Chapter 135

Haylie POV 

Seeing Liam again made my heart flutter, and just being with him felt magical. Everything about him was enchanting, and he had changed so much—especially now that he was an Alpha.

His body had gained muscle, making him look more like a man and no longer the seventeen-year-old boy I used to know.

As we drove in his car, I couldn't take my eyes off him. His hands gripped the steering wheel firmly, his upper arms muscular, with faint, visible veins adding to his rugged appearance.

I found myself staring, my fingers gripping the seatbelt that was strapped across me as if grounding myself in that moment. Liam noticed my gaze, and a teasing smile spread across his lips.

" Are you checking me out " he said, his tone playful and full of confidence.
