KEAGAN'S POV ~I peered through the windows, scanning the surroundings, but found no one in sight. My brows furrowed as I clutched the steering wheel and checked the rearview mirror once more for any signs of suspicion. After a moment of certainty that the coast was clear, I turned the ignition and drove away, my eyes glued to the mirror.The car rolled to a stop in the garage, and I slowly slid out of the vehicle. The sweet sound of giggles filled the air as my twins hurried out the front door to greet me. The exhaustion and sadness evaporated out of my soul as I squatted to their level, opening my arms to receive their warm hugs."Honey, you're back!" my little girl, Wilhelmina, exclaimed, softly planting kisses on my cheeks. I smiled at the title she'd insisted on referring to me as. She'd picked it up from Emma since she'd been a little pup, refusing to call me anything but Honey. It'd become a rule that Emma never referred to me as that--a rule i was silently grateful for..."Tho

KEAGAN'S POV~That...That was Jessica's scent!I blinked repeatedly. Various thoughts raced through my mind, causing it to whir like a machine.Goosebumps crept along my skin and as she slowly slid her hands away, a strange sense of loss overwhelmed me. My gaze shifted between my hands and her small sarcastic smile."It's something...making an acquitance of you, Mr. Hall. I hope for a mutually benefitial relationship," The coldness of her tone contrasted starkly with her friendly words. Was I suppposed to know her? Why did she seem to fucking hate my guts already? And why the fuck am I seeing and hearing Jessica in every of her movement, despite Sylvia being the exact opposite of her in both appearance and attitude. Sylvia was an Alpha, that much i could tell from the thick pheromones of dominance she emitted. And those blue ices. So fucking cold whereas Jessica's held nothing but meek adoration for me. Was i finally losing my mind--smelling Jessica's scent in every woman that wasn't

KEAGAN'S POV~"...And with the shareholders potentially manipulating sales in two months, I think we should vote them out. Alpha Keagan, are you there?"My eyes snapped to my Beta, who stood in front of the meeting hall, staring at me as everyone's gaze followed. I straightened my shoulders and slid on a haughtily annoyed mask. "What?""Sir, I was asking your thoughts on the vote," Hector said and I bit back a curse.I hadn't been listening since the meeting began and had no clue what my Beta was discussing with the board members. Distracted by thoughts occupying my head, I couldn't even pay attention.Slowly, I rose to my feet and sighed tiredly. "Continue the meeting without me." That said, I left the room.My head was muddled, making it impossible to think straight. It was so bizarre how that strange rude and equally infuriating Alpha easily grabbed every single space in my head.Sylvia Reynolds.I had avoided women ever since Jessica's death and couldn't imagine having a relation

KEAGAN'S POV ~My eyes narrowed into slits, my jaw clenched, and my teeth ground audibly before I forced a composed expression, turning to my kids.So many emotions and thoughts swirled into my head and I had no idea which to pick. Sylvia was alive and yet they believed she had committed suicide years ago? How was that even possible?"Daddy, are you alright?" Mina's squeaky little voice reached me, and I felt my heart melt.I shook my head and crouched to the ground, while Mina walked toward me and stroked my hair. "Daddy, tell me; I'll make you feel better, I promise."Hearing this, I felt my eyes prick with tears. Those were the exact words I said to my kids whenever they felt sad. Fuck, the way they had my heart in their hands was insane. I pulled Mina into my arms and kissed her head."Papa is just tired from work. I'll just take a nap, and I'll be rejuvenated," I said, and Mina nodded. I turned my gaze to William, who quickly avoided eye contact, and my chest squeezed with guilt

KEAGAN'S POV ~My head snapped in every direction, scanning the hall. Indeed, Sylvia was nowhere to be seen.Shit!I quickly rushed out of the hall in search of her, Hector at my side, pointing out the last places people had seen her."Did you see her agent as well?" I asked, digging the pads of my thumb into my temple as I paused at the last place I knew she had been."No, Alpha." Hector shook his head, and I ground my molars together.What the fuck!I was restless, a sense of impending doom settling over me like a shroud—even though I knew I shouldn't be—but where was she?My attention snapped to a little boy whose mother was scolding him for wandering away from her. The boy kept sniffling, his head bowed as she continued to reprimand him.I was about to pull my gaze away when the boy cried. "But Mom, I was trying to help a lady. A bad man was dragging her to the restroom while she kept fighting him. She didn't look well," the boy complained, and my spine turned to steel. Every mus
