GRACELYNN….The first thing I heard after coming to my consciousness, was the incessant beeping of machines. “Lynn…”“Lynn, can you hear me?" I heard a weak sound of someone calling my name.“Please try to open your eyes slowly," I opened my eyes half, and then I felt my entire body was aching badly. The first person I saw was Dad. Lines of worry were clear on his face.He leaned near me and stroked my hair. “How are you feeling now, dear? Do you have any abdominal pain?” Dad asked me in a concerned-filled tone.Something was off with me suddenly, as my stomach was aching painfully. Something clicked in my mind and my hand automatically went over my belly. “Dad, how about my baby? Baby is still there right?”Dad's face became pale and he pulled back looking terrified. My heart twisted in dread so I looked at Alex and asked him. “Alex, answer me?" I yelled at him."I still have my baby, right?” I yelled looking at both of them and both stood there with their heads hung down.My breath
GRACELYNN….Six Months Later… The 2023 CFDA Fashion Awards presented by Amazon Fashion took place at the iconic American Museum of National History in November. I was nominated for an award so I was excited as hell. It was Zade's dream to be nominated for an award. Unfortunately, he couldn't make it. And the reason was me. That's why I had worked my butt off half of the year to make a place for me in the award show. And to my luck I made it. I was nominated. I just hope I get the award.I was sitting with many famous icons who have been legends for many years in the fashion industry. It wasn't easy for me to make a place in such a big industry. And if I'm standing in this place the credit goes to Evan Williams. America's richest man. When I designed the “Marry Me" wedding gown for his wife it was the best work and I had put so much effort into it. Because of him, I became famous in the fashion world. I owed him a lot. He was a great help to me. I came out of the chain of thoughts w
GRACELYNN….“Are you Zade!" I sat up on the bed and asked the guy who was exactly like Zade.The guy looked at me confusedly. “Lynn, he's not Zade. You know he's no more.” Alex walked near me and sat beside me. Then he placed his hand on my head and stroked my hair. “It's just that he looks exactly like Zade. At first, I was confused too. But when I checked his background it was confirmed that he was someone else. People say that in this world there are seven people with one face. He is one of them who looks like Zade.” I looked back at that guy who was looking ahead at the wall. There was no emotion in his face, just a blank face.“Alpha King Alessandro has sent him for your safety. He was the best in his security team, that's why Alpha King had assigned him for you.” I averted my gaze from him and looked at Alex.“I will thank him later," I said to Alex with a small smile. Dad sat on the other side of my bed and held my face. “Lynn, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Just tel
GRACELYNN….“Look, Zion. I don't have any personal grudge against you. It's just your face is similar to someone who was very close to my heart. I won't be comfortable around you. So it's better to go back to your hometown tomorrow morning. I will talk to Alessandro.” I told him in a calm tone who kept looking at me curiously. As if I was telling a fairytale story."If you don't mind, can I ask you something?” My brows wrinkled at his question but I nodded at him to go ahead with his question whatever he wanted to ask me.“Do you believe in a parallel world? If I tell you I came from a parallel world will you believe me?” I was taken aback by his words. I didn't think he would ask me such a lousy question. I gave him a stern look."Do you take me as a fool, Mr?”"Zion Volvok. My name is Zion Volvok. And no, I don't. I just wanted to know if you believe this or not." He pressed his lips in a thin line staring into my eyes.“No, I don't, now happy?" I snapped at him and he nodded his he
GRACELYNN….Work has always been able to take my mind off. Just like tonight. I was going through reports and plans to expand the business when I realized that I had been working for hours, I can't say that what I was doing was healthy. The food tray was lying on the table in the corner of the room, which made me sigh. I haven't even touched the dinner that Gamma Augusta brought into my office. I have no appetite for that even though I haven't eaten anything since lunchtime.When I averted my eyes from my computer, what happened yesterday with that guy crossed my mind again. He was not leaving my mind at all. He kept bugging my head all the time. When I thought of those green eyes suddenly I felt restless and my mind went blank. I didn't even remember the last paragraph I read just now, as though I was forced to be aware of something else. I shook my head to shove him off my head and look at the paper in my hand but failed to focus on what I was doing. “Ugh! Why can't I concentrate
GRACELYNN….“Seven days. I'm appointing you as my personal bodyguard. If I feel uncomfortable around then you will go back to your pack. That's it. If it is okay for you then you can work for me.” I told Zion and saw his eyes glinting with amusement and there was a triumphant smile on his face."I'm okay with it. But about the punishment you can't back off.” His lips curved up in a smirk as he leaned on the table challenging me."I'm not backing off. Tell me what you want.” I said nonchalantly. "It's a golden opportunity for me. It would be foolish to miss it if I don't ask for it." I frown at his words."I want you to spend this weekend with me." I squinted my eyes at him. Like seriously! Is he out of his mind?“Can't you ask something else?" He just shook his head determinedly holding his hands from behind. I pushed my back on the leather chair and closed my eyes giving it a second thought.“Shall I refuse it? No, If I back off my words it will tarnish my reputation. I'm an Alpha.
