The next day, Liam strolled around the building, looking for something suspicious. He got in contact with the Ghost team that was watching Anita since day one. Liam went to the gym that he frequented in the past few days and spotted a few guys working out. He walked into the locker room and encountered the member of the Ghost team, Ian.“I’ve acquired the information you wanted,” Ian said, handing a brown envelope to Liam. “One month ago, there was an increase in murder cases in the town. Although the victims seemed random, the killer shared similarity.” Liam opened the envelope and looked through the file and photos inside. Then, his hand stopped at one photo. A picture of a man shifted into a grey wolf. Liam recognized the man because he was once part of Cohen’s pack. He was banished from the pack after he was found g

Liam’s hands clenched on the steering wheel after those words left Anita’s mouth. He never expected Jazmine to be in a certain predicament where she was constantly monitored and protected by others. For five years, Liam thought he would be the one to cause inconvenience in her life, and little did he know, he wasn’t part of that. He realized his mistakes. He shouldn’t have left Jazmine at that time.“I don’t know the full story because she never mentioned all the details to me,” Anita added as she pulled out a blanket and covered Jazmine with it. “What I know is her uncle passed away when she was seventeen. Jazmine didn’t tell me the details, but it seemed her uncle’s death wasn’t natural. The cops would come to see her from time to time when she was in school until her first year in college. I even thought about hiring a private investigato

Jazmine watched Liam from time to time after dinner last night. He kept checking his phone as if he was expecting a call or text from someone. He was awfully distracted. Jazmine didn’t know what could be the reasons for his distraction. It was too much to think about. Could it be about the waitress that Liam talked to?But if she thought about it carefully, Liam mentioned he kissed her to gain her attention. Why would he pay attention to another woman after confessing things like that? He noticed everything about her at Anita’s eighteenth birthday party. All those five years, she thought Liam didn’t even look at her.Jazmine gasped when she remembered Liam had kissed her twice. Her cheeks felt hot out of a sudden as if she was burning alive.“If you continue to stare at him like that, you mig

She could only blink her eyes and stared into his green eyes. Now that she saw him this close, she finally realized the beauty of his eye color. It reminded her of the evergreen forest. Liam’s eyes were so rich in green, and she couldn’t stop looking into them. Anita’s eyes weren’t as green as his.Jazmine reached to touch the scruff on his jaw. This was why she knew that she had a thing for an older man. Liam had exceeded everything she could expect from a man. His chiseled jaw sculptured perfectly, and with the scruff, he looked hotter. She traced her fingers on his face as if she wanted to map out the structure of his face. Her eyes briefly looked at his lips, the most tempting feature of his. Jazmine wondered what it felt like to have his lips against hers again.Looked at her, a moment ago, she was about to murder him for pulling he

“I’m sorry. We can’t be together.”Those words left his mouth. She wanted to scream at him. He turned his back on her and walked away. She stayed rooted on the ground, watching another woman walk by his side. They were smiling and laughing. It could have been her walking by his side. But he didn’t want her anymore. Jazmine gasped as she woke up from her sleep. Something was pressed against her back, and she couldn’t see anything. Everything was dark.“Don’t move too much. You’d fall,” a deep voice said from behind.She could feel the person’s breath against her neck. Jazmine’s heart thumped against her chest when she felt the familiar feeling once again. A pair of strong arms wrapped around her
