Selena’sDozens of thin sheets of paper, I hold them in my hands but they feel heavy. It was mom's short life.I felt as if my heart had been ripped open by a crack, where blood was gurgling, the wind was howling, and the snow was falling.Emory put her warm hands on my shoulders, "Darling, don't be
Nyx stood not far from us, and I hugged Emory and Baron, one by one. When I walked up to Nyx, she didn't resist my hug, though she felt awkward.Charles and I drove back to the hotel in silence. The exhaustion of the emotional ups and downs made me want to say nothing. Back at the hotel, I felt as i
Billy’s POVThis is my fourth day in Maline City.I rented an unassuming, second-hand sports car. I'd been parked not far from the house since morning, watching people come and go like an FBI agent. I didn't start the car until after 11 p. m. , when all the lights in the house went out.The next day
I finally slowed down and watched the taxi drive away from me, disappearing at the end of the road, leaving a tiny but glaring yellow dot.I drove on down the road to Maline, and although I didn't try to follow the cab, we were the only ones on the road, so I accidentally followed it to Madelyn's ho
Madelyn’s POV At 8:00 am, I got up on time, took a shower, put caviar oil on my hair, then applied a moisturizing mask. After finishing the basic skin care, I started to put on makeup and do my hair with the help of the maid. Finally, I changed into the dress I liked and chose shoes, accessories a
We sat down together in our seats. Our conversation was like an unreturned letter, a train with no return, suddenly interrupted and disappeared. Charlie Wood wasn't good at making small talk, and I wasn't interested in his work or in making any new one-liners, so for a moment we both drank coffee in
Billy’s POV "What are we going to do, Billy?" Madelyn followed me out of the cafe. She hugged herself and looked flustered. Her mother's ranting on the phone seemed to scare her. Why would I know that? Because her voice is so loud that I can hear it. "Don't be afraid. I'll go with you and ta
I was polite enough to smile properly. “It's OK. I owe you an apology. I arrived here without a formal visit and even interrupted Madelyn 's date. I'm sorry for the trouble I caused.” Kelly's round face flushed with embarrassment. "Sorry, I didn't know you were..." "Mom, you didn't give Billy a
Atticus' POV: I understood that I had no other choice but to get Eloise to agree. The scandal between Lisa and I had been widely spread. The best way to solve this problem was to prove that Eloise and I were still very close, at least to the extent that we could attend this event together. "We
Atticus' POV: Although I wanted to reject the mate connection with Eloise, she sounded very dissatisfied with me right now. Why would she think of me this way? She was the one who had done something unforgivable before. "I've never lied to anyone. I promise you as an Alpha." I looked at her an
Eloise's POV: "How's your chat going?" Soren walked in from the door. He looked at Atticus as if he had just eaten a fly. I swallowed the rest of the words I didn't manage to say. For an Alpha like Atticus, there weren't many things that could hurt him, so this meant that someone must have caref
Eloise's POV: "What? What's happening?" Looking at Soren's expression, I only felt a little scared. My intuition told me something had happened to Atticus, but I still didn't want to believe it. "Don't worry. You'll know when you get there. But before that, I want to ask you a few questions."
Eloise's POV: "I think I need to confirm this with you again." Chloe seemed doubtful. "Are you saying that Atticus wants to have dinner with you? Do you really believe him?" "To be honest, I don't believe it. But he gave me too much money. I won't feel at ease if I don't go," I said sincerely.
Atticus' POV: "Could you be hoping that I'll go and find her now?" I looked at Eloise. I hoped she knew what she was trying to say. However, it was obvious that she didn't realize what was wrong with what she said. I was staying far away from Lisa to avoid future trouble. After all, I knew how
Eloise's POV: I looked at my account balance on my phone and stepped into the store he had mentioned with satisfaction. After learning of my identity, the shop assistants enthusiastically surrounded me. "Isn't this a little... "I tried to stand as far away as possible. "This is what we should
Eloise's POV: The ear-piercing sound of the phone's ringtone pulled me out of my dream. In the dream, I was eating my favorite dessert. I couldn't accept such a big difference. I wasn't feeling my best when I answered. "Hello, who's this?" The person on the other end of the phone only coughed
Atticus' POV: I tried to stay calm, but Lisa was too close to me. This made my wolf feel uncomfortable. She opened her eyes and grabbed my sleeve, looking very aggrieved. "Do you feel better?" I tried not to sit too far away. But the truth was, I didn't want her to be here. She came here alo
