Lilac’s P.O.V.I’d been channeling my inner race car driver when I saw the wolf burst from the forest line.Stay positive, my mother had always told me. The massive, ferocious looking wolf wasn’t after Nox and I at all. It was on it’s way to the dog park, ready to chase the pretty golden retrievers
“I’m going to need you to stand.” He instructed.My eyes snapped open to see the rope he somehow had attached to part of the cliff wall, through the shattered windshield. There were inches between the rope and the jagged frame of glass that remained attached to the van, but it was our only option.
Lilac’s P.O.V.“You’re alive. How?” I scanned her head-to-toe as she explained how she and Hakeem had stepped outside to talk last night, only to see the masked men pull up to the house. There hadn’t been enough time for them to rush back inside, leaving them with no choice but to flee into the for
“I knew you’d be interested.” She chuckled. “You need a vial of his blood. It can be a drop, but it has to be worn around your neck to work.”It now made sense why she said it wouldn’t be easy. Getting Nox’s blood would be a feat in itself. I could always wait until someone else attacked us, but who
My head swiveled his way like it had been planted atop a metal pole. Acid filled my mouth, but I held it at bay when the corner of his lips twitched. The asshole was trying to bait me! Was it because he didn’t want me staying with Hakeem? I wasn’t sure. Jada clasped her hands together in a very pre
Nox’s P.O.V.Sleeping in the same room as Lilac Einar wasn’t just hard. It was damn near impossible. All night I listened to her breathe. She’d quickly begin to snore, only the sound would jolt her awake. The first time I had almost laughed. That was until I realized why her body reacted that way.
And I was not going to be one of those guys who pined over a girl they could never have. Yes we are, a voice sang in my head. It could’ve been my wolf, or that fucking bond. I wasn’t sure, but it changed nothing. We pulled into the winding courtyard of Silverstone Prep, accompanied by a throng of
Nox’s P.O.V.I could practically see the smoke pouring from Lilac’s ears. It filled the massive office, only to evaporate when Valeria sighed and said, “She was a close friend. One I’ll miss dearly for as long as I’m on this wretched earth.” “You were friends with my mother?” “Oh, yes. I was one o
Kalix froze. In fact, I was pretty sure we all froze. “My wife is pregnant?” “Yes.” Natasha nodded. “With my baby?” “No, the mailman’s.” She snorted, wiping the tears from her eyes. “Who else would it be?” “I’m going to be a father?” A giggle bubbled past her lips. “That’s typically what happe
I recognized the look on Kalix’s face whenever his sister and Shayla were in the same room. The mixture of awe, terror, and bliss was unlike anything I’d ever felt before. We had everything we could’ve ever wanted and would do anything to keep it that away. “Where’s Natasha and Hakeem?” Shayla aske
Nox’s P.O.V. Six Years Later “You no good cheater!” I heard my mate belt from across the backyard. Her father’s boisterous laugh followed, drawing my eyes. The two of them stood in the stand pit off to the side of the pool and were currently hitting a volleyball back and forth. Jada and Brinley w
I threaded my arm through his and patted his hand. “Well, now you can focus on other things.” A gleam of nervousness filled his eyes. “So, is everything ready for tonight?” Shayla often mentioned how flustered she’d get by Kalix’s smooth charm, but she was the only one who failed to see how nervou
Mom beamed, tears blossoming in her eyes as she threw her arms around our shoulders. We clung to her side chuckling when Jada raced forward to blot her make-up with a microfiber cloth. “I’m sorry, I’m just so happy. I never thought I’d get to see this moment. Goddess, I’m so grateful. I’ve got both
Lilac’s P.O.V. Three Years Later “This itches.” I grunted, picking at the lace clinging to my rear. “Mark my words, I’m going to have a rash on my ass by the end of the night.” “No scratching!” Shayla smacked my hand away, a playful grin curling at her lips. Since disappearing on a little trip w
“Your aura has never been brighter.” She murmured quietly in my ear, a bright smile warming her face. A few minutes later, Diego called our names and invited us onto the stage. I laced my arm through Nox’s and followed his lead. No less than six cameras were stationed on us, each one set at a diff
The tension faded from her shoulders as she nodded. “Thank you for being there for me. I never meant to put you in a spot. Anyway, you came here for a reason, right? Don’t let my tears chase you off.” “You sure?” I paused, “It’s not exactly a light topic.” “None of our conversations this past wee
Lilac’s P.O.V. One Week Later “How have you been?” Natasha turned from where she sat on the balcony and smiled softly. Pain lingered behind the action. I should know considering I’d made that same expression a time or two. She motioned me forward, gesturing to the chair beside her. I sat down fo
