“You know that making Liam weak still won't stop his soldiers from fighting back right?” when Henry frowned at her in confusion. Olivia explained, “I know his Gemma, Isaac so well and there is also Noah who I want to kill with my own hands. Those two are strong-headed men and with them alone, Liam's pack is in safe hands. If we are to succeed in this fight, we also need to get rid of them. With Liam weak, they can be thrown into pandemonium but still, they would fight back.”“What do you suggest we do, my love?”Olivia cocked her head to the side as she squinted at Henry. If she had not heard much about his intelligence and how he defeated other packs to make his pack become as big as it was now, she would have said he was a useless man bearing the title of alpha but she knew that he wanted to hear her opinion. He wanted her to destroy Liam in whichever way she wanted because of everything she told him he did to her which were all lies. Olivia felt her heart melt with love for him. H
Scarlett has been trying her best to avoid him after their near-sex two days ago but Liam was definitely not giving her the chance to withdraw into her shell.He was always with her; he maintained eye contact with her, brushed his hands against her anytime he walked past her. Always pressing a kiss to her lips after kissing Jordan's head at every opportunity he gets. He would place his hand at the back of her head to hold her still each time because she would always try to draw back. Everyone in the family took the news of them being mates too well, everyone was happy about it but they were yet to announce it to the public or the fact that Scarlett's son was Liam's.They were keeping everything under wraps until they were truly rid of Olivia and Henry. Liam even took over her training and asked her trainer to take a little break. Like now, they were all alone in his personal training room and he was coaching her on how to quickly change into her wolf so as not to experience too much
The room remained silent as they waited for Samuel to gather himself together and start talking. When even after a few minutes he had not said anything but was just shaking with his head bent, Liam cleared his throat, “Do you need us to give you more time to gather yourself together?”“Ah?" Samuel's head snapped up and when Liam's words registered in his head, he shook his head quickly, “No, I will talk now"“Okay" They waited another five minutes again and by then, they were all losing patience. Noah was about to snap and Scarlett noticed it. She quickly raised a hand and gestured at him to stop because she was going to be taking over the situation. Liam nodded at Noah to allow her do what she wanted as he relaxed back on his seat and stretched out his legs in front of him. He folded his hands across his chest and waited for Scarlett to take over the situation. He hated interrogation as he was a man of few words, he preferred to torture whatever information he needed out of his en
They took the wolfsbane and drugs from Samuel but left the money for him. He was to always update them with information through a new phone they got for him. He would go about his daily life like he always did in the past — from his training to his mate's grave — and he would also tell Olivia that their plan was a success and that he was able to bribe one of the kitchen staff who was greedy and wanted more money to live a luxurious life.Scarlett's wolf who they thought to be so playful turned serious all of a sudden and began to take her training with Liam seriously. For Olivia to believe them, Liam was not to step out of the house. Olivia might have someone else that she was getting information from or that she might have even given the same assignment she gave to Samuel, to the person. They were not willing to take any risk so they made sure to screen all of Liam's food before he digested any of it.Issac continued with training the soldiers like he has been doing for months while
“Tango what?" Scarlett asked as she began to struggle to be free from his hold. “Let me down!" She snapped when he held her tighter against his chest and refused to drop her.“No" Liam smirked as he stopped and leaned down to drop a kiss on her opened mouth. He was still shook from what he just witnessed. Noah and Jama? A witch and a wolf and they've been hiding it from him for years? It looked to him that Noah had been willing but Jama hadn't and that must have been the reason why Noah did not say anything; he wanted to pursue Jama himself and make him accept the bond. He won't be saying anything or asking any questions until they tell him. He was sure that they would do so now that they were together. Scarlett tore her mouth from his when she heard approaching footsteps and she doubled her struggle. He was carrying her princess style and while she was scared of falling, she was more scared of what the workers in the pack house would say or think if they saw her and Liam in such a
“The hell” Willow screamed in shock when she saw the mating mark on Scarlett's neck when she walked into her room to see her godson. Scarlett was rubbing at the mark and that was how Willow met her. She rushed up to push Scarlett's hair away from her neck so that she could see the mark well, “Please, tell me that this is real." Willow begged. Scarlett blushed red before she gently pushed Willow away and pulled her hair back over the mark but Willow was having none of it. She pushed the hair away again and dropped her head into Scarlett's neck to sniff the mark, “Really smells like the alpha. You are beginning to take on his scent" "Yeah” Scarlett murmured. She was already perceiving the change in her scent and she was liking it.After Liam marked her last night, the made love again but Scarlett preferred to say that he fucked her hard twice again, thoroughly marking every inch of her body to clear all the doubts from her mind and make her understand that they now belong together. “
The day came by faster than they expected. Just like that, time flew by quickly and they found themselves gearing up and preparing for battle.Two alphas from the ones that told Henry they would support him decided to change teams and alert Liam of Henry's plan. Henry could not be trusted and helping him become the alpha of the largest pack could come back to bite them in the butt. They have never been Henry's or Liam's supporters or friends, they were just neutral but they trusted such power with Liam more than they did with Henry. Liam, who had been having two minds about reaching out to alpha Cameron to ask for help —because he knew that the man was busy looking for how to unroot and wipe every knowledge the human had about werewolves alongside the elders — changed his mind when the two other alphas reached out to him. They decided to go after Henry two days before the two weeks Henry was supposed to attack him came. Scarlett refused to sit back and allow him to go to war alone.
It's been three months since Alana walked out of their wedding with her professor lover and three months and six days since he last heard from or saw Scarlett so he was surprised to see a message on his phone's screen when he woke up from in his hotel room with a hangover.Alex groaned as he forced himself out of his bed and went in search of some hangover drugs which he knew Thomas kept somewhere in the room. After finding it in a drawer, he knocked out two pills in his palm and grabbed the bottle of water on the table in the room. He unscrewed the cover before he took the drugs. His face squeezed in a frown at the bitter taste of the drug. He sat down and allowed the effect of the drugs to fully kick in before reaching for his phone to read Scarlett's message. He had little hope that she was messaging him because Liam had done something bad to her and she wanted to come back to his side but her message held a different content. She was happy and she missed him. She heard about his
