His cage has arrived. Liam was supposed to spend day and night with Scarlett and Jordan but it was going to be impossible because Jama had been able to convince his father to help them without getting anything in return and his father was asking that Liam return to the werewolf world. Jama’s father, Henry, wanted to see him because that was the only way he could locate the dark witch. They will be performing a ritual.Liam had tried to convince Henry to give him a little time, but Henry stubbornly refused. Henry also had a mission he was supposed to go on, he refused to allow Liam to delay him. Scarlet was still having her migraines and though they seemed to have reduced drastically, Liam was still afraid that once he left it would worsen.“I will be going back to the pack tomorrow,” Liam told Scarlett once he got back home that day. He watched as her face closed up, and she turned away from him after saying okay. Liam quickly stopped her before she could move away from him.He could
Liam told her that she might be asleep by the time he left for his pack in the morning, so Scarlett was surprised to see Liam standing in front of her room when she stepped out in the morning with a crying Jordan in her arms."Eh? I thought you were going back home today?" Scarlett asked him in surprise. She did not notice that she called his pack home but Liam definitely noticed and his eyes sparkled with happiness. Her words meant that she still saw his pack as her home, he couldn't be more happy."Change of plans. Something came up" he reached out a hand to take Jordan from her. "Something?" Scarlett asked as she handed the child over to him, "I'm not going to ask what it is" "But you are curious" Scarlett have a small shrug, "Yup, but still, I'm not going to ask"She walked past him and went downstairs to the kitchen. Jordan was hungry and she needed to feed him."We can have our talk today" Liam who followed her to the kitchen stood by the door as he bounced Jordan in his arm
Even though Aaron sat back down because of Liam's command, Liam could not keep his mouth shut or stop Aaron's eyes from glaring daggers at him“How did Olivia lay her hands on the wolfsbane, Liam?” Aaron pushed. He had once been Liam's father's beta and knew how the wolfsbane was kept, and the security measures involved in safeguarding it. Unless Liam handed it over to Olivia, she would never have laid hands on it. “On the full moon” “What full moon?” Aaron was getting impatient. He wanted to know everything. There were so many things that Liam was keeping from him. Recently, he has begun to withdraw from pack duties. Liam was now old enough to take over everything in the pack and do things without his help, but he was beginning to think that it was a mistake on his part, he should have still been actively involved in everything. “My migraine worsened, Uncle Aaron and I needed to take care so that I don't go berserk and destroy the pack. I got a silver cage and always ask Noah to p
She cried. Scarlett could not believe everything she just heard. Willow had gone out to spend time with Felicia and Jordan was sleeping when Liam sent James to call her to his study.The silence was suffocating, the air was filled with tension, and she felt uncomfortable with the way her father and Liam were watching her as she sat down.“Okay, what's going on?” She asked Liam, but her eyes were on her father. “There are so many things you need to know, things we need to tell you that we've been…” Aaron shook his head, "Not we but him alone” he pointed at Liam, “Has been hiding us. He just told me now, so we have to tell you too” “Okay…” she took her eyes off her father and looked at Liam. Her palms became sweaty immediately, her eyes met his. He looked uncomfortable and too serious. “What's it that you want to tell me?” “You have a wolf, Scarlett” Liam said, straight to the point as he saw no need in beating around the bush. Scarlett froze, but then she burst into loud mocking la
She could still remember how she and her father had made plans about them running in their wolf form together once she got her wolf. How they would play catch and then her father would help her train her wolf to be strong. All of these, they couldn't do because of Olivia and her father.Olivia was just a year older than her so she wondered how Olivia got such an evil mind to start poisoning her at the age of eighteen. Must be her father pushing her into doing all these evil deeds. "Don't cry, Scarlett" Aaron wrapped his arms around Scarlett to console her even as tears brimmed under his closed eyelids. Scarlett was shaking her head. Not only her dreams of becoming Luna were destroyed, her father's dream of running with her in the woods and of training her, of seeing his only child become a full-fledged wolf was also ruined.Aaron held Scarlett as she cried and cried until there were no more tears in her eyes. He pushed her back to stare at her red face, "it's okay to cry for the pas
Alex was happy to see her. After telling her father that she wanted him to meet Alex before he returned back to the pack, she did not wait for his response before moving to pick her phone to call Alex.She told Alex that she wanted him to meet her father, and he was eager. He had been waiting for her call for the longest time since she asked him to stay away for a while. He had been worried that Liam was holding her and her baby hostage. She took Jordan with her, and they walked past Liam on their way out. Scarlet walked past him without even a backward glance. She could feel his eyes boring a hole in her head as her father stopped to talk to him or to tell him where they were headed. “I told him that we are going to meet Alex and I think he is worried that you want to get together with Alex.” her father told her as he joined her in the car with James.“He shouldn't be. After all, he already ruined me for any man that would come”“Scarlett,” her father gasped in shock, “You cannot s
Alex and her father became friends so fast that Scarlett was quickly forgotten. They had so many things they both liked, and they also bonded over Jordan who, by now, had been handed over to Alex by her father when he noticed Alex's lingering gaze on the baby.“His name is Jordan?”Alex's head that was bent as he played with the baby came up so fast. A deep frown was etched on his face, “Jordan?” He could vividly remember that the name Jordan was among the names Liam suggested to Scarlett, but she refused. He had been hoping that he would be the one to name the baby but guess the father will always win in the end. “Yes, Jordan. My father came up with the name” Scarlett responded.The frown disappeared quickly to be replaced by a bright smile, “Your father did? It's a nice name”Aaron, who noticed the whole change of expression on Alex, smiled, but it was a sad one. It was clear as day that Alex was in love with his daughter, his entire actions gave him away; Alex gave Scarlett his un
“Dad” Scarlett sniffed as she grabbed her father in a hug. He was returning this morning to the pack, and Scarlett felt like gathering her and Jordan's things so that they could go with him.“Hey,” Aaron sighed as he rubbed her back. She'd been crying since she woke up to help him pack his things. “You could just come back to the pack, then all of this will jot have to happen. We won't have to say goodbyes or be apart.” “Dad, you know that's not going to happen”“And you know that you can't stay here forever. You will have to come back to him eventually. Even if not for your sake, then for Jordan, because he is an alpha that needs to familiarize himself with the werewolf world and to also start his training early.”Scarlett pushed herself away from her father. She met his eyes with her cold ones, the tears had immediately dried up at his words, “I Will be damned before I let my innocent child go back to the corrupt pack.”Aaron shook his head with a pitiful smile, “Wake up from your
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
