Liv'Pov…Feeling dejected, I strolled back to my room with tears in my eyes. I wiped off my tears but it kept streaming down my cheeks. I felt bad about myself.The words Max spewed out to me was very hurtful and I couldn't stop myself from sobbing.How could he say that to me? didn't he realise it was me he was talking to?. How do I make him understand that what he so desperately wants can never happen in reality.I tried my best but even before I could try harder, I lost all hope. My life was becoming better but my sorrows and problems wouldn't let my happiness last for long.“Liv please don't be sad. I can't stand seeing tears in your eyes” I heared my wolf console but I didn't see the need to give her a response. I was deep in thoughts but I couldn't deny the fpact that I loved Max as well that is why I felt so much pain when he didn't listen to what I had to say or tried to understand me.Max had put me in a difficult situation in which I might never be able to take myself out of
Liv's Pov…I entered into my room and without giving anyone a chance to come in with me, I slammed the door shut.I leaned my back against the door and slowly slipped to the floor with my knees propped up to my chest.I was tired of everything and I needed an alone time to myself. Whatever I saw would take a while for it's prints to leave my head.What if Callum had killed Frank? the outcome wasn't going to end like that because the dark sky pack wouldn't have shown mercy either.I was aware Callum loved me a whole lot but I’d appreciate it more if he could try to control his temper whenever he was with Frank, because I knew whenever he sets his eyes on Frank he unleashes his anger on him without even thinking twice. I wasn't if he thought twice about it.I wanted to be alone with no one's intrudance because I knew one of them was surely going to come in to check up on me.I heared a knock on the door, just as I had predicted but I didn't know who exactly was knocking.To be on the saf
Max’s POV… With every breath and minutes I spent with Liv, anger flushed through me. I had to leave her all alone before I did the unthinkable and ended up regretting my actions.I was already in regrets as guilt filled me. I had said a lot of hurtful things to Liv but did she ever think about my feelings? Whatever she did without having a second thought proved that she never cared or thought about me, not even for once and thinking about it really pissed me off.Liv had unknowingly showed me where I stood in her life and she wasn't aware of it. I strolled along the woods and I saw someone backed against me. Instantly I knew who it was as I strode towards him and placed my hand on his shoulder. He knew who I was just from my scent and footsteps so they wasn't any need to turn around. I stepped beside him, staring into the trees.“I need to speak to you about something important Ryder, I need your help to accomplish a task at hand” I said and Ryder turned to look at me.“If this has
Callum’s POV…I balled my hand into a tight fist and banged it on the wall. I had always believed Liv's words even without her having to make me understand.One of the qualities I possessed towards her was the act of understanding but right now I wasn't having it with her.Her eyes reflected everything I wanted to know and it troubled me a lot. She said she didn't love Frank but that was a hard lie which she forced herself to spew out.I kept thinking about the possibility of Frank taking Liv away from me. After all Frank was the only person who had ever treated her well and the possibility of my worst fears coming to pass made me feel so uncomfortable.I didnt want that to happen but I also didn't know how to stop it either. A thought crossed through my mind and I gritted my teeth, shutting my eyes.How could I forget to give Liv some contraceptive pills? we all had unprotected sex and I knew for a fact she was still trying to get her life in place.She wasn't ready for a baby yet and
Liv’s POV…I leaned my back on the bed rest and I placed my hand on my forehead, resting my elbow on the pillow.I sighed in frustration, flinging my phone to the other end of the bed. If I acted as though I was happy about the turn out of events I would be lieing to myself.Especially when it came to Frank. I had hurt him a lot by letting my mates mark me as theirs but that was meant to happen sooner or later.Getting marked was my reality and no one could change that fact. Ever since Frank left the dark moon pack without saying a word to me or even look at me, it disturbed me greatly.I called him multiple times but he wouldn't pick up, worst of all I resulted to texting him but he would read my messages without sending back a reply.I was under the impression he would just be upset for a day but it became worse than I had expected.I had been holding onto my hopes for so long but I didn’t think I could do it anymore. I would lose it if I didn’t follow what my heart had been telling
Liv's POVMy heavy eyelids slowly opened and I turned my body to the side, stretching my hands over my head. I yawned and covered my mouth with the back of my hand. I squinted my eyes and raised my eyebrows as I got accustomed to the ambiance.I knew who this room belonged to. I recognized it to be the room Frank had given to me during my stay in the dark sky pack.I placed my hands on the sides of the bed and I felt my head throbbing in immense pain. It felt as though I was being hit several times but I had to bear in mind that such pain wasn't new to me.I slowly dragged my body upwards and rested my back on the bed rest. My throat felt dried as I inhaled deep breaths for some time and proceeded to place my feet on the cold floor, standing up abruptly.I strode towards the door with my right hand placed on the wall for support and Frank walked inside immediately, almost bumping into me.One look at him and my heart skipped. I had practiced a lot I was going to say to him, but staring
