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?!
ROWANNaya's eyes went wide as soon as she saw me and I knew that she had felt the mate bond between us. I had felt it too as soon as I walked in. I no longer wanted to hide from her. Especially since she already knew. It was pointless anyway. Why should I continue to do that? She looked up at me. "Rowan you ..." I shrugged. "I didn't see a need to hide it since you already knew about it. I am sorry that I didn't tell you about it all this while. I should have come clean to you and told you that I was a shifter. I don't know why I am holding back," I explained to her. I really didn't have an explanation for this. It wasn't because I didn't trust her. Because although I didn't trust Naya in the beginning when we first met, that was not the case now. I completely trusted her now. Maybe it had slipped my mind to come clean with the truth to her? I didn't know. Naya lowered her head. "You don't have to apologize to me. It was your choice to hide it ...anyway I am sorry for the thin
ROWAN"We are not going to keep any secrets from each other. Is that something we can agree on now?" I asked Naya. She nodded her head. "I don't have anything hide from you, anyway. You already know everything about me. Including embarrassing things" she said. She looked away as she said this. I could tell that she was embarrassed. I just laughed lightly. "If there is anything that you want to know about me, don't hold back from asking, okay. You can ask me anything that you want to know," I said to her. She nodded her head. "Anyway, we are a couple. And we should not keep anything from each other our relationship cannot get better if we are constantly holding out on each other. so you don't have to feel guilty. If there is anything that you want to know about me or if there is anything that you want to tell me, don't hold back at all. Make sure that you tell me,".I said to her. Naya looked up at me when I said this. It seemed like she wanted to say something to me but she was too
NAYAThe incessant ringing of my phone woke me up. I had no idea what the time was. I looked around me, and it took me a few seconds to realize what had happened. Rowan was lying next to me. I looked down at my body. We were both still naked under the covers. I smiled when I remembered what had happened. After we had come clean with our feelings for each other, we had ended up having sex with each other. It was the most mind blowing sex that I ever had in my life..I had no idea how long we had done it for, but I knew that some point, we could not continue anymore and we had fallen asleep. My phone started to ring again and it broke into my thoughts. I frowned as I looked at my phone. I picked it up from the bedside table and the first thing that I looked at was the time. It was currently a few minutes past 8 pm. Who could be calling me so late?! The call ended and the call came in just a few seconds later. I looked at the caller ID and my eyes darkened. Of course, it was Liam.
ROWAN Jessica handed the phone over to me with shaking hands. "I....I called him. He told me that he's going to be here soon. Are you happy now?" Jessica asked me. I nodded my head. "Yes. I am very happy. You know ...you really didn't need to do all of this. You should have just left Naya alone!" I told Jessica. "You....you have no idea how much I love you! Despite how many times you trample on the feelings that I have for you, I refuse to care about it. I just want to be with you. And yet you treat me like this! You even dared to kidnap me! Let me just make it clear to you, Rowan. You are never going to get Naya back. You are going to find out that you're making a big mistake. The King will never let you take the only person who can save the life of his daughter!" Jessica told me.I rolled my eyes at her. "Do you really think that I care about whoever you are working for? It's none of my busines, and it would have been great as long as you had left my wife out of it. You only h
NAYA I lay on the bed weakly as I watched my blood being made into an antidote for the so called princess. She had looked weak when she first walked in, but now that she had taken the antidote, she looked a whole lot better. The princess smiled at Liam. "Thank you so much for saving my life, Liam. I really don't know what I would have done without you. If it wasn't for your efforts all of these years, I am sure that I would have died a long time ago. I am really really happy that I have you in my life!" She said.I wanted to throw up when I heard this. I had never felt this disgusted in my life before. Liam had a sweet smile on his face, and he looked like he was happy to be doing this. I was shaking in anger as I watched him. How dare this person?! He was using my blood to appease someone else! I noticed that Liam had never looked at me the way that he was looking at the princess. He had never been nice to me. I was sure that he did not treat even Sophie in this way. Was this
ROWAN"Are you sure that she is in here?" I turned to ask Sophie. We were standing in front of a house that was in the middle of nowhere. It was an old neighborhood and I was sure that they were less than ten people who lived here. The people who lived here were also probably extremely old and so even if anything had been going on, I was sure that they won't have been able to notice. Sophie nodded her head"Yes. Do you think that I am lying? I did what you asked me to do. I followed him and this was where he came to," Sophie said. I glanced at Henry and he walked with me into the house. I was about to walk in when Sophie grabbed my arm. "Hey where do you think you are going? We aren't done talking here. You said that you are going to pay me a hundred thousand dollars as long as I got the information on where she lived for you. I did that. When are you paying me?" Sophie asked me. "We haven't found Naya yet. As soon as we find her, I am going to give you your money!" I told her f
