Chloe pov "Ryan..." I called out, tapping him on the shoulder to face me.The man turned around, and our eyes met. But, to my surprise, it wasn't Ryan at all.

Chapter 149Liam’s POV. I lay down in the comfort of my bed, my gaze fixed on the ceiling. I hadn't been myself since the day Chloe vacated my house. I felt so stupid for letting her go without trying to stop her. I thought I could move on from my feelings for her, but instead, it became more severe, and I felt more entangled in my emotions for her. I had finally realized that I love Chloe and not Mendy. Mendy's dad had called me the day before, asking when I would be mating with Mendy. I had no idea what to say, so I told him I would get back to him. The truth was, I wasn't ready to be mated to Mendy, but did I even have a choice?Just then, a loud knock at the door jolted me out of my deep thoughts. "Come in," I said, sitting up straight in bed. The door opened, and Lia walked in with a wide smile. "Your breakfast is ready," she announced, walking further into the room. "Okay, I'll be right there," I replied.I expected her to turn back and close the door, but instead, she wa

"It's me, Ryan. Chloe," I said, beating my chest with my fist, trying to make him remember.But Ryan's face remained blank, his expression unchanging. "I'm sorry, but I don't know you," he said, his voice cold and detached.I felt a stinging sensation in my eyes as tears began to form. I couldn't believe what I was hearing right now, Ryan didn't even recognize me. How? "Chloe, maybe we should….."Lucy tried to intervene, placing a hand on my arm But I shook her off, my eyes fixed on Ryan. "No, Lucy. He needs to remember. He needs to know who I am." I snapped.

Chapter 151Liam’s POV. I stormed into the council chamber, my anger and frustration barely contained. The council members looked up at me, their faces a mix of angered and disappointment."Liam, we've been expecting you," one of them said, their voice firm. "We've heard about your refusal to mate with Mendy.""Yes, I refuse to be forced into a mating I don't want," I said, my voice sharp.The council members exchanged glances, their expressions unyielding.

Chapter 152 Chloe’s POV. I looked exhausted like I've been carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. My clothes seemed to be sagging under the burden too. Lucy, sitting beside me, looked just as tired as me, her eyes also bearing the signs of fatigue. She leaned against the headboard, her expression soft with concern as she gazed at me. The hotel room was small and plain, with gray walls that seemed to close in on us. The old carpet creaked beneath our feet, and the single window let in a sliver of sunlight, casting a warm glow over the space. The clock on the desk ticked away, a gentle reminder that we only had two hours to rest before we face whatever challenges lay ahead. We searched almost all the city before we found a cheap hotel that would accept two hours of payment cause we were left with no money Lucy's voice was gentle as she asked, "Chloe, how did you come back to MayHill?" She paused, her eyes filled with empathy. "What happened that made you stay away so l
