Chloe’s POV. My heart thumped a hundred miles. How could you steal something and still have the audacity to look for it? It sounds absurd, but I don't want to be the type to judge without listening.I watched as Miss Ann crawled to the front, leaving only an inch between her and Jax. Her eyeball rolled to the side, as if she was searching for what to say. Hot tears streamed down her face as she cleared her throat.My ears formed a perfect silence, and my heart aligned with the stillness in the room, eager to hear what Miss Ann had to say."The jade... the jade was gifted to me by your late wife," she spoke, but I found it hard to believe her words.Whoever would believes her word? the only person who could testify to it is Jax's late wife, who is no longer here.I shifted my gaze to Alpha Jax. He had a mix of emotions swelling on his face, as if contemplating whether to believe her or take the other route."You're not ready to open up to us, right? Tell me, how the hell am I supposed
Liam’s POV. The journey was incredibly tiring. After searching half of the city, we finally decided to head to a hotel on the street as night approached.The hotel wasn't as big as the ones we've been staying at, but it was still pretty spacious compared to some others.I led my crew into the hotel and we went straight to the attendant to book our rooms.We each got our own room and settled in for the night.It's frustrating and confusing that we still haven't found Chloe. We've searched almost everywhere in the city, but she's nowhere to be found.I know I don't have the exact location she's in, but since she left MayHill with nothing, she shouldn't have gone too far from home. Without much with her, she's likely relying on the kindness of others.My mind is restless, and I won't be able to relax until I see her.As I made my way to the room I booked, I heard a noise coming from another room. It's strange that the hotel manager hasn't addressed it yet. If the noise continues, it's g
Liam’s POV. "I'm here to take her with me," I declared, watching the shock on everyone's faces.Looking around, I noticed the intense gazes on me, especially from my crew, whose mouths were wide open. It's unusual for me to get involved in matters that don't concern me, but this time, I felt compelled to act.As I gazed at the girl, a stranger to me, tears streaming down her face, a pang of guilt hit me. I couldn't shake the feeling of regret for sending her away yesterday, even after her desperate pleas for help.Swiftly, I pulled her close to stand by my side, signaling to my crew to keep their distance. Causing a scene here could attract unwanted attention from the police, and that's the last thing I want.“What are you doing?” the guy who had taken the girl away the night before demanded, his face showing a mix of anger and concern."I said I'm taking her with me, do I need to repeat myself for you to understand a simple sentence?" I retorted with a smirk, noticing murmurs starti
Chloe’s POV. The moon embraced my eyes, and as I swiftly opened them, I gazed at the already white sky, stretching my body lazily. Flickering my eyes repeatedly. I know I slept late, and that's why I woke up late. I wonder why I slept late, and that's when my mind drifts back to the feverish kiss Alpha Jax shared with me and I quickly sat on the bed. I close my mouth, feeling my cheeks redden as I remember the passionate kiss. The moment our hot breath collided forming a room for spectacles The way his tongue did justice to my mouth, how his soft hand squeezed my ass gently using it to generate a moan from me, the gentle moan coming out from his mouth when I reciprocated the kiss.I must say, this was my first kiss, and I enjoyed it. I wish for more of it. If not for Ryan, who had cleared his throat, distracting us yesterday, maybe it would've led to something even steamier.I slap my head at the thought of making something steamy. I should've been lucky Ryan intervened. If Alpha J
Chloe’s POV. I stood like a statue while trying to figure out what to do. Yeah, we kissed yesterday, so why am I making a simple hug such a big deal?I lifted my hand, ready to return the hug, but then he let go, and my hands fell back.My gaze could only scan the floor, my cheeks kind of red and shy.I felt his finger raise my head up, and our eyes met. He stared at me intensely, as if he was trying to devour me.He used his left hand to support my waist, pulling me closer as we exchanged breath through our noses before leaving me and walking to the stool."I'm taking you somewhere," he said, grabbing his car key from the stool and starting to lead me out.I wondered where he was taking me. I just hoped it would be somewhere I'd appreciate, not the other way around.He held my hand as we walked out, with different eyes on us, but he didn't care, and neither did I. I knew nobody would dare make a sound at that moment.We went to the parking lot, and I stood staring in awe. I never ex
Chloe’s POV I wrapped my hands around his chest, resting my face against him. I knew he would be wondering what was going on, but I preferred this to letting Liam see me.He walked beside us, his footsteps halting, making my body shake nervously as I held Jax even tighter."Did he see me?" my mind raced, sweat dripping from my body. “Please go, please” hot sweat formed out of my body as I pleaded inwardly. I noticed Alpha Jax's hand trying to lift my face to meet his gaze, but my grip tightened, I won't let him go until Liam evict the scene, I'm not ready to be catch. I heard Liam leave and waited for several minutes before lifting my head from Jax's chest and looking into his eyes."What's gotten into you?" he asked, holding my arms. I shook my head slowly."Nothing, I'm fine. Please let go, I don't want to be here anymore," I said, walking towards where we had parked the car. Jax followed me."I thought you were getting something for someone. What's wrong with leaving suddenly? W
Chloe’s POV. He released my breast and ended the kiss, causing me to open my eyes gently. Our gazes met, and he asked, “Should I stop?” I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond. Despite enjoying the moment, I didn't want to feel powerless. “If you want me to stop, I will,” he offered. But I didn't want him to stop. This was my first time experiencing such a passionate moment, and I was glad it was with Ajax. I didn't want it to end.Without saying a word, I closed my eyes tightly, mustering my courage, and our lips met once more. I kissed his lower lip deeply, savoring the moment.His hand gripped my waist, and I instinctively wrapped my legs around him. When I opened my eyes, he was already standing, carrying me effortlessly with my arms around his neck.He guided us closer to the bed, gently lowering me onto it. My legs remained wrapped around him, and our lips met again, this time with even more intensity, heat, and allure than before.As he undressed, finding his nipple
Liam’s POV. Lia had told me she needed to go to the bathroom almost an hour ago, and I still can't believe she's not here yet.Who knows if they allow guests to enter the mall. I heard the mall is for VIPs only, allowing entry only with their cards. I wonder if they will ever allow her to step in.After waiting for what felt like an eternity and my rogue started to complain about her delay, I decided to go check if they had let her in or if she was still at the door begging for mercy.I walked toward the mall and then I saw a strange girl running away from me. Or perhaps I'm just overthinking. I wanted to confront her and ask her a few questions, but the man she was with sent me back. I know it's not right for me to invade their privacy. I don't know the relationship between them, but I can tell they are kind of close; maybe they are a couple. I decided to let them be and walked to the mall. When I got to the door, I turned back to take another look at the girl, but surprisingly, th
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
