SOPHIEI already had tears falling from my eyes by the time she was done. I had really fallen into the elaborate trap that they had set for me. "I ...it was a mistake....I didn't have the time to make the design...I have been really busy...I did not think that it was a big deal for me to make it since you were going to use Naya's design anyway. I thought that it would be useless for me to do it. That was why....that was why I submitted hers. I am really sorry. I promise that this won't happen again. Can too please not fire me? I promise to do my job well from now on, " I pleaded. I had already been caught. It would be embarrassing for me to keep denying it when the evidence was clear. I could only beg and hope that they would take pity on me. "Sophie, you did not just steal Naya's design. You lied that she stole from you. Do you know what this would have done to her? You would have destroyed her career completely. What did she do to you to deserve this kind of treatment? She did no
SOPHIEI could not understand it. How could her life be better than mine? I was sure that if I had the opportunities that she had, then I would be able to do better than her. The only reason she came this far was because she had the opportunities that I did not have. It was not just fair at all. I could not stand for it. "You are delusional, Sophie. How am I the reason that you can't design anything? You were given a chance. It's not as if you were not given one. You are the one who threw it all away. You have no one else but yourself to blame for this. Can you please look inside of yourself and see what you did wrong instead of trying to throw dirty water on people who did not even do anything to you? " Naya asked me coldly! But it's all your fault! Do you think that I don't know what's going on here?! You guys are all making it sound so good but you have already planned this from the begining! From the begining, you already planned that you were not going to let me keep the job no
SOPHIEI frowned when Liam said this to me. Even if our relationship was on the rocks and we were on the verge of breaking up that did not mean that he should be talking to me like this right?"Wow, Liam, is this how you are going to treat me now? You are not even going to let me into the house?" I asked him. "If there is something that you want to say to me then you can just say it here. You don't need to go inside. I don't have the energy to entertain you today" Liam said coldly. He didn't try to hide that he was already tired of me. Before he would have tried to hide it and pretend as if things were at least okay with us on the surface. Maybe it was his way of letting me down slowly but he was not doing that anymore. He was snapping at me and letting me know that he didn't want me any more. I didn't want him to be the one to break up. After everything I should be the one to break things off with him. "Is there someone that you are keeping inside your house that you can't let
The next day, I had just gotten off work when a car pulled up in front of me. I smiled when I saw that it was Rowan's car. He had never come to pick me up from work unannounced like this before, but I was happy that he did it. He got down from the car. "Is there some kind of occasion today? Why did you come to pick me up?" I asked him. He looked at me like I was forgetting something. "Don't tell me that you don't remember what day it is today?" He asked me.I shook my head. My brain was blank. Was I supposed to remember what day it was today? "What day it is?" I asked. It wasn't some important day I forgot, right? Rowan smiled and shook his head. "You really need to take things easy. How can you forget what day it is today?" He asked me. I shook my head." I really don't know what day it is today....don't tell me that I am forgetting something really important..." I said. He just laughed. "How can you forget about your birthday, Naya? Where is your head. How can you not reme
NAYALiam and I were seated at an upscale restaurant. I looked around the restaurant and I was shocked that it was quiet. I knew that this was one of the most popular restaurants in town and one had to make a reservation weeks in advance to get a seat here. .I had come here before with a few business clients of mine so I knew how difficult it was to get in. It was always filled with people, so why was it so empty? I looked at Rowan who had a smile on his face. "How come the restaurant is so empty today? I know that they usually have a lot of customers. In fact, they usually have weeks long reservation list" I said. "That is because I rented it out for tonight. Today is for you, so you have the whole restaurant to yourself today," he said to me. I gasped when he said this. "You did not ...you did not need to do this at all," I said to him. "Well, I wanted to do it for you. Now can you please stop telling me that I did not need to do this and that? I wanted to do it for you and
ROWANI placed Naya on the bed as soon as we got back home. Her eyes kept darting around the room and I could tell that she really drunk. I just wanted to let her have a good time and so I did not stop her when she was drinking so much. Thinking about it now, it wasn't exacting a good idea. I should not have let her drink so much. I really should have stopped it. Although Naya was drunk, she was still wide awake. She did not look like the kind of drunk that would just go to sleep. I had a feeling that I was going to have a hard time with her tonight. "You are so mean. Why did you have to bring me back? I never said that I wanted to come back. I want to go to the restaurant and keep dinking, " Naya laughed to herself when she said this as if what she had just said was profoundly funny. "Can't you see how drunk you are? You can't keep drinking unless you are going to get really sick," I said, although I knew that she probably could not understand what I was saying.She shook her h
