Book 2 Chapter 11Chloe’s POV I excused myself from the living room to answer the call, my mind already tangled in curiosity. I didn’t recognize the number, and the timing felt strange, so many unknown calls had come through in the past few days that I’d started ignoring them. But this one… something compelled me to answer.“Hello?” I said, my voice was low as I stepped into the hallway.I was expecting to hear the reply but, nothing came up. Just silence. My hand tightened around the phone.Lucy glanced at me as she returned from the kitchen, eyebrows raised. “Everything okay?”I shrugged, trying to play it off, though I knew my face probably betrayed my discomfort. “Probably a wrong number. Just… strange.”She chuckled, brushing it off with a wave of her hand. “Oh, you know how it is. Half the calls I get are spam these days. Just ignore it.”I nodded, trying to follow her advice, even as a small knot of worry formed in my chest. I was about to put the phone down and brush it off w
Book 2Chapter 12Chloe’s POV I paced around the room, feeling the anxious energy churn inside me, every second dragging by. My mind was a whirlpool of questions, and none of them had answers. What kind of person sends those kinds of messages? Who would want to terrify me like this?I waited patiently for the arrival of Liam who had gone to track down the number who had sent me the message. Every hour, I’d glance at the window checking if I’d see Liam arriving but no he was nowhere to be found. I slipped my finger inside my lips, bitting slowly anticipating the arrival of Liam, I hoped they were able to track down the person. Suddenly I heard footsteps coming closer, I rushed to the door but before I could get there, the door swung open revealing Liam, his expression hardened and frustrated. The moment our eyes met, I could sense he wasn’t here with reassuring words. My heart sank, but I needed to know what he’d found.“Liam, did you track the calls? The messages?” I asked, practi
Book 2 Chapter 13Liam’s POV The evening draped over the house like a heavy, oppressive weight, I looked down at Chloe lying beside me, and I felt a pang of guilt settle in my chest. Her face was swollen and puffy from hours of crying, it reminded me of just how much she was suffering, and it was a suffering I felt responsible for. The fear, the torment she was going through, it was tearing her apart.I brushed a hand over her hair, feeling the anxiety on my shoulders as I tried to keep myself steady. Watching her fall apart today had shaken me more than I wanted to admit. She’d always been strong, and resilient. But this, this was different. The threats had gotten under her skin. And no matter how much I tried to tell her I was going to protect her, I could see that part of her believed she was on her own.I couldn’t just sit here and do nothing, I had to find something to do, even if I had to risk my life, I didn’t mind as long as I was able to put an end to this threat. I slipp
Book 2Chapter 14 Liam’s POV I pulled into the driveway, and the sight of both Mr. Daniel and Scott waiting by the front entrance gave me pause. I hadn’t expected either of them to be here, let alone together, and the fact they’d waited outside rather than coming inside was enough to put me on edge.I parked the car and stepped out, greeting them with a wary nod. “Evening,” I said, looking between the two men. “Didn’t think I’d see you both here tonight. Why didn’t you just come inside?”Scott met my gaze briefly before looking over at his father, who seemed tense like he was holding onto something heavy. Luke, who had walked out with me, looked like he was about to slip away, but Scott stopped him with a hand on his shoulder. “Stay, You’re a part of this, too.”That got my attention. My gaze shifted to Mr. Daniel, and he looked away for a moment like he was gathering himself. I knew him well enough to see he was stalling, and whatever he’d come to say wasn’t going to be easy to he
Book 2 Chapter 15 Liam’s POV I turned on my heel, intending to leave cause I couldn't bear to listen to the rest of what he had to say, but Luke placed a firm hand on my shoulder before I could move a step, halting me. “My Alpha,” he said quietly, his gaze sharp, “I think you need to hear him out. There’s more.” Scott nodded, stepping forward. “Let him finish. There’s something else he hasn’t told us.”I hesitated, my body taut with frustration, but I took a slow breath and turned back around to face Chloe’s father. His face was worn, lined with worry and regret, yet something told me this wasn’t just a simple plea for forgiveness.He cleared his throat, eyes flicking nervously between me and Luke. “Until recently, Mendy had been visiting me regularly,” he began, his voice low, almost strained. “She kept showing up at my condo, claiming she just wanted to talk, to reconnect… At first, I thought she truly wanted to make amends.”Scott raised an eyebrow, clearly not buying it. I cros
Book 2 Chapter 16 Chloe’s POV I lay in my bed inside the room I shared with Liam, trying to fall asleep at least to let go of the memories that haunted me but no matter how hard I tried, sleep just wouldn’t come. I kept hearing Lucy’s voice in my head, telling me to talk to Liam, to tell him what I was feeling instead of bottling it up. But how? I know he’d understand every one of my bordered thoughts that I shared with him, but I find it hard to even say a word, he was also worried about the kids. After a while of thought and couldn’t lay my hand on a thing to do, the frustration of tossing and turning got the best of me. I threw on my robe, slipped into my slippers, and stride softly down the hall. A faint light was coming from the kids’ room. I wonder if the kid had slept without turning off the light. I walked toward the door and pushed it open only to find Liam sitting on the edge of the bed, watching our children sleep. His face softened in the glow of the nightli
