Chapter Nine : The Reveal A troubled mind will seek until they find Ella’s POV I waited at that table for hours. Anticipation built with each passing moment. Not a soul passed our way. As the thoughts kept racing through my mind, my composure began to crack. No matter how hard I tried, the tears kept streaming down my face. Self pity started to consume me. I didn’t deserve any of this. I was always a good girl. I got good grades, never broke the law and always did what my momma told me to do. One time, I went out one damn time and my life spiraled into wickedness and chaos. Having Xavier I thought would make all of this go away. How naïve I was for thinking that. I am no one special trapped in a world I know nothing about. How can I protect him when I can’t even protect myself. Xavier begins to stir and I take that note to go find my room. I walk quickly up the stairs and praise when I remember exactly which room I was in. I lock the door behind me and sit on the

Chapter Eight: The IllusionThe line between deceit and truth often become blurred.Unknown’s POVThat dose should have killed the bitch. It was more than enough I made sure of it. I waited in the woods listening to the chaos that was unfolding. I could hear the nurse’s panic, Liam’s anger and the sadness of so many people. I reveled in it. They tightened the security around the hospital, which is fine, she doesn’t have much longer now. I make my way to the edge of the territory and slip out unnoticed. Making it back to the compound I open the doors triumphantly, strolling right towards the boss. “Is it done?” he asks. I reply yes. “And that mutt?” “I couldn’t get to the baby. Ama…” I am cut off before I can finish the sentence. He grabs me by the throat and lifts me in the air. I’m clawing and grabbing at his arms pleading for him to let me go. “You worthless fool. They both needed

Chapter Seven: The DarkA secret is only a truth that has yet to be spoken. Sarah’s POV I have never worked so hard in my life. I feel like every second leads to another mystery, heartache and disaster. After I drop the blood off to labs I decide to pop in on Ella. This poor girl. Whoever did this to her will pay with their life, that I am sure of. She lies in the bed motionless, a machine helping her breathe. I can’t fathom why Liam would take her from her place of care, but don’t dare ask. He is wracked with guilt, sorrow, anger and despair. Right now is not the time to lecture. Honestly I believe if I even tried, he would kill me on the spot without blinking. His mate’s condition is starting to become more stable but I fear for the worse. I have only heard of a dose this high used in lethal measures. I do a quick blood draw on her to see if there is any progress on the situation. “Hang in there Ella, please,” I whisper to her before heading back to the lab. I release the tech and

We often fall silent on our woes, causing irrationality to form. Liam’s POV I instinctively reach out and run my finger across Xavier’s cheek. His bright eyes pop open. Him staring at me with such content makes my heart flip. “Congrats man, he looks just like you,” Carter says. “How is Ella doing, what happened to her?” he asks me. “I’m not sure honestly, but it’s not looking good. Sarah said she got her stable but kicked me out of the room for being too much in the way,” I put my head down in embarrassment as I reply back to Carter. “Can I hold him?” I ask Amara. She looks at me and I see a flicker of anger pass across her eyes before she hands me the baby. “He seems so tiny in my arms,” I say “Well yeah Liam, two day old baby’s are pretty damn small,” Amara snips at me and Carter elbows her as my eyes shoot towards Amara. “I’m sorry Liam, but what the hell were you thinking taking her out of the hospital so quickly? Do you know how dangerous it is not only for Ella but Xavier a

Chapter Five: The TurnA tired soul will be forced to rest. Liam’s POV I quickly get dressed and head to the motel door. That’s where I completely freeze. I can’t wrap my head around why Ella is the way she is. I remember when I first met her. The smell that filled my nose and lungs was like none other.I was up in the VIP room having a meeting with our rival pack. They had wanted a portion of our territory to expand their hotel chain. Negotiations were going pretty good but to be frank I was never very fond of their Alpha. He treated his members as if they were expendable and smaller packs as if they were garbage. Even though the part of the territory they wanted wasn’t being used, I wasn’t too fond of just giving it to them unless they agreed to my proposition. “I will give you this territory, but in return I would like fifteen percent of profits for my Pack and fifteen percent profit to go into the New hope fund.” I say dryly to Alpha Matteo.“That’s ridiculous Liam and you kno

Chapter Four: The ShockEven in the darkness, the light will always find a way.Ella’s POVI feel it coming on, I start to get dizzy and the ground starts to spin. I am going to faint. I try to push myself to just make it into the door, but I know I’m not going to make it. Damn it Ella come on I am telling myself. Everything starts to go spotty and I do the only thing I can think of, I grab onto Liam’s arm and make him take the baby. With that my entire world goes black. Shit. I wake up in a complete panic. I see Liam leaning over me and I instantly jump up. “Xavier, where’s Xavier, what did you do to him? Where is my baby,” I start getting hysterical. The last thing I remember is handing Xavier to Liam. Oh God what have I done? Before I can form another thought, Liam stands up and walks over to a car seat. Relief washes over me, Xavier is still here. Liam hands me the car seat and goes outside. I start looking over Xavier and see he doesn’t have a scratch on him. Thank God he is

Chapter Three: The Storm Often the biggest battles are those unseen. Liam’s POVDamn it you have to get a grip on this situation I tell myself. She is just as beautiful as the day I met her. Her chocolate brown hair forming around her waist and her hazel eyes staring at me, with fear. Why in the fuck is there so much fear? Through out the months I dreamt what it would be like to see her again. This look in her eyes I was not expecting. Could the fear be that she is caught? Maybe, but it seems to be deeper than that. She is scared of me that much I can tell, but why? What the fuck did I ever do to warrant that. From the very moment I laid my eyes on her I treated her like my Queen. The moon goddess herself didn’t hold a flame in my life compared to Ella. For the first several months I pictured her telling me she just wasn’t interested in this lifestyle. Hell I would have understood that. I am not a merciful man. Being the alpha to the notorious Haven pack is not for the weak minde

Chapter Two: The WakeDemons warp the truth so we can embrace the lies. Ella’s POV“I love you Ella,” Liam says as he kisses my forehead. It is the first time he has told me that and I feel like I can’t breathe. We had only been seeing each other for three weeks now, and he has completely consumed me. I have never felt like this before. “I love you too,” I whisper as I look up into his eyes. I know it’s too soon for these kind of feelings but I mean every word that leaves my lips. I am madly in love with Liam Knight.My eyes dart open and panic floods me at full force. It takes me a moment to realize that I still had Xavier in my arms. Looking on the wall I see that it’s only three am. Thank God, that means I only fell asleep for a few hours. I know I need more sleep to keep going the way I have been but I am so close to reaching my goal. I will get Xavier far away from all of this. I look down and my heart swells at how beautiful he is. His mouth starts moving and I have learned th

Her journey had been troublesome and tiresome but she prides herself in knowing that every moment created this magical one .
