I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, almost as if it wanted to burst out. the maids passed by, their voices blending together into a distant hum. I could see their lips moving, but their words didn't reach my ears. It was as if I was in my own little bubble, lost in a sea of thoughts and emotions.Ryan suddenly stop walking, lost in my thought I was unable to notice that until my head accidentally bumped on his back, The pain shot through my skull, but I couldn't even let out a groan. It was as if my body was mirroring the inner struggle I was going through. The physical pain was nothing compared to the turmoil within me.When Ryan turned to me, his eyes bore into mine with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine. It was as if he could see right through me, unraveling the chaos that was swirling within my mind. And in that moment, he asked me “why
Chloe’s POV. As I followed the maid to the bathroom, my mind was racing with a million thoughts, swirling and colliding like a storm inside my head. I couldn't help but wonder why I was able to speak in front of Alpha Jax when just moments ago, I couldn't even open my mouth to utter a single word to Ryan. It was like my voice had been stolen from me. But then, when I found myself in the presence of Jax, everything changed. I could talk, I could scream, and my voice echoed through the air. It was as if a dormant part of me had awakened, breaking free from the shackles that had silenced me before.I couldn't help but think back to the first time I had the dream, the dream that seemed to hold the key to this enigma. I remember desperately trying to speak to Alpha Jax about it, to share my fears and seek guidance. But my voice failed me, leaving me voiceless and frustrated. It was a moment of helplessness, a feeling of being trapped within my own thoughts.And now, as I stood on the pre
Chloe’s POV.I stood there, my mind still racing with thoughts about what Lia had said. What did she mean by "don't come back home wet"? And what was she referring to when she mentioned Alpha Jax? And what did she mean by "set up"? It felt like a puzzle that I couldn't quite solve.Lost in my thoughts, I walked out of the bathroom and suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder. Startled, I turned around to see Alpha Jax standing right beside me. My heart skipped a beat, I wasn't expecting him to be there, and the sight of him made me stumble and land on my butt."What's wrong with you?" he asked, concern evident in his voice. I quickly shook my head, trying to regain my composure."Nothing, I'm just startled," I replied, my voice a bit shaky. I could feel my face turning red, embarrassed by my clumsy reaction to his presence. I couldn't help but feel a mix of confusion and curiosity as he smiled lightly and stretched his hand toward me. I raised my eyebrows, my mind struggling to comprehen
Chloe’s POV With a flick of my hand, I opened the door, and my eyes widened almost to the point of popping out of their sockets when I saw Lia standing before me. "What are you doing here again?" I blurted out, unable to contain my surprise. Instead of answering, she swiftly pushed me inside, causing my heart to skip a beat.As I stumbled backward, my mind raced to make sense of Lia's unexpected presence. Was she here to offer answers or add to the growing pile of questions in my mind? The room suddenly felt smaller, the air thick with anticipation and uncertainty. I searched her eyes for any hint of an explanation, but they remained enigmatic, like a locked door refusing to reveal its secrets.My pulse quickened as Lia closed the door behind her, enveloping us in a cocoon of secrecy. I could feel the weight of the unknown pressing down on me, suffocating my thoughts. It was as if the room held its breath, waiting for the truth to unravel.With a mix of apprehension and curiosity, I
Chloe’s POV"I've heard everything you said, but I'm not interested. I'm not ready to cooperate," I said firmly, standing up from the bed and pushing Lia away. The weight of the situation hung heavily in the air, and I needed some space to process everything that had been said.Lia seemed taken aback, her eyes widening with surprise. It was clear she wasn't expecting such a strong reaction from me. But I couldn't help it. The thought of aligning myself with her, someone I merely know, was just too much for me to handle.As I pushed her towards the door, a mix of fear and confusion swirled inside me. I wasn't sure what would happen next, but I knew I needed to distance myself from Lia and the whole situation. I opened the door, expecting to see an empty hallway, but instead, I was met with a sight that sent chills down my spine.There, standing at the door, was Alpha Jax himself. His eyes, usually filled with a dangerous intensity, were now fixed on me. I could feel his gaze piercing t
Chloe’s POV "What are you discussing with that girl?" he inquired, and I couldn't help but wonder who he was referring to. Had he been watching me? My mind raced, trying to piece together the puzzle of his knowledge. Or perhaps, he was asking about May? "Who is that?" I asked, my voice filled with a mix of curiosity and concern. I needed confirmation, a reassurance that my suspicions were correct. "The girl I met in your room," he replied, his words hitting me like a ton of bricks. It was then that I realized he was talking about Lia truly, My heart sank as a wave of emotions flooded over me.I tried to play it cool, masking my true feelings behind a nonchalant facade. "Nothing, just this and that, it is nothing necessary," I said, my voice betraying a hint of hesitation. The truth was that, I didn't know if I could trust him anymore. If he was still the Alpha Jax I knew before, I would have opened up to him by now. But the Jax sitting beside me right now was confusing, leaving me
