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
Author’s POV. "Dad, why did you let Liam allow Chloe to sleep at his house? Can't you just tell him not to let her stay there?" Mendy asked, her anger simmering beneath the surface.The thought of Chloe sleeping in Liam's house, the place she had considered her own, filled her with a mix of frustration and worry. Who knows what could happen before tomorrow morning? What if Chloe forgives Liam and he declares her as his Luna? What would become of her then? These thoughts raced through Mendy's mind, making her feel uneasy."I don't have the authority to make that decision. Liam can do as he pleases, even if it means letting her stay at his house forever. But one thing I know for sure is that Chloe won't be stepping foot inside this house again, But You know Liam loves you, not Chloe. Just try to calm your nerves, Mendy. Liam is all yours, and you don't have to worry about anything," Mr. Richard reassured, but his words didn't bring the comfort Mendy sought.She nervously bit her nails
Author’s POV. As Scott pushed open the door to the store, a wave of shock washed over him. The scene that unfolded before his eyes was beyond anything he could have imagined. Three men, filled with malice, were attempting to harm his Mate. She lay on the ground, tears streaming down her face, pleading for mercy. The sight of her disheveled clothes and the vulnerability she displayed made Scott's heart ache.In that moment, Scott's shock transformed into a surge of protective instinct. He couldn't stand idly by while this injustice unfolded. With a deep breath, he summoned every ounce of courage within him and stepped forward. The store itself mirrored the chaos of the situation. Shelves were knocked over, merchandise scattered across the floor, creating an atmosphere of disarray. The dimly lit space only added to the eerie ambiance, casting long shadows that danced on the walls.Scott's mind raced as he assessed the situation. He knew he had to act quickly and decisively. His heart
Author’s POV A rustic cabin nestled deep in the woods, surrounded by nature's beauty. Inside, there's a small room with a cozy bed where a young guy in his early 25s is lying down. His face is scrunched up, as if he's struggling to open his eyes. Maybe he just woke up from a deep sleep or is feeling a bit groggy. It's a simple room, with wooden walls and a window that lets in a soft, golden light. The air is filled with the earthy scent of the forest, creating a calming and peaceful atmosphere. Outside, you can hear the sounds of birds chirping and leaves rustling in the wind.As the guy slowly regained consciousness, his eyes fluttered open, only to be met with darkness and an eerie silence. His heart raced with fear, his mind racing to make sense of his surroundings. In the stillness, he could hear the distant call of a bird and the gentle rustling of leaves outside. With a surge of adrenaline, he mustered the strength to sit up on the bed, his body trembling with a mix of anticip
Chloe’s POV. With a blink of my eyes and a repeated heartbeat, I stepped inside Liam's house. The moment I crossed the threshold, the music abruptly halted, and all eyes in the room turned towards me. A wave of shyness washed over me, making it difficult to decide what to do next. My fingers nervously fidgeted, and my heart danced to the rhythm of my racing thoughts. Should I step forward or turn back?"Come in," Liam said, reaching out to hold my hand and guiding me further into the living room. I bod and follow him behind. I took a Sit on the chair, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness swirling inside me. “Did you care for a drink? Or You will freshen up first?” Liam asked but I found it hard to form a response. The unexpectedness of the situation left me speechless. “Follow me,” Liam gestured for me. I frowned my browse contemplating weather to follow him or not. "Stand up and follow him," Lia said, her voice urging me forward. It felt like she had some sort of power
Chloe’s POV. My hands cupped my breast and my jaw fell as Lia took in my naked body with his bare eyes. I felt the enormous to infiltrate inside the floor but I couldn't. “I'm sorry,” Liam declared before rushing out of the room. I found myself sitting on the floor, my body trembling with a strange mix of emotions. I struggled to make sense of what had just happened. "What... just... happened?" I stammered my voice barely above a whisper. Crawling back to the safety of the bathroom door, I tried to stand up, but my body betrayed me. Weakness consumed me, making it impossible to regain control.My mind raced with fear and uncertainty. What if someone entered the room again? I couldn't bear the thought. With a surge of strength, my legs found their footing, and I hurried towards the door. Locking it behind me, I let out a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of temporary safety.Returning to the bed, I collapsed onto it, seeking solace in its comforting embrace. My index finger found it
Chapter 124. Chloe's POV. "So, you mean this is the antidote to the potion my sister used on him? How did you even know that something like this existed?" I inquired from her, inspecting the bottle from back to front. Sophia let out a soft chuckle, "of course I know because I have a background in medicine. I wouldn't really call it that because not everyone who tries their hands at many things, has an idea of what this might be, but whatever the case may be, I guess we don't have to worry our heads about anything.""Yeah, right. So what am I supposed to do with it?" I asked, trying to sniff it to see if I would understand a thing happening here, but it didn't work."You are supposed to just pour in a drop in his tea or coffee so that it works slowly. If you do this consecutively for fourteen days, this might help you to get rid of whatever has settled down in it to his subconscious." She explained to me. Sophia had been nothing short of a blessing to me because immediately I broug
Chapter 123.Author's POV. Sophia bent behind the trees as she waited for Mendy, who had delayed coming out. Glancing at her watch, she began to hiss. How long would it take for mendy to cross over from her house to this arena? Was she hoping that she got caught by Chloe? Mendy arrived with the rustling of bushes as her boots scrunched through them. “I'm sorry for the delay. I needed to sort out a few things so that I didn't get caught. I hope that no one saw you when you were leaving.” “Can we abandon that and move to the reason we are here? I have been able to get her to trust me, what is the next step?” Sophia caught Mendy off. “You shouldn't speak to me in that manner just because you are doing me a favor. In case you have forgotten, you should be thankful that I gave you this opportunity.” “As if I am doing this for you.” Sophia thought inside of her but wouldn't dare utter those words so that she didn't sound opportunistic and make Mendy suspicious. “I apologize, I am on
