Chloe’s POV. Ryan walked right through the midst of the maids, and they all made way for him to come stand in front of me. He announced loudly that Alpha Jax requested me to sit beside him. I was shocked, my eyes widening as I looked at him. He had a gentle smile on his face.The maids started murmuring amongst themselves, but I didn't really care. Ryan moved to the side, giving me the chance to walk in front of him. I couldn't help but feel a rush of happiness and excitement. It felt like a dream come true.I took quick steps, walking towards where Alpha Jax was sitting. My eyes never left his side, and both Our eyes were locked on each other. It was like a fairytale moment, and I couldn't believe that a day like this could turn into something so amazing. I had always wondered how I would stand before him, and now I was walking towards him like a princess.All the eyes in the retribution room were on me. I knew that some of them might be irritated, given my past experiences in this
Chloe’s POV. My heart thumped a hundred miles. How could you steal something and still have the audacity to look for it? It sounds absurd, but I don't want to be the type to judge without listening.I watched as Miss Ann crawled to the front, leaving only an inch between her and Jax. Her eyeball rolled to the side, as if she was searching for what to say. Hot tears streamed down her face as she cleared her throat.My ears formed a perfect silence, and my heart aligned with the stillness in the room, eager to hear what Miss Ann had to say."The jade... the jade was gifted to me by your late wife," she spoke, but I found it hard to believe her words.Whoever would believes her word? the only person who could testify to it is Jax's late wife, who is no longer here.I shifted my gaze to Alpha Jax. He had a mix of emotions swelling on his face, as if contemplating whether to believe her or take the other route."You're not ready to open up to us, right? Tell me, how the hell am I supposed
Liam’s POV. The journey was incredibly tiring. After searching half of the city, we finally decided to head to a hotel on the street as night approached.The hotel wasn't as big as the ones we've been staying at, but it was still pretty spacious compared to some others.I led my crew into the hotel and we went straight to the attendant to book our rooms.We each got our own room and settled in for the night.It's frustrating and confusing that we still haven't found Chloe. We've searched almost everywhere in the city, but she's nowhere to be found.I know I don't have the exact location she's in, but since she left MayHill with nothing, she shouldn't have gone too far from home. Without much with her, she's likely relying on the kindness of others.My mind is restless, and I won't be able to relax until I see her.As I made my way to the room I booked, I heard a noise coming from another room. It's strange that the hotel manager hasn't addressed it yet. If the noise continues, it's g
Liam’s POV. "I'm here to take her with me," I declared, watching the shock on everyone's faces.Looking around, I noticed the intense gazes on me, especially from my crew, whose mouths were wide open. It's unusual for me to get involved in matters that don't concern me, but this time, I felt compelled to act.As I gazed at the girl, a stranger to me, tears streaming down her face, a pang of guilt hit me. I couldn't shake the feeling of regret for sending her away yesterday, even after her desperate pleas for help.Swiftly, I pulled her close to stand by my side, signaling to my crew to keep their distance. Causing a scene here could attract unwanted attention from the police, and that's the last thing I want.“What are you doing?” the guy who had taken the girl away the night before demanded, his face showing a mix of anger and concern."I said I'm taking her with me, do I need to repeat myself for you to understand a simple sentence?" I retorted with a smirk, noticing murmurs starti
Chloe’s POV. The moon embraced my eyes, and as I swiftly opened them, I gazed at the already white sky, stretching my body lazily. Flickering my eyes repeatedly. I know I slept late, and that's why I woke up late. I wonder why I slept late, and that's when my mind drifts back to the feverish kiss Alpha Jax shared with me and I quickly sat on the bed. I close my mouth, feeling my cheeks redden as I remember the passionate kiss. The moment our hot breath collided forming a room for spectacles The way his tongue did justice to my mouth, how his soft hand squeezed my ass gently using it to generate a moan from me, the gentle moan coming out from his mouth when I reciprocated the kiss.I must say, this was my first kiss, and I enjoyed it. I wish for more of it. If not for Ryan, who had cleared his throat, distracting us yesterday, maybe it would've led to something even steamier.I slap my head at the thought of making something steamy. I should've been lucky Ryan intervened. If Alpha J
Chloe’s POV. I stood like a statue while trying to figure out what to do. Yeah, we kissed yesterday, so why am I making a simple hug such a big deal?I lifted my hand, ready to return the hug, but then he let go, and my hands fell back.My gaze could only scan the floor, my cheeks kind of red and shy.I felt his finger raise my head up, and our eyes met. He stared at me intensely, as if he was trying to devour me.He used his left hand to support my waist, pulling me closer as we exchanged breath through our noses before leaving me and walking to the stool."I'm taking you somewhere," he said, grabbing his car key from the stool and starting to lead me out.I wondered where he was taking me. I just hoped it would be somewhere I'd appreciate, not the other way around.He held my hand as we walked out, with different eyes on us, but he didn't care, and neither did I. I knew nobody would dare make a sound at that moment.We went to the parking lot, and I stood staring in awe. I never ex
Chloe’s POV I wrapped my hands around his chest, resting my face against him. I knew he would be wondering what was going on, but I preferred this to letting Liam see me.He walked beside us, his footsteps halting, making my body shake nervously as I held Jax even tighter."Did he see me?" my mind raced, sweat dripping from my body. “Please go, please” hot sweat formed out of my body as I pleaded inwardly. I noticed Alpha Jax's hand trying to lift my face to meet his gaze, but my grip tightened, I won't let him go until Liam evict the scene, I'm not ready to be catch. I heard Liam leave and waited for several minutes before lifting my head from Jax's chest and looking into his eyes."What's gotten into you?" he asked, holding my arms. I shook my head slowly."Nothing, I'm fine. Please let go, I don't want to be here anymore," I said, walking towards where we had parked the car. Jax followed me."I thought you were getting something for someone. What's wrong with leaving suddenly? W
Chloe’s POV. He released my breast and ended the kiss, causing me to open my eyes gently. Our gazes met, and he asked, “Should I stop?” I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond. Despite enjoying the moment, I didn't want to feel powerless. “If you want me to stop, I will,” he offered. But I didn't want him to stop. This was my first time experiencing such a passionate moment, and I was glad it was with Ajax. I didn't want it to end.Without saying a word, I closed my eyes tightly, mustering my courage, and our lips met once more. I kissed his lower lip deeply, savoring the moment.His hand gripped my waist, and I instinctively wrapped my legs around him. When I opened my eyes, he was already standing, carrying me effortlessly with my arms around his neck.He guided us closer to the bed, gently lowering me onto it. My legs remained wrapped around him, and our lips met again, this time with even more intensity, heat, and allure than before.As he undressed, finding his nipple
