Se connecterChapter 140GERALD22 years ago"I think I'm in love." Humphrey said to me, his eyes glazed over as he stared into space."With Helen?' I asked as I took a sip of my whiskey."Yes, and it's not just because she is my mate.""Then why?""Simple...she is perfect. I am going to make her my luna."I stared at the wolf that had become my best friend over the years after I had saved his life years ago, and he had saved mine, and smiled.I nodded, feeling weird. Yes, Helen was amazing, but they had known each other for a total of two weeks. That was hardly enough time to know anyone. It didn't help that she didn't even remember who she was.She could be anyone."You don't think it's a good idea." He suddenly said."What? I didn't say that.""You don't have to." He said, dropping his empty glass on the table. "I can read you like a book."I sighed. "I just think you should be careful, that's all.""I am investigating her, you know... I'm looking for family. Just to be safe."I didn't know tha
CHAPTER 139LILIANA'S POVI looked at Gerard; the hope that had built up within me on hearing there was a way to clear my name without bloodshed died instantly, like flames doused by water. "Are you sure you kept it there?" I asked, desperately praying he was mistaken and kept it somewhere else. Gerard's eyes were still worried. "No, I'm quite sure I kept it here. I saw it some days ago."I thought hard. I wasn't ready to let go of the little thread of. Hope that was in my grasp. "Who else has been in your study besides you?" I quizzed him. To some it might appear disrespectful to ask an alpha such questions, but I didn't care. He gave me an angry look. "What exactly are you implying? Are you trying to tell me to suspect someone close to me is a spy?" I shrugged. "What other explanation is there? You said you are sure you left it there, so definitely someone must have taken it... The question is, "Who?"Gerard sucked on his lower lip as he considered what I was saying. "It's just
CHAPTER 138LILIANA'S POVI wanted out. I have been cooped up in the hospital ward for days now, and I was over it. I was beginning to lose my mind, and I was tired of crying from the loss of my child, a child I wasn't even supposed to want.I never understood how mothers always got upset when they miscarried. I always thought they didn't know the child, so why did they care?I know now. It was like I lost a part of me.My chest tightened again. Gerald had been here a few times over the week.I kept pushing him away, but he wouldn't leave. He was like a stubborn roach.Today, he wasn't here, and I was starting to miss his company.As much as I never wanted him around due to grief, I also felt so alone today. He hadn't been here yesterday, and it was almost evening, and he wasn't here.Has something happened? The last time he had been here, he was distracted. I had reluctantly asked why he was here, and being moody, He had denied it and said he was okay, but I was his mate, and I cou
CHAPTER 137GERARD'S POVI kept switching my gaze from Liliana to Cassandra and then back to Liliana, holding my breath. Cassandra gave a nasty grin, and my heart stopped breathing, believing she was about to show that nasty side of herself she knows I hate so much. She simply sized Liliana up with her eyes and then twisted around to look at me. "I will be outside in case you need me... just come to check if..." Cassandra paused and looked at Liliana with a sly smile. "... She was okay."She patted Liliana's head before she could react, then walked out, swaying her hips as she did so. She left an awkward silence behind her. I searched my mind for something to say to Liliana, but I came up blank. "Did you see?" Liliana suddenly spoke up, beating me to it. I looked up at her, startled, my brain struggling to follow what she said.She pointed at the closed door and spoke, her voice filled with pain. "Her attitude. Does that person behave like she is innocent?" "Come on, Liliana. T
CHAPTER 136LILIANA'S POVI knew I needed to wake up, but my mind wasn't ready to. It jumped from one dream to another, blending all into one scene. Somewhere in between, I thought I heard Gerard's voice faintly close by... Or was it someone else? I wasn't quite sure. In the last dream I had, I wasn't running through the woods, occasionally looking back to make sure my pursuer, a gigantic black wolf, wasn't closing in on me. Trees broke as the wolf raced through the forest after me, its heavy body mass breaking down the trees as it rammed into them, not bothering to even dodge them. In the dream I kept running, thinking that if it caught me in the dream, that would be the end of me ever waking up. My legs ached from so much running, but I didn't dare pause or take a break. For some unknown reason, I couldn't shift, and I was almost as weak as an ordinary human. Wake up... I suddenly heard my voice scream from far above me. Frightened but without breaking my stride, my eyes fran
Chapter 135Gerald"It's been hours. Where the hell is the truck?" I demanded.Landen sighed. It was dark now, and although I was even more alert, I was starting to get antsy."It will arrive soon. Just chill. Trust me.""What if they sold her to someone else, huh?" I asked, my voice as low as it could possibly get."Trust me. They did not." I nodded. I felt like shit knowing all of this was mostly my fault.Twenty minutes later, and there was still nothing.I stood from where I crouched."Where are you going?"Landen whispered."To find Liliana." I growled and began to walk out of the woods.Just as I came out, I heard the sound of a truck coming toward me.I ran back to hide behind a tree.My eyes met with Landen, who was still clearly hiding behind the bushes."They are here." I mouthed to him.He raised two fingers up in the air, signaling for the rest of my men to stand by until he gave the orders.The sound of the truck became louder and louder, indicating it was getting close
Chapter 68GeraldI made my way to the front of the pack house, my heart beating against my chest wildly.The voice of my friend, Humphrey, was echoing in my head, judging me for kissing his daughter so passionately.My lips were still tingling. The sparks are still floating in my stomach.I wasn't
CHAPTER 67LilianaI had to laugh internally. Never did I ever think I would be in a position like this where I would be asking a man almost twice my age why he won't kiss me, but here I was doing just that.I should be ashamed of myself, but all I felt was desperation.I wanted answers, and most i
CHAPTER 65LILIANAIt was two days before my initiation/welcoming party, and I still wasn't sure how I felt about it.The house was buzzing with activities, and Sel was mostly heading the activity. She was so excited that I was starting to think the party itself didn't matter to her as much as the
CHAPTER 56LILIANAThe feel of his skin against mine was searing hot and felt so right.His hand around my neck, instead of scaring me, felt like foreplay. The pressure sent jolts of delicious spark down my spine to intimate parts of my body.His elbows grazed my nipples, and I wondered for a second
