Scarlett grabbed her stomach with her right hand as her face contorted in pain. She reached out with her left hand, searching for something to hold on to and the only thing she could grab was Liam's leather jacket.“What's wrong with you?” Liam asked with a frown as he stared down at her. First she peed on herself now, she was screaming in pain and grabbing his jacket. “I… I don't know” Scarlett managed to wheeze out as she slowly lowered herself to the floor, not caring if she was going to be sitting on her pee. Liam grabbed her before she got to the ground, “Is it the baby?” he asked because he could see her holding her stomach. “Yes” Scarlett nodded vigorously amidst her pain, “I think the baby is coming now. It's not supposed to come today!” She was trying not to panic, but she just couldn't. She had been warned all through the duration of her pregnancy that she was not supposed to stress herself, but that's exactly why she had been doing, stressing herself.“Then what do I nee
He couldn't be making any mistakes. Even the nurse caught the scent because she said 'congratulations, you have a baby boy'.Scarlett had his baby and not Alex's? How was that even possible? So she got pregnant from that one night they spent together? Liam could not believe it. He had not been prepared for this moment, and he was feeling so overwhelmed. Liam's heart raced as the truth sank in. The baby was his. The weight of uncertainty and fear lifted off his shoulders, replaced by a rush of overwhelming joy. He couldn't believe it. He hurriedly made his way to the room where she was and found Scarlett seated with the baby in her arms as she whispered sweet things to him. A tiny bundle of happiness, his own flesh and blood. The nurse in the room quickly stepped out to let them have their moment. Liam's heart suddenly swelled with love for both of them. He just stood there, as if lost in his own thoughts, as he watched her rock their son with a happy smile on her face. When was the
Seeing that he was being ignored, Liam cautiously stepped closer to the small bundle in front of him, his eyes fixed on the tiny face that bore an uncanny resemblance to his own. The room was suddenly filled with suffocating silence, and he could feel Scarlett's and Alex's eyes on him. He ignored them like they did him minutes ago as he struggled to comprehend the impossible truth that lay before him.As he leaned in, the scent of his own bloodline overwhelmed his senses, leaving him in a state of shock and disbelief. How could this child, this precious being, be his own flesh and blood? The mere thought seemed like a fantastical dream, a twist of fate that he never could have imagined.The emotions swirling within Liam were a whirlwind of confusion, astonishment, and overwhelming joy. He couldn't tear his gaze away from his son, his mind racing to make sense of the situation. How had this come to be? What series of events had led to this miraculous connection?The shock was etched ac
Liam's heart sank at Scarlett's refusal. He couldn't bear the thought of not being able to hold his baby. “Please, Scarlett, I'm so sorry that I failed to realize that the child is mine. I was just angry and…” Liam pleaded, his voice cracking with emotion. This was the first time in his life he was using please or sorry, and he used them both together and for the same person. He would use the word as many times as possible if it meant that he could be a part of his child's life, if it meant that Scarlett would allow him to hold their child. “I want to be a part of this baby's life, to love and care for him. Please, give me a chance.”Scarlett sulked in a sharp breath, the sleep gone from her eyes. This wasn't how things were supposed to go. She never wanted him to find out about this or be around when she delivered her child because he would surely pick up his bloodline scent from the baby. Now that he had realized the child was his, she was sure there was no way she could get rid of
“Alex, where have you been? Where did you go?” Scarlett asked him, her eyes shining in concern. Liam has mentioned something about how Alex had run off with Alana, but seeing him suddenly appear, seeing that he had come to look for her and was still worried about her, she knew that he never abandoned her. Something must have happened, something that Liam and Mandy refused to tell her. Alex took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly as he began to recount the unimaginable ordeal he had endured. From being drugged, kidnapped and waking up on an Island where he had to spend a few days without talking to Alana. A few days of enduring Alana's presence was irritating. He would give everything to not return.“Scarlett, it's difficult to put into words. My parents… they had me kidnapped. They drugged and sent me to a remote island with Alana. I was trapped, unable to escape. I was on my way to see you so that we could spend the whole day together when I was blocked on the highway and d
The next day, Scarlett was discharged and ready to go. But Liam didn't want her to go with Alex again. He wanted Scarlett and the baby to stay at the facility with him because he worried about her safety and also because he did not want her and Alex to start anything up. He suspected now that they were not in any romantic relationship and that Alex was just a helper but he was a man and he saw the way Alex looked at Scarlett. Alex was definitely in love with her and he was not going to give him the chance to confess his feelings to Scarlett. He did not know how Scarlett felt about Alex but he did not want to know, he did not care. As Scarlett was getting ready to carry their baby, Liam approached her with a serious expression on his face."Scarlett, I really think you should stay here with me at the werewolf facility. It's safer, and I worry about what could happen if you leave."Scarlett rolled her eyes at him but her eyes were filled with stubbornness and determination. She imme
Olivia stormed into the pack's house, her legs hitting the floor and her heart pounding with determination as she ran up the stairs and located Noah's office. She needed answers about Liam, and she knew Noah held the key. Why she just heard was enough to make her run mad. She had plans for goodness’s sake and she couldn't sit still and watch all her hard work and sacrifices melt to the ground.“Noah,” she called out when her eyes fell on him behind his desk. Her voice was trembling with a mix of frustration and anger. “I need to know where Liam is. It's important.”Noah's eyes narrowed as he stretched out his legs under-the-table and relaxed back on his swivel chair. The tone he used in replying to her was cold and guarded. “Olivia, it's none of your business. Stay out of pack affairs.”His words made her face turn red as her anger surged, “I'm supposed to know about the pack's affair. None of my business, you say? Everyone else might be a fool, they might think that he went there fo
Noah stepped outside his office and walked downstairs to answer Liam's call. He had tried to reach him yesterday unsuccessfully.“Alpha” he said in greeting after picking the call.“How is the pack?” Liam, who was never one for plenty of chit-chat, went straight to the point. “The pack is fine, alpha. I tried to call yesterday, but you were not picking. Olivia came looking for me today to ask questions.”“What questions?”“Where you were, and she refused to leave when I asked her too. She kept attempting to make trouble and mistakenly had a slip of tongue and said she knew you were in the human world and cohabiting with Scarlett”“She said that?” The surprise in Liam's voice could not be masked.“Yes, alpha, and I'm just as surprised as you, but it only served to confirm that she is already sinking her claws too deep in the pack's business and now has supporters and people working for her. Someone among your crew gave you out, I wonder who that is. You need to be careful, alpha. I wo
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
