Heather pursed her lips then let out a sigh.
“I would have agreed regardless but yes, it was because of the pregnancy I agreed to marry him so quickly" Kiara stared at her for a while then straightened up.
“There's something you're not telling me, Heather" Heather but her lower lip then stood up from the couch.
“I'll be in my room if you guys need me. I'm pretty tired and just want to rest" Before Kiara could even say anything, Heather hurriedly walked away.
“She's keeping something from me," Kiara uttered as she stood up from the couch.
“Or maybe she doesn't just want you all up in her business" She frowned then turned back to Levi.
“I'm not all up in her business, I'm just worried about her" His eyes widened as if he suddenly realized how he had sounded.
”I honestly didn't mean anything by my words and I love that you always want to know what's going on with those around you so you can help them but maybe, she just wants to be by herself and sort it out herself? Heather is a smart person and I'm sure she can solve whatever problem she's going through on her own" She sighed then turned to glance at the stairs.
“It's not a matter of if she can solve it on her own because I know she can. I just… I just want to be there for her every step of the way just like she was there for me" He scratched his head.
“How about you leave her to gather her thoughts for tonight then you can question her about it tomorrow?" Kiara stared at him for a while then let out a sigh.
“Okay. I'm starving, is there anything I can eat?" A thoughtful look appeared on his face.
“Yes but everything I have is uncooked. I can either ask the cook to prepare something for us or we can cook it ourselves. What do you think?" She scoffed.
“We are both not good cooks so I don't see how that's going to work out" Levi chuckled.
“We can use this as a learning process. Come on,let's do it" She sighed.
“Don't blame me when your house gets burnt down" He laughed.
“Alright. Shall we go?" She nodded and they walked towards the kitchen.

“So what you are trying to say is that the monster seems to be after Daniel? Why?" Raymond questioned as he furrowed his eyebrows at Zane.
“That's a question we can't answer right now because we are still trying to figure out why" Zane uttered then turned to Daniel who immediately took that as a signal to speak.
“I was thinking we should use me as bait for the monster" Raymond furrowed his eyebrows then began murmuring with the other Alphas.
“If the monster is really after you then that should work" Daniel nodded.
“It would, trust me but like Zane said, the monster should know that I would be used as bait now that we know he's after me so we thought of another plan. A stunt double will be used as bait while I'll be in one of Zane's cabin the woods" Raymond furrowed his eyebrows.
“I'm sorry, what?" Zane smiled.

Kiara could feel tears rolling down her cheeks as she laughed her heart out. Levi had completely burnt the chicken they had spent hours trying to prepare and the look on his face kept making her laugh.
“Why do you look so surprised? We are both awful cooks" She uttered when she finally got herself. She wiped away the little tears at the corner of her eyes then walked up to him.
“I just didn't expect it to look this bad" She sighed.
“Let's just order in" She suggested then glanced around the kitchen with a sigh.
“Gosh, look at the mess we have made. let's get to cleaning before…."
“Before I show up?" Levi and Kiara abruptly turned towards the voice and her eyes brightened when she saw Zane leaning against the kitchen door frame.
“Zane" She called out as she ran towards him. He wrapped her in a bear hug then kissed her forehead.
“You missed me?" He questioned and she shook her head.
“Not really. Levi was keeping me company" Zane's eyes darted towards Levi and she was surprised when she didn't see an ounce of jealousy but the way he held her was possessive..
Did that mean he didn't see Levi as a threat anymore?...
