Chloe’s POVHis declaration hung utterance on my throat as I scowled at a space trying to clasp the meaning of his statement. He can’t be talking to me, it’s not feasible, how will the Mighty Alpha Jax invite me To sleep beside him, no it can’t be possible. I shifted my gape to the side and my eyes laced on his handsome face, his eyebrow well set, I can’t help but admire his glowing Pink lips that peek kissable. Grimacing at his face only makes me wet on my pants, his black hair funds the dark Aura in the bedroom. This was my first time glimpsing him this close and he seemed more attractive. I raised my hand to challenge his authority for telling me to sleep beside him but then my hand hung in the air as he hauled me by my waist closer, his head having entire access to my lap, my cheeks reddish again and I find my hands caressing his hair to the back. I accept there’s nothing that can make me leave here tonight, if I try to sneak out, he is already sleeping and his head is relaxin
Liam’s POV. In the deep grove breathing with misery, my eyes scoured through the four corners, searching for my mate. Novelty piqued my interest and each step I took, grabbed a groan of guilt from me. I regret the day I sent her away with my brutal words, if only I hadn't been dazed by my longing and had accepted my fate perhaps I would spent my day with the one who has been mated for me from Eden but I thrown everything away with my hand and redraw my fate and now it ushered to everything I don't wish for. My heart bit a hundred leagues while leading my Rogue inside the grove, I just wish to fix my eyes on Chloe and ask for forgiveness. I know I hurt her feelings and it will be hard to induce forgiveness but no matter what the consequences are, I will make sure I do my best to strive for forgiveness. My phone beeped inside my pocket and I fetched it out only to see Mendy’s call and anger reddish through my veins. The same woman who has made everything tough for me, if only Men
Jax’s pov. My curiosity got the best of me as I tried to uncover the facts about May. She's such a mysterious girl, and I'm eager to learn more about her. The way she quickly eases my pain whenever she's around keeps me on my toes. I've been suffering from my illness for quite a while without knowing any way to cure it, but then she came into my life suddenly, and my pain started fading away. I don't know how she does it. As I stood up from my bed to go to the bathroom for a shower, my mind couldn't stop thinking about her. I couldn't help but wonder if she could be my second chance mate. My late mate was capable of keeping me calm, but not in the way May handled me. Last night, I thought my life had come to an end, but surprisingly, the drug I had been using for almost a month without effect, she gave it to me once, and it calmed my body. I rested my head on her lap and had a peaceful night's rest. It had been a while since I slept comfortably, but last night I slept soundly. As
Mendy’s POVIn the darkroom that led my curiosity to the portico of tension, my hand supported my head as I continued to think about what was wrong with Liam. Before he fled, he had promised me heaven and earth, he said he would come back to me and make me his authorized wife, he said even if he was able to find Chloe and bring her home I would still be the one to stand beside him as his Luna, but now it wasn't even up to two days he left and he started acting up. I called his numeral countless but he refused to pick me up. I wonder why. I just hope it's not because he gets tired of me or perhaps he finds Chloe and has decided to break up with me. I know what I did to Chloe was quite out of it but I guess it wasn't my fault, if the heaven goddess didn't want me with Liam they would've prevented us from noticing each other. I stood up from the bed walking to the light switch, I switched it on and the room became luminous again. I inhaled loudly before going to sit down. Ever since
Chloe’s POV. My cheeks flushed and I flew back to the bathroom, slamming the door stiff and relaxing my back on the door. I stroll to where I dangle the towel and I quickly grab one, wrapping it around my body, I have only stormed out of the bathroom without a towel because I'm the only one sharing the room, I'm not foreseeing Jax barge in impromptu. My heart breath a hundred miles out, Jax just saw me naked and the thought made me develop goosebumps, the air on my body saluting to the sky and I felt my blood turning into a cold one. I held my chest tightly to protect my heart not crumpling moment from now. The notion of what just happened wailed me down discouraging me from opening the door. But no matter what, I still have to get dressed, my body is getting chilly and my lips appear dry, if I stay for one more minute here I don't know what will happen. I opened the door like an informant spying on a prince, my gaze shifted through the entire room searching if someone was there
Jax’s POV. I rushed inside my room with a blend of emotions, I couldn’t believe I had just seen May's Naked body. It felt so mythical. I only yearned to ask how she was and implore for the fact that I sent her away in the morning but I ended up glimpsing her naked. I sat on the bed relaxing my head in my palm, my eyes glaring at the roof mysteriously. The premature knock on the door brought me back to reality. I posed down on the bed before unlocking my mouth. “Who is there?” I polled my eyes on the door. “It is me sir” I heard the voice of a female but I don’t seem to recall the voice. “Come in,” I said and the door flew open revealing one of my maids. I caught the fear on her face stepping deeper inside the room with tension, immediately she strode in, and she went consecutive on her kneeling tears streaming down her cheeks. “What is wrong? Why the tears?” I asked and she erected her head. “May!” She called and my eyes broadened standing up from the bed.“What happened to h
