Reynolds' POV. "Daddy, hurry up! Hurry... Mommy is going to die!!" Adora's panicked voice echoed through the phone the moment I answered, sending a shock of urgency through the conversation.A surge of adrenaline coursed through my veins upon hearing her words. The fear of losing Kayla gripped me, causing my eyelids to redden, and my eyes widened in a mixture of panic and distress. The weight of the situation intensified, leaving me desperate for a swift resolution.Without a moment's hesitation, I turned on my heels and swiftly made my way towards the exit. Disregarding any future consequences for my exit, my main focus was on the urgent task at hand; as Adora had declared, the mission was clear: saving Kayla, preventing the threat to her life.The seriousness of Kayla's condition became starkly evident through the tears streaming down Adora's face. "Alpha Reynolds, where are you heading to?" Beta Luke inquired, his observation keenly noting my lack of communication with him."Th

Kayla's POV."Come stay with me at the mansion, Kayla. I promise to keep you safe, and nothing will happen to you!" His words carried a heartfelt reassurance, a commitment to providing me with security and protection in the midst of uncertainty.Alpha Reynolds' suggestion had instantly overwhelmed me, and I found myself taken aback, struggling to believe that he had uttered those words to me.Was I hallucinating? Was I in a dreamland? Multiple thoughts raced through my mind as he tightly held my hand, the surreal nature of the moment leaving me in a state of uncertainty and disbelief.It all seemed too good to be true. One moment, he was tenderly pecking my forehead, and the next, he was extending a heartfelt invitation for me to stay at his home. His swift transition between moments left me in a state of pleasant disbelief.But the evident truth loomed large; this course of action had the potential to lead to danger, to a problem larger than I had anticipated. It wasn't the path I d

Kayla's POV. "Is he back already?" I thought to myself as my gaze shifted to the direction of the door the moment I heard the knock. I was positive Alpha Reynolds had left for the company, and hearing knocks on the door made it difficult for me to figure out what had happened. When the knock sounded again, I got out of bed and strolled over to the door without hesitation.Taking a deep breath, I reached for the door handle and opened it, wanting to ask Alpha Reynolds why he had returned so abruptly, but the moment I pulled it open, my heart fell and I couldn't help but freeze in my tracks. "Mrs. Becky!" My eyes opened widely as I looked at my stepmother, who was beaming viciously at me as she stood right in front of me. If there was anyone I was expecting to see, it was certainly not Mrs. Becky with her venomous gaze at me. "Are you that surprised to see me that you can't tell me to come in?" She asked, her voice as nasty as ever. She simply wasn't going to care about my health

Reynolds' POV. "You know you can tell me anything right?" I held Kayla's hands and persuaded her to open up to me. I was aware that Ava's mother had not simply entered her room to meet her. Mrs. Becky was bound to despise Kayla as much as Ava did."I am sorry, Alpha Reynolds. I didn't mean to draw attention to myself, but believe me, Mrs. Becky was not here to cause any harm to me. She came here to see how I was doing!" She continued to lie to me, and I could see it in her eyes. When she lied, it was written all over her face, and her hands continued to shake, making it even more obvious. I wanted to embrace her at this time, kiss her on the lips, and wipe away the tears on her cheeks, but it was a forbidden affair because Ava was still in the mansion. If there was one thing I didn't want to do, it was to make life difficult for Kayla, and kissing her would undoubtedly cause problems. My phone buzzed again as I continued to stare at her, despite her attempts to avoid making eye

Kayla's POV. "I can stay with the others and …" I was about to make another suggestion when Alpha Reynolds' voice interrupted, leaving me astonished and gazing at him as if I had seen a ghost standing directly in front of me. "She will stay in my room tonight! Make the necessary preparations!" He declared without fully facing me. His words caused chills to race through my veins. I was astonished and couldn't help but blink several times in an attempt to quell my shock.Just then, he turned around fully and grabbed my hand, intending to drag me into the building, but my urgent instincts kicked in, and I understood I had to act swiftly if I wanted to avoid what was about to happen "I… I can't go with you, Alpha Reynolds!" I instantly stopped him, removing my hand from his already loosened grip on me."What did you just say?" He turned to face me again, his eyes still flaming with rage. "I…" I swallowed anxiously. I tried not to make eye contact with him at this point. "I can't go
