Chloe’s POV

The silence in the house was unbearable, and I could feel the weight of everything pressing down on me. It had been a few days since I’d decided to take action against Jax and Mendy, but I hadn’t received any information from my contact. Nothing.

The nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach grew every minute that passed without a word. The longer I waited, the more uncertain I became.

I sat in the study, staring at the space in front of me, and the quiet hum of the house around me. The kids were at school, and Liam was busy with meetings, he had enough to deal with without me adding to it. I didn’t want to bother him. I knew he was working hard to protect us, but it didn’t feel like enough. Not with Mendy and Jax scheming behind our backs.

I tried to focus on other things, even though my mind kept drifting back to the problem at hand. I had so many plans, so many things to do once Mendy was no longer a threat. But it felt like a luxury to even think about those plans when

    Chloe’s POV I headed straight for Scott’s place, my heart pounding. I barely registered the drive. I just knew I had to talk to him, had to get some answers. My mind replayed the conversation with her contact. I got to the door and rang the bell. It took some minutes before I could hear the response and the creak of the door came live, Scott opened the door, his face lighting up with a surprised smile when he saw me. “Chloe! You here?” He gave me a warm hug. “Well, she had come at a good time,” his wife, Nora, called out teasingly from the kitchen. “I’m almost done cooking!”Despite my rising heart I still managed a small laugh. Scott grinned and pulled me inside. “Come on.”But I couldn’t smile, not really. The moment the door shut behind us, that hollow feeling returned, gnawing at me. I felt like I was drowning in a mixture of anger and sadness, and Scott noticed. His eyes flicked from me to Nora, and concern etched all over m his face.Nora must have picked up on it, too, beca

    Chloe’s POV My fingers clenched around the steering wheel as I glared at the road ahead, barely seeing anything but red. Every instinct in me screamed to drive straight to my father’s house and demand he tell me everything, why he’d kept Mendy hidden, what he’d been thinking. I decided to call him and immediately I dialed his number, my phone rang with another call, interrupting me.I stared at the number, inhaling loudly before picking up. “How’re you doing?” Lia’s voice sounded in my ear, she didn’t waste time with greetings, and I wasn’t surprised. My mouth opened, and I took a shaky breath, feeling the anger and frustration bubble over. “What’s happening? Why is your breath shaky?” Her voice held a hint of concern. “Lia, I’m so angry right now, I don’t even know what to do with myself.” I paused, pressing a hand against my forehead. “I feel like… like everything is falling apart.”“Oh! Just take a breath,” she soothed. “Why don’t you come over for a bit? Let’s talk about it

    Liam’s POVI gripped the phone tighter, trying to keep my voice calm as I spoke. “Chloe, listen to me, don’t be scared, I won’t let anything happen to you, and don’t stop the car. No matter what, keep moving, I will be with you soon. Do you understand?” I asked. “Yes, I understand.” Her breathing was quick. “Good.” I motioned to the guard beside me, signaling him to deploy our team immediately. “We will be there in less than five minutes. You’re going to be okay, okay?.”I dropped the call planning to grab my car key but before I could even lag my hands on the key, I felt my body tense and my mind connect to someone. Immediately I knew it was my beta. “My Alpha, we’ve got a situation. The pack’s under attack. Unknown men seem like rogues, but something’s off.” For a split second, I felt torn in two directions, like I was being pulled apart by forces beyond my control. My wife needed me, but my pack was under attack. I knew Chloe was scared, and I wanted nothing more than to be the

