Chapter 3 Breach Of Faith

• Leia - POV
• "When does the meeting start?" Mr. Kai asked.
• "In five minutes," I replied promptly, breaking Mr. Xavier's stern expression.
• "Why don't you leave the room until we need to speak with Vincent?" Mr.Kai added. Fear lingered as I stepped outside, but I kept a close ear to what they discussed. Both CEOs only spoke about business and avoided any personal matters.
• The meeting about the companies' merger was chaotic, and the negotiations continued. My headache persisted throughout the meeting, and I felt anxious, triggering my migraine. It was hard to keep myself focused. I frequently noticed that Mr. Kai and Mr. Xavier gazed at me with stern faces. I tried not to be intimidated by their stares. At the end of the meeting, Vincent gave me a sympathetic look, and we went to get some coffee.
• "You looked like a scaredy-cat in the meeting, Leia. Next time, handle the meeting like a roaring lioness," Vincent joked, trying to lighten the mood. I rolled my eyes at his attempt, and he sighed, seeing my broody face.
• "Daisy told you about Alpha's reason for coming to our office today," Vincent asked, and I nodded. Looking around, I noticed that the scent of the Alphas was not detectable, which meant they had left the building.
• "We can't keep this under wraps," I said. "If the Alphas discover my background, you, Daisy, and I will be in trouble."
• "I hid your background if Alphas did a background check on you," Vincent replied calmly. I looked at him in surprise but couldn't ask him questions because I had many buzzing thoughts in my head.
• "Take aspirin, will you? I think you have a migraine." Vincent said as he worked behind his desk. I nodded and left for home after a hectic day. Daisy had messaged me to meet for dinner, but I declined as I needed time alone to process.
• I tried to recall what happened in the Blackmoon Pack, why my father was kicked out, and why the Bluewood Pack called him a traitor. It was all blank to me. I asked my dad about this and why I couldn't recall my mother's and my childhood memories or any of the Black Moon Pack moments. He told me I had lost my memories in an accident and would regain them soon.
• Wait, my dad locked some stored albums in a box. I decided to look through his belongings. I found the old wooden box and tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. I used a hammer to break the lock, but it remained still.
• "Come on, open up," I hissed, exerting all my strength with no success. Feeling frustrated, I lay on my bed, tossing and turning as the stern gazes of both Alphas haunted me. I got up to grab a glass of water.
• Walking past the table, I heard a clicking sound and turned to see the wooden box open automatically. I rubbed my eyes to ensure I didn't imagine things; the lock was broken. Inside the box was an old photograph of my parent's wedding.
• My mother looked beautiful in her wedding gown, and I couldn't take my eyes off her. The photo also featured another woman who seemed to be a close friend of my mother's, and standing next to my father was a man who resembled Alpha Reo of the Blackmoon pack. The woman next to him must have been Luna Sia.
• As I browsed through the other photos, I suddenly felt weak in my knees. The photo in my hand shook me to the core. It showed me as a child, standing between two young boys who looked like Alpha Xavier and Alpha Kai, smiling at me. I noticed a tag below the photograph that read "My stepbrothers," written in my handwriting.
• "No, no, no," I muttered, unable to believe what I saw. "That means those Alphas knew me and didn't say a word. Do Vincent and Daisy know about this, too?"
• I called Daisy and Vincent, but their phones went straight to voicemail.
• I quickly put on my coat and shoes and ran to their penthouse. My heart was pounding as I caught the scent of Alpha in the air. I stood before the entrance, fidgeting with my phone and pacing back and forth.
• Should I go up and help Vincent and Daisy, who might be in danger from these alphas?
• But what could I do to protect them? I was just a wolfless woman with knowledge of the wolf community. Maybe I should just run away and find a new job. After all, Vincent and Daisy were werewolves who could defend themselves.
• "Shit, what kind of pathetic creature am I, leaving my friends in danger when they're only trying to save me?" I hissed. The guards looked at me suspiciously before allowing me to enter the building.
• As the elevator went up, my heart raced with worry. When I reached Vincent's penthouse, I knocked on the door with a labored breath. Kai answered, and I yelled his name instead of his surname. He raised an eyebrow, and I gulped as his gaze settled on me.
• "Where is Vincent?" I demanded sternly.
• "Leia." Vincent came forward as Kai stepped aside. When he saw my condition, he looked concerned.
• "Daisy, come here," Vincent said, and Daisy led me into her home. Walking in, I noticed Alpha Xavier sitting comfortably on the sofa, staring at me. The situation was worsening, and I felt terrified and intrigued by the Alphas' attention on me.
• "What happened to you, Leia?" Daisy asked. I stared at her face numbly, not knowing what to say. Or was this just a nightmare?
• "You both knew who I was from the start," I asked, looking at Vincent and Daisy, who exchanged glances before turning back to me.
• "Did you get your memories back?" I looked at the unfamiliar voice; it belonged to Alpha Xavier. He stood up as he approached me, but I moved away, and he stopped.
• "No... I saw these photos." I showed them. I didn't want to answer, but my mouth worked faster than my brain could muster to play with my wits. I leaned against the wall to support my quivering legs, which shivered from fear, and I felt hurt because Daisy and Vincent had been lying to me for five years.
• "You lied to me, Vincent. When did you learn this?" I whispered.
• "I'm sorry, Leia. I learned from Alpha Xavier when he saw your picture on employee of the year photo. Alpha Xavier told me you were their stepsister and to keep a close eye on you, and I only told Daisy the truth today. She didn't know before." Tears streamed down my face.
• "What do you want from me, Alphas?" I stared at Alpha Xavier and Alpha Kai. They gawked at me, and there was no emotion in their expressions for me to read through my blurry vision.
• "Why don't you take a seat?" Daisy spoke cautiously, with a sad gleam in her gaze. She approached, but I swatted her hand away.
• "Don't touch me," I hissed.
• "Leia, we've both been looking for you for years," Alpha Kai added.
• "What for, to kill me too? You've already driven my father to his death. He missed the Blackmoon Pack until his last breath. I don't know why he acted like that or what happened to my mother and me," I said resentfully.
• "Did you forget you used to call us brothers?" Alpha Kai replied, this time with pain laced in his tone.
• "If I remembered everything, why would I stand here and ask for the missing piece of memory?" I snapped. Alpha Kai's eyes turned different colors as the wolf peered at me. I gulped with fear, and my legs gave out as I collapsed.
• "You are our stepsister, but I don't think you feel what we both feel—the attraction towards you, Kai, and me. We both can't resist you," Alpha Xavier said in a whisper. My eyes turned blurry, and though I tried to push the dizziness away, my efforts were in vain as the vision faded.
