Chapter 196 Author’s POV. Alpha Jax was in his domain, his eyes blazing fire. His body was getting better, and he could now walk without stress, but sometimes he felt a lingering pain. He had tried his best to find Chloe, but to no avail. Just yesterday, his new beta had told him he saw someone who looked exactly like Ryan. Alpha Jax didn't want to believe it, thinking maybe his beta didn't know Ryan well enough. But his beta had known Ryan for a long time, since they lived in the same pack. His mind raced with how to confirm if what his beta said was true. He thought about sending his beta to gather more information, but he was afraid of putting him in danger. He knew the alpha of MayHill pack, Liam, was ruthless and wouldn't hesitate to hurt anyone who got in his way. Jax paced back and forth in his room, trying to come up with a plan. He wanted to go to MayHill pack himself, but couldn't, since the alpha had banished His man with a warning: "If I see you again, I'll slit your
Chapter 197Chloe’s POV. As I got dressed for work, Lucy was still fast asleep. I considered waking her up, but she seemed distant lately, and I wasn't sure how to approach her. recently, she had been cold and distant. I didn't know what was bothering her, and I didn't know how to bridge the gap that had grown between us. I sighed and decided to let her sleep, hoping that she would come around eventually.My mind wandered back to the previous day when Bryan shared the painful story behind his phobia. He had confided in me about the traumatic experience in high school, where he lost his best friend to bullying. The memory of his tears and his vulnerability still lingered in my mind. I felt a pang of empathy for him, remembering how he had opened up to me, trusting me with his secret. I finished applying my makeup, my thoughts still on Bryan and his story.I walked over to Lucy on the bed and gently tapped her shoulder twice. She opened her eyes slowly. “I’m going to shop now,” I said
Chapter 198Chloe’s pov. After the kiss with Bryan, I hadn’t gotten myself together yet. I couldn’t get the reason why he kissed me out of my head. I was on the machine, joining the last pieces of the last cloth, but my mind wasn’t there. My mind was still reeling from what Bryan said earlier. I asked him why he had kissed me, and he told me he loved me, which I couldn’t believe. He always scolded me, always showing me his wrath, so why would he claim to love me?Someone tapped my shoulder, and I mistakenly set my hands on the needles, causing them to match and throw my fingers into a bloody mess. I screamed on seeing it, my body shaking as I used my second hand to hold the hand with the needles stuck in it.“What the heck!” Jake screamed, running towards me and holding my hands to take a proper look. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. I just wanted to notify you that you’re making a mistake with your sewing.” Sarah covered her mouth, her eyes wide with shock. My eyes darted
Chapter 199 Chloe’s pov. As I watched, Liam walked into the store with Luke by his side, a bright smile spreading across his face. I tried to speak, but my voice caught in my throat. Bryan emerged from his office, a look of excitement on his face."Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to our special guest," Bryan announced, his eyes shining with pride. "Liam, the owner of the very cloth we're standing on!."My eyes widened in shock as Liam greeted us, his eyes locking onto mine with a hint of familiarity. Bryan ushered him into his office, leaving me stunned and confused.Sarah turned to me, her voice low. "do you know who he is?" she asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.I shook my head, still trying to process what was happening. How could Liam be the owner of the cloth? I had no idea.Emma chimed in, her eyes curious. "Where did you know him from?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.I hesitated, unsure of how to respond. How could I explain my connection with Liam? I d
Chapter 200 Chloe’s POV. I trudged through the door, exhausted from the drama-filled day at work. Lucy followed close behind, her eyes fixed on me with concern.“I know today was tough, but I think you should come with me to your mom's memorial service," Lucy said, her voice soft and persuasive."No way. I'm not going."I collapsed onto the couch, shaking my head. Lucy sat down beside me, her hand on my arm. "I understand the way you are feeling but you need to confront your feelings and go to your mum's burial” she spoke gently and I wondered what had changed about her. In the morning she seems so cold so why the character now? I shook my head pulling my arm away from her grip, my eyes welling up with tears. "I wish you could understand me better. You know today isn’t Mum's burial. It’s in two weeks to come. Going to celebrate with them is like betraying my mum also”’ my lips slipped from each other. “I know right but…..” Lucy started saying but I snapped at her. “There’s no but
Chapter 201Chloe’s POV. After the long talk with Lucy, I decided to attend my mom's memorial service. We both put on black clothes, specs, and scarves. As we walked outside, Lucy said, "Make sure you maintain your composure and don't let anyone get to you." She patted my shoulder, and I nodded in understanding.As we walked out, Bryan came outside, his eyes blinking in different colors. “Do you mind if I should drop you off? I also want to get something at the junction,” he offered.But I quickly shook my head, clearly not interested in his offer. "There's no need for that. We'll grab a taxi at the junction, and besides, where we're going is kind of far, and I won't want to stress you," I replied."Why are you lying, Chloe?" Lucy said, putting the tip of her finger to her mouth, then facing Bryan. "Don't mind her. You can drop us off."I pinched her wrist, causing her to whimper in pain. "Do you want to stress him? Can't you tell from his look that he's already tired and needs a lot
