Liam's POV
I 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
Naya's POVI wake up the next morning to the screeching of car tyres and the loud revving of car engines. I rolled to the window and peeked out to see two sports cars drifiting around one of the water fountains.A tiny knocks lands on my door and I pull my nightwear over my breasts.“Come in, Cookie,” I say.The door swings open and she rushes in immediately.“Good morning, aunt Naya.” She springs her energetic self at me on the bed.I do my best to catch her and embrace her in a warm hug.“How are you, Cookie?” I ask with a smile.“Excited,” she cries out. “Come with me. Big bro and Henry want to race along the tracks.”I turn my face to the window and a smile curls my lips.“Alright, Cookie,” I smile and climb down the bed.I brush and then change into one of Rowan's black sweatpants. It's long enough to reach my toes so I pull it up to my stomach. I wear his black Ghost Rider shirt and it's towers over me, but surprisingly makes the fit.Strolling downstairs with Cookie, we join
LIAMSophie was still making a din outside, trying to get me to see her but I pretended as if I could not hear her. Once she got tired then she was going to understand that I was truly done with her and that I wanted nothing to do with her She would leave me alone then. I was waiting for her to get tired of knocking when my phone rang. I frowned when I saw it. It was from a phone number that I did not know. I picked it up, anyway. "Hello? Who is this?" I said as soon as I picked up the call. "You are Liam right? The King had asked me to contact you. He told me that you would be needing my help?" She asked me. I stood up immediately when she told me this. I had almost forgotten that the King had told me that someone was going to contact me and that they were going to yell me save the person that he wanted me to save."I think we should meet up, I will tell you where we are supposed to meet up," she said and ended the call. O frowned. She didn't even let me know her name or
LIAMMy heart was beating fast against my chest when I left the hospital. I had been really confident that I would have been able to get Naya's blood. She was really weak and all I had to do was just take it. But who knew that even though she was sick she still had a lot of strength in her. That damn woman! Did she have to be so stubborn about everything?! If I couldn't find the antidote, then the princess and I could be dead soon. How could she just stand back and watch as two innocent people died for nothing?! Did I really have to kidnap her and force her to give me her blood? I really didn't want to go too far with her because I still had hopes of getting back with her before but I didn't think they was going to be possible anymore. It seemed that there was no other way for me to get out of this. I would have to burn all of the bridges. I was not surprised when I saw Sophie standing in front of my house when I arrived. She had been trying to reach me but I have refused to pic
NAYAI let out a sigh of relief that I did not Gen knkr that j was holding when I saw Rowan. The tears that I had been holding back started falling and he pulled me into his arms immediately. He started to comfort me. "There is no need for tob to cry anymore. I am already here. I will take care of this. You are okay now," he tried his best to comfort me. I shook my head and sobbed loudly in his arms. I did not know how long I cried for but by the time I looked up again, Rowan and I were the only ones left in the hospital room. At some point, the nurse and doctor had walked away. I sniffed as I looked up at him. "Do you feel better now?" Rowan asked me. I was still very frightened about what had happened but I was better and a lot calmer now that Rowan was here. "Yes. I do feel better...." I said as I nodded my head. "Do you want to talk about what happened....the nurse had told me that there was a man inside here? Who was it? What did he do to you?" He asked me."It was Liam
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