    Liam’s POV I slammed my fist down on the wall, the noise echoing through the room as everyone went silent. “How could this happen?” I demanded, my eyes scanning the room, watching the guard in front of me fumble for words. He looked shaken, sweat beading on his brow, but he couldn’t meet my gaze.“Well?” I pressed, feeling my patience slipping. “How was something so important left unprotected?”He swallowed, shifting uncomfortably. “Alpha, I… I don’t have an explanation,” he muttered. “We weren’t prepared for this kind of attack. They were in and out before we knew what was happening.”“Not prepared?” I snapped, letting my voice sharp. “Your only job is to be prepared. Those documents were vital, and you let them slip right out from under you.”I walked out of the room, going to the office where the document had been rubbed, tons of guard lined the way in with their sword held tight beside them. “Is the iron with you held for fashion?” I asked annoyingly and they all shook in fear

    Liam’s POV The shadows had grown longer across the courtyard, and every instinct in me was on high alert. The recent attacks were relentless, each one more calculated than the last. Whoever was behind them knew my weaknesses, hitting us where it hurt the most and using our strategies against us. Every time we seemed to gain ground, something slipped. Someone slipped.The realization was gnawing at me that someone within my walls, one of my people, was feeding Jax information.But I couldn’t afford to make it public. I had to move carefully, staying one step ahead without alerting whoever was betraying us. The stakes had grown too high.A small group of my closest allies had gathered in the meeting room, their expressions as grim as I felt. Luke sat to my right, his jaw set in that hard line he always wore when he was on edge.“We need to set a trap for the mole,” one of them began, his voice was low and edged with frustration. “We’re just sitting here waiting to be picked off.” he

    Chloe’s POV The moment Liam told me he was stepping down, a surge of anger overtook me. “Ungrateful,” I snapped, pacing the room. “They don’t even realize how much you’ve done for them, how much you’ve sacrificed.”Liam’s face remained calm, his gaze steady as he watched me vent. “I think it’s part of the role. I knew it would be this way when I took it on. Let them think what they want. Once Jax is dealt with, they’ll be begging me to take the position back.”“Still…” I shook my head, feeling the frustration coil tighter in my chest. “This isn’t fair to you. After all the work you’ve put in….”“Chloe.” He came closer, taking my hands in his, grounding me with his presence. “It’ll be fine. I’m stepping down, yes, but it’s temporary. They won’t get rid of me so easily. Besides, I need to focus on our family now. And on keeping you safe.”There was a finality in his words, a resolve that settled over me. I knew he’d made up his mind. His hand reached up, brushing a stray strand of hair

    Chloe’s POV With Liam gone, the walls seemed to close in around me. Every creak, every rustle outside had my heart racing. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was lurking just beyond the doors, waiting for the right moment to strike. So, I did the only thing I thought would keep us safe; I locked the doors shut and kept my children close by my side. Since Liam traveled, I have refused to step outside, scared stepping outside might endanger my life and my kids even though Lia and Lucy had tried changing my perspective it’s all failed, I don’t want to step outside knowing fully Jax and Mendy's eyes is everywhere surrounding me. Today, Lia had cones for a visit and I know the reason why she had come, but I don’t think anything can change my perspective. I’m not going to step out until the arrival of Liam. “Chloe, this isn’t healthy. You’re locking yourself and the kids in here like prisoners. This isn’t protection…it’s fear.” Lia's voice was sharp as he continued with her ba

    Chloe’s POV I sat in silence, staring blankly at the walls of my living room as the words Lia and Bryan had thrown at me swirled in my mind. Their voices overlapped in a constant loop, each one tugging at the layers of fear I’d carefully wrapped around myself. “You’re stronger than this, Chloe. Stop hiding” But it wasn’t only their voices, my insecurities gnawing away at me, making me question how I’d turned into someone so bound by fear.When did I become this person? When did I allow Jax, Mendy, and everything they represented to steal my courage? To rob me of the joy of simply living?The faces of my children flashed through my mind, their innocent smiles dimmed by the confinement I’d forced upon them. They deserved better than a mother who cowered behind locked doors. My hands clenched into fists as I realized just how much I’d let fear dictate my life. That had to end, now.I pushed myself up from the couch and went upstairs. I found my twins playing with their toys, but they