Liam’s POV. With my curiosity conveying over me, the next day I went back to the dead body have seen inside the forest yesterday. Even tho I've confirmed it's not Chloe I still couldn't enable to kill my doubt. Everything about the body is the Same as Chloe it's only the face that's changed. What if they have fed her a forbidden portion and her body complexion has changed? I led my rogue inside the forest, so far I've been spending almost Five days inside the forest and I've failed to find Chloe in the forest, today I will have no option but to go to the city and look for her. My rogue seems cheered this morning cause of the pleasant night's rest we all had, we've been sleeping anywhere night meet us but yesterday was different, we went to book a hotel in one of the biggest hotels in the city we are and they all seem to love it more. It took us an hour before we got to the place where we'd seen the dead body yesterday. The body was still there and still fixed as we left it the
Chloe’s POVI open my hefty eyes, my gaze scouring the room. Everywhere was opaque and that only sent shivers down my spine believing the angel had later blown the trumpet. I sat up and at that moment I felt a sharp pain on my waist snatching a loud groan from me, I held where I felt the pain massaging it slowly with my fingers. It was so painful but I had to do it. After spending some minutes massaging myself, I tried to stand up, I had no idea where I was, I just hoped it was not heaven. One of my feet touched the floor and I felt light pain running through my lap vein. I put my second leg on the floor and then, the light blew on revealing Alpha Jax. We both exchange a glance before he hurriedly turns off the light again. I wonder why he turned off the light without making a sentence, I was not even given the chance to check through the room And see where I was. I heard him clearing his throat as if he wanted to declare something and I made my ear wide. “Can you cover your
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
Author’s POVMendy’s sharp eye was on Liam, his presence commanding attention. She felt the weight of her anger bubbling beneath her carefully composed exterior, but she masked it with a small smile. Her posture was relaxed, almost lazy, as if she had all the time in the world.Liam’s expression was the opposite—his jaw was clenched tight, and his fiery gaze was locked on her. Even without his Alpha aura pressing down on the room, his presence was intimidating enough. The principal, standing nearby, cleared his throat nervously.“Mr. Liam, perhaps we can—”“This doesn’t concern you,” Liam cut her off sharply, his tone cold but controlled. He turned his attention back to Mendy, his voice steady but laced with steel. “We need to talk. Alone.”The principal hesitated, but Mendy stepped forward, gesturing for him to leave. “It’s fine,” she said sweetly, her tone dripping with false politeness. “I can handle this. There’s no need to worry.” She added. The principal looked between them, he
Liam’s POV The house was eerily quiet when I stepped inside. Too quiet. I called out Chloe’s name, my voice echoing in the space. No answer. My eyes swept the living room, every corner tidy as usual, but something about the silence felt off. She hadn’t mentioned going anywhere.“Chloe?” I tried again, moving toward the kitchen. Nothing.My pulse quickened, an uneasy knot forming in my chest. I pulled out my phone and dialed her number for the third time, only to hear it ring faintly from somewhere upstairs. She wasn’t answering. I bolted up the stairs, following the sound to our bedroom, and found her phone on the nightstand, the screen lighting up with my name.“She left without it,” I muttered, running a hand through my hair.Panic began to creep in. Chloe wasn’t careless with her phone, and the thought of her being unreachable only amplified my worry. I sat on the edge of the bed, trying to think. She might have gone to her office. That seemed like the logical explanation.Without
Liam’s POV The meeting room was quiet, except for the sound of the projector humming as it displayed charts and statistics. My foreign clients sat stiffly across the table, their expressions grim. I could see the anger in their eyes, the way their eyes darted nervously. They were losing faith in me, and it was starting to show.“Your warehouses are no longer safe,” one of them said, breaking the silence. His voice was sharp, accusing. “It’s like someone knows every location. This isn’t just a coincidence, Mr. Liam. We’re being targeted.” He uttered with a greeted teeth. I leaned back in my chair, forcing a calm smile onto my face. “I understand your concerns,” I said evenly, though inside I was seething. “But I assure you, my team is handling the situation. We’ve reinforced security measures, and we’re monitoring all activities closely.” I tried to reassure them but their gaze was unyielding. “Are you sure that’s enough? This isn’t just bad luck,” one of them said, his voice cold.
