Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 15. A wolf in sheepskin.
“You have reached the voicemail box of Rowan Yorke. Leave a message and I'll return your call as soon as I'm free. 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
Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 16. I let out a hiss.
“I'm sorry the meeting took longer than I told you,” Rowan says as he walks into the room.I don't have the balls to welcome his apology. He shouldn't be apologising for this little thing when I've already done something bigger.“Henry loses it sometimes. Today's one of those days,” he says, walking to the window.“He’d better fixed himself up,” I nag.But I'm nervous from head to toe. When is he going to talk about what I did? Or, should I go ahead and apologise already?He leans back on the window and I hear a soft sigh escape his mouth. “My life is hectic, Naya.”I'm quiet. I feel there's more to that preamble.His brows fold. “Yeah, I'm living quite the hectic life. But it's what this stage of my life calls for.”I let out a hiss.“I'm sorry about that.”“Thank you, Naya. So, should I take that as a shut up?” He asks.“No, Rowan.” I get up from the bed. “I never said that.”“Then fucking listen when I'm talking to you,” his eyes darken.A cold chill runs down my spine.His eyes are
Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 17. May I know your name?
Simon's eyes are shocked to the fullest. “Whoa! Rowman! Inc-c-credible!”“I know, right?” Rowan scratches his head with a nervous giggle.“Your missy…” Simon squinted his eyes at me. “May I know your name?”“I'm Naya. Naya Yorke.” I utter body.Elsie, you'll have to pay for this.“Beautiful name! Beautiful face!” Simon showers me with praises.I'm flabbergasted. But the idea of continuing this drama once Elsie gives up control makes me cringe.“Thank you, sir,” I purr.“So, what about the—” Simon is about to ask when Rowan interrupts with a yawn.“Oh, I forgot. The belly must be satisfied before our curious minds,” Simon says. “Come on in. I've prepared assorted dishes, all for you to choose whichever you like from the menu.”“We can have the rest of the conversation while you eat,” he adds.Rowan's brows twist at the idea. “No talking for now Simon. We can save the rest for next time… a better time… maybe when you’re not busy with work.”“You know I'm always busy, right?” He asks.“I
Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 18. ...the big news!
Everything I held back from asking Rowan is caught in my throat as I walk into my office after he had dropped me at the entrance.Almost everyone seems to be full of zest today, their chatters muffling the tacking sound of the machines.I drop my bag on my table and begin to browse my gallery on my desktops. There's a party dress design I should have started two days ago for a client. It will only take me two days to wrap it up. And I still have a week to submit it, but I want to start working on it already.“Aren't you interested in knowing why everyone is a goofball this morning?” Madison asks, flinging her red hair as she walked into my office.She's one of the few designers with a strikingly good sense of fashion. I adore her works but, just like everyone, she calls me the best.“Maddie, my hands are really tied up this morning.”“I noticed,” she chopped in with a wink, “and that's why I came to let you in on the big news.”I lift my eyes from my monitor screen. “What is that?”“Th
Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 19. A match for him.
Liam's POV Nathan is seated opposite me in my living room. There's a chessboard on the glass table between us and two bottles of beer.He flashes a grin with his open teeth. “Are you going to fold your arms and calculate till eternity? Play already, man.”I press my lips tight. It's frustrating when you're playing a game with an unserious person and still getting whooped. We've played seven rounds already and he has six wins out of them. It feels like I'm just wasting my time, all to get myself annoyed and frustrated. It wasn't always this difficult playing against him. Now, it feels like he's leagues above me in a game I'm sure I introduced him to.But I'm not going to give up, yet. I can still prove that I'm a match for him. We've been playing this game together since I knew him. When did he get this good?I push my bishop two steps forward. I've seen a move that will get me his queen if I play it right.Even though it's shameful that I had to take time and calculate while he cas
Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 20. She was being a bitch.
