Chapter 50


    Chapter 50 Once More


    -Liam


    Three days. I couldn’t feel her presence for three days. The door locked; the curtains drawn; I kept


    myself isted in her room. The only time I left was to retrieve the cake. It was fucking delicious.


    I hadn’t eaten cake for as long as I could remember. I’d never been a fan of sweets. But if it was from


    her, I couldn’t resist. She made it just… for me.


    It could’ve been a fun night. I nned to watch a movie with her. The popcorn was ready to go into the


    microwave.


    My mind kept going back to what could’ve happened. She should be beside me right now, peacefully


    asleep in my embrace. Now, it was just an empty space with a piece of paper lying on top of the


    sheets. Iid on my side as I hugged her pillow to my chest. It wasn’t enough.


    I missed her warmth. I missed her smile. I missed her fingers on my face when she wakes up and


    thinks I was still sleeping. I missed her scent – it was gone now. Only her pillow had it. faintly. Despite


    my


    musseaner scene was gone TOW.UNTY


    pillow had it, faintly. Despite my efforts to keep it contained in the room, it still went away. I missed her


    and everything about her.

    I don’t know how to start. There’s a lot o n my mind I wish I can tell you. I don’t know when I fell for you


    and how. I simply know now that I do.


    I love you, Liam. I can say that now. I used to be afraid to tell you.


    I’m not mad, Liam. You are not at fault for following your heart.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    I’m sorry I didn’t see it sooner. And I’m sorry I can’t keep my promise.


    You deserve to be happy. I can now see that your heart yearns for her, not me.


    I’m sorry for being selfish. I have already said the words. I hope it will at least suffice.


    Anna] 2


    It was my fault. I should’ve told her everything I felt for her. Now it was toote. Even if I spoke the


    words, she


    Ke Even if I spoke the words, she wouldn’t hear me. I cliose to ignore her feelings; how could I have


    expected her to understand me


    I had no energy left in me. Everything felt heavy. Nothing mattered but her…


    I tried to call her, but the familiar ringtone of our voices echoed in the room instead. Every once in a


    while, I’d tap on the call button just to hear her voice. She sounded happy then.


    ept? Was this what she wanted? To leave everything behind and start again? To forget about me…


    You cruel woman. 2


    My phone rang. The screen lit up showing a picture of her sleeping. I used t o watch her for hours on


    end. I couldn’t believe someone like her loved someone like me. I fucking won the lottery and I lost it


    all… because I was a jerk of a bastard.


    She was back at the White Lake Pack. Carson would protect her. As for that bastard, I wasn’t feeling


    anything yet, so i I was safe to conclude he didn’t touch my woman. The mark must be keeping him


    man. The mark must be keeping him away. At least, she was around Carson.


    I inhaled the sweet scent that remained i n her pillow. How could she stay around him? She must be


    terrified to be near him.


    I won’t ept. You are mine now. I’m yours…


    What did she expect of me? To ept her rejection and free myself from her? Never! I wanted to be


    caged with her. Tied down with her for the rest of my life. Share her pains and joys and sorrows. My life


    was nothing without her. So why would I break away from the very reason I was still breathing at this


    very second. 1


    The morning she left I felt her pain. Something felt wrong. Luca urged me to g o to her. I couldn’t. She


    left.


    When I went to her room, she had left me a note… and I understood that she wanted nothing more to


    do with me.


    My phone rang again and again and again. I waited when it ended so I could see her picture. The three


    were calling – the only call I was picking up was an unknown number. And if it wasn’t Anna,


    known number. And if it wasn’t Anna, I was adding it to my cklist.


    The calls ended. I didn’t mind. I was tired. Maybe if I slept, I’d wake up to find her beside me. I closed


    my eyes when someone pounded at the door.


    “Liam!” the voice shouted.


    It was Rigel. The fucking yer – if Anna only knew how many women he broke, she would’ve avoided


    him.


    “Fuck, open up!”


    Fuck off. I’m about to sleep.


    “We found the car wrecked half a kilometer from here. She never got backt o her old pack, Liam. She’s


    been missing since that morning!”


    My eyes snapped open. I immediately stood. My head felt dizzy at the blood rush but fuck it, I swung


    open the door.


    “What did you say?”


    “Anna’s missing,” he confirmed, growling. “Someone took her and sent Carson to the ER.”


    Someone dared take my Anna?


    meone dared take my Anna? 2


    I stretched my neck to the sides, the stiff muscles rxing. Then I rolled my shoulders as I fought to


    keep Luca from gaining control. Someone took her…


    Someone earned a one-way ticket to the Goddess. It’d be a shame if delivery was dyed


    I went past him and he followed behind. I opened the links to reconnect with everyone in the pack


    I hope you’re not hurt. I promised you I’ll always protect you. I promised you a lifetime. I cannot ept


    your rejection. It’ll kill me. I’ll be there soon, mate. Trust your Alpha once more…
