Liam, like every wolf, had wanted to find his fated mate. He, like every other person, wanted the love that came with being with the mate the moon goddess picked for him. He wanted love, and he wanted a family of his own. So, when he couldn't find her, he was heartbroken but had to move on to picking a mate for himself. He attended many werewolf gatherings hoping to pick a woman who caught his eyes, but he never found one until that fateful day he saw Scarlett on the training grounds. He’d known immediately that she was the one. It just felt so right, he did not think twice about picking her. He told himself many times that it was because of her father's rank; he was also doing her a favor by placing her above her peers. But with what Jama was saying and what was happening right now, it was his wolf that helped him pick Scarlett.Oh, his wolf immediately accepted her, when he had been thinking he would have to make his wolf like whoever it was that he would pick. His wolf who likes S
“Your brother is not here,” Scarlett said as Mandy opened her office door and strutted in.“I know that,” Mandy said with an eye roll as she placed her bag on Scarlett’s work desk and dropped on the seat opposite her“Of course you do” After that, Scarlet ignored her and focused all her attention on the movie she was watching before her assistant notified her of Mandy’s presence.A wicked glint flashed through Mandy's eyes when she saw that Scarlett was paying more attention to the movie playing on the television than to her. She adjusted on her seat and cleared her throat, “Uh, of course, I do know that my brother has gone on a one-week trip with his beloved fiancé and future wife to Italy.” she smiled widely when she saw the way Scarlett stiffened, “Oh, he didn't tell you that did he? Poor thing” her voice held mockery.Scarlett sighed as she moved her eyes from the television to Mandy, “What do you want, Mandy?” Alex told her that he was going on another one of those his business tr
Scarlett was still staring at the door minutes after Mandy left. To become Luna of her pack, she’d been taught so many things. Apart from etiquette, how to be a leader and how to fight, she had been taught about how scheming the people in the upper class were. With the goddess in her heart and how she had been protected all her life by her father, Scarlett had told herself that it was not possible for anyone to be that evil. It wasn't until Olivia did what she did to her that her eyes finally opened. She was not going to be taking any chances with her child.It was just for a few months that she had been working for Alex, but she had been saving every penny she got here; Alex was taking care of her every need, including hospital bills and feeding. She had always known that she wouldn't stay with Alex forever; he would meet a woman one day and get married. He might have his own house that he was living in, but women were territorial; the wife might not like her and would want her to
Liam was resting on the hood of his car when Scarlett exited the hotel with Joy when they’d closed from work. Seeing him there was a surprise to Scarlett because that was the hotel's underground parking lot reserved solely for their workers. She wondered how he was able to drive his car in when he had no worker's ID but knowing Liam, he would get whatever he wanted through nook and cranny. Since she knew that Liam could be waiting for her outside the hotel anytime he wanted, she told her driver to always park the car there. This way he wouldn't be able to stop her when she was going home. They had already locked gazes but Scarlett did not care, she was going to be ignoring him but of course, Liam wouldn't let her. He stood straight and began to walk up to her. “How was work today, little cat?” he asked as he stood in her way, blocking her from walking forward. Scarlet took a step back as they were standing too close for comfort, “What do you want this time around?” all she wanted
“A new apartment huh? Tired of living with him already?” Liam asked as he stood to one side of the house, watching as Scarlett spoke to the person who owned the building.His lips twitched when he saw that she was not going to answer him. She has been ignoring him since Joy gave him the address of this place making him wonder if she would have allowed him to keep driving the whole evening.“Yeah, she told me she wanted to have a place of her own”Liam looked at Joy who was standing a foot away from him. Just one cold look and a cock of his head had her scrambling away from him to the furthest corner of the room they were in.“So, do you like the place?” Liam asked as they left the building. He’d not listened to anything that Scarlett was discussing with the building owner, he was busy on his phone where Noah was updating him about the pack and what Olivia had been up to.Scarlett had bade Joy goodbye since she was living in the building so it was only the two of them.“Trying to make
