LIAM'S POV I stood in front of the door and tried not to yell at her for her recklessness. Was she seriously not clocking the danger she was in? Someone out there is out to get her, and she thinks this is the time she can storm out of the house? Not fucking happening. "Liam, seriously, this isn't funny. Let me go." She glared at me, and I was positive that if she could kill me with her eyes, I would be six feet under. "You're not going anywhere, Amy. You're in danger." "Thanks to you." She shot back. I never knew she was this fiery. I had given her room to grow, and I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not because I was the one on the end of that sharp tongue. "Seriously, I can't let you leave the mansion. You're under the safest room in all of Crystalline." "Isn't that so ironic? That the safest place to be is under your roof." I don't know if she wanted to cry from fear of me or fear of all the information I just dumped on her. What I do know is that it hurts to be call
AMY'S POV Whatever he had to say, I know I would have to sit down for it. He looked way too serious. "Let's go up to our room." He nodded and followed me up to our room. "We can talk here." Less time for him to change his mind and lie to me. He looked around nervously. "Anyone can be listening." "Fine." I sat down on the bed and mentally braced myself for whatever he was about to say. He paced the floor while I got out of my shoes and hung my coat. "I'm ready." "Bella Mia," he began. "What I'm about to say might come as a shock to you." "Which is why you should get it over with on time. You're making me nervous. Will you stop moving around and stay in one place?" I snapped, and he came to a halt. "I'm sorry, baby." He sat down beside me and held my hand in his. "Have you ever Googled me?" "No, why would I need to do that when the real thing is here?" What sort of question was that? "You should." I thought he was joking until he made me do so. He practically shoved his p
LIAM'S POV "So, you've eventually allowed her?" "Not exactly, she found out I was keeping it from her." "See? You should have told her beforehand. I guess you're now sleeping in the guest room." "My wife isn't unreasonable." "Hmm... I think..." "Why don't you give me a full report about the Alphas I asked you to look into?" "But it's so much fun to gossip about your marriage instead." "You're worse than an old woman." Reid had been on my case since I stepped out of my car. I hadn't even gotten my coat off before he started hounding me for information. "So, just tell me so I can get off your case." Knowing his stubborn ass wasn't going to drop it, I gave him the rundown of what went down last night. "She's so smart." He grumbled after I finished. I couldn't believe the first thing I was doing at work was talking about my marriage. He was a bad influence on me. "I can't believe she chose to stay with you, Alpha." "Shut up. You're one to talk. You're not even married yet."
AMY'S POV "Call me if anything happens, okay?" Liam said for probably the 10th time. "What do you think is going to happen to me, huh? Someone's going to kidnap me?" "There's always that possibility." "You have to be joking." "I'm not." He said seriously. Liam could really overdo it sometimes. Despite being married for over a few months now, he still had this irrational fear that I was going to run away. If anything was going to make me run, it would be his overbearing attitude right now. "Yes, you are. Nothing is going to happen to me." I told him as I finished applying my lip gloss. "I still want you to..." "Aren't you supposed to be at work?" It's almost 11 in the morning, and he's still at home, insisting he would drive me to the park. Maddy and I had finally reconnected, and we had set a date to meet at the park because anything other than a public place was unacceptable for him. The original plan was to go to her house. It was the reasonable option, but in his own wor
LIAM'S POV I regretted the second the words left my mouth, and I wished I could take them back instantly, but the damage had been done already. The look on her face was one I couldn't describe. It was everything and nothing at the same time. "What did you just say?" "Look, forget it. I'm sorry for keeping it from you." "No, I need you to repeat what you just told me." "No, Amy." I wasn't going to make myself vulnerable again. "I'm not going to repeat myself." "Liam, you honestly think I'm going to leave you for Maddy, my friend?" She sounded confused as fuck. When she put it like that, it sounded illogical as fuck. "No," I huffed, "that's not it at all. I'm sorry, okay?" "But I need to understand what's going on so I can forgive you." "I don't know, okay?" I groan and drop on the bed. Great, now she probably thinks I'm mad. The bed dips beside me, and I feel her presence beside me. "Liam, I need you to tell me what's going on." "It's just stupid." "Didn't you witness all
AMY'S POV "Nonna, do you know if we have any bathing salts and scented candles around?" "I will send someone to the supermarket to get some. Is everything fine, Luna?" "Yes, I need some for the Alpha. He's been working too hard lately." She snickered before quickly covering it up. It was a reaction she didn't mean to show. "What was that for?" I smiled so she could see I wasn't mad about it. "I'm having trouble imagining the Alpha in the tubs." I understand what she meant. He was so scary on the outside that it was hard to imagine him being anything else, especially by his staff. "Trust me, I can get him to do anything I want." I winked, and she laughed. I was glad to see her getting comfortable with me. It felt good having someone in my corner. "I know that." I was about to tell her the other reason I had sought her out when a maid opened the kitchen door with a bang. Nonna jumped, and I almost dropped the berries I had been munching on. "Vera," Nonna scolded. "Can't you ope
