Chapter two hundred and eleven Liam's POV lips trembled as her eyes immediately got teary. I immediately moved towards her direction, wounding my arm around her waist and leading her inside. She was so tense, I could imagine how she was feeling. I wasn't feeling at my best right now but I had to be strong for Chloe if I broke down or showed any sign of defeat... Chloe would. I don't know, I don't want to even think about it. Luke followed us as we pushed past the unknowing guests, stepping into the dressing room and shutting the door. "Inform Scott on what's going on and get Lia" I ordered and Luke bowed, leaving the room. Chloe wasn't saying anything, tears only slipped out of her eyes. "Chloe," I called and she shook her head. "It's all my fault, Liam. I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have left them alone" She cried, rubbing her face with her hands and smearing her makeup. I pulled her close and she wrapped her arms around me. "It's not your fault baby. Don't be too h
Chapter two hundred and twelve Author's POV Ryan arrived just as Lucy had said he would and was surprised to see the party in chaos, he traced where Lucy was surprised to see her with Chloe whose eyes were red rimmed, quite obvious that she'd been crying. He stared from one woman to the other. Something wasn't right, he could feel it. "What's going on?" He asked Lucy crossing over to her side. Seems like his question prompted Chloe to start crying afresh. Lucy stared up at her husband with a tired and worn out look. "Chloe's babies were kidnapped," She said and Ryan furrowed his brows. Kidnapped? He'd imagined something else, of Liam not showing up but he never thought it was her babies. Fuck! "Any idea where they are? Or who took them?" He asked, running his fingers through his hair. This isn't supposed to happen to Chloe on her special day. "It's Jax.. well, he got assistance from Mendy of course" Lucy said and Ryan sighed. He knew Mendy was Chloe's sister and from
Chapter two hundred and thirteen Epilogue Author's POV "You're not!... Don't! For goodness sake, you both should stop splashing water everywhere!" Chloe yelled at her children, obviously frustrated as they kept laughing and splashing water everywhere. The tub was overfilled with water and was even spilling. She pinched the space between her brows before groaning. "Mummy, look what I can do" Her almost three-year-old son, called her attention. She stared at him and he made the biggest splash, his sister giggled. "I can do that too," She said and Chloe shook her head. "No... You won't..." She was halfway through her sentence when her daughter went ahead splashing water that even soaked Chloe. She let out a shriek, while both children laughed. "Liam!!" She called. She was so not doing this anymore. The kids were nuisances and a pain in the ass. It'd be better if their father handled them himself. "Li..." The door opened and Liam stepped in, looking around the bathroom
Chapter 1Chloe’s POV I couldn’t help but smile as the chorus of voices sang “Happy Birthday,” filling our cozy living room with warmth. Balloons and streamers in bright reds, blues, and yellows danced along the ceiling as our friends and family gathered around, celebrating my twins’ sixth birthday. Six years—it felt surreal, almost like it had happened in a blink.“Make a wish, sweethearts!” I encouraged, watching as my twins squeezed their eyes shut, each undoubtedly making a wish with all the fierce concentration only children seem to manage. Then they blew out their candles in a synchronized puff, their laughter ringing out as cheers erupted around them.I stared around, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces that gathered to celebrate the special day with us, my eyes suddenly spotted Lia across the room, rocking her little one on her hip while chatting animatedly with one of our guests. Her eyes met mine, and I couldn’t help but laugh, playfully I stride toward her and I
Chapter 2 Chloe’s POV The door swung open, and my breath caught in my throat. Standing before me was Mendy, her lips curled into a predatory smile, eyes glinting with that familiar edge of malice that I thought I’d left in the past. I hadn’t seen her in years—not since the trial, not since the conviction that should have meant she’d stay locked away. Yet here she was, larger than life, bringing with her a chill that cut right through the warm, joyful haze of the birthday party. “Chloe? Who’s at the door?” I heard Liam’s voice jolting me awake from my long thought, and I strived to reply but my tongue felt glued to the roof of my mouth. When I finally gained my voice and plan to answer, Mendy brushed past me, slipping through the doorway as if it were her own home. She strutted into the room as if she belonged there, her gaze scanning the faces of my friends and family as if she were a hunter sizing up her prey. “Well, well, isn’t this a sweet little gathering,” she cooed, her
Book 2 Chapter 3Liam’s POV Chloe’s scream cut through the house, sharp and desperate, tearing me from the hallway where I’d been pacing, trying to process the events of the last few minutes. The party had turned into a nightmare in a heartbeat, Mendy’s presence unraveling everything we’d built. Without a second thought, I rushed toward Chloe, barely registering the concerned looks from friends and family as I pushed through the crowd to find her.She was on the floor, her knees pulled to her chest, clutching our twins so close that they squirmed against her grip. Her face was pale, and her breathing was shallow, frantic. I knelt down beside her, my hands hovering uncertainly, desperate to touch her. “Chloe,” I whispered, steadying my voice. “Did she hurt you? Did Mendy do anything?”Chloe shook her head, but her wide, glassy eyes didn’t meet mine. Her hands gripped the kids even tighter, her body trembling as if just the sight of her sister had shattered her. “Liam, she’s here fo
Book 2 Chapter 4Liam’s POV Something gnawed at me. The people I’d been speaking to were acting strange, too quick to brush me off like I was just another angry guy on the phone. The more I pressed, the more evasive they became, stammering excuses that did nothing but stoke my frustration. I should have had answers by now—hell, I should have been the first to know. As Alpha, they owed me that much. But instead, every door I knocked on slammed shut, leaving me with nothing but more questions.I tried to shake it off, telling myself this was just standard red tape, that some fool somewhere had screwed up and let Mendy slip through the cracks. It was bureaucracy, plain and simple. If there was one thing I knew, it was how badly the system could bungle things. But Chloe’s face, pale and scared, wouldn’t leave my mind. I could still hear her frantic whispers, her fear for our kids, her insistence that Mendy was back for revenge. I could tell her that everything would be fine until I was
Book 2 Chapter 5Liam’s POV I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Jax—of all people—had a hand in Mendy’s release? It didn’t make any sense. I leaned back in my chair, trying to piece it together, but no matter how I looked at it, I kept hitting a wall. After everything that had happened, after the chaos Mendy had caused, her freedom felt like a slap in the face. And now, knowing that Jax might be the one behind it… it was enough to make my blood boil.It had only been a few days since the incident with Mendy, but Chloe was still uneasy. I could see it in her eyes, the way she tensed up every time her phone buzzed, or whenever someone mentioned Mendy’s name. She thought I hadn’t noticed, but I knew her too well. I knew the worry that gnawed at her, even if she tried to hide it. She thought she was protecting me, keeping it all in—but in reality, she didn’t have to. If anything, I needed to be the one protecting her.When Thorne, first brought up Jax’s name, I almost laughed. The i
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