She’d said that she wasn't hungry, but she ate more than he did. Liam spent half of their time at the diner watching her eat. Even when she ate fast, she did it so neatly. She has not forgotten her etiquette classes. She had always grumbled and complained to him at every opportunity she got about how she hated her etiquette classes, especially the teacher. Most of those times, he never paid her any attention. “I’m done for today. I've already allowed you to drive me, accompanied you to dinner, and even joined you. Could you please take me home now?”“Why are you in such a hurry?”“Because it's late already, and it’s past my bedtime” Scarlett sighed as she placed both hands on the table separating them and locked eyes with him, “Look Liam, all I want to do right now is lay down, and rest my head because I'm so tired I feel like I am about to drop dead”“All right, let's get you home” Liam dropped his fork, pushed back his chair, and rose.“Thank you” Scarlett sighed as she stood w
Liam jumped up from his bed when he heard Scarlett screaming. She was lying with her back on the bed, face up and her eyes were open which meant that she was not having a nightmare.“What's wrong with you? Are you trying to bring the whole place down?” Liam asked her, his voice still groggy from sleep. He could not remember when he last slept all through the night or even dreamt while at it but he did so last night. Scarlett just had to disrupt his sleep when the dream he was having was getting to the good part.Scarlett turned her head to the side to stare at him and her eyes widened even more when she saw that he was the one beside her.“What's wrong with me? Are you serious right now?” she asked incredulously, “What in heaven's name am I doing here and with you in bed with me?”Liam could already see the wheels rolling in her head and panic setting in especially when she looked down and saw that she was not wearing the clothes she wore to work yesterday.“Calm down, little cat” he
Again, Liam was waiting for her at the parking lot in the exact position he had been in when she walked out of her office yesterday.“Where did you send my driver to again?” Scarlett asked, her voice was cold and she refused to meet his eyes.“I did not send your driver anywhere. I was not the one that sent him away yesterday”“And you expect e to believe you?” he was a fucking lair and his action last night proved it. He had promised that he would take her home and she believed him but he didn’t. She had tried not to think about it all day because she felt stupid for believing him.“Why don't you try and call him, see if he would pick up or if his number will go through? Don't forget to call your bodyguard while at it” Liam folded his legs at the ankle and slouched back against the hood of his car.“I dismissed the bodyguard from working me with long ago,” Scarlett said as she turned away to fish for her phone in her purse to call the driver for the umpteenth time today.“You dismiss
Dear wonderful readers of mine,If you are seeing this that only means you read this book until the end. I just want to tell you how great you are for reading my story and how much I appreciate it.

Real updates would start next month while I also try to complete my ongoing books. Looking forward to seeing you read my next books.I hope you loved Scarlett and Liam's story and also, Willow and Marshall's story. Thanks for coming this far with me.Thank you so much.
There was no going back now. It's been six years since she agreed to drop all of her past behind and focus on her future which happened to be Marshall. Six fucking years since she let Scarlett convince her to follow her heart and be with Marshall and Marshall had never done anything to make her regret it.It was really funny how she was the one they convinced and pushed Scarlett to return back to Liam and years later, Scarlett did that same thing for her. She learned one lesson from this: it was wonderful to have good friends around that would push you to keep going when you wanted to give up. It was great to also be a good friend.Her life with Marshall has been filled with laughter, love, joy and different adventures. That night she had taken the bold step to first mark Marshall as hers was the first and not the last wonderful night she's had. The both of them had turned off their phones and spent the next three days just being together and getting to know more of each other. Ther
“You smelt and tracked me down? But I was with Harrison back then and second chances mates can never identify or smell each other while they are still with their first mate except after rejection or the other dies. If you really smelt me, why didn't I do the same?” A tiny frown creased Willow's brows as she thought back to the day Marshall first walked up to her in the garden. He had said that she was “Her”. She had thought he was referring to her being Harrison's mate, she thought wrong.This time, Willow let go of her fork, ignoring Marshall's disapproving look as she folded her hands across her chest.Marshall's eyes darted from her face to the fork, “You should eat.”“I need answers. I will eat when I've gotten them.” how did he know back then and she didn't?Marshall looked ready to argue but he thought better about it. “Fine. I'm not a regular werewolf like you and…”Willow interrupted him and asked the question that had been on her mind for the longest time, “What are you?” “
Willow squirmed in her seat and her hand shook as she carried food to her mouth. After the deep toe curling kiss Marshall gave her at the door after convincing her to stay with him in the beach house for the next three days, they moved to the patio at the back of the beach house where their dinner was waiting for them. According to Marshall, there was an older woman in the house who prepared the food and set out the table. She left the moment he notified her that they were close to give them their privacy.Since they sat down to eat, Marshall had not taken his eyes off her. Not even when he was eating or reaching for his glass of wine. At first, she thought he would take his eyes off her but after eating a little of his food and emptying his glass of wine, he did not move to pour out more for himself. Instead, he set the glass and his fork down and placed his full attention on her, causing her to be uncomfortable.When Willow couldn't take it anymore and felt like he was purposely doin
