“Oh, you have got to be kidding me,” I muttered dryly under my breath. This was the absolute last thing Lorenzo and I needed to deal with at the moment. What he and I desperately needed was to find someone who could treat our wounds, not be interrogated by some random guy. On the contrary, this
As soon as they finished speaking, the king presented Lorenzo with an ancient looking talisman for him to wear around his neck, a symbol for his new and important position. The crowds around us practically erupted in jovial cheer and total excitement. I could hardly believe it myself until I felt
Many of the people around us broke out in supportive applause while I let out an inaudible noise of startled excitement. “Oh my God.” I trembled and shook, my body swayed and I was certain I was going to topple over. Had it not been for the sturdy support of Lorenzo’s arm wrapped around my waist,
[Cruz POV] ‘I want her.’ Cruz Sterling had left Lorenzo and Eleanor behind in their tent with a deep-seated feeling of bitter disdain forming in the pit of his gut. It had actually started when he first entered the tent. He’d spotted sweet Eleanor curled up into the side of her alpha and wanted
I couldn’t look past the desperation in Lorenzo’s eyes. It was heartbreaking and caused my muscles to clench and tremble. At that very same moment, he reminded me of a younger version of who he used to be. When the two of us were merely teenagers with our whole lives ahead of us. Young. Innocent.
A series of tremulous shivers broke out all over my body. White hot sparks exploded behind my eyes like shattering stars. Every part of my body started to buzz to life, and everything around me became hypersensitive. The clothes on my body. The air particles floating around the room. The sweet, ho
Lorenzo’s lips came crashing down to mine. It was fierce and needy—almost desperate. My wolf howled and whimpered in joyous acceptance. ‘Finally!’ Kissing him felt like coming home after a long trip. Warm. Sensual. All consuming that I never wanted to leave. Instantly, I was beginning to fee
Lorenzo jumped out of bed and hastily grabbed for his pants. This was not how I first anticipated this day to start. For Christ’s sake! I wanted our morning to be somewhat of a reflection of our time together last night. Emotions were all over the place, but it ultimately led me to have my first t
A few weeks later...Once Lorenzo was cleared to return home and was feeling like his old self again, he and I were finally able to commit to our bonding ceremony. It was a gorgeous summer day, the back courtyard was swimming with flowers and white ribbons.Of course, due to the sudden delay of the
The hospital, as expected, was crowded with numerous people. Doctors and nurses were whisking around to get to their designated destinations with determined haste. Thankfully, Lorezno was able to get admitted as soon as we arrived.A small medical team rushed to our sides, needing to know what happe
“Lorenzo!” Eleanor cried out with an astonished look on her face.The alpha managed to follow Eleanor’s scent through the building. When he finally broke through the various barriers, he came upon a dingy-looking door. The second he heard her distressed cry, Lorenzo smashed the door off its hinges.
Lorenzo’s patience was already wearing thin from his prior conversation with the Lycan King. Part of him still didn’t want to believe half of the information that he’d been told. But, in truth what would the King have to gain from lying to him now?But now it seemed that the alpha had much more dist
It hadn’t escaped my notice how quickly Lorenzo made his mad dash to the door as soon as that message came in from Adeline. The man hadn’t even given me a legitimate answer as to why he was going to the palace.Yes, he mentioned that he was going to see the Lycan Luna—but for what?Lorenzo knew how
“You said what?!” I shouted frantically.Lorenzo had been gradually pacing the length of the study for the last several minutes. He barely spared me a single glance as he told me of his late-night call with Cruz.In the beginning, I felt rather smug about the fact that Sterling was feeling horribly
Lorenzo knew he should have left the flash drive alone. With the ceremony just two days away, there was no reason why he needed to keep revisiting those damn files. What did he expect to find? What was he hoping to further gain?He wasn’t sure—and that was what was driving him crazy. Curiosity had t
Ever since Cruz spoke with Eleanor in the middle of her dress-fitting, he was feeling rather chipper with himself. He truly believed that he’d gained the upper hand when it came to placing a true divide within Lorenzo and Eleanor’s relationship.Having planted that terrible thought in Eleanor’s head
“But, Lorenzo, hear me out!” I shouted from across the study. “You know it would be a smart choice than to wait any longer.”Lorenzo planted a firm hand on his hip and gave me a stern, disapproving look. “Eleanor, for Christ’s sake, be reasonable. Please.”Ever since he and I discovered the hidden f
