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
Flashback:The fire cracked like a living beast, devouring everything it touched with no remorse.I stood at the edge of the villa’s courtyard, my hands curled into fists, eyes burning just as much as the building before me. The flames had already spread to the second floor, licking at the wooden be
“You need to run, Luna. You need to hold on to him and run.” I heard her say as she encouraged her.Marissa, Tatiana, pushed her toward the window. I watched, paralyzed, as Evelyn leapt through it with Damon in her arms.Then the fire surged.I saw my Tatiana’s hands pressed against the glass, skin
Sienna:The morning light streamed softly through the window, casting a golden hue across the bedroom. I lay nestled beneath the blankets, Damon's arm lazily draped over my waist, his chest rising and falling in steady rhythm against my back. For a moment, there was peace.He shifted behind me, and
Damon:The sun had barely dipped below the horizon when I guided Sienna out of the car, her hand tucked securely in mine. The sky above was painted in hues of rose and orange, and the distant chirping of crickets signaled the oncoming night.Having had dinner together, the two of us were now heading
Sienna:The soft hum of birdsong outside the cottage window was the first thing I noticed. That, and the warmth.It was a warmth that I felt, that I did not expect to feel, that I did not know or understand. But the smile that formed on my lips told me quickly that I was well aware of what it was fr
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
