In The Arms Of The Bad Boy Alpha
Chapter 51

Beta Levi's P.O.V

I parked my car in front of the same shop where Julie saw the girl that looked like Amber entering. This was the same shop where Leo's mate Lily and our future Luna, Asher's mate also worked part time jobs. Alpha Gabriel was still out of town for work, but Julie's discomfort was not allowing me to sit comfortably, so I came here by myself to try and find the girl so that I could calm Julie down. I had to see who that girl who looks like Amber was. It was a quiet evening and as soon as I entered the shop my eyes were looking for that girl only. I knew Lily would not be working here tonight because Leo said that he was with Lily at this time. Well I wanted to see Lily as well as Luna, but both went out with Asher and Leo. I had discovered that there was a farewell party for Asher, Leo and the other senior students tonight. Four to five girls were working in the shop, but none of their faces looked like Amber. I did not understand why seeing any of these girls' faces Julie would get the illusion of seeing Amber. "Sir, What can I help you with?" A man came in front of me and I was sure that he had to be the manager.

"I am looking for a girl. She has black, long, thick hair. She has big eyes and is very beautiful. Do any of the girls with similar looks work here?" I asked, instead of turning around the matter, I immediately talked about the issue because I had to return to the pack as well. "Sorry but I cannot give you the personal information of the employees," He told me, smiling.

"I am the uncle of this shop owner and father of Leo. I want to know about this girl as it is important for me," I informed him, placing my ID in front of him as evidence, and as soon as he saw the ID he immediately bowed respectfully in front of me. "Please forgive my mistake, sir. I did not know about you." He said, afraid of losing his job.

"No problem. Now I want to know about that girl." I replied, immediately speaking about the issue at hand.

"Where there is talk of beauty, all the girls here are beautiful and everyone has big eyes, but there is only one girl with long, thick black hair," The manager explained and I asked him the girl's name. "Bella," He replied and I was surprised to hear this name as it was the same name that Asher had given as his mate's. It can only be coincidental, but I had to confirm it.

"Can I see the ID of that girl from when you hired her? Or a photo of her?" I inquired looking at his office room.

"Sorry, but she quit this job yesterday, her personal information register suddenly disappeared from the office one day and was never found again. So I can't show you her photo," The manager revealed. I just wanted to kill him. What useless person could not keep a copy of an ID?! I did not say anything to him but left the shop. After all, why would a thief steal only that girl's information register? This whole thing seemed somewhat strange as well as Luna's long dark wavy hair and the description of her was the same as that of Amber. So was what Julie was saying true? But it was also not right to tell Alpha Gabriel without proof as I had not seen the face of that girl myself. I did not understand what to do. Julie did not even know that I had come here, so I thought it appropriate to keep this to myself until the appropriate time comes. Should I not see her face in CCTV cameras? Lily's P.O.V

It was past eleven at night and after having dinner at school, I was feeling very tired and sleepy. I thought about going back home in Victoria's car, but Leo forced me into his and insisted on giving me a lift home. I could not refuse him as I also wanted to spend more time with him.

"Are you very sleepy, Lily?" He asked, looking at me yawning.

"To be honest, yes. Sleep is my weakness. I am even sleepier due to exhaustion," I told him as he stopped the car on the side and went inside a coffee shop. After a while, when he came out, I saw two coffees in his hand.

"This coffee is for you. Now we have a long way to go so I would like you to stay awake and keep talking to me." He explained, having a sip of his.

"But I have seen in movies that at such a time boys say to girls to go to sleep, but you brought me coffee? You are not like them," I teased him, having a little fun, but I had no idea that this fun of mine would be overshadowed by me. Opening his seat belt, he immediately climbed on top of me and snatched the coffee from my hand and pinned both hands over my head. By the time I understood what he was trying to do, it was too late because he was kissing me passionately. "What are you doing?" I asked, nervously.

"I am answering your question." He replied, kissing my lips again and I opened my mouth accepting his tongue invitation.

"If you fall asleep I won't be able to control my wolf. You can stop me while you're awake, but if you fall asleep I won't stop without finishing what I have started," He clarified, upon hearing what he said to me indirectly, my throat got swollen. "Do you want me to f**k you in this car while you are sleeping?" He asked as I began to chew my lower lip.

"No, please don't..." I replied immediately.

"Alright then. So now finish this coffee like a good girl and don't make the mistake of sleeping until your home comes," Leo warned, fearing that possibility I immediately nodded and with a devilish smile he pulled himself back to begin driving again. For a few seconds I remained stunned as I could not understand what had just happened to me, but as soon as he glanced at me again, I instantly took coffee in my hands and started drinking. He was dangerous! I screamed in my mind and did not let the emotion appear on my face. After almost half an hour's journey, I reached near home and I had not made the mistake of dozing off for a single second. The car was on my street and I had a big smile on my face.

