The next morning, Liam arrived in Zidane’s pack mansion. Cohen planned to do a meeting with Liam regarding the departure of his parents from the pack. Liam could barely sleep, and he chose not to tell Anita yet. He didn’t want to worry his sister for no reason.
“Cohen…” Liam greeted his Alpha.
“Sorry to ruin the mood yesterday,” Cohen said to him. “If I keep it a secret, it would ruin more.”
“No, it’s good. What did they say?”
“Well, they submitted the documents. They said it was time for them to leave the pack.”
Liam chuckled as he sat down. “It’s ironic. They didn’t like Anita leaving the pack. Yet, they’re doi
“This is….” Liam paused.Jazmine looked ahead, and a blush crept her cheeks. When Anita suggested they go shopping before the vacation, Jazmine didn’t expect this would happen. Lately, Jazmine was busy getting her work done, so she came home late, but Anita was just there every time she came home. Anita kept saying that Liam had other business to attend to. The entire week passed just like that, and their summer vacation would start in the morning.“Anita, why would you drag us here?” Jazmine asked, shaking her best friend, who kept laughing like a maniac.The store that Anita suggested was a lingerie store.“You need some bathing suits. Don’t tell me you’re going to spend your summer in clothes? Right, Liam?&r
The next day, Liam strolled around the building, looking for something suspicious. He got in contact with the Ghost team that was watching Anita since day one. Liam went to the gym that he frequented in the past few days and spotted a few guys working out. He walked into the locker room and encountered the member of the Ghost team, Ian.“I’ve acquired the information you wanted,” Ian said, handing a brown envelope to Liam. “One month ago, there was an increase in murder cases in the town. Although the victims seemed random, the killer shared similarity.”Liam opened the envelope and looked through the file and photos inside. Then, his hand stopped at one photo. A picture of a man shifted into a grey wolf. Liam recognized the man because he was once part of Cohen’s pack. He was banished from the pack after he was found g
# Jazmine’s memoriesWhen she was a little girl, Jazmine never understood why her mother, Helen, sent her to her uncle, Richard, who lived five states away from their home. Richard Diaz, a successful businessman who often went abroad for business trips, suddenly became a legal guardian to a four-year-old girl. His bachelor life ended right when she showed up on his front door with her mother. Richard was never a good cook or good cleaner, but he did everything he could for Jazmine, the four-year-old girl who never saw him once in her life. His life was once filled with wild parties, beautiful women, powerful allies, and work suddenly became a life full of tea parties, bedtime stories, groceries shopping, and princess’ dress shopping. Everything changed instantly.He did everything he could to give her the best life and everything s
Liam’s hands clenched on the steering wheel after those words left Anita’s mouth. He never expected Jazmine to be in a certain predicament where she was constantly monitored and protected by others. For five years, Liam thought he would be the one to cause inconvenience in her life, and little did he know, he wasn’t part of that. He realized his mistakes. He shouldn’t have left Jazmine at that time.“I don’t know the full story because she never mentioned all the details to me,” Anita added as she pulled out a blanket and covered Jazmine with it. “What I know is her uncle passed away when she was seventeen. Jazmine didn’t tell me the details, but it seemed her uncle’s death wasn’t natural. The cops would come to see her from time to time when she was in school until her first year in college. I even thought about hiring a private investigato
Jazmine took a deep breath before knocking on the room's door where Liam would be sleeping during the vacation.The door swung open, and Liam stood there without a shirt on, and sweats rolled down his chest. Jazmine’s mind went into a wild run looking at the hot God standing in front of her. He had a dragon tattoo on the left side of his chest that continued to his shoulder.“Do you want to order in or go out to eat? Anita told me to ask you,” Jazmine said.“Ah, one second.”Liam turned around, showing his tattooed back at her. Jazmine fanned herself as she realized she was showing too much attention to Liam’s body. He grabbed his phone from the bed and walked back to her.“I made a r
Jazmine watched Liam from time to time after dinner last night. He kept checking his phone as if he was expecting a call or text from someone. He was awfully distracted. Jazmine didn’t know what could be the reasons for his distraction. It was too much to think about. Could it be about the waitress that Liam talked to?But if she thought about it carefully, Liam mentioned he kissed her to gain her attention. Why would he pay attention to another woman after confessing things like that? He noticed everything about her at Anita’s eighteenth birthday party. All those five years, she thought Liam didn’t even look at her.Jazmine gasped when she remembered Liam had kissed her twice. Her cheeks felt hot out of a sudden as if she was burning alive.“If you continue to stare at him like that, you mig
“They were all werewolves, Zidane,” Liam hissed. “How did you not notice it?”“I noticed it.” Zidane looked at him dead in the eyes. “I noticed it because one of the rogues was the one I banished from my pack after he killed his own mate.”“So, June Lab was experimenting on werewolves with the help of the police who rounded them up in prisons?”“We have no proof to prove the government was involved in this. It might be someone who has power and money. Look at the joint investigation the police have right now. Only a tiny fraction of their force joined it. They’re keeping it from the public because it’s not a covert operation.”“It's an illegal operation. The police officers were bou
She could only blink her eyes and stared into his green eyes. Now that she saw him this close, she finally realized the beauty of his eye color. It reminded her of the evergreen forest. Liam’s eyes were so rich in green, and she couldn’t stop looking into them. Anita’s eyes weren’t as green as his.Jazmine reached to touch the scruff on his jaw. This was why she knew that she had a thing for an older man. Liam had exceeded everything she could expect from a man. His chiseled jaw sculptured perfectly, and with the scruff, he looked hotter. She traced her fingers on his face as if she wanted to map out the structure of his face. Her eyes briefly looked at his lips, the most tempting feature of his. Jazmine wondered what it felt like to have his lips against hers again.Looked at her, a moment ago, she was about to murder him for pulling he
