Who do you think is talking here? Is it Ezra and Lia, or their wolves begging them to finally give in to the mating bond that they made a month ago?
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
Ezra: I woke up with Lia sleeping peacefully on my chest. Her chest rose and fell as her naked body pressed on mine. She had her hand on my chest, laying it under her head as she used me as her pillow. And despite being with countless women before her, I had to admit that neither one of them gave me the sense of comfort and contentment that this small woman gave me. The way she looked at me, her smile, her soft eyes. Everything about her just played in my head, making my heart swell as I thought of them. Hell, even looking at her now just gave me a sense of home, something that I never thought a woman would give me. Her presence now, regardless of where we were, gave me a sense of being in my place, and though this was MY estate, and it was in fact my home, I couldn’t help but wonder how my life was before she entered it. It was funny how things have changed in a span of a month, but I had to admit, I grew used to having her in my room and waking up to find her either asleep, out
Lia:“Who the fuck do you think you are to treat your mother in such a way? Is that how I raised you to be?” Ezra and I were stopped as we were walking toward the door by his father who was now raging with anger. “Hello to you too, father.” Ezra said, turning around to face him. The man’s eyes were wide in anger, and I could tell that it was taking Ezra all his patience to make sure that he was controlling himself in front of his dad. The fact that he just came to attack him the way that he did seemed more painful to me than I could admit out loud. The man didn’t even bother asking his son what happened and just came to assume that Ezra was the one mistaken.“Do not say a simple hello as if it were nothing. You are sending your mother to an exile? Because of your ‘wife’?” He looked at me as if I were some pest, and forcing myself to stay quiet and calm, I crossed my arms over my chest as I allowed Ezra to take charge of this. Interfering was going to get me nowhere, and the last thin
Ezra: I intertwined my fingers with Lia’s as the two of us walked toward an Italian restaurant. The manager opened the door for us, and I nodded in thanks, walking inside alongside my wife who I knew was still upset after what my father said. The two of us stood by in the waiting room, waiting for them to set our table. The brunch being decided on short notice, I knew to give them a chance to get things done up to quality; therefore, I chose not to comment about why they weren’t ready, especially when I called at a pre-rush hour, wanting them to get so much done. It wasn’t her fault that mom chose the path that she did, but she was blamed as if she was the one who was mistaken. The fact that she hasn’t said something about it was something that I was thankful for, and I couldn’t help but regret the fact that I initially wanted to kill her when I first saw her. “Italian breakfast?” Lia asked and I smiled. “More like a late breakfast, or brunch to be more specific. The two of
Lia:I sat on the couch, reading through my book as I waited for Ezra to come back from his mum’s room. I knew that he would need someone to comfort him after he was back, and I was determined to hold him in my arms, letting him know that I was there when he came out. It was something that I wanted to do for him, I wanted to assure him that I was there for him, and that he wasn’t alone. The fact that the two of us have decided to make our marriage a real one was more of a dream to me, and I couldn’t help but appreciate the fact that I knew that I could at least call someone family. HE was my family. I knew that his mother was angrier with me than she could have ever been, but I couldn’t be blamed for the choices that she chose to make. Ezra tried to get her to admit, he tried to get her to speak. He even wanted to make the job easier on the two of them, not wanting to embarrass her, but she chose to be stubborn. And knowing Ezra, at least, for the short period of time that we were t
Ezra:“How did you know that I was looking for the Dragon’s Eye?” I asked mom, glaring daggers at her. She raised an eyebrow at me and shook her head, her eyes meeting mine as she challenged me.“You have been asked not to look for the thing. There was a reason why we asked you to be Killian’s partner, but it seems like you are literally in the mood to get yourself killed.” Mom said, not answering the question. “One of the main conditions was not to interfere in something that you couldn’t handle or deal with. Do you realize that Killian could kill you in seconds…”“You are not answering the question, mother.” I said, glaring at her. She looked down at her lap, trying to avoid answering again, but I shook my head in question, waiting for her response. “I always knew that you were still searching, and though I never really understood your reason, I chose to allow you to take charge of things. After reading, I quickly understood that you were trying to get rid of your nemesis, Killian.
Lia:My heart dropped to my chest as I heard the number of bullets that were fired.The smell of blood filled my nostrils, and I closed my eyes, avoiding looking at the bodies of men and women that hit the ground as they took their last breaths.Ezra, who was in the center, watching them as they fell, didn’t say a word. He turned around to face me, and I dared look behind him at the bodies that fell. His mum who was sitting on a chair, cried as she watched the result of her actions. I knew that the vision of the bodies would remain in my head, but I also knew that it was needed to ensure the pack’s safety. If anyone found out about this, ignoring the fact that those who have betrayed could have hurt the pack itself from the inside, others would have tried to dare do something similar, and that is something that I knew Ezra couldn’t risk living through.He nodded at me, allowing me to go inside, but I shook my head, letting him know that I was there for him.Having a public execution
