So, another twist? No?
Lia: I sat on the edge of the bed as I processed what the woman said. The way she spoke made my chest ache, and my heart race, but I forced myself to stay quiet and calm in front of Ezra who I knew must have had so much on his mind right now. “Lia, I did not come here to harm you. But I did come here to warn you. Thankfully, Ezra had invited me beforehand, but I would have come to see you whether or not he had.” Rosemary said, snapping me out of my daze. Her eyes were fixed on me for a few seconds, and despite the pain that I felt in my chest, I nodded at her to go on, wanting to know what she wanted to say. The fact that she was speaking to me the way that she was made my heart race. If she was really being honest, and if she knew who I was, where I was, and what I have been going through, then why didn’t she come to me from the start? “Killian will come for you. One way or the other, he will try to separate you and Ezra for you to be with him. He asked me whether Ezra’s death wo
Ezra:Lia’s eyes were wide in surprise as she heard the words leaving my mouth. I couldn’t blame her though.This wasn’t how I expected that I would be telling her about my feelings for her. But the fact that I knew that Killian was her mate brought more pain in me than a bullet piercing my skin.“You don’t have to say it back, princess. But I wanted you to know how I felt about you. I know that I am not the best at being a lover, and I know that as a husband…” Lia stopped me by connecting her lips with mine in a gentle kiss. One that had me smiling as I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her to my lap. She bit my bottom lip, pulling on it gently as she wrapped her arms around my neck, deepening the kiss.I lowered my hand to her waist, gently grinding her against me as my boner grew bigger under her. She moaned at the feeling, and letting out a low groan, I kissed her neck. The smell of her arousal set my own body on fire, and I didn’t know whether it was a moment’s heat or not, but
Lia: I stood by the living room’s door, debating on whether or not to walk inside. And it wasn’t until Ezra wrapped his arm around my waist, snapping me out of my daze that I felt somewhat frightened of what I was going to hear. The fact that the woman was my aunt was something, but the number of questions that I had playing in my head were countless, and the thing was, I didn’t even know how I would be able to voice them out. All I knew was that I was scared of the consequences of what I was going to hear. “Ezra, what if things end up going against everything that we are planning?” I asked, looking at my husband who smiled at me. He kissed my temple before nodding in assurance. “We have to trust that things will take the right path. One way or the other, we have to find out what it is.” He said, and I nodded. I took a deep breath before he opened the door for me, watching as I walked inside before he followed me. “I see that your husband has finally managed to calm you down.” Sh
Ezra:I stared at Lia who sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word. It has been a while since the two of us have gone back up to the bedroom, and despite knowing that I had a few things to tend to, I knew that I couldn’t just leave her to deal with her anger on her own. It was something that I was completely against, and seeing as I knew that she wouldn’t even speak to voice out what she was saying, I chose to simply stay by her side.“You know that I won’t do anything crazy, Ezra. You can choose to go where you need to.” Lia said, not bothering to look up at me. This was her fourth time asking me to leave, and though I knew that it was because she wanted to be alone, wanting, or more specifically, needing to digest what she had just heard, I chose not to leave. I didn’t want her dealing with such pain on her own, it was something that I was against, and was not going to allow.“Lia, neonata, I am your husband, and the last thing I want to do is leave you alone in such a situ
Lia:I looked at Ezra whose eyes avoided mine as the two of us entered the living room.His mum has been sitting there, waiting for us to enter for the past ten minutes, and seeing as Ezra was somewhat nervous, the two of us took our slow time before entering the room.The fact that the woman was still upset with her son for wanting to send her away to Italy was not hidden from anyone, and the fact that he knew who I was and lied to her was a whole other story. The woman piled everything in, and this was just going to be another lie that she was going to hold against me. Ezra was her son, and in the end, she would somehow forgive him, but when it came to me, I didn’t know where things were going.We walked inside, and I took a deep breath as I put in the best smile that I could muster. There was no point backing out now. We were already in here, and we both knew that we were going to do what had to happen.“Mama,” Ezra said, making his mum look up at him from the magazine that she was
Maria:I entered my bedroom with a heavy heart as I processed what Ezra had told me. The fact that he was set on this goal was enough to kill me, and the fact that he didn’t understand the consequences that followed didn’t make things any better.My heart throbbed, and I sat on the edge of the bed allowing myself to cry for the first time since the attack at the airport. I couldn’t blame the men. Neither one of them knew about the existence of the other until they were old enough to become enemies. It was something that killed me inside, but knowing that I had to protect him, I was forced to stay quiet.I ran my fingers through my hair, pulling on the roots as I shook my head. Killian shouldn’t have come back here. He and Annalise, the woman he believed was his sister, should have stayed where they belonged away from here. The bedroom’s door opened, revealing my mate. The man who I was thankful for having around. I knew that he could have killed them that night, I knew that it was
Ezra: I looked out the window, my heart aching at the fact that my mother has not only crossed so many limits, but has also asked me to disregard everything that happened with the Lycan. The pain that I saw in her eyes was one that I didn’t even understand, but considering the fact that she was even trying to talk me out of speaking to the man who killed her children, now that is something that I did not understand. Sure, she didn’t know about him being the one who did it before, but now that she did, now that she knew that Lia’s family was innocent, why didn’t she want the man to pay for the pain that he caused us and the pack. The Lycan didn’t only settle to killing my younger siblings, but many of the pack members have lost their family members that day. Whether it was parents, lovers, mates, siblings or children. Each one of us has had their own share of pain that night, and it was one that we still remembered on a daily basis. Rather than celebrating a wedding that we had in t
Lia: My heart skipped a beat as the plane landed in my home city. And I had to admit, I didn’t even know how I felt about it. Just the fact that I was here was more than enough to make me smile as memories played in my head. Memories that I sometimes forgot, or even tried to as days went on. I was born and raised in Rome till my teenage years before we moved to New York. Little did I know that I would be regretting the move, or that I would be missing the smell and scent of the place that I grew up in. The peace that we had here, the happiness that we lived through. I didn’t appreciate it at the time, nor did I know the number of struggles that my parents have been through during that period. “Are you okay?” Ezra asked, breaking my train of thoughts. I smiled and nodded, turning to face him as he wrapped his arm around me, pulling me to his chest. “I just miss it here, I guess. I never really expected to after we went to the States, but it seems like my heart knows where it came f