Book 2 Chapter 17 Liam’s POV The early morning sunlight filtered through the blinds as I got out of the bathroom, moving quietly so I wouldn’t disturb Chloe or wake her up from her sleep. I’d have loved her to follow me to the meeting I’m attending but seeing her sleeping peacefully eases me and I won’t want to cut her sleep short. Ever since I told her about her father’s betrayal, I’d sensed a shift in her, sometimes she found it hard to sleep peacefully and was always frightened even if a slight thing touched her. She was carrying a burden she hadn’t asked for, and it hurt me to see her worry so much. I finished dressing, and I turned back only to find Chloe already awake, sitting up in bed with a thoughtful expression on her face early in the morning. Her eyes met mine, and she pressed a fake smile just to cover up her thoughtful place but I knew something was wrong. “Hey good morning,” I said softly, walking over to her. “How was your night's rest?” I asked petting
Book 2 Chapter 18 Liam’s POV I barely had time to process what was happening before my head started spinning and everything became double. I wanted to support my hand on the wall but I felt Liam's hand grabbing my hand and squeezing it with a silent plea to stay calm. His face is taut, his eyes flickering with a warning that makes my heart pound harder. Before I can ask what’s going on, I spot Mendy and Jax, striding over with smug smiles with a step of entitlement that makes my skin crawl. Mendy is all sultry confidence, her gaze trailing over me with a look that’s more disdainful than friendly. And Jax… he doesn’t even bother hiding the way he’s watching me, his eyes lingering on me like I’m some piece of meat he can’t wait to sink his teeth into. That alone makes me feel weak. “Chloe,” Mendy purrs, a mocking sweetness in her voice as she gives me a look up and down. “Lovely to see you.” The way she says it, the way her mouth curls up at the edges, makes it clear that she’s
Epilogue. Three years later. I stood in front of all the people that made mockery of me in the last few years and I came up with an idea that was going to yield a greater impact than whatever they decided to dump on me. It was going to take a long time before I finally gave up because now there was a reason for me to become Luna.Firstly, my eyes roamed about the crowd that had gathered one way or the other and I felt immensely proud of myself and my achievements. I had not wasted any time in making sure that this was completed and this made me very interested in whatever I could get. My eyes rested on my family which had come together after the first issue."Today we gathered together as a pack and celebrated the fact that we have only one person in our midst who has been wonderful through the beginning of time. We must have wronged her but she had never used this opportunity against us!" A moderator spoke on the platform, making me smile a little bit. Everyone's gaze was fille
Chapter 140.Author's POV.Liam didn't waste time to inform Mendy that there were a lot of things for them to do and they needed to do it as fast as possible. The only way they would be able to make a difference because if they were able to push Chloe away.Mendy hugged him tightly, planting a small kiss on his lips as everything she had ever wished for was falling into place in her very eyes. "If anyone had told me that I was going to experience this, I would never have believed it but, here I am with the most amazing man, who doesn't hesitate to do whatever I want. I think I'm the luckiest woman on Earth." Liam's feet tapped the ground in anger but he refused to allow himself to be mad at her. "Yeah, right." Scott and Ryan were already doing their thing, and it was up to him to have them get more answers. "So what do you want us to do? Do you want me to bring the kids over again or to kick Chloe out?" He asked in a somewhat weird voice. This was enough to sell the script that
Chapter 139. Author's POV. At Jax's pack, Jax walked out of his room with his head held high as he thought of the best way to humiliate the woman who had tried to make his life miserable. She had proven to be stubborn and he was going to love it when he broke her into pieces and made her forget the fact that she ever wanted to leave him. It was going to take a lot of mental stress, but what better way than to discover somebody who had wasted her time trying to fight for us, something that even she didn't understand. It was hard to say the least at least from the beginning but now that he had the upper hand, he was going to make it into whatever you wanted and hoped that she wouldn't come against him. "I hope you know that it's my birthday and you have to dance before everybody." He asked. Chloe looked up from the book she was reading. He had been kind enough to allow her access to books so that she wouldn't be bored out of her mind. He had claimed that this was the be
