Hayden povWhen I arrived at the prison, I could not believe what my eyes were seeing—two dead bodies and my guards, who were looking guilty. Lucien was looking at me like I was going to explode, and truly, I was close to exploding. Someone was in my pack, doing as they wanted, poisoning my twins and killing two people in my dungeon.I took two steps towards Melinda, whom I left in charge since I sent Lucien to go do something, and the rest to my house and the seer's, She backed away from the wall, but she did not say a word because she knew that begging me would piss me off."Talk," I commanded."I kept torturing them, then the lights started having problems, and I was still trying to know what happened when one of the girls started panicking. I called for water, and a guard gave it to me, but then there were some snacks on the table that had a note that said dinner, and because we were hungry. I took a bite, and so did the rest of the men, and then my eyes sta
Hayden PovI hated feeling like this; I was always in charge of everything happening around me, but somehow in just two days I had not felt like that. First, it was the poisoning of the twins; now it was killing two suspects from my dungeon, but it was not just that; this person could infiltrate my cameras, go into my house, and do all that, yet I did not know who the person was. I was feeling incompetent, which was an emotion I hardly associated myself with. I needed to find out who the person was before he tried anything again; this time, he might even decide to go after my mate too.My phone started to ring, and I grabbed it. Checking to see if it was a business call because I was not in the right frame of mind to be talking about business, I might tell someone off if they said something stupid and lose money, but it was my mate, Lex, who was mad at me and blamed me for what happened."Hello Lex," I said sweetly, but I heard her hiss."Aren't you done w
"That's a lie; I want you, and I love you," he replied, then kissed my hair while I kept trying to swat out my tears. I was ruining his shirt, but he did not seem to mind.He just kept clutching me and rubbing my back, making me feel a bit good, but then I heard the door close, but I was too hurt to find out who it was. "I don't doubt it because a witch we saw on the road a long time ago called me Healer, but I did not understand what she was saying, and now I am being told the same thing: How can she do this to me?" I lamented while batting tears."Let it all out. Stop holding back," he told me, and then I remembered what he did.He was one of the people who did not want me, at least not outside the bedroom, so I pushed him off."What?" He asked trying to draw me close but grabbed my hand back."Sorry for ruining your shirt; I don't have any money that isn't yours, but I will make sure to buy you the same one when I go shopping," I said, then turned to where Heaven was sitting, but
"Thank you for saving my boys; thank you for everything," I said, hugging Heaven.She smiled and said, "I did not save them; the moon goddess did. I will send you other books I have on the white witches as soon as I get back.""Thank you so much. I feel so indebted to you. Please take the check."She shook her head. "No, I did not solve all of your problems; I only saved the twins. Although I wanted to, the moon goddess wants you to solve it yourselves.""What you did was the most important one. I would have died without my twins, but thankfully you brought them back to me. So take it," I said, and I tried to shove the check into her hand, but she grabbed her hand back."No, sorry, I cannot take it. You have already taken care of me, and I enjoyed my stay in your pack. I cannot take more from you," she replied."Don't you take money from other people? So why is ours different?""Well, yours is different because I did not get all the work done," she replied.We have been arguing about
When we reached back home, I opened the door a bit and took a peek, claire was running around with the twins while Lucas sat on the chair looking at them."Come join us, grumpy ass," Claire taunted, then slapped her mouth."Don't say that, baby; that is a bad word," she told Lily, and Lucien started laughing."I see you guys are having a good time," I said and moved in. Hayden got in too, and sat down opposite Lucien then started discussing with him.Elijah and Lily ran to me, and I hugged them immediately."Thank you for looking after them", I said and she smiled."That isn't going to save you from me, how could you not tell me I was busy making dishes in Lucien's house while my babies were poisoned?"Didn't Lucien tell you?"She shook her head. "No, he did not. He gave me the excuse that he did not want to worry me, but I am still going to get him for that. Now tell me everything that happened from the beginning, or I will shave your head off.""No need to threaten me; I need someon
"Lex, you will be late if you keep wasting time." I heard Hayden scream, and I rolled my eyes."I am not playing around; I am redoing my makeup; this one is starting to sweat," I said, but if anybody who knew me well heard my voice, they would know that I was lying.I was nervous. Alpha Joe, who was rarely home, had come back two days ago and said that he was going to be at my Luna training today. On the last day of the training, you are allowed to invite people if you want because it was mostly doing the last task and reviewing the past results.I was sure that Hayden had told him about me being a healer because he came in with some books on the white healers and told me that his father got them. I wanted to bite his head off for telling his father about me, but then I realized that he was still his father despite everything.It has also been two days since I read the book on white healers. It narrated my family as a sort of special being that can heal almost everything, even if it i
"You look nervous," Hayden whispered."No, I don't. Why will I be nervous about your father, My Alpha?"He scoffed, "Your Alpha is me, not my father. And don't be nervous; anyone that wants to get to you will have to go through me, but I doubt that the reason he called us is to cause trouble."I nodded, but that did not stop me from thinking about it, wondering why he invited us to his house and why he kept looking at my stomach when I was coming with Hayden."We did not tell Josh and Peter that we had gone home. Do you think they will still be there waiting for us?"He shook his head. "I mind-linked them to take some hours off, and Josh was happy about it."I smiled. "He should be; his mother is there, so he gets to go home with her."The elevator stopped, the door opened, and then we got out. There was no guard in front of his door, and when Hayden pulled at the handle, it turned, and the door was open."He has no guard, and his door is not locked," I whispered to Hayden."My father
"What the hell are you doing? I thought you wanted babies." I asked looking at his open mouth.He held his heart. "It's just... just... that I am so happy." He finished and started laughing."Excuse me?""I am so happy; I am so glad I got to experience this since I did not experience it with the twins.""I thought you were gasping for air a few minutes ago, and now you are happy?"He shook his head. "I was not gasping; I was playing with you. Why would I have a problem with a child, I have been asking you for?""Well, I have a problem with it; this was not planned. I have many things I wanted to do after the Luna lesson; I wanted to get a job, not just stay at home; I even wanted to maybe start school or something, but here I am pregnant again." I barked and blinked back the tears that were trying to drop."Wow, I didn't know that. I can get you a job that would not stress you and I can get you admitted to any school of your choice in the pack. Please don't cry. I thought you were usi
