Puppy Love 46 A Need to Act
~Liam~ Alex had completely embarrassed me. I felt ashamed of myself and my wolf, but I understood his reasons. Josephine was my mate, and we were yet to claim her. Her eighteenth birthday seemed a bit far, and the only solution to waiting was keeping her close. Taking her away from me was scary. How was I going to function without her? I would have followed her to Mountain if that was where they were sending her, but she handled it. Watching her stand up for herself where I was concerned made me feel like a coward. She had told her father about us, and Lord Alexei had given his consent after warning me. He said a lot of dangerous things on the phone, things I knew he wouldn't get the opportunity to do because I wasn't going to break her heart. I was incapable of it. Josephine's opening up to her father made me feel like a coward. At that moment, I decided I would be honest with my father too and maybe get his advice on how to handle this because Josephine's 18th birth
Puppy Love 47 Crossing the Safe Line
Josephine. Leaving Justin with Caspian and Charlotte was a tard tough because I wanted to see Charlotte's reaction to our parent's request. It would have given me content to tease her with, but I also couldn't pass on the opportunity of a movie date night with Liam as I had other things in mind. Liam had shown how important I was to him at the park, eradicating my doubts and giving me the courage to speak to my father about us. As things were, I had made a silent promise to myself to make it work whether we were fated or not. Like his parents, I will reject fate's choice to be with Liam. It was a silent promise that I did not need to voice out. When we entered Liam's room, he pinned me against the wall and crashed his lips on mine. His kiss was deep with hope and gratitude, and I could feel it. I returned the kiss, equally grateful we wouldn't be torn apart. I could just imagine how he felt in those moments. Somehow, I knew he would have fought to ensure we remained clo
Puppy Love 48 Telling
Liam I woke up and found it was morning. Josephine was still naked in my arms, and I did not want to wake her. I remembered what we had done, and I knew we wouldn't be going back from this. It was hard to hold Alex back, but I was glad he did not go all the way. Josephine surprised me with what she did. I did not expect her to do that, but she surprised me. She had surprised me a lot since we started hanging out, and it seemed as if every day passing, I kept finding out new things about her. Deep down, I knew I couldn't hold back any longer at the pace we were going. Goddess knows I wanted to seal the deal yesterday. Her body, scent and need were driving me crazy, and I wanted to satisfy her. I wanted to be enough and connect with her. The feeling was overwhelming. I wasn't going to fool myself into thinking it would go away; I knew it wouldn't, and her eighteenth birthday seemed too far. Somehow, I knew waiting would be difficult, but I would try to delay as much as pos
Puppy Love 49 Somewhat Forward
Liam I knocked on Josephine's room, and she told me to come in. She was in her underwear dressing up when I entered, and she had a mischievous grin; so much for being worried. "What did he say?" she asked, slipping on her pants, and I grinned. "I was able to clear things up with him. He won't tell your father," I assured her, and she smiled. "Well, your father has always been the cool type, except when it comes to Harper," she said, and I knew she was right. I planned to have my sister join us in Grizlo soon; regardless of our father's misgivings, she deserves adventure. "Heard Charlotte threatened her father to elope with Caspian," I blurted out. Josephine widened her eyes in shock, then slipped on a shirt. "I guess breakfast will be fun," she said, and I laughed. We all knew it might never come to that, but Charlotte needed to fight for what she wanted. We headed downstairs and found everyone in the dining room. As always, we were the last to arrive, and our seats were
Puppy Love 50 Let's Talk
~Liam~ Josephine appeared slightly confused as I requested for Charlotte to stay. "Is something wrong?" she linked me. "Everything's fine. I just need to talk to Charlotte about her choice to elope," I replied. Josephine's eyes widened briefly, but she regained her composure. With some reluctance, Josephine headed back into the house, leaving me alone with Charlotte outside. "Make sure you don't leave me waiting, Li," she linked me before vanishing behind the door. Charlotte appeared as though she hadn't gotten much sleep, and it was clear that something unsettling had occurred. Uncle Vino had a reputation for being challenging, but I hadn't anticipated him also being thoughtless. "How are you holding up?" I inquired, and I began to walk so that she could accompany me for a stroll. Charlotte followed cautiously behind, her demeanour reflecting her downcast state. "So, you're aware?" she inquired, and I halted, turning to look at her. "Everyone put two and two together that d
Puppy Love 51 Sounds like a Plan
~Liam~ "Hi, Li," Harper greeted with a noticeable lack of happiness in her tone. "You took a while to call. Remember, I mentioned I wouldn't call unless you did," she mentioned, and a wave of guilt washed over me. I knew Harper would have reached out had the situation been reversed. "I apologise, Harper," I conveyed over the phone, to which she let out a sigh. "Don't worry. I understand that you all have hectic schedules," she responded, her voice tinged with a sense of yearning. "Did you really ask Father if you could join us in Grizlo, and he declined?" I blurted out. "I did. I approached him after the selection was finalised. I had hoped to be on Justin's team, Li, but he turned me down. He told me to wait for the next group. Then Elisabeth's team was assembled, and my name was nowhere to be found. I can't fathom why he's behaving this way. I might be a delta, but I'm fully capable," she said, her voice wavering with the threat of tears, as I anticipated she would mention. "M
Puppy Love 52 The Findings.
~Liam~ We listened to Caspian, and his insight made a lot of sense. Putting it the way he indeed made the problem seem grand, but only time would tell. "I believe we should delve deeper into this matter. For now, focusing our investigations at the Grizlo docks seems pertinent, given Caspian's assertion that Thompson has received a higher number of these illicit shipments through his port compared to Cain Island. This pattern might extend to other locations as well. If there's a surge of these contraband items entering through Grizlo, it could signify the presence of an unknown cartel in that region," Charlotte suggested, her words unveiling a significant angle. "Agk32 holds substantial value on the black market. Nevertheless, we must acknowledge the potential for harm outweighing its benefits, given that Eric Stepanov isn't the producer. Nelson Stepnaov shut down his D3 lab fifteen years ago due to concerns regarding Agk32 and its byproducts. It's plausible that someone with previou
Puppy Love 53 Margret's Arrival
~Liam~ We proceeded to the area where Margret was confined. I was allowed access to her while the others remained outside the room, observing her through the glass and listening to our conversation via the speakers. She was securely bound with silver restraints, and despite her dishevelled hair and smudges on her face, she didn't appear to have been physically harmed. "Margret," I addressed, and her gaze widened. There was a sense of optimism in her expression that piqued my curiosity. "What happened to you? Why were you found at the docks in Cains?" I inquired, and she nodded, her eyes moist with tears. "I was supposed to go to the Brighton's house for cleaning. I had prepared for the task when three men wearing Ski masks showed up. I knew I was in trouble. They drugged me, and the next thing I knew, I was on an island. I had no idea why they had taken me. They inquired about Lady Stephanie and Alpha Jake's presence at the house, and I confirmed it," she shared while choking back
