The following day at school was very eventful, Liam was angry with me for some weird reason and I didn’t care. I didn’t owe him anything and I was in too much pain to care or even pay attention to Liam. My mother hadn’t told me that my development as a witch would come with so much pain, I couldn’t sit straight in class and Anna noticed something was wrong with me.
“Are you really friends with that loser Tom?” Liam asked as he pulled me aside before our biology class“Liam I am really not in the mood for this right now, I am not feeling well” I said as I bent over and held on to my knees when another cramp hit my stomach hard“What’s wrong?” he asked brushing my back gently his touch instantly making me feel better, I straightened myself so that I could look at him in the eye“Don’t tell me you are in heat” he said panicked“Don’t flatter yourself” I said stomping off and leaving him standing alone on the corridorThe pain stopped only for an instant, in factElizabeth's PovWe went to the soccer ground where there was no one, I didn’t want anyone overhearing our conversation and spreading a not so false rumour.“I am a hybrid” I said as we sat on the edge of the school ground“I figured that much, so why are you trying to delay your development” she asked“I found my mate and he rejected me” I said, saying it hurt more than I expected“Oh my, I am so sorry Lizzy” she said with remorse in her eyes. Anna had a bad habit of apologising for things that were never her fault“It’s not the worst thing that has happened to me. I actually wanted to break the mate bond so that me and my mom could get out of here before things get too messy” I said with an unintended sadness“So why didn’t you?” she asked“Well it appears that someone beat me to it, the spell that I needed was ripped out probably by someone who needed it. So now I have to delay my development so that I can buy myself some time to get my hands o
Elizabeth’s Pov “So if it wasn’t you who was it?” I asked, I was now getting very scared“I can’t think of a person who would do that, do you think it was Ashley?” he asked and from his response, I realised I was having this conversation with the wrong person, the person I should’ve been having this conversation with was Anna. She was a girl, she was my friends and she knew a lot about people at school.“I will figure it out, what time do you think Anna will be here?” I asked“I am sure she is on her way” he said We continued sitting there in an awkward silence, now that I knew that Tom had nothing to do with my stalker everything had changed and I was starting to realise that the stalker could be someone who meant me harm. And I think I was more attracted to the Tom that I was chatting to and the one sitting before me was a little boring. Now that the most interesting thing that I thought knew about Tom had been taken away, I just didn’t want him nea
Elizabeth’s Pov “Liam, what the hell are you doing?” I yelled as Liam launched himself at tom and punched him in the face and to be honest I didn’t think tom would fight back but the next thing I knew he was punching Liam right back. They fought and I just sat there and watched them fight, I didn’t call a teacher or anything I just sat there and watched the wrestling match.“Lizzy are you crazy, can’t you see these two idiots fighting” Anna said and I rolled my eyes“Come on Anna don’t be a kill joy, Tom was defending himself and Liam was being an ass” I said as she pulled Liam up, her strength surprising me.“Liam just get out” Anna said in an authoritative voice and Liam growled and stormed out of the class but not before giving Tom the deadliest glare I had ever seen in my life.I jumped off the table and decided to attend to Tom who was slightly bleeding on his lips. I took some tissue paper from my bag and wiped off the blood and then kissed him on the
ELIZABETH’S POV The next day at school everything was weird and everything had changed. Firstly I was no longer friends with the traitor Anna and secondly Tom wasn’t speaking to me instead he seemed to have befriended Ashley and I wondered what had sparked that friendship between them. Liam was not sitting with Ashley he was sitting with Anna and I wondered what had caused the rift between him and his beloved, it appeared I was the only fool who thought the Anna and Liam were not related. I was back to being a loner but this time I had no loneliness I was better off alone, they had shown me their true colours early enough before I had invested my feelings in them.I decided to have my lunch in the library to keep myself busy after I found the cafeteria to be extremely uncomfortable with people staring at me and Liam and Anna constantly glancing at me when they spoke. I felt like everyone knew I was a hybrid and that I had been mated to Liam. Was this how the supernatural wo
LIAM’S POVNow that Ashley had seen me with Lizzy, I had to go to her and end things. I couldn’t believe how easily Lizzy had forgiven me for all the wrongs I did to her. I felt in my heart that I didn’t deserve her and her forgiveness but she forgave me either way and gave me another chance to make things right. The only thing that stressed me at this point was getting through to my dad, and it wasn’t going to be easy.After I escorted Lizzy to her car, I went to find Ashley. I wanted to check what her state of mind was after what she saw. She was waiting for me by my car tapping her foot on the ground, Ashley was so dramatic. She Sure wouldn’t be the first girl I dumped but this would be different because I wasn’t dumping her for my next shiny toy but this was for my mate and to make up for everything I had done to Lizzy I had to do this the right way and end my little fling with Ashley right away.“Liam, what the fuck was that?” she demanded when I was still feet from her yelling a
ELIZABETH'S POV“Better now than later right?” he said and I smiled gratefully at him, I would hate to disappoint my mum by telling her he didn’t want to meet her. My mother was acting like meeting my mate was like an official mating ceremony.And it kind of was, wasn’t I expected to go and live with Liam after this?We got out of the car and headed inside the house, Liam’s hand carefully tucked in mine. I was starting to realise that there was a part of me that was more dominant and wanted to be in control an Liam seemed to have no objections to that.After we got into the house we sat in the lounge as we waited for my mum to bring refreshments.What was she even doing at home so early?“It is so lovely to finally meet you Liam” she said and Liam smiled“It nice to meet you too ma’am” he said respectfully, who knew Liam could show respect to anyone “I am happy for you two, you know mates are for life” my mum said and I prayed she wouldn’t start
ELIZABETH'S POVwent to bed haunted by what I had just been told by my mum, so my situation with Liam was basically history repeating itself and how was I to know that this time things would favour me. if Liam’s father was willing to kill my grandparents and banish my mum just to get his way who was to know what he would do once he found out I was a hybrid and that his first mate was my mother.I couldn’t sleep that night; I tossed and turned the whole night until it was morning and I woke up exhausted.I was relieved when Anna told me she was going to be there the next morning, I had called her to find out why she hadn’t been to school and although her answer was vague, she did say she hadn’t been feeling well. I didn’t question her any further because I was never one to question people about thing they clearly didn’t want to discuss and secondly I had my own drama to deal with. I didn’t want to sit alone with Liam in fact I didn’t want to sit with Liam p
LIAM'S POVI pushed Ashley and she fell from the chair to the ground so hard the whole cafeteria watched for a second in silence before everyone burst out laughing. Ashley stood up embarrassed as her white miniskirt was now dirty and stained and I just watched her and felt nothing.After school Lizzy made sure to run to her car before the bell even rang but not before she gave me one of her uncomfortable smirks that she had been giving me since she saw Ashley literally eating my ear off. I wished I could tell her that her life was in danger and warn her to be very careful. Ashley asking me if I would rather have Lizzy dead meant that she was working with my dad in attempting to get rid of her.When Anna and I walked out of the school premises I noticed a group of students surrounding my car, my car was like my baby. It was like my best friend and if anything had been done to it I would go berserk. I ran towards the crowd which quickly dispersed as I approached
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
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
