I grabbed my phone and dialed the number on the card. Her phone rang for a few minutes before she finally picked up."Yes? Who's this, please?" Her familiar voice echoed through the phone, and I smiled softly."Isa, miss. me. yet?" I said slowly, and I could notice the awkward silence from her."What's your name, stran....""Meet me at Cape da Ava restaurant tomorrow by 4 pm." I suddenly cut her off and ended the call before she could say anything else. Rage's confidence sometimes baffles me; I doubt if Isa would come considering how proud she is. But now I'm more interested in seeing who would actually win: Rage or Isa.*************Bang! Bang! Bang! I jolted out of my sleep; the loud banging of the door made me angry, and I jumped out of bed in annoyance. I draped my body in a towel and walked towards the door that wouldn't stop banging.I yanked open the door, and my angry glare fell on Abi. Her beautiful smile dissolved my anger in seconds. She looks so different today, dressed i
I was shocked when I saw Liam, the timid boy, step out of the black car, his masculine body draped in a black suit, a silver tie tied around his neck. He looks like a typical CEO boss. "Ain't no freaking way Liam could change so drastically," I muttered under my breath. This is definitely not the Liam I met a few days ago. He flipped his long blond hair to the back in a sexy way, his left hand slipped into his pocket, and he adjusted his tie stylishly. I watched in awe and surprise. I could feel his aura exuding from that distance, and I couldn't help but wonder how someone could change so drastically within a few days."Babe, let's go meet him," Florence said and flung open the car door. She jumped out of the car, and I followed behind, nervous. I can't believe Liam would ever make me feel nervous. As Florence and I stepped out of the car, Liam's sharp eyes fell on us, and he let out an evil, sexy smirk. He opened the trunk of his car and brought out a large bouquet of roses, extendi
He rested his back comfortably against the chair, crossed his legs with an air of sophistication, and gently flipped his long hair to the back in his usual style. He reached for his pocket, brought out a large wrap of weed stick, and a lighter. Igniting the weed, he started to smoke, puffing the smoke directly into my face; I nearly choked. He seemed to unlock new characteristics every moment. I remember Liam doesn't drink; how could he be the one puffing this robust wrap of weed?He licked his lower lips slowly and seductively, and his eyes stayed glued to me. I don't know why it's taking him forever to reveal his condition."Tell us, Liam," Florence urged, and immediately, he shot a deadly glare at her."Don't rush me, woman!" he snapped at her rudely, and I was shocked again. This guy isn't only dominant; he's rude too? I thought I was rude, but I guess my rudeness can't compare to this mysterious guy before me. Florence's cheeks flushed red from embarrassment; I could see the puzz
NARRATOR'S POV:Abigail raced through the woods, tears streaming down her cheeks. Rejected by her mate, she had never felt this humiliated before. She wondered what had changed; Liam had always been kind and treated her well. Why did he treat her like this? Running away from the Blackhood pack became her plan to escape the overwhelming humiliation. She had become a laughing stock in the pack, and the thought of facing Liam's mother, who had been so good to her, was too much to bear. Abigail stopped in the middle of the forest, collapsing helplessly onto the ground scattered with twigs and dried brown leaves."Vic! Am I making the right decision?" she asked Vic, her wolf, fully aware that Vic would never reply. Vic had been in a deep slumber since an unfortunate incident eight years ago, the same incident that led Liam's mother to find Abigail in the woods. Abigail didn't know her real name or where she came from. Her memory seemed wiped, and the only connection to her past was her wol
A convoy of five sleek black cars zoomed into the entrance of a grand and luxury hotel. The cars came to a graceful halt and the tinted glass of the central car rolled down, unvealing Isabella a vision of sophistication, her black sunshade sparkling mysteriously on her face leaving an air of mystery and elegance in the atmosphere. Reporters swarmed around the convoy like bees drawn by honey. "Miss Sinclair, is the trending news about you and the self-acclaimed pop star Rage true?" a daring female reporter asked, thrusting her long shotgun microphone towards the open car window.Four guards dressed impeccably in black fitted suits emerged from each of the vehicles and in an authoritative gestures they signaled to the reporters to clear a path so Isabella could step out of the car. One of the guards bowed slightly opening the door for Isabella, who gracefully stepped out of the car in grand style. Her long fitted red gown complemented a pair of shiny nude-colored pump heels. A red desi
Everyone was shocked at Liam’s boldness. Riri's eyes widened in surprise, her jaws dropped in shock. "Miss Taylor, I apologize for his imprudence," Isabella quickly intervened, flashing a deadly glare at Liam. She knew he might do something crazy, but she never expected something this wild. Lost in her attraction to the bold, handsome man before her, Riri just watched in awe and wonder. Seeing that Riri was captivated, Isabella quickly removed Liam's hand from Riri's. Liam flashed another smile at Riri before eventually breaking eye contact and turning to leave."What is your name, young man?" Riri finally said, still full of awe. Isabella noticed Riri was starting to develop an attraction for Liam, and a wave of jealousy surged through her. "He is my newly appointed bodyguard, Liam Blackwood," she quickly chimed in before Liam could reply and seduce Riri again. Liam noticed the jealousy in Isabella's reaction and chuckled slightly."Oh! You mean the one in the trending news?" Riri
