Chapter 16

Liam trailed a finger down Skylar’s cheek and she snuggled closer to him. He had been watching her sleep for quite a while. He leaned down to kiss her. “Sky, wake up.”

She moaned. “Five more minutes.”

“Aren’t you afraid you’re going to be late to start working?”

“I quit, remember?” she mumbled.

“I don’t remember accepting that resignation, but since you’re sleeping with your boss, you can have the day off.”

She swatted his arm and opened her eyes. “Good morning,” she whispered.

“Good morning.” He looked into her eyes, captivated by the electric blue orbs. “Sorry to wake you but there’s something I have to speak with you about. We agreed that there would be no more secrets between us so I want to get this out.”

His serious expression brought her fully awake and she sat up, eyeing him with concern. “Okay, go ahead.”

“I never told you much about my family, except that my mother is dying and one of my brothers hates me. The reason I came back to Boulder Junction was because of my mother. She wanted to see her family together before she dies.”

She reached out a hand to place over his. “Liam, I’m so sorry.”

“No, its fine. I’ve accepted the fact that I’ll be losing her soon. The problem is the family doesn’t do so well together. My father is a dick who treats my mother abominably. She was half human with the shifter gene so she was able to be turned fully. It’s because she wasn’t born a full shifter why her body is so affected by a human illness. Anyway, my father sees humans as weak, inferior organisms. I still don’t know why he chose her if he detested her human half. He doesn’t treat his children any better either. I made my escape from pack life when I was eighteen. I wanted to be my own man instead of being trapped under my father’s iron fist. Some of the rules of the pack are completely ridiculous. There’s also the fact that I was next in line to be alpha of the pack. As my father’s oldest, I still am.”

Skylar shook her head. “Is that a great honor?”

He laughed. “Not to me. I never wanted the title. I mean, if I don’t agree with certain things about pack life, why would I want to be in charge?”

She shrugged. “So you can bring change.”

Liam’s brows knitted as he looked at her. He’d never thought of that before. What if he became alpha and changed things as Skylar said? Running his fingers through his hair, he smiled slightly. “That’s a hell of a point Sky, but if I become alpha, I won’t be able to be with you and I will not give you up.”

Her eyes widened. “O-oh. Well, that complicates matters doesn’t it?” Glancing at him from beneath her lashes, she said, “If you become alpha it would make your mom happy.” He nodded. “And that was why you came home in the first place, to consider it.” He nodded again.
