Author's POVAriana watched as her daughter stumbled towards her with a sneer on her face. The hate Leila has for her was too visible, she can't help to hide it. She couldn't blame the girl, Jesse had poisoned her mind so much to make her look like the bad egg. If only Ariana could explain the whole truth of the reason behind her leaving at first, her relationship with her only child would be sorted. She regrets every moment of not taking Leila along with her. The only reason, she had returned was because of her, the rumors she heard about Leila getting involved with Elizabeth Hemsworth son. Her eyes had been on Leila for a complete year, Ariana couldn't stay put and watch her daughter's life be ruined. Folding her arms against her chest, Ariana raised a stern brow at Leila. “ And where do you think you are coming from, young lady? Isn't this too late?” Leila took a sturdy pause, an amused look on her face. She tipped a little, due to the alcohol she had indulged in on her way bac
Kira's POVI had arrived a bit past my usual arrival time at the gym, all because I had woken up late. My prayer had been answered that I wouldn't get to see Xander while I snuck in. Turns out I wasn't the only one who had enjoyed the sleep a bit too much. When I heard sounds down the gym and I asked Miguel who it was, he had told me about the new customer they have been having around for days. I have been missing him because of how early I turn in and also leave before others start arriving.What I wasn't expecting to see was a perfectly shaped body, complimenting it was a face so smooth and tanned all I want to do is trail it with my fingers. “You could take a picture. I really wouldn't mind.” The voice melted like butter. My goodness! Who is this man? Even Ayla couldn't deny his good looks. Xander is no where close. I cleared my throat, realizing he was referring to me. “Oh, sorry. Hi. I didn't know anyone would be here at this time.” I mumbled gently, trying not to stutter. H
Author's POVThe whole room fell into a pit of silence, as they stared at the laid out paper in front them. Elizabeth fumed heavily as she stared at it. She couldn't believe her eyes. “Are you playing with me right now, Declan?” She blurted. Declan stared round the room like he was in the wrong place. His mother's eyes that trailed his every move like a predator marking its prey. She won't listen to whatever he has to say. To worsen it, he has nothing to say. Elizabeth growled again, “you had better have something reasonable to say about this?” “I… I…don't know mum.” Declan stuttered in response. Leila was practically laughing her head off at the mother and son duo. She had prayed to the goddess that Elizabeth would end up being disgraced over her need to take control. If only she knew it would be this soon, she wouldn't have bothered herself about worrying. The blueprint of the pack house design turns out to be fake. The said architect could not read any meaning to it. Even aft
Xander's POVThe papers in front of me seem like they were written in an odd language, I can't seem to figure out a thing. Aside this one, I can't figure out a lot of this. My father's company on one hand, and my supposed mate, Kira. I can't tell exactly what is going on in that pretty head of hers. Since the new guy who had registered into the gym through Miguel happens to be in town, her attention has been on him. If I knew this would be the outcome of his presence. I would have cancelled his membership that very day. But, if I keep sending off customers, how would I get to pay Miguel his deserved pay? It would have fared well with me if Carl as he is called had chosen every other time to come to the gym. Instead, he comes at the exact time Kira comes to train. And I have never wanted the attention to be on me like I craved for it now every morning. I thought it's said that, when you are mate with a person. No one else comes first except you. Mine is an exception though, the memb
Xander's POVThis had better be important like you claim it to be, Miguel.” I said, in a coarse voice. Getting my already planned moves ruined, didn't sound like fun at all. And I could hear Kira's jesting giggle behind me as I left. Entering the office, I picked up the call.“Yes.” I mumbled into the receiver.“Hello, good morning. Is this Xander Hemsworth, the heir to Hemsworth group of companies?”I rolled my eyes, I can't remember when I was ever referred to as an heir to anywhere. “Yes, who am I onto?”“This is Alfred Pierre, the legal consultant to the company. It has come to my notice that the board members, which consist of the shareholders of the company, are intending to sue Mr. Declan Stolkhom for indulging in some fraudulent activities with the companies monetary funds. Your signature is the last thing we require.”“How is this any of my business?” I inquired, yawning in disinterest.There was a long pause, I could almost imagine him taking the phone off his ear to affirm
Author's POVDeclan tapped his foot on the ground nervously, his palms were sweaty. He couldn't imagine his whole life going up in flames just because he listened to everything he was told by his mother. Everything came back to haunt him and not her.“Can you stop doing that, Declan?” Elizabeth scoffed in irritation. “You are not in my shoes mum, you can't tell me what and what not to do in this situation. Please.” Declan retorted. “What do you mean by that? Haven't I been here all this while, trying to help sort things out?” She defended. He snorts, “it would have been much better if you were the one in my shoes. It would have been easier to deal with. Can't believe this.” Declan hit hard at the table in front of him. Elizabeth could feel his pain. The only thing is she didn't feel guilty one bit. Knowing how cowardly, Declan is. She couldn't risk having her name being put out for being involved in fraudulent activities as regards her late husband's company. Declan's involvement
Kira's POVI am in a perplexed situation with two different men, one that I would love to rip his heart out and the other whom I would prefer to say my wolf Ayla loves so much. Even though I do want to jump into a nice cozy bed with Xander, I really don't want to get ahead of myself and have him humiliate me. It's our wolves wish to be in each other's arms, but considering the past the both of us have had encountering each other. We still aren't totally comfortable around ourselves. But, I'm sincere truth. I love his company. Being around Declan on the other with knowing all the plans he has to ruin me, just makes me angry every time. At the same time, if I intend to get to the root of my first death, I would need to gather as much evidence as I can to go against them.Xander had involved in a recent fight with Declan, resulting in a black eye for the both of them. As Declan's fake girlfriend I need to be with him to sympathize, and as Xander's mate I should be by his side. I just
Author's POVElizabeth stared confused at the computer screen, the petition against Declan stirred right in her face. As much as her name might have been saved, she still couldn't watch her son's life get ruined. “That bastard!” She spat in distaste at the thought of Xander, refusing to help them out. Declan has been in a depressive state, constantly worried on what would become of him if nothing is done. Aside that, he has been cranky towards her. Still shifting blames, one of the things Elizabeth's hates.But, there was a limit to what she can say, knowing it's all partly her fault for encouraging is bad spending habit. Her luxurious life wasn't left out, either. To think her savings was at the lowest and there is nothing to show for the massive money being moved from the company's account. Sighing, Elizabeth stood up, looking out through her office window. Every of the staff seem to be glancing towards the office and whispering to themselves. Her eyes suddenly shot up when they