“We are here."By the time they got to their destination, Marshall had made her come twice. Her body was shaking in pleasure and her mind was lost in ecstasy, he had to repeat himself.“We are here,” his voice was firmer, dragging her out of the haze she was in.Willow stiffened and her eyes that were closed in pleasure snapped open and she brought down her head that had been titled back to look out of the window as she tried to hard her red cheeks. She was surprised at the fact that he was speaking so calmly after making her come twice in a roll. He did all this while driving them to wherever it was that he was taking her to dinner. The man deserved a round of applause. She could feel her wolf just below the surface, fighting to be let out but Willow shoved her back down. Her wolf was super excited, she might push Willow to jump Marshall inside the car and it would just be so shameful when her wolf retreats later and leaves her alone. It wouldn't be so bad, they were mates after al
Willow halted in her steps as she came out of the pack house and found Marshall leaning against the hood of his car right outside the building. He has his hands shoved inside his pants pocket and his eyes that have been staring at the floor immediately looked up at her as if he smelt her and knew that she was standing there — maybe he did.“Why did you stop?” Scarlett who was beside her whispered.Willow cleared her throat but did not take her eyes off Marshall to look at her friend who she knew must be wearing a teasing expression right now, “Nothing,” she began to move after that. Taking the stairs one after the order, all her attention focused on putting one leg in front of the order and now dropping to the ground in a puddle because of the way Marshall was staring at her as she walked up to him.“Enjoy yourself and don't come back. Make babies, I'm old enough to be an aunty.” Scarlett who has stopped walking with Willow raised her voice and said just before Willow heard her recedi
Willow grumbled under her breath as she dragged herself up from the bed and walked to the door to throw it open. After Scarlett left, she spent a few minutes or hours just staring at the ceiling with her kind roaming here and there, just thinking until she fell asleep. Now, she was woken up by loud knocks on her door. If she was not in the pack house, she would have known that it was one of the maids in the house, she just hoped that it was not about work. She risked a glance at the wall clock and saw that it was evening already. In an hour or two, it would be dark outside.Willow ran her hands through her hair to arrange it. She did it subconsciously and caught herself immediately. Why had she done that? It was just one of the workers knocking or even Scarlett so why would she try to arrange her appearance? No, she was not hoping that it was Marshall.“Oh, yes you are.” Her wolf taunted.“No, I'm not.” Willow snapped as she reached for the door knob.“I won't judge.” Her wolf snicker
Willow frowned, “Then what would you say?”“Well,” Scarlett gave a little shrug of her shoulder as she looked away, “He wanted to see you so he is here.”“And I would say you are lying, Scarlett.” Willow said as she shot Scarlett a hard glare.Scarlett looked at her then, “Does it really matter how he got here, Willow? What matters is that he is here and he is your second chance mate. Even if I was not expecting it, it's a bonus point. This is your opportunity, Willow. Your opportunity to find happiness. Let go of your past and embrace your future.”“He has a fucking chosen mate, Scarlett. Like Harrison, he already has a mate so there is no embracing of the future here.” Willow's voice shook at the end and she felt pressure at the back of her eyes.Scarlett frowned at her, “What mate are we talking about here?”“Don't act like you don't know the mate I'm talking about. Rumi!” Willow snapped, her heart twisting with pain.“So you were really serious when you said you were going to be s
Willow's heartbeat immediately picked up speed and began to beat wild and fast against her ribcage. Her heart was threatening to burst and spill out of her chest. Willow has only felt like this once in her life and that was the day she met Harrison and found out that he was her mate and the person she was destined to love and be with for the rest of her life. She was feeling like that again because of one person and it was this unknown alpha who was sitting with his back to her and talking to Liam.Willow had the urge to run up to him and curl up into his arms, sniff his scent and claim him as hers but she squeezed her hands into fists and held herself back. No way in hell was she going to be taking in a second chance mate, not after everything that happened between her and Harrison. She was going to move on with her life like she was already doing without looking back. Who knows if this alpha already have a mate too? Wolf forced her wolf down and warned her to behave.Willow knew th