"Why do you seem happy? I am trying to drive the car slowly here so that I can spend as much time with you as possible, but you are looking very happy when you are about to leave me," Leo grumbled angrily, I promptly controlled my smile.

"No, you're thinking wrong," I lied, though I really wanted to run inside my house as soon as possible because I was guessing that he would try to do something when the car stopped. He quickly stopped the car after hearing me.

"Really? If so, don't go home tonight," He pleaded, as he once again started moving towards me as if a small child moved greedily towards his favorite candy.

"Stop it. I am feeling sleepy. I'm going home." I said, immediately putting my fingers to his lips in order to stop him from kissing me. He sat back in his seat, the anger and frustration clearly visible in his face.

"I am going," I stated, as soon as I placed my hand on the handle to open the car door, he grabbed my hand.

"Aren't you afraid of being at home alone?" He asked, suddenly talking about fear I was entangled in his talk.

"Fear? Fear of what? For the last eight years, I have always been alone because whether Oliver lived in the house or not, it was the same," I divulged, presenting to him the truth of my fearlessness. Which was absolutely legitimate. Hearing me, he shook his head coming close to me to speak softly in my ear.

"Looks like you miss understood me..." He whispered as if a third man was listening to us.

"What do you mean?" I also whispered thinking that someone around was listening to our conversation, that was why he is behaving this way.

"I mean ghosts!" He replied, making his voice heavy and frightening.

"What did you say? Ghosts?" I asked, surprised as soon as I heard the word.

"Yes ghosts! Beautiful girls who live alone at home, the ghost harasses them very much at night and I am worried that there may be a ghost in your house too! So I hope I will stay with you in your house so that I can protect you from the terrible, scary ghosts." He gave as an excuse, making his voice even more terrible, as soon as he finished his sentence I rolled my eyes. I immediately pushed him back, using my finger on his forehead.

"I agree that I am an i***t, but not as much as you think I am. If there is someone who is the biggest and scariest ghost, then you are the one who I would never make the mistake of inviting to my house. So stop making excuses and go home," I teased, rolling my eyes while saying this. I saw his sincere and sad face for the last time as I got out of the car. I do not know how he so rapidly transformed his face from clever, handsome, and sexy into a sincere one.

My heart wanted to invite him to my house right this second, but I controlled myself as I knew what his purpose was. He did not drive off in his car, I saw that he had crossed his arms over his chest as he watched me walk towards my house with a long face. I smiled softly at seeing his stubborn behavior. Was he really expecting that I would invite him in? It was his mistake not mine. As soon as I reached the main door of my house my steps stopped because I was very nervous. In panic, I put my hand over my mouth, Leo may have seen me doing this.

"What happened?" Leo asked, instantly getting out of the car and was very serious. I pointed to the main door with my finger telling him that the door of my house was open and that I had locked it before I left. Leo immediately grabbed my hand pulling me closer to me as I watched him sniff the air.

"Who's in my house? Is there a wolf like that day?" I asked, but he shook his head.

"No, there are two humans in there," He explained.

"Two humans?" I repeated, surprised as I was the only one who stayed in this house now that Oliver had left.

"Are they thieves?" I wondered.

"I don't know, but I will learn what is going on when I enter the house, until then take my car keys and sit inside, do not come out until I say it is safe to," He instructed, having placed the car keys in my hand, he hurriedly entered the house exactly like a epic warrior who was not afraid of anything. How could he expect me to leave him in such a dangerous situation while I just sat in the car and waited for him? It had only been five seconds since he went in that I followed after him. After all, it was my house! I saw Leo as soon as I entered the house. Perhaps he had smelled me as he instantly looked back at me.

"I told you to wait for me in the car outside, where it was safe," He grumbled at me harshly..

"I know, but this house is mine and if there is a thief here, you will not face him alone, we will face it together," I told Leo, not understanding why he had a smile on hearing me.

"Well the idea is not bad. I don't want to do anything without you, but I want to do many more things, I'm just waiting for you to say yes to me," He confided, using innuendo to get his point across while I behaved as if I did not understand him, but I could not stop my smile. That was when I heard the sound of someone descending the stairs, it meant that both the thieves had been in my room and were coming out from there. Leo became alert again and was ready to attack as soon as the two thieves came down. One was a man and the other was a woman. My eyes widened at the sight of one of them.