After Liam's engagement with The Singers Brothers, he returned to Isa, who seemed to be engaged in her chit-chat with Riri Taylor."I saw what you did over there, Liam," she whispered quietly into his ear."Impressive, isn't it?" he replied, smiling softly while sipping his wine, his deep blue dreamy eyes fixed onto Isabella's body."You're supposed to be a bodyguard, watching me every time, not mingling with everyone. And, by the way, who makes a good impression with people by being aggressive? I saw what you did to Danny of The Singers Brothers," she snapped quietly."It's only I that could perform such feats, girl," he chuckled slightly and tried reached for her hair. Isabella quickly stepped aside so he wouldn't be able to reach her."You can't act anyhow here, Liam! There are media and cameras everywhere. Why are you such a pain in the ass?" It's obvious Liam is starting to annoy her.She continued, "You're a guard, act like one!""Hey! I'm not your guard, okay? It's just a ruse
Zoe Lupine had been thinking about the guy she met in the library few days ago and regretted running away without asking more information about him."Sweetheart, you seem lost in thought," her dad, Alpha Maximus, said suddenly, snapping her out of her reverie as they drove to school."I'm good, Dad!" she snapped sharply, trying to wave away her dad’s suspicion. Zoe is the daughter and only child of Alpha Maximus, the alpha of the lupine pack. He is a wealthy businessman in his early forties, who lost his Luna—Zoe’s mother—six years ago when Zoe was sixteen. Since then, he has been trying his best to be a good single parent to his daughter without any intention of getting married again."You are hiding things from me now?" he inquired with an air of disappointment in his tone."Tell him!" Storm urged her."Just shut up already, Storm!" Zoe cursed at her wolf angrily."No, Dad, I'm good," she forced a smile. Zoe knew her dad could kill the innocent boy if he rejects her. Her dad is fear
Reluctantly, Isabella reached for the white towel that was carefully folded on the hanger and used it to clean off the water on her body, patting her skin dry. She returned the towel and picked up the bathrobe from the hanger, carefully draping it around her naked body, and tied the belt firmly around her waist. She slipped into her yellow fluffy crocs, which lay carelessly on the bathroom floor."You can lift your head now," she drawled and turned to take her seat on a small stool at the corner of the bathroom. She sat comfortably with her legs crossed, exuding an air of pride and sophistication as she anticipated Liam's twerk dance. She giggled slightly at the thought, wondering if he was truly going to twerk for her, considering the fact that he appeared to be so rude and full of pride.Liam slowly raised his head and fearfully peeped from behind the bathtub. His eyes fell on Isabella, who sat confidently on the plastic stool, tapping her fingers on her legs. Seeing that she was now
Upon hearing Isabella's outrageous request, Liam choked immediately and began to cough profusely. He covered his mouth with his hand and slipped from the edge of the bathtub onto the freezing tiled floor. Isabella burst into hysterical laughter, kicking her feet in the water playfully and splashing it everywhere. The vodka was already taking a toll on her, making her act drunk. Liam stopped coughing and raised his head to find Isabella having the best night of her life, laughing hysterically."Are you seriously trying to make a fool out of me by requesting such ridiculous stuff?" he asked in a soft tone, swiping his long hair behind his ear. Isabella quit laughing, and the two gazed at each other intensely, an eerie silence lingering between them. Gently, Liam rose from the floor and moved closer to Isabella, their breath fanning against each other's skin. Both maintained their gaze. Isa lifted her right hand and slowly brought it closer to his face, gently caressing his cheeks and th
Liam had just wrapped up his collaboration with the Singers Brothers and was amazed by the swift rise of his newly released music. The tracks he recorded with the Singers Brothers earlier in the morning had already climbed the charts, securing a spot in the top ten most streamed songs of the week. He drove home happily after branching at the store for bottles of alcoholic drinks, the thought of Isabella’s actions in the morning fueled his excitement, and happily, he stepped on the accelerator pedal, increasing his speed.Isabella, on the other hand, had just returned from work. She took a nice shower, the warm water cascading over her, providing a soothing sensation. The thought of Liam’s cuteness and seductiveness overwhelmed her as she lay gracefully in the bathtub, sipping from her glass of wine while romantic, gentle music played softly in the background. She rested her hand on her temple, thinking about Liam and his possessive attitude, and subconsciously, a soft smile escaped he
