Chapter 29 Little Things
– Liam
I woke up with a weight on my
chest. The tingling sensations that washed over me told me who it was. I was on
a dopamine high, and so was Luca. Ever since I almost gave in to Salina’s 2
seduction, something I want to beat myself up to until today, and after the
exhausting run, I put him through, he took advantage of my lowered guard and
took over. I didn’t have the strength to stop him, and at that point, I didn’t
care for what he intended to do. Turned out, he just wanted tofort our
mate. He had been keeping quiet since.
It was for the best.
If it wasn’t for him warning me that something wasn’t
.O REDMI NO Tight, I wouldn’t have left the office to
AI QUAD CA
search for her. What was she doing
Search for her. What was she doing
out there anyway! I shook my head – that was the wrong question. She should be
safe everywhere she goes within the pack’s territory.
It was my fault. I took it back. Carson voted against it
because he was worried for her safety, just in case she somehow got herself in
trouble. Lexy voted against it because she was worried that Anna might try to run
away. They were just worried that something might happen to her and neither
wanted her to do anything that’d hurt herself.
But I couldn’t bring it to myself to have m y men guard her
at all times without her knowledge. It was an invasion of her privacy, and
after she learned about my engagement the first day she was here, I felt like I
at least owed it to her – to give Anna her OO REDMI NOTEedsm, adhere to her conditions
O AI QUAD CAMERA
freedom, adhere to her conditions
strictly.
It didn’t ur to me that she would grant me permission
to break the first condition, to let me hold her in my arms.
I ran my hand down her hair. Thank you … for letting me
1. in.
I let her down this time, but next time she calls for me,
I would be there. I’d keep her safe, at the cost of my life.
The rogue’s invasion was an urgent matter. Gale had been
reporting the progress of the investigation while Lexy nagged me until she got
tired and slept, both via a mind-link. She was letting out her frustration and
guilt on me for not answering Anna’s calls, and I was sureter today she’d
mumble an apology. As for Gale, he better OO REDMI NOTE 198 no stone unturned
AI QUAD CAMERA
mble an apology. As for Gale, he better leave no stone unturned.
Of all the pack warriors, it had to be Rigel. My mate
easily drew attention to herself and she doesn’t even know it. She was either
innocent or apathetic. Her best friend may be decent, but Rigel… the
word didn’t exist in his dictionary.
I kept the pack channel open just in case something came
up, any small matter that could easily be overlooked. Listening to different
voices in my head, filtering and analyzing every message that was sent, it’a
divide my attention and drain my mental energy, but for my Anna, it was a small
thing.
If the rogue was sent by the one person o n my mind, I swear
.O REDMI NOTéo better start praying. I wasn’t losing
AI QUAD CAMEPone anymore. I wouldn’t let him
anyone anymore. I wouldn’t let him
take another from me. As always, there was no proof that it was his doing. But
someday, he’d get what he deserved and more.
A murmur reached my ears. Cracking an eye open, I looked
down to see Anna blinking her eyes open. Then she yawned. Her arms went to my
sides, hugging me as she rested her head back down on my chest. “Good morning,”
she whispered, still half-asleep.
“Good morning… mate.” She was so adorable. And innocent.
If it wasn’t for her ankle, I’d have already turned us over. Her scent was
driving me insane that my canines were itching, and I just woke up for fuck’s
sake!
I shook my head – these thoughts need t o be stored in the
DMI NOTE back of my mind for now. I had to AI QUAD CAMER?Oritize her safety… and the party we
had
oritize her safety… and the party we had
to organize. If she’d have me – I know she would, but the doubt was still there
for some reason. I’d be honored to introduce her to the pack as my Luna. Let
be known across the werewolfmunity that Anna Be Fiora was mine and Liam
Rose was hers. Soon… she’d be more than Anna Be Fiora.
“What are you thinking about?” she asked, interrupting my
thoughts.
“Nothing,” I replied.
She was still using me as a pillow. Not that I mind, I
would dly be her pillow, herforter, her mattress. Fuck, anything that
REDMI NOTEUS make herfortable. Except that, AI QUAD CAME painfully hard down there and
JU, Tsaid. wny would I want to forget seeing my
girl…
Pompf!
A pillow came down on my face. I keptughing as she
assaulted me with it. I raised a hand to cover my head, but my girl was
me, she couldn’t move her leg. Else, she might’ve suffocated me instead – who
knew what she might do! She brought the pillow down onest time and left it
there.
So adorable. I couldn’t help butugh. This was what I
wanted – moments like this where it was just the two of us and she was being
adorable. It felt good. It felt right. I felt alive.
REDM NO?Des’t be mad, babe,” I said, taking the AI QUAD CAME
pillow off. “It
won’t be thest –
I stopped when I saw her. She had her small back to me.
She was leaning forward with both her legs straight. I sat up and ced a hand
on her shoulder to get her to turn around and face me, but her face was covered
with both of her hands, her long hair falling to the sides of her face. “Anna?”
I asked, my mind working equations as to what just happened.
Was it something I said? Which one? What did I say?
“You saw… everything, didn’t you?” she asked in a hushed
tone.
“It wasn’t exactly hidden from sight,”I said, scratching
my head. Was it that?
“You saw the scars.”
00 REDMI NOTeosild feel her heart break the moment CO AI QUAD CAMESaid those
words. I didn’t want to talk to her about i t. I saw those scars the first time
Iid eyes on her trembling body. It sent my blood boiling in anger amidst the
excitement that I finally found my mate. I t was a very personal matter, and we
were both, just as she said, “basically strangers.” So, all this time, Lexy and
I kept it to ourselves and we had never spoken a word about it.
We weren’t at a level yet where I could ask her about it.
I knew I should’ve done more on that fucking Flynn! Fuck!
He touched my girl, and she didn’t give a flying fuck!