GRACELYNN….Working non-stop was way more effective therapy for me. I was making some designs for my new collection. When suddenly I heard a knock on my office door. My assistant popped her head through the door. “Mam, Mrs. Mia Lightwood is here to meet you. I told her that you are busy so she has been waiting for you for almost an hour.” I frowned at her. Mia! Why is she so desperate to talk to me?“Send her in." "Okay, mam.” She nodded and left.In a while there was a knock on the door. “Come in." With my response Luna Mia walked inside my cabin.“What a pleasant surprise, Luna Mia? Please have a seat.” I motioned her to take a seat and she settled on the chair across from mine."It's high time that we meet each other. You are so busy that we can't even talk in the councillor meeting.” Why is she beating around the bash instead of getting straight to the point.“Yeah, you are right. You know I have three companies to handle. It's not easy to handle two packs and three companies.
GRACELYNN….Winter in Hallstatt was beautiful. It felt like I was living in a fairytale world. My heartfelt content looking at the lake and show. Zion brought me to his Grandma's place. It was a small house but a comfy one. You will feel at home there. I didn't think he would take me to this place. Early in the morning Zion came to my room and woke me up then he drove the car towards the airport and ta-da we were in Austria.I was standing on the balcony which was facing the lake. I was glad that the lake didn't turn into ice. It was a beautiful view.“Princess," I flinched and turned around to find Zion standing there holding a mug in his hand.“What did you call me?" I asked him in utter disbelief and to my surprise he let out a chuckle.“Princess. We are now on a vacation. Do you want me to address you as Alpha? I want to make the environment a little friendly, that's why I prefer to call you that. I hope you won't mind it.” There you go. When he flashed his charming smile at me my
Time passed from seconds to minutes, then to hours. After a restless impatient wait outside the delivery room, the doctor came out of there. Everyone was very worried for Gracelynn. Gracelynn's condition was not well. Her Health conditions fall so low. People thought she was gonna die while giving birth to the babies. Zade became very disheartened, he had already told the doctor if they had to choose between babies and mother he would choose Lynn only. But Gracelynn assured him that nothing would happen to her. She will be alright. But still, his mind and heart weren't at ease. Because she was going to give birth very early from the other supernaturals. It was only four months and she was going to give birth to the babies. The operation was risky as it was twin babies. Zade rushed to the doctor when she came out of the operation theatre. "What happened, doctor? Is Gracelynn alright?" Examining her facial expression Zade's heart began to beat loudly and his mind was warning him of a
ZADE MEADOWS…..Six months have passed since I asked Gracelynn to marry me again. And now we were here at the beach in California, on our wedding day. To say that I was thrilled for this day was an understatement. I couldn't believe that I could finally be with her for the rest of my life. But then I couldn't even fucking imagine what my life would be like without her. I had to do so many things just to bring her back into my life. I know I have done many sinful acts just to get her back in my life but everything is fair in love and war. So I don't think it's unfair to play dirty to get your love back.My eyes were locked on her walking down the shore towards the altar holding her Dad's arm. She looked so beautiful in her white wedding dress that angels would be ashamed if they saw her. My breath caught in my throat, and my heart beat faster the closer she got to me. She was looking like a Goddess that was walking to me and this Goddess was mine. As Gracelynn stepped slowly with a b
ZADE MEADOWS….I Could not believe this was really happening. I opened the door to her bedroom, forcing myself to break away just long enough to make sure I'd locked the door properly. I didn’t need anything to stop me from devouring and claiming her tonight. Her touch sent rivets of fire through me, and I was hard for her already. I turned us, pushing her up against the now locked door, capturing her lips once again. She moaned breathlessly, kissing me back with equal hunger.This was a moment I had dreamed of for years and wished for but now that it was here, I was barely able to comprehend the intense storm of emotions that was hitting me like a landslide. Gratefulness, excitement, desire, pleasure, and love. With every caress of our lips against one another's, I was losing control of every ounce of willpower and self-control I had had for these days. This was the woman that was made for me, the woman that made me want to bend my knee to her and lower my head and vow to never hur
