Adira
âEvangeline Maitus,â I answered and she inwardly cussed.
âI know the Maitus family, of course, the Counts will love to join the two families,â she murmured.
âDesmond loves you, Monique,â I was speaking the truth, I could tell when I met him that he truly loved her.
âSo he says but heâs engaged to another. He wouldnât just go against his parentâs wishes,â
I comforted her a while longer and she started to drink.
âHear him out,â I said, looking at the phone that has been ringing. Desmond has been trying to call her but she wasnât picking.
An hour later, Desmond was at the Estate.
âIs he here or is the alcohol getting to my head?â Monique whispered.
âI see him too and Iâm sober,â
âTell him to leave,â she said, turning her back on him. Desmond took a step forward and put her hands on her shoulders.
âForgive me for lying to you,â he said. Moniqueâs cheeks were red and her hands were fisted by her side, â Monique, I love you and didnât want to lose you, thatâs why I didnât tell you about it but Iâll fix this. Iâll end this with Eva to be with you,â
âDonât do that because I donât want to be with you anymore,â Monique spat, her chest heaving.
âJust look at me, please,â he begged. Desmond was true to his feelings. Both had completely ignored me as they spoke yet I couldnât leave.
She abruptly turned around to face him and the emotions on Desmondâs face made her angry expression vanish.
âPlease let me fix this, and then let me gain your trust, court you again,â he said.
âI donât know how youâll do that,â Monique whispered, tears starting to form in her eyes again.
âIâll do it because thereâs nothing I wouldnât do for you,â he said.
I left the room and went back to my suite, noticing I received an email, I opened it. It was an email from Corey, warning me to be careful. Zion was pissed and he will attack when you least expect it.
Wyatt
Philipe was showing us the new weapons that were made and have been helpful as we have been hunting down every villa that Janice told us and we have destroyed many of them. However, we were still yet to catch Zion.
âAnd the pack?â I asked.
âOh donât worry about it, security is top-notch here,â he said, â Our guards are ready and in groups, they are stationed everywhere,â he informed me. We left the factory and went to the palace. Just then, Mother arrived with Azriel. My brother and I exchanged a glance. We were thinking the same thing. They have tried to hide it but our mother and Philipe have something going on.
âHi, son, how is it going?â Mom asked.
âPreparing, we are destroying most of his packs so he is desperate and will want to attack soon,â I inform her. She took a deep breath.
âI just hope it doesnât come to battle, people will die,â
âItâs war Mother, people will die but all we can do is reduce the number of death on our side,â
âWeâll win, donât worry,â Azriel assured confidently. She smiled at him, I admired their relationship, I felt they were closer.
We concluded and I stood up, wanting to spend as much time as with my mate when I remembered something,
âAzriel you canât be in the frontlines,â I informed him. He looked offended as he asked;
âWhy?â
âYou donât have a wolf, â I said, we may not have been the best brothers but I didnât wish him dead, or injured, not having a wolf put him at a disadvantage.
âI can take care of myself just fine,â he growled. I knew that, he was strong, really strong but I refused to risk his life.
âYouâll be the leader of a group,â I told him, he g*****d, glaring at me, and was about to retort when my mom put a hand over his.
âWyatt, You can just tell him that youâre worried about him,â Mom said, smiling at me and I snarled, leaving the office.
Mila
My sons, I worried about them constantly, but Iâm glad that their relationship is not as bad as it was. Even though Wyatt knows that Azriel is in love with Adira, he chose to trust them.
I was elated when he worried about his brother getting injured but he had so much ego to tell him the truth.
Azriel looked at me before glaring at Philipe.
âWyatt pisses me off,â He murmured.
âHeâs just worried about you,â I told him.
âYeah, whatever, we should go out for lunch,â Azriel said, and I stared at Philipe, we had plans. Azriel g*****d.
âYou fall in love and youâre already abandoning your son,â My heart skipped a beat in my chest. How did he know I was in love?
âYouâre not too subtle, when youâre trying to hide a relationship, donât make it obvious that youâre trying to hide it,â he smirked. My mouth formed an o shape.
âAre you mad at me?â I asked and he smiled gently at me.
âNo, you deserve this happiness, Mila,â he said and I hugged him. Even though he is not my biological son, I love him as though he was mine and I showered him with all the love his real mom couldnât give him.
âThank you,â I told him. â Does Wyatt know?â
âAs I said, itâs pretty obvious,â he said and to Philipe, he jabbed a finger in his direction
âIf you ever hurt her; Iâll tear you apart before Wyatt could even reach you,â he warned and Philipe raised his hand innocently in the air.
âI will treat her like a Queen that she is,â My handsome man promised.
âYou better, old man,â Azriel left the room and I smiled at Philipe.
Iâve loved Philipe for years, he was so kind and gentle towards me and I knew he had feelings for me too but none of us acted on them until recently when we met in Italy.
âThose sons of yours drive me crazy almost every day, now they will still drive me crazy even out of work,â He grumbled, pulling me by my waist and kissing my lips gently, I kissed him back. We were in the middle of a hot make-out session when the door opened, and we both froze in horror.
âOh no! Mom! Philipe! In my office, seriously?â Wyatt closed his eyes. Before Wyatt could scold us further, Adira entered the room and pulled him away from there.
âHave fun!â Adira called and we burst out laughing.
âNow Wyatt will make things pretty difficult for me,â Sighed Philipe.
