“hello ma'am” Olivia turned around.

Her blood froze in her veins when she saw the source of the voice. Her body–having a mind of its own–paralyzed in fear. She hadn't seen those eyes in over twenty years, she was petrified.

Her heart beat accelerated, her body shook with suffocating fear, her mind was in disarray, her emotions weren't left behind.

She thought she had forgotten about him and the rest of them. She thought she was over it and had put the past behind her. But now that he was right there in her view, her memory came back with full force.

Oh! Those red bloodshot eyes, she could never forget the eyes. How it flamed with thirst for blood, how it ignited while he snapped their head off, she could never forget.

Her hands clenched to tune out the images. Anger at what he did to her parents surged through her like an angry wave before a storm.

“Hello ma'am,” the man repeated. This time, his lips curled into an evil smirk, a sparkle of devilishness glinting underneath. He knew

    “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

    #End of flashback Olivia inhaled slowly as she opened the door, she leaned on it with the hope that the creaking of the door wouldn't make any noise. She wished she could sneak out without anyone knowing, or maybe just get swallowed up by the floor that she wouldn't need to face the people in the kitchen, let alone Liam who couldn't seem to get his hands off her. Only it did make a noise and Liam looked up to stare at her. She had changed her clothe to a large flowery gown that enveloped her belly, the colour of the cloth reflecting beautifully with her eyes. Her hair was let down just the way he loved it, and this time he couldn't stop staring at her face which he found hard to do just some minutes ago.Liam turned to face her fully, gesturing for them to go back to the room to talk. Olivia hesitated a little bit, an enclosed space together with Liam was a really bad Idea given their chemistry.“It's Important” Liam muttered, though his hands were itching to get close to her an

    #Flashback“Diane! What did you perceive?” Liam pressed again, refusing to let it go.“It was….it was the smell of a….of a Loup-Garous” Diane stammered fearfully, her skin crawling with unease.“What?” Liam muttered under his breath, completely enveloped with shock. It was impossible. The last time he heard, the creatures had gone into extinction before the start of the great war eighteen years ago. What the hell was going on?***Liam opened the door to the prince's chamber without being ushered in. He was clearly uneased by what he heard from Diane. It had been on his mind for hours, and he couldn't help feeling the heavy weight on his chest, so much that he couldn't fall asleep.“What the hell man? You can't just barge into my chambers without knocking” Elijah exclaimed, gesturing vehemently to show his annoyance. He was just in towels, his wet hair giving him away; he had just emerged from the bathroom.Liam and Elijah were childhood friends, they'd been friends their whole life.

    Liam loathed the sight before him. Olivia was in nothing but a towel that was so short that it exposed her thigh, while Max was pinning her to the wall with his head held close to hers. Liam clenched his fist fiercely to hold himself back, he wanted to break the arms pinning her to the wall so bad. He also wanted to teach Max a lesson for touching someone he placed under his care. He had rescheduled his meeting with the parliament earlier on, just so he could get back to the states on time. He wasn't back fully since the insecurities were yet to be dealt with, he just wanted to make sure Olivia was safe and fine. He needed to confirm for himself even after his sister had assured him that she was ok. His mind had not been at rest since that night’s incident.His visit to the states was impromptu, not even his wife nor parents knew he was coming. He had planned on meeting Olivia quietly and depart the same day in such a way that Max would be the only one who knew about

    Olivia opened the door to the suite curiously to see Liam's sister standing there with a wide, gentle smile on her face.She scrutinized her from head to toe, her gaze lingering at the familiar box she held in her hand. “Want some pizza?” Diane bellowed as soon as the door opened, raising the customized domino nylon in her hand. Olivia could only nod, as she was caught by surprise at Diane's unexpected presence in the suite. It had only been a day since she dropped her there and left, she had thought that it would be the end of their ties.Diane strolled into the suite and straight to the kitchen, dropping the box of pizza on the sparkling counter. “Have you eaten today?” She asked, and leaned against the counter towards Olivia, who had followed her in and was now opposite her.“Huh?....yes” Olivia drawled nervously, still a bit shy in her presence. “What did you eat?” Diane pressed on, this time with a teasing smile on her face. Despite Olivia's visible discomfort, s