GRACELYNN….I couldn't sleep. The clock in my bedroom all shouted that it was already midnight. I have been trying to sleep for the past hour but failed. I grabbed my pillow and covered my head with it to the point that it suffocated me. I squeezed my eyes shut but fuck,I can't stop thinking about him. Is he also thinking about me? Is he also being tortured like me? I was thinking in my mind and suddenly I heard a knock on my door.Who could it be at this hour? I got up and walked to the door to see who it was. A wide smile made its way to my lips when I saw Zion standing before me. I flung my arms around his arms and jumped to wrap my legs around his waist. He balanced himself so as not to fall back on the floor. He chuckled at my action.“You are crazy. What if we fall?" He walked inside and kicked the door shut.“I was missing you like crazy. It's hard to stay away from you, honey.” I hold him tightly and he chuckles again. "I was also missing you. That's why I came running to yo
GRACELYNN….I was checking the monthly report when Suddenly a staff member came to my desk and handed me a letter. A ball of fear grew inside my stomach. I gulped hard and took the latter with a shaking hand. "Are you okay Mam?" Staff asked me when he noticed my hand shaking. My forehead filled with cold sweat. I wiped my sweat with a tissue and said, "Yes! I'm fine. You may go now." I dismissed him. And opened the letter when he had already left.I unfold the letter and glance at it."Dear Little Princess.You didn't take my words seriously. When I told you to stay away from that guy you didn't listen to me and bring him back after firing him. What are you thinking that I will let you live a love-filled peaceful life? Huh! In your dreams. You can't live with your love when I can't have you. You didn't listen to me, now be prepared to bear the consequences. Prepare yourself to attend your dearest boyfriend's funeral.""Your Dearest,Daniel"My heart stopped beating and my whole body
BEATRIX….I heard some commotion around me that forced me to open my eyes. My eyes fluttered open and I found myself tied up with big heavy chains. Two were clutching my hands and one was around my neck.There were some words written on that chain that were glowing brightly.I looked up and roamed my gaze throughout the place and found those men standing over there with a man clothed in a black long coat. His face was not visible as his back was facing me. "She's awake, Boss." One of the men informed him and he spun in my direction. And my eyes went wide in shock when I recognized the person standing before me.Alexander King.The same person to whom Alpha Ryker had sold me. He finally got me. How hard I tried to escape from him, I still ended up in his clutch. "Glad to see you again, Little slave." He spoke with a cocky smirk.But I countered him with a deadly glare.That turned out to be a great mistake. In the blink of an eye, I found him an inch away from me. And in no time I fo
GRACELYNN….Today's breakfast was quieter than usual. I still find it difficult to control my heart. After what happened in the morning in my room. My cheeks heat up every time I gaze at Zion.My eyes landed on Zion again, only to find a soft smile on the corner of his lips. He stared at me with adoration and I felt like I was going to faint. Please stop staring at me like that.Dad asked him to have breakfast with us and he was sitting across from me. While eating he kept stealing glances at me. And I was melting in my place.“What happened to you, Lynn? Are you having a fever? You looked flushed.” Beatrix asked me all of a sudden, making me stunned. I looked up at her to find her worried face.Alex cleared his throat and I could see he was holding back a smile. “I'm fine, Beatrix." Saying that I looked down on my plate as if it was the most important thing in this world.I saw Alex whispering something in her ear from the corner of my eyes and then she looked at me stunned. What are
ZADE MEADOWS….My Dad always said I was born to be a ruler. And I took it seriously and made it my life goal. I did everything to prove to him that I was the best candidate to inherit the title after him. But my brother opposed them and insisted on becoming the Alpha. As he was the elder son of the Meadows family, Elders announced him as the next Alpha. I wasn't happy with that decision as I was way better than him and capable of handling everything. After becoming the Alpha my brother changed in the worst way. And end up doing a heinous crime. Then Alpha Christopher killed him.I had to show everyone that I was sad for my brother but deep down I was happy that there was no one as my opponent. Now no one can stop me from becoming the Alpha of the Silver Lake pack and rule over the Meadows empire. I didn't have any grudge against Alpha Christopher. It's just I had to pretend to be his enemy for killing my brother.I was happy to take over the title when Dad placed a condition before m
Gracelynn's condition became worse in the absence of Zion. She kept herself busy with tons of office work. The work needed to be done in the next week she completed them doing overtime. She was torturing herself by doing work as she didn't want to let Zion come into her mind. But alas, even though she wanted to, she failed to stop thinking about him. He was all over there in her heart, in her mind, in her dreams, everywhere. It was an impossible task for her not to think about him.In frustration, she would yell at her staff and Beta Ryan. She would get irritated very easily. She would lose her temper easily and lash out at the person who is in front of her. Everyone was confused by her bad temper. She was never like this.Due to overwork her health was deteriorating. There were big dark circles under her eyes. She has been spending her time in the office or her study room. She even stopped having proper meals. That's why her father forcefully took her out of her study room to have di