Chapter 138. Liam's POV. I jumped out of bed almost immediately as though somebody had pinched me. I looked around and found myself being alone in a room, wondering what the hell had happened and why I couldn't explain to anyone how I had felt. It was almost like I was telling a lie but I knew deep down that it wasn't. This was as real as possible. Something had changed inside of me. I looked at the teacup on my bed and smelt something weird. I picked it up immediately, inspecting the contents, and realizing it was just normal coffee, but something was highly different. The door opened immediately and I saw Bryan come in without my permission. "How are you feeling today?""When did you start being nice to me?" I demanded from him. "I think it has started to work and that's why you are trying to grasp why everything is upside down." "I still do not understand what you are talking about. I would love more context so that I have a perfect idea." I answered, a little bit worried
Chapter 137.Author's POV. One month later, Ryan and Lucy stood in front of the table in Liam's office this time fixated on him as they looked up and down coming up with nothing else but anger."What is the report from the people back there?""Everyone says that they have not been able to find her. In fact her scent is highly untraceable as everybody believes that she has probably decided to shield herself from the public. Are you sure she has been talking or this is just a way of getting her sanity back?" Lucy asked, a little worried but thinking of other possibilities. Chloe was a woman of many skills and sometimes she could deserve to come up with something but they wouldn't be able to comprehend. If that was the case, then they needed to be as careful as possible and not just Rush into conclusions like that. Liam came in just as they were having the conversation and was a little bit stifled even though he couldn't just ask how things had been going because of the bad relation
Chapter 136.Chloe's POV. Two weeks later, "There is only one place that I know that Mendy would never fail to take those kids to and that is back to Jax pack." Ryan's words rang in my head. It wasn't as simple as that because then I had so much to prove and I hoped that I was able to bring him back on track. I walked into a place that was formerly mine and my mouth fell wide open as I saw Sophia leaning on Jax's body stroking his chin softly. "What the hell is going on here?" I demanded angrily when I saw the way she continued even in my very presence without feeling like she had done something wrong. Sophia stood reluctantly, "I don't know why you are screaming. This is not your jurisdiction where you can do whatever you like so I would suggest that you tame your voice." My eyes widened at the second betrayal that I had received in the last few weeks. Why did everyone I trust turn on me so badly and make me feel like a fool? "You are not even sorry about your actions!" "Th
Chapter 135:Chloe's POV. After my brother collapsed on the ground, I had absolutely no choice but to think of what could be done next to ensure that I had everything back on track. Bryan attended a meeting that was supposed to help assist us on knowing how exactly to deal with my brother's case. Things were already getting out of hand and I didn't know how to handle it. Most importantly, I felt a little bit weird inside my bones as I was left with nothing but people just conversing and making mockery of me as I walked around the pack where I was once respected but now disgraced. My kids were still nowhere to be found and I felt like running mad but decided to hold myself together because if I did let myself go, how on earth was I supposed to get them back? That would simply be allowing Mendy to win and that was the last thing on my mind right now. All I needed was the faith that I was going to be able to overcome this without even batting an eyelid. "So, if I understand correc
134.Author's POV. Mehndi shook her head immediately when she heard those words come out of her younger sister's mouth. Of course, she was going to act like she was powerful, but she knew deep down that this lady feared for her life, and that was exactly what she was about to capitalize on. Her sister would never have the Liberty to move around and to do whatever it is that it took unless it was time and that she gave the permission. "Have you any idea what it means, to lose everything that you have ever worked for? Do you know how problematic your world turns?" Aria asked Mendy whose mind was completely somewhere else and didn't even care for whatever the child must have been feeling. In her mind, she couldn't wait for the kids to realize that she didn't love them and put them under her bondage forever. "You shouldn't disturb me when I'm trying to meditate. You, of all people, know that, don't you?!" She snapped at them, making them recoil in shock. This was the first time that
133.Chloe's POV. I was a little bit worried for my brother who had been doing a lot of work behind the scenes and had not been receiving any glory whatsoever. If there was anybody that I wanted to praise right now in my life, it had to be him, and I wasn't even ready to do anything besides just relax and wait and see what could be done. I had more than enough reason to be afraid when he grabbed the railing and immediately began to tremble like he had been struck by lightning. Someone else might think that I was exaggerating, but that was how I felt at that moment. I had more than enough reason to also fear my life when he came close to me and looked like he was about to give the ghost. My brother was the most precious thing in my life right now and I didn't think that I was going to change that for the world. I have more than enough reason to also relax and hope that the best came to me but I knew deep down that he was trying his best just to make sure that I enjoyed the fines
