Book 2 Chapter 18 Liam’s POV I barely had time to process what was happening before my head started spinning and everything became double. I wanted to support my hand on the wall but I felt Liam's hand grabbing my hand and squeezing it with a silent plea to stay calm. His face is taut, his eyes flickering with a warning that makes my heart pound harder. Before I can ask what’s going on, I spot Mendy and Jax, striding over with smug smiles with a step of entitlement that makes my skin crawl. Mendy is all sultry confidence, her gaze trailing over me with a look that’s more disdainful than friendly. And Jax… he doesn’t even bother hiding the way he’s watching me, his eyes lingering on me like I’m some piece of meat he can’t wait to sink his teeth into. That alone makes me feel weak. “Chloe,” Mendy purrs, a mocking sweetness in her voice as she gives me a look up and down. “Lovely to see you.” The way she says it, the way her mouth curls up at the edges, makes it clear that she’s

Book 2 Chapter 20 Liam’s POVI watch Chloe’s face, the way she struggles to hide the hurt, she’s shaken up, even if she won’t admit it, and it’s all because of Jax. The way she looks at me tells me that she’s furious with me, but there’s something else in her expression too. Fear? Maybe. Distrust? Probably. And I can’t blame her for it.“What was that all about?” I ask, forcing my voice to stay calm, even though the sight of Jax so close to her just moments ago makes my blood boil.She hesitates, crossing her arms tightly across her chest. “I don’t know. But this is all your fault,” she says finally, voice steely. “If you’d told me about Mendy and Jax sooner, maybe I’d be prepared. But instead, you chose to keep me in the dark.”“I was trying to protect you,” I take a step closer, hoping she’ll see how much I regret the decision. “I thought…..”“It’s okay!” She cuts me off with a sharp look, her eyes blazing. “Don’t, Liam. Just… don’t. Go away. I don’t want to hear your excuses righ

Liam’s POV The clock on my phone ticks closer to the start time, and I’m scanning the room, glancing at the door every few seconds, wondering where Chloe is. My instincts are buzzing, a nagging feeling at the back of my mind telling me that she should have been here by now. I pull out my phone, and quickly type a message; I’m inside the meeting. Let me know where you are.I hit send, but I don’t wait long. As soon as the notification shows it’s delivered, I slide the phone back into my pocket and make my way to the head of the room, taking my seat as the current chairman. A small nod from the council elder signals that it’s time to start, and I shift my focus, forcing myself to stay present.Every year, this gathering is supposed to bring the packs together, to find solutions, to unite us in strength and stability. But today, with the ever-present threat from Jax and Mendy hovering in the background, it feels more like we’re preparing for battle.The elders begin their usual review,

Liam’s POVThe minutes dragged on. Each second that ticked by felt like an eternity as I paced back and forth in the hallway, my hands running through my hair in frustration. I couldn’t shake the image of Chloe, standing there the raw pain in her eyes. She’d been through enough already. The last thing I wanted was for her to suffer more.Soon the security guard finally arrived with the key, I practically snatched it from his hand. “You took your sweet time,” I snapped, irritation boiling over. He flinched but didn’t respond, probably knowing better than to argue. Without a second thought, I shoved the door open, my heart pounding.The sight that greeted me was worse than I expected. Chloe was sitting on the floor, curled up with her knees to her chest, tears streaking down her face. My breath caught in my throat at the sight of her broken, vulnerable, so far from the woman I’d known to be strong and unshakable. My instincts screamed at meI walked toward her, dropped to my knees besi

Chloe’s POVThe moment the door closed behind me as I left Lucy’s house to make a call outside, I felt a strange mix of guilt and determination settling deep in my chest. It was as if the weight of the past few days had finally caught up with me, and now I had no choice but to face the consequences. I had been so consumed by my fear and anxiety that I hadn’t stopped to think about how it was affecting everyone around me. The paranoia, the constant worrying—it had to stop.I hadn’t even realized how weak I had become in the face of it all. The encounter with Jax and Mendy had been a breaking point for me, but now, in the quiet of the moment, I could see how beneath me it all was. I had allowed them to provoke me, to make me feel small and helpless. The way Jax had smirked at me, the way Mendy had taunted me with her threats, had eaten away at my confidence. I had let it happen.I couldn’t keep doing this. I couldn’t keep letting them control me with their words and their threats. No mo
