Chapter 7

Naya's POV

I wake up and the party music is still blowing downstairs.

I glance around the room but there's no sign of Rowan anywhere. I assume he hasn't returned since when he left the room.

It's thirty minutes past ten when I look at my wristwatch and it dawns on me that I didn't tell anyone I was going to sleep outside.

I look at my phone and my eyes are torn when I see forty missed calls and fifteen text messages. Twenty-two of the calls are from Jake and the rest from mum and Liam.

I heave off a sigh and tuck the phone back into my pocket. I'll think of anything excuse to give them tomorrow.

My eyes meet Rowan's wardrobe open and I curiously make up my mind to check out the kind of cloths he wears.

One by one, I flip through the line up of cloths. All of them are made from rich, expensive fabrics, and have this exquisite scent that make me believe he has nice taste for perfumes.

Right beside the wardrobe, there's a big mirror which is the same height as the wardrobe. I d

    Chapter 8Naya's POVIt's Monday and the talk of the day is my cancelled marriage. I'm not surprised because I invited ninety percent of our workers.I go to my office and begin to work on the dress which I have left hanging for over one week.Flora pops out from her own cubicle and waves a playful hand at me. “Hey, damsel!”Her blonde hair cascades over her fine dimples as she smiles. She's everyone's favourite and a cheerful person.“Girl, you know I was down for some serious after-wedding party,” she tells me and I stiffen.I'm about to respond before I hear someone call out, “her lover boy is here.”Liam? No, it's Jake. My adorable sweet thing. He's with a brown paper bag which I know definitely has something in it for me.His bike is parked at the lot and he throws fast steps as he walks in, greeting everyone while his eyes are scouting for me.“Over here!” Flora waves at him.“Poor thing. Such a pity she doesn't plan to marry him,” I hear someone mutter and I curse my extremely

    Chapter 9Liam's POVIt's going to take longer than I promised the boss. What has gotten into that Naya of a bitch? What the fuck does she mean by what happened last week being a bad omen?I smash the mirror hanging on my bathroom wall. “Fuck!”“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!”There's blood all over the floor. My own blood. My mind is already overwhelmed with the frustration that is coming with this supposed-to-be simple task. I can't even feel the pain in my bruised knuckles. It's already healing and will be done in a few minutes. What won't be done in a few minutes is my stupid mission.“You're leaving me no choice!” I scream as I walk out from the bathroom to the bedroom. I need to get dressed. I need some tequila and some good sex. Then I can decide the next measure to apply, since Naya has decided to prove stubborn.I'm at the club about thirty minutes later. Two strippers are massaging my shoulders as I sit in the VIP section, downing a bottle of tequila.My phone buzzes and I pray i

    Liam's POV“I can’t, Liam. I can't do this a fourth time! You promised I wouldn't have to do this again! You promised…” There's tears trickling down Sophie's cheeks and I know better than to let her emotions explode now.“Baby, this will be the last time, I swear. I can't just let any unnecessary obstacle come between me and my mission, Sophie. You should understand this more than anyone else.”“That’s exactly what you said last time.” Her voice cracks. “Liam, it was exactly these words.”My jaws grind against each other. My blood is a boiling pool of frustration but I have to hold it back. She is being unnecessarily dramatic and I don’t have time for that.This is something we’ve been doing for more than four years now. The pregnancy never comes intentionally. Isn’t it only logical that we get rid of it?What pains me most is that, right now, I have to pretend that she isn’t being a pain in the arse, and console her, since I still need her in order to achieve goals.

    Naya's POV “Mrs Naya.” Rowan's voice is a gentle baritone as he calls my name. I put the phone on speaker and drop it on the sink.“What a wonderful time to call, Mr Rowan,” I say as I stare at my naked self in the bathroom mirror. “I wouldn't usually step out of the bathroom to pick up a phone call.”But my phone had sang it out that I had a call from Rowan.“My apologies,” he says, but the restraint in his voice is a giveaway that he's barely holding himself from bursting into laughter.“So, why am I getting a call from my busy husband today?” I ask.“Let’s say his schedule isn't as tight as usual today. So he's thinking of a date at the Castro Lucille by 4pm,” he says.“4pm? I'm down,” I respond quickly.“Good. My assistant will be available to pick you up. Just call me whenever you're ready,” he says.“Alright, darling,” I respond.Several hours later, I'm dressed in a velvet gown and seated before my giant bedroom mirror.It's hard to choose between my silver jewellery or the go

