Chapter 4

DUSTIN

"I've sent her away, I don't want a nanny with such personality. She might end up putting us in trouble." We need someone who's able to stick to the rules strictly.

Austin, Justin and I are celebrity actor, athlete and pop idol respectively. Coming to Aaron, Baron, Cameron and Sharon, they are public figures as well who ought to avoid scandals as much as possible.

Aaron is a celebrity author with millions of fans worldwide, Baron, a senator at the National Assembly, Cameron, a top model and our last born, Sharon who is a rocky cop. He looked most hot especially in his black and black uniform, always getting girls to throw themselves voluntarily at him during duty and off duty for an unwarranted arrest.

With this, we needed privacy, probably why we decided to keep our personal information from foreign packs.

Louise, our five year old daughter comes out of the inner room running towards us. I watch who she's going to meet among the seven of us. My heart was beating heavily, I feel like I'm in a competition with my brothers to gain Louise’ attention all the time.

"Daddy, who's that? My new nanny?" I gasp, pulling out a loud noise upon seeing her running up to me. It's evident, I'm her favorite dad.

"Yes baby, but she's not the right person for you." I didn't know she was eavesdropping on us. Nanny talks so far have been what had driven her interest so deep. After her mom's death, we'd always hired contract nannies from local agencies to take care of her. It seemed she didn't like them enough, so this time around we decided to bring a professional nanny with years of experience.

"Whyy?" She asks as she climbs on top of my laps. Justin who's sitting on the same couch with Austin reaches out to grab her hand. I pout my lips, folding my arms across my chest, turning to the back and back towards her, trying to figure out what best answer I should give her.

"She talks too much!" I let my tongue slip with this, out of the hatred I've incur for her without even thinking much. I blink my eyes in curiosity as I wait for Louise' reaction to this. I feel I made a mistake, I should've said something better.

"I like her!" I flare my eyes. Then I narrow it, wondering if she knows what she wants. "I want someone who will talk and play with me. Other nannies I had were too strict."

Before I get to respond to her, she's up from my laps and is running out of the room.

"Heyy, Louise. Wait!" I begin to chase after her but she's running at a fast speed. I believe she's a born athlete and might possibly take over from Justin. Besides we didn't even know what next she was up to.

"Hey wait! Daddy doesn't want you to go meet her now!" I shout after her, being the dad she loves most, I thought she's going to listen but she doesn't.

I stamp my feet in anger, still directed towards Alexa. Louise isn't stubborn this way, I get curious as to why she defied our calls to go see Alexa. What's so special about this lady that since she walked in, my wolf got excited. Now Louise is so eager to see her like there's some invisible force following her.

"We need to get that woman out of here as soon as possible. I perceive she has a bad influence, even on Louise who hasn't seen her before." I stress out to my brothers who follow me out of the living room to catch up with our daughter.

When we climb down the stairs, Louise is already heading through the entrance door. My heart seizes knowing next to our mansion is the road. I can't afford to lose her after losing her mother and our mate last year.

My eyes scanned over to Maurin's place behind the desk, her head was over the desk. Anger ripples in my chest.

"Why are you sleeping by this time when you're supposed to be awake?" I lash at her with my loud voice and a loud hit on the desk which forces her awake and really panting. I gesture to my brothers to go after Louise, I want to deal with this woman here who has let Alexa's influence catch her.

"Oh God, sir! I'm so sorry, Alpha." She stammers. She gets confused not knowing what to do.

"You're fired! Pack your things and go." I say, pointing to the door. "Our daughter just ran past here through the door to the road. What if something happens to her on the road and you're here sleeping, meanwhile you could have stopped her from going through if you were awake!" I say in between gnashing teeth, balling my fingers.

My anger still links to Alexa, I feel she's the cause of all this mishap. Maurin has never slept off at work before, talk less of this early morning, something must be wrong. I can't help but to let her go. If she wishes, when she has learnt her lesson, she can return to another job.

With this, I rush outside. My heart stops beating as I see Alexa holding Louise so high in the air and then clutching her so tight to her chest. My eyes trail over to my brothers, who stare at the scene with so much shock. My eyes slowly open to the truth, something I'd not noticed before now.

“Why do they look so similar?” Sharon, our last born who is claimed to be smartest asks.

“Could it be what I'm thinking?” Austin, our eldest, pokes his eyes out, freezing to the spot he stands. Tension ripples in my chest as I take a deeper look between Alexa and Louise.

“Goddess! This cannot be possible!”

Alexa’s POV

“Heyy, nanny. Hello!”

I heard a little girl's voice pull up behind me, I'd left the estate already but still praying deep inside of me for something to happen which will take my back.
