So, what did you think about this one? Feel free to ask your questions, hehe.
Ezra:I frowned at Lia’s words before processing the fact that she had burnt her wrist to break the cuffs. Her eyes were fixed on mine, and it wasn’t until mom walked toward her, wrapping her arms around her shoulders, pushing her to sit on the bed that I snapped out of the sudden daze that I was in. “Lia, what do you mean that Killian was the one that did this?” Mom asked, looking at Lia whose eyes dropped to her lap. “I never said that it was Killian who did it. I said, if anyone did anything, it was not my parents. He came to us one night and brought the Dragon’s Eye, despite being sixteen at the time, I was my father’s only heir, and a threat to Killian.” Lia said, looking at mom. “My existence itself was a threat to Killian, and hence why I was always hidden from him. He saw me once and believed that I was a maid, at least, that was what we told him. One of the reasons why he stopped my mother from giving birth, poisoning her whenever she grew pregnant was a story or more spec
Lia: “Hello.” Maddie said, smiling as she walked into the infirmary room. I smiled, sitting up on bed, getting more comfortable as she brought in a tray of food. “Hey.” I said, watching as she put it on top of my lap, and I raised an eyebrow. “Ezra said that you’re yet to eat anything, and as your new partner in crime, I can’t have you starving to death.” She said, making me laugh. Ezra left the room a while ago to tend to his pack and the issues that were rising as they started asking questions. I didn’t know the damage that happened, but I wasn’t stupid enough not to guess that they were not startled and shaken about who their Alpha, Luna, beta, and the Alpha’s parents came home the way they did. The man needed to maintain order within the pack, and he also needed to find out whether or not someone was giving out information about the pack. Killian being at the airport when he was, wasn’t a coincidence, that was something that both Ezra and I knew. Therefore, it was either s
Ezra:I carried Lia in my arms, holding her to my chest as I took her to our bedroom.I knew that she could walk, but due to the impact that she got when she hit her back, the pack doctor recommended that she rests and relaxes as much as she could to ensure that she doesn’t end up getting more hurt than she already was, and minimal movements until she had fully recovered. Of course, that was something that Lia didn’t want, and wasn’t thoroughly convinced about, but seeing as I wouldn’t put her down if she wanted me to, she stopped arguing a few minutes into me lifting her in my arms as Armando opened the infirmary’s door for us.“Thank you, Ariana, we can handle the rest.” I said, watching as my maid opened the door for us to walk into the room. She closed the door once we were inside, and I lay Lia on the center of the bed, on top of the blanket. She was yet to say a word to me since she realized what I initially planned to do, but I wasn’t going to leave it at that. If the two of
Lia: I woke up to Ezra running his finger over my shoulder, gently drawing random patterns over it. I opened my eyes to look at him and couldn’t help the small smile that formed on my lips as he leaned in to kiss me. His kiss was gentle. Softer than those that he used to give me before, and I wasn’t sure what really changed, but I could tell that something did. He cupped my cheek, gently running his finger over it, smiling at me as he rested his forehead against mine, and though I actually thought that he would end up going to work early, I was surprised to find that he was in bed with me. “Don’t you have work, Ezra?” I asked, and he chuckled. This was the third day he’s skipped going to work, and despite the pack doctor assuring him that I was fine to stand on my own yesterday. The past three days in bed have been hectic enough on me, but I still knew that they were necessary for my body to recover after everything that happened. I still didn’t know how we were going to manage
Ezra: “Lia, his scent doesn’t need to set you on edge already.” I said, teasing my wife as the two of us entered the building. “You know, when a man tried to kill me a few days ago, I can’t really find myself sitting on his same table without the urge to slit his throat. I will try my best though.” Lia said, playfully glaring at me, making me laugh. The two of us walked toward the meeting room, ignoring the number of gazes that we got. Most of the employees barely heard of my wife, but most didn’t even know what she looked like. I nodded at Armando who smirked when he saw Lia, knowing that Killian wasn’t going to like this. He opened the door for us, and we walked inside, and I nodded at the men to take a seat as they got up from their chairs, well, all except Killian who stayed seated. “Thank you all for showing up on short notice.” I said, pulling my wife’s chair for her, motioning for her to sit beside me at the head of the table. “As you know that my wife and I have joined pa
Lia: I watched as Killian walked out of the office before turning to my husband who had his eyes on me. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me in for a hug before he kissed the crown of my head, making me smile. “How can you make me so proud without even trying? I swear, I want to know your secret.” He asked, making me laugh. It was hard enough to contain all the anger that I had toward the Lycan, but I am thankful for the fact that it ended up working and that I didn’t end up slitting the man’s throat, no matter how tempting it actually was. The way he looked at me was enough to stir me to the point where I wanted to grab him by his neck and choke him, but nevertheless, I chose to mask that anger with a perfect smile, and a professional manner. It was one that I learned when I got my first job as a babysitter. The man that I worked for was a CEO, and man was he obnoxious, but it was his wife who told me to put on a perfect smile, keep a professional manner, and choose my wor
Ezra: “You two are getting close.” Armando commented once Lia was inside the house. The two of us still had a few places to go to, and seeing as now I knew Lia was going to be busy, I could tend to them without worrying about her staying alone. At least, she wouldn’t be interacting with too many people nor would she be risking hurting herself. I still wasn’t a hundred percent sure about how mom and dad would be reacting toward her when she was alone, but I knew to be careful. “It seems like we are.” I said, watching as he drove off. “Are you sure that it is a good idea to make her interact with the others, more specifically, Killian as much as she is? You do realize that she could get hurt, and I don’t even know if she realizes it.” Armando said, and I shook my head. Her words played in my head back at the club, and I had to admit, I was more concerned than I let out. “And the fact that they know that she is your weakness could come to your disadvantage. You need to keep that in
Killian: “Killian, brother, you are being insane right now.” Annalise said, taking both my hands in hers. I knew that she was trying to talk me out of what I wanted to do, but in order to survive, I knew that I needed to compromise. “Annalise, I told you a thousand times, and I will tell you again, I do not like anyone to interfere with my decisions.” I said, removing my hands from hers, glaring daggers at her as she shook her head at me. “You going to Rosemary will not change anything. That fucking seer has not helped you before, and she will not help you now.” She said, following me out of the room as we walked toward the car. I went to open the door but was surprised when I saw her putting her hand, stopping me. “You are only creating new enemies. SHE is only making you an enemy to them all, and you are not going to gain anything out of it.” “You should be partying as you would be uniting with your mate. If I get his wife to be mine, then you would have a man who is shattered