    The drive to the aquarium tower is a more of a silent one. All along the journey, my mind is restless with thoughts after thought of Rowan and how disappointed he’d be that I failed to show up. I’m totally pissed at myself and more pissed at the bastaed on the steering. If he didn’t show up, I’d be on my way to the Castro Lucille by now.We’re less than a meter away from the entrance of the tower now. As usual, you can see from the distance the myriads of people swarming the area.It’s an everyday thing.The tower was built as a tourist attraction, but it turns out that even the locals haven’t toured it enough.Liam gets two tickets and pays for a parking spot before he drives in to find a space at the parking lot.He quickly climbs down and hurries over to my side to get the door for me.“Thanks, darling.” I force on a smile.We hold hands and walk in through the main door.Liam’s hands are rough and strong, should be offering me a sense of comfort and safety. Instead, I’m filled wit

    Liam's POV“Make it get to me before tomorrow morning” are the last words I hear from the physician before the call ends.A sigh of relief escapes my nose as I feel the finger-size bottle wrapped within my palm. With this milligram of Naya’s blood, I can prove to the master that I’ve not been playing around.I know how potent Naya’s blood is. I've had a taste of it when she had a nosebleed, and trust me, what it did to my body was pure magic.Call me a desperate man for ingesting blood from nosebleed, but I'm just an embodiment of a mind locked in on his goals.A sound from inside the car soon makes me realise that Naya has woken up. I sneak the bottle into the inner pocket of my jacket and scurry over to her.“Hey. How're you feeling now?” I ask her.I've become too good at this. Masking my real intents behind a different facial expression. Not even my voice can give me away.“I feel better now,” she murmurs before her eyes dart to the brake pad of my car. “I'm sorry I messed up your

    “What the fuck did you just do, Naya?” My wolf thunders at me. “Have you lost it?”“I don't know. I just wanted to… Elsie, it's been—”“Long you had sex!” She snaps. “And now the urge is so bad that you want it with that monster? What made you certain that he wouldn't strangle you to death in the process and get what he wants from you?”I bury my face between my thighs. I know that was so stupid of me. The impulsive decision is silly, but it doesn't really bother me. What actually bothers me is the fact that he left me hanging.“This is a second chance, Naya. Have you forgotten?” She ranted.“I know,” I cried. “I know. But… I just wanted to feel… something. Don't you see that I'm so different from my usual self?”“Your usual self was blind, Naya. Naive. Couldn't discern her enemies from her friends!” Elisa fired. “If you still want to be that person, then you should be most prepared to die again!”My heart sinks when I hear those words. It's like a mask has just been torn off my face.

Thank you.”“Arghhh…” A frustrated groan leaves my mouth.I'm seated at the front pouch of my apartment, dressed in a black bum short and a big grey shirt.I stand up and lean on the balcony.Putting the phone close to my mouth, I exhale softly.“Rowan, I'm so…so sorry that I missed your calls and left you hanging at the hotel. I can swear, my schedule got complicated. Please, I'll do my very best to make it up to you. Love you.”I sit back down after hitting the send button. I hope this works.It didn't even take a minute before he texted. “Young woman, I can't accept a voicemail as an apology. Do what you ought to do.”I giggle softly. It's as if I already know he'd write that. “I'll come over tonight.” I texted back.I get up and head into the kitchen to do some cleaning. The entire week has been so full of schedules at the office and I have barely paid attention to my

Once she got tired then she was going to understand that I was truly done with her and that I wanted nothing to do with her She would leave me alone then. I was waiting for her to get tired of knocking when my phone rang. I frowned when I saw it. It was from a phone number that I did not know. I picked it up, anyway. "Hello? Who is this?" I said as soon as I picked up the call. "You are Liam right? The King had asked me to contact you. He told me that you would be needing my help?" She asked me. I stood up immediately when she told me this. I had almost forgotten that the King had told me that someone was going to contact me and that they were going to yell me save the person that he wanted me to save."I think we should meet up, I will tell you where we are supposed to meet up," she said and ended the call.

    LIAMMy heart was beating fast against my chest when I left the hospital. I had been really confident that I would have been able to get Naya's blood. She was really weak and all I had to do was just take it. But who knew that even though she was sick she still had a lot of strength in her. That damn woman! Did she have to be so stubborn about everything?! If I couldn't find the antidote, then the princess and I could be dead soon. How could she just stand back and watch as two innocent people died for nothing?! Did I really have to kidnap her and force her to give me her blood? I really didn't want to go too far with her because I still had hopes of getting back with her before but I didn't think they was going to be possible anymore. It seemed that there was no other way for me to get out of this. I would have to burn all of the bridges. I was not surprised when I saw Sophie standing in front of my house when I arrived. She had been trying to reach me but I have refused to pic

    NAYAI let out a sigh of relief that I did not Gen knkr that j was holding when I saw Rowan. The tears that I had been holding back started falling and he pulled me into his arms immediately. He started to comfort me. "There is no need for tob to cry anymore. I am already here. I will take care of this. You are okay now," he tried his best to comfort me. I shook my head and sobbed loudly in his arms. I did not know how long I cried for but by the time I looked up again, Rowan and I were the only ones left in the hospital room. At some point, the nurse and doctor had walked away. I sniffed as I looked up at him. "Do you feel better now?" Rowan asked me. I was still very frightened about what had happened but I was better and a lot calmer now that Rowan was here. "Yes. I do feel better...." I said as I nodded my head. "Do you want to talk about what happened....the nurse had told me that there was a man inside here? Who was it? What did he do to you?" He asked me."It was Liam