Chapter 202 Chloe’s POV. I was surprised and couldn't contain my anger as everyone agreed to what the priest said. How can they be so blinded? Is it a must to be at the mating before they believe I'm happy? Truly, I know I feel hurt by the thought of my mate mating with my sister, but what can I do? The least I can do is walk far away from them, but why do they decide to torment me with the idea of living with them till Mendy's mating day? I have refused to stay, but they told me if I didn't stay, it means I'm not happy with the mating. I wanted to tell them to believe whatever they want to believe, but I realized it would spoil something more. I told them at least to let me go home and pack my clothes, but they've refused. I wonder what they are planning. I walked inside my room, falling down on the bed, and Lucy sat beside me. "I told you my gut feeling didn't want to come here. See what's happening now?" I lamented angrily. "I'm surprised, I don't know such a thing will hap
Chapter 203 Chloe’s POV. It's been a week since I had sex with Liam, and I've been trying my best to ignore him as much as I can. I don't want to exchange words with him, even though he has tried his best to grab my attention. But I'm not giving him the chance; I'm not interested in talking to him. If not for Lucy, everyone would have known I slept with him. She was the one who lied, saying she had a blood cramp, otherwise, I would have been disgraced. Liam's mating with Mendy is in two weeks, and the preparations are already taking place. Lucy is also here with me, accompanying me, because if not, I would have died out of loneliness. Everyone is busy with one thing or another, while I sit on the couch in the sitting room, my eyes glued to the TV, watching my favorite show. Since I started living here, I haven't gone to work and have been stuck at home all day, watching TV. I miss going to store and helping with one or two things, but they won't let me leave the compound. I don't
Chapter 67. Chloe's POV. Back at my house, I was a bit worried about what could be done to harm me anytime soon because if someone was so pertinent about doing something like this, then they had every intention to even go deeper, making me a bit worried. I decided to seek Mendy out, she had to have answers for everything that had been happening so far. I bumped into Scott on my way out and I was just a little bit worried for the look of excitement I saw in his eyes. He had probably done something pretty insane and was proud of himself which I didn't know how to feel about it. "Where are you off to?""Nowhere in particular, I was trying to talk to Mendy and see what she would have to say concerning the issue at hand because now I'm beginning to wonder why she has been wasting so much time to give me answers."He looked at me with slightly widened eyes, a bit locked in but still very anxious so I decided to speak with him at length to kind of figure out what exactly was going on.
Chapter 66.Chloe's POV. I rushed straight down to the dungeons so that I could meet up with the scientist who had been imprisoned. If I was able to get more information from him, it meant that I was settled but if I wasn't, then I would have to do a lot more just to prove how interesting this was. "Having an initial contact with you I would never have imagined that you would not tell the truth when it is presented to you because of everyone I felt like you would be better." I said immediately I spotted him, looking far off. The man truly looked dejected and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him but it could probably be a lie because that was the way most of them behaved and I had no choice but to do what I could. I stopped moving around and watched his countenance go from being pleased to annoyed in one second. He had a lot to tell me but was holding back. "You are going to remain in this dungeon for a long time and never see your family again. I'm sure that is not what you wa
Chapter 65. Chloe's POV. "It has been revealed that there was something in his food." My heart skipped a bit that the revelation because this was completely beyond what I was expecting in any shape or form. My eyes were focused on what was more necessary than just waiting for answers My wolf package hard time believe it that it was probably just poison. It's substance was not mentioned and that was a huge red flag on its own. Someone had to explain to me in layman's term why the autopsy results didn't reveal anything favorable. There were a lot of things to think about but one of the things that stood out for me was the way the scientist switched carefully while staring at me. This was an explanation that could not be done without and I was expecting more. Scott glanced at me as though we shared the same sentence and he coughed. "Whatever way I know that we still need to talk." He said. The living room was plunged into greater silence as we waited for the answers to be m
