[Lennox’s POV]Shock rolled through me as I tried to process exactly what Alphonze was trying to get at. How in the hell could he sit here and suddenly act like he was interested in me when just yesterday he openly admitted to not giving a damn about what Melanie and her fucking daughter were doing?
"Be honest with me." He said slowly, "Do you have feelings for Alphonze?""Didn’t I already...""Stop beating around the bush!"Biting back the rest of my words, I tried to control the sudden wave of emotions that were flaring. How was it possible that a simple night out to try to get information on
[Silas’s POV]A groan escaped my lips as Lennox’s taste danced on my tongue. Goddess, she was divine—nothing like I had ever tasted before. A man could really become addicted."Let’s get out of here." I managed, pulling away enough to look into her dark eyes. "We’ve gotten what we came for, and I do
[Lennox’s POV]My mind whirled as I stared up into Silas’s hazel eyes. How was it possible for the evening to take such a turn? Was I actually awake? Or was this some sort of really good dream that my deepest heart was making me see?"I don’t know." I said slowly, earning myself a frown.This was al
[Lennox’s POV] The next day I woke up early to find Trixie once again already gone. What in the world was she doing these days? Usually she would lounge around the apartment until the afternoon before getting going. Something about it wasn’t sitting well, but before I could think too long about it
[Lennox’s POV]I stared at the large cafe with flashing letters that screamed high class. Honestly, I wasn’t surprised that this was the type of place that Stacy and Melanie would choose."If you want to leave, now is the time to say so." Silas said, drawing my attention toward him. "If it’s too muc
"I only came because of Lennox." Silas beamed, placing a hand on mine and squeezing it.Stacy’s eyes grew wide due to his action, but her expression was nothing compared to Bianca's. If looks could kill, I might be dead. However, before I could really enjoy their looks, a cough escaped Melanie."Sor
[Silas’s POV]Smirking, I gave Lennox’s hand a squeeze before turning my attention back to those that sat at the table with us. As much as I wanted to tell her what I had planned, I also wanted to surprise her with what I had planned.After having Christian do some digging, he discovered some unsavo
Nodding, I take a deep breath and rush to Ayla’s side while Gwen begins the operation, and after a few minutes have passed, I hear a shriek fill the air before she is lifting a tiny creature into the air and handing it over to Brian to clean while she cuts the bloody cord attached.Once she is finis
[Aera’s POV]9 months Late"Mmm, Aera, right there."Ayla’s voice echoes around me, spurring my movements even more. Knowing she was enjoying what I was doing to her was all the encouragement I needed."Ah!" she gasps, leaning more into the chair in front of her. "Not so hard."Chuckling, I lean for
When I reach my parents, their faces fill with relief, and I feel my heart squeeze. Even though they hadn’t spoken a word about everything that happened, I was sure that they were now expecting me to snap at any given second. I still had a lot of making up to do in order to gain everyone’s trust an
[Celia’s POV] I stare up into Alphonze’s dark, unreadable eyes while trying to figure out exactly what I was feeling. Was I just caught by surprise because he suddenly appeared, and that was why I suddenly felt jittery and my heart was racing? Right, that had to be it; there couldn’t be anything e
This had been proof to me that we were intended to be together since we didn’t meet just once by chance but twice.After that, I approached her and began to woo her since I couldn’t stand the thought of losing her. It was a love that I never imagined could exist, let alone for me, but she made me so
[Alphonze’s POV]I stand to the side, watching as everyone present for the evening enjoys themselves, laughing, dancing, and being merry. It had been a while since I had attended something like this, so it was taking a bit to get used to it again.The last time I came to a full moon ball was when I
"It seems that your date for this evening has arrived," Alphonze announces, clapping me on the shoulder. "I wouldn’t distract you any longer."Nodding, I give him a look and don’t miss the sorrow that flashes in his eyes as he looks from Ayla to me."Hold on as tight as you can because you never kno
[Aera's POV]Soft music drifts toward me as I stand to the side of the large ballroom, waiting for my date to arrive.Despite all the chaos that had been happening in our world, Silas and Alphonze insisted that we have a small, intimate gathering for the full moon as a way to relax and unwind after
[Ayla's POV]The next day, I sit in the passenger seat of Aera's car, staring at Crimsone Tides Estate while fighting the urge to run away. When I entered that building, I'd be making the toughest decision of my life, and I wasn't exactly sure if I was ready.Beside me, Aera remains silent while hol