ROWANMy eyes went wide when Naya said this. How did she...how did she know?.I had always kept my status as a shifter away from her. And away from everyone else. Since we were not in a pack, I hid my warewolf scent. Besides, since we were still looking for the chosen one, I didn't want to be caught so soon and so I didn't say anything about who I really was. But this..how did she find out about it?!"What are you talking about?" I asked her. "Don't think that I am stupid. I am not going to let you treat me like a fool, you see, I know that you're a shifter. I know that you've always been one. At first, I didn't know and I always thought that you were a human. But that was until you got shot by Sophie, you let your guard down and you forgot to mask your scent. My wolf...it sensed out your wolf then," Naya said.I looked at her eyes. I could tell that she was still very drunk. But I did not doubt what he was saying. Maybe the alcohol was what gave her the courage to tell me what sh
NAYAI woke up the following day with a terrible headache. It felt as if someone was constantly hitting my hear with a hammer and I just wanted to rip my head off and throw it away so that I would get some peace. I sat on the bed and I discovered my throat was sore. I wanted to drink water, but I didn't even want to get up from the bed and so I just continued to sit there as I tried to make sense of everything that had happened. It took me a few minutes to remember why I had ended up like this. I had gone out with Rowan yesterday because it was my birthday. He had really gone out of his way to make sure that everything was perfect for me. He rented out a whole restaurant and he even took me to get a new dress and a make over. I smiled when I remembered all or those things. It was the most effort that a man, besides my father, had put into me. I really wanted to slap my past self. Why did I think think everything that Liam did for me in the past was because he was in love with me?!
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. I bit my lips and chuckled to myself when I heard Row
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
LIAM"And what do you want to see her for? Do you even think that her father is going to let you see her? You were supposed to have come back for the antidote for her soon but you didn't do that. 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. I will be back before he comes back," I assured the
LIAMMy legs were shaking as I walked into the hospital. I walked into the doctor's office and I sighed in relief when I was that he was the only one who was in the office. What I was going to get from him was a scolding at least. The King was not here and he was the only one who could kill me. Seems like I still had some time to think of how I was going through convince them to give me a second chance. "So....what is your excuse, Liam? What lie are you going to come up with this time? You know, if you were not up to the task then you should not have lied and said that you were. It would have been much more easier for everyone else if you had just told the truth instead of beating around the bush and lying your way out! How dare you lie to the King?! Do you really think that you'd be able to survive this?" He asked me. I wanted to fall to my knees and plead, but I knew that it would be best to reserve that for when I saw the King. "You know that is not true at all. I have always
LIAMI dropped the phone on my table slowly. The call that I had just gotten was enough to shake me up. The princess had been admitted to the hospital. She was dying because she had not gotten the antidote in a few months. My heart was beating fast against my chest as I thought about what her father was going to do to me once he got his hands on me. He would not let me off. In fact, I was sure that he might even try to kill me. He would really kill me! I was so scared just thinking about it. All of the plans that I had made to get Naya back to her so that I could get some of her blood had failed terribly. She seemed to be aware of what I was planning and she blocked me on every front. I tried to get the Elders to work against her because I wanted her to come crawling to me. Once she married me to stabilise her father's pack, then I could do whatever I wanted with her right? That was why I had her father attacked, and pressured the Elders into asking her to get married. But it
ROWANNaya was in my arms, bleeding badly. Her eyes were wide open and she tried to say something but she could not nin the end, she closed her eyes and passed out.I picked her up and stood up with Naya in my arms. I knew I had to get her to the hospital as soon as possible. As I stood up, I was the rogue. There was a pale look on his face and the full weight ot what he had done seemed to be crashing down on him now. He took a few steps back as she tried to get away from me. I did not pay attention to him though as the only person I cared about in that moment was Naya and how I was gonna to get her to the hospital and make sure that her life was saved. I rushed out with Naya in my arms. Before I did, I turned to look at Henry and he nodded his head at me, indicating that he knew what he was going to do. ......Naya was admitted to the hospital as soon as I got here and the doctor told me that they had to operate on her. I was not even listening to anything that they were sayi
