LOGINKalix 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

Hearing the word punishment made me think back to those fleeting seconds in Lilac’s hotel room where I caught a glimpse of the scars along her back. The sight of them, puckered and raised, a myriad of slashes along her milky skin, prompted a sharp tug to the mate bond. What the fuck happened to her
Nox’s P.O.V. That bitch broke my fucking window. I stared into the eyes of the girl I once thought I knew inside and out. I’d been an idiot, a daydreamer blinded by big doe-eyes and a laugh as warm and bright as sunlight. Did I ever truly know Lilac Einar? No, I don’t think I had. My lips curle
This couldn’t be real. In no reality would Oliver ever do me any favors. Either he was out of his mind, or I’d been knocked out and thrown into some other world. Besides, there was something that didn’t quite add up. “Is he not at my old house?” I asked him. He and my mother had bought their house
Behind the in-ground pool with its built-in water fall and curved slide was the gardens, another feature Nox’s mother had asked for.
