Even as he stood to leave, he couldn't believe what he had just heard from the Alpha, Enzo. His heart was pounding in his chest, and his thoughts were in a jumble as he followed the guard back to his chambers. The irony of the situation wasn't lost on him. He had risked everything to save Penelope from the clutches of her father, and now she was being called an enemy. It would only take an insane amount of trust to keep her, which was something only a very few Alphas had. Patience and risk weren't something you found everywhere these days.As he walked through the hallways, he couldn't help but wonder who had given Enzo the information about Penelope. As he entered the room, he noticed that Penelope still hadn't woken up. She still looked frail and exhausted, with beads of sweat on her forehead. Liam's heart ached as he looked at her, feeling helpless and scared for their future.He sat by her side, taking her hand in his and caressing her face gently. He leaned over and whispered
As days passed, Penelope's health improved gradually. Liam had taken on the role of her primary caretaker, barely leaving her side, making sure that she had everything she needed. He cooked her meals, fed her, gave her medicine, and helped her walk around the room whenever she felt strong enough.The days were long and tedious, but Liam didn't mind. He was grateful to be able to take care of her and watch her slowly regain her strength. He felt his love for her growing stronger with each passing day.One afternoon, as he sat by her bedside, Liam received a call from Alpha Enzo, who suggested that he should get some maids to help him take care of Penelope. Liam politely declined, telling him that he wanted to look after her himself. He didn't want strangers taking care of her, not when he was there.He could sense the not-quite-impressed look on the King's face, but he didn't care. He knew what he wanted, and that was to be by Penelope's side.Days turned into weeks, and Penelope's con
As Penelope revealed the terrifying message to Liam, his expression changed from curiosity to concern. He took her hand and asks her to tell him everything. Penelope took a deep breath and begins to recount what happened."Yes. We were followed," she says. "She knew my name and she left me a message. She said, 'I know who you are and what are you doing here? I'll make sure you pay for it'."Liam's jaw clenched and his eyes darkened with anger. The fact that someone knows her and was threatening her is not something he can ignore."Did you recognize the woman?" he asked.Penelope shakes her head. "No, I didn't. But I could feel the hatred in her eyes."Liam looked at her and saw the fear in her eyes. He put his arm around her and pulled her closer to him. "Don't worry, I'll protect you. We'll figure out who this woman is and why she's after you."Penelope nodded, feeling a sense of relief that Liam was by her side. But as they made their way back to their room, she could not shake off
Penelope woke up feeling warm and content, snuggled into Liam's chest. She took a deep breath, reveling in the feeling of safety and comfort he provided. "Wakey, wakey, sleepyhead." Penny moaned, following a chuckle.Liam was still asleep, his breathing slow and even, and she took the opportunity to study his features in the morning light. The sun was just starting to peek through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room.She cuddled closer to Liam, feeling a sense of calm wash over her. She was feeling much better than she had the previous day, and she was grateful for the restful night's sleep. She traced her fingers over his chest, feeling the steady thump of his heart beneath her palm.As she lay there, she thought about the events of the previous evening. The dinner had been overwhelming, and even till this moment, she couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't quite right despite Liam's endearing tactics in trying to make her feel better. She had a nagging sense
The rest of the day passed in a blur for both Penelope and Liam. They were both in shock, unable to process what had happened. The food that had been served to them during dinner remained untouched on the table. They both sat in silence, their minds racing with thoughts of what was to come next.As the night wore on, Liam couldn't shake off his feeling of unease. He knew Enzo was up to something, and he couldn't trust him. He stayed up all night, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings. Every sound had him on edge, and every movement had him on alert.The silence of the night was only broken by the occasional howl of a lone wolf in the distance. Liam's mind was in overdrive, and he couldn't help but think of all the possible scenarios that could unfold. What if Enzo had lied to them? What if he had sent them into a trap? Liam couldn't let his guard down, not even for a second.But as the first rays of light broke through the horizon, Liam's vigil came to an end. He had made it th
The next day, he summoned them back for a few questions. He deemed it wise if he started from them. Perhaps had something to say about it.Alpha Enzo was already waiting before they arrived. He sat across from Liam and Penelope, his face grave and solemn. Penelope couldn't help but fidget, her heart pounding in her chest. What was happening? What was the reason for this sudden summons?"Firstly, let me apologize for the sudden and abrupt manner in which my men brought you here," Enzo began. "However, it was necessary for the safety and well-being of our pack."Liam mentally rolled his eyes at the cliché talk. Liam nodded, his jaw clenched tightly. Penelope could feel his unease, and she squeezed his hand in comfort. Enzo continued, "As you know, we take the safety and security of our pack very seriously. There has been an incident that requires immediate attention, and we need your cooperation to resolve it.""What kind of incident?" Liam asked, his voice strained.Enzo hesitated for
Alpha Enzo wasted no time in punishing the spies for their treachery. He began by subjecting them to a series of torturous interrogations, determined to extract all of the information he could from them. He wanted to know who had sent them and what other conspiracies were afoot. The spies refused to cooperate at first, but eventually, under the immense pressure of Enzo's relentless questioning and torture, they began to crack. But he wanted to break them completely, so he opted for a brutal torture.Enzo watched as his men carefully laid out their tools: a large wooden bucket filled with writhing rats, a long, thin metal rod, a pipe to insert the rats into the woman's vagina, and a thick leather whip. The captive was brought before them, and Enzo nodded in approval as the man's wrists were bound tightly behind him.The torture began with the rats. One by one, they were placed inside the man's shirt and trousers until he was covered in squirming fur. Then, using the thin metal rod, Enz
When they arrived at their room, the men locked the door immediately, making sure that no one could enter without their permission. Penelope sat by the side of the bed, her palms on her face. She was frustrated and scared by what was just happening around them."What are we going to do, Liam?" she asked, looking up at him with tears in her eyes."I don't know, Penny," he replied, sitting down beside her. "But we'll figure it out together. We always do."Penelope nodded, feeling slightly reassured by Liam's words. But deep down, she was still terrified. Liam put his arm around her, pulling her closer to him. "We'll be okay, Penny. We'll figure it out. We always do," he repeated, kissing her forehead gently.Penelope leaned into him, feeling slightly comforted by his embrace. But the fear and frustration were still there, gnawing at her insides. The rest of the day passed in a blur for the duo. They were both in shock, unable to process what had happened. The food that had been served
