MALCOLMRage blasted through my entire being as I returned my attention to the woman in the cell.“Who are you working for?” I growled as I grabbed her neck and lifted her with it, pinning her against the wall. Her injured legs dangled as she winced in pain.“Who do you work for?” I repeated. “Who hired you?”I knew for sure that there was more to this. She and Julian weren’t alone in this.“Who hired me?” she smirked. “Alpha, are you underestimating me? Do you think I cannot carry out such an act alone?”She fucking thought this was a joke.My eyes turned red with anger. I applied pressure to her neck. Now, raw fear flicked through her eyes.She tapped my hand desperately, begging to be released, but I didn’t even budge. I kept staring at her, making sure that her face had started turning blue before I released my grip. She crumpled to the floor.She coughed repeatedly and gasped for breath.I crouched before her, and I could tell my eyes had turned to their darkest shade.“Who. Hire

MALCOLMIt made sense that she felt that way. Anyone would. The thought of something so private being exposed like that, turned into something people could watch and talk about, was terrifying. Society wasn’t kind to women when things like that happened. It never had been. Once it got out, it wouldn’t matter who she was or everything she had worked for. People would reduce her to that one moment. They would keep bringing it up, reminding her in ways both loud and quiet that her body was out there for everyone to see. It would follow her everywhere, tied to her name, overshadowing everything else she had done to earn respect. Meanwhile, the man involved would walk away without much consequence, sometimes even getting praised for the same thing she was being judged for. It was unfair, but it was the reality. And because of that, I understood Rhonda’s pain. I really did.I understood the fear of her children, our children, being bullied at school because of their mother's video online.

RHONDA“Leo!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, going room by room to look for him. The manor workers also joined in the search, everyone moving frantically. After a minute of not seeing him, I ran to the control room to check the CCTV footage of the manor.No one was inside. Within two minutes, I was able to trace Leo’s movement. Barely five minutes before I arrived, he left the manor and walked towards the woods.He wasn’t kidnapped. He wandered off on his own.“The woods,” I screamed as I burst out of the manor and ran towards the direction Leo had gone.My chest beat really hard, my stomach tightening with fear as I screamed his name.“Leo!” I yelled at the top of my lungs. “Where are you? Leo, where are you? Mommy is worried.”Silence. I ran further into the woods, searching desperately for my son. I couldn’t afford to lose him. What if a wild animal found him first and devoured him? He was just a child. He wouldn’t be able to defend himself. The more I ran and screamed, the mor

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

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
