~Liam~ We listened to Caspian, and his insight made a lot of sense. Putting it the way he indeed made the problem seem grand, but only time would tell. "I believe we should delve deeper into this matter. For now, focusing our investigations at the Grizlo docks seems pertinent, given Caspian's assertion that Thompson has received a higher number of these illicit shipments through his port compared to Cain Island. This pattern might extend to other locations as well. If there's a surge of these contraband items entering through Grizlo, it could signify the presence of an unknown cartel in that region," Charlotte suggested, her words unveiling a significant angle. "Agk32 holds substantial value on the black market. Nevertheless, we must acknowledge the potential for harm outweighing its benefits, given that Eric Stepanov isn't the producer. Nelson Stepnaov shut down his D3 lab fifteen years ago due to concerns regarding Agk32 and its byproducts. It's plausible that someone with previou

~Liam~ Knowing Harper would be on her way soon, I woke up early. Josephine stirred in her sleep a bit, and I contemplated bringing her along. I would love to bring her with me, but I did not want to trouble her rest. "Just wake her already and stop staring," Alex said in my head, and I sighed. My wolf could be a bit pushy sometimes. He had behaved reasonably since we returned from the park, so I was hopeful. I often wondered how my father was able to tame Knight. He said it took years of practice, but my wolf is more stubborn than his. I see Alex more like Kaira, my mother's wolf. She is impulsive to date, no matter how my mother tries to mask it. Kaira is the most impatient wolf I have ever met, followed by Aurora, Aunty Amelia's wolf. I wondered if Onyx was like that, too. Most of the wolves I know aren't tamed; they have just been through so much that they have had to grow up. I gently touched Josephine, and she turned face up, still sleeping; she looked beautiful in her slee

~Liam~ After the call, Justin joined us and seemed to be laughing. I did not know what was funny, but I suspected something was happening in the room where the others were. "What is going on?" I asked Justin. "Marvin isn't having it easy with Alpha Devin. Lord Alexei was cool about Elaine being here, almost as if he expected it, but Devin hasn't taken it easy. He demands that Layla hop on the next available flight back to Mountain, and he also says she is grounded," Justin said. I felt sorry for Marvin, but we all knew that would happen. Alpha Devin had explicitly explained that he would not allow his children on this mission. I wondered why Layla felt it would be okay to defy her parents despite the kind of father she had. "Marvin asked me to speak to Alpha Devin, but I refused. Even I did not want to be on the receiving end of his wrath. Marvin is trying to see if he can get Uncle Leo to speak to Devin. I told him good luck with that because I doubt Uncle Leo will get involved, b

~Charlotte~ I could not believe Caspian and I were heading to Cains. Although Marvin and Oliver were tagging along with their girlfriends, it was still going to be a thrilling experience. I was head over heels for Caspian, and I could tell he felt the same way. I understood Liam's need to be cautious, but I hoped they would know they had nothing to worry about where Caspian was concerned. I trusted him completely, and he had opened up his heart to me. "Our flight is in an hour," Caspian said to me, stroking my hand gently while we sat side by side on the couch in the lounge. "I am excited, Caspian, and a bit nervous about meeting your family," I confessed. He pulled me close and landed a gentle kiss on my lips. "You have nothing to worry about, Charlotte. It is an honour for them to meet you. My mother was a bit afraid when I told her who my mate was. I am sure they will be on their best behaviour and pamper you there. They have wanted me to settle down for a bit now, and now th

~Harper~ We arrived in Lumas in an hour. We rarely go to Brighton, so I hadn't been to Lumas in a while, but it was a beautiful city now. Lord Alexei and Lord Clay, and their current Alpha, were doing an excellent job, and it was evident in how rapidly the West was developing. Eric was also a great contributor to development. As things were, the West was just as developed as the North, maybe a little bit more advanced, and we have to give it to the geniuses of the Stepanov clan. "Let's catch a cab to take us to Brighton," Justin said, and I adjusted my sunglasses and scarf to hide my identity. Justin had on a hat and sunglasses so no one could recognise us. We headed out and tried to call a cab. To our surprise, none was willing to go to Brighton. They claimed that road construction was ongoing, and thus, they could not travel the highway. It meant we were stuck. The only other option was to hire a Helicopter to do so. We would have to go through the Alpha. Lumas was a small c
