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
Puppy Love 54 To The Airport
~Liam~ Knowing Harper would be on her way soon, I woke up early. Josephine stirred in her sleep a bit, and I contemplated bringing her along. I would love to bring her with me, but I did not want to trouble her rest. "Just wake her already and stop staring," Alex said in my head, and I sighed. My wolf could be a bit pushy sometimes. He had behaved reasonably since we returned from the park, so I was hopeful. I often wondered how my father was able to tame Knight. He said it took years of practice, but my wolf is more stubborn than his. I see Alex more like Kaira, my mother's wolf. She is impulsive to date, no matter how my mother tries to mask it. Kaira is the most impatient wolf I have ever met, followed by Aurora, Aunty Amelia's wolf. I wondered if Onyx was like that, too. Most of the wolves I know aren't tamed; they have just been through so much that they have had to grow up. I gently touched Josephine, and she turned face up, still sleeping; she looked beautiful in her slee
Puppy Love 55 A Little Freedom Is Harmless
~Liam~ We rode in utter silence for a while. My heart was beating fast, and Kappa Wilson looked spooked. He understood that Harper wasn't supposed to be in Grizlo. "Are you not supposed to be on Lisa's team?" Justin asked Elaine, and she shrugged. "I told them I wanted to be on your team, and my father said no. Lisa is too bossy, and I can't deal. Luis is better off with her, but I am sure we will have issues if I am ever on her team," Elaine said, leaning closely to Oliver, who held on tightly. I knew he was worried, too. My father, Lord Alexei and Alpha Devin would be mad when they found out. "What are we going to do, Li?" Oliver linked me, and I had to tell him the truth. "I do not know, but let's hope we don't all get in trouble. I asked Harper to come but didn't expect Layla and Elaine to follow," I linked him back. "Our folks are going back to Lucland today," Harper said to me, smiling. I could tell she knew she had put Justin and me in a severe mess. "I am sorry, Li, but
Puppy Love 56 Jolly Happy Us
~Liam~ After the call, Justin joined us and seemed to be laughing. I did not know what was funny, but I suspected something was happening in the room where the others were. "What is going on?" I asked Justin. "Marvin isn't having it easy with Alpha Devin. Lord Alexei was cool about Elaine being here, almost as if he expected it, but Devin hasn't taken it easy. He demands that Layla hop on the next available flight back to Mountain, and he also says she is grounded," Justin said. I felt sorry for Marvin, but we all knew that would happen. Alpha Devin had explicitly explained that he would not allow his children on this mission. I wondered why Layla felt it would be okay to defy her parents despite the kind of father she had. "Marvin asked me to speak to Alpha Devin, but I refused. Even I did not want to be on the receiving end of his wrath. Marvin is trying to see if he can get Uncle Leo to speak to Devin. I told him good luck with that because I doubt Uncle Leo will get involved, b
Puppy Love 57 Settling In
~Harper~ Coming to Grizlo was just what my soul needed. Liam had come through for me, and I was grateful. I knew I should have opened up to my twin about how I felt, but how could I when I knew he had personal issues that he was dealing with. Talking to Liam about my problems would have been selfish because I knew he would somehow find a way to shoulder my burden. Had I known he had somehow healed and moved on, I would have told him how I felt. I respected Liam for staying committed to the cause even though his heart had changed course. I always knew it wouldn't work out between Sophia and Liam. They were the definition of our parents with their exes. They were just too close and spent so long together to ignite a spark. The fact that Liam could be rational about Sophia said it all, but he also needed to put himself out there to discover this on his own, and somehow, he did with none other than Josephine. I had never seen Josephine so full of life as I saw her when we arrived