“Shut the fuck up,” said Luca, snarling.
“Now you show up.”
“Cause you won’t shut up when mate needs you,” he said.
REDMI NO Sigised. He was right. Damn it! That
fucking Flynn ruined

everything, even the memory of our first meeting
“Anna,” I said, sliding down the bed to be beside her. I
pulled her hands gently away from her face, tipped her chin up so she’d look at
1. me. “Anna…”
I cupped her beautiful face with both hands, swiping my thumb
over her trembling lips. Her honey brown orbs stared at me; fear etched deep
within them. I kissed her. I kept still, relishing the feel of her soft lips
against mine. “I don’t give a fuck about your scars.”
“But – ?
No buts. I hushed her with my mouth before I could
hear her belittle herself. My tongue danced with hers and as always, I gained
dominance. I explored her mouth REDMI NO hungrily as her fingers tugged on my AI QUAD CAMERA
hair. So
hair. So
sweet…
“Good mor!
“Oh.”
Someone interrupted. They interrupted. She broke away, and
we both looked towards the door. Lexy stood there holding a tray on both hands,
a wide grin on her face. Gale was already turning on his heels to walk away. He
had more sense in him to know when his presence wasn’t weed, unlike my sis
who happily went to us.
She was doing this on purpose. “Sorry to interrupt but
you’re needed,” Lexy said, pointing at m e. “Gale has to talk to you.”
“No, he doesn’t!” Gale yelled. “Take your time, Alpha!” 5
Toote for that now, isn’t it?

lips. “Don’t go anywhere.” I got off the bed, giving Lexy a ring side nce,
and went out of the room, closing the doors behind me. She better let me
have this chance.
Gale was already at the top of the stairs.“ What is so
important that it can’t wait forter, Gale?” I asked as I calmly made my way
over to him.
“Salina was looking for you since this morning,” he said.
Is he fucking serious right now?
He flinched and took two steps down.” And?” I asked,
taking a step closer.
“Her father’sing today.”