Beta Steve barged into Alpha Maximus's private study room, eager to announce the news he had for him. He slammed the door loudly behind him and walked toward Alpha Maximus, who sat in front of a brown wooden desk, rotating from one angle to another, chewing a pen in his mouth. He seemed to be engrossed in a paper before him. Steve walked briskly, his left hand in his pocket, his shiny black shoes making a clicking sound on the tiled floor as his well-ironed trousers flapped aggressively in the air."Alpha, I have something that will interest you," he announced, standing a few inches from his boss. Alpha Maximus tore his eyes away from the paper that had his attention before Steve interrupted his blissful moment of eerie silence."Oooh! What could that be?" he questioned with an air of authority, his green eyes eyeing Steve with a frank and serious look. With a loud bang, Steve placed the brown leather bag that had been dangling on his right hand as he entered on the desk. He unzipped i
Isabella's heart skipped a beat at Liam's unexpected response. Her eyes widened in astonishment, and her mouth hung open in sheer surprise."Did I hear that correctly? Tonight? Nobody is going to know?" She couldn't contain her excitement, letting out a joyous scream while kicking her legs in the air with unbridled happiness.Liam hopped into his car and drove off from the mansion. Isabella's earlier drama made him smile like a silly child. He had pretended as if Isa's seduction didn't affect him, meanwhile, it did a lot. His heart raced rapidly as Isa seduced him earlier, but he just had to keep up the hard boy facade to make her try harder."Don't forget, tonight!" A message popped up on the screen of his phone, lying carelessly near the gear. It was Isa. A naughty smirk escaped Liam's lips again at the sight of the message. "She's so naughty," he muttered under his breath.As Liam's car weaved through the road, a hooded lady suddenly flagged down the car with a wave of her hand. Imm
“Stop there!” Isabella ordered Liam as he tried to leave the room. Immediately, Liam froze in his tracks and turned to face Isabella, who was gracefully lying on the bed. Isabella had been feeling inferior since Liam indirectly turned down her offer the previous night. She couldn’t believe he had resisted her temptation. Now, she was planning to make life difficult for him.Rolling over the duvet to the edge of the bed frame, Isabella reclined gracefully, and a slight moan escaped her lips. “Where are you off to, Mr. Blackwood?” she purred in a seductive tone, narrowing her eyes and perfectly shaped brows. Clad in black lace lingerie, her slender fingers, adorned with long, shiny red acrylic nails that beautifully complemented her skin, grazed the white sheet and sensually moved to her curved thighs, which she caressed gently, enough to make any man crave her.Liam sensed what she was up to and couldn’t help but chuckle slightly. “What do you want, Isa? I have to get to the studio in
Abigail hesitated, taking in the grandeur of the castle that now served as her new living place. Her heart leaped with joy at the realization that she would be living with a family as wealthy as this.Entering the castle's grand living room, Zoe finally broke the silence with a friendly smile. "Nice to meet you, Abigail! Dad never told me we were getting a new maid," Zoe exclaimed, curiosity sparkling in her eyes. She wondered what could be so special about the strange girl her dad had brought home, but surprisingly, she seemed to have a flicker of attraction for Abigail.Alpha Maximus chuckled, ruffling Zoe's hair affectionately. "It was a bit of a surprise. Abigail here helped me out of a tight spot." Abigail managed a polite smile, still trying to comprehend the swift turn her life had taken. She nodded toward Zoe. "Nice to meet you too, Zoe. I hope we get along well." Zoe's eyes widened with excitement."Let me show you around the castle, Abi," Zoe offered, beaming with a smile.
"Hey! Hey!" a girl called out to a heavily wounded man lying unconscious and stark naked on the muddy ground of a forest. She kicked him slightly with her foot, and slowly he opened his eyes, grunting in pain as he struggled to sit up, resting his back against a huge mahogany tree."Who are you?" he asked, holding his head as if experiencing severe pain. His eyes fell on his skin, and in embarrassment, he flinched, quickly covering his manhood with his hands. The girl, Abigail, chuckled in amusement. "What is there to hide? I saw it already," she replied jokingly, and immediately his face turned crimson from embarrassment."Didn't your mother teach you not to disrespect older people?" he lashed out angrily."Too bad I don't have one!" she snapped sharply and smiled at him. "Let's get you something to wear and then get you out of here," she declared and then turned to leave."Are you leaving? Damn it!" he yelled as she disappeared into the woods. He tried to remember what happened the
"it is okay, I know you went through a lot today, but it's fine now," Liam whispered gently into her ear as he continued to thread her soft, sleeky hair. Isabella cried for a few minutes before she finally found the strength to talk. She freed herself from Liam’s tight hug, wiping the tears and her running nose with the back of her hands. She sniffled and cleared her throat with a loud cough.“Did you see those two monster-looking creatures?” she asked in a croaky voice that carried the weight of the stress she had been through.“Monster-looking creatures? What are you talking about? Are you alright?” Liam said with a tone of innocence, feigning surprise. Isabella shot an angry glare at him, her puffy red eyes swollen from many hours of crying.“What do you mean by 'am I alright'? Are you saying I'm lying or probably running mad?” she lashed out angrily, annoyed at Liam’s response.“No, Isa, that is not what I meant. I mean, you went through a lot of stress tonight. Maybe you are just
