And three chapters today, yay. What do you guys think of the updates? And how many chapters per day do you think is the ideal number?
Ezra: “I take it that you put my offer in consideration?” I heard Killian ask from inside the hotel’s ballroom.Not wanting to make anything obvious about our partnership just yet, the two of us have agreed to rent a hotel rather than use one of the ones I owned, and though at first I was against it, I quickly complied to Lia who didn’t seem to be in the mood to talk to me to begin with. The two of us were still having a major gap, and I was well aware that it was due to the picture that she saw. Killian having an upper hand on her was not something that she wanted, and if I were being honest, neither was it something that I wanted.“No, I did not, but I have to thank you for coming today.”“You needn’t thank me for something that would benefit the two of us. As I have heard, the gathering is to announce a partnership, and as far as we are both concerned, the one partnership that you need right now is mine.” He said confidently. I had to fight back chuckling at his self entitlement,
Lia:“The two of us are invited to a club’s opening today.” Ezra said, and I nodded. “We need to be there as a couple, and there would be a few things that I would need to finish there as well.”“Sure, when do you want us to leave so I know when to start getting ready?” I asked, shaking my head in question. I was getting ready to go out and run a few errands with Madeline before starting on the new designs that Lady Briana chose after accepting the compensation and apology. The fact that her husband didn’t say anything about it was a miracle, but seeing as she knew my work, and the quality that I often gave her. She knew that if anything like this had happened, then it was beyond my control, and thankfully, that kept her husband quiet. “We would be leaving the house at around nine or nine-thirty. The club opens at eleven for the public, but the VVIP lounge would be open for us. There would be mafia men and their wives, and I do suggest that we tone down the attitude with the women w
Ezra: I watched as Lia walked inside the house carrying a few shopping bags. Maddie was a few steps behind her, and walking inside, she put the bags on the floor, nodding at a maid to come and pick it up. I walked toward the girls, and seeing his girlfriend, Lorenzo walked toward Maddie who smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. She knew that Armando was somewhat against their relationship, and though I was confused about why he was, I chose not to comment or question him about it. The woman was his sister, and he knew what he saw fit for her as a lover. “How are you?” I asked Lia, wrapping my arm around her as I pulled her in for a kiss. I knew that she would be playing along considering that we were in front of Lorenzo, Maddie, and the maids who were picking things up, and smiling at me, she nodded. “I’m fine, and you?” “You do realize that you were with her a few hours ago, right? I didn’t kidnap the woman. The two of us merely went shopping and got our hair and nails d
Lia: “Ezra, Lia, I am surprised to see that the two of you are here.” Killian said, approaching the two of us. Armando was somewhere, walking around the club, getting a drink. The man arrived a while after he brought his girlfriend, who was now his date. Ezra suspects that she might be his mate, but the man is yet to inform him, officially, as his Alpha about anything. Ezra, who was sitting beside me, got up from his chair and extended a hand to the Lycan, shaking it. “I believe that you of all people should be aware of my support for Mikhail.” Ezra answered, raising an eyebrow at Killian. “The main question is why are YOU here? I believe that you are a rival?” “Yes, I was a rival to Mikhail’s father, but that does not mean that I have to be toward his son. You know, a family rival can end somewhere, and I choose for it to end with his father.” Killian said, looking at Mikhail who frowned at the sight of the Lycan. Ezra put his hand on his chest, pushing him back. “The man is pr
Ezra: “Don’t you think that you would be having an issue with Mikhail future wise because of this?” Lia asked, shaking her head in question. The two of us were still at the club, showing whatever support we can offer as we looked at the man who had a number of people around him right now, either praising, or partying around him. “It could, but I don’t think so. The man still lacks a lot and he still has a LOT to learn, but the issue that he’s having is that he doesn’t have anyone to show him the right track.” I said, looking at my wife. “He might be angry now, but he would eventually know that I was speaking to him as a brother. I would still defend him with my life, and if he thinks otherwise, I will be sure to feed him his balls for that.” “TMI.” “Excuse me?” I asked, frowning in confusion at Lia’s disgusted face. “Too much information. TMI, and abbreviation of the sentence.” Lia said, as if stating the obvious. I had to fight back laughing at her explanation, and shaking her
Lia: I sighed as I cleaned Ezra’s cuts as he sat on the edge of the bed. The two of us had to literally sneak into the house to ensure that his mum didn’t see us in fear that she would go bonkers about his bruises and cuts. Daniel, despite being human, managed to cut Ezra’s cheek, and running the cloth with alcohol on it on the cut, Ezra flinched. “I’m sorry, I’m almost done, okay?” I asked, and he nodded, allowing me to get to work. I slowly wiped the cuts for him, careful to clean any excess blood from the cuts before throwing the cloth away and applying medicine on it. Ezra stayed still, allowing me to work as he closed his eyes, avoiding looking at me. I set the ointment away and walked to the bathroom to wash my hands, not bothering to say a word as I allowed Ezra’s words from earlier to sink in my head. The way he spoke to me, his genuine question, and his eyes meeting mine, all that made my heart swell, and the thing was, I didn’t know whether or not he was being serious
Ezra:Never in my life did I think that I would weaken because of a woman.If anything, falling in love or being in a relationship was something that I was completely against exactly for that same reason.The ideas of being scared of losing a woman, her having an effect on me, or the two of us getting into meaningless arguments were a few things that I never wanted to deal with, but here I was, growing ‘emotional’ because of an argument with a woman that I have been sharing a bed with for a month.It sickened me with myself that she could have such an effect on me, and feeling her presence behind me as she walked out of the bedroom and down toward the garden only made me let out a low, warning growl. “I didn’t come here to argue, Ezra.” Lia said, keeping her voice low as she spoke. I initially wanted to go out, but a feeling inside me told me not to. I didn’t know whether it was me, or my wolf, but something seemed to drag me back to the house faster than I ever thought that I would
Lia:I sat on the edge of the bed as Ezra’s question played in my head.The way he looked at me, his anger, his pain, his racing heart as he tried to form a full sentence. Everything made my chest clench as I hated the fact that I knew that I had hurt him. Him catching feelings for me, if that were truly the case, was never something that I dared to think putting in account.He walked into the bedroom, not bothering to knock on the door, probably already knowing that I was not moving around, meaning that I wasn’t indecent. And even if I wasn’t wearing any clothes, the man didn’t necessarily need to worry about it, he knew that he saw me bare. Him knocking on the door was him simply respecting me to do it.He took a deep breath when he saw me getting up, and reading his expression, I chose not to ask any questions about it. The man had more to deal with than he could handle, and leaving it at that, I knew not to pressure him about it. Instead, I walked toward him and wrapped my arms ar