    Chapter 44 Valerie got into the elevator, clicking the button that would take her down to the door and out of the pack house. She had changed her cloth to a more sophisticated wear, her red jumpsuit giving the intimidating impression she wanted to pass across to anyone in her way.Her phone beeped noisily, dragging her attention away from her thoughts. She reached into her white handbag to search for it, aware that she was still waiting for her PI's response on the location of the stalker.While rummaging through the bag for her phone, an old picture of hers fell to the ground. Valerie groaned palpably, clearly frustrated. How hard could it be to reach into her bag for a phone?She bent to pick the picture, and stopped when she saw who was on it. She was suddenly gripped by nostalgia, old memories flooding her mind.It was an old picture of her and her late mother, they were both on a ferris wheel with their chocolate filled teeth exposed and grinning from ear to ear.

    Diane walked away from the lawn and back to the patio, her gaze on Olivia and her protruded belly.She suspected the baby was her brothers, and she was happy for him, though it would cause a mess once the news got into the wrong hands. She was just glad Valerie's baby wasn't the heir, that was if Valerie's baby was even his at all.“Alright guys, we are taking her to a hotel” she announced then turned to Olivia “Max will follow you inside to pack little of your things. Important things” Diane stated, emphasizing on the last sentence.Olivia and Max walked into the house while she stayed at the lawn for everyone to be ready so she could lock the house. She sat at the comfy chair on the patio, and thought of the news she delivered to her brother. Was there a possibility that she perceived a loup garous scent? She still couldn't believe it. Loup garous were meant to have gone into extinction. They are a special breed of werewolves with very special abilities. They move faster,

    Liam couldn't breathe. His heart was beating so fast that he feared he would get a heart attack. He was so scared, pictures of Olivia lying in the pool of her own blood kept flashing through his mind at intervals. As each minute passed by without a call from Diane, the more his anxiety increased. He couldn't lose her, no he couldn't. The first thing that popped into his head when the call ended abruptly was getting Olivia to safety. He had blocked out all other thoughts of sanity from his head when he called his sister, Diane, to go in search of her. He had given her strict instructions to take Max and Anthony along. Those were two of his most trusted gammas. He knew both gammas together with his sister would never snitch on him to anyone about Olivia, that was the main reason he chose to call them instead.He jumped immediately to answer the call when his phone rang. It was Diane.With bated breath, he answered the call. “Hello”“Hi Liam. I'm at the house” Diane's voice ran

    “Olivia” Liam called out“Olivia” He yelled, his voice echoing through the kitchen where Olivia had dropped the phone. Enveloped by worry, he jumped from where he sat on the bed, and began to pace his room, bellowing her name frantically. The murderer snuck out of where he was hiding behind the counter, cursing the pot that fell in his mind. He creeped quietly to where the phone was lying on the floor and clicked the end call button.Dropping the phone on the counter, he proceeded out of the kitchen to search for his prey. He had worked hard to put her in this corner and wouldn't want anything to get in his way.Just a while ago, she had been watching a movie; smiling and talking on the phone with no care for the world. That was what he loved about assassinating someone, the ignorance. He had been watching her right from the time she got back from the grocery store. He had watched her clean the house, cook a meal, before settling on the couch to watch a movie. She didn't know h

    Grace's car stopped in front of Henry's house, where Olivia directed her to. She glanced at Olivia beside her. “We are here,” she announced. Olivia gulped down, nodding her head in response. “Thank you” She appreciated, before reaching for the door handle. “Hold on” Grace stopped her. She extended her card to Olivia who leaned in to collect it “That's my card. Call me if you need help with anything,” She said. Olivia muttered a thank you, stepping out the door to stroll into the house. The journey to her house from the mall had been filled with awkward silence. Grace was a lovely woman, no doubt about that. Just that Olivia always found it hard to connect with people and form friendships. Both of them didn't even speak all through the ride, and when Grace had asked her any question, her reply had been quick and clipped. With her plastic bag in hand, Olivia struted to the door, looking back to see Grace watching her all the way. She inclined her head as a form of apprecia