Liv’s POVFrank stared into my eyes, his gaze diverted down my hands as he intertwined his fingers with mine.I didn't utter a word to him. I followed him, knowing fully well I was safe with him. Frank could never harm me and that was a fact which became my reality.We arrived at a building just outside the mansion. It was a secluded building and my eyes peered around as I had never been inside that building. My anticipation became intense. I was lost in thoughts when Frank snapped his fingers before my face and I lifted my gaze up at him.“Are you ready to go inside?" Frank questioned and I nodded my head in approval.“Say the words Liv".“Yes I'm ready" I voiced out and we walked inside.I gasped in fear, beholding the terrific sight in front of me. I took some few steps back and Frank's grip on my hand tightened. It dawned on him I was scared.A man was drenched in blood, looking as though he was close to being lifeless, strapped to a chair. Frank pulled me with him and we stepped c
Liv's Pov…“I don't know where she is but I can always assign someone to search for her” Ryder suggested.“There's no need for that. You said Max took her away with him so I'll just go and get her” I said and I was about to walk out of my room when he held my wrist.“You don't seem fit to be walking around. Why don't you take some rest and go find her later, I promise I won't stop you” he voiced out with concern but I wasn't having any of that with Ryder especially at that moment.If I listened to him and try to got some sleep then I would probably lose my life out of anxiousness as I let out a sigh of frustration.“Ryder I don't want to banter words with you so just let me go” I voiced out and twisted my wrist away from his grip, walking out of the room.I searched every nook and cranny for Max but my sight couldn't get hold of him. My heart pondered in fear as I felt guilty for Charlotte.What if Max had given her the harshest of punishment? If only I didn't involve her in all this m
Liv's POV Wake up, Liv! Wake up! Liv! I opened my eyes immediately and found myself lying on the floor of a room where I could barely see a thing. My wolf had been calling for hours. Although it was difficult to see in the room, I was strongly convinced that it wasn't my cell room. The floor was finished with slate unlike my cell room which was raw concrete. Moreover, if it was my cell room, I wouldn't be sleeping on the floor. I wouldn't even have rolled off to the floor because my bed was too big for that.. I tried to get up from the floor and a sharp ache hit the back of my neck. "Argh." I groaned, before carefully placing my palm on the spot and massaging it gently. And in that moment when I touched the spot where I felt the ache, a brief memory flashed through my head. I recalled being hit on that spot. And it happened in my cell room. Slowly, it all started coming back to me. Max! He had definitely sent that soldier back to my cell to knock me out. But what for? I folded
Callum's POV Max stood close to one of the glass walls of his penthouse. His back faced the door where I entered from and he didn't bother turning around to look at me. "Coming up here all alone, Callum, is a bold sign that you underestimate me so much," he said in a soft tone. "Cut the crap and tell me where you hid her," I ordered. He chuckled, throwing his head back. "Tell you where she is? Do you really want to know, Callum? Huh?" He shoved a feet backward in order to turn. "Don't dare it," I ordered. "Don't fucking move." "Huh? Don't tell me you're scared to look me in the face," he taunted. I gritted my teeth hard. "I promise you, Max, make another silly move and I will pull this fucking trigger. I swear on my life." "Bloody dare it," he taunted and finally turned around. I aimed the gun at his chest, carefully to shift it slightly from his heart. Then I pulled the trigger. What I expected to be a bang came out as a soft click sound. My orbs flew wide. When d
Callum's POVWhen I heard noises coming from the vent, I knew Ryder had arrived. But something baffled me. It had been more than thirty minutes now since the alarm went off, and yet, not a single man from Max's army had showed up.Climbing down from the vent, Ryder's brows lifted with surprise at the pile of enemy corpses heaped at a corner of the laundry room. "Quite some work you did here," he chuckled."Shut up," I mumbled, heightening my senses as the tip of my ears stood on edge.I went closer to the wall and placed my ear on it, listening carefully."They're coming," I blurted out immediately I started hearing footsteps approaching. "A lot of them. I think we're outnumbered.""That won't be a problem," Ryder said. "I came prepared."The moment he said that, I heard a heavy bang in the vent and two people murmuring and cussing at each other.Seeing a smile grow on Ryder's face, I raised a questioning brow."They're with us," he said, easing my nerves.Two soldiers came down from
