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
Chapter 123Liam’s POV. My heart raced as I listened to Chloe's voice crackle through the phone. "He.llo...Liam...please help me," she stammered, her words filled with fear and desperation. It was unmistakably Chloe's voice. I felt a rush of angered surge through my veins as I tried to process what she had just said. Without a second thought, I turned to Lia, who was standing beside me, her brows furrowed in concern. I knew she noticed the change in my eyes, but I couldn't focus on anything else but Chloe's words."Chloe? Where are you?" I asked, my voice filled with actual concern. "Liam... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for bothering you with my problems again. I've been kidnapped," Chloe's voice trembled, and my heart sank. The weight of her words hit me like a ton of bricks, and I instinctively placed my hand over my forehead, trying to process the gravity of the situation.Lia, sensing the urgency in my voice, snatched the phone from my hand and put it on speaker. We both leaned in clos
Chapter 124Liam’s POV“I’m sorry, but I could only remember you as the only person who could help me” she finally said and my eyes broadened three fold. What does she mean by that?Chloe's eyes reflecting a mixture of pain and confusion. I couldn’t bear to see her like this, so broken.."Thank you for coming, it means a lot to me.” She says appropriately.I reached out and gently brushed a beachfront of hair down from her gash- stained face." I will always be there for you, Chloe," I replied vocally, my voice filled with sincerity." No matter what happens, you can count on me.``Her eyes searched mine, as if trying to decrypt the verity behind my words." But why?" she asked, her voice pulsing with emotion." After everything that has happened between us, why do you still watch?"I took a deep breath, trying to find the right words to express the depth of my passions for her." Because you are important to me, Chloe," I said earnestly, my heart pounding in my casket." You've always been
Chapter 125Chloe's POVHis worried expression was indicated by the furrowing of his brow as he glanced my way. "What are you trying to say, Chloe?" he inquired, his voice tinged with unease.I nodded in an attempt to dispel the feeling of foreseeing that was eating away at me internally. "I confess I am uncertain," I said with a tone colored by uncertainty. "I cannot get rid of this feeling."Liam's hand grasped mine tightly as he looked around with increased alertness. "Remain by my side," he insisted, his voice brimming with resolve. "We will get through this as a team."However, while he was talking, a feeling of fear descended upon me like a burdensome mask, smothering me with its heavy pressure. I couldn't get rid of the sense that danger was nearby, waiting to attack when we least expected it.While we kept walking, I couldn't ignore the sense of being observed, the feeling of eyes piercing into my back like knives. Each shadow seemed to hide a hidden problem, every rustling of
Chloe’s POV. My head was throbbing and my stomach twisted in pain as I slowly opened my eyes. Everything around me was pitch black, and a surge of fear rushed through my mind. I reached out and felt for the wall, desperately searching for a light switch. Finally, my hand found it and with a flick, the room was illuminated. A sigh of relief escaped my lips.I couldn't help but wonder if I had been trapped in a never-ending dream. Why did it have to be about Liam? It was so foolish of me to let my mind wander to him. It would never happen, I knew that.I held my head, trying to remember when I fell asleep. Then it hit me. It was right after Scott helped me kill that snake. I shuddered at the thought, hoping there were no more lurking in the darkness. Thankfully, there were none in sight. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves.The Outside remained dark, and I couldn't help but wonder what time it was. Was it the middle of the night or had the night just begun? With a heavy sigh, I deci
Liam’s pov. My mind was restless, and I couldn't help but worry about Chloe. I doubted if she had treated her wounds.I'm not sure because I know what Mendy is capable of.I couldn't get her off my mind. I stood up from the seat on the bed, grabbed my t-shirt from the closet, and stormed out of the room.Even though my Rogue, who was still celebrating the victory, and Lia were inside the room, they kept calling my name. But I refused to look back. I didn't think I was ready to tell them what was on my mind.I walked down Chloe's street, my heart nearly leaping out of my chest. It took me just 8 minutes to reach her street.When I arrived at her door, I wanted to knock, but what I heard froze me in place. I'm not sure what caused the argument, but Chloe's dad's statement left me speechless. My heart raced faster and faster."Dad, please don't send me out. I don't have anywhere to go, please. I promise to do everything you ask me to do," I heard Chloe's voice pleading, filled with tear
