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
LIAMI was in my house, brooding. There was a glass of brandy in my hand but I had not taken a sip from it. I was thinking about Naya and how she had double crossed me. I was sure that she had actually given me her blood, but she gave me the blood of someone else. How could she do that to me? I was nice to her a few days before I asked her for the blood. I made sure that I treated her well. She wanted to be treated like some pampered princess and I did that for her As if that was not enough, I waited on her hand and foot. And I even took her to a nice dinner. I told her that my sister was in an accident, she should have wanted to help save my sister's life, right? So why did she double cross me? Why did she give me the blood of someone else? Since this did not work out, it would be even more impossible to trick her in the future. How was I supposed to get the blood out of her? Just then, my door was pushed open and Sophie rushed up to me, looking all disheveled. I almost rolled my
LIAMSophie bowed her head and started to cry but this just irritated me even more. What was she crying for? I did not understand it. She was the one who caused this issue and she was crying? "What are you crying for? Do you think that crying is going to solve this situation? What if he comes after you? Or what if he sues you for attempted murder?" I asked her. If she was sued, I would abandon her immediately. I wouldn't want to be a part of that. My relationship with her had been fun and she knew how to give good sex but there was no way that I would jeopardize the rest of my life just for some good sex. I could get sex from any woman out there. "I am just worried. I don't know what to do. And Naya...what if she tells him to come after me because of this? He may not want to do anything to me but she could push him to. I swear to God that she hates me and she always wants to see me doing badly than she is doing. Do you think that you can talk to her and get her to get that man to
"I can feel a pull to his wolf!" Elisa said. My mind almost went blank with this information from her. How could that be possible?. How could she feel a pull to his wolf when he was just a human?"Are you sure?" I communicated with Elisa silently. "Yes. I have never felt it before which means that he was hiding it. He's a shifter!" She said, I looked at Rowan who was lying on the bed, his eyes shut tightly. He looked a bit weak, and I actually felt the pull to his wolf too. Elisa was right. Rowan is a shifter. But why did he not tell me anything about it? Why did he hide it from me? Did he know that I was....."What is he hiding, Naya? Why didn't he tell you about this before? We need to get to the bottom of this and find out just what exactly he is trying to hide" she said to me. I shook my head. "No. We aren't going to do that," Rowan still had his eyes closed and so he did not notice all of this. "What why?" Elisa asked me but I just ignored her. "Well, I'll be going to bed.
NAYAMy mind was brought back to the present when Elisa reminded me of this. Rowan was indeed a shifter. I had felt his wolf and Elisa had felt the pull of his wolf too. But why had he not told me anything about it? I knew that a new I was a wolf because I did not hide my scent. Another wolf could definitely sense that I was a wolf as soon as they came close to me. So Rowan knew all this time. But he did not say anything. "I don't know. I am sure that he has a reason for keeping it away from me," I said. "What kind of reason could he have not to tell you something this important? And he had definitely been hiding his wolf scent. So he knows that you are a wolf too. Why did he not anything to you? Can't you see that he is trying to hide something Naya? " Elisa asked me urgently. "I really don't think that he is trying to hide anything. He probably has his own reason. Anyway since he doesn't want to talk about it I think that we should leave it alone" I said. I was not going to pu
NAYA"Then, we need to find out who is really close to Liam among all the people around your father. I am sure that the person closest to Liam is the one who poisoned your father," Elisa suggested. I shook my head. That was not going to work. "No...that is not going to work. Almost all of them are close to Liam. I can't suspect everybody, can I? I was the one who told them that I loved Liam and that I would marry him at all costs so they all immediately accepted him. It won't be easy to find out the culprit that way," I said. I felt foolish when I thought about all of the things that I had done for Liam in my past life. I was so in love with him, so much so that even when my father told me that I had to be careful with him, I ignored what he said and continued to be an idiot for Liam. He must have thought that I was so foolish, playing into his traps so easily.Elisa sneered at this. "Of course. You were so in love with Liam that you had no idea what you were doing. Of course, yo
ROWANNaya's eyes had not left me ever since we started eating and I could see that something was going on. What was going on in her head?!"You can say whatever you want to say. You know that it is creepy when you just stare at me like that right?" I asked her. She cleared her throat. "Well, I know you're still upset over what happened yesterday but I wanted to tell you something. I have to leave the city for a few days. I plan on going to..." "No!" I said firmly. I did not need to hear whatever else she had to say. I would not be letting her out of my sight. I didn't need a dead wife. "Hey. You can't just say no. You haven't even heard what I am about to say yet!" She complained. I did not plan on changing my stance. I was not going to let her go and I did not need to hear anything. "You can as well forget about it because there is no way that I am letting you leave the city all on your own , after what had just happened. Seriously Naya, don't you value your life?" I asked her
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
