Liam’s POV
The fight lasted longer than I expected as more Rogues pulled out from every corner to attack us, we were now short on one man as Greg had to drive Macy out of there, my mate’s safety was my number one priority presently,
Rage fought viciously tearing apart any Rogue that crossed his part, and soon after Greg arrived with some men to assist us, but the fight was already over, with so many dead bodies of Rogues that filled the street,
I shifted back my entire body was covered in blood, but I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen I looked down to notice that I was bleeding, and it was not healing, quickly Greg assisted me into the car, and we drove off.
My mind was in a frenzy as I sat in the back seat, my hands pressed against the injury, trying to stop the blood, I was bleeding profusely, but my worry was about my mate, her emotions hit me hard through the bond.
My mate was scared, fear and worry enveloped her, I closed my eyes, and the memories of the fun we had at the party played in my head, making me chuckle,
” I can’t believe you just laughed, Don’t you realize you have been stabbed with wolf bane,”
The voice of my Best friend echoed in the car as he drove, bringing me out of my reflection, my lip tugged up in a smile at his words.
” Drive faster I miss my lady,”
Greg rolls his eyes at my words but increases his pace, Finally, we arrived in Waterfall. My eyes catch my mate, and she runs to me in shock at my appearance,
The entire time the doctor stitched me up, my eyes were on her, the pain was there, but I was numb to it, my attention was on her, and I was relieved that she was safe here with me.
I had woken up a few hours earlier but decided to feign slumber, I listened carefully as my mate poured out her heart to my unconscious self at least she thought I was, I smirked inwardly at her audacity, Macy has never been this open about her feelings ever since we got together and it in some way warmed my heart.
Macy helped me take a shower that morning, and we headed down for breakfast, everyone was present at the table, and Mom made sure to prepare all my favorite dishes; typical Mom.
” Son, I’m glad you are okay, you indeed scared us last night,”
Mom says as she fills my plate with different types of food, insisting I eat a lot,
” These sorts of incidents are inevitable Mom, especially with the incoming threats I have been receiving,”
Macy stirred to look at me with wide eyes, “Shit,” I whisper, I knew I literally just messed up, I should not have said that with her here.
” What do you mean you have been receiving threats?”
” Baby, we will talk about this later, not here please,”
Macy was not happy with my outburst, she played with her food, throughout breakfast. The instant we left the table, she pushed me into our room with an angry look on her face,
” I need to know everything!” she demanded, her voice in a high tone, she was pissed.
I shrugged at her behavior, to avoid further drama I had to spill everything to her about the threat to attack Waterfall.
” Goodness! Why didn’t you tell me anything, Liam?”
” I simply did not want you to worry, plus I have the matter under control,”
” Worry me? Really, Liam, you believe telling me means disturbing me! Isn’t this the reason I am your mate? To stand by you and assist you with things like these, I know I might not be of great help because I am human, nevertheless, you did not have to put it up to my face by hiding something so vital like this.”
She was beyond hurt, it hit me hard through the bond, Rage whimpered as her emotions washed over us,
” Baby, I’m sorry, I never meant to conceal it from you, I thought you did not need to know, And don’t you ever feel that you are of no help, please, you have already done so much by accepting me in your life,”
I moved closer and took her in my arms, her tears now streaming down her face, as I held her body close to my chest,
” I feel like I am useless to you Liam, I am only a burden, who you have to protect for the rest of our lives,”
” Don’t sound like that, Baby, You are not useless,”
The attack on me and my men has not affected us at all, in fact, it has taken me a step closer to catching whoever this motherfucker playing these games are.
Later that day I sat in my office with my Beta trying to figure out a way to commence our new plan, everything was set, the trap, the bait, all that was left was the deer to get caught.
Macy made sure I did not stress too much, she was extra careful with me concerning my health which had me grinning, I loved the attention and did not want it to stop.
” Would you want to go to another ball in the future?”
” I am never going to a ball again!” Macy responded in a rush without hesitation, her reaction did not surprise me at all, not after what she witnessed.
A week had passed since the incident of the attack, we sat together in our room, going through some paperwork, Macy now assisted with the office work,
And we do not forget to train every morning, Macy was now better than she was when we started, at least now she can run twenty laps without complaint,
” I have a surprise for you later,”
Macy furrows her brow at me, a smile etched on her face, “What is it?”
” That’s why it is a surprise, you can not find out until later,”
” But___”
” Hush, now, now go back to work,” I cut her off, and she rolled her eyes at me making me growl at her actions, instantly my pants got tight with her gesture.
My phone beeps indicating I received a text, I smile when I read the content of the message, “Why are you grinning like your girl just texted you,”
Her expression surprised me, Macy stares at me with a covetous look on her face which was funny,
” Because she just did,”
” Well, I’m not even with my phone so how did I text you?”
” Maybe it wasn’t you,”
Macy sent me a death glare immediately after those words left my lips, “You wouldn’t dare, Liam,” she murmurs,
” Come on, that is enough for today, let’s go,”
Without letting her say a word, I pull her with me out of the room, “Where the hell are we going?”
” You’ll find out when we get there,”
We arrived at a dress shop, and we walked into the store, the salesperson approached us with a smile on her face,
” Liam, what are we going here?”
” This is a dress store, so we are here to purchase a dress,”
” For whom?”
Her questions made me shrug, Macy’s acquisition was tiring, and then the owner of the shop approached us, “Welcome Mr. Torres, everything is ready as per your request, please follow me this way,”
I pulled my confused Mate with me toward the private area where the Owner ushered us in, numerous dresses piled up in front of us. I heard my mate wow at the beautiful designs in front of her,
” This way please, Ma’am,” the lady implored Macy to follow her into the dressing room, Macy glanced at her confused at her words,
” It’s okay, go on,” I assure her as she was still seated on the couch, eventually she stood up and followed the lady into the room.
A few minutes later my mouth was left open as my eyes sized up my mate in the dress she had on, it was simply alluring and unique. The white body gum dress, fitted perfectly on her skin, exposing those tempting curves, it went down to her ankle but from the knee down was in a transparent satin, showcasing her full legs,
” I love you,” were the only words that left my lips, as I gaped at her like a lost man seeing a woman for the first time.
Macy turns red at my remark, “Do you like it?”
” It is beautiful, but with you in it, it is perfection baby,”
I quickly paid for the dress, and then we left the shop, it was just us, no security or driver, I drove the car instead, this was a solo date with just me and my mate.
We came to a stop in front of a beauty mart, A lady we both knew approached us as we entered the store,
” Fiona!” Macy called out her name, surprised to see her, but I was not, since I booked the appointment myself, I even went as far as booking the entire shop for the rest of the day,
” Take good care of her,” I comment as I turn my back to leave,
” Where are you off to?” my mate inquires, tugging on my arms,
” I’ll pick you up later baby, in the meantime, have fun,”
With that, I walked out of the mart, In less than a few hours, Macy would get the shock of her life, and my heart raced as I anticipated her reaction to the surprise I had planned out for her.