Naya's POV It's 5pm and I'm rounding up at the office. Everyone has gone home except the cleaners, the security guards, and Maddie who's waiting for me.The sky is gloomy with dark clouds and raindrops bantering on the office roof.“I feel really bad that you had to quarrel with your best friend today because of me,” Maddie says as she stamds by door.My face doesn't leave the document I'm typing on the computer. “She was being a bitch, Maddie,” I utter brusquely. Maddie is quiet. I heave a sigh and take a break from the computer to look up at her.My shoulders drop when I see a guilty expression on her face.“Hey, look. You have nothing to apologize about. I always put up with her sassy behaviour, but sometimes it's just too much to bear.”“Yeah, but… I can't imagine myself at odds with my BEST friend,” she says.I flash a tight-lipped smile. “We'll figure it out. We always do.”She nods calmly.We leave when I finish with the document. There's a cafeteria by the corner and we rus
Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 21. "The Beast that lies Beneath."
Liam's POV I have told Sophie not to visit my house anymore. We can't be too carefree. The last thing I want to imagine is that Naya is the person who broke into my house and took the clothes out in the mud.I've made investigations and found that she was at her family house during the rain, and she had spent the night there because she forgot her key at the office.Given that, then the criminal must be someone else. I have to be extremely careful.The car in front of me finally moves and I heave off a sigh. Traffic jams have never been a characteristic of Sacramento, but lately it has been the most constant topic on the news.I get a call from the boss and I put my phone in my ear and listen after greeting him.“Good news, Liam,” he says and my heart elates.“You see, the blood of the moon goddess’ golden daughter has proven to be a very powerful substance,” he adds. “The physician has been able to make drugs out of it that can be used to maintain my daughter's health.”“Wow! That's
Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 22. A fucking genius!
Naya's POVThe aromas of a hot breakfast covers the dining table as Tricia and I come to join Reilly. Her wonderful cooking skills are what she inherited from our late mum.As the elder one, I was a bit too attached with my dad that I barely made time to enter the kitchen. I always told him that he didn't need a son to replace him as I'd train and become strong enough to be the next Alpha.Tricia's is Reilly’s roommate, but their bond has grown beyond that since two years now. They're the best buddies even though Tricia is from a different pack.My phone vibrates on the table and I snatch it, apologizing hastily for the disturbance.There's a message on my phone and I open it to see, “Your application for the Krishna Fashion Design Contest has been approved!”I let out a scream immediately and cup my lips when I realize that I just snapped.Reilly's fingers slip off her spoon. Her eyes are wide with curiosity. “What is it, Naya?”Before I can say a word, she sneaks up behind me and pee

Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 197. Him again?
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
Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 196. Please Wake Up...
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
Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 195. A Heavy Heart.
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
Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 194. No matter what, I'll save you!
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
Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 193. She Is Dying.
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
Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 192. We've Been Exposed!
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
Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 191. Please save her life...
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
Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 190. You are a complete bastard!
ROWANMy eyes went wide as I watched what was going on in front of me. I could not believe what the rouge was trying to do. Where did he even get the damn knife from?!I took a few steps towards him and he held Naya tighter. "Don't you dare approach me?! If you come close to me then I am going to slit her throat and I am going to make sure that she dies. If you are sure that you don't care about her and you want to see her dead, then you can come close to me!" He said. Naya was already crying by now and this was painful for me to watch. I didn't want her to die. I loved her with everything I had inside of me. How could I watch her die? "Don't touch her ...don't think that you are going to get away with it if you touch even a hair on her head. I will hunt you down and make sure that you pay if you touch her," I threatened him. "Do you think that you're in a position to tell me what I can and can't do?! Remember that her life is in your hands. She is your wife right?! If you don't
Rebirth: Marrying A Billionaire Alpha! 189. Don't You Dare...
NAYAI was in a good mood after Jessica left our house. She had given me a dirty look before she left. Imagined that look meant that she was coming for me and they she was going to make my life hell but I did not care about her at all. She was no match for me at all. I went back to the bedroom to take a bath after I was done with breakfast. When I came back out, I could not find Rowan anywhere. I was worried that he had gone back to work. I could tell that he still wasn't completely fine and I did not want him to overexert himself just because he wanted to work. I was really worried about him. His car was still in the house so he had not gone to work. I walked around the house, looking for him. I frowned when I got to the staircase that led to the basement. I had never been in the basement before as Rowan told me that nothing important was down there and that there was trash there. I did not doubt his words for a bit. But it was really quiet and eerie. I wondered if Rowan was th
