Chapter 26 The dealIt was a Saturday and Mia was super excited as she looked up to their date every week. She wanted to race in the wood so bad."I see someone is eager to race." Liam teased as he dropped the bag that had the clothes he would change into at the back of a tree that now served as their usual spot.Mia clapped her hands together in delight. “I am so ready to beat you hands down today."Liam laughed. "Okay champ, any way you want it.""Let's do this." Mia smirked.The both of them shifted into their wolf forms and raced each other through the woods. Running with all her might, Mia ensured she was few feet ahead of him when she got to where their race ended. Liam had always beaten her to it and she wanted to show him how willing and far she could go when she wanted something. Shifting back into their human form, each of them took a shade behind the tree to get dressed."That was so good." Liam commented as they head out of the woods to the street.Mia’s face glowed with p
Chapter 27 Finding MiaAsher paced around the mini office he had rented in town to carry out his business till he expands. The company he got the contract from were generous enough to let him have a month to himself and after that they began calling for update on the project he was handling. Focusing was hard so he couldn't do much, but he knew better than to let the offer slid through his hands again like the time Mia was sick."Mia. Mia. Mia. Where are you? Please baby come home to me.” He whispered.Where has she been all this while? What has she been up to? He had put a call through to the private investigator his father had hired but he hadn't been able to find any clue that would lead to her. Asher couldn’t stop thinking about what might have gone wrong. What could have gone wrong within the few hours they left each other surpassed him. Mia looked very fine and happy the night before the wedding and he was sure he had not done anything to piss her off.The excuse Mia gave in the
Chapter 28 Liam and Arabella"Liam, a lady just called me from the airport saying she is from Barbara. She says she hasn’t been able to reach her friend Barbara and she is the mother to the lady Barbara had given her house key.” Jack explained to his friend as he slipped on his jacket."Oh, the girl from the other day. It has been months since I saw her.""It's not like you did see her that day. You told me, you were not interested in meeting her. And from my own view, there is something strange about her though and I could have sworn she had a wolfy nature."Liam laughed out. “A wolfy nature? Your association with me has really corrupted your memory. How can anyone just be a werewolf to you. Stop hallucinating. As far as I know, werewolves are a rare specie in today’s world.” He said.Liam’s mind raced back to Mia. He should call her. It had been a while since they spoke. She hadn't been picking his calls since that night and he thought it right to give her the space she needed."May
Chapter 29 The Curse"Mom!" Mia screamed running towards her mother while Liam was quick to hold on to her before she hit the ground. Jack moved from where he stood and ran through the workshop waiting area to get water. She got revived after a couple of minutes.This time Arabella was in her daughter’s arms while Liam and Jack stared down at her. Arabella blinked rapidly when her eyes met Liam’s again. "Liam?" She called out again. She tried to sit up. “Is this you? You are alive?"Mia looked from her mom to Liam trying to understand what was going on. Liam couldn't believe his eyes either as he bent down towards her to touch her face. It felt real. "Bella? My Arabella. It's really you." She nodded her head as tears welled up in her eyes. He hugged her tightly.Mia stared shellshocked at both of them. “My Arabella? You know each other?""I thought you died…Liam. If you were alive why didn't you come look for me?” Arabella asked."I was saved by Jack here." Liam replied, pointing towa
Chapter 30 Multi-million dollars dealAmanda sighed deeply, she stared at her son digging into the plate with no emotion. The last time she had seen him smile was a day before his intended wedding. Everything had been fine before the unfortunate incident that occurred.Standing up, Asher murmured a good bye and left the house without sparing his mother a glance. She teared up, Fred alighted the stairs, noticed her countenance and he made a move to hold on to her."What is the matter, Amanda?” He queried with a worried look on his face."Have you seen the way our son behave this days?""What can we do Amanda? He has to heal himself. We can’t force it on him.”"He shouldn't be the one facing this, he loved her with all of his heart so how could she betray him in such manner." She wailed."You and I know Mia isn't like that, whatever must have gone wrong had been beyond her power. We all don't understand because she is nowhere to be found.""What if Asher never recovers and he lapse into
Chapter 31 The Family Reunion"Hi." Liam rubbed his palms together as he settled on the couch facing her directly."Hi." Mia drawled.Liam cleared his throat, trying to find the right words to say to her. "Your mom told me you love making furniture, seems like we both have many things in common." He chuckled nervously with his eyes looking everywhere but her. "How did I not notice you had all of my features." He bit on his lips hard."Dad." Mia called out.It sounded foreign to her but judging by his expression and what Jack had told her, he had no control over the turns their lives had taken. She wanted to relay her pains to her father badly since he also went through something similar.“Dad.” She repeated.Liam jerked on the chair almost falling off, he wasn't expecting that she would call him that so soon. "Yes."Mia stood up, moved closer and knelt next to him to hold his hands. "I accepted that I was fatherless since a tender age but I have always wanted a father. Having you righ

Even though you missed my wedding, I still miss you all the same!” Cheryl said, holding her hands with a bright smile on her expression.Mia smiled back.

Chapter 33 She is backAsher woke up from his king-sized fluffy bed, yawning loudly. He stared around the room like he was lost in a strange land. Then he remembered why it looked different, he had brought in two ladies for a rough night when he went to club. His routine over the years was, work, club, and random sex. He wasn't planning to change it anyways cause it suited him just fine.He slapped the ladies on their naked butt to wake them up. He walked towards his drawer, pulling out some bundles of cash and he threw it at them."You both should get dressed and get the fuck out in five minutes. That’s all the time you have got before I get the guards to throw you both out." He sneered.The ladies muttered incoherent words as they ran through their things and running out of the penthouse. He didn't care what they thought about him, he had only brought them in to please him. They had no right to complain since he paid them off.Checking his time he had only twenty minutes to get read
