Liam stood with his hands crossed behind his back as he watched his soldiers spar and the new recruits learn the basics of hand to hand combat. His eyes were darting around like that of a hawk, and he was picking out soldiers who had potential to join his private army. He would personally train them. So far, he has found only one who was worthy enough to join. The lad was still young—around nineteen years of age—but Liam could see that the boy would go far. He had refused to accept defeat from his partner who was a trained soldier and kept jumping back to his feet once his back hit the ground. It was good, but it was also a bad trait. Liam would work on him in that aspect.Liam watched the young lad's fight for a while before his mind wandered off. Three days had passed since the full moon, and he had recovered; his injury had closed up, but he could feel it within himself that he had become weaker. He has been having migraines, but once Scarlett left, it became worse. He could no l
“Watch your tone and words, Olivia” a voice growled behind Olivia. She twirled around only to come face to face with an angry Noah, neither her nor Liam had noticed.“I am just concerned about my mate. This has nothing to do with you, Noah, so I beg you to leave us alone” Olivia snapped.“You should….” Noah took a menacing step forward toward Olivia, but Liam stopped him by raising one hand. “Leave Olivia. You don't want this to get out of proportion. I will call you when I need you” Liam's voice was cold. Olivia spun around, her blonde hair flying with the wind to face Liam, her baby blue eyes were lit with an angry fire, “You want me to go? What's going Liam? I am your mate, for goodness’s sake. You never treated Scarlett like this!”“He never treated Scarlett like this because she was chosen by him, not forced upon him” Noah snapped behind her Olivia ignored Noah's words and kept all her attention on Liam, “I am the mother of your child….” “The child is dead,” Noah interrupted
“Alpha” Liam did not turn around, he waited for his Gemma to come stand before him.“Alpha, Aaron is a little bit better now. His maid sent a message that he was found watering the roses in the garden this morning” “ That's good” Liam nodded before turning to walk back to the pack house which was close to the training field. 'He was found watering the roses in the garden' those words kept repeating themselves over and over again like a broken record in Liam's head as he opened the door of his bedroom there and walked inside.He couldn't sit still, so he went to stand by the window to stare out. His window was facing the training field. He was going to keep watching the young lad's fight, but his mind kept going back to Aaron.It was supposed to be a good thing that Aaron was now up and about, that he was presently out of his room and was no longer in a state of shock like he had been in the past few months, but it wasn't. Why did he think in the first place that Aaron would forget
“Alana!!” Mandy called out as she waved her hands in the air, bouncing excitedly on her feet. Alana turned around and happiness filled her eyes when they settled on Mandy, who was waving happily at her. She raced over to her, “How have you been, Mandy? I miss you” she threw her hands around Mandy and the both of them hugged each other. “I miss you too” Mandy pulled away to take a good look at Alana's face, “look at you, you are looking so beautiful. More beautiful than the last time I saw you, and you grew your hair?”With wide eyes, Mandy reached out to touch Alana's hair, rolling the tips on her finger, “You even dyed it blonde like I have always wanted you to”Alana had a sheepish smile as she nervously reached out to touch her hair, “What do you think? Is it fine? My course mates said blonde looks good on me”.Mandy rolled her eyes, “Of course, blonde looks good on you. I have literally been begging you to dye your hair blonde. You look so pretty”.Alana smiled widely like a gid
“I think it's Scarlett."Liam moved from the window within seconds and snatched the paper from Noah's hand. He opened it and stared at the picture of the woman he thought he would never see again, since she had already been declared dead.It was her. Liam was hundred percent sure of it. He would recognize her anywhere. Those chocolate brown eyes and bright smile. Those eyes used to look at him and those lips used to smile at him before. But now, she was smiling at someone else; a man who was standing beside her. His Scarlett was smiling at someone else that was not him. Something gripped his heart like a fist and squeezed them. Liam couldn't breathe. Liam's throat went dry, and he squeezed the newspaper in his hands. Why was Scarlett smiling at another man? Why did the man have his arms around her shoulders? Why was she gazing up at the man with stars in her eyes like she was in love with him? He felt like disappearing into the newspaper to separate his Scarlett from this man, whoev
“For the life of me, I cannot understand this.” The new doctor Alex got for Scarlett told her as he stared at her baby on the monitor.She had come for another check up since doctor Lindsay wanted to monitor her and the baby until its birth. She was always at the hospital every four days for checkups.“What's that doctor?” Scarlett asked like she did not know what doctor Lindsay would say. She knew already, as she first heard it from doctor Imelda and now him. “You are just six-months pregnant, but your baby is almost fully formed and ready for delivery.” Doctor Lindsay was looking at the monitor with furrowed brows. “I do not understand this. I have never seen something like this before. No human has ever given birth to a fully formed and matured baby at seven months, but here it looks like your baby would be born in a month's time.”Well, it's a good thing that I'm not human, I would have been scared for my life and that of my baby, Scarlett thought as she rubbed her nose.“But the
Scarlett looked back out of the car as it made a U-turn and entered the road that led to the hotel. Her eyes zeroed in on another magazine in a stall. Like the one beside her, it had her and Alex's picture on it, but this one was not a business magazine. It was a gossip magazine.“Stop the car.” she told the driver and was thrown forward when he abruptly did. “Careful” Rogan snapped at the driver“Get me that magazine there.” Scarlett told Rogan as she jerked her chin in the direction of the stall.Rogan left the car and approximately four minutes later, he returned to her with the magazine. “Thank you” Scarlett received the magazine and cringed really hard as she read the headings that were in glaring bright red and bold capital letters. 'Is she just a manager or something more?''Is she Alex Bandini's baby mama?'Scarlett groaned as she began to read. She felt a headache rising in her head, but at the same time she found the gossip magazine funny. She and Alex had been asked ques
Before the woman would ask any more questions that could open wounds that were already beginning to heal, Scarlett quickly moved on to asking for her help. “I think the werewolf’s race is in the risk of being exposed”The woman's expression immediately turned serious, and she sat up straight in her chair, “What do you mean by that? Is there something you know that we don't?”“Well, it's all my fault that it is happening”With frown lines marring her brows, the woman asked, “How? What do you mean by it is your fault? What did you do?”“I can't really can't the whole blame on me because most of that blame should go to your beloved alpha for banishing me” Scarlett spat the last part with disgustThe woman nodded even if she was now looking confused, “Okay? ““This is my first time being pregnant and since I was to become Luna, I was yet to take my course for medicine and midwifery. I had to go to the human hospital regularly for a checkup and the doctors have been seeing things that don
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