Chloe’s POV The very next day, I found myself standing in front of the school, my kids clutching each of my hands. It was supposed to feel normal, dropping the kids off, and watching them run through the gates. But it didn’t. My chest tightened with each step closer to the entrance. Liam had reassured me endlessly last night, but no amount of comforting words could erase the lingering unease swirling in my mind.“Mommy, can we go now?” Aria tugged at my hand impatiently, breaking my train of thought.“Not yet, sweetheart,” I said, forcing a smile and crouching down to their level. “I need you both to promise me something. If anything feels wrong or someone says something that makes you uncomfortable, you tell your dad or come straight to me. Okay?”“Okay,” they chorused, although Asher gave me a skeptical look. He had her father’s no-nonsense expression, sharp for a six-year-old.I kissed their foreheads and sent them through the gates, my heart sinking further as they disappeared in
Chloe’s POV The first few days of Mendy’s presence at the school had been uneventful. It was almost as if she were trying to prove herself, and I couldn’t figure out why that bothered me so much. Whenever I went to drop the kids off, she would always smile to greet the kids, praising them for every little thing, acting like the perfect, doting teacher. But the way she looked at them, the way she got just a little too close, set my nerves on edge.It wasn’t even the way she treated them that bothered me. It was how my children were responding to her. Every day, it seemed, I’d hear them tell me how great Mendy was, how she helped them with this or that, how she made them feel so special. I tried to smile, to be supportive, but deep down, a jealousy I couldn’t control bubbled up inside me. I wanted them to see me that way. I wanted to be the one they ran to when they needed praise or affection.The worst part was how they’d grown so attached to her. They came home with stories about Men
Chloe’s POV The car engine hummed beneath me, but my thoughts were a constant, swirling storm. I couldn’t shake the image of Mendy’s face from my mind. Her too-sweet smile, her fake warmth toward my children—it was all wrong. Something about her felt off. I gripped the steering wheel harder, my fingers aching from the pressure. I needed to talk to Liam. I needed to hear his voice, to feel some semblance of calm, and also to inform him about Mendy. I pulled over to the side of the road, brought out my phone, and dialed his number.The phone rang twice before he picked up, his voice strained. “Chloe?”“Liam, I—” I stopped myself, trying to gather my thoughts. “I don’t know what to do. The principal introduced Mendy as the kids’ new teacher today. She’s been assigned to their class permanently. I can’t— I just can’t trust her with them.”I could hear Liam take a sharp breath on the other end of the line. He sounded tired and worn out, and I hated that. I hated that he had so much on
Chloe’s POV I couldn’t stop the guilt creeping up my spine as I marched into the principal’s office, demanding a transfer for Aria and Luis. The decision gnawed at me, a tiny voice whispering that I was letting my anger control me, but I shoved it aside. My children didn’t belong in a classroom with Mendy.“I understand your concerns, Mrs. Liam,” the principal said, her tone professional but edged with impatience. “However, I must remind you that we’re the top school in the city. Transferring them now would not only disrupt their education but limit their future opportunities.”I folded my arms, my frustration bubbling over. “And I understand that you think this is the best school, but you don’t understand the history I have with that woman. She’s not safe to be around my children.”The principal sighed, looking at me as if I were a stubborn child throwing a tantrum. “Mendy has done nothing to warrant such concerns. She’s been a model professional since she started here. I’ve reviewe
Chloe’s POV The moment the words left the principal’s mouth, I froze, every part of me stiffening like I’d been struck by lightning.“Yes,” she said, “She’ll be Aria and Luis’ teacher this year. We’re so lucky to have her, she’s been an absolute gem.”I blinked, sure I’d misheard. “I’m sorry,” I said slowly, my voice trembling with the effort to stay calm. “You’re saying Mendy is my children’s teacher? Or am I just mishearing?”“No you’re not mishearing,” the principal replied, beaming. “She graciously agreed to step in after the original teacher had an accident. We’re very fortunate to have someone so qualified and committed join us at such short notice.” She explained. I stared at her, my mind struggling to process the words. My heart began to race, panic rising in my chest. Mendy. Of all people. Why is this happening to me? “You’ve got to be joking,” I said, my voice sharper now.The principal frowned slightly, the warmth in her expression faltering. “I’m not joking, Mrs. Liam.