Chloe’s POV. I couldn't believe my eyes as Lia led me out of the house. My mind was filled with questions about how she knew what was happening and how Liam was involved. I looked at her, searching for answers, and saw a loving smile playing on her cheeks.I wanted to speak up and ask her what was going on, but my voice seemed to escape me. I tried to find the right words, but they eluded me. My body trembled with a mix of fear and confusion. As I pondered my current situation, I realized that now that Lia had taken me away from my dad's house, where could I go? The last place I wanted to be was Liam's house. I couldn't bear the thought of stepping foot through his door.I stopped walking, causing Lia to halt as well. She turned her gaze towards me, curiosity in her eyes. I mustered up the courage to ask, "I'm sorry, but where are you taking me?"Lia released her grip on me as if she had just considered the question herself. She scratched her head, deep in thought. "Come to think of
Chapter 55. Liam's POV. "Where are we going to?" Asher inquired curiously making me wonder what exactly the problem was. I was waiting to see what could be done concerning these children because they seemed to have a stronger mind of their own. Courtesy of their mother. Chloe influenced the kids because that was the only reason they would ask me such deep questions like adults. "When we get to this place, I want you to be well-behaved. If not, I'm going to take you back immediately," I told both of them Aria looked up at me, inspecting my eyes. "Are you serious right now?" My eyes widened at her language. Again Chloe was to be blamed. "I don't understand what exactly you are talking about but I just want you to be mindful of whatever you are doing." "Tell me what exactly you want. You cried that you wanted to come with me, and I allowed you, and now you're asking if I'm serious? Spare those languages for your mom." Asher looked at me as though I had said something
Chapter 54 Chloe’s POV My heart beat faster as I watched Chloe fall down on the floor, my eyes widened. At first, I thought she was joking until I used my leg to tap her ass, and she refused to lift her body up. “Chloe, stop joking and wake up. Stand up right now!” I lamented, praying for her to get up, but instead, her body remained on the floor. My heart started beating even faster. “Dad! Mom!” I heard a voice from behind, and I turned only to find Aria walking toward me, her brows furrowed. “Dad, what happened to Mom?” Her small voice yelled as she ran to Chloe, leaning beside her and tapping her forehead. “Dad, she is hot! She is feeling hot!” she screamed, and I had no option but to lean toward Chloe and touch her forehead. She felt like somebody who had just been pulled out of hot water. Sweat erupted out of my body as I raised my gaze up. “Aria, stand up. Go to your room. I will be back, let me take Mommy to the hospital,” I said, and she nodded, though she hesitated fo
Chapter 53 Chloe’s POV I hesitated, unsure whether I should assist Liam or not. My gaze lingered on him, filled with a mix of anger and resentment. Initially, I decided to leave him to his fate, but when he groaned in pain, my resolve wavered. I turned back to him, and a wave of sadness washed over me. Reluctantly, I chose to help him. I approached him, bending down to his level, and gently assisted him to his feet. I tried lifting him up, but he seemed heavy. No matter how hard I tried, he kept falling back onto the floor. I didn't know what to do as sadness bubbled up in my mind. I sat down beside him with a trembling body. Tears streamed down my cheek, I didn't know why or what made everything change suddenly. The Liam I got mated to is not the one sitting beside me. The Liam I know would never go out and get himself drunk. The Liam I know would never raise his voice at me, no matter what the situation was. But the one sitting on the floor was totally different. I cleaned th
