“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
Liam brushed past her and walked out of the room. Scarlett cocked her head to the side with a confused expression. That was not the reaction she was expecting. She has been expecting him to react violently, she also wanted him to get angry and lash out at her. Yes, she wanted them to fight, as that was the only way to take out her hurt on him. Scarlet turned around and ran after him. By the time she made it out of the room, he was already at the end of the hallway.“Hey, wait up” she yelled behind him. She expected him to ignore her and keep walking, but he did the opposite; he stopped but did not turn to her.Scarlett took her sweet time in walking over to him: drawing her foot on the floor and making sounds that he could hear. He did not get impatient with her, he stayed there until she got to his side and walked past him.“Get in” Liam held the car door open for him.Scarlett stopped, she bent her head to stare inside the car and Ryan was nowhere to be found, it only meant that Li
Scarlett was surprised to see Alex in her office, he had his head buried in a huge pile of documents. “What are you doing here?” she asked with raised brows as she shut her office door behind her and approached the desk.Alex's head came up fast and his eyes widened in surprise before he was abandoning the documents, getting up and circling around the desk with his arms held open for her, “Scarlett, you did not tell me you were coming back today”Scarlett accepted his hug but because of her bump, she could only give him a side hug, “Sorry, my phone's battery died, and I forgot to charge”“Yeah, I noticed. I have been calling you for days. You should have found a way to charge, then, call me to pick you up.” Alex's hand lingered a bit on Scarlett's back when she began to pull away. They separated from the hug and Scarlett failed to notice that Alex did not want to let her go at first but changed his mind later.Scarlett moved to sit down, “I told you my aunt seized my phone. She only
He was here. Liam was here at the hotel. Scarlett could feel anger bubbling up in her heart. She wondered what he wanted this time. He has been calling her phone for God knows how long, and she did not even try to think about how he got her number. He was Liam anyway, he would always get what he wanted. If he could find her after she was banished, what was her phone number that he wouldn't be able to get?He was demanding to see the manager of the hotel after throwing a fit about how a waitress messed up his order. Two of the hotel’s managers were on leave, so she was the only one available; it was almost like he was aware of it. If he was unaware of this fact, she knew that he would find a way to make sure she was the one who went down to solve this problem.“There he is, Miss Scarlett,” Scarlett's secretary pointed at Liam, who was seated in a private room in the hotel's VIPs section. Scarlett looked in his direction, and her breath caught in her throat as her eyes lanced on him. H
Liam, like every wolf, had wanted to find his fated mate. He, like every other person, wanted the love that came with being with the mate the moon goddess picked for him. He wanted love, and he wanted a family of his own. So, when he couldn't find her, he was heartbroken but had to move on to picking a mate for himself. He attended many werewolf gatherings hoping to pick a woman who caught his eyes, but he never found one until that fateful day he saw Scarlett on the training grounds. He’d known immediately that she was the one. It just felt so right, he did not think twice about picking her. He told himself many times that it was because of her father's rank; he was also doing her a favor by placing her above her peers. But with what Jama was saying and what was happening right now, it was his wolf that helped him pick Scarlett.Oh, his wolf immediately accepted her, when he had been thinking he would have to make his wolf like whoever it was that he would pick. His wolf who likes S
“Your brother is not here,” Scarlett said as Mandy opened her office door and strutted in.“I know that,” Mandy said with an eye roll as she placed her bag on Scarlett’s work desk and dropped on the seat opposite her“Of course you do” After that, Scarlet ignored her and focused all her attention on the movie she was watching before her assistant notified her of Mandy’s presence.A wicked glint flashed through Mandy's eyes when she saw that Scarlett was paying more attention to the movie playing on the television than to her. She adjusted on her seat and cleared her throat, “Uh, of course, I do know that my brother has gone on a one-week trip with his beloved fiancé and future wife to Italy.” she smiled widely when she saw the way Scarlett stiffened, “Oh, he didn't tell you that did he? Poor thing” her voice held mockery.Scarlett sighed as she moved her eyes from the television to Mandy, “What do you want, Mandy?” Alex told her that he was going on another one of those his business tr
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
