Karalee's P.O.V.I cried myself to sleep and don't wake up until I hear my phone ringing. I let Benji go to my voicemail and look at the time. I have to be at the ring in two hours. I get up and take a cool shower. I haven't decided what I'm going to do. I'm hoping I'll know when I get there.After I get ready, I grab my bag and walk outside. Benji is there waiting for me in his truck. I hop inside and sigh."Sorry I didn't answer when you called. I was sleeping, and your call woke me up." I tell him, staring out the window as he drives."I was hoping you were sleeping. What have you decided?" Benji asks. I look down at my hands."I still don't know what to do. I went to the hospital, but Liam had checked himself out. I wanted to talk to him to see if he had any memory of me." Benji pats my hand."I think it will all work out." I look at Benji and see that he's trying to hide a smile."Do you know something I don't?" I ask him. Benji shrugs as we pull into the parking lot. The place i
Karalee's P.O.V.I don't know how long I've been staring at the hospital before I take a deep breath and finally walk inside. My heart is racing as I make my way to the desk."Can I help you?" A woman asks without looking up."I'm here to see Liam Mullins," I reply, even though it's hard to speak with the knot in my throat. She types on the computer and shakes her head."Sorry, he's no longer here. He checked himself out against medical advice about thirty minutes ago." She says. My heart drops. Did he leave to find Polly?"Does it say if he left alone or if someone picked him up?" I ask as my tears threaten to fall. She sighs and looks again."It doesn't say." She answers. I feel like I'm going to be sick as I turn toward the door. He left, and now I have no idea where to look for him. My heart is breaking, and even Eva is quiet as I walk to my apartment. I still don't know what to do. I needed to talk to Liam before I make a decision. I can't help thinking about him running around l
Karalee's P.O.V.I can't believe Polly did all of this just so I would let her win. I want to kick her ass now more than ever. If I do, though, will it cost me my mate? I see Liam's nurse run outside and I wave at her, but she acts like she can't see me."I made us invisible so no one knows we're here. Are you going to take the fall, Karalee, or do I need to take your mate and expose what you are? It's up to you." It looks like Polly's confidence is wavering. Maybe she's not as powerful as she thinks she is."Did you do this with all the women you fought? You threatened them so they would take a fall? I bet you can't even fight." Her face freezes, but she quickly recovers."I can fight better than you. I'm just giving you the chance to go down without getting hurt. Fight me if you want, but I'll make sure you lose everything." Something is bugging me about her demeanor. She seems desperate. My phone rings, it's Benji. The sun is beginning to rise, so I need to get to the gym to do a l
Karalee's P.O.V.I can't believe Liam doesn't recognize me. I know we only officially met several hours ago, but he said he's been following me for months. Maybe he has some temporary amnesia. I push the call light for the nurse."I'm Karalee," I tell him as my tears fall. He narrows his eyes and shakes his head slightly."I don't recognize you," Liam replies. The nurse and doctor walk into the room."He's awake but doesn't remember who I am," I tell them, wiping the tears from my face."Let's take a look." The doctor asks him his birthdate, who the president is, and a few other questions."Do you know where you are?" The doctor asks."I'm in the hospital," Liam replies."What country are you in?" he asks."Australia. I came here to see a fight." I start to feel relieved until the next question."Who did you come here to see fight?" The doctor asks."Polly, she's my girlfriend." I gasp as I look at him in horror. How does he even know Polly, and why would he say she is his girlfriend?
Karalee's P.O.V."Please help. My boyfriend was hit with a metal pipe, and he's unconscious." I tell the nurse at the front desk. She looks over my shoulder to where Benji is carrying Liam through the door."Bring him straight to the back." She says, opening the door to the back. Benji carries him to the room she shows us and lays him on the bed. "I need you to leave.""I'm not going anywhere. Benji, you can go." I say as I stand next to Liam. Benji walks out and the nurse frowns at me."You said you're his girlfriend; only immediate family can be back here." I take Liam's hand as she calls for a doctor to come to the room."I'm the only family he has." She can say and do what she wants, but I'm not going anywhere. The nurse finally shrugs and starts checking over Liam as a doctor walks in. I explain what happened as they examine him. When they take him to do imaging of his head, they make me stay in the room.I can't sit down, so I pace. Why did I have to think about his clothes bein
Karalee's P.O.V.I glance at Liam lying on the ground and it takes everything in me not to go to him. First, I need to get out of this mess. Ten men, one woman. What are the chances this will go in my favor?"Let's shift, and I'll kick their asses. They won't know what hit them." Eva mindlinks me while she practices punches in my head. That would be the best option, but if I let anyone see I'm not human, it would ruin everything."You guys are so scared of me that you have to take me on ten to one? Wow, you're even weaker than he is." I tell them, pointing to the man who has already been a victim of my fist."We're not scared of you. We'll take you on one by one. Whoever can beat you gets to claim you as their prize." One man says, stepping forward. I shake my head."I didn't agree to that," I tell him."I wasn't asking. Now come on bitch, I have plans for you." The man walks toward me as I get into a stance. I know he said they would take me on one at a time, but I don't trust the ot