    NAYAI shuddered when I saw the cold look that was on Liam's face. My whole body was in pain and I knew that I would not be able to stop him if he really wanted to do something to me. I was really scared now. I had no idea what he was going to do to me...."What are you going to do to me, Liam? Rowan is going to be back soon. If you don't want to die, you had better get out of here. He is not going to let you off if you dare to do anything to hurt me," i warned Liam. Liam just smiled evilly. "Well he is not here right now. I am sure that I would have finished and even left before he comes back. You don't have to try to threaten me with him. I am not scared of him at all, you see. I don't care about him. Now stay put and just let me draw some blood from you" he said to me. "Don't come close to me! Don't think I am joking!" I yelled. He didn't listen to me. He was still approaching me. "Just stay put Naya, it's not going to hurt at all. I just need a bit of your blood to make the

    LIAMI was not expecting Naya to wake up at all. Her face was really pale so whatever has happened to her must have been pretty serious. I was blown away when her eyes fluttered open. My heart was beating fast against my chest. I was still holding on to her arm and she was blinking at me as if she was trying to figure out what was going on. "What are you doing here?" Naya asked me. Her voice was really weak. She tried to sit up on the bed but she fell back down on the bed. He face went vent paler. It was obvious that she was in a lot of pain. She placed her hand on her stomach. "What happened to me?" She mumbled to herself. I scoffed at her. "You really have no one else to blame but yourself for this. You are the one who brought this upon yourself. If you had just listened to me and did as I asked, then we won't have gotten here. You have no one else to blame but yourself," I repeated this over and over again. "Liam....what are you doing here?" She asked me. If was as if Naya h

    LIAM"What do you need me to do for you?" I asked him urgently. I was more than willing to do anything now. As long as it meant that I was going to keep my life. I didn't want to die. "I need you to rescue someone for me. He was taken by someone... I need to to get him out there," The King said with a frown on his face. I blinked my eyes. I could tell that he war trying to hold back as much informational as possible. I could not understand why he was doing this. If he wanted me to do something, then he should tell me what it entailed upfront so that I would be able to do a good job. "You need to tell me all that I should know about this person so that I can rescue them," I said to the King. He waved his hand at me. "you don't need to know anything more. You just need to know that he's currently behind held at the home of a man called Rowan. You just need to find out where Rowan keeps him and get him out for me," he said to me.

    ROWANI looked towards the window and I saw that it was nighttime. I sighed, really worried about Naya. Was she going to come out of the place alive?.The thought of hrr dying was the scariest thing to me and I didn't really think that I would be able to take it if anything did happen to her. Henry came back with the drinks that he said he was going to get and he handed one to me. I took it from him and took a sip. I had to admit that it was really good just what I needed. Just then, the doctor walked out of the hospital room and I ran to him immediately. "Doctor....how is my wife doing ...she is not going to die, right? She is going to be okay right?" I asked him all in one breath. The doctor looked at me and shook his head and my heart started to beat fast against my chest. I didn't know what to do or say at that moment. The only thing I could think of was that she was dead. She had died. What was I supposed to do without her? How was I even going to continue my life without

    LIAMI walked out of the princess room with a heavy heart. Although I would have liked to stay and talk with her some more, I didn't want to do that. I knew her father was going to be back any time soon and I didn't want to make him even more angry with me. I was walking back to the doctors office when I saw someone I never thought I'd see in the VIP ward of the hospital. It was Rowan and he was pacing outside a hospital room with a worried look on his face. There was another man with him who also had a worried look on his face. I hid myself in a corner so he won't see me and I continued to watch him. What was he doing here? Was Naya in the hospital? I got a report from the Elders in her pack that had left the pack since her father got better. What happened to her for her to be in the hospital though? I had a lot of questions. Besides,I wasn't even sure that she was the one in there. The other guy placed a hand on Rowan's shoulder. "I am going to go downstairs and get somethi

Because of you, her life is in danger now and you think that for some kind of reason you can come here and demand that out want to see her?! "The doctor yelled at me. I bowed my head as he scolded me as if I was a child. I did not dare to raise my head or say a single word back to him. I knew that all it was going to take was for me to make a simple mistake and then they were going to deal with me. I didn't want to risk it at all. "No, you don't understand it. I just want to know how she's doing. I am not planning anything. How could I dare to plan anything when you're still her with me? I am really very sorry for what she is going through and I really just want to make sure that she is fine, okay. Besides, the King isn't here right now.