Chapter 77Liam’s POVAs I sat there, my eyes fixated on the laptop screen, every word exchanged between Chloe and Lia seemed to seep into my very being. The intensity of their conversations was palpable, and I couldn't help but be drawn into their world.Chloe, she had become so stubborn, more than I could have ever imagined. It was as if she had built an impenetrable fortress around her thoughts and emotions. But Lia, was relentless in her pursuit to change Chloe's mind.What struck me the most was Lia's unwavering determination to keep me in the loop. she would take a moment to explain the intricacies of her interactions with Chloe. Lia had this nagging feeling that Jax, harbored some sinister intentions towards Chloe. Her self-esteem couldn't shake off the sense that danger was lurking nearby. And when Lia stormed out of Chloe's room, she left me with a cryptic warning. Tonight, she said, something might unfold, something that demanded my preparedness.I couldn't help but question
Liam’s pov. As I sat there, the shock from the encounter still lingering in my bones, I couldn't help but stare at the man in front of me. My mind was racing, trying to come up with the right words to say. Who had employed me? It was a question that weighed heavily on my mind, and I had no idea how to approach it. I felt completely clueless about the people in this mall, let alone who had hired me.But then, to my surprise, the man spoke up again. "Anyway, go and stay at that place, I will prepare their food," he said, finalizing his decision. A wave of relief washed over me, grateful that he had taken back his previous words. If he hadn't, I didn't even want to think about what could have happened.I followed his instructions and made my way to the designated seating area. As I sat down on the bench, my mind couldn't help but drift back to Chloe. I could still see the shock and disbelief on her face when she saw me. I knew she wasn't expecting me, and I imagined that a thousand ques
Chapter 56. Chloe's POV. I paced around when I heard that my kids were nowhere to be found. I hope that Mendy had not taken them away from me for that would be an utter disaster. My heart was beating faster than a sports car but I didn't even know what to say. A few minutes later, the kids came barreling into the house with excitement in their eyes. I was worried sick, but they were busy enjoying themselves out there. It was wild, to say the least. "Where did you go all along?" "We were at Miss Mendy's place." "Mendy?" "Yes, she gave us something to eat and it was pretty tasty," Aria answered with a small smile. "Tasty? Why are you going over to your teacher's house without my consent?" I asked them. "Is there any reason why I shouldn't allow my kids to visit their lovely teacher?" "You should have told me right from the start. I don't appreciate you taking them anywhere without my consent. This isn't even to be negotiated. How don't you see this as a problem?"
Chapter 55. Liam's POV. "Where are we going to?" Asher inquired curiously making me wonder what exactly the problem was. I was waiting to see what could be done concerning these children because they seemed to have a stronger mind of their own. Courtesy of their mother. Chloe influenced the kids because that was the only reason they would ask me such deep questions like adults. "When we get to this place, I want you to be well-behaved. If not, I'm going to take you back immediately," I told both of them Aria looked up at me, inspecting my eyes. "Are you serious right now?" My eyes widened at her language. Again Chloe was to be blamed. "I don't understand what exactly you are talking about but I just want you to be mindful of whatever you are doing." "Tell me what exactly you want. You cried that you wanted to come with me, and I allowed you, and now you're asking if I'm serious? Spare those languages for your mom." Asher looked at me as though I had said something
Chapter 54 Chloe’s POV My heart beat faster as I watched Chloe fall down on the floor, my eyes widened. At first, I thought she was joking until I used my leg to tap her ass, and she refused to lift her body up. “Chloe, stop joking and wake up. Stand up right now!” I lamented, praying for her to get up, but instead, her body remained on the floor. My heart started beating even faster. “Dad! Mom!” I heard a voice from behind, and I turned only to find Aria walking toward me, her brows furrowed. “Dad, what happened to Mom?” Her small voice yelled as she ran to Chloe, leaning beside her and tapping her forehead. “Dad, she is hot! She is feeling hot!” she screamed, and I had no option but to lean toward Chloe and touch her forehead. She felt like somebody who had just been pulled out of hot water. Sweat erupted out of my body as I raised my gaze up. “Aria, stand up. Go to your room. I will be back, let me take Mommy to the hospital,” I said, and she nodded, though she hesitated fo
