Elders whispered, family members stared, and the room seemed to tilt around me. She really meant to leave me. "Impossible..." My phone slipped from my hand and struck the marble floor. The crack of the screen was sharp and final. "She loves me. She has always loved me. How could she..." Images flashed through my mind. Her cold voice when she told me to go to Angelina. Her body curled in bed from the pain. The way she looked at me in the park as I walked away. I thought she would always wait. She had waited nine times.

She held up her phone, showing him her best friend’s most recent message. [I’ve reached the new pack, Lily. Everything’s great here, so don’t worry about me.] “A new pack?” Leonard panicked, stumbling back. “That can’t be! She loves me too much to really leave me!” “In the past, maybe! That’s why she gave you 99 chances. But what did you do with them?” Lily’s words were like daggers flying into Leonard’s heart. “Three days after she miscarried, you made her drink on Judy’s behalf! When you chased her out of the car, you immediately turned to soothe Judy! You even made her wash your dirty clothes!”

But after carefully checking each room, she found nothing. Hayle furrowed her brow and looked around again. How strange! She remembered being captured by three thugs and losing consciousness. Then, suddenly, she woke up in a luxurious hotel room without any injuries or even a scratch. So why had the thugs brought her here? Hayle pondered, trying to analyze the situation. Why was it so strange? Hayle took a deep breath. She then smelled something different. Maybe because she was pregnant, her sense of smell had become very sensitive. She could smell a faint but pleasant fragrance. This scent? She had never smelled it before.

My headache was getting worse and worse as I struggled to recall what had happened. Slowly, fragments of what transpired the day before began to resurface in my mind. Immediately after Brix dumped me, and I saw him banging another woman, I went to a bar and drank, and to my surprise... When I realized what had happened between the stranger in bed and me, I was shocked and horrified. "I had sex with a complete stranger!" I disregarded the nagging voice in my head that appeared like it was saying something "What a fool! In bed with a naked man, why do you think you're naked?"

I believe he is fine, he's good, he's not hurting, maybe he just under control. Even in Undergrove, the report that Liam received was also negative.

Liam is even closer to Art than his cousins ​​on the father's side: Kin and Denver who are both Alphas in their respective packs. In the afternoon, Rana arrived in the packhouse from the plantation. She brought oranges again for Nalani in case she rushes into my room just to slap or pinch me. Rana really hopes that Nalani gets back in the pack, and that's what I want too.

"Why do I feel like I am being interrogated so early in the morning?" I pursed my lips before murmuring. "Sorry." He sighed. "Okay, first and foremost, I'm not going to say any details about me because you're a stranger and at the same time, I'm also a stranger to you." He said, a matter-of-factly. "Didn't your parents told you to not speak to strangers?' He said the word 'stranger' three times in that sentence. I didn't say anything. We just resume our walking while I was willowing myself in embarrassment. It made me realized that I had just disobeyed one of my mother's lectures.

I couldn't believe my eyes. I stood transfixed at that point staring at them, wide-eyed. I had only seen a naked woman once in my life and that was when I mistakenly barged into my mum's room. So basically the only naked woman I had seen was my mum. I was shivering as I stared at those strippers doing lots of dirty moves. I could hear people screaming 'Ella'. There was a particular stripper who was at the front so I deemed she was the Ella people were calling. She was very beautiful with a killer curvy shape. Her moves were salacious and lascivious.

"Why would I go with you? It's your fault." "It's your fault. You don't want to leave my mind. Aren't you tired yet? You've been running around in my head for months, Lily." "And you still really know me, right? Well sir, I still want to talk to you. But I am a very obedient child to my parents. They said, don't talk to strangers.
