Chapter 194 Liam’s P.O.V. I didn’t have time to process what happened. One moment, I was standing in the center of an angry crowd—everything felt like it was closing in on me—and then the next, the world seemed to collapse around me. Darkness. Weightlessness. Cold air wrapped around me, pulling
Chapter 193 Liam’s P.O.V. Mai sat stiffly on the rock beside me, her eyes locked onto the lake’s surface, but I could tell she wasn’t really seeing it. Her fingers twitched against her knees, her whole body coiled tight like a bowstring. She was scared. That alone made my stomach
Chapter 192 Mai’s P.O.V. I woke up feeling… wrong. Something gnawed at the edges of my mind, a whisper just out of reach. My sheets were tangled around my legs, and my skin felt damp, as if I had been thrashing in my sleep. My heart pounded, but I couldn’t
Chapter 191 Mai’s P.O.V. I didn’t sleep that night. How could I? Every time I closed my eyes, I felt the rush of the wind against my skin, the strength of Liam’s wolf beneath me, the way he ran like nothing else in the world mattered. The way he let
Chapter 190 Liam’s P.O.V. I folded my arms and eyed Mai suspiciously. “So, you and Ollie aren’t plotting some elaborate bullying scheme to deal with me p> Mai snorted, her silver eyes gleaming with amusement. “Did you not hear a single word I just said, or are you acting stupid
Chapter 189 Liam’s P.O.V. I didn’t even hesitate. The instant Mai’s back was turned, I took off. My heart pounded in sync with my footsteps, the rough terrain threatening to trip me with every frantic step. Every fiber of my being screamed one thing— run. The cave’s exit loomed ahead,
Chapter 188 Mai’s P.O.V. Liam’s words sliced through me like claws to the heart. “Stay away from me p> I wanted to laugh because it was ridiculous but I stood frozen in place, unable to move, unable to breathe. The noise of the movie theater, the distant chatter, the scent
Chapter 187 Liam ’s P.O.V. Arthur’s words clung to my mind like cobwebs, sticky and impossible to ignore. As I stepped out of the locker room, my head was spinning. Mai and Ollie planning something big? A bully scheme? It didn’t make sense. Then again, Mai never needed a reason
Chapter 186 Liam’s P.O.V I should have known better than to argue with Mai Blackwood. “Go home, Mai p> “No p> I groaned for the tenth time that evening. “Mai, seriously. You don’t have to walk me home p> She rolled her eyes, the silver in them making her look
Chapter 185 Mai~ The lake shimmered under the fading afternoon light as I sat beside Liam, pretending not to notice the cautious glances he kept casting my way. His burn scars peeked out from beneath his blond hair, reminders of a history I’d rather forget—or at least pretend didn’t exist.
Chapter 184 Liam’s P.O.V. Mai Blackwood. The name itself was a curse. A specter looming over my life since I was four years old. She was the reason for my scars—the reason the left side of my face was a permanent reminder of my humiliation. I thought I hated her.
Chapter 183 Mai’s P.O.V. When I roped Dawson into pairing me with Liam for a semester-long project, it was all part of my plan to help Liam get over his fear of fire. What I didn’t expect? That it would be the toughest challenge I’d ever faced. See, I was
Chapter 182 Mai~ The tension between Liam and me had always been strong, but that moment—when I finally said the words I had been holding back for weeks—changed everything. My heart beat painfully in my chest as his sharp blue eyes flicked to mine. His voice—when it came—was like ice.
Chapter 181 Liam’s P.O.V. I tapped the tip of my pencil against my sketchpad, the faint sound the only thing breaking the stillness of the lake. The reflection of the sky on the water blurred as the wind sent ripples across its surface. Like I had said countless times, this
Chapter 180 Mai’s P.O.V. I wasn’t sure when it started. Maybe it was the moment he walked back into school, his shoulders hunched like he was bracing for another hit that never came. Maybe it was when I saw the burn scars creeping up his forehead, a permanent reminder of
Chapter 179 Liam’s P.O.V. The next day started out… weirdly good. Too good, in fact. I walked into school, bracing myself for the usual lineup of high school horror: snickers, whispered insults, and—if I was really lucky—another “accidental” shoelace-related faceplant, courtesy of Philip and his gang. But there was nothing.
Chapter 178 Liam’s P.O.V. Ever since I returned to the pack, it felt like I was caught in some twisted joke orchestrated by the Moon Goddess herself. Everywhere I went, Mai Blackwood seemed to appear, her piercing silver eyes tracking my every move. At first, I thought it was just
Chapter 177 Mai’s P.O.V. My name is Mai Blackwood, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I’m not your hero. No, I’m the one you cross the street to avoid, the one whose name parents whisper to their children as a warning. I don’t care.
Chapter 176 Liam’s P.O.V. The dream started the way it always did—bright and warm. The air smelled of fresh-cut grass and the faintest hint of wildflowers. I remember the warmth of the sun on my face, the soft giggles of children playing, and the way my tiny fingers curled around
Chapter 175 The Moonpeak Pack was quiet—too quiet. Their estate stretched endlessly, a symbol of strength and dominance, ruled by Alpha Blackwood, a leader fierce enough to protect it with his life. By his side was Luna Teresa Blackwood, just as powerful and fierce. The training grounds, usually alive with
