Chapter 185 Author’s POV Bryan inhaled loudly, dropping his phone annoyingly on the table and rubbing his palm on his forehead. He wasn't pleased with the call he just got from his dad. He had a lot of work to do and had planned to close late today. Besides, his only friend was in prison, probably going to court tomorrow, so going home and partying wasn't part of the mood. But he had no option; he had to go home since that's what his dad wanted, and that was unlike him. He promised to remind them of their trip tomorrow morning so they would go for a while and give him peace of mind. He checked the time on his wristwatch and it was 6 minutes to 5 PM. He quickly directed his attention to the laptop in front of him, aiming to finish up his work before stepping out. He was working on designing a wedding gown for a lady in a few days, so the lady had asked him to send her some great designs. He was still working on this when a loud sound from his door snatched his attention, and he rai
Chapter 186 Chloe’s POV. I walked back to the store, my heart beating faster and my creamy face burning with a bright red glow. I tried to cover my cheeks with my palms, but they felt hot, so I quickly removed them. What was Bryan thinking, getting so close to me like that? Did he have some kind of plan in life? My heart raced as I sat down inside the store, the 8 eyes inside the store gazing at me, each of them holding a questioning glare. "What happened, Chloe? Why are your cheeks so red?" Lucy asked, taking a deep look at my face, and I quickly tried to cover it up again. "It's nothing," I replied, my voice betraying my face, shaking slightly. "So, what did Bryan say? Are you using up to a year?" Emma asked, her eyes curious, and I inhaled loudly, unsure of where to start explaining. "Emm...emm...he..." my voice stammered, unable to come up with the right words. "Are you shy to say what he told you, or why is your voice shaking?" Sarah asked, her eyes holding a mix of anger

He had just come out of the bathroom, he wrapped a towel around his waist and the other half part of him was naked. Chloe approached him with a smirk on her face, her eyeballs were rolling from side to side. Bryan was clueless about what was wrong with her. He walks closer to her, grabbing her by Feb the arms. "What are you doing here? Can't you knock?" he asked angrily, but Chloe kept smiling, her fresh face turning red. "Know what? You're in my room, and you still dare to tell me to knock before entering?" She snapped, she yanked his hand away from hers and stood up straight, her hands supporting her waist. Bryan's eyes threefold wide as he smelled the alcohol on Chloe's breath. He wasn't sure if he was smelling right. He moved his nose closer to her mouth, and Chloe moved her head back. "Are you trying to kiss me?" she asked, taking a step back, and Bryan grabbed her by the waist, pulling

But my curiosity getting the better out of me, and I quickly sat up to take a proper look at the surroundings. That's when I saw Bryan, sleeping on the floor, I pressed my back against the bed, and Panic set in as I scrambled to remember what had happened. Why was I still here? My heart raced as I thought about the awkwardness of being in Bryan's room, and I wished I could teleport to my own room. I had been too shy to move my body last night, hoping Lucy would come to me to our room, but now I was stuck. The bright sunlight streaming down through the windows and that told me it was already morning, and I had to get ready for work. But my mind was still stuck on the events of the previous night, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. "Are you awake or still sleeping?" Bryan's voice broke the silence, and my eyes snapped open, only to shut a
Chapter 189 Liam’s pov. A week has passed since Mendy had showed me Chloe's cloth,A memory I don't intend to have a hint of. I had rushed out of the room, unable to take a long look at the cloth. Mendy had asked me why I ran away without looking back. I asked her why she had shown me the cloth but she was unable to come up with words. I know she Intentionally showed it to me so I could remember the past, the day I rejected Chloe with my harsh words. The cloth she was wearing that day still lingered in my mind. Even though I don't know why, my eyes have to take things so fast. It's just a cloth, but my eyes took it in so deeply that I lost my sense of color for over a day. I leaned against the bed, my back pressed against it. If not for the fact that I begged the council to let us shift the wedding to the next month, today would have been my mating day with Mendy. I sighed, feeling a mix of emotions. I gave them a lame excuse about holding a grand wedding. That since Mendy is
Chapter 190 Chloe’s POV I surrounded the table with the others, trying to cut out a design on the cloth. For the past week, I had poured my heart and soul into fashion design. I realized it meant so much to me, and I had to put in my all. Especially when I was boiling with rage, cutting out some pieces of cloth and sewing them together relieved me. "Wow...I can't believe you're doing this in just a week of learning!" Emma gushed, and my cheeks turned red. We had all seen a gown on social media, and it was kind of cute. They all praised the fashion designer who made the cloth, while I mistakenly said the gown was simple and that I could do a better job. They had pushed me to cut it out and see it for myself. I thought I couldn't do it, but with what I was currently doing, I would cut out the cloth. They all opened their mouths, watching me in awe as I used the scissors. Cutting the last piece of cloth, they all gasped. "Can you believe she didn't use up to 40 minutes?" Sarah ex
Chapter 191 Chloe’s POV May's voice was laced with desperation as she begged me to save Ryan. "Chloe, please! You have to help him! He's losing control!" Ryan's body started to contort, his limbs was stretching and morphing into those of a wolf. His eyes turned yellow, and a fierce growl erupted from his throat. I knew he was on the verge of going berserk. Without wasting a second I rushed to his side, wrapped my arms around his waist, holding him in tight embrace. “Ryan please stop!” I pleaded trying to calm him down. At first, he resisted, his body tensed against mine. But his growls subsided slowly, and his wolfish form began to recede. He was still shaking with adrenaline, but he was no longer on the brink of losing control. "it's okay. I've got you," I whispered, holding him closer. I turned back, and my gaze met Bryan's eyes. It lingered into my soul as his eyes pierced into my being. I didn't know what was wrong with him, so I just wiggled my head, turning my attention
Chapter 192 Liam’s POV. The next day, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I saw Chloe yesterday. It was definitely her. My curiosity couldn't let go of my doubt. I had prepared to go back to the same shop I had visited yesterday to confirm if I had seen her or not. I had ordered Luke to get the car ready and I knew by now he would be ready. I stormed outside and was met with Lia about to knock on the door. She smiled sweetly at me, and I returned the smile. "You're heading somewhere?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. I nodded. "Where is that?" she asked, but I wasn't ready to tell her, knowing she would try to stop me from going. "Just somewhere. I'll be back soon," I said, tapping her shoulder twice before leaving her behind. I knew her eyes trailed me, but I didn't bother to look back. I walked to where Luke was waiting along with the car and stepped in. Luke started the car, and I gave him the location of where I was going. I knew he wanted to ask me what I