    Chloe’s POV The house was unusually quiet when Chloe returned. Normally, the laughter and chatter of her children greeted her at the door, but this time, only the faint rustle of maids working in the background broke the silence. She glanced at her phone as she stepped inside, hoping for a message from Liam, but her notifications were blank.Chloe inhaled deeply, forcing herself to relax. Liam will handle it, she reminded herself. He had promised to confront Mendy, and if there was one thing Liam excelled at, it was handling difficult situations. She pushed aside her worry and decided to make the most of the evening.“Mrs. Liam,” one of the maids greeted her with a polite smile, “would you like us to prepare anything for dinner?”Chloe shook her head, an idea forming in her mind. “No, I’ll take care of it tonight. I want to do something special.”The maid’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, but she didn’t protest. Chloe rarely took over in the kitchen, but tonight felt like the perf

    Author’s POVMendy’s sharp eye was on Liam, his presence commanding attention. She felt the weight of her anger bubbling beneath her carefully composed exterior, but she masked it with a small smile. Her posture was relaxed, almost lazy, as if she had all the time in the world.Liam’s expression was the opposite—his jaw was clenched tight, and his fiery gaze was locked on her. Even without his Alpha aura pressing down on the room, his presence was intimidating enough. The principal, standing nearby, cleared his throat nervously.“Mr. Liam, perhaps we can—”“This doesn’t concern you,” Liam cut her off sharply, his tone cold but controlled. He turned his attention back to Mendy, his voice steady but laced with steel. “We need to talk. Alone.”The principal hesitated, but Mendy stepped forward, gesturing for him to leave. “It’s fine,” she said sweetly, her tone dripping with false politeness. “I can handle this. There’s no need to worry.” She added. The principal looked between them, he

    Liam’s POV The house was eerily quiet when I stepped inside. Too quiet. I called out Chloe’s name, my voice echoing in the space. No answer. My eyes swept the living room, every corner tidy as usual, but something about the silence felt off. She hadn’t mentioned going anywhere.“Chloe?” I tried again, moving toward the kitchen. Nothing.My pulse quickened, an uneasy knot forming in my chest. I pulled out my phone and dialed her number for the third time, only to hear it ring faintly from somewhere upstairs. She wasn’t answering. I bolted up the stairs, following the sound to our bedroom, and found her phone on the nightstand, the screen lighting up with my name.“She left without it,” I muttered, running a hand through my hair.Panic began to creep in. Chloe wasn’t careless with her phone, and the thought of her being unreachable only amplified my worry. I sat on the edge of the bed, trying to think. She might have gone to her office. That seemed like the logical explanation.Without

    Liam’s POV The meeting room was quiet, except for the sound of the projector humming as it displayed charts and statistics. My foreign clients sat stiffly across the table, their expressions grim. I could see the anger in their eyes, the way their eyes darted nervously. They were losing faith in me, and it was starting to show.“Your warehouses are no longer safe,” one of them said, breaking the silence. His voice was sharp, accusing. “It’s like someone knows every location. This isn’t just a coincidence, Mr. Liam. We’re being targeted.” He uttered with a greeted teeth. I leaned back in my chair, forcing a calm smile onto my face. “I understand your concerns,” I said evenly, though inside I was seething. “But I assure you, my team is handling the situation. We’ve reinforced security measures, and we’re monitoring all activities closely.” I tried to reassure them but their gaze was unyielding. “Are you sure that’s enough? This isn’t just bad luck,” one of them said, his voice cold.

