All Chapters of Alpha Liam's Chosen Mate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

AMY'S POV I used to consider myself a fairly good person. I mean, it was not like I had the time to sit around and think about the evil in the world. The one that preoccupied mine was enough, but still I used to think that I was going to turn away the moment I clocked that I was enabling evil, but here I was, smiling up at a man who just told me in clear, plain terms that he was not a good man. Yet, I smiled at him like it was him that hung the moon. From the first time I met Liam, I had known he was not a good man, and deep down, I was okay with it. I got used to the idea that I had a little bit of darkness in me. He stuck by me and convinced me that the world wasn't so black and white. It was okay for the world to be a little gray, and I had seen it. When he told me what he had done to let me win, I was skeptical, but I was quickly reminded of the alternative, which was to live without him. Sure, it wouldn't be so easy to separate us, but what if during the fight, he realized th

LIAM'S POV "Why won't you tell me what's wrong?" Amy asked for the nth time when I got home. I haven't given her any indication that there was something wrong, but she just knew because we were tuned into each other like that. Her wolf had become more aware and stronger. While I was proud of her, I could do without it in times like this. "Baby, I'm telling you, there's nothing wrong. At least, not yet." I say. My phone buzzes with a text that's probably from Reid about Lena and Mavin, which even I have to admit was a good name. It had to be the only thing she got right in her life, by the way. I ignore the buzzing phone because I'm not ready to acknowledge that there might even be something wrong to Amy. "Why aren't you checking your phone? It seems to be urgent." She said. "It's probably nothing important from one of my secretaries." I knew instantly that it was the wrong thing to say, and she caught on instantly. "None of your secretaries will text you after work if it isn't

LIAM'S POV I didn't know how I thought Amy would handle this, but one thing I knew for sure was that she was handling it better than I imagined. She only asked for some time to think about it, which meant for the duration of that waiting period, we didn't talk about it, which was more than okay with me. I was not interested in talking about it either. I couldn't stop thinking about the question Reid had asked me, about what I would do if Mavin does turn out to be mine. I know it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if that quiet, dignified boy was, except I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Lena showing up than her bringing to me the son she didn't tell me she had. With her reputation, it was hard to believe that she hid him from me for very noble reasons. Her excuse that she didn't want her son to be without a father figure wasn't going to fly with me at all. On the day I decided I was going to come clean to my wife about what was really going on, I drove

LIAM'S POV "There's new information." Reid said to me the second day after I was absolutely sure that Mavin was mine. "Talk to me." "In her report, it said she had or has a drug problem." "Yeah." "It isn't true." He sighed and sat down. "I dug deeper and found a boyfriend of hers. It seems serious between them. Anyway, he's the one with a drug problem, so she picked up gambling to help him pay. Anyway, he dumped her a few weeks ago and ran off with her last win." "I knew she had intentions. Well, that makes it easier then. We know she needs money." But not quite long after, I received a call from my lawyer stating she's refusing any amount I'm offering to her. "What do you mean she's refusing?" I ask in confusion at the news I just heard. I decided I would wait for about a week before telling Lena about the result, but after three days, I realized that prolonging it was only going to drag things out longer than they should be. So, I got in contact with my lawyer and had hi

LIAM'S POV It wasn't long before Amy, Mavin and I fell into a routine. A week after he started to live with us, I took him to the court, and I had every name on his document changed legally. I also included myself as his biological father. Unsurprisingly, there weren't many documents to change, which only made it easier. Reid, however, was tasked with erasing any of the digital footprint, however little he had while he was with his mother. As of now, there is no record of his life before Mavin Arlington. I wanted to make sure there was no issue about his familial ties in the future. After we sorted it all out in court, we went to the council, where he also got recognized and put in the family tree as my son. I pulled a lot of strings to make sure that this information was hidden in plain sight. Indirectly, I had sealed his fate to become the next Alpha after me, but I didn't want to put him in harm's way, hence the name blocking. So he became Mavin Arlington both in the human w
