Naya's POV
There's a frown on Liam's face immediately as I get into the car.
“I told you to stay back, Naya,” he doesn't hesitate to say.
His fists are tight on the steering, the engine of the car humming as it awaits him to put it in motion.
“Babe… take it easy okay? We'll find a way to get the money and a donor,” I assure him.
I'm so damned that I have to speak this way to this devil. But all I care about is the little child's life, nothing else.
“I can't take it easy, Nay
Liam's POVI stand in front of the massive Greenheart hospital. My attention is stuck on their giant symbol — a snake curled on a green apple, while I wait for Naya to come out.I wonder what could have been the motivation behind the symbol. Every meaning I try to read into it has a negative message to it.I stroll down to the lot, unlocking my car and taking a can of whiskey from the dashboard. Taking a gulp, I squeeze the hot liquor down my throat and out the can down.Relaxing on my seat, a soft giggle escapes my lips as I think about how gullible Naya is. She has always been like that, anyway.
Naya's POVI'm standing before Sophie's door. A weak sigh falls out of my mouth as I'm about to touch the doorbell.I remember when I didn't have to knock before going into the house. But now, I do. A personal decision of mine, which she's yet to take note of. And if at all she has, she hasn't found the balls to discuss it with me.The bronze knob twists and the door comes open.“Hey, Naya. What are you standing out there doing?” Sophie says. “The door was open all along.”I scratch the back of my head, forcing a nervous smile. “Oh, my bad. L
Liam's POVI'm seated on a long white stool, waiting for the physician as he examines the blood.“You got all this from one person, Liam?” He asks.“Yes,” I answer curtly.He chuckles. “Hope that person is still alive.”“That's none of your damn business,” I caution him. “Quickly confirm the blood-type. I need to get going.”“I’m almost done with the analysis,” he says, letting out a sigh. He scratches his white beards, pushing his gl
Liam's POVMy heart pounds heavily against my ribcage. This can't be happening. I literally brought Naya's blood to save the princess' life and also save this idiot from the master's wrath.How ugly can people be?“I don't want no fucking video. Tell me what exactly happened here,” the master demands.“Liam brought in some new blood and made me confirm that it was the same blood type,” the physician responds.My hand clutches my dagger tight.Without looking at me, the master orders, &ld
Naya's POVMy eyes collide with Rowan's dark eyes in the back of the car I just entered. Cold feet grips me immediately.“Henry,” I mutter.“I told you he wanted to see you now, didn't I?” Henry says.I shake my head as a sigh escapes my lips.“Fine. You played smart.”I lock my jaws together as my eyes meet the cold otbs of Rowan's eyes.“Good afternoon, Rowan Yorke,” I blurt out.
Naya's POVFrom the main gate of the Yorke family estate down to the main mansion, my eyes can't believe what they've just seen.There's no way in the world one family could own such a huge property. I can't count the acres of land but I'm pretty sure an airport would fit perfectly here.I don't know how to ask Rowan if all of this belonged to his family since I've clearly seen their name written on the overhead post at the entrance.Henry drives gently until we get to the main family mansion.My legs suddenly feel heavy at the thought of coming down from the car.
Rowan's POVDinner ends and the dining table gradually empties, except for grandpa and I who stay back.Without him having to say it during the mealtime, I already knew that we had a discussion to make.From his end of the table which directly faces mine, his brown eyes stamp a blank stare at me while I relax with a toothpick between my lips.He suddenly drops his fork and intensifies his stare.“What were you thinking?”“I did what you asked me to do,” I answer him.“And that is this?” he scoffs, pointing at the exit where Naya walked out through. “I arranged someone with a wolf that is good enough for yours. Instead, you chose this?”“She's okay for me,” I retort.“An omega? A mere omega…” he stresses, veins popping out of his forehead. “And you say she's good enough for you? What have you been drinking in the city?”“I'd appreciate it if you didn't bring my drinking life into this,” I calmly say.His brows hitch. “Goddamn it. What hell of a grandson are you? Do you understand what
Naya's POV“C’mon, aunty Naya, dive in. The pool is warm,” Cookie cries out.“Oh, Cookie, I'm not an olympic champion,” I laugh as I gently walk to the corner of the pool and pick up the yellow floater. I wish I could shy away from what I've always seen as a precarious adventure, but I've made a friend tonight who I don't intend to break bonds with.Wearing it, I carefully step into the pool.We're at the shallow part of the pool, but the water is deep enough to reach my waist as I step in.The chill water soaks up my body and I shiver as goosebumps spread all over my skin.I've never been a good swimmer, so I don't take the risks that the experts do.“Come over here!” Cookie calls, splashing a handful of water at me.She smirks as I cover my face with my palms.“Catch me if you can!” She taunts.Her nanny is standing by the poolside, watching as we play together.I didn't expect we'd be playing like this, at least, not in the space of one day. I guess being sassy didn't stop her fro
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
