Callum's POVOver the past few days Max aura had increased. It became more annoying and irritating. How dare he threaten me. He knew how to play this game very well, he must have thought it through, over and over again on ways to defeat me.Liv was his triumph card. He always used her to his advantage, especially at a time when he knew I would win against him. This time around, he crossed all boundaries with his brothers.Attacking dark moon pack just so he could get Liv to be his wasn't enough for him. Now he wants to get rid of Liv just to save himself, earlier Max wasn't sure of his victory but now he knew for a fact he would surely win.Liv was my weakness. If I dared to go against him, he would surely kill her. One traits I had seen in Max is he doesn't make empty threats, he does whatever he says he would do without any feeling of remorse or taking time to think about it.On the other hand. I can't act so helpless, I can't watch Max do as he pleases just because I'm scared of pu
Max’s POVI threw the darts that were wrapped in my hand at the board in the pack’s arcade. I was thinking a lot, my mind wasn't in one place. I knew I needed to take my mind off whatever I was thinking so I chose to distract myself. It was for the best.The decision to play the darts didn't help me in anyway. I still found myself going back into my head, the thoughts I didn't want enveloped my mind. It didn't want me to toss it away even for a second.The only name and person who enveloped my thoughts was Liv. Why was she so stubborn? why doesn't she understand that I was the only person who genuinely wanted the best for her.I thought that if I handled her with a strong grasp, she would comply to my words but nothing of that sort happened. She just kept on crying and wailing, the sounds of her loud cries became irritating to my ears.Liv was just a manipulative soul. I was glad I was able to see through her tactics. On the other hand it was Luna Rebecca. Never for once has she left
Max's POVAfter the guard told me it was a woman who had asked for permission to see me, I became quite curious to know who she was.I didn't deny I had a lot of women in my life. Especially the ones that were just there for sexual pleasure. I personally warned them not to try to see me unless I came to see them so they wouldn't dare to defy my orders. They didn't have such guts for that.I had been waiting for a very long time but I couldn't get a glimpse of the mysterious woman. Didn't she know who I was? didn't she have any idea on who Alpha Max was? He really doesn't like to wait for anyone. I was slowly losing my patience.It had been up to some minutes when I told the guard to send her in. I had important things to attend to, I gave her a chance but she missed it so it means I was out of there.I was about to make my way out of the door when I heared some footsteps. I for sure knew it sounded like it belonged to a woman, it was the sound of heels which clicked across the hard tu
Liv’s POV I had refused to eat anything or drink water. I preferred to starve to death than give Max the false impression I enjoyed being with him. I was extremely sturborn. I wanted Max to know how far I could go if I didn't get what I wanted. Who did he think he was to lock me up in a dark room all alone? Did he really expect I would sit in here? If that wasn't enough he wanted me to follow his orders as though I was a lost puppy. It was better for me to die of starvation than to make him feel more powerful that he thought he already was. My stomach was hurting a lot. I had become so weak. I tried to swallow but it didn't go down my throat, it was stucked. My throat felt dried. My head began to bang a lot, I felt dizzy. I knew I needed some rest. No matter what, I made sure to keep in mind I shouldn't fall asleep for any reason. That's because I didn't trust Max, not at all. What if he tried to harm me or defile me without my permission?. He was a man, he was quite stronger than
Callum’s POVI imprinted my last ink on the map. I dropped the ink pen aside as I smiled to myself, deep down inside of me I was fulfilled with myself and how far I had come. I had sleepless night trying to draft out a plan of how I was going to attack dark moon pack with Ryder's help.“This is all we need in order to execute our plan" I said, finally breaking the silence that consumed us.“I'm with you in that but first of all we need to find a way to get into darkmoon pack without Max knowing” Ryder voiced out. I looked at him. I thrusted my hand into my pocket as I began to pace back and forth.“You're right about that. I was so consumed in drafting out an attack plan that I forgot the most important thing that would lead us to the begining of our solidified victory” I said. I strode towards the table where the map was. I leaned down as I placed my elbow on the table.“I think I have a legit plan. Ryder grabbed a plain sheet of paper. He placed it on the table as he grabbed the in
Liv’s POV… I was so weak, I doubted I could move my legs. I didn't want to try so I just laid down on the bed with my eyes closed, with the thoughts of if I could get some sleep without any disturbance. Just as I had predicted, I heared a knock on the door. I opened my eyes to see a guard who stepped inside the room. “Follow me" the guard said, his voice laced with command. I remained stilled as I stared at him intently. “Where are you taking me to?” I asked, my voice coming off as though it was a whisper. I could barely speak. “I have been assigned not to say anything to you. I'm only carrying out my orders” he said. At first I was confused on where he wanted to take me to. Without thinking too much, I had come to a conclusion to decline his request but then I thought about it. It would only mean trouble for him, I was once in that position of having to carry out orders so I would understand better. “Alright I'll come with you" I said. I managed to raise my body up. I pl
Liv’s POVAfter my conversation with Samantha. It didn't take long for the guard to walk me back to my jail, it might be a room but I still considered it my jail.I wasn't allowed to do as I please. What more could be worse than living my life on a psychopathic person's terms?. I can always believe that Max loves me but his love isn't good, it disrupts the air that I breathe in everyday.He might love me but his love can only be termed as toxicity. His love is overly possessive, he needed to learn a lot when it came to the aspect of love. Especially his anger issues, it needed to be managed as soon as possible but it wasn't up to me to help him in that. He would surely find a way to sort himself out if he really wanted to.I can only extend my hand of help to a person who wants it, to a person who deserves it. Not to a person who feels as though he is superior to everyone.On the other hand, I found myself in a dilemma. I was left pondering on everything Samantha said to me. I knew sh
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
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
