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
ROWAN"Are you sure that you don't need me to come over there wand help you with this? I will make sure that he won't be able to get close to you and that he won't bother you. You don't deserve to deal with a person like that," I told her. I really wanted to be with Naya and help her with this. Liam was a bastard. To think that he even had the guts to suggest that they get married after what he did to her.Could it be that he still had not given up on his plans to use her and he thought that this was still going to work out? "Don't worry about it. You should focus on what you have to do. I will deal with the issues here. I won't give in to him so don't worry about me," Naya assured me. I sighed. "I am not worried that you are going to give into him. I am worried that he is going to keep bothering you. I don't want that to happen to you,"I told her. "Rowan, it's fine. I'm fine. Really. You should just focus on what is going on here and I'll focus on here, okay?" She said to me.
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
