Semua Bab Alpha Liam's Chosen Mate: Bab 31 - Bab 40

AMY'S POV I clock the exact moment his smile dropped. Maybe I was pushing too hard. Maybe I was thinking too much. Overthinking had always been a strong suit of mine. "What are you talking about?" "Well, you know, I had to confirm. With the casino gambling and packs trying to ruin each other." "I still don't see your point." His tone was off. He had never spoken to me like this. Not in this strange manner. I guess there was always a first time for everything. "The way it was in the movies," I pressed on, refusing to let it go. "If..." He burst into laughter. "You learned how to recognize a shady person from the movies?" I was more than relieved that he had found something funny in this. "Don't laugh at me, okay?" I pouted. He sobered up and pulled me to him. "I'm sorry, okay? I'm not laughing anymore." "You know what I'm saying is possible, right?" "Of course." "So, you believe me?" "Yes." "Good. Are you?" "Involved in shady dealings?" A strange look flitted across h

AMY'S POV "I promise, you have nothing to be scared of. Dr. Rayna is the best healer in Crystalline. Not only a healer, Dr. Rayna was the top of the class in medical school." "I know you wouldn't settle for less than the best." It was true. Liam would never choose something if it wasn't the best. "I'm glad you know that. So, you'll do it?" We had returned to Crystalline yesterday, and he had already scheduled my surgery for yesterday, but I convinced him that he didn't need to do that. I wanted him to move it to the next week, but he wasn't having it. "You're only going to be delaying the inevitable." Was his only response. "I just feel like it's unnecessary. I can see quite well now." Except for the sudden dizziness that would occur if I looked at the same spot for too long or the occasional blurriness, I was fine. I hid it well from him, or else he would have dragged me to the operating room. "You're fooling no one, baby. I know you sometimes still have spells." Damn his su

LIAM'S POV "I want to see my friend." She had whispered, and my reaction had been immediate. My body froze, and I pretended to be asleep. I heard her the night before I pretended to be asleep. It was ironic, really, me being scared of a five-foot-one woman. Not that I was scared of what she would do to me. Amy was fucking harmless, but I was scared that she would somehow get it in her head to leave me again if she saw her friend. I could easily arrange for her to see her friend again if she wanted because I had her old phone with me. But I didn't want to. This morning, I had left her in bed, something that I was still regretting. There was nothing more that I loved in the morning than seeing the slight smile on her face when she realized that I'm still in bed with her. The feeling that I was responsible for that smile was enough to make my day. Instead, I left her in bed and wrote a note to explain that I was called in. The chances that she would ask me about her friend again wer

LIAM'S POV I regretted the second the words left my mouth, and I wished I could take them back instantly, but the damage had been done already. The look on her face was one I couldn't describe. It was everything and nothing at the same time. "What did you just say?" "Look, forget it. I'm sorry for keeping it from you." "No, I need you to repeat what you just told me." "No, Amy." I wasn't going to make myself vulnerable again. "I'm not going to repeat myself." "Liam, you honestly think I'm going to leave you for Maddy, my friend?" She sounded confused as fuck. When she put it like that, it sounded illogical as fuck. "No," I huffed, "that's not it at all. I'm sorry, okay?" "But I need to understand what's going on so I can forgive you." "I don't know, okay?" I groan and drop on the bed. Great, now she probably thinks I'm mad. The bed dips beside me, and I feel her presence beside me. "Liam, I need you to tell me what's going on." "It's just stupid." "Didn't you witness all

LIAM'S POV "So, you've eventually allowed her?" "Not exactly, she found out I was keeping it from her." "See? You should have told her beforehand. I guess you're now sleeping in the guest room." "My wife isn't unreasonable." "Hmm... I think..." "Why don't you give me a full report about the Alphas I asked you to look into?" "But it's so much fun to gossip about your marriage instead." "You're worse than an old woman." Reid had been on my case since I stepped out of my car. I hadn't even gotten my coat off before he started hounding me for information. "So, just tell me so I can get off your case." Knowing his stubborn ass wasn't going to drop it, I gave him the rundown of what went down last night. "She's so smart." He grumbled after I finished. I couldn't believe the first thing I was doing at work was talking about my marriage. He was a bad influence on me. "I can't believe she chose to stay with you, Alpha." "Shut up. You're one to talk. You're not even married yet."
