Chapter 147Chloe’s POV. "I don’t know what’s next for us to do. I don’t even have anywhere in mind," I Wailed my eyes darting around. “I told you before involving the police, now we don’t even have anywhere to go” Lucy cried, I stepped in front of her and gave her a hard knock on the head."Stop saying rubbish and let's focus on where to go," I snapped with a gritted teeth."Hey! you," one of the employees said as she walked towards us"Did you have any idea of what’s happening here?" She inquired of as she reached my side."No, I don’t. I’m clueless, just like you are," I replied."Yeah, we are clueless just like you," Lucy added with a smile."Let's go," I said, holding Lucy's hand as we both walked out. I could swear the girl's eyes were following us, but I didn't care too much.After walking for about ten minutes, my stomach made an audible noise, and Lucy shot me an annoying glance."What's that noise?" she smirk "Hunger," I replied with a wide smile."Let's go get something
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. It was a complete stranger, with a confused expression on his face."Uh, can I help you?" he asked, clearly taken aback by my sudden tapping and calling out a name.I felt my face flush with embarrassment as I realized my mistake. "Oh, I'm so sorry," I stammered. "I thought you were someone else."The man smiled kindly and nodded. "No worries, it‘s okay." with that he walks away. I quickly returned to the restaurant, my head hung in embarrassment. Lucy was still sitting at the table, a huge grin on her face."Chloe, what happened?" she asked, barely containing her laughter."I thought I saw someone I know," I admitted, feeling silly.Lucy burst out laughing. "Are you daydreaming now, weren't you?" she teased."Shut up, Lucy."I playfully rolled my eyes. We both laughed and continued our meal, enjoying each other's company and
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
Chapter 150Chloe’s POV. As soon as I wrapped my arms around Ryan, he angrily pushed me away, and I fell to the ground. I was taken aback, my eyes wide with surprise. Lucy rushed to my side, trying to help me up."Who the hell are you to hug me?" Ryan yelled, his eyes blazing with anger.I quickly stood up properly, my heart racing as i approached Ryan again. "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. "I don't know what kind of game you're playing, but I'm not interes
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. "Liam, you've made your bed, now lie in it," one of them said. "You slept with Mendy, you bonded with her. You can't just reject her now."I felt a surge of anger at their words. "That was a mistake, a moment of weakness. It doesn't mean I'm bound to her for life." I reject my eyes staring at a spot with rage. "You should have thought of that before you acted, Liam. Now, you've committed to her, and you need to see it through." one of the council members shook his head.I realized, with a sinking feeling, that the council was not
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
Chapter 153 Author’s POV. "I'm asking Did you know Chloe, you do? don't you?" Ryan's eyes narrowed, his voice firm again. "Chloe? I don't know Her I've told you countless times" May Rolled her eyeball from one edge to the other her expression turned puzzled, her voice innocent. "Don't lie to me, I know you're hiding something. Chloe is connected to me, to my past. And I think you know more than you're letting on."Ryan's eyes searched hers, trying to read her expression. "I bet I don't know a damn about her. And even if I did, why would I keep it from you?"May's face remained blank, her voice unsteady. "Because you're always keeping secrets, You're always hiding something from me. And I'm tired of it!" Ryan's eyes flashed with frustration, his voice rising. "Ryan, that's not fair. I'm trying to protect you, to keep you safe. You don't understand what's going on, what's at stake."May expression turned hurt, her voice soft. "I don't understand. Why are you protecting me? Why
Chapter 154 May's eyes welled up with tears as Ryan's harsh words cut deep. She tried to speak, but her voice was barely a whisper. “Ryan…I’m sorry” She pleaded, her eyes begging for understanding, but he shut her down. "Don't mention my name with your dirty mouth, May," Ryan sneered. "Instead of whining, come up with a solution to the problem you cause," he snapped. Ryan's worry about Grandma Terry's whereabouts was evident, but his anger and frustration were misdirected at May. "Maybe she went home? We could try going there too?" May suggested. "You think we can just waltz up to the house without the paper address? You're stupid, May. How will we even find the house?" Ryan's response was cruel. "Grandma Terry mentioned a big white house, and her husband was well known on the street..." May Uttered her voice still trembling. "So, you expect us to start asking around like lost children? 'Hey, have you seen a big white house?' Get real, May." Ryan's expression turned unbeli
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
