LIAM’S POV
The following day I had to wake up early to contact the elders and get them to come to the mansion. My father as the Alpha was normally the one that did that, so when I contacted them they immediately knew that something was wrong.Lizzy was still in bed when I woke up probably tired from all the fighting she had done with my father, and I must admit I also did tire her out last night before we went to bed. I finally understood what they meant when they said mates can’t keep their hands off each other. Anna was awake and she was helping me prepare for the elder’s arrival, I prayed that they would accept Lizzy not only as my mate but also as their Alpha.I had never heard anyone talk about a female Alpha and therefore I was not certain that new development would be accepted despite the injustice that had been done by my father to Lizzy and her family. In my opinion, Lizzy deserved to be queen even if it meant I would be nothing but her helper.“ArELIZABETH’S POVLiam managed to calm me down by his kiss, and he managed to get the flames of anger burning in my eyes to die down. I wasn’t sure if he managed to do that because he was my mate.All I could see before Liam kissed me was how much I wanted his family to pay for what they did to mine. I was willing to even kill Liam because of the rage that was boiling inside me, I had to commend Liam’s bravery for kissing me even when he could see I was out of control.To taste the power I possessed was more that a thrill, it was addictive and if Liam hadn’t stepped in I am sure I would have been far gone. However I did enjoyed seeing the fear in his eyes and I enjoyed how he didn’t know what I would do next. Nevertheless, I had to give the power up despite how it made me feel. Liam’s kiss was all it took for reality to hit me like a revelation.When Anna had found me she mentioned that Liam was out looking for me with my mother, I was happy to know that even
ELIZABETH’S POVAfter the meeting I was feeling depressed, Ashley’s father clearly had a problem with me being Liam’s mate and he was determined to ensure that our union wouldn’t survive any task that we were given. From what I understood from Liam and the conditions that they gave us for the chase, having a whole pack after me would make it close to impossible for Liam to catch me.Liam said that wolfsbane they wanted me to drink would make me weak and I wasn’t even allowed to use magic. It seemed unfair to me that these so-called elders would go to that extend just to keep me out of my own kingdom, but they were about to find out just how persistent I was.The chase was set to happen 3 days after the meeting so I had a little bit of time to prepare for it. I was more than happy to resume my wolf training sessions with Liam so that I could gather more strength and skill. We both wanted to come out of this victorious and this was a fight not only for justice fo
Liam's PovI don’t even know when I turned back into my human form; all I remembered was Lizzy’s cry in pain when she got burnt. As I held a weak and half burnt Lizzy in my arms all I could think of was how much this was all Tom’s fault. I carefully laid Lizzy on the ground and turned my attention to Tom. “Well you have my full attention and undivided now Tom,” I said as the veins that had pooped on my forehead throbbed and I clenched my fist.All the confidence that Tom had seemed to have earlier seemed to have disappeared and he was suddenly looking very scared as I slowly approached him.“It was an accident Liam,” he said in fear“Don’t be a little bitch now Tom, you said you would kill me to get to her didn’t you? Now I will kill you just to avenge her” I said and then turned into my wolf form.“It’s not fair...” I cut him off before he even finished his lame sentence.What was not fair was the fact that Lizzy had to go through all thi
ELIZABETH’S POVI woke up in the late afternoon to realise that Liam wasn’t by my side as he should have been and I figured he was out with his friends or something. With everything that was going on, the last thing on my mind was school and Anna helped me by bringing me some school work for me to look at, not that I ever did.Anna woke up early and went to school as usual, and although everything else seemed normal at the mansion, I still couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. By the time Anna returned from school I was already going crazy and no one wanted to tell me where Liam was or even talk to me for that matter.“Anna I can’t find Liam,” I said panicked“Relax I am sure your mate is ok” she responded with a smile“You don’t get it, I think something may have happened to him and no one wants to tell me anything, please go and ask them where he is. They are more used to you than me” I said and she nodded“ok I will ask the guards,
My new life routine was pretty boring, I would wake up every morning just to get ready and then go and give Liam some food. I would spend the whole day with him and we would talk about all kinds of things.In a way, his segregation had been a blessing in disguise for our relationship because it was like we had all the time in the world to get to know each other and that gave us time to bond. After spending the day with Liam I would go back home to Anna and face my real grief, which was the eternal absence of my mother. Anna was always very cheerful and I always tried not to be a wet blanket on her moods each time we met but that seemed close to impossible. Everything in the house reminded me of my mother and I could still smell her in the house. I often remembered how happy she had been when we first moved in here, she was very positive and she thought that this place would be good for us. I still couldn’t understand what had made her insist on us coming back here when she
