‘Where you sent her to’ a deep voice grumbled in Liam's head.Liam froze in shock, that was the voice of his wolf. Did his wolf just talk to him? His wolf, who has been silent for months now, just spoke to him. Liam could not believe it, everything felt so surreal yet, happiness filled his heart. Scarlet didn't want him around her, but with the way things were going with his wolf always showing signs of waking up and talking to him anytime he was around her, he couldn't stay away from her. “I need my phone” Scarlett snapped at him, waking him up from his reverie. This time around, Liam gave it to her without any more fuss. He watched as her fingers tapped away on the phone and clicked on that man's number. She placed the phone on her ears after that. “Hello Alex, I'm sorry I missed your call" Scarlett said immediately Alex picked her call“Scarlett? Oh, thank God. Do you know how worried I was? I have literally searched the whole city for you, even the police could not locate you.

“Don't you have any important things to do today? Pack duties and all, why are you still here?”Liam lazily adjusted his position on the sofa, “You should ignore my presence”“Well, I can't. Not when your eyes are on me”“You like my eyes on you?”Scarlett frowned at him, “What happened to you?”“What happened to me?”“Stop acting like you don't know what I'm talking about” Scarlett snapped, getting frustrated because he kept answering her questions with questions of his own.“I don't read minds, now, do I? You need to tell me directly what you mean so that I don't misunderstand you”Scarlett rolled her eyes, “You are talking too much and acting like a complete ass. You used to be quiet and…” entirely different. “And that was the Liam you knew and loved?” Scarlett's face closed up, and she dropped back on the bed, sighing softly, “It's a good thing you used past tense” Liam snickered, but a knock at the door ended their conversation, it was Ryan. Liam rose and went to get the food

“You are free to go”The words were not completely out of nurse Annabel's mouth before Scarlett, who was no longer weak, tired and had now fully recovered her strength, was off the bed and reaching for her purse. “You will be giving birth soon, you should keep coming for checkup”“Hmm” Scarlett murmured absentmindedly. All her mind was on leaving this room and Liam's presence, which has become suffocating in the past few days.All she wanted now was to breathe in fresh air that did not smell of roses, disinfectant, or Liam's scent anytime he came close to her to give her food. Scarlett walked around Annabel intent on leaving the room, but Liam stepped in front of her, blocking her path. Scarlett caught herself and took a step back before she knocked into him. She raised her head to give him a questioning look, “What now?” She hoped he was not going to stop her because she knew that without his knowledge or consent, nurse Annabel would not be letting her leave right now. She hoped h

Scarlett was surprised to see Alex in her office, he had his head buried in a huge pile of documents. “What are you doing here?” she asked with raised brows as she shut her office door behind her and approached the desk.Alex's head came up fast and his eyes widened in surprise before he was abandoning the documents, getting up and circling around the desk with his arms held open for her, “Scarlett, you did not tell me you were coming back today”Scarlett accepted his hug but because of her bump, she could only give him a side hug, “Sorry, my phone's battery died, and I forgot to charge”“Yeah, I noticed. I have been calling you for days. You should have found a way to charge, then, call me to pick you up.” Alex's hand lingered a bit on Scarlett's back when she began to pull away. They separated from the hug and Scarlett failed to notice that Alex did not want to let her go at first but changed his mind later.Scarlett moved to sit down, “I told you my aunt seized my phone. She only

Liam, like every wolf, had wanted to find his fated mate. He, like every other person, wanted the love that came with being with the mate the moon goddess picked for him. He wanted love, and he wanted a family of his own. So, when he couldn't find her, he was heartbroken but had to move on to picking a mate for himself. He attended many werewolf gatherings hoping to pick a woman who caught his eyes, but he never found one until that fateful day he saw Scarlett on the training grounds. He’d known immediately that she was the one. It just felt so right, he did not think twice about picking her. He told himself many times that it was because of her father's rank; he was also doing her a favor by placing her above her peers. But with what Jama was saying and what was happening right now, it was his wolf that helped him pick Scarlett.Oh, his wolf immediately accepted her, when he had been thinking he would have to make his wolf like whoever it was that he would pick. His wolf who likes S
