Zoe's heart skipped a beat as Liam's eyes fell on her. She flinched in fear, her hand still covering her mouth. She swallowed hard and began to move back slowly as Liam approached with a white towel hanging around his neck. She watched in awe as this handsome creature, both gentle and dangerous, approached her. Her gaze carefully detailed everything about him, and suddenly, her eyes fell on the phoenix tattooed on his upper left breast region. He was the typical bad boy she had seen in movies."Do you have some issue with your ear?" Liam, getting annoyed by her silence, yelled at her angrily, jerking her out of her daydream. She was already fantasizing about their happy marriage and beautiful three children."Uhm... hmmm... s-sorry," she stammered, intimidated by his fierce glare. He suddenly grabbed her wrist and aggressively pulled her deeper into the changing room. Pinning her against the wall, their breaths touched each other's skin in a soothing way. He fixed his dreamy blue eyes
"Now follow me, little she-wolf," Liam said and walked to the gym center. Zoe followed behind him closely like a lost sheep. He began his workout, and Zoe just stood and watched as he effortlessly lifted twenty-five kilograms of weight. The muscles in his arms contracted, appearing like a network of veins. His sweat dripped and rolled down his body in a way that made Zoe swallow hard. She was captivated by the scene .Liam stopped weightlifting and then sat up on the bench press, his sweat dropping onto the ground like raindrops. "Hey, girl!" he called out to Zoe, who had been watching quietly for close to an hour. She flinched back to reality, seemingly consumed by tons of dirty thoughts fueled by the captivating sight of the hot guy working out before her."Uh... mmm?" she drawled shyly, quickly ducking her head as his intense gaze and sweaty eyes fell on her, unaware of his outstretched hands."Can I have the bottle of water and the towel, please?" he commanded in a condescending
Liam slammed the rear car door shut, leaving Zoe bewildered inside the car. The engine roared to life, and the car sped away from the gym, leaving behind a trail of curious stares from onlookers. Zoe, still processing the abrupt turn of events, nervously glanced at Liam."Where are we going?" Zoe asked, the wind tousling her hair as she looked at Liam, who wore a mysterious smile.Liam, eyes focused on the road, offered no immediate response. The car weaved through the streets, taking turns that further intensified Zoe's anxiety. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Liam broke the silence."To a place you need to know about," he replied cryptically."Little-dummy, what's your name?" he inquired, realizing he doesn't seem to know her real name, flashing a quick glance at her."Zoe Lupine of the Lupine pack," she replied.Soon, they arrived at an inconspicuous building near the edge of the campus. Liam led Zoe inside, bypassing the curious gazes of students. The interior revealed a
“You can't drop me at home, please,” Zoe protested after being tossed into the rear seat again as if she weighed nothing.“Oh? Ok,” Liam said sharply and immediately pressed his foot on the brake pad. The car came to an abrupt stop in front of the campus entrance.“Get off!” he ordered.“What? I... I mean, you can drive me but drop me before entering my estate,” Zoe drawled quietly, surprised at how seriously Liam took her previous words.“Shut up, girl, just scram!” he ordered in his usual stern and condescending tone. Zoe reluctantly opened the door and sluggishly stepped out of Liam's car, regretting her words.“Maybe if I had just kept my mouth shut, he would drive me further, and I would be able to spend more time with him,” she muttered under her breath and watched as the car roared back to life and zoomed off, leaving her all alone at the school gate.“Storm, he is quite rude, isn't he?” she asked her wolf as she walked slowly to the bus stop.“What do you expect from a wealthy
Isabella watched in horror as the strange man transformed, turning into a tall black monster with long, sharp fangs and claws. It let out an earth-shaking howl that jolted Isabella out of her frozen state. Quivering silently from fear and cold, she swallowed hard, trying to push down the lump in her throat. Slowly rising from the cold ground, she walked silently trying not to alert the monster who seems to be engrossed with its howling.As she took her third step, the monster stopped growling, and its monstrous, deadly gaze fixated on her. It snarled angrily, and in fear, she slipped on the wet ground, her torchlight and phone falling with a loud clashing sound."No!" she screamed, falling on her knees, scrambling through the watery ground in search of her lost items."No, no, no! I can't see anything without the torchlight. I still have to call Liam too! OMG! OMG!" she cried bitterly, rummaging through the wet ground with her hands but couldn't find them. Turning her head slightly, s
"it is okay, I know you went through a lot today, but it's fine now," Liam whispered gently into her ear as he continued to thread her soft, sleeky hair. Isabella cried for a few minutes before she finally found the strength to talk. She freed herself from Liam’s tight hug, wiping the tears and her running nose with the back of her hands. She sniffled and cleared her throat with a loud cough.“Did you see those two monster-looking creatures?” she asked in a croaky voice that carried the weight of the stress she had been through.“Monster-looking creatures? What are you talking about? Are you alright?” Liam said with a tone of innocence, feigning surprise. Isabella shot an angry glare at him, her puffy red eyes swollen from many hours of crying.“What do you mean by 'am I alright'? Are you saying I'm lying or probably running mad?” she lashed out angrily, annoyed at Liam’s response.“No, Isa, that is not what I meant. I mean, you went through a lot of stress tonight. Maybe you are just
"Hey! Hey!" a girl called out to a heavily wounded man lying unconscious and stark naked on the muddy ground of a forest. She kicked him slightly with her foot, and slowly he opened his eyes, grunting in pain as he struggled to sit up, resting his back against a huge mahogany tree."Who are you?" he asked, holding his head as if experiencing severe pain. His eyes fell on his skin, and in embarrassment, he flinched, quickly covering his manhood with his hands. The girl, Abigail, chuckled in amusement. "What is there to hide? I saw it already," she replied jokingly, and immediately his face turned crimson from embarrassment."Didn't your mother teach you not to disrespect older people?" he lashed out angrily."Too bad I don't have one!" she snapped sharply and smiled at him. "Let's get you something to wear and then get you out of here," she declared and then turned to leave."Are you leaving? Damn it!" he yelled as she disappeared into the woods. He tried to remember what happened the
Abigail hesitated, taking in the grandeur of the castle that now served as her new living place. Her heart leaped with joy at the realization that she would be living with a family as wealthy as this.Entering the castle's grand living room, Zoe finally broke the silence with a friendly smile. "Nice to meet you, Abigail! Dad never told me we were getting a new maid," Zoe exclaimed, curiosity sparkling in her eyes. She wondered what could be so special about the strange girl her dad had brought home, but surprisingly, she seemed to have a flicker of attraction for Abigail.Alpha Maximus chuckled, ruffling Zoe's hair affectionately. "It was a bit of a surprise. Abigail here helped me out of a tight spot." Abigail managed a polite smile, still trying to comprehend the swift turn her life had taken. She nodded toward Zoe. "Nice to meet you too, Zoe. I hope we get along well." Zoe's eyes widened with excitement."Let me show you around the castle, Abi," Zoe offered, beaming with a smile.
