HomeThat was the first thought that entered Scarlett's mind as Alex placed his hand on the small of her back and led her inside the white mansion. It was the typical muscular man's house, but the ambience of the place was peaceful and welcoming.“I like it. It's beautiful” Scarlett complimented the house after Alex had taken her for a tour. She could not remember the last time she entered a beautiful place like this. Was the last time when she was still living with her father in his mansion, or when she went to their pack house to see Liam after his rejection? Yeah, the last one was correct. The pack house was a gigantic house, even bigger than this Alex mansion. It was equally as beautiful as this place. “Yeah, I'm glad that you like it because you will be living here” Alex told her “ I will be living here?” she thought he brought her to see his house before he would take her to where she was going to be staying. Surely, they won't be living together, right? “What about you?”He m
“So am I to sign something?”“What?” Alex looked up from his cup of ice cream at Scarlett.“Like a document. Is that not how it's done? Or are we just going to do a verbal agreement?” Scarlett asked, confusion was visible in her eyes as she stared at Alex who was sitting on the other side of the table.They were outside to eat ice cream, since that's what Scarlett wanted. She has been the one to bring up the issue of the job he would be giving to her. She was eager to resume work already and also visit different places here. Sadly, she could only visit different places when she was well settled in and had made some money. “Do you want us to sign a legal document?" “Of course” she looked at him like he had grown two heads, “if you were employing someone else that's not me, won't this person sign something? What kind of job are you giving to me anyway?” She did not want to do a hard labor job like serving customers. Not only was it a hard job, it was degrading and led people to talk
The pack had been in disarray since she left. He thought he made the right choice. It had just been the right thing to do at that moment: banish Scarlett, but he guessed, for the first time in his life, he had been wrong. Banishing her was the worst mistake he had ever made. Everything had gone south after she left, and it was almost like he was getting his karma. Almost like the moon goddess was getting revenge on her. He couldn't blame the moon goddess, he brought this upon himself.Liam groaned in pain, clutching his head as another bout of migraine hit him. His body was shaking like he was in the middle of the Antarctic, and sweat was dripping from him like he was placed in an oven. It was happening again. It was another full moon. His migraines had come back harder than ever since Scarlett left. He was supposed to be leading his pack on the full moon run like every other Alphas did, but he couldn't. Since his parents died in front of him on a full moon, he had begun to get the
Noah stood up and approached the pack's doctor, doctor Simon, when he stepped out from Liam's room after putting him to sleep. Noah asked, like he always did after every one of Liam's migraines ended, “How is he, doctor?” And like he always answered, doctor Simon said, “he will heal. The wounds are closing up already”Noah breathed a sigh of relief, “That's great.” He made a move to walk past doctor Simon into Liam's room to check up on him when doctor Simon stopped him. Noah, who was a good three feet taller than doctor Simon, looked down at him with questions in his eyes.“Although the wounds are closing up, it is bad” his expression was grim, “the condition of his head is getting worse, almost as if he were on the verge of madness yesterday. The wounds are worse than the ones in the past, like he was trying to kill himself" Sorrow and concern flashed in Noah's eyes, “What are we going to do about his situation? Even the concoction Jama brewed was not enough to put him to sleep li
Liam stood with his hands crossed behind his back as he watched his soldiers spar and the new recruits learn the basics of hand to hand combat. His eyes were darting around like that of a hawk, and he was picking out soldiers who had potential to join his private army. He would personally train them. So far, he has found only one who was worthy enough to join. The lad was still young—around nineteen years of age—but Liam could see that the boy would go far. He had refused to accept defeat from his partner who was a trained soldier and kept jumping back to his feet once his back hit the ground. It was good, but it was also a bad trait. Liam would work on him in that aspect.Liam watched the young lad's fight for a while before his mind wandered off. Three days had passed since the full moon, and he had recovered; his injury had closed up, but he could feel it within himself that he had become weaker. He has been having migraines, but once Scarlett left, it became worse. He could no l
“Watch your tone and words, Olivia” a voice growled behind Olivia. She twirled around only to come face to face with an angry Noah, neither her nor Liam had noticed.“I am just concerned about my mate. This has nothing to do with you, Noah, so I beg you to leave us alone” Olivia snapped.“You should….” Noah took a menacing step forward toward Olivia, but Liam stopped him by raising one hand. “Leave Olivia. You don't want this to get out of proportion. I will call you when I need you” Liam's voice was cold. Olivia spun around, her blonde hair flying with the wind to face Liam, her baby blue eyes were lit with an angry fire, “You want me to go? What's going Liam? I am your mate, for goodness’s sake. You never treated Scarlett like this!”“He never treated Scarlett like this because she was chosen by him, not forced upon him” Noah snapped behind her Olivia ignored Noah's words and kept all her attention on Liam, “I am the mother of your child….” “The child is dead,” Noah interrupted
“Alpha” Liam did not turn around, he waited for his Gemma to come stand before him.“Alpha, Aaron is a little bit better now. His maid sent a message that he was found watering the roses in the garden this morning” “ That's good” Liam nodded before turning to walk back to the pack house which was close to the training field. 'He was found watering the roses in the garden' those words kept repeating themselves over and over again like a broken record in Liam's head as he opened the door of his bedroom there and walked inside.He couldn't sit still, so he went to stand by the window to stare out. His window was facing the training field. He was going to keep watching the young lad's fight, but his mind kept going back to Aaron.It was supposed to be a good thing that Aaron was now up and about, that he was presently out of his room and was no longer in a state of shock like he had been in the past few months, but it wasn't. Why did he think in the first place that Aaron would forget
“Alana!!” Mandy called out as she waved her hands in the air, bouncing excitedly on her feet. Alana turned around and happiness filled her eyes when they settled on Mandy, who was waving happily at her. She raced over to her, “How have you been, Mandy? I miss you” she threw her hands around Mandy and the both of them hugged each other. “I miss you too” Mandy pulled away to take a good look at Alana's face, “look at you, you are looking so beautiful. More beautiful than the last time I saw you, and you grew your hair?”With wide eyes, Mandy reached out to touch Alana's hair, rolling the tips on her finger, “You even dyed it blonde like I have always wanted you to”Alana had a sheepish smile as she nervously reached out to touch her hair, “What do you think? Is it fine? My course mates said blonde looks good on me”.Mandy rolled her eyes, “Of course, blonde looks good on you. I have literally been begging you to dye your hair blonde. You look so pretty”.Alana smiled widely like a gid
