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
[Lennox’s POV] Thrill began to thrum me as I watched Stacy and Melanie burst into action, screaming at anyone who would listen to stop the video as it flipped from Stacy participating in a gangbang to other unsavory videos of her. However, the one that really caught me was her in the lobby of what
[Silas’s POV]I stared down at Alphonze as the urge to kill him right here and now rolled through me. Who the fuck did he think he was to treat Lennox as a tool to get an heir based on some ridiculous request by old fools? And what’s more, how could he think I would allow such a thing? Lennox was mi
[Lennox’s POV]I kept my gaze fixed on Silas’s as he considered my question. Though I was already reeling from what I learned about his past love, I couldn’t stop my growing suspicions that he and Melanie somehow had history."Since we met again, you’ve been very determined to help me destroy her. Y
[Silas’s POV]"That soon?" Lennox frowned. "Why so soon?""Because that was the earliest time that my cousin suggested." I shrugged. "Anyway, isn’t it better to not put off what can be done today?""I guess.""Now, do you have any other questions for me?"I waited as Lennox’s brows furrowed together
"Arch your back more." I continued, grabbing her hips and positioning myself. "Yes, just like that."Once she was in position, I shoved in, letting Lennox fully take me before beginning to move."Ah, Silas!" She whimpered, suddenly squeezing me. "That feels…fuck."Smirking, I began to move faster, f
[Silas’s POV]"I said it earlier, but my mother was a member of Midnight Rose before she found my father." I began, readying myself for whatever reaction I may receive. "She was the sister of the previous alpha and a Lancaster. Not many know, but there is a dark secret amongst the Lancasters."Growi
[Lennox’s POV]The next day came much too quickly for my liking. After being kept up for most of the night by Silas’s insatiable need for physical touch, I had hoped to sleep in. However, that was impossible given the gravity of the visit we would be paying later in the day.According to Silas, ther
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