Chapter 122. Chloe's POV. Confused as hell but didn't want to sound or look like I wasn't polite, I looked away watching the person who was talking staring at me as I tried to figure out what exactly she was saying. "Do I know you?" I inquired, raising my eyebrows a little higher than necessary. "I don't think that you do but I do know you. You are Luna Chloe. One of the best people that we have ever had to grace our arena. I'm sure that a lot of people would regret ever coming against you. You are one of the sweetest people that I know."I recoiled, "okay, back up for a second." She chuckled softly before even advancing towards me, making me a little worried and wondering why this person was so bold to come closer when I had practically told them to stay away. I knew that some people were bold and would not desist unless there was a great reason for that. I had more than not expectations when it came to mingling with people "It would be nice if you introduce yourself after sa
Chapter 121Chloe's POV. "I think that teacher Mendy is one of the best assets to this school. She has been nothing but great to the children, especially how they behave and address people nowadays." One of the parents said. I laughed at their ignorance of the truth. How would anyone in their right senses ever think that my sister was the best thing to happen to their kids? "Haven't you listened to the way your children speak? Do you think that that is the right way things should be done? If you think so, then I would have to question everything that you represent and I'm not even joking about that." I said with so much anger. "That is the basic truth. My daughter had not picked up when she started until Miss Mendy took her in and then made her life beautiful. I know that there might be some issues between both of you but it doesn't change the fact that she is one of the best teachers over here." Another parent spoke. "She has records of people who come to give her accolades. Su
Chapter 120. Chloe's POV. Heading back home was a delight but at the same time also a problem because all I could think of in that moment was how I would be able to handle the situation perfectly without looking helter skelter or being in a dilemma Deciding to go and check up on my kids turned out to be a disheartening move, as I suddenly began to think of everything that had gone wrong. My kids deserve the best but I had not given this to them, not because I didn't want to but because I just didn't have the capacity to do so. Firstly, I encountered one of the teachers at the gate who was looking at me as though I was here on a wicked mission, this was probably the effect of my sister's methods on making everyone see me as the bad guy. "I want to see mendy." I told her, watching her bow immediately and rush off I didn't waste time going after her, passing by mendy's class I heard her teaching the kids on how to be disrespectful even if it was not as instructive as sh
Chapter 119. Chloe's POV. "What happens if I do not have his belongings with me?" I asked, holding my breath, in case things didn't go the way I expected it to."You might have to find it at all cost because then there is a huge problem than we might want to admit. I don't think that there is anything right now, but even at that we can find a way around it. I've got some new ideas." Bryan answered instead of the lady, making me wonder why he was so particular about me finding Liam's things. I wasn't at ease with the new development and would rather just relax and watch things play out naturally, but I also wasn't going to negate the fact that he might be speaking the truth. Helping me in fact was one of the greatest things anyone could do for me and I appreciated his efforts but, I was a little bit skeptical. "I don't want us to do anything that could potentially harm Liam in the future. I just want an antidote to be found in the potion and nothing more." I reiterated, so that th
Chapter 118.Chloe's POV. "Where are you?" Bryan spoke into the earphones I had plugged in. I bent in the bushes, avoiding contact with the patrol guards. It wasn't news that they would not stop until they were able to find out who was out of the house. Liam and I had not crossed paths since the last time we spoke despite living in the same house. Immediately I made peace with myself that he was under an influence. I no longer saw his offenses. Instead I saw him as a man who needed to be careful and that his ex was going to get him. Anyone else could be mad at the recent turn out of events but not me, I knew what I needed to do and was ready to do it nonetheless."I don't want anyone knowing that I'm meeting up with you that's why I'm hiding but as soon as I am able to push them away, trust me when I say that I would come out." I said with a small smile. I knew that I had in some way it made him a little bit happy but I needed to continue fervently. If I allowed this opportunity
Chapter 117.Chloe's POV. Staying for my people was definitely easier said than done because why did I feel like I was missing out on a lot of information when Brian told me to stay clear. To some people, it might mean the world to them but to me, it only made me feel a little bit anxious, and also saddled with responsibility of looking over my shoulders, hoping that everything was going on right.If I had the opportunity, I wouldn't have ever dealt with them. I decided to also take laws into my hands. I needed to find out what my sister was so particular about that made her ignore the brutal signs and go for something that didn't even make any sense whatsoever. I also hated the fact that she could get away with it. Lucy's call came in almost immediately as though she had been monitoring what I was thinking of. "I know that you must probably be thinking of that your god-forsaken sister, you don't need to worry about her instead we should worry about other things." She urged me. A
Chapter 116 Chloe’s POV Unknown: meet at location at map. Immediately. I stare down at my phone, a little startled at the message and very confused. The message came just as I am about to head to bed. A simple text with barely any words, and a simple location, that immediately disappears the moment I finished looking at it. There’s no sender, the number is hidden and unknown written in the usual robotic sans of my phone. There is no way I am supposed to find out who sent the text but somehow it just clicks. Everything from the way it was sent, to the style of the writing screams that the sender whoever it maybe didn't want to be found, or have anyone trace them. Although I know better than to guess just who they are, I couldn't help but know that this was Byrans doing. After everything he was always on alert and would never plays games, still looking at my phone with the image long gone and a simple text indicating that I have already opened the message, I contemplated whether to