"Mom!" I exclaimed, I could not believe I was seeing my mother after so many years.

"Lily," She called, I could not control myself and immediately embraced her. She was back.

"Mom, where have you been for all these years? Why did you leave me?" I asked, I didn't even try to control the flow of tears from my eyes. After so many years, it was a big thing for me to see my mother alive, standing in front of me. I never thought that she would come back to me. I pushed myself a little away from her, but I was slightly disappointed that she was not hugging me back. She was only standing there like a statue. Was she not happy to see me? Why was she not smiling?

"Who is this boy?" Mom asked me directly about Leo who was standing behind me. She did not look happy to see him either.

"Surely the rich boy here would be your daughter's boyfriend." An unknown man standing behind Mom said, I was enraged to hear him. He was being rude calling Leo a rich boy.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" I asked him, but I got the answer from Mom.

"Hold your tongue, Lily! This man is my husband," Mom reprimanded me. She got angry and grabbed my arm so hard that it was painful, but this pain was nothing in comparison to the revelation that this stranger was my mother's husband. "You got married? When?" I asked, I was hurt more than shocked. I did not even know about it.

"Not only did we get married, but we also have a seven year old son." Once again the man spoke, revealing more information about my mother than I've learned in years. The marriage wasn't the part that was bothering me, it was hearing about my seven year old half brother that was causing me to feel as if the ground was collapsing from beneath my feet. This meant that after she left me alone, Mom immediately married this man and started a new family.

"Mom, a great many things have happened, but you haven't told me anything," I accused her, she rolled her eyes.

"What difference does it make? Does it make you happy to make me feel like a shitty mom? Did you feel that I would not marry because of you or without your approval?" Mom replied, sitting on the couch with her husband.

"No, you are misunderstanding me. I am glad you got married. I'm just surprised as I didn't know about any of this," I remarked, after listening to me, mom looked at me and smiled. Seeing her smile made me so elated that I was about to go to hug her again, but then she put up her palm, halting me.

"Don't come any closer to me, just listen to me from where you are," My mom said and hearing her cold words and seeing her facial expressions broke my heart because she was treating me as if I was some kind of disease, that was transferable via touch. I froze in my place as Mom started speaking again.

"I have packed your belongings and put your suitcase near the stairs. Take your luggage and get away from this house, never come back," My mom commanded. I was stunned listening to her wishes, her mind, and her new husband, but her sick twisted smile convinced me that what I heard was true.

"Mom, what kind of joke is this? I am your daughter, I have always lived in this house. How can I leave my home? Where will I go?" I asked, in complete and utter shock.

"Have I joked with you about anything that I have said today? Then how could you possibly think that this is a misunderstanding?" She replied with a cold expression.

"Nevertheless, to make sure that everything is perfectly clear for you, I will explain it to you one last time. You have been living in this house for many years, but will not be any longer. The real mistress of this house has returned and now I have a new family. I do not want to see any one from my old life while I am with my new family. I don't even want your shadow cast onto my family. I do not know where you will go or where you will be nor do I particularly care as that is all your problem. Now pick up all your belongings and leave my home," She ordered.

"Well I am sure this rich boyfriend of yours will definitely keep you," The man sneered at me with a sleazy smile.

"Yes, that is absolutely true. You have a boyfriend, one that is rich, then why are you causing all this drama with your naivete?" Mom asked. The woman sitting in front of me used to be my mother at one time, the person that I had waited for many years to return to me. I had always wished that she would come back, but I hadn't known that her return would lead to my departure from this house. My own mother has kicked me out of the house. All this had happened in front of the one person whom I had never wanted to have to see the full truth of my life. Leo. He had witnessed everything. He had learned how insignificant I truly was to my family. A person that no one wanted. Thinking all this, tears gathered in my eyes, but I did not let them fall.

"Oh my god baby, Lily. Don't cry," My mother's new husband jeered coming closer to me.

"If you want, you can stay. Don't worry, I will convince your mother, but you have to call me DADDY," He said, reaching out to touch my cheek and I flinched. He was having revolting thoughts about me, definitely not as a daughter. Suddenly Leo pulled me back, the next moment he punched my mother's new husband's cheek. My eyes opened with surprise as I was not able to say anything, but at the same time my mom was so scared that she screamed loudly. Leo punched him so abruptly and with so much rage that two of his front teeth were broken. I could see two more teeth on the ground.

"OH MY GOD!! WHAT THE f**k DID YOU DO TO MY HUSBAND!!" She shouted at Leo.

"Ahhh..." Leo growled in frustration, sinking down so he was level with the screaming person on the floor. He pulled him up by his collar until they were face to face.

