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.Three days later. "Don't tell me you want to take her with you, Reynolds! She can take a taxi or something!" Ava snapped the moment she noticed me walking right behind Alpha Reynolds, all dressed in work attire. Since she regained consciousness, she had continued to act unbearably and suffocating. I tried telling Alpha Reynolds I wanted to leave, but he wouldn't let me go. He'd always insist that Ava wouldn't hurt me, but I knew she was up to something. "Leave my way, Ava! You don't get to pick or decide what I do with my secretary!" Alpha Reynolds' strong voice echoed through the air as he stared at her."Are you pushing me away because of her? No, Alpha Reynolds, I will not allow you to go with her! She can certainly leave on her own!" Ava added and it made me realise that I shouldn't bother Alpha Reynolds with my own issues. I wasn't married to him, so it was best if I stayed in my lane and said nothing. "Ava, you keep daring me, and I'm letting this slip because
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
Kayla's POV."You can't tempt the Alpha and expect to leave his sight that easily, Kayla…that's not how it is done with me!" His raspy voice murmured in my ears, making me feel intense and anxious. I swallowed uncomfortably, biting my bottom lips as I stared at the door in front of me. At this point, I wished I hadn't taken the bath, I wished I hadn't forgotten the towel, and, most importantly, that I had paid attention carefully enough to recognize when Alpha Reynolds entered the room. I was ashamed of myself at this moment, but his hands squeezing my boobs gave me no choice but to remain calm. I wanted more, and I couldn't let it go. I haven't felt this way in a long time; thrills kept pouring through my veins. My gaze was still locked on the door before me when Alpha Reynolds, with his one arm wrapped around my small waist, turned me to face him. Turning to face him, I couldn't help but feel a strong longing at the sight of his lips and handsome face. He was fucking gorgeous
Kayla's POV. "Alpha Reynolds!!!!" The unexpected knock on the door jolted Alpha Reynolds and me out of bed, causing us to snap our eyes open in shock and panic. It was still early in the morning, and we were attempting to get some rest despite the fact that we had been busy all night. It was time to rest, only to be interrupted by an unknown person at the door. Just then, I pulled the bedsheet and realised I was still nude and on the same bed as Alpha Reynolds. I rushed to my feet, a sensation of urgency rushing through my veins, wanting nothing more than to get clothed and not be caught. "Kayla, dress faster! We can't be caught!" Alpha Reynolds ordered calmly, but was bothered for a single second. I ignored his warning and tried to fit into my trouser, which was laying on the ground next to the bed. He wore his shirt and then his pants. It was not too difficult for him to do so. I'd already put on my bra and was about to put on my shirt when the knock came again, this time lo
Reynolds' POV. "What on earth are you doing here, Ava? Why are you here?" I shouted, the intensity of my voice echoing through the air. Fury surged through me, visible in the pulsating veins as I glared at Ava, who stood directly in front of me.Her demeanour exuded a sense of authority, leaving me perplexed as to why. At this moment, the last thing I needed was her presence in the same hotel room where I had spent the night having sex with Kayla."Is that how to welcome your own Luna, Alpha Reynolds?" She asked, folding her arms across her chest."My Luna? We both know that you will never be one! Not when you believe you have the right to mistreat people!" I yelled, hoping to get her to leave, but she didn't move. "Say whatever you wish to say, Alpha Reynolds, one thing I know and I'm sure about is this…" She approached me and grabbed the hem of my shirt, her gaze moving from my chest to my eyes. "I will not leave this room today. Since you want a lady beside you, then I'm here t
Reynolds' POV. "Alpha Reynolds, you are up early!" Beta Luke declared urgently, the very instant he caught sight of me emerging from the mansion, a profound frown carved deeply into my expression.Silent, I didn't reply to him. Instead, I approached the car stationed in front of the mansion, and without hesitation, Beta Luke swiftly opened the door, inviting me to step inside.The second I climbed into the car, I settled down. It was certain that he was going to keep wondering why I was out so early in the morning but what more could I have done? Getting Kayla was crucial; I had to ensure she stayed with me. To achieve that, my only task was to reach the company before everyone else, securing our time together."Move!" I commanded in a low, authoritative tone, and without a moment's hesitation, Beta Luke pivoted towards the car's ignition. Devoid of any additional inquiries, he swiftly manoeuvred the vehicle out of the mansion's premises, a determined intensity in his actions.Ador
Reynolds' POV. "We've arrived, Alpha Reynolds!" Beta Luke's voice resonated, shattering the silence in the car and pulling me out of my reverie.We headed out from home to the mall, and Adora was so excited about it that saying no to her was just not an option.Regrettably, throughout the entire journey to the mall, my mind was preoccupied, and it wasn't about just anything. It was the lingering realisation that Kayla had been consistently avoiding me for quite some time. I yearned to reach out to her by any means possible, but she persistently made it seemingly impossible. The ongoing struggle became increasingly frustrating and emotionally stifling."Come on, daddy! Let's go shopping!" Adora's tiny voice bubbled with enthusiasm, her hand reaching out to mine inside the car, her fingers eagerly intertwining with mine. Her excitement resonated, creating an infectious energy that instantly lifted the mood. The prospect of a shopping spree with my daughter brought a warmth to my he