Callum's POVThree trucks were ready to roll out, two loaded with arms and the last one with the tools for opening the tunnel.There were four men in each truck, except the last one which had just three of us.All the guns were muffled with silencers, and then, I instructed my men not to shift for any reason. We needed to do everything possible to avoid attracting attention to us as our group wasn't much of a force.As we drove closer to the location of the tunnel that led into the Darkmoon pack, we turned down our lights just in case some of Maxs guards were there. Luckily, there werent."Take your positions," I ordered the armed soldiers, tucking a pistol into the back of my trousers as I climbed down the truck.With a group of three soldiers who grabbed the equipment we had brought to cut the tunnel open, I went to the mouth of the tunnel.The foul stench of dead rodents hit my nose as we got to the entrance of the tunnel to inspect it. A channel that hadn't been used by our pack f
Callum's POVReturning to Dark sky pack with just a diary wasn't what I'd expected from my meeting with Samantha. Not after the risk we'd both taken to meet up in the woods of the Darkmoon.But the fact that Max kept a diary had me thinking and rethinking. If someone had told me he owned a diary, like a girl, I'd have doubted with every ounce of certainty.A sigh left me and I tucked the shitty diary into the pit of my arms.Ryder had a cup of hot coffee with him when I returned, his legs crossed as he rested them on the table while leaning back on his seat. He had never been a lover of coffee. Definitely, he was battling sleep. And yes, executing our plan had taken hell of time. But I'd rather bear that delay than a shameful defeat coming from advancing to fight Max without a proper plan."How did it go?" Ryder asked, dropping his coffee on the table."You mean the meeting with Samantha?" I purposely asked him."What else would I mean?" He queried. But I was pretty sure that if he p
Max's POVI smirked immediately I sighted Samantha’s figure emerge from the woods."Fucking bitch," I grinned. People who mistook silence for foolishness or weakness were the ones I despised the most.She froze in her tracks at the moment she saw me with my soldiers.With my senses heightened, I could hear her heartbeat throbbing fast, like a rat running out of its hole only to meet a cat waiting there for it."M-a-x," her lips quaked, ready to blurt a lie. But I didn't have the time for that.I had wasted much time already, all of which Callum had taken advantage of."It's not what you—" she tried to say, but I shushed her.Pointing at her, I ordered the soldiers who were with me, "arrest her!"A bitch like her deserved to rot in jail. Starved and punished without remorse."Please, Max. Don't do this!" She screamed as they dragged her away. She was the least of my problems. If she had some sense, she should have been able to tell from the start that I'd been following her with cauti
Callum's POVA beep on my phone. It was Samantha.My fingers became fast to touch the screen immediately I saw it was from her."Found something that could be helpful," the text said, "but you have to be careful so he doesn't notice something is off."I shot a gaze at Ryder who stood just beside me and had read the text along with me. "We need to get to her ASAP," I suggested. "We can't sleep on any slightest chance to push our plan further.""Definitely." Ryder nodded, his arms folded across his chest. "Now, what's a good location to meet up with her?""In the empty apartment of your brain—" Someone's voice intruded from the far end of the hall.My veins tense immediately I realized it was Frank. I gritted my teeth hard, fighting hard to suppress my irritation. I knew it was speak of the devil and he'd show up. But no one spoke about this bastard. Not even a single thought.He began to clap his hands as he approached. "Yeah, what a smart plan put together by two grown men at the di
Liv's POVAt the back of my head, I knew that going through someone's else's property without permission was a bad thing to do. At that moment I didn't want to think about what was wrong or right. There wasn't any time left to judge myself.I felt as though I could find something very important inside of this diary. I was curious to know, especially when I was aware of a diary being a person's first friend.It was hard for me though. For the fact that I wasn't used to taking people's stuffs without their permission but I might never get this chance again. I swiveled my head to Max's direction, he was still asleep.It looked as though he wasn't going to wake up at the soonest so I had enough time to my self. I flipped through some more pages but I was astonished at what I saw. Why was it blank? there was nothing written in it. Was this just to mislead me? did Max know about my plan before hand? No it wasn't possible and I knew for a fact I was right in thinking so.I almost slammed the
Liv's POVMy fingers slowly found the buttons of his shirt. I began to unbutton his shirt, my eyes were fixated on him. The way he stared at me was as though he had set his eyes on me for the first time.I walked behind him, removing the shirt off his body. I wrapped my arm around his neck, his back pressed against my bossoms. I began to caress his chest, I didn't fail to notice when his eyelids closed in the pleasure which consumed him.A sly smile beamed on the side of my lips. I thought it was a hard thing to do but it was so easy to pull him close to me.“I'm sorry" I leaned closer, whispering into his ears. I blew my breath on his earlobe as I dropped his shirt on the bed.“Why are you suddenly acting this way towards me?" he asked. His gaze pierced through my eyes, I stared back at him through the mirror.“What way is that? I really don't know what you're talking about” I said, acting completely ignorant. I turned my body away from him.He grabbed my wrist. I stopped right in tr
