MasukHannah's POV Boom!I shove with all my strength. Thud!Liam lands on the ground with force. And silence. Yes, I'm having none of his forceful penetration any more. I'm so done. So fucking done.Now once I pushed him, I knew what was coming next. Liam charges to his feet and lunges. Like a crazy maniac. But I was prepared. I was prepared a long time ago. So I dodge. And with the force he is attacking me with, he slides forward. His palms intended for my face land heavily on the bed. It leaves a dent that lasts a few seconds before the spot on the mattress rises again. Liam is fuming as he rises.“You dodged it,” he growl, his eyes dark. Dark with evil. Like the devil. I clench both my teeth and fist. “It's enough, Liam. I've had enough. I'm not letting you hurt me again.”Yes, I will fight for myself. I will protect myself. Even if it means fighting back, breaking rules and worse, being called names. My words spark something in Liam. Something dangerous. His eyes glow.
Hannah's POV Oh dear Goddess, I am such a fool.I am such a fool for deceiving Nathan. I should have told him everything. I feel so bad for Brenda and I feel even worse that I can't tell Nathan who can help her because I'm trying to protect Nathan. I don't want him having any issues with Cathylene anymore. I pace restlessly in Olivia's room. “What if my hesitation causes Brenda to die?”“What if Cathylene was lying when she said she'd bring her personal doctor to take care of her?”“Oh goddess, please tell me what to do,” I groan helplessly, slumping into the armchair which I use to help Olivia with her assignments sometimes. “Mama.” Olivia stirs in the bed. She's wide awake. Did my restless pacing wake her up?“Sweetie, how long have you been awake? Did mama disturb your sweet sleep?” I try to rock her back to sleep. Her eyelids still feel heavy with sleep. Soon, she falls asleep.I lay her back in bed and considers leaving the room to the living room to allow her to sleep
Nathan's POV It's very suspicious that no one in this whole house has any idea where Brenda could be. No one.I was at Long Street when I got the impact. Although I was standing, I had to use a lot of my strength to keep myself from falling to the ground. It was as though I had been hit.But no, I wasn't.Which only means one thing… Something has happened. To either Brenda or Hannah. The two wolves I'm connected to: one by mate bond and the other by heart. I glance at the new message in my phone, glance around the busy Long Street before I turn and head back to my car. It was a prank message… the message that brought me to this street. Again. I leave there and drive straight back to the Durk mansion. The prance of my wolf increases as I get closer to the house. I didn't park in the general garage but behind the quarters. I'm driving a different car now. Liam seized my car and would only return it if he wins Jaxon in the election in fulfillment of our deal.Before I step out
Liam's POVHannah is challenging me now.My own mate is fucking challenging me now!I chug down another large gulp of the drink from the bottle of wine I'd just furiously grabbed the moment I stormed inside. My insides are boiling. My chest pants as my grip around the bottle neck tightens. My teeth lock. So hard I feel it gnash like it would break inside my jaw. God, she now threatens me.Hannah now fucking threatens me!And even now she's sleeping in the room of that daughter of hers, instead of attending to me as her legal husband and mate. I swear by the goddess, next time when I have her bent over, I swear to claim her again. I swear to dig my fangs in her neck until my territory is imprinted upon her soft skin.Oh I will so fuck her until she confesses I am her one and only mate. Until that smooth, slender body of hers quakes, and her legs curl so tight that she can't walk anymore. Until I mark not just her neck but her fucking little cunt. She will belong to me and no one el
Hannah's POV Cathylene asking me to stay back is never a good omen. I can feel it in my veins.As the door shut after Liam, she walks to the window, stands behind it and folds her hand across her chest.“Join me,” she says. I drag my legs to the window, different thoughts swirling inside my head. What is she going to ask me to do?Something too dangerous for her darling son to hear and partake in? “Do you know the reason I chose you as the Omega of the Pack?” Her voice breaks the silence of the room.I hadn't thought about it. My head is blank. Empty. “It isn't just to clean the pack house. There are other reasons.” She paused, her gaze flickering towards me. “Why did Liam react that way? I know my son. He'd never react that way without a reason. What did Brenda do to provoke him?”Sweat break out in my palm. The air in the study becomes very chilly. So chilly that even with the way my insides were feeling hot, I still feel this penetrating coldness I can't explain. “I—” I tr
Hannah's POV “Mama! See Uncle!” Olivia squeals, pointing at Nathan's car as he drives into the garage. A moment later, the driver door of the car opens and instead of Nathan, Liam steps down.My wolf stirs. I feel my legs squeeze tight, as if signalling my body of danger. “Breathe, Hannah.” I force myself to take a breath. Getting full blown anxiety is gradually becoming a norm. This is what Liam's presence now brings me.Nothing but anxiety. I worry about what he will do next. How sore and terribly drained he'd leave me. The cold emotions and spitefulness in his eyes as he drives into me. My throat feels bitter as I think about it so I force myself to stop. I blink back my tears before I smile at Olivia. “You want to go say hi to Daddy?” I reach to take her hand but Olivia pulls back. Olivia's face has drastically gone pale.“What is wrong, sweetie?” She is facing the ground, her fingers gripping me. She's refusing to look at me. I go on my knees immediately, panic risi
~Nathan~ I look up from my plate–towards my foster mother. “I don't remember anything. My brain holds no memory of that place.” But it's a lie. I remember everything. In fact, one of the punishments of making it out of Grimswood forest alive is the painful vivid remembrance of all that happened t
~Hannah~“I'll do the shopping,” I offer, to the relief of the maids. But of course Sylvia the bị́xch saw it as a chance to stare suspiciously at me. Not like I care about what's going on in her damn head. I just wanted to get away from the house. Today is Saturday and I'm bound to run into Nathan
~Hannah~Fight this, Hannah. You can do this.Fuvk it! Sorry, I can't.I arch forward, cup his face and kiss him. Only after I have pulled away do I realize myself. My heart pounds so hard like it would rip from my chest. “Don't say anything, please. Just try to get some sleep,” I stop him before
~Hannah~“The pancakes are burning!”I hear someone yell. “Oh shị́t! No!” I grab the dry rag on the kitchen counter and bring the frying pan to the ground. Everything inside is completely burnt. Sylvia looks from the burnt pancakes to me. “How could you not have smelt this…” she gives me a suspic
