Liam could not believe his ears. His mother begged valerie to marry him? What the hell? He was a billionaire for crying out loud, he could have whoever he wanted. He wasn't going to stoop so low to beg for a lady's love, even if she was his mate.“mum!” Liam exclaimed, pulling away from her. His mouth was wide open in surprise, he wasn't going to marry Valerie.“I'm so sorry Liam. I got so emotional when I heard the news, I wanted you to get your happily ever after before anything happened to me. I think I might have acted on impulse” Grace Wagner, his mother, uttered. Trying to blackmail him emotionally.“I'm not marrying Valerie mum. She rejected me” Liam blurted out against his wolf's wish.His wolf had been rejoicing in his head at the news. Except Liam blocked his thoughts out of his head, he had made a decision and he was going to stand on it.“Liam, your father and I have spoken, and we think you accepted the rejection too fast almost as if you were waiting for it yourself. You
Liam strolled back to his mother's ward with purpose. He knew what he was going to do now, he had not realized he was holding on to the hope of meeting Olivia again until he saw her in another man's arms. He was going to give Valerie another chance, he was going to marry her. It had to be done, if not for him but for his pack. His mother would be leaving the country for her surgery, even though she hadn't decided yet, he knew she would accept it. It was time for him to be responsible and put his pack before all else. He met Kelvin at the door just as he had left him, before opening the door and walking back in. “I accept” he announced to his parents who were still in the same position he had left them. “Accept what dear” His mother asked dearly. “ I will marry Valerie” He expanciated his words, folding his hands on his chest for emphasis. His wolf rejoiced in his head at the announcement, he was happy to finally reunite with his mate. Liam knew it wasn't going to be that easy, he
“Why is my phone with you?” Liam asked Valerie, his fiancèe. After accepting to marry Valerie for the sake of his pack, he had set up a date with her to clarify a few things. First of which was why she accepted his mother's proposal, he found it confusing, how she changed from not wanting the responsibility of Luna to genuine interest in the position.She had blamed it on her insecurities. She had said she wasn't in the right frame of mind when she rejected him. It was all too much for her at the time, and she was overwhelmed by it. But after she had some time to herself to think things through, and different encounters with him in the pack house, she realized she was interested in him, and she didn't want to be a coward and flee because of pack obligations. His mother's guidance acted as a beacon of clarity for her as well.Liam was satisfied with the reply, it explained most of his doubts and questions. Though he was still skeptical about why she never looked hurt all those times
Liam stared at his sister and Valerie, who seemed to be in an intense argument. He marveled at the sight before him, he couldn't believe that the loud voices he had heard belonged to them.Diane Wagner, Liam's sister, was a very gentle and calm soul. Liam had never seen her get involved in a fight, or be in any form of discord with anyone. She was the gentle dove of the family.Liam had always loved his sister for that. Growing up, he always felt compelled to protect her but she had proved to him times without number that she didn't need his protection. “What's going on here?” His voice boomed in the room, as he tried to get their attention from their menacing stare off.They both snapped their heads to him, startled at his presence. He arched his eyebrow at them in curiosity, and he watched as they both avoided his eyes.“Uhm…nothing. I have to go” Diane whispered, scurrying out of the kitchen before Liam could utter another word.His eyes trailed after her, fixed on her back as she
It felt like eternity before the elevator door opened, she was about to step in when her legs stopped her in her stride. A chill ran down her spine like a splash of cold water. She couldn't believe she was staring at him.Liam Wagner. The name resounded in her head multiple times just so she could believe it. He was right there in the elevator, dressed in a formal wear of blue tuxedo and his hair curled and waxed backwards. She didn't want to admit it, yet she couldn't help it. The media pictures did him no justice, he was even more handsome than she remembered him to be.Olivia couldn't move her legs even though she wanted them to. It was as if they were glued to the floor out of their own volition. She was shocked at his presence. He was the last person she was expecting to see. She was also confused about what he was doing at her place of work. Thoughts whirled in her head as her heart raced rapidly. It was the first time she was seeing him up close after their departure at the sh
Olivia faltered in her step as realization dawned on her. Liam was the guest everyone had been buzzing about. He wasn't just the guest of honor but also the owner of her company. Questions flooded her mind, her head a whirlwind of wonder, she wondered why she had never seen him throughout her stay in the company. It was unbelievable. She knew she shouldn't be surprised. He was a billionaire and owner of multiple businesses across the state. However, she couldn't help being stunned. She really should have guessed who he was when she stumbled into him at the elevator. What else would ‘The’ Liam Wagner be doing at her place of work.Feeling remorseful about her choice of words to him, she considered going back to apologize. Liam was the owner of the company, and he looked really pissed at her impudence, what if he fired her?Olivia could not imagine getting fired from her job when she was five months gone, it would be a disaster. On this note, she paused in her pace and with little h
Olivia turned to face her boss, astonished that he had caught her sneaking out. He could go for a detective at that rate if he could have noticed her little sneaky act.She bit her lips nervously, bracing herself for his reprimand. She had not expected him to catch her before she could successfully sneak away.“I understand you'll need to rest from today's bulky work. I stressed you out a lot and I can't begin to imagine how you feel doing all i asked while carrying that.” he pointed at her rotund belly and stretched his hands to take the files from her.“You are free to go home if you want to,” He muttered, surprising her. She hadn't seen it coming. Olivia couldn't have asked for a better boss than this one, he had always been so kind. Of course he would be, he was human after all. Call her delusional, but her theory always proved to be right about werewolves. Take a look at Liam for example.“One more thing!” Olivia halted and turned around again, curious about what he had to s
Liam hated deceit so much, and now that it was coming from Olivia of all people he felt really furious. There was a possibility that Olivia had not only used him to satisfy her sexual cravings on the cruise while she had a husband, but also had kept mute about the paternity of his child and given it to someone else.“Baby, I need to get a drink, I'll be back” He glanced at Valerie who was seated beside him at the table, and watched as she moved towards the bar, catwalking seductively. She was now his wife. Not only his wife, but also the mother of his heir. They had both announced their pregnancy to the media weeks ago, and everyone had been so excited, especially his mother. His mother had undergone her surgery, which had been successful without any complications. She, surprisingly, didn't lose her wolf, much to everyone's delight.They had gotten married immediately after she got back from her trip, and now that Valerie was pregnant, his father and mother were planning to take a
