Chloe’s pov. My mind raced with a whirlwind of emotions. I couldn't help but replay the scene in my head, where I heard Ryan's roar of pain. I was certain that he was the one who got shot. Tears streamed down my face, leaving wet marks on my cheeks and staining my clothes.If anything were to happen to Ryan, I would blame myself for eternity. He did everything he did to protect me from Jax Dean, and I couldn't even do a single thing to save him from Jax. The guilt weighed heavily on my heart.I turned my head back, hoping to catch a glimpse of him, even though the cab I was in had already put some distance between us and Jax's pack. I held onto a glimmer of hope, praying to see Ryan again.Taking a shaky breath, I turned my head back to face the front, only to lock eyes with the driver through the rearview mirror. His gaze bore into me, filled with curiosity and concern. I stared at him for a moment, contemplating whether to respond or not."Are you okay?" the driver asked, his voice
Chloes’s pov. I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins as I watched Jax and his goons step out of their car. My heart skipped a beat when I saw them shoot the man who had brought me to the hospital. The sight of his lifeless body lying on the ground, blood seeping from his wounds, sent shivers down my spine.Tears welled up in my eyes, uninvited and unstoppable. I desperately tried to open the door, but one of Jax's henchmen blocked my path. Liam quickly shut the door and ordered the driver to start. I glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Jax pointing towards our car. His men wasted no time and hopped into their vehicle, tailing us with relentless determination."Let's switch seats," Luke suggested, his voice filled with concern. I couldn't even find the strength to respond. All I could do was cry, my tears flowing freely. Luke gently pulled me up, guiding me to his seat, and took my previous spot beside the mirror."Why are you crying?" Lia asked, her voice filled with
Chloes’s pov. I watched as Mendy shared an intimate hug with Liam, and my heart couldn't help but ache with hurt. It felt like a dagger piercing through my chest.Then, Scott passed right by me, heading towards Liam, as if we had never met before. It was a painful blow, considering how I thought he treated me like a brother. What had happened to our bond? Why was he suddenly acting like a stranger?"Welcome back," Scott greeted Liam when he finally reached him, causing Liam to break the hug with Mendy. Liam replied with a simple "Thanks," and Scott nodded in response."Scott," I called out under my breath, and he turned back to me with an annoying look on his face. Mendy also shot me a glare, as if I was some insignificant creature. It felt like a betrayal. We used to be like a family, but now they were acting distant and cold. If it had something to do with Liam, at least there was nothing between him and me anymore.Without saying a word, Scott turned back to Liam, flashing a brigh
Chloes’s pov. My heart raced as Mendy's words sent a shiver down my spine. I looked at her, trying to comprehend if she truly meant what she said. My voice trembled as I mustered the courage to ask, "What did you just say?" My eyes met Liam's, and I could see the same disbelief reflected in his expression.“I said I guess your laughter will increase when you realized how your foolish behavior took away your grandmother” Mendy repeated her words, and tears welled up in my eyes, uninvited guests of tears that betrayed my emotions. I blinked, and the tears spilled over, a bowl of sadness streaming down my cheeks. I struggled to make sense of her statement, my voice shaking as I asked, "What... what are you talking about?"Slowly, I turned my gaze to the front, my eyes piercing through the rearview mirror to meet Scott's eyes. But he only looked down, his silence speaking volumes. I shifted my focus back to Mendy, and the laughter that once danced on my lips was now replaced by tears.I
Chloe's POV"Liam!" I increased my voice as dread and cold filled my spine. A snake.. there's a snake in my room."Liam!!" My voice echoed through the quiet house. I heard a slight rumbling before a door clicked open.Apparently, it was the wrong door because Mendy walked out of it instead.The lines between her brows were creased and her lips were pressed into a tight line. Well, it was always in a tight line."Why are you going about screaming Liam's name, by this time?" She asked and I held myself from rolling my eyes.That's what she's concerned about. That I'm calling Liam? Hell, the guy was once my mate before she came around and snatched him."I'm not going about, I'm just right here" I bit out. I could already spot a headache coming along. It always does whenever I talked to Mendy.She huffed, crossing her arms in front of her chest."I don't care if you're going about or not, just stop calling Liam" She said and I huffed, eventually rolling my eyes."What's your problem with
Chapter 120Author's POV"What are you saying?" Chloe asked, staring at Liam. She doesn't get the fact that Liam is asking her if she wants him back as a mate.That was literally the most impossible thing right now. Not with the fact that everyone knew he was dating her sister Mendy.Why would he ask her of such thing?"Do you want me back as a mate?" He asked and she rolled her eyes." That's such a dumb thing to ask, seeing you're already with Mendy" she said and he shook his head." I kind of want you back" he muttered and she straightened up, recoiling from him."I don't want to have anything to do with you again" She said and Liam raised a brow. He doesn't understand what she's saying.He remembered vividly how she pleaded with him the day he rejected her, he was giving her a chance to be with him and she was flipping him off?"Chloe..."" Please," she held up her hand to stop him from saying what he wanted to say next."I mean it, I don't want to have anything to do with you rig
Chapter 121Chloe's POVI slowly opened my eyes only to see nothing. Why was it suddenly dark? A light headache throbbed behind my eyes.What had happened? Did the house suddenly lost power? It was never dark in here.I dropped my head back and blinked. Fuzzy memories flashed in my head and I groaned as it only added to the headache.And then it came, the memories came in a rush. I closed my eyes and tried bringing my hands to my head, only to see they were tied.Tied. The hell!I wriggled my hands some more in a desperate attempt to free them but it wasn't working. Whatever was used to bind me dug into my skin as I struggled to free myself.Fuck it. Who'd taken me? Where am I?"Shit" I bit out, trying to feel myself although pain shot through me."Stop struggling against the ropes" My wolf Gaby, hissed and with an angry sigh, I relented."Where's this place?" I asked, it's been long I talked to her. I made sure to always ignore her and I never shifted ever since Liam rejected me.She
Chapter 122Liam's POVMy nostrils flared as I walked into my house, shutting the door and climbing the staircase up to my room.I was pissed, beyond pissed at myself, Chloe and Mendy. But surprisingly, what annoyed me most was Mendy. I was tired of her bitching and constant mood swings. She was constantly grating on my nerves.Shutting my door, I undressed, my mood ruined. I had meant it when I told Chloe I wanted her back. It was lapse of judgement on my side when I rejected her.She'd turned out to be different and everything better than her sister and for fuck sake, I needed her back. Trotting into the bathroom, I delved under the shower.Grateful for the cold water, I shoved my fingers into my hair trying to think of something else aside the sting of rejection that coursed through me.Was this what Chloe felt? Even though guilt brimmed inside of me, I replaced it with the new found anger I wanted to seek solace in.Hurrying through it, I stepped out of the shower and dried mysel
