NAYAI gave him a reassuring smile. "You really don't have to worry about me like I told you. I will be fine. It will all be fine. All that you need to do now is go focus on your issue and I will focus on mine," I said to Rowan. "But we are a couple. You said that we shoot always support each other since we are a couple. Do you not even want to do what you told me? You don't want me to help you. What kind of couple would we be then! Does this even make any sense to you?" Rowan asked me. I smiled at him. "Yes, we are a couple and we should always support each other. That is why I won't let you ignore something that is clearly very important to you just to take care of me. You have to go to Henry. Don't worry I will be fine. And if I run into my trouble that I can't deal with , I am going to ask for your help. I won't put myself in any unnecessary danger. Is this good enough for you? " I asked him. "Are you sure? Are you sure that you are really going to call me if you're in troubl
NAYA."I was so foolish. You told me that Liam was no good and that I should not get involved with a man like him but I refuse to listen to your words. You even told me when I was younger that Sophie was a person who like to take advantage of others and that she was taking advantage of me but I still refused to listen to you all the time because of them and I told you that they were good people. In the end they hurt me badly and the ended up causing my death. They even caused your death to in my past life. I thought that I would have learned my lesson and that I won't let them get to you anymore but I still did not learn anything. You are hurt and lying here right now because of me. I am a really bad daughter. I don't even know how I am supposed to ask you to forgive me" The only reason why I dared to say all of these things to my father was because I was sure that he was in a coma and he would not be able to hear me. I would not be able to tell him all of this in real life because I
NAYAAs soon as I got back to the palace, I was told by the guards that some people had come to look for me. Jake and I shared a look between each other because we knew they were the Elders. They were here to question me on whether I could take over the pack. "I will go with you," Jake offered. I shook my head. "No, I don't think you should do that. They came here because they want to see how good I am. If you go in there with me, I think they are going to feel like I am trying to avoid the issue and hiding behind you. I want them to see that I am not scared and that I am up to the task," I said. Jake shook his head. "I know that you're good enough. Trust me, I don't doubt that at all. But I also know that you haven't been in this pack for a long time. I am not trying to deal with them first you. I will just be there supporting you. Every Alpha needs someone to support them. I think I can be that for you, Besides, I am very worried about you. I know his cruel the Elders can be a
NAYAThey all passed urgent looks between each other and they were clearly not expecting me to stand up for myself like this. I sneered in my heart. What did they think was going to happen?That I was just going to accept whatever they told me and step out of the way just because they thought that I was a woman and that I was not fit to lead my father's pack because I was a woman?Someone else spoke up after a long time. "Well, we are not looking down on you just because you are a woman? We understand that even women can do great things. We have a lot of misgiving about you leading the pack in your father's absence. For one thing you have not been in the park for a long time now? You have always been living in the human world. I think that you no longer know how this pack is supposed to work and you are already accustomed to the life that you have over there. If this had not happened to your father I am sure that you won't have come back" another person told me. "And so what do you
NAYA"Yes. That is true. I am sure that the alpha would want nothing less than his daughter leading the pack while he is sick. He wouldn't want his position to be given to someone else. Besides I am here and I am going to help her as much as I can. I have always been by the Alpha's side and so I know how the pack works. " Jake spoke up for the first time. "Well, Naya, I am sure that you think that we are targeting you right now but that is not the case at all. We are not targeting you at all and you only reason why we are saying all of this is because we are worried about the pack. We can overlook the fact that you don't know everything about the pack and we can overlook the fact that you have been away for a long time. But we cannot overlook the fact that you are not married" I was told. I was shocked when I heard this. What did me being married have to do with any of this? I could not understand it at all. "I don't understand what you are saying. What has me being unmarried got t
NAYAWhy the heck was Liam calling me? And to think that he had the guts to call me after what he did to my father. Did he really think that I would not know that he was the one behind it? "What do you want from me, Liam?" I snapped at him. I had no patience for a man like him. "I said that I was calling you to check up on you. I heard about what happened to your father I think almost everyone has heard about it now. I just want to know how you are doing. Just because you cut me out of your life cruelly doesn't mean that I don't care about you. You see, I am not a cold and heartless person like you," Liam said. The fact that he had the fire to call me a cold and heartless person after all of the things that he had just proved how much of a terrible person he was. There was no way to reason with a person like him. "I am cold and heartless? After all of the things that you've done to me, you really have the guts to tell me that I am the one who is cold and heartless?" I asked him co
NAYA"What? A way for them to take me seriously? What do you mean?" I asked him. "Well, they said that you have to get married, right? You don't need to look further. You and I can just get married. Of course, you'll have to break off the relationship that you have with that man, Rowan, first. I don't know how or when you got married to him but I am sure that you can always get a divorce from him. It's not a big deal at all. You know the elders are never going to accept it if you are married to someone who is not a shifter. How are they supposed to accept that your husband is a human?You know this won't be possible. So instead of arguing back and forth with the Elders and fighting with them you should make the right decisions. You don't need to be fighting with them. You need to be working with them now that your father is sick. You need a husband and even though you have hurt me I still love you very much. I don't mind getting married to you so that you can have a stronger hold on
ROWANIt had been a few days since Naya left and we hadn't spoken to each other. I was starting to get really worried. I hadn't had the chance to call her because I had been busy with a lot of things. I knew that she must have been really busy too. Besides, she had not been in the pack for a long time and so things must not be easy for her. I was currently on my way to my grandfather's house and so I had enough time to call her and ask how she was doing before I had to go get busy again. I called Naya and she did not pick up the first two times. I was starting to get really worried about how. Finally she picked up on the third ring. "Hello," she said into the phone. "Naya!" I exclaimed. I did not know how much I missed her until I heard her voice. "Naya! How have you been?" I asked her. She sighed and I could hear the tiredness in her voice. All that I wanted to do was fly over to her and make sure that she was okay. I wanted to go over to her immediately and help her take
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
