Alicia's POV“What is she doing here?” I asked as I dropped the watering can that I was using to water the flowers with Adrian. We were talking about moving and he was still arguing that he had to come with me. I came to water the flowers because it gave me a sense of peace, but Adrian had followed me down here, standing on his point that we should leave together. I was thinking to consider it, because Alex and Arnold had been quite a disappointment. Now I turned and saw this girl. What the heck was she doing here?“What was wrong with Alex, you haven’t even travelled and he invited his pesky girlfriend over?” Adrian growled as he balled his fist. “Did she come with Dad?” I asked, looking at Dad that was almost storming into the house. Adrian took my hand. “Stay close to me.” he pulled me up and we approached Alex who stood with her talking to her. “I see you have a visitor, Alex?”Alex gritted his teeth and took Briana’s hand. “Come in,” He told her, ignoring us as he pulled her
Briana's POV“Here's my ticket to victory,” I muttered looking at the positive pregnancy test results I just got from the hospital.I laughed out as I threw my head back. “It's just so wonderful how everything is falling into place.” My car was still outside the hospital where I came to get my results. I picked my phone from the front passenger seat.I paused as I reached Alex's number. “I should tell him first, but that– wouldn't help that much.”I bit my bottom lip and scrolled past his name. “He wouldn't give me what I want, I'll speak to the one in charge.”“Alpha Richard,” grinning, I mentioned his name as my finger hovered above his number.“You’ll give me what I want,” I finished and dialed his number.It rang the first time but no response. I narrowed my eyes. “You can ignore me, but not my message, Sir.”I quickly started to type a text. {Hi, Alpha Richard,It’s Briana and I hope this message finds you well. I'm texting because I called and didn't get a response.So, we nee
Alicia's POV“It’s not her fault, why does she have to leave?” Adrian asked as he grabbed the visa and flight tickets that my Step Dad was giving to me.“Stay out of this, Adrian and give me those documents!” Richard thundered at Adrian and I flinched. He was furious. I came in and saw him talking to the boys. That was when he told me he also knew about our bond. “But, I don’t want to be separated from my mates, it would hurt us.” I sobbed, tears rolling down my eyes.Arnold gritted his teeth and looked down. “This was why we didn’t want to tell you about it all, because you never truly understand us.”Richard chuckled. “What’s there to understand apart from this being an abomination, Adrian.” Alex sighed. “An abomination had never felt this good.” I faced him and he touched my hand. “I know I’m a prick at times, but I can’t deny the fact that Alicia is the best thing that ever happened to me– to us.”He turned to look at Adrian and Arnold who nodded. Arnold contributed, “I’m an ass
Vera's POVI stood frozen by the stairways, staring down at Claudia leaving the house. What did I just hear her say? That Alicia and the boys are mates?What about Finn? Was it all a lie?A high pitched ringing sound echoed in my ears, my eyes closing as I felt lightheaded, staggering back. My grip on the railings tightened, trying to stop myself from falling. Richard had gone to puke, but he was back and pacing the sitting room, agitated.What did he see on her phone?The next minute, his phone rang, as he looked at it, he frowned. “Not again, why did she have to send me this?” He dropped his phone and rushed to vomit again.Maybe Claudia sent him the video again. What’s in it that’s making him puke?I heaved a deep breath, taking close steps down the stairs. My eyes were fixed on the phone, I was eager to see it, but at the same time, I think it wasn’t a good idea– but I had to.I reached the sitting room in a few minutes and I picked up the phone. A blurred out video was playing o
Claudia’s POVA smile crawled on my lips as I ended the call with Alpha Richard. I knew I had just made him anxious to hear what I had to say. “It’s time to finish them all up before I leave.”“Well played,” Kinn remarked behind me.I rolled my eyes. “If you are going to insist on following me everywhere, then you should at least keep quiet.”Kinn smirked and started the car. We were outside a restaurant where we just had breakfast. Even though I was tied with him, I was glad that he at least listened to my request.I had asked to come back here, just once more and he agreed, though on the annoying condition that he would be my driver, taking me everywhere.“Where are we going now?” “Alpha Richard’s pack house, obviously,” I replied. “But you said you’d meet him by noon and it’s still morning, except you are hoping to see your ex,” Kinn jested at me. I pouted as I stared at him.“Alex had disappointed me– he couldn’t even stay with his true mate as soon as Briana came, I knew I coul
Richard’s POV“How is this possible? The same girl?” I thought out loud as I jogged up the stairs. As soon as I heard Alex mention her name, I lost my appetite. I went straight into my study and I sat on the arm chair in the middle. I pinched the bridge of my nose as my head nearly ached at how hard I was thinking.“Wasn’t that chapter closed a while ago? Why was she back again?” I asked outloud, staring at the ceiling.Briana– Her name kept ringing in my head. Alex had been obsessed with this girl earlier, I felt it was unhealthy so I thought I would set up a mating ceremony for them, but when I looked through her profile, even before meeting her, I was shocked. She was not good for Alex, but he wouldn’t listen. He was blinded by his feelings and I think I see it going back where it used to be again.Darn it. I jolted out of my chair, pushing it back and the legs scraped against the marble floor, making a screeching sound. I paced the room, as I flashed back to what had happened
