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
Rowan's POVI can't shake the thought of Naya off my head now that my grandfather has accepted her into the family.I'm seated in my office, my fingers tapping on the desk as I stare blankly at the screen of my laptop.Honestly, I didn't expect that my old man would accept her. That's why I took time before taking her to see him, so that he'd at least consider that we've been together for a long time.Her wolf doesn't seem capable of matching my wolf of rage, but that's not a problem. I'm not getting married for my wolf, I'm doing it for myself.I've barely had a relationship where I felt at peace as much as I do with her. That's why I'm going to keep her.Moreover, there's a lot I need to understand about her.Since she was wants a week to think about it, I should get her a personal driver and maybe bodyguards too.I palm a hand over my face and I draw a sharp breath.“Sir?” My assistants voice chimes in my ear.I look up and she's standing right before my desk. It seems she's been
Rowan's POVThe response of the shipping company troubles my mind as I sign off from the office. A two weeks delay on the arrival of my cargo isn't something I can just sit and endure.That cargo is actually meant to land by tomorrow latest.If I knew they were this unreliable, I wouldn't have used their service at all. I blame myself for listening to their marketer's pitch. If I hadn't given her those first ten second's attention she asked for, I wouldn't be suffering this mess.Lilian walks with me to the parking lot where Henry is waiting for me.Henry opens the door and I get into the car.“Enjoy the rest of your day, sir,” she says with a courteous smile.“You too, Lilian,” I managed to say. Henry presses the start button and the engine comes alive.Firing the throttle, the engine revs moderately and he puts the car in drive.I can see him gazing at Lilian from the side mirror as she walks away.“That's a pretty hot chick you have for a secretary,” he let out. “You should let m
Naya's POV I spent more than three hours at the business registration agency. Then from there, I went to visit Reilley who just came back from the trip to the Maldives.We talked for several hours and, before I could know it, it was already getting dark.As I entered my ride home, I wondered why Sophie hadn't called again. Had she given up on pestering me for my help? Picturing her frustrated face made me crack up. I glanced at my wristwatch just for me to see that it was past seven already. I had planned earlier to make some stew before going to bed, but I should have gone shopping first.The taxi stopped in front of my house and I stepped down after paying him and telling him to keep the change.A sigh of relief leaves my mouth. Even though I knew I was going to eat junk tonight, it felt good being back home after a stressful day.I went to the door as the taxi drove away.I tried to open the knob before I remembered that there was something such a key. Huffing out, I reached for
Rowan's POV For the first time since I met Naya, someone else answered her call.I couldn't help the feeling of curiosity that suddenly spiked inside of me. I don't want to imagine that my enemies are aware of my relationship with her and have probably gone after her.I got into my G Wagon and sped off. I needed to talk directly with her friend who answered her call.Even though I drove fast, I drove with a little bit of caution. The vehicle was last year's model and I hadn't driven it more than thrice. Some of the new gear technologies it was equipped with were things I was yet to familiarise with.In twenty minutes, I arrived at Naya's apartment and I came down from the car, leaving the headlights on as I went straight to her door.I touched the door knob and noticed that the door was locked, however, from inside.I rang the doorbell and waited for an answer. But after five trials, none came.I decided to knock, even though it might disturb the neighbours since it was already late.
NAYAI gasped as the gunshot went off. I could not believe that Sophia would actually be this crazy. She would do anything to have her way right?.Sophie's eyes went wide. She seemed shocked by what she had done. The gun dropped from her hand as she took a few steps back. She shook her head, with her face pale. "No....no, I did not mean to do anything to him. He was the one who got into the way! I did not!" She denied what she had done. Sophie turned and ran out of the house. I wanted to go after her, but then I had to check on Rowan and make sure that he was fine. I had my attention back on Rowan and I noticed that he was holding his arm. "Rowan? Are you okay??" I asked him as i helped him stand up. I felt true fear now. If anything happened to him, I would not be able to forgive myself. I really didn't want this to happen....Rowan getting hurt because of me. I thought that I had the whole situation under control but I was wrong. I had nothing under control! He shook his hea
NAYA'S POVI stood by the door of Rowan's room, as I watched as the doctor treated him. Henry had driven us back to his house and the man he had asked Henry to call, Anthony, showed up. It turned out that he was a doctor. Rowan had a doctor who could come treat him in his house so he did not need to go to the hospital. I was relieved, knowing that he would actually be getting the treatment that he needed. There was a solemn look on my face because this had happened because of me. I did not plan things out well and provoked Sophie too early. I should have waited and made sure that she won't be able to retaliate before I did anything. But this has already happened so I had no other choice I had to go with the flow and think of how to put an end to this as soon as possible. She had already exposed who she truly was and so she won't bother to pretend to be my friend anymore. "I have already removed the bullet but your arm is going to hurt a lot for the next few days. You should try
NAYA"But we talked about this! You said that I had a week!" I complained. "And I take that back. I am not giving you a week anymore. You almost got kidnapped and shot. Who knows what will happen next time? Will I come back to your dead body?" Rowan sneered at me. "They won't be able to do that to me. I just miscalculated today. I thought that it would be a while before Sophie would show her true self but she could not take it anymore. Anyway, now that she already exposed herself, she won't dare to come close to me!" I said. I knew Sophie, and I knew that she was a pathetic coward. When she encountered a situation, instead of her to stay and deal with it like everyone else, she would run away. So for now, she won't dare to come close to me at all. "I don't care. All that I know is that I am not letting you go back. I will be able to keep an eye on you if you are here. They also won't be able to get into this place," Rowan insisted. I looked at Rowan. He was not backing down. I s
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
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
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
