By the time we made it back to the house, most of the tears had stopped rolling down my cheeks and my breathing finally slowed down. I didn’t need a mirror to know that I probably looked like an emotional wreck. But, honestly, what did it matter? I could feel my eyes were puffy and doubt still red
[Lorenzo’s POV] “Come on, Lorenzo!” Eleanor called out from the doorway. Lorenzo was just about finished getting himself ready so they could head back out to the coroner’s office. The alpha had recognized a sudden shift in his Luna’s behavior quite recently. For the past couple of weeks, Elean
I stepped back into the hallway and was quickly met by a strong leading hand from Lorenzo. His expression was streaked with alarm and insistent that we needed to move on. My brows drew together in question. “What’s going on?” I asked quietly. The quiet, peaceful ambiance of the building somehow
[Cruz’s POV] Cruz had been pacing the length of his office for the past thirty minutes, contemplating the same one-word question that continuously tortured him for the past several months. ‘Why?’ Why on earth had he been plagued with such incompetent wolves? Why couldn’t a single one of them s
“Are you sure you’re ready to get into this?” Lorenzo asked. The effects of my previous panic attack were still somewhat lingering. One could tell from the slight tremble in my hand whenever I reached my arm out to grab something that my nerves were still jumpy. Lorenzo insisted that I allow my
Although the circumstances were dreadful and gruesome, our findings were successfully conclusive. Lorenzo and I were able to determine for a fact that all the bite marks that had been inflicted on poor Agatha were variously different. Which meant that the likelihood of her being part of some secret
“What the actual hell was that all about?” I asked under my breath. I was utterly puzzled. One moment everything was going perfectly fine and the next I was being told to basically pack up my things and leave. “Perhaps the Lycan Luna was just having an off day,” Lorenzo suggested passively. ‘O
This was not how either of them thought they'd be spending the remainder of their evening. Poor Lorenzo had finally built up the courage to speak up about the mating ceremony when suddenly that terrible call came through. He knew he had to tell Eleanor about it. He dreaded the thought of what that
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
