“She collected it without my knowledge" before Scarlett could interrupt him again, he quickly moved on to explain everything to her and by the time he was done, Scarlett had a stupefied expression.“So when you found out that she impregnated herself with your sperm, you did not get angry at her because you not only wanted an heir but also because of the witch's spell. Because of your power as an alpha, her spell did not work in making you pick Olivia because your wolf blatantly rejected but then it amplified your desires thereby making it hard for you to be angry with what Olivia did. Instead, you took out your anger on the man that told her and her father about your condition and the doctor that worked with them including the guards. What about her father? Why didn't you do anything to him?”Olivia's father was not pregnant for him so why spare him? "Because Olivia would have been unhappy and this could have result in so many things happening to my child”“You never stopped to thin
“Oh God, Collins, when did you get back?” Olivia asked as she ran up to hug the man.Collins froze as Olivia's soft body hit his hard one and his eyes widened, but soon, he wrapped his arms around her and his head dropped into her neck to sniff her familiar scent. His heart, which has been beating loudly in his chest since he told Liam he wanted to come back to visit his family, immediately slowed down as her sweet scent filled his nostrils. His hand remained by his side for only a few seconds before they came around Olivia. After a few minutes of hugging, Olivia pushed back from the man to stare at his face, “How did you get here?”“Aren't you happy to see me?” The man asked her back.“Of course I am… If I'm not, would I hug you like that?”“Fair point” he knew that for Olivia to hug him, she must have been so happy but not happy because of him but because she would be free. “But we need to leave now before they are alerted that the stone was touched” the man began to back away“Wh
“Oh no, oh no" Olivia cried as she grabbed her hair that was now a tangled mess around her face. “What?" Collins asked her“My father," she shouted, “Why didn't you remind me?" “Why didn't you remind yourself?" Collins was irritated at her lame attempt to try to push the fact that she immediately forgot about her father when she saw the opportunity to escape.He has thought long and hard about how to convince her to escape without saving her father. They would not have enough time to do it anyway and they would all be caught. It came off as a surprise albeit a welcoming one when she didn't even say anything about going to save her father. He had it in mind that the both of them would run far away and they would become rogues. They were strong together and they could gather other people along the way. The both of them would be the alpha and Luna and soon, they would build their own pack. They could meet with other alpha's from small packs, build relationships with them and they cou
“Olivia has escaped" Scarlett's hand that was taking food to her mouth paused with the spoon close to her mouth. "What do you mean by that?” She asked as she returned the spoon back to her plate without eating the food on it. Her and Liam were both having dinner together. He joined her at the table. “She escaped from her cell"“How?" He already told her just yesterday that Olivia and her father, including everyone working for them, had been arrested. “She has people working with her and her father. We already have them arrested but who would have known that one of my most trustworthy men was also working with her?”“Who is that?" She tried to think of any one of his men that would betray him she knew but came up empty."Collins. He was here on the night of the full moon and asked that he return to the pack to see his family. His body was found in the forest”“His body? What happened to him?"“His heart was pulled out from his chest. He must have had a fight with Olivia and she kill
Liam really took her acceptance to return back to his pack with Jordan seriously. He gave her a week to roundup everything she needed to do while he rounded up his.For two days, she was hesitant about calling Alex. She did not know how she should tell him that she was going back home. Where would she even tell him that her home was in case he told her that he wanted to visit?She had looked him in the eyes just a week ago and told him that she wouldn't be returning back with her father but that's exactly what she was doing a week later. Her father had opened her eyes to make her see and understand that Alex loved her, she wished that he hadn't because it would have been easier to leave him. Thinking about it now, Scarlett realized that she was foolish. How could she not have known that Alex was in love with her? He practically did everything to please her and showered her with all that love in the world but she thought it was friendship love? Damn, it was no wonder his family were
“Bubba" Scarlett laughed happily as she picked up her baby who was also laughing and playing around in his crib."Allow mama to dress you up, we are going to see Alex for the last time before we leave for home, where we truly belong.” Scarlett told Jordan as she took him to the bathroom to bathe him. Scarlett found that she was slow, she was taking her sweet time bathing Jordan. She might delay but she knew she would have to meet Alex in the end, there was no running away. Scarlett stepped out of her room when she was done with a fully dressed Jordan the same time Liam was stepping out of his room. “Where are you going?” Liam asked as he took in her clothes. She was dressed to go out and the same could be said for the chubby Jordan who was playing around in her arms.“We are going to see, Alex” before he could say anything, she told him, “No matter what, I need to see him and thank him for everything he did for both Jordan and I. I owe him that, I can't just leave town like this.”
“What's going on?" Scarlett yelled in fear as Alex threw himself over her, shielding both her and Jordan with his body.“I don't know,'' Alex yelled back, amidst the noise of screams as everyone ran off.“Get off from me, we need to leave here" all that was ringing in Scarlett's mind was that she should never have come out with Jordan, what if it was Olivia and Henry that sent these men? Alex did as Scarlett said but by then, Liam's men had surrounded them, their guns were out as they led Scarlett, Alex and Jordan safely to where James parked the car.From the side of her eyes, Scarlett could see the unknown gunmen heading in the direction opposite them and she knew that they were not there for her. These men were the ones she saw while talking to Alex but never paid them any attention. She thought that they might be there with another family; bodyguards. “What was that about?" Scarlett asked, her heart still beating fast in fear as she looked back at the park through the glass at t
Scarlett's eyes were red and swollen when she got home, Liam did not have to ask why because he knew already. He was anxiously pacing around at the front door when Scarlett came in with Jordan. His men had called to tell him about the shoot out and he hadn't been able to sit still, he wanted to see Scarlett and Jordan back in one piece before he could calm down.“You'll be fine, little cat" he murmured as she walked past him, climbed the stairs and went to shut herself inside her room. He couldn't console her so he left to his study where he also shut himself and called Noah to get updates about the people they had tried to sneak into Henry's pack.***The next day, Scarlett picked herself up and went to take her bath. She was not surprised to see that her eyes were red and swollen when she caught a glimpse of her face in the mirror. She spent the whole night crying but it is now time to face the reality of things.It was already late when Scarlett got dressed, put on some clean clot
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. So many things happened while creating this story and I never thought I would complete it, but I did and it was only possible because I knew you were following my story and waiting for it next chapter.My new story has been made available by my editor recently, Chasing His Contracted Wife. 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
