RHONDAMy heart beat really against my chest, my life flashing before me. I thought of Leo and how he would become motherless if Layla killed me. I thought of how much he would suffer in this cruel world. No, I couldn’t let that happen.“Layla, put the gun down and let’s talk about this amicably. What do you want?” I carefully stretched my hands forward. “I’ll do whatever you want.”“What I want is for you to disappear from the face of this earth. Your presence has been the source of my misery for a very long time now,” she growled.“You wanted Theodore. Now you have Theodore to yourself,” I said.“I do not completely have him and that is because of you.”“If you want me to disappear and never return here, I would do it. I promise to do whatever you want. Just put the gun down,” I started to carefully move forward, aiming to overtake the gun from her.“Stop there!” she growled.I stopped immediately.“There’s nothing that can stop you from dying, you bitch. Today is the day that you d

RHONDALeaning forward, I placed a kiss on Leo’s forehead. “I’ll be back soon, okay?”“Where are you going?” he asked.“To pay a visit to your sister,” I said before leaving the room. Kane followed behind me.“What do you mean?” he asked curiously.“If we could threaten her with Skyler, she might show up to protect her daughter,” I said.“But how? To do that, we’d have to kidnap the innocent child, and I know you are not that type of person,” Kane said. I could feel the concern in his voice.I locked my gaze on him. “I am not kidnapping her. I simply just want to watch over her. She’ll be in this pack, but with me, while I contact Layla and tell her the danger her child would be in should she not return and turn herself in,” I said.“Oh, that makes sense,” he finally nodded.“Hey,” I called the first maid I saw. “How are you?”She trotted towards me and took a little bow. “I am fine.”“Do you know where Skyler is? I want to check up on her,” I muttered.“The princess?” she asked, and

THEODOREThe bullet had barely missed my heart. If it had pierced my heart, then I would have been long gone. That bitch Layla. I should have listened to Rhonda and not trusted her. I didn’t know she was so evil that she wanted Rhonda dead. When I saw her trying to shoot Rhonda, I ran towards them in a desperate attempt to hijack the gun from her. But before I could do that, she had fired the shot. I didn’t think twice before shielding her with my body.I didn't even know how much I loved and cared for Rhonda until that night. I didn’t realize how stupid I had been until that night. How could I have let someone like Layla into my home? She was the source of my destruction. She had seduced me and I fell for it. If I didn’t, then I would have still had my loving wife. Now, I had lost her to fucking Malcolm.I didn’t plan to relent until I had her back. She was the only one that could ever be perfect for me.The guards told me that Rhonda had been with me since the incident and only left

RHONDAEverywhere in my body hurt so badly. That bitch. The next time I saw her, I wouldn’t hesitate to kill her. She had caused me too much trouble.Malcolm tried to help me up.“Go after her before she escapes please,” I told him.“I am not leaving you,” he growled as he casually picked me up as though he was picking a teddy bear. He carried me the bridal style as he walked up the stairs.“Please get a doctor. My Luna needs to see one,” he told one of the nurses as we walked past her. He pointed towards one of the rooms. “We’ll be in that room.”“Yes, Alpha,” the nurse said as she hurried away.“Why did you fight her?” he said worriedly as he lowered me on the bed. “You know the condition you are in. What if you had lost the baby.”My hand quickly went to my stomach and rubbed over it. “I made sure to shield my belly while we were fighting. I am fine, Malcolm. For real. I just need the wounds to be cleaned. I don’t even need a doctor.”“Of course you need a doctor. These wounds are

RHONDAMalcolm returned late that day, and we returned to West Haven the next day. He barely spoke to me, even though I tried hard to initiate conversations. When I realized he didn’t want to talk, I allowed him, giving him time to cool down. When we arrived at my grandparents’ mansion, I hadn’t expected him to get down from the car with us.He walked us into the mansion to greet my grandparents. They were so delighted to see him as they exchanged pleasantries. They offered him lunch, but he declined by saying he had lots of things to do in his pack.When he turned to leave, he walked towards me and opened his arms for a hug. Shocked by that action, I leaned into his arms anyway.“I love you. I just need time to process all this,” he whispered into my ears.We pulled away from the hug and I looked into his eyes. “I love you too.”He left afterwards.The next day, I resumed at the office after being away for days. The applicants for the role of personal assistant and secretary were sch
