Puppy Love 36 The Housekeeper Who Wasn't
~Liam~ We drove to the hospital in silence, and I could feel the grim in the air. Other than Charlotte that was excited about seeing her mother, the rest of us were in deep thought. Evidently, the people who made the video and sent it to our parents were those who blew up the van and the house. They were the people that were watching Josephine and me. I could understand why Justin freaked out. I wondered what their deal was and why they had to harm the housekeeper. How does she tie into all this? Although they said the housekeeper had been employed by my grandparents, I did not know who she was. Grandma had a lot of workers, but we always ended up doing most of the chores in the house, so they rarely came by. This housekeeper must have been unlucky to be the one sent to the house. We need to look into her life to understand what might have happened. We arrived at the hospital, and the number of guards we found there indicated that Aunty Claudia was truly in the building. Uncl
Puppy Love 37 Emotions
~Charlotte~ My heart skipped a beat the moment I stepped into Alpha Justin's office, and my eyes met Caspian's. Caspian of Cain Island stood there, exuding a commanding and magnetic aura. His dark hair framed his rugged face perfectly, contrasting with his piercing green eyes that seemed to hold secrets untold. The way he carried himself, tall and brawny, was a sight to behold – not overly muscular, but possessing the perfect amount of strength and bulkiness. As my gaze lingered on him, I couldn't help but feel a flutter in my chest. His presence was like that of a confident executive who knew how to command attention without even trying. His smile, oh, that smile, was nothing short of enchanting. It had a way of lighting up his face, making my heart race even faster. Time seemed to stand still as our eyes remained locked, the world around us fading into insignificance. I could feel the attraction growing stronger with each passing second, a magnetic pull that I couldn't deny. I
Puppy Love 38 A Simple Hello
~Charlotte~ A few minutes passed, and a knock echoed through my room. Truth be told, I wasn't in the mood to engage with anyone at the moment. I could only imagine that some of my cousins had picked up on my mood, and the thought of facing them in this state made my shyness peak. I had no idea what I would say or how I could explain myself. I was still lost in contemplation when a distinct scent wafted through the air, reaching my nostrils. I looked towards the door, my heart suddenly racing. I knew without a doubt that it was Caspian. Why else would he be here? A rush of uncertainty surged through me – was he coming to reject the bond that fate had seemingly woven between us? A part of me wanted to retreat, to pretend that I wasn't here, but reality pressed upon me. I knew he was just as aware of my presence as I was of his. With a deep breath, I made my way to the door, bracing myself for what was to come. As I swung the door open, there he stood – tall, handsome, and undeniably
Puppy Love 39 Unsure
~Caspian~ The moment Charlotte walked into Alpha Justin's office, the world around me ceased to exist. Her presence consumed my senses, and nothing else seemed to matter. Charlotte. The name echoed in my mind like a beautiful melody; her image burned into my thoughts. Brown hair cascaded her shoulders, framing a face that held an enchanting allure. But it was her eyes – those captivating cat-like eyes – that ensnared me entirely. In that instant, I felt as if I were drowning in a sea of emotions, and my heart raced uncontrollably. My wolf, Clover, surged within me, urging me to claim her as our mate. The primal instincts roared to life, demanding to be heard. Yet, I held him back, trying to regain control. Fear gripped me – fear of what it could mean and of being rejected by the woman who had captured my soul. I might be an Alpha, ruling over an entire island. Still, Charlotte was royalty, an ethereal being far beyond my realm. In my eyes, she was a beacon of elegance and grace, w
Puppy Love 40 Trying
~Caspian~ The morning sun filtered into my room, coaxing me out of sleep at my usual hour – six o'clock. With a stretch and a yawn, I readied myself for the day ahead. After a quick refresh, I made the decision to hit the Packhouse Gym, aiming to engage in a bit of muscle work. As I made my way out, I couldn't help but pass by Charlotte's door. A fleeting thought crossed my mind that she might still be asleep. The urge to knock was there, but then the fear of seeming invasive stopped me. The last thing I wanted was to come across as bothersome or, worse yet, as someone creeping into her space. That would be a sure way to ruin any chances I might have with her. Determinedly, I continued on my way, heading down the stairs and navigating through the packhouse. I approached one of the workers, inquiring about the location of the gym. With a friendly point in the right direction, I offered my gratitude and proceeded on my way. Upon arrival, I was taken aback by the empty room. It was od
Puppy Love 41 Let's Try
~Charlotte~ Caspian sat close to me, leaving no room to excuse myself. The way Liam and Josephine stared at us meant they had figured it out. Great. It was now their turn to tease me. Somehow, I wished I wasn't so mean to both of them, especially Liam. Teasing him about Sophia. I knew I wouldn't hear the last of this. I looked at my cousin, and there was a look of mischief in his eyes that made me look away, but it wasn't just him. Marvin, too; the rest seemed oblivious, but it would only take a matter of time. "I see you like polo?" Sebastien asked Caspian, and Liam chuckled. "I actually play," He said, and Sebastien's eyes widened. I couldn't believe this guy played polo. He had just ticked one of my boxes unknowingly. "Great, we all play polo. When we are free, we might attempt it. Maybe look for locals to complete our teams," Liam said, looking right at me, and I knew I was blushing. "That will be great, Your Highness," Caspian said, being polite. "Please, it's Liam. Le
Puppy Love 42 Bugged
~Tamia~ We finally got a tip about Sophia, and even though it was wrong, we all got physically involved. The thrill of the adventure made us eager. None of us had any business getting on boats wearing disguises and investigating criminals. We were royalty, but we did not want to pass on the fun, and the truth was, whoever we sent would not do a thorough job. I knew how much this meant to Liam, and I wanted him to be happy. We all did… Well, some of us, like Vino, were also just chasing the trill of another adventure. It wasn't fun just signing papers, making decrees, and overseeing council meetings. I could tell we were bored to our core. I figured Amelia was most bored when I saw her get creative with torturing the islander. She seemed to have a blast doing it. Truth be told, we all did. It brought back old memories and made me want to get some more action. Answering our prayers, the moon had given us a lead to follow. "I hope our disguises work in Kaizen," I said to S
Puppy Love 43 A Little Fear
~Liam~ Josephine and I had initially planned to head to the lake after breakfast. However, upon noticing Charlotte and Caspian moving in that same direction, Josephine had a change of heart. She believed they deserved their privacy, especially since she seemed genuinely delighted about Charlotte finding her life partner. Despite Charlotte not having openly shared the news yet, it was evident to those of us who were observant. We decided to head back upstairs, and Josephine agreed to spend time in my room. The struggle to restrain my wolf's desires around her was becoming more challenging. The urge to take things further with her grew increasingly potent, and Alex's presence only complicated matters. My wolf didn't even attempt to hold back. I questioned my ability to resist despite my mind being flooded with intense desires for her. Controlling myself became a battle of wills. I started to doubt my determination. Should I perhaps wait to gauge her acceptance of me? Maybe waiting unt
