Damon:She said it.After everything that I pushed her through, she said it.She said the words I hadn’t been able to say.And I didn’t say them back.Even now, lying in bed, her warm body curled up against mine, her head resting on my chest as she slept peacefully, I couldn’t stop hearing her voice
Instead, she sat up slowly, the sheet falling from her shoulders, revealing the curve of her back as she slid off the bed.She reached for her robe on the chair.“I’m going to shower and get ready for work,” she murmured, voice still laced with sleep.I nodded but didn’t move.She glanced at me befo
Delilah:I kept my eyes on the windows. I watched her walk out of the house as I watched her leaving by herself. He was not going with her. Well, that was the start. I could use that to my advantage. He was going to be here. At least, I hope that he would.What I wasn’t expecting, however, was for t
Sienna:I had never felt more like a stranger in a place that was supposed to be home.My bridges got back home from work, so surprised that Damon did not bother showing up. Ethan was nowhere to be seen. I went to the office and was just there alone. But I was thankful for that. I managed to finish
Damon:I caught her scent before I saw her.It didn’t matter how faint it was, how much she tried to mask it, my wolf picked up on it instantly. Delilah.The woman that has now become more of a headache than I wanted her to be. The woman who got my mate, MY woman, more insecure than she should be. T
I did not know what to think when Damon took my hand in his. I did not know what he would do. I simply believed that the two of us were going to walk together.But this… this was beyond anything that I would have expected.My legs trembled beneath me.Hell, I did not even know how I was still standi
Delilah:I shook my leg as I recalled the moment when he had announced her as his mate. The moment he made sure that I was listening.The moment his voice echoed through the courtyard, sharp and commanding. The way his hand wrapped around Sienna’s. The look in his eyes when he declared her as Luna.
Giovanni:The silence in my study was thicker than usual.It was silent to the point where it was actually annoying. The silence was supposed to be peaceful. I could not help but find myself getting lost in more thoughts than I wanted to be.No wind. No sound. Just the low tick of the grandfather cl
Sienna:The warmth of the afternoon sun barely filtered through the windows of our room, but I could feel the coldness in Damon’s demeanor more than anything. He was distant again, not physically, but in the way his eyes didn’t hold mine for too long, in the way his jaw clenched when he thought I wa
“Marissa stepped in. She ran inside the building. She protected you. She brought you back. Your mother jumped out the window. Marissa was going to jump too. Giovanni stood and watched. The building collapsed, and she burned and died inside.” Father explained, looking away from me for a moment. “Sien
Damon:“She said to ask Alpha Kael why he stood there and watched her mother burn alive.”Carter’s words sent a wave of shock through the room. I turned toward him, stunned, every muscle in my body tensing. This was the last thing that I would have expected to think that things were being played thi
Delilah:I stayed longer than I meant to.It wasn't because I wanted to, but it was because this was the one place where I could be who I was, where I could remove the mask of strength that I was forced to wear, where I could just sit without Giovanni's men lurking around me.I still don't know what
Ethan:There were things in this world I could handle, pain, betrayal, even death. But not this. Not her. Not when I knew how wrong this was and yet no one I could not stop how I was feeling no matter how hard I tried.I leaned against the stone column outside the west wing, my arms folded across
Damon:“I don't understand how she managed to get inside the building towards Sienna's office and why no one stopped her, Why security didn't just stop her. What did she give them as an explanation and how did she find out where she was working? How did she find out where the building was?” I asked,
Delilah:The moment I stepped into the study, I knew something was wrong.Actually, it was the moment that I walked inside the house, when I noticed the tension within the house and when I was told that he was waiting for me in his office.The maids avoided eye contact. The air was heavier than usua
Damon:The house was quiet when I got home, too quiet.It was as if the light of the home that I have gotten used to seemed to dim down in a way that I could not explain.There was no sound of Isla’s babbles, no soft hum of Sienna’s voice echoing from the hall. The usual warmth that filled these wal
Sienna:The office was quiet, save for the soft tapping of keys and the hum of the coffee machine in the corner. Damon wasn’t here today, something about needing to deal with a few matters that didn’t concern the company. He hadn’t elaborated, and I hadn’t asked.I did not want to intervene, though