Chapter 52 Chloe’s POV The silence in the house feels suffocating, and the thought in my chest refuses to lift no matter how much I try to distract myself. The kids are upstairs playing, and I sit alone on the living room couch, staring blankly at the window side. How did we get here? I run my hands through my hair, frustration building as the memories flood back, Liam’s words, his accusations, the bitterness in his voice when he said I’d caused him to lose so much. Every time I replay it, I come up empty. What did I do to deserve this? Where did I go so wrong? Blaming myself is easier than facing the possibility that Liam might be wrong. If it’s my fault, at least I have some control. “Mama?” I heard Asher voice, interrupting my thoughts, and I look up to see him standing at the edge of the room, his wide eyes filled with concern. “Yes, sweetheart?” I say, forcing a smile that feels like it might crack my face. “Are you okay?” He asks, walking closer. His small hand reaches
Chapter 51 Liam’s POV I slam the door behind me, my breath was heavy with anger. Each step i took away from Chloe feels like I’m putting distance between myself and the chaos she brings, but I know it’s a temporary reprieve. Her face lingers in my mind, etched with defiance and hurt, and it only fuels the storm brewing inside of me. I head to the trails behind the house, hoping a run will clear my head. The cool air hits my face as I start, my feet pounding against the dirt path. My muscles ache in ways they haven’t before, and my breath catches, uneven and unfamiliar. Something feels… off. I slow to a walk, pressing a hand to my chest. It’s not just physical, there’s a shift deep within me, something I can’t quite place. My wolf stirs uneasily, a low growl vibrating at the edges of my consciousness. “What now?” I mutter aloud, running a hand through my hair. My wolf didn’t answer, but his presence is stronger, more persistent. It’s like he’s trying to tell me something, b
Chapter 50Chloe’s POV My heart trembles and tears stain my lash. Hearing him calling me a weak wolf makes me more. “Is that what you want, Liam?” My voice is soft but trembling in a way that I could even hear. I search his face, desperate to find something, anything that might make sense of the mess we’ve become.He falters, just for a second. His lips parted as if he were going to say something, and for the briefest moment, I saw the man I was mated to. The man who once held me when I was breaking. But then, as quickly as it came, it’s gone. His jaw tightens, and his eyes harden like steel.“I can’t keep doing this,” he mutters, running a hand through his hair. “I’m tired of everything, I remember…” His voice trails off, and I can see the wheels turning in his head.“Remember what?” I ask, stepping closer. “What is it, Liam? What have I done that’s so unforgivable? Just tell me so I can fix it.”His eyes snap to mine, and the anger there burns like fire. “Fix it?” He lets out a b
Chapter 49Chloe’s POV“Yes cheating, did you think I don’t get to find out? Did you think you married a good!” His voice was sharp cutting through the stillness in the house. “Wha…t are you talking about?” I asked unable to comprehend what I was hearing. “I can’t believe I ever let you into my life, you cheat!” His voice is sharp and the weight of them feels like a punch to my chest.I flinch, my breath hitching as I process what he’s just said. “Liam, I—”“Don’t.” He raises his hand to silence me, his gaze colder than I’ve ever seen it. “Just don’t. I made the mistake of trusting you at first, a huge mistake. You—” he gestures toward me with disdain “—you’ve brought nothing but chaos into my life,” he breathed out heavily. My mouth opens to pronounce something, but no words come out. For a second, I’m stunned. Hurt. But then the anger sets in. “You don’t get to talk to me like that,” I say, my voice trembling but steady.He narrows his eyes. “Don’t I? After everything, you thin
Book 2 Chapter 48 Author’s POV The weight of Liam’s words cut deep into her heart, each syllable striking Chloe like a physical blow. She stared at him, her breath catching in her throat. “What do you mean by that?” she demanded, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and disbelief. He didn’t answer. Instead, he busied himself with his phone, scrolling through it as though she weren’t even there. The casual indifference in his actions ignited a fire in her chest. “Liam!” she snapped, stepping closer. “What do you mean I’m overreacting? Say it to my face.” He didn’t even look up. The phone in his hand buzzed, and before Chloe could say another word, he answered it. “Mendy,” Liam said, his voice softening, a stark contrast to the irritation he’d shown Chloe moments before. “No, it’s fine. Don’t worry about it. She’s just being dramatic again.” Chloe’s heart stopped. Her chest tightened as the words registered. He’s talking about me. She stood frozen, every muscle in her body
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
