“We've been summoned,” Kelvin announced as soon as he walked into Liam's office. It was expected, there had been several human deaths after the death of the mayor.Humans were dropping like flies, the bite mark on their body being the same as the one found on the mayor. Apparently, the canine of the killer was poisonous, causing instant death to its victim with just a bite.Liam still couldn't connect the dot, nor was he able to point out the killer. Whoever it was, was very skilled at getting away with murder, even his advanced sense of smell couldn't sniff out the scent.It was all uncanny, yet very disturbing. He had not been having enough rest since it all started. It started after the annual ball, which Liam thought was too broad to suspect someone. However, the rest of the humans dying had no political position. He could try and take a wild guess on the killer's purpose, he or she wanted to cause an uproar in this seemingly perfect world. And the person had achieved just
“You called me here?” Olivia furrowed her eyebrow in annoyance. She had thought she was going to be reprimanded for her late coming or something else. She never imagined that Liam could be the reason why she was being called up.She should have known. The disciplinary committee weren't at the top floor of the company, the top floor was majorly for the CEO, her tiredness must have blocked her sense of reasoning.“Yes” Liam replied, folding his hands behind his back, exuding arrogance despite being wrong for tricking her like he did. He knew she would not have come if he had called her himself, he needed to see her. It wasn't just because of the killer he was investigating about, it was also because he cared for her, and wanted to see how she was doing. She looked like she saw a ghost in that recording, and now she looked really pale and sick, she didn't look well at all.“Are you ok?” he couldn't help but ask, concern written all over his features. He fought to keep his hands to himse
The wind was blowing violently that evening, its roar whizzing through the air like it had been doing all through the day. Olivia, still in her office wear, rushed into her car, planning to get home before the rain could start.The day had been strenuous, after walking out on Liam in his office she had dived straight into work despite how tired she was. She could not let her work pile up just because she wasn't feeling too well. Olivia started the car, its engine hiccuping like a gasping swimmer, struggling to stay afloat. It was an old vehicle, one Olivia wasn't planning to change any time soon.She drove away from her company carefully, her eyes fixed on the road to avoid an accident. She had always been a careful driver, Henry had once told her that a grandmother would drive faster than she does.Olivia chuckled to herself in amusement as the thought swiped into her head. She was a bad driver and she knew it. But then, her excuse was that her car couldn't go too fast. It w
Olivia was shivering so hard now, her body was shaking conclusively. She tightened her hands around her tummy, while whispering incoherent words to comfort both herself and her baby.She winced at the sound that came next, it was a screeching sound like he was scratching the car with the baton in his hands. If there was a way for her heart to beat faster than it already was, then that was exactly what was happening.It was as if the stalker was hunting a prey. He was trying to scare her as much as he could before doing any other thing. She didn't know what he wanted, all she knew was that she was afraid.Liam was still not available, she wasn't even sure he would be able to get there on time before she gets brutally murdered. He could be somewhere far away for all she knew, she needed to protect herself and her baby with utmost urgency.Then an idea popped into her head, an idea she shouldn't be considering, only she was. The thought of taking it on appeared plausible enough.
Silence saturated the air, no one willing to break it. Olivia was at the passenger seat beside Liam, her hands folded together on her laps, depicting her uneasiness at being in an enclosed space with him after what just happened between them in the rain. His touch still lingered on her body, especially his warm breath on her erect nipple, though her clothes were wet, she still felt hot all over at his electrifying touch. Liam cleared his throat awkwardly, the silence between them deafening, he casted her a glance, and watched from his side eyes how tense she was in his vehicle. His car's engine thrummed steadily down the road, both hands on the wheel while he drove. Realization then dawned on him that he was just driving, he hadn't asked her where he should be driving her to. “Where am I taking you?” His hoarse voice broke the silence between them. Olivia jumped at the sound, it was unexpected. “My bad!” She proceeded to give him the address to Henry's house, she couldn't sta
Liam whipped his head around to look at the source of the voice, he was shocked to see who it was. Was her name Vivian? Or Vanessa? He couldn't recall. She was one of his pack warriors, she also worked part time at the children's clinic. Not that he knew everyone in his pack, it was quite large with a variety of different people. He had about five gammas to oversee the activities of different metropolises.She was just that kind of person one couldn't forget easily. He had found her cheerful demeanor and gentle outlook very admirable. She was also his sister, Diane's friend.However, he found her unexpected presence in Olivia's house very astonishing. Given Olivia's hatred for werewolves, he wasn't expecting her to have any friend of that kind. Except he was getting the whole picture wrong.“It is Liam Wagner's car” Henry scornfully announced, pointing his soil stained hand at Liam, who was still staring at Ivy like he just saw a ghost.“I'm also surprised that he's here. He came wit
“what do you mean no?” Liam queried, amazed by her disapproval.Olivia removed her face from his grip and gazed at him with hardened eyes. “What does no means Liam?”“You can't possibly be saying no to my request” Liam exclaimed, disbelief overshadowing his look.“I am. My answer is no” Olivia insisted.“Why?” Liam asked, furrowing his brow.“Liam, you are married. Your wife is expecting a child. I will not be a homewrecker and drag your attention away from your child” She deadpanned. “But the child you are carrying is my first child. My heir, he or she deserves all the attention it gets from me” Liam replied, not planning to retreat. “No, you don't get it,” Olivia whispered. Tired of having to explain herself, but also not about to give in to him.“YOU don't get it Olivia. It is also my child” Liam said. “Don't start this please. Just leave” Olivia muttered softly. “Olivia” Liam called.“LEAVE!” She yelled, irritated by his non stop pestering.Blood rushed into Liam's ears, e
“Where did you say the car was again?” Henry bellowed from the door.Olivia was in the living room, preparing herself to take Henry to the place where her car had broken down. He had promised to call a tolling company the next morning after they had a deep conversation the previous day. She had confessed to meeting Liam and everything that happened between them. She had also informed him about her stalker and how Liam wanted to be present in the child's life.Henry had scolded her for having sexual relationship with a married man, and of course, became over protective of her when she told him about the rogue. He made her promise to buy a new car, one that wouldn't disappoint when she was in danger.Henry didn't say anything about Liam's interest in being in the baby's life. He said he didn't want to be in the middle of their cross fire.Olivia sighed aloud, tired of everything happening in her life, before responding to Henry. “It's just down the road, the lonely path surrounde
