The Forgotten Mate12 : His Like Terms. Bloom's pov. I knew Liam gained pleasure in continually reminding me of what I , Since when I arrived at his pack, But what he had just said hurt deeper than whatsoever insults he had rained on me before." What !!! Why do you look so shocked????" Alpha Liam scoffed." It's nothing…." I looked away." How weak !!! I see how you let yourself be picked on and constantly bullied by your packmates and then you say you can prove yourself, There is nothing to prove!!!" Liam spat and I looked at Austin's direction. He was still deeply asleep.I wondered how deep he slept that he couldn't hear what had happened but I was happy he didn't witness how pathetic my life was." I'm not…." I whispered,I couldn't speak up or even try to say anything in a high tone because Liam could leave me alone here with these beasts as my punishment and nothing would be done. After all, I was an orphan with a family lineage that hated to see me alive." What did you just s

The Forgotten Mate 14. Austin and Leah watched from behind as Liam carried bloom to the chariot, Leah stood clenching her fist, Austin was rather to shock or stunned to speak,He knew Liam didn't like touching bloom or any other slave, Carrying her like that was quite shocking. " Are you still certain history won't repeat itself????" Leah frowned." I am certain" Austin replied. Bloom's pov. Liam's claim on me was quite authoritative,He would casually say I was his property and he could control me the way he pleased,I didn't like to be called a property and I would normally complain or react but right now I was too grateful to say a word. I sat in the chariot, my injured leg throbbing with pain, when I noticed Austin stepping inside. His gaze immediately fell upon my injured limb, concern etched across his face. He took a seat beside me, his eyes filled with genuine care."Bloom, are you alright?" Austin's voice held a hint of worry as he addressed me.I mustered a smile, grateful

The Forgotten Mate 16. The First Mate. As I returned to my quarters, my heart still fluttering with the memory of the unexpected laughter shared with Alpha Liam, I found solace in the presence of my dear friend, Ana. With weary steps, I made my way towards her, the weight of recent events etched upon my face.Ana looked up from her task, concern etching lines upon her forehead. "Bloom, what happened?" she asked, her voice filled with worry.A mixture of relief and sadness washed over me as I sat down beside her. "Ana, you won't believe what just transpired," I began, my voice laden with a sense of disbelief. "Alpha Liam invited me to share a meal with him, and we actually laughed together."Ana's eyes widened, a mixture of surprise and caution flashing in her gaze. "That's...unexpected," she replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "But, Bloom, be careful. The Alpha's intentions can be fickle. We know what Leah is capable of."A heaviness settled upon my heart as the memory of L

The Forgotten Mate 18. Austin was done tolerating Liam's ill attitude towards bloom,He was done letting him control and toy with her not minding she was an expecting mother." Austin!!!!! The fact that I made the second in command in my pack doesn't mean you should try and disobey my own orders!!!" Liam said, Austin ran his hands through his hair because he was frustrated and Liam's actions kept pissing him off." Really!!! Liam don't you have compassion on the poor girl!!! She was brought to this pack without knowledge of anyone here, She accepted that fate and decided to carry on with her duties but you…You chose to be a bone stuck in her throat,Why do you gain pleasure seeing such sweet soul suffer" Austin said. He knew he didn't dare to shout or yell at Liam but now he didn't care anymore,He was going to tell Austin how he felt in plain even though Liam doesn't seem to want to listen to him regarding the issue with Bloom." Are you done ????" Liam raised his eyebrow in annoyance

Leah stormed into the room where her brother, Austin, sat immersed in his thoughts. Her face twisted with a mixture of excitement and malice as she prepared to share the scandalous gossip she had heard."Austin, you won't believe what I've just learned," she exclaimed, her voice filled with a triumphant edge.Austin looked up from his reverie, his brow furrowed in curiosity. "What is it, Leah? What has gotten you so worked up?"Leah took a seat across from Austin, a devious smirk playing on her lips. "It's about Liam and that wretched slave, Bloom."Austin's eyes narrowed, suspicion evident in his gaze. "What about them?"Leah leaned in closer, her voice dripping with false innocence. "Rumor has it that they've been having a secret affair, Austin. Can you believe it? The mighty Alpha Liam succumbing to the charms of a mere slave."Austin's expression hardened, his eyes narrowing further. "Leah, don't tell me you actually believe such baseless gossip."Leah scoffed, tossing her head ba
