NARRATOR'S POV:Abigail raced through the woods, tears streaming down her cheeks. Rejected by her mate, she had never felt this humiliated before. She wondered what had changed; Liam had always been kind and treated her well. Why did he treat her like this? Running away from the Blackhood pack became her plan to escape the overwhelming humiliation. She had become a laughing stock in the pack, and the thought of facing Liam's mother, who had been so good to her, was too much to bear. Abigail stopped in the middle of the forest, collapsing helplessly onto the ground scattered with twigs and dried brown leaves."Vic! Am I making the right decision?" she asked Vic, her wolf, fully aware that Vic would never reply. Vic had been in a deep slumber since an unfortunate incident eight years ago, the same incident that led Liam's mother to find Abigail in the woods. Abigail didn't know her real name or where she came from. Her memory seemed wiped, and the only connection to her past was her wol
A convoy of five sleek black cars zoomed into the entrance of a grand and luxury hotel. The cars came to a graceful halt and the tinted glass of the central car rolled down, unvealing Isabella a vision of sophistication, her black sunshade sparkling mysteriously on her face leaving an air of mystery and elegance in the atmosphere. Reporters swarmed around the convoy like bees drawn by honey. "Miss Sinclair, is the trending news about you and the self-acclaimed pop star Rage true?" a daring female reporter asked, thrusting her long shotgun microphone towards the open car window.Four guards dressed impeccably in black fitted suits emerged from each of the vehicles and in an authoritative gestures they signaled to the reporters to clear a path so Isabella could step out of the car. One of the guards bowed slightly opening the door for Isabella, who gracefully stepped out of the car in grand style. Her long fitted red gown complemented a pair of shiny nude-colored pump heels. A red desi
Everyone was shocked at Liam’s boldness. Riri's eyes widened in surprise, her jaws dropped in shock. "Miss Taylor, I apologize for his imprudence," Isabella quickly intervened, flashing a deadly glare at Liam. She knew he might do something crazy, but she never expected something this wild. Lost in her attraction to the bold, handsome man before her, Riri just watched in awe and wonder. Seeing that Riri was captivated, Isabella quickly removed Liam's hand from Riri's. Liam flashed another smile at Riri before eventually breaking eye contact and turning to leave."What is your name, young man?" Riri finally said, still full of awe. Isabella noticed Riri was starting to develop an attraction for Liam, and a wave of jealousy surged through her. "He is my newly appointed bodyguard, Liam Blackwood," she quickly chimed in before Liam could reply and seduce Riri again. Liam noticed the jealousy in Isabella's reaction and chuckled slightly."Oh! You mean the one in the trending news?" Riri
After Liam's engagement with The Singers Brothers, he returned to Isa, who seemed to be engaged in her chit-chat with Riri Taylor."I saw what you did over there, Liam," she whispered quietly into his ear."Impressive, isn't it?" he replied, smiling softly while sipping his wine, his deep blue dreamy eyes fixed onto Isabella's body."You're supposed to be a bodyguard, watching me every time, not mingling with everyone. And, by the way, who makes a good impression with people by being aggressive? I saw what you did to Danny of The Singers Brothers," she snapped quietly."It's only I that could perform such feats, girl," he chuckled slightly and tried reached for her hair. Isabella quickly stepped aside so he wouldn't be able to reach her."You can't act anyhow here, Liam! There are media and cameras everywhere. Why are you such a pain in the ass?" It's obvious Liam is starting to annoy her.She continued, "You're a guard, act like one!""Hey! I'm not your guard, okay? It's just a ruse
Zoe Lupine had been thinking about the guy she met in the library few days ago and regretted running away without asking more information about him."Sweetheart, you seem lost in thought," her dad, Alpha Maximus, said suddenly, snapping her out of her reverie as they drove to school."I'm good, Dad!" she snapped sharply, trying to wave away her dad’s suspicion. Zoe is the daughter and only child of Alpha Maximus, the alpha of the lupine pack. He is a wealthy businessman in his early forties, who lost his Luna—Zoe’s mother—six years ago when Zoe was sixteen. Since then, he has been trying his best to be a good single parent to his daughter without any intention of getting married again."You are hiding things from me now?" he inquired with an air of disappointment in his tone."Tell him!" Storm urged her."Just shut up already, Storm!" Zoe cursed at her wolf angrily."No, Dad, I'm good," she forced a smile. Zoe knew her dad could kill the innocent boy if he rejects her. Her dad is fear
Zoe's heart skipped a beat as Liam's eyes fell on her. She flinched in fear, her hand still covering her mouth. She swallowed hard and began to move back slowly as Liam approached with a white towel hanging around his neck. She watched in awe as this handsome creature, both gentle and dangerous, approached her. Her gaze carefully detailed everything about him, and suddenly, her eyes fell on the phoenix tattooed on his upper left breast region. He was the typical bad boy she had seen in movies."Do you have some issue with your ear?" Liam, getting annoyed by her silence, yelled at her angrily, jerking her out of her daydream. She was already fantasizing about their happy marriage and beautiful three children."Uhm... hmmm... s-sorry," she stammered, intimidated by his fierce glare. He suddenly grabbed her wrist and aggressively pulled her deeper into the changing room. Pinning her against the wall, their breaths touched each other's skin in a soothing way. He fixed his dreamy blue eyes
"Now follow me, little she-wolf," Liam said and walked to the gym center. Zoe followed behind him closely like a lost sheep. He began his workout, and Zoe just stood and watched as he effortlessly lifted twenty-five kilograms of weight. The muscles in his arms contracted, appearing like a network of veins. His sweat dripped and rolled down his body in a way that made Zoe swallow hard. She was captivated by the scene .Liam stopped weightlifting and then sat up on the bench press, his sweat dropping onto the ground like raindrops. "Hey, girl!" he called out to Zoe, who had been watching quietly for close to an hour. She flinched back to reality, seemingly consumed by tons of dirty thoughts fueled by the captivating sight of the hot guy working out before her."Uh... mmm?" she drawled shyly, quickly ducking her head as his intense gaze and sweaty eyes fell on her, unaware of his outstretched hands."Can I have the bottle of water and the towel, please?" he commanded in a condescending
Liam slammed the rear car door shut, leaving Zoe bewildered inside the car. The engine roared to life, and the car sped away from the gym, leaving behind a trail of curious stares from onlookers. Zoe, still processing the abrupt turn of events, nervously glanced at Liam."Where are we going?" Zoe asked, the wind tousling her hair as she looked at Liam, who wore a mysterious smile.Liam, eyes focused on the road, offered no immediate response. The car weaved through the streets, taking turns that further intensified Zoe's anxiety. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Liam broke the silence."To a place you need to know about," he replied cryptically."Little-dummy, what's your name?" he inquired, realizing he doesn't seem to know her real name, flashing a quick glance at her."Zoe Lupine of the Lupine pack," she replied.Soon, they arrived at an inconspicuous building near the edge of the campus. Liam led Zoe inside, bypassing the curious gazes of students. The interior revealed a