ELIZABETH’S POVAnna couldn’t stop telling me how rude I had been to the Beta, but else was I to do? Was supposed to just roll over and just do whatever they wanted me to do for them? In my life, I had been a lot of things, but I had never been a pushover and I wasn’t about to start being one now.These so-called elders treated me like an intruder and treated my mother’s murderer like royalty, and after that, they segregated Liam their supposed next Alpha, where was their loyalty when they were doing all that? They had absolutely no regard for any of us.I understood why Anna would have so much respect for the Beta; it was because she had never known him to be anything other than being honest and loyal to the pack as the beta. But that was not what I was introduced to, the fact that he was in charge of the pack, and yet he allowed these wolves to do as they pleased with Liam and I bothered me a lot. If he was to be chosen to be an Alpha his rule wouldn’t be any different
Liam’s POVAfter dinner, Elizabeth and I convinced Anna to go to bed and we cleared up the table, tidied the kitchen, and started doing the dishes. I had missed being with Lizzy so much that I just wanted to soak up every moment I got with her and I was glad that she didn’t object to that.“I really missed hearing your voice,” I said as she packed away some plates“What do you mean I came to see you every day and I spoke every time I was there, in fact, I spoke more than you did,” she said with a smile“I know but I lost track of reality at times I just thought you being there was just me wishing on things and then convincing myself they were real,” I said as she returned to the skink where I was standing. When she was about to pass me I pulled her back and slammed her against me using her hips to press her body into mine, if I had pressed her hard enough she would have sunk into me. I held her by her waist and she wrapped her arms around my neck and l
LIAM’S POVI wasn’t in full support of Lizzy tying our lives to that of the pack but I had to trust that she had a plan. I knew she was probably right when she said that the elders were up to no good. There was an upside to all this and the upside was that if they had any intentions of purposely placing her life in danger along with mine, she had successfully destroyed that plan.When we got home, Lizzy and I were both so tired that we just headed straight for bed and fell asleep immediately. We were supposed to catch the other pack by surprise and attack them before they attacked us. The plan was that we would meet at around three in the morning and then we would all run to the neighboring pack. The elders said that they had gotten a letter that we would be attacked anytime during that day. My main concern was that the pack would be attacked when we were gone and there would be no one left to defend those that were going to be left behind. Beta John told me that a few
ELIZABETH'S POV“Did you really have to be that rude Liam?” I asked“Lizzy sometimes you tend to be too kind and too trusting” he snapped and he was right but I really believed that Ashley was being genuine I could see the grief and the pain in her eyes. Her father might have been a bad influence in her life but she was clearly fond of him and she loved him very much.“I know that but I think we should have been nicer to her,” I said“if we had been even a little nicer to her she would have asked us if we could let her sleep since it was already dark and she would have asked if it was ok if she slept with us in the same room and in the middle,” he said and I laughed, now he was just exaggerating“Just stop Liam,” I said through my laughs and he joined me“I am serious they say once bitten twice shy and trust me I have been bitten by Ashley so I am not allowing her to fool me so easily this time, so you need to stop trusting people that you shouldn’t trust and stop being so easily fool
ELIZABETH’S POVThe following day I woke up feeling very tired and I was feeling like I had spent the night running a marathon. Liam told me that I had passed out right after drinking the wolfsbane and that he had to carry me home after that. I was glad that we were done with the crowning part of the rituals and now the next thing would be for Liam to drink the wolfsbane.I didn’t understand why Liam had to do that because he was already part of the pack and therefore he had no former tied to break and I also felt like there was no need for him to prove his loyalty to the pack because they already knew him. He explained to me that he wouldn’t be swearing his loyalty to the pack only but also to me. and he said that the ritual was going to be important in proving that his intentions for the pack were not selfish and we're nothing like what his father had done.When I woke up I had to attend to Ryan who had grown a lot in the past couple of days and he was now crawling, I just couldn’t