Chapter 53 Chloe’s POV I hesitated, unsure whether I should assist Liam or not. My gaze lingered on him, filled with a mix of anger and resentment. Initially, I decided to leave him to his fate, but when he groaned in pain, my resolve wavered. I turned back to him, and a wave of sadness washed over me. Reluctantly, I chose to help him. I approached him, bending down to his level, and gently assisted him to his feet. I tried lifting him up, but he seemed heavy. No matter how hard I tried, he kept falling back onto the floor. I didn't know what to do as sadness bubbled up in my mind. I sat down beside him with a trembling body. Tears streamed down my cheek, I didn't know why or what made everything change suddenly. The Liam I got mated to is not the one sitting beside me. The Liam I know would never go out and get himself drunk. The Liam I know would never raise his voice at me, no matter what the situation was. But the one sitting on the floor was totally different. I cleaned th
Chapter 52 Chloe’s POV The silence in the house feels suffocating, and the thought in my chest refuses to lift no matter how much I try to distract myself. The kids are upstairs playing, and I sit alone on the living room couch, staring blankly at the window side. How did we get here? I run my hands through my hair, frustration building as the memories flood back, Liam’s words, his accusations, the bitterness in his voice when he said I’d caused him to lose so much. Every time I replay it, I come up empty. What did I do to deserve this? Where did I go so wrong? Blaming myself is easier than facing the possibility that Liam might be wrong. If it’s my fault, at least I have some control. “Mama?” I heard Asher voice, interrupting my thoughts, and I look up to see him standing at the edge of the room, his wide eyes filled with concern. “Yes, sweetheart?” I say, forcing a smile that feels like it might crack my face. “Are you okay?” He asks, walking closer. His small hand reaches
Chapter 51 Liam’s POV I slam the door behind me, my breath was heavy with anger. Each step i took away from Chloe feels like I’m putting distance between myself and the chaos she brings, but I know it’s a temporary reprieve. Her face lingers in my mind, etched with defiance and hurt, and it only fuels the storm brewing inside of me. I head to the trails behind the house, hoping a run will clear my head. The cool air hits my face as I start, my feet pounding against the dirt path. My muscles ache in ways they haven’t before, and my breath catches, uneven and unfamiliar. Something feels… off. I slow to a walk, pressing a hand to my chest. It’s not just physical, there’s a shift deep within me, something I can’t quite place. My wolf stirs uneasily, a low growl vibrating at the edges of my consciousness. “What now?” I mutter aloud, running a hand through my hair. My wolf didn’t answer, but his presence is stronger, more persistent. It’s like he’s trying to tell me something, b
Chapter 50Chloe’s POV My heart trembles and tears stain my lash. Hearing him calling me a weak wolf makes me more. “Is that what you want, Liam?” My voice is soft but trembling in a way that I could even hear. I search his face, desperate to find something, anything that might make sense of the mess we’ve become.He falters, just for a second. His lips parted as if he were going to say something, and for the briefest moment, I saw the man I was mated to. The man who once held me when I was breaking. But then, as quickly as it came, it’s gone. His jaw tightens, and his eyes harden like steel.“I can’t keep doing this,” he mutters, running a hand through his hair. “I’m tired of everything, I remember…” His voice trails off, and I can see the wheels turning in his head.“Remember what?” I ask, stepping closer. “What is it, Liam? What have I done that’s so unforgivable? Just tell me so I can fix it.”His eyes snap to mine, and the anger there burns like fire. “Fix it?” He lets out a b
Chapter 49Chloe’s POV“Yes cheating, did you think I don’t get to find out? Did you think you married a good!” His voice was sharp cutting through the stillness in the house. “Wha…t are you talking about?” I asked unable to comprehend what I was hearing. “I can’t believe I ever let you into my life, you cheat!” His voice is sharp and the weight of them feels like a punch to my chest.I flinch, my breath hitching as I process what he’s just said. “Liam, I—”“Don’t.” He raises his hand to silence me, his gaze colder than I’ve ever seen it. “Just don’t. I made the mistake of trusting you at first, a huge mistake. You—” he gestures toward me with disdain “—you’ve brought nothing but chaos into my life,” he breathed out heavily. My mouth opens to pronounce something, but no words come out. For a second, I’m stunned. Hurt. But then the anger sets in. “You don’t get to talk to me like that,” I say, my voice trembling but steady.He narrows his eyes. “Don’t I? After everything, you thin
Book 2 Chapter 48 Author’s POV The weight of Liam’s words cut deep into her heart, each syllable striking Chloe like a physical blow. She stared at him, her breath catching in her throat. “What do you mean by that?” she demanded, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and disbelief. He didn’t answer. Instead, he busied himself with his phone, scrolling through it as though she weren’t even there. The casual indifference in his actions ignited a fire in her chest. “Liam!” she snapped, stepping closer. “What do you mean I’m overreacting? Say it to my face.” He didn’t even look up. The phone in his hand buzzed, and before Chloe could say another word, he answered it. “Mendy,” Liam said, his voice softening, a stark contrast to the irritation he’d shown Chloe moments before. “No, it’s fine. Don’t worry about it. She’s just being dramatic again.” Chloe’s heart stopped. Her chest tightened as the words registered. He’s talking about me. She stood frozen, every muscle in her body