    Chloe’s POV The very next day, I found myself standing in front of the school, my kids clutching each of my hands. It was supposed to feel normal, dropping the kids off, and watching them run through the gates. But it didn’t. My chest tightened with each step closer to the entrance. Liam had reassured me endlessly last night, but no amount of comforting words could erase the lingering unease swirling in my mind.“Mommy, can we go now?” Aria tugged at my hand impatiently, breaking my train of thought.“Not yet, sweetheart,” I said, forcing a smile and crouching down to their level. “I need you both to promise me something. If anything feels wrong or someone says something that makes you uncomfortable, you tell your dad or come straight to me. Okay?”“Okay,” they chorused, although Asher gave me a skeptical look. He had her father’s no-nonsense expression, sharp for a six-year-old.I kissed their foreheads and sent them through the gates, my heart sinking further as they disappeared in

    Chloe’s POV The first few days of Mendy’s presence at the school had been uneventful. It was almost as if she were trying to prove herself, and I couldn’t figure out why that bothered me so much. Whenever I went to drop the kids off, she would always smile to greet the kids, praising them for every little thing, acting like the perfect, doting teacher. But the way she looked at them, the way she got just a little too close, set my nerves on edge.It wasn’t even the way she treated them that bothered me. It was how my children were responding to her. Every day, it seemed, I’d hear them tell me how great Mendy was, how she helped them with this or that, how she made them feel so special. I tried to smile, to be supportive, but deep down, a jealousy I couldn’t control bubbled up inside me. I wanted them to see me that way. I wanted to be the one they ran to when they needed praise or affection.The worst part was how they’d grown so attached to her. They came home with stories about Men

    Chloe’s POV The car engine hummed beneath me, but my thoughts were a constant, swirling storm. I couldn’t shake the image of Mendy’s face from my mind. Her too-sweet smile, her fake warmth toward my children—it was all wrong. Something about her felt off. I gripped the steering wheel harder, my fingers aching from the pressure. I needed to talk to Liam. I needed to hear his voice, to feel some semblance of calm, and also to inform him about Mendy. I pulled over to the side of the road, brought out my phone, and dialed his number.The phone rang twice before he picked up, his voice strained. “Chloe?”“Liam, I—” I stopped myself, trying to gather my thoughts. “I don’t know what to do. The principal introduced Mendy as the kids’ new teacher today. She’s been assigned to their class permanently. I can’t— I just can’t trust her with them.”I could hear Liam take a sharp breath on the other end of the line. He sounded tired and worn out, and I hated that. I hated that he had so much on

    Chloe’s POV I couldn’t stop the guilt creeping up my spine as I marched into the principal’s office, demanding a transfer for Aria and Luis. The decision gnawed at me, a tiny voice whispering that I was letting my anger control me, but I shoved it aside. My children didn’t belong in a classroom with Mendy.“I understand your concerns, Mrs. Liam,” the principal said, her tone professional but edged with impatience. “However, I must remind you that we’re the top school in the city. Transferring them now would not only disrupt their education but limit their future opportunities.”I folded my arms, my frustration bubbling over. “And I understand that you think this is the best school, but you don’t understand the history I have with that woman. She’s not safe to be around my children.”The principal sighed, looking at me as if I were a stubborn child throwing a tantrum. “Mendy has done nothing to warrant such concerns. She’s been a model professional since she started here. I’ve reviewe

    Chloe’s POV The moment the words left the principal’s mouth, I froze, every part of me stiffening like I’d been struck by lightning.“Yes,” she said, “She’ll be Aria and Luis’ teacher this year. We’re so lucky to have her, she’s been an absolute gem.”I blinked, sure I’d misheard. “I’m sorry,” I said slowly, my voice trembling with the effort to stay calm. “You’re saying Mendy is my children’s teacher? Or am I just mishearing?”“No you’re not mishearing,” the principal replied, beaming. “She graciously agreed to step in after the original teacher had an accident. We’re very fortunate to have someone so qualified and committed join us at such short notice.” She explained. I stared at her, my mind struggling to process the words. My heart began to race, panic rising in my chest. Mendy. Of all people. Why is this happening to me? “You’ve got to be joking,” I said, my voice sharper now.The principal frowned slightly, the warmth in her expression faltering. “I’m not joking, Mrs. Liam.