"I WAS LISTENING TO YOU AND YOUR WIFE f*****g TALK FOR SO LONG THAT I COULD NOT CONTROL MYSELF ANY LONGER!! SORRY FOR THAT BUT THE MISTAKE YOU COMMITTED TOWARDS MY GIRLFRIEND IS NOT FORGIVABLE!! HOW DARE YOU LUST AFTER HER!! WAS THIS THE HAND THAT YOU TOUCHED HER WITH!!" Leo shouted, I saw that Leo was going to break his jaw, seeing he had already broken every bone in his hand. He was shouting in pain and mom was shouting in fear.

"Lily! Stop your boyfriend! My husband will die!!!" My mom shrieked and I was so terrified watching the scene that was unfolding before me. I totally forget that I should stop Leo or he would just kill him.

"Leo, stop it," I demanded, getting closer to him on the floor.

"I don't want to. He touched you! He lusted after my mate!!!" He growled in fury again. I was afraid that mom would see his eyes.

"It's ok. I don't care. Let him go." Trying to coax him into loosening his grip on the man's jaw.

"You don't care but I f*****g care Lily! You don't have to stop me, I will just pluck his eyes out in front of your mother, not only him but your b***h mom as well!!!" Leo exclaimed, hearing his threat mom was petrified, I knew what her next move would be. She was going to call the police. I threw her phone, totally destroying it in anger.

"STOP USING YOUR OLD TRICKS!" I shouted at her, looking at Leo.

"LEO! IF YOU DO NOT LET THAT MAN GO AND FOLLOW ME THEN I WILL NEVER TALK TO YOU AGAIN IN THIS LIFETIME!!" I shouted at him. As soon as he heard me his face turned white and he instantly let his jaw go. I only looked at mom one last time, grabbed my luggage that was already packed for me by the stairs and left the house. I ran out of my own house with my luggage and walked down the road. I could not stop my tears any longer, I was crying like crazy. I could not believe my own mother had kicked me out of the house and her life as well. Just because she now had a new husband and a son she did not want me. If I had known that I would have to witness all this in order to see her again, I would never have wished for her to come back. I was not only saying this for the house, but I would never be able to forget the horrid way she had treated me today.

"Lily," Leo called as he came running up to me, maybe he had followed me as soon as he got out of my house.

"Where are you going?" He asked, snatching the bag from my hand.

"I do not know," I answered him as he clasped my hand pulling me towards his car. He threw my luggage in the back seat.

"What are you doing?" I inquired, he blocked the door, so that I could not take my bags back.

"Taking you to my house," He stated, opening the door for me.

"What?" My eyes widened with surprise. He was taking me to his home?

"Yes of course. Tonight you will stay in my house, soon I will take you with me to my pack, where my mother and all my family live," He replied. I was horrified hearing about being introduced to his mother and family. All of them are werewolves. "There is nothing to worry about. You believe me, don't you?" He asked, cupping my face in his palm.

"Yes I do, but will they accept me? I am human. I do not want to live among them as an unwanted person. I am scared I will not go to your pack either." I shook my head expressing my feelings and fears to him. He already knew that I was afraid of them. "Don't worry they will accept you no matter if you are human or not. My mother is eagerly awaiting her daughter in law," Leo divulged, as I heard the word daughter-in-law I could not hold back my blush. I totally forgot what had transpired in my house at that moment. He was calling me a daughter in law!

"Now you are smiling," He said, giving me an arrogant smirk. I just pushed him away a little.

"But I will still not come to your pack." I remarked and he frowned.

"Why?" He almost shouted in frustration.

"Because I am shy! Do you hear me? As you can see I am not daughter-in-law material, your parents will immediately dislike me." I replied, instantly he had a huge smile on his face.

"It means you are ready to become the daughter in law of my parents, right?" He asked, I felt like I was trapped in my own words. I had indirectly said that I was going to become his bride. "I did not say that," I argued trying to change the subject so that I could save my a*s, but he just kissed my cheek.

"Don't worry, I will ask Victoria and she will teach you about everything whatever you want to know about my mom or anything about my pack. Soon I will bring you to my pack, until then you are going to live with me at my house and there will be no argument." He just announced and I had to sit in his car as he had already started driving. I had not even said that I would live in his house, but he just took it that I had agreed. On the way I argued with him about it a lot, but he was ignoring me like I was not even talking. He was telling me about other things, slowly I was forgetting about my mom and thinking about Leo's house where I was going to live. I don't know what was happening, but I think this change was a bit sudden. I was going to live with a man without marriage! It was truly scary!
