Scarlett groaned as she forced her heavy eyelids open. Her vision was blurry for a while before everything came into focus. Scarlett winced and shut her eyes as the white light above her came into view, it was blinding but in that little moment of concentration, she could tell that she was not in her room at Alex's house. She did not have that kind of light above her bed. With her eyes closed, she could hear little beeping sounds and smell the disinfectant in the room. She needed no one to tell her that she was in the hospital, but what for?She thought deeply and everything came back to her like a flashback in a movie. Her eyes flew open when she remembered that she was bleeding before she passed out and woke up now.Scarlett lifted her hand and placed it on her stomach, her racing heart immediately slowed down its beat when she felt her bump. The bump was still there, and she was still alive, it could only mean that her and her baby were fine, Scarlett sighed in relief.Where was L
“I want to leave now” Scarlett snapped as she reached to pull the dip attached to her left hand.The nurse froze in shock, but it was only for a moment before she was rushing forward and grabbing Scarlett's hand to stop her, “You cannot do that, you can't just pull off your drip, Luna”Scarlett went still, including Liam at the nurse's word, but it seemed like the nurse did not notice the title she used in addressing Scarlett as all her attention was focused on making sure that Scarlett did not pull off her drip.Scarlett was looking at the nurse's mane of brown hair as the nurse bent over her hand to rearrange her drip, “I'm not your Luna” her voice came out coldly“Eh?” The nurse raised her head to give Scarlett a confused look. “I said I'm not your Luna” her voice was firm. She did not want anyone making mistakes when it came to this, so she wouldn't be punished for no reason again.Olivia might lie that she was bribing and gathering some of the wolf's to rebel against her. Olivia
“What purse?” Hot anger flared within Scarlett again and her eyes turned crimson red, “My fucking purse, man, the one I was holding when we met. It has my phone and other things!” Scarlett wanted to hurl something hard at Liam's head, as she felt that his question was dumb. She had never been this angry all through her pregnancy until now. What woman goes out without a purse? And she was even going to eat, from where would she have taken out money or card to pay? “Maybe it's still in my room, I will have Ryan bring it”Scarlett was going to ask who the fuck Ryan was, but she thinned her lips and looked away. Scarlett turned her back to him, she did not want to trouble her child but with Liam being in the same room with her and standing so close, she could not stay out of trouble.“You can follow him to your room after asking him to fetch it” I could do without you here. Liam stood there for a while, just staring at Scarlett's back. He did not need anyone to tell him that she did n
‘Where you sent her to’ a deep voice grumbled in Liam's head.Liam froze in shock, that was the voice of his wolf. Did his wolf just talk to him? His wolf, who has been silent for months now, just spoke to him. Liam could not believe it, everything felt so surreal yet, happiness filled his heart. Scarlet didn't want him around her, but with the way things were going with his wolf always showing signs of waking up and talking to him anytime he was around her, he couldn't stay away from her. “I need my phone” Scarlett snapped at him, waking him up from his reverie. This time around, Liam gave it to her without any more fuss. He watched as her fingers tapped away on the phone and clicked on that man's number. She placed the phone on her ears after that. “Hello Alex, I'm sorry I missed your call" Scarlett said immediately Alex picked her call“Scarlett? Oh, thank God. Do you know how worried I was? I have literally searched the whole city for you, even the police could not locate you.
Scarlett instantly felt nauseous as Liam opened the food in front of her. She raised her head up and blocked her nose with her hand so that she wouldn't throw up.Liam, who seemed to have noticed her action, raised a brow at her, “What's it?” He was already expecting her to pick another fight with him. Scarlett shook her head as she waved her hand at him, gesturing that he should move the food away from her. Liam was looking at her in confusion as he could not understand what was wrong with her. “I don't understand you” he told her with a frown. The nurse who ran away from them when they were quarreling chose that time to show up. “What's wrong?” She asked with a frown as she entered the room and saw the position they both were in.“Hm hm hm” Scarlett was struggling so much, she waved her hand again, nearly hitting the food and upturning it, hoping that the nurse would understand and the nurse did. She immediately walked up to Liam to snatch the food out of his hand. “It's the food
“Don't you have any important things to do today? Pack duties and all, why are you still here?”Liam lazily adjusted his position on the sofa, “You should ignore my presence”“Well, I can't. Not when your eyes are on me”“You like my eyes on you?”Scarlett frowned at him, “What happened to you?”“What happened to me?”“Stop acting like you don't know what I'm talking about” Scarlett snapped, getting frustrated because he kept answering her questions with questions of his own.“I don't read minds, now, do I? You need to tell me directly what you mean so that I don't misunderstand you”Scarlett rolled her eyes, “You are talking too much and acting like a complete ass. You used to be quiet and…” entirely different. “And that was the Liam you knew and loved?” Scarlett's face closed up, and she dropped back on the bed, sighing softly, “It's a good thing you used past tense” Liam snickered, but a knock at the door ended their conversation, it was Ryan. Liam rose and went to get the food
“What about Olivia? Does she know you are here?” Scarlett asked Liam, breaking the silence that had been reigning in the room for a long time now.A small smirk lifted the corners of Liam's lips, he brought his hand up to massage his jaw as he fixed his brown eyes on Scarlett. He knew she had been watching him for a while, but he kept his eyes on the laptop that was sitting on the small table he had Ryan move to the room.“You are finally talking to me?”Scarlett scoffed before looking away. “You should be grateful” It's been three days now, and she has not been discharged. She threw a tantrum when, on the second day, the nurse refused to let her go as promised. She nearly brought down the hospital with her screams; insulting Liam and calling him a liar. She had to be sedated that day and when she woke up, the nurse explained why she still needed to be kept in the hospital. She weighed the pros and cons and finally accepted her situation.Even if she wanted to leave, she wouldn't be
“You are free to go”The words were not completely out of nurse Annabel's mouth before Scarlett, who was no longer weak, tired and had now fully recovered her strength, was off the bed and reaching for her purse. “You will be giving birth soon, you should keep coming for checkup”“Hmm” Scarlett murmured absentmindedly. All her mind was on leaving this room and Liam's presence, which has become suffocating in the past few days.All she wanted now was to breathe in fresh air that did not smell of roses, disinfectant, or Liam's scent anytime he came close to her to give her food. Scarlett walked around Annabel intent on leaving the room, but Liam stepped in front of her, blocking her path. Scarlett caught herself and took a step back before she knocked into him. She raised her head to give him a questioning look, “What now?” She hoped he was not going to stop her because she knew that without his knowledge or consent, nurse Annabel would not be letting her leave right now. She hoped h
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
