chapter 145

Zane handed the plastic bag with the knife inside over to Anastasia and she nodded

“This will do. I'll have some of your blood as well and it'd take me at least three days to make this

weapon" Zane furrowed his eyebrows.

“My blood? What do you need my blood for?" She sighed.

"Are you the witch here or am I? You're an Alpha which means you're supposed to be the strongest

of all wolves. With your blood mixed in with whatever is in Liam's body, the weapon is going to be

magnificent” He scoffed at the excited look on her face and was about to say something when Liam

barged into the room.

“Is being obsessed with someone a bad thing, Zane?" Zane furrowed his eyebrows.

“It depends. Is it my kind of obsession with Kiara or..." Daniel shook his head then handed Zane the

photos in his hand.

“This means Liam had been watching her even when she was with me and was sneakily taking these

pictures of her. This isn't good, right?" Zane furrowed his eyebrows then shook his head.

"Of course not. We better get Heather away from him before he starts abusing her. Obsession

usually turns into abuse and it's only a matter of time. I feel like Liam is just being careful because

she's with a child but if that child turns out to be yours..." Daniel gasped with his eyes wide.

"He's going to kill her, isn't he?" Zane pursed his lips then turned to Anastasia.

“Prepare the weapon as soon as possible, okay? Liam needs to be stopped before it's too late”

Anastasia nodded and with that, she vanished.

“I need to make sure she's okay, Zane. I'm having the bad feeling that...” Zane placed his hand on

Daniel's shoulder.

“I understand you, we are on the same page but I'm meeting with Levi tomorrow and hopefully, he'll

be able to guarantee to us that they are both okay" Daniel sighed then nodded.

“I'll come with you”

Sebastian and Lucien glanced at each as they watched Levi and their father walking towards them

with smiles on their faces.

"Are you seeing this or am I hallucinating?" Sebastian whispered to Lucien.

“Are we hallucinating about the same thing?" Sebastian tilted his head.

“It may appear so" Sebastian was the first to walk towards them while Lucien followed behind him

"What is going on?" Sebastian questioned with furrowed eyebrows and Levi shrugged.

"Help father to his room. I need to speak with Kiara. Is Liam around?" Sebastian nodded.

"He arrived like an hour ago and I noticed he had blood all over his clothes” Levi frowned. Blood?

“Erm, should we be talking about this in front of him?" Lucien harshly muttered and they all turned

to their father who was just standing there with a bored look on his face.

“Don't worry. He and I have an agreement” Without saying anything else, Levi walked out on there

and they were left standing there awkwardly with their father and the several guards behind him

"Are you both just going to stand there and stare at my face?" Sebastian and Lucien immediately

straightened up then shook their heads.

“Not at all, Father. Please come this way, we'll lead you to your room" They turned to each before

leading him into the warehouse.

“Is it just me or just father look less scary in casual outfits?" Sebastian whispered but before Lucien

could reply, their father spoke up.

“I'll show you just how scary I can get if you keep whispering about me" They both froze up and

Lucien shook his head.

“Nope, he's still scary”

As soon as the guards guarding Kiara saw Levi, some rolled their eyes while the other sighed.

“You are here again? You have five minutes” They muttered before walking out of the room.

Kiara let out a laugh as Levi walked towards her.

“They didn't even bother arguing with you this time" Levi chuckled as he pulled a chair forward and

sat down.

“Well they should know better by now. I just wanted to see how you were doing. I'm still not

comfortable with the fact that you are here all by yourself” She smiled.

"Well because of you, I'm not in pain anymore and I'm well fed. The only thing missing is a bed to

lay on but I don't mind as long as this is over soon" He nodded.

“It will be, I promise you. No matter what happens, I'll try my best to keep you safe" He muttered

then grabbed her hand and gave it a little squeeze.

“Be careful, they can hear you" He smiled.

"Everyone in this damn warehouse knows how I feel about you, even Liam so saying something like

this isn't strange at all. We will be going into war soon and no matter what happens, I just hope you

stay safe and happy. This will be the last time I'll come visit you because I'll be very busy starting

from tomorrow but I'll make sure Lucien or Sebastian check in on you daily and give you food,

hmm?" She frowned.

"Why do you sound like we are never going to see each other again? We are going to win this, I can

assure you that and...”

“But I'm not going to win you, Kiara. Even if we win, you'll go back to Zane and you guys will get

married and have little ones. I can't just stand by the side and feel sorry for myself so after this, I'll

be moving back to Italy with the mafia so I can give you space” She shook her head as tears fell

down her cheek.

“But.. but I would like you to stay here. You have become someone very special to me, Levi" He

smiled sadly.

“But if I stay here and watch you live your life with another man, I'll be sad. I'm not saying I won't

come to visit, I will but I just can't stay here. I need to take a break from everything and just get

away. But I'd still like to be your kid's godfather" She giggled slightly with tears flowing down her

cheek

“That's for sure. I would have hugged you but you know, I'm tied down" He chuckled then wrapped

his arms around her.

“You don't know the kind of impact you had on my life so thank you. Thank you for saving me that

day and thank you for always making me feel welcomed and loved. Thank you for making me know

I'm capable of falling in love with someone. You'll always be special to be Kiara and I wish you

nothing but happiness” He murmured then placed a soft kiss on her cheek before getting up.

He wiped away her tears with his thumb then flashed her a smile before walking out of the room.

As soon as he was out, he glanced up at the ceiling with a sigh as he tried to stop himself from

crying. They needed to focus on the matter at hand and that meant he had to keep his feelings at

bay. He needed to stop showing his weakness.

As he walked up the stairs and was walking down the hall when the door beside him suddenly

opened, making him pause in his step.

Heather walked out and he froze when he took in her appearance. Her hair was messy and her eyes

were puffy which indicated that she had been crying. Not only that but she was clutching onto her

torn dress so tightly.

When his eyes met hers, all he saw was hurt and sadness.

“Levi” She called out to him with a soft voice and before he could reply, she collapsed to the

ground.

"Heather" He screamed then ran up to her and gathered her in his arms

Liam walked out at that minute and his eyes widened when he saw Heather laying on the ground,

unconscious.

"What did you do to her?!" Levi screamed as he glared at Liam who just looked guilty and shocked

at the same time.

“I didn't... I wasn't..."

"You better hope nothing happens to her or else I won't care what kind of monster you are, I'll make

sure you bleed even if it gets me killed!"...