NAYA The door was pushed open and my eyes flew open immediately. "Who is there? Jessica? You are back? Let me out of here. Let me go as soon as possible. You are not going to get away with doing this. You are going to regret ever don't this to me. Let me go if you know what's good for you!" I snapped at her. When she didn't reply me, I continued. "Rowan is going to find you, and he is going to make sure that you pay for doing this to me. Don't think that you can get away with this. Even if you keep me here for the rest of my life or even kill me, he's never going to look at you. He doesn't love you. Why is it so hard for you to understand that? I am the one that he loves! Only me!" I stated. "Oh really? You are the only one that Rowan loves? Are you sure about that? Are you really so confident about his feelings for you?" I heard a familiar voice ask me just then. I would recognize that voice even if I was dead. The voice that had haunted me in both lifetimes..Liam! Liam was he
LIAM"What? You went out to meet with him? Are you stupid?!" I yelled at Jessica over the phone. "Well, Rowan called me and he told me that he wanted to see me. He even booked a table at a restaurant. I thought that he had come back to his senses and he had seen that I was the better choice for him. But when I got there, all he did was talk about Naya. I think he knows that I am the one who kidnapped her, but he doesn't have any proof at all. He even knows that I met with yon. What am I going to do?" Jessica asked me. She sounded like she was panicking. .I just rolled my eyes. I had no idea why I was surrounded by all of these dumb women. I thought that Sophie was the worst that I would have to deal with and that since Jessica worked for the King, she would be smart at least. But once it involved the man that she was interested in, she had no brains. She was just so fucking stupid! "Do you really think that he'd come running back to your arms a day after Naya went missing? You
ROWAN "Are you sure that Jessica is working for the Alpha? If she's the one working for him then...it means that she's the one who has been spying on us. When she came here and said that she wanted to take care of you that time ..it was because she wanted to spy on you," Henry said to me. Sophie was gone now. It didn't take much for me to persuade her to find out where Liam had taken Naya. "Yes. I am sure of it. She's definitely working for that person. She has been working for him for a really long time, I am sure. If Liam is talking to her about him then it means that they both know him," I said."Then what are you going to do now? Are you sure that it's a good idea to meet with her? I don't think that she's going to give anything away if she's really working for him," Henry said. I shook my head. "I have to try. I know that she won't tell me the truth but I have to meet her and ask her and see if she's going to let anything slip. I asked Sophie to find out from Liam where Naya
ROWAN"I don't deny that she was good to me while we were best friends, but how am I supposed to make a living if I don't have any money? I can't take chances, Rowan. I need to survive. You will never know how hard it is for me to survive. I don't want to beat around the bush with you. So are you going to give me the money or not?" She asked me. "Fine. I will give it to you. And don't think about playing tricks with me, Sophie. Because there are many ways I can get this money back from you. And I don't think that you are going to survive what I do to get the money back if you play me," I warned her. "Don't worry about it, Rowan. I may be a terrible person but I am very honest when it comes to doing business. Besides, I don't want to die. I need to be alive to spend the money," she stated. I brought out my bank book and I wrote her a cheque. Sophie snatched it away from me. She gasped when she saw the price that was written on it. They were literally dollar signs falling out of h
ROWANI turned to Henry. "What do you mean you still can't find her? It's not as if she disappeared off the face of the Earth? Why can't you find her?" I yelled at him. A whole day had passed since Naya had not returned home. At first, Henry had said that she was going out to meet a friend, but then she didn't come back yesterday and we still can't find her today. I was really worried now. Had Liam gotten to her? Did he kidnap her all because of her blood? "Did you find out what Liam did yesterday?" I asked Henry. He nodded his head. "Yes. The person that we had watching him said that he didn't leave his house much yesterday. He went out to meet with the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack but that was just it. He didn't go anywhere else and he came back home immediately. I don't think he has anything to do with this," Henry said. I sneered at him. "Are you stupid?! Even if he didn't do anything, then he must have had someone do it for him! He must have told someone to kidnap her!
SOPHIEI gasped when I heard this. Was Liam saying that they had kidnapped Naya? I had no idea who that Jessica person was but from Liam's words, they had worked together to kidnap Naya. Liam ended the call and he burst out laughing. I quickly shut the door and started to pace around the bedroom, thinking of what to do. I did not want Liam to know that I had heard what he was talking about. I knew that he was an extremely cold man and if he taught that I knew a secret then he was going to do something to hurt me. I didn't want to die in Liam's hands. I just wanted to be able to survive. Just then the door was pushed open and Liam walked in. I turned to face him and we came face to face with each other. There was a menacing look on his face when he saw me and he looked like he wanted to just triangle it to death and be done with it "What the heck are you doing here Sophie? I thought I have told you that I don't want to see you in my house? and how were you even able to get in
