MasukRHONDAI 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?
RHONDAThe only other people who knew about Leo’s obsession with butterflies were Layla and Theodore. Theodore was many things, but he wouldn’t hurt his kid. Layla, however, had done it before. Twice. She kidnapped him twice, now making it the third. She got away with the other two, but I would make her suffer now. I’d show her that I wasn’t one to be messed with.“The man who tried to kidnap him has brown hair. He has a scar on his face and...” I tried to describe him to Malcolm as that might help him find him. But...“Victor and Kane caught him,” Malcolm told me. “He’s in police custody. I wish they never took him there. I would have handled him myself and gotten answers from him.”I swallowed. “Get me my phone, please. Where is it?”“Was her phone with her when she was brought here?” Malcolm asked my grandparents, and they shook their heads.“What do you want to do with it? You can use mine,” Grandpa offered.“I need to call Layla. But I assume you don’t have her contact.” I tried
MALCOLMI didn’t even know how I got into my car and started speeding towards the Nova Care Medical Center where Rhonda had been taken. My heart was beating really fast against my chest. I wouldn’t survive losing Rhonda.When I arrived at the hospital, I didn’t even park my car properly before jumping out and rushing inside. Victor met me on the way and I threw the car keys at him to park it properly.“Where is she?” I asked, and he told me her ward.I got into the elevator and went straight there. Her grandparents were outside, their faces pale with worry.“What’s the situation?” I asked breathlessly.“The doctors are still inside,” Martha told me. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Blood. There was blood. I didn’t know...” she gasped.Zack wrapped his arm around her to help calm his wife. He was also visibly devastated, but he tried to hold it together for her.“And Leo?” I asked. “Where is he? Is he fine?”“Yes. He is fine. But he is on a drip. There were traces of wolfsbane in his bloo
RHONDAThe kiss was slow and deliberate as we smothered our lips against each other. The way his touch made my body spark with fire was not a feeling I had ever experienced before.I wanted him. All of him.As the kiss intensified, a knock suddenly sounded on the door.Malcolm wanted to ignore it,
RHONDAI was confused, wondering what the hell had just happened. I had no knife on me and couldn’t have subconsciously stabbed her. The crazy girl stabbed herself to frame me.She continued writhing on the floor, screaming for help.I ran back to my car and grabbed my phone, calling 911.They resp
MALCOLMI stood frozen for a second, shocked at her words. She felt the same way?“You feel the same way?” I repeated to confirm I heard right.She nodded. “I feel the same. I was afraid of getting heartbroken again, that’s why I had been withdrawing.”“I could never break your heart, Rhonda,” I pr
RHONDAWhen I got to the SkyTech tower the following day, reporters flocked towards me, asking me questions.Their invasion happened so fast that I was shocked. I hadn’t expected them here at all. Not this early.“Ms. Rhonda, are you and Alpha Malcolm official now?”“Are you and Alpha Theodore divo