ELIZABETH'S POVThere was a note that was left on a rock and Liam recognized the handwriting as his father’s, the message on the note was that he would wait for us in the mansion since we wanted to be pack leaders and live in the mansion so badly.Liam, Anthony, and I immediately turned and started running to the mansion immediately, none of us cared that our clothes were ripped off as we turned. Liam and I just wanted our baby back and Anthony was just after his mate. At this point, we were all aware that Liam’s father was a danger even to his own children and he had to be stopped from causing any more harm to anyone else.We raced to the mention afraid that we could be too late and Liam’s father could have done something to Anna and the baby. The thought of him hurting my baby just made me angry and made my feet very much lighter. I got to the mansion first and I immediately spotted Liam’s father in the garden with the baby in his arms and Anna was tied
Liam's POVAfter dinner, we all went to our separate rooms and I was very happy to finally have Liam all to myself. There was a lot I wanted to discuss with him and most of it involved his father and I couldn’t hold out any longer.“Baby, are you ok?” I asked“Yes why?” he asked as he put on his pajamas“I mean I just killed your father and I would understand if you need a little time to mourn his death,” I said sitting on the huge king-sized bed.“Lizzy are you feeling bad about what happened?” he asked and I wasn’t sure how to respond to that question, of course, I felt guilty about killing his dad despite his crimes. If I felt nothing after killing him that would mean that I was exactly like him.“a little bit, I mean your father had it coming that’s no doubt but that doesn’t make me feel any better about the fact that I killed him and the impact of what his death did to you and I wouldn’t blame you if you felt some type of way about the way
LIAM’S POVWe stayed up the whole night listening to Denis as he filled us in on the plans that my father had for us. We had to keep in mind that they probably didn’t tell him everything out of fear that he would come and give that information back to us. What I didn’t understand until now was why Anthony had decided to join us and not run his small pack himself, I mean he was next in line to be Alpha after all. Their presence here with us made me very uncomfortable but I also had to admit that we needed them, but there was no way that I was going to agree with Lizzy if she decided to let them stay here for good.After Denis told us everything we needed to know we had to change the plan of our plans because they already knew our plan of attack. Lizzy was right when she said that she would heal herself and be strong enough to fight, as I watched her take the lead in the plans I could see that she was a natural-born leader and that was probably the reason why she cou
LIAM’S POVI woke up in the middle of the night to find the bed empty on Lizzy’s side. I knew that she had been restless because I allowed the wolves from the diamond pack to stay with us but I had to think on my feet and it was best that we had them with us rather than with my father. They probably chose to come to us because they were impressed that Lizzy had killed their Alpha. Even after I had accepted their request to join us, I was still worried about the true intentions of their new Alpha, Anthony had been known to idolize his father and I knew that he probably wanted to seek revenge against us.The only thing I could do now was to make sure I keep an eye on them and make sure they never got up to any good or even tried to betray us, as hard as that was going to prove to be.I got out of bed and started searching for Sabina around the house and she was not there, I even went to Anna’s room and she wasn’t there. I thought maybe she was in her mother’s room as she n
Elizabeth's Pov The following day Liam, Anna, and I woke up a little late because we were all tired from the events of the previous day. We were not going to be getting any form of rest for the next coming days because of all the training that we had to do. Liam woke up and went to the mansion to meet with the elders and his father because he had to find out when they planned for this challenge to take place.Anna and I prepared the backyard for all the wolves that were going to come for the training. It was a pure blessing that my mother had chosen a corner house with the biggest backyard that was big enough to accommodate a lot of wolves. I still couldn’t believe that all those wolves had actually chosen my side and I didn’t even know most of them. But I assumed that they chose me because they already knew and trusted Liam and they were like his followers.After we were done preparing the grounds for training Liam returned from the meeting and he seemed like he h
LIAM'S POVI had known from the day that I found out that Lizzy was the rightful heir to the throne and the rightful Alpha queen that there were things that she would have to do and I wouldn’t be a part of them. I knew that she was more powerful than I was and that all the Alpha duties that I had been training for my whole life would be taken over by her. But right now I felt like a wimp and I found myself struggling to find my place in the entire kingdom.Don’t get me wrong I wanted the best for Lizzy and I felt insulted when she suggested that I was power-hungry and motivated by my hunger for power. For her to say that was like her saying that I was like my father and that I would easily kill and take someone’s life simply because I wanted to be in charge of the pack. But imagine growing up and being prepared for one thing only to grow and realize that that thing you were being trained for was never yours, to begin with, having Lizzy as my mate made it easie
