LOGINTHEODOREThe air outside was cool as I walked with Leo around the park. The stupid bodyguard Rhonda had made sure to follow us was behind, watching our every movement. It annoyed me so much that Rhonda thought I couldn’t protect my own son.“Daddy, what will you get for me for my birthday?” Leo suddenly said.A wide smile spread on my face as I looked at him. “What do you want, boy?”“A Spider-Man suit!” he beamed.“Spider-Man? Why Spider-Man?” I asked.Before he replied, I noticed the bodyguard received a call, and I focused my attention to listen to what he was saying, forgetting to hear Leo’s response.“Yes, sir. We are at the park right now. Everything seems normal.” He paused. “Okay, sir. I’ll update you.”I turned around to look at him, my eyes sharp with a glare.“And what gave you and whoever hired you the audacity to spy on me and my son?” I growled.“I am not spying on you, Alpha,” he said with a straight face and stern tone. “I am only keeping an eye on Leo.”“Telling him e
RHONDA“What is happening here?” Theodore asked as he marched inside.“You ask your Luna,” I said the last word with a sarcastic tone as I tried to walk away. But Layla grabbed my arm and pulled me back.“How dare you pour hot coffee on my face!” she screamed.“Rhonda, are you jealous?” Theodore’s words almost made me gag.I shot my brow up as I flicked my gaze at him. “Jealous of what? Jealous of who? Someone who is out to destroy you?”“That’s all you do, accuse me of what I am innocent of. Why are you jealous of me?” Layla had the nerve to say.“Oh, you want to go down that hole? Let’s go on,” venom filled my voice as I started, “how is Charles? Your lover. Heard from him in jail? How about your son, Joseph? The one you had with Charles. And oh, the precious little girl. I bet she’s also Charles’ and not Theodore’s.”She flicked her gaze at Theodore, her eyes pleading. “Do not believe her. She’s only trying to frame me out of jealousy.”“Rhonda, why are you like this? You always u
RHONDAI went straight to the kitchen to get a nice cup of coffee. The pack members still respected me. They all greeted me with bows as they walked past. Some even offered smiles.The head cook, Grace’s eyes lightened the moment she saw me enter the kitchen. “Luna Rhonda!” she beamed.She was showing a girl chopping vegetables the right way to do it, but quickly dropped it and inched closer to me.“Grace, how are you? And how is your son Liam?” I asked, smiling sweetly at her.“I am fine. He is fine,” she beamed, her eyes crinkling as she smiled. I noticed how much older Grace had grown. Still, age looked beautiful on her.“Very nice then,” I looked around the kitchen. “Is there perhaps coffee available? A very hot one, please,” I asked politely.“We can quickly brew one for you,” she offered.“Very well. Thank you,” I nodded, smiling at her.She quickly turned around and instructed one of her girls to prepare a hot cup of coffee for me.While we waited, Victor inched closer to me an
RHONDACockroaches. Crickets. Ants. All sorts of bugs filled the entire room. Leo also screamed.What the actual fuck? What the hell was happening?“Oops,” Layla’s voice sounded from behind. “Only a room filled with filth gets infested with bugs. But...” she poked her head into the room, “this room doesn’t appear to be dirty. So it seems from the surface. Perhaps, the room was filled with a lot of negative aura, left in the wake of the one who used to occupy it.”I didn’t need rocket science knowledge to know that this was Layla’s doing.I glared at her, rage rumbling in my chest.“Ex-Luna. Do you have anything to say?” she flicked her gaze at me, a contemptuous smile on her lips. She had stressed the ‘Ex.’She was doing this intentionally. Trying to provoke me. She wanted to get a reaction out of me, take the opportunity to escalate it, and make me look crazy for accusing her. People had already gathered, watching to see what would happen. I knew better than to move in line with her
RHONDAThe weekend came and Leo and I were prepared to go to Brighton City. Malcolm offered to follow, but I declined, citing that he needed to remain in West Haven to run his company and his pack. Moreover, Leo and I would be in the Diamond Pack estate all through the visit. And we all knew that Malcolm wouldn’t be allowed to step foot into the estate.“I will miss you though,” Malcolm muttered as he accompanied us to the car that was to convey us to the airport where his private jet was waiting to fly us to Brighton.“Oh, I will miss you more,” I wrapped my arms around him, throwing my head back to meet his gaze. “I’ll be back before you know it.”He planted a kiss on my lips. “Please be careful. If I could, then I would’ve found a way to stop you from going there.”I also dreaded the idea of going to that pack, talk more of staying there for two nights. Sunday evening, I’d pack my bags and leave there with my son. Hell, I was already considering appealing in court, demanding comple
RHONDAI proceeded into the room. The moment I entered, Theodore’s call came in.“I guess you have left the hospital,” were the first words he said when I answered the call.My face squeezed with a frown. “How did you know I was in the hospital?”“Rumors spread, Rhonda,” he muttered. “So much for someone who claimed my son wasn’t safe in my territory.”“How did you know that? Because not so many people know that,” a thought crossed my mind and I blasted the question at him. “Did you do it? Did you send that man? You said you were going to appeal. Is this your way of finding a better argument? By kidnapping your own son?”“Nonsense,” he groaned. “Why would I do that anyway?” He changed the subject. “I have Leo this weekend.” “How would the arrangement be?” I asked. “You’d have to book another apartment to stay with Leo, because I cannot trust him with your Luna-to-be!”“Why can’t you trust him with her? Are you perhaps still jealous? Are you afraid that Leo would choose her over you?
RHONDATears streamed down my face. My knees weakened, but I forced myself to run out of that place. I couldn’t watch it anymore. The pain radiating through my entire being was overwhelming. I never deserved such treatment from anyone. He claimed to love me, but there he was, kissing another woman.
LAYLAHe had gone to see her again. All my efforts to get him to make me Luna had been going downhill. Even after telling him that I was Seven, which he stupidly believed at first. But now his skepticism was obvious. He had been requesting that I fix the prototype or build another one. But I couldn
RHONDA“Ro, you don’t have to rush it. You could take your time to settle down first,” he muttered as he stared at me.“No,” I shook my head. “There’s no need to waste any more time when the project is ready. I have had it for a while now. Though I gave it to the wrong company. But I took it back.”
RHONDAI tried to ignore him and drive past him, but he jumped in front of my car, forcing me to stop.“Rhonda!” he growled, opening his arms wide.Rage burned through me as I unbuckled my seatbelt and jumped out of the car.“What do you want from me, Theodore?” I groaned.He closed the distance be
