hunters after him was taking a toll on him. I decided to give him space and time to sort things out. I gently sat up in bed. I had a slight headache thanks to the whiskey that I drank. Luckily for me, I had aspirin, so I opted to take some. I got off the bed and went to the bathroom to check the medicine cabinet. Xavier was still in the closet. Judging by the state of the bathroom, I could tell he had showered already. I took some aspirin and returned to the room. Xavier was still in the closet. I knew by now he knew I was awake because he had super hea
Xavier In the morning, I rolled out of bed while Lauren remained peacefully lost in her dreams. A faint snore suggested that she was enjoying a well-deserved night's rest. Perhaps I had pushed the limits a bit too far last night, but my need for her and my desire for her to accept the job was strong. I wrestled with the temptation to wake her and assert my dominance once more, but there were urgent matters demanding my attention, and they couldn't be handled within the confines of my home. Heading toward the bathroom, I decided that Jax and I would have to be patient and wait for our time with Lauren. I hurriedly dressed and set my phone to vibrate to avoid any intrusive calls. I was anticipating Gilbert's call, but so far, there had been no word from him. The events of the previous night had led to casualties, and I couldn't be certain if it had attracted unwanted attention. I knew it was only a matter of time before the hunters began to close in on me. I needed to devise a plan to
Xavier We departed from the house, and I sat in the backseat with our captive while Soren took the wheel. Our destination was the interrogation bunker located on the outskirts of Riverbend. I was eager to engage Neil in conversation, as I couldn't shake the suspicion that he might be the one responsible for the attack on Lauren that fateful night. Thankfully the bunker had cameras and we were going to record his confession. "I did nothing wrong. People are fed up with you trying to disrupt our lives over women. Someone has to take a stand," he argued as we drove, but I remained silent. "An alpha should have his priorities straight, Xavier. You clearly don't," he continued. "First, you fuck a rogue bitch, and now that gold-digging human slut. You fucked my sister over for that piece of shit. The Havenwoods will never support your leadership as Alpha, and when you bring me before the committee, you'll see just how powerless you are," he declared, and his final statement prompted bot
Xavier Soren and I left Neil to get acquainted with his new room. He wasn't getting out. I believe he sort of figured it out, and he had no reason to plead. He had orchestrated something that would have gone badly for my wife; there was no mercy for that, but I was grateful for the information he divulged. "So what are we going to do about everything?" Soren asked me while driving back to the city. "One thing at a time. We go home and rest, and then we get Everett tomorrow. I want you and Levi to pick him up tomorrow and lock him up. I want to deal with him personally. I have something special planned for the bastard." I said, and he chuckled. "There is a lot of shit going on right now, and you know what troubles me the most," he said and looked at me for a second before returning his attention to the road. "What?" I asked him. "We are yet to know how that bitch fits into the puzzle or who the fuck she is. Jacob is yet to figure her out. She is like a ghost." He said, and I knew
Xavier I woke up early in the morning and got ready for the office. Gilbert and my father were going to meet me there by eight, and I did not want to be late. After dressing up, I looked at Lauren. She was naked, tangled in the sheets, and she looked pretty with her hair sprawled on the pillow. We had a long night, and I might have overdone it. There was no point pretending. She brought out the beast in me, and I was willing and ready to oblige. I sat on the bed and bent close to kiss her on the lips. She stirred in her sleep but did not wake up. She was mine, and I didn't want to think of what divided us. All I could do was appreciate here and now while I tried to solve the danger that loomed over us. I couldn't wait for her blackeye to clear so she could join me to work every morning. It would be great to see Lauren in her element. She studied Business Administration and will balance my economics knowledge perfectly well. I left her a note letting her know I wa
Xavier I stepped out of the elevator in a hurry. Walking straight ahead, I refused to look at anyone. My blood was rushing through my veins, my wolf was unstable, and my heart was beating fast. Isabella had a good plan but underestimated my control and quick thinking. What had happened in the Remington happened because my guard was down. I thought she was a helpless single woman needing my help, but she had shown herself, and I wasn't a fool anymore. I made sure I maintained a calm exterior and looked unphased by the situation. I was sure no one knew what had happened other than the security personnel in my office doing goddess-knows-what with she-wolf on heat. As for the head of security who came to work late and the security officers who let her in, they wouldn't get sacked. I planned to make an example of them. I stood outside and signalled the parking valet to bring my car. I had set the meeting with my father and Gilbert at a tiny guest house I had purchased two years ago
Xavier I left my house feeling light and happy. It was a good idea to go home. I doubted I would have been able to function otherwise. My father had given me six missed calls, and the new intern who was filling in as my secretary had called me three times, too. I wondered what the issue was. Knowing that my father was likely calling to complain about keeping him waiting, I decided to call my secretary's desk. "Mr Blackwoods Office, who is peaking, please," the intern answered. She was a bit rusty, but it was better than the useless secretary who did not do her work. "You called three times. What do you want?" I asked, and she gasped. "Sorry, Alpha. I did not know it was you. Your number isn't registered on this phone," She explained, and I excused her. "Get straight to the point," I said, sounding impatient. "Ehm, I do not know how to say this," She started, and I knew what she would say, but I waited. "Say it as it is. Speaking the truth isn't a crime, neither is describing a s
