CHAPTER: FOUR 3RD PERSON’S POVLeo was not happy to see Kai around; he was enjoying the party until he showed up, and that was not part of his plans. All he wanted was some time alone to get to know her, Arya Wayne; he was sure she was his mate, and as much as he hated how weak and timid she was.All he wanted was to confront him and ask him what he was doing at his pack house; he was the Alpha of the pack and had every right to know why he would show up at his pack house without his permission.He knew Kai was stalking her and he had not told his mom about it; he wanted to solve it by himself as the leader, but Kai was giving him a hard time, showing up every time he pleased and even having the guts to stalk her. Even though he had someone onto Arya, it was for her good; he wanted no harm done to her, and that was his aim.Leo walked stealthily to where Kai and his group of friends were seated and demanded to talk to him.“What are you doing here? Was my warning not enough for you to
CHAPTER: FIVEARYA WAYNEThe loud beeping of my phone alarm woke me up from my beauty sleep. I opened my eyes, trying to adjust to the light in my room, but shut them immediately.The rays of the sun shone brightly in the room, reflecting on my face. My body was weak, but I still managed to drag myself to the bathroom. I needed to brush my teeth and wash my face before I could go on my morning run.I quickly walked to the bathroom, washed my face and brushed my teeth, then threw on a tank top and a pair of gym tights, some sneakers, and picked up my headphones, then headed downstairs.“Good morning, honey, How was your night?”“Great dad, thanks for asking; I am just going for a run and I will be back in like forty-five minutes,” I said, and I kissed him on his cheeks and grabbed a piece of apple from the plate on the kitchen counter and ran outside.I knew he wanted to ask me about my birthday party, and I was pretty sure he already knew what happened, but I was still not ready for th
CHAPTER: SIX3RD PERSON’S POVArya’s father was suffering from Carcinoid Syndrome, and since the cancer was already widespread when they found out, the doctor recommended a treatment to shrink the tumors, and that was what kept Mr. Wayne going a few months after he lost his wife.The bills and responsibilities were piling up, and he was stressed, so he passed out while at work and had to be rushed to the hospital again for the third time that month.“Dad, have you been drinking again?” Arya asked her father after she was allowed to see him, as that was also a reason why he would have passed out.“No, why would I go drinking when bills are piling up plus, I know my health; there is no way I would do that, but don’t worry, I just passed out and they rushed me here; otherwise, I am good; I think I was just stressed.” He told her, reassuring her that everything was fine.“You know when I got that call, I thought maybe something bad had happened to you. I was worried.” She said so, and her
CHAPTER: SEVENALPHA LEO LANCE“I can’t believe she took the job; why didn’t she just come to me?" Leo ranted as he paced around the living room; it was a day after Arya started working at Kai’s restaurant, and he was losing his cool.“Why would she refuse to take the job, Leo? You do know that you are just overreacting, and there is no need for this, right?” His mom was trying to calm him down, but Leo was having none of that; he was mad at everyone, at himself for relaxing, and at Kai for taking advantage of Arya’s situation to manipulate her by trying to get back at him.She was just not a pawn in his game; she was in his pack, and he was the one that found her and brought her to their pack and begged his father to let them stay, but all Kai wanted was to piss him off; he wanted a war! And he was going to give him one for as long as he stayed away from her.“You don’t understand, Mom, this is a war between Kai and me; he asked for it, and I am going to give it to him.”“I don’t thin
CHAPTER: EIGHTARYA'S POVI took the job because I needed it and because the pay was good, no lie; I had to help my father, but when I met with Emily the following day, I was shocked to learn that Leo knew about it and that he was mad. The question is, why was he mad at me for taking the job?I wanted to call him, but I was skeptical about it. What if I gave him a bad impression of me? So, I focused on reading for my final exams and waiting for him to call. I hadn’t heard from him for two days, and it kind of felt weird that I hadn’t. I was highly hoping he would call after the moment we shared, the gift, and everything that happened since my birthday.“Are you okay, honey?” My father asked that evening as we watched TV together.“Yes, I am a good dad; why would you think otherwise?” I asked obliviously.“I don’t know, the look on your face and that frown say it all; you know you can always talk to me about anything, you know that, right?”"Yes, Dad, except I am good; I am just exhaust
CHAPTER: NINEARYA WAYNE“Are you okay?” His voice rang in my head. I was lost in my world until he touched me.“Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am totally fine; I just zoned out,” I said this while trying to hide my discomfort.“Okay, I am sorry; I got a visitor. I would like you to meet him. I hope you don’t mind?” He asked, and since I was not yet ready to meet him, I didn’t want to make Leo suspicious of anything.“Of course, I don’t mind at all; I didn’t know you had friends.”“No, I don’t have a lot of friends, but I have a friend; he is downstairs; you will just say hi to him and then go to sleep; I know it is too late right now.” He said as I followed him downstairs.“Dylan, this is Arya. I know you two have never met, but this is an opportunity for you two. Arya, this is my best friend, Dylan. I know you haven’t seen him around, but he is from Alpha Kai’s pack." Leo said, and I almost chuckled.Dylan: "So his name is not Steve anymore; what else is he hiding?” I asked myself.“It is nice
ALPHA LEOThe look on Arya’s face when she saw Dylan meant something; the two either knew each other or she knew him and was trying to hide that from me, except she forgot that I could also read her mind. I just wanted to hear it from Dylan; there is no way he could hide anything from me, so I waited until the next day so I could talk to him about it.I asked him to meet me at my office, and later that day I got a call from my PA: “Alpha Leo, Dylan is here to see you.”“Please let him through,” I said and hung up.“Hey man, I am here.”“Yes, I can see that. I wanted to talk to you. You and I both know why I want to meet you, right?” I asked as I looked up from my computer, and he exhaled sharply.“I don’t know what you are talking about; maybe you make me understand.” He claimed he was attempting to play hard on me.“You do know that I can read your mind right now, right?” I asked, and he stuttered.“I don’t know exactly what you are talking about... I don’t know man.” He said, and I s
3RD PERSON’S POVThings went well between the two, and Arya was more than happy. She was over the moon, and even though she was trying to forgive her brother for hiding such information from her, Dylan gave her time to get over it. All he wanted was a relationship with his family, especially with his sister Arya.Elsewhere Kai was having a meeting with his parents, and his father had different thoughts about the whole dating thing, but his mother had a different opinion, always siding with Kai because she thought her son deserved the best.“Son, I am sorry, but I don’t think it is a good idea for you to force the girl to be yours; I don’t approve of that.” He said it in a firm tone, and Kai sighed then turned to look at his mother for comment. He might have had respect for his father, but he was a mama’s boy, and his mother was always supporting his decisions.“No, that is not a good idea. What is the point of my son waiting all these years for his mate, only for you to advise him to
