Ella POVWhen David's eyes met mine, he smiled brightly. It was a genuine smile, and it took me off guard. Then I realized why he was so happy: everyone around him was looking at me in shock, and he liked the attention.He stepped away from the group and put his arm around my waist."This is Ella,"
Ella POVAs we were heading into the building, I heard someone call my name. I turned around to find my parents walking toward us.Not far behind them were David's parents and even Amanda's family with all of her siblings. It seemed this opening was a far bigger event than I had realized.We now had
I settled on a color that I thought would complement my complexion. It was a pretty emerald green tone.I pulled the jacket out and held it up against myself.“Are you serious?” Amanda asked with a scoff. “If you want to blend in with the wallpaper, I guess that'll work. You want something that'll h
Ella POV"That's so generous of Alpha Alexander. Please make sure he knows we're grateful for this." I smiled at the employee."Who needs him to pay for it?" David muttered bitterly.Amanda's mouth was hanging open in surprise as she stared at the expensive clothing. I knew if she were in my shoes,
Ella POVOver the next few days, I looked into all of the Gammas we had talked about before, and I found absolutely no indication that any of them were disloyal, which honestly left me feeling a little more nervous. Whoever the traitor was, they were hiding well.I also periodically checked my mess
Ella POVIn my last life, I had naively believed that opening travel routes to the North would be a good thing and that it would bring opportunity to our pack. But now I had seen enough as a Luna to know that the North couldn't be trusted.There was far too much rogue activity to safely open a trave
Ella POVI had no words to reply to Alexander’s ridiculous request, but I desperately needed his help. If this was what it took...Besides, if I could force myself to kiss someone who completely disgusted me, there should be no problem with kissing someone that I genuinely found attractive. I had no
She smiled slightly. “Strengthening your body will help strengthen your wolf as well,” she explained. “Remember, your wolf is a part of you, not a separate entity. When you’re stronger, she’s stronger. And she’ll need her strength to emerge from this dormant state.” “I see,” I said, smiling. “That
Ella POV I arrived at the doctor’s office in the capital early Monday morning, feeling far more nervous than I should have. It was just a physical—simple, routine. But the fact that I was meeting with one of Alexander’s doctors to double-check my own physician’s work made the whole experience feel
Ella POV Alexander's driver had been on standby, knowing we likely wouldn’t stay long. The car was already running when we reached it. Alexander held the door open for me before getting in behind me, and as soon as the door closed, the driver began to pull away from the park. I looked down at th
I took a step forward, and Alexander followed closely, his presence beside me a constant, silent reminder for David to tread carefully. I accepted the papers from David, my hand reaching for the pen, but before I could sign, Alexander gently stopped my hand. "We'll review this thoroughly and send
Ella POV The look of anger on David’s face was unmistakable—a flash of raw frustration that settled into his tightened jaw. Silence lingered heavily over the crowd, the kind that raised far more questions than answers. If he had hoped to avoid drawing suspicion, he had failed spectacularly. “You
I returned her squeeze, letting her know I was not to be intimidated. “If you make a scene, I’ll have you arrested,” David muttered, glaring as I withdrew my hand from Amanda’s grasp. “You can’t prove anything. You’ll only embarrass yourself.” Feigning innocence, I shrugged. “I have no idea what
Ella POV I sat across from Alexander in the car, watching him as he focused intently on his phone. He was likely catching up on emails or checking in on one of his businesses—he rarely wasted a moment, even while traveling. Dressed in a perfectly tailored three-piece suit with gleaming gold cuff
Ella POV The days between discovering David’s engagement and attending his event stretched out painfully slowly, a strange stillness settling over everything. My parents watched me closely, waiting for signs of heartbreak or distress. They expected me to be hurt, maybe even devastated, by the ne