Chapter 64. Chloe's POV.Awaiting the autopsy was not even a great idea. All that Chloe thought about was to make her father get the justice he deserved. The insane amount of mishaps that had come into her life the past few days was not to be reckoned with, and she felt like there had to be a means of tackling this without feeling weak or weary from any angle. Her kids didn't even think that their actions had a long-lasting impact.She picked up my phone to call Scott, "what is happening." Liam was less concerned with what was happening, so she needed to get my answers myself. "I don't want you to think so much about everything that has been going on because it's not going to help either of us, but there is only one way that we can achieve our goals, which is by waiting for the result. Then I would know what to do." Scott said. Chloe didn't understand why he was wasting so much time confronting their sister when it was almost getting clear that her father had been murdered, prob
Chapter 63. Chloe's POV I was on my way to my father's room when I stopped halfway, taking a giant sneeze; I found out that the youngest for them wasn't something even important at all. Instead, it was only her next move. Evil when she's poked against, she's poked against close powerful. I could see the way things began to drum in a sarcastic manner. I believed that everything was going to work out for good, but at the same time, I needed to be as careful as I should. I stopped in front of his room and contemplated how my next statement was going to affect him. I needed new people to understand the mood of the population and abide by it, not those who are ready to change me at every cost. Without him clamoring to have some sort of land or power to himself it's made everyone appear in their natural state just to make it very relatable. "I have always had problems with you because of how decided to represent everything that you are and own." I heard someone's voice ringing
Chapter 62. Chloe's POV. My heart pounded in my ribcage, trying to find out if my child was fine. Why hadn't Lia called me if there was an issue? She was the only person that I trusted too much to call me about what was happening. As soon as I headed into the room, I didn't understand what was going on at first but decided to take a deep breath just to see what was happening. I pushed the door open and so Aria hooked up with different drips running through her veins, looking pale. My heart skipped a bit as I rushed her to her side. Ignoring Liam, who was sitting beside her and looking at me as though I was the devil spawn, I looked at her and back at him. "What happened to her?" "You went away for so long and appeared out of nowhere to ask what happened to her. How interesting!" I shut my eyes in shock. This was absolutely not what I was looking for. I needed something very important, such as a damn reason why this was happening. "Apparently I think that you didn't he
Chapter 61 Chloe's POV. Two days later, My knuckles hovered above my father's study as I waited for a minute before taking the initiative to walk in at his silence. My dad sat on the chair in front of me watching carefully, as I progressed towards where he was sitting and also looking carefully. "You are unhappy. I can feel it. Why is that?" I knew that if I opened my mouth to start speaking immediately I would burst into tears, uncontrollable ones at that. My eyes welled up with tears but I realized that for me to continue this way it was going to make me look even more weak. "I wanted to report certain things to you. I need you to call Mendy. She has been getting on my nerves for so long now and I would appreciate it if you called her to order. She isn't a lost cause yet until we agree that she is not worth it." I said, hoping that she had not come here to report before I did and render my testimony invalid. Gazing at me intently, my father finally spoke, "if she ha
Chapter 60.Chloe's POV.I headed into the school with only one intention. To find answers."We should talk to Scott. He should be able to find answers for yours because that's the only way I would be free to do what I have in mind." Lia said, Without further ado, I headed to his office and realized that he was a little bit busier than I thought so I waited a bit."Hey! Is anything the matter?" He asked, a bit anxious just to find out why I had decided to call on him. 'I need to tell you something very important and I hope that we should be able to rub minds together. I have pondered on this for so long and still have not come up with an answer that is suitable." I started. His eyes widened slightly, looking at me for a minute. "May I know the reason for this discussion?" He asked while scanning the environment, his heart pumping visibly underneath his tight shirt. I had a lot of reservations when it came to opening up to people but I knew he was someone that I could trust and wou
Chapter 59.Author's POV. Mendy looked ahead, relishing the fact that Liam was already on his way to her place. She could almost feel the taste of bitterness on my sister's lips as she bade the kids goodbye. Having no choice but to dance to her tune she watched happily. This was everything and more of what she wanted in her entire life and nothing was going to stop her from achieving everything that she should. Things were getting out of hand and it was only imperative that she found a means of nipping it in the bud. "Hi, how are you guys doing today?" She asked the kids as soon as they entered the class. Their mother had no right to come and confront her and that was her only saving grace. "Good morning, Miss Mendy, we missed you last night. My mom didn't allow us to come, she asked that we stay with her even though our dad didn't like it."Mendy heaved a sigh of relief, thinking about how great it would be if she was their mother. Obviously she was going to kick them out or ma
