"I took on a human job so I could afford a small studio apartment and got my GED so I could take some online courses about computers. That's how I met Trixie. After that, we moved in together." She explained. "Please don’t pity me," she continued, giving me a stern look. "It was fine, and I was fine
[Silas’s POV]Despite trying to act confident, the minute I dropped Lennox on my bed, I could see her body shaking. Letting out a sigh, I leaned forward, pinning her beneath me so she was forced to look me in the eye."Are you sure about this?" I asked, not quite able to believe that I was actually
[Lennox’s POV]A fiery pain shot through me as I felt something in me snap. Was this it? This was what it felt like to lose your virginity? It fucking hurt!"Are you okay?" Silas’s gentle voice asked. "I can stop if you want.""No," I gasped, "I’m fine, really."Now that the pain was beginning to fa
[Silas’s POV]I let a slow smile spread across my face as I took in Lennox’s shocked gaze. Of course, she wouldn't be able to fully process all the things I planned to do to her. It was cute that she was tough but so damn innocent too."What?" I asked, pinning her beneath me. "Did you think that was
[Silas’s POV]The next morning came much too quickly, and I was left with no more time to get my fill of Lennox. There was still much to be done, from prep to getting ready for Stacy’s birthday party in the evening.After leaving Lennox with my maid Gretchen, I met with Christian and Clifford to mak
[Lennox’s POV]"I was young and dumb back then." I murmured, feigning hurt. "But I don’t understand why no one ever came to look for me. I waited and waited.""We tried." Stacy insisted, "Mother never stopped looking for you."Nodding, I let a tear slowly drip from my eye before reaching out and gra
Something about the way he said "my beta" gave me the heebie jeebies, but now wasn't the time to offend him. That would come later, especially now that I knew he turned a blind eye to everything that happened to me in the past."Alphonze, that’s kind of you," Melanie began, clearly unable to accept
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

"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

[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
