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
Lorenzo and I haven’t spoken much since our rather jarring conversation in the car last night. He demanded that I take a break from working on the case and I thought he was utterly insane for forcing me to do so. But, he was right. I did need a break—from the case, from the house, and perhaps even
‘Oh, this son of a bitch came out here merely to taunt us,’ my wolf said with a snarl. Yes. I was purely convinced that the only reason why someone like Cruz would go out of his way to come out to a random place like this was to either torment me or try and talk up more about the deal that he want
I saw the heated anger flare behind Lorenzo’s eyes. Oh, shit. My blood ran cold at the realization that he was very likely picking up Cruz’s distinguishable scent which must have clung to me after he and I parted ways at the cafe. It was overly musky and a bit too much on the senses. Of course,
Eleanor was speechless. Had he really just said what she thought she heard? In the midst of his yelling and fit of anger, Lorenzo told her he loved her...Was it true? Ever since Lorenzo made his way back into Eleanor’s life, she’d been in an ongoing battle with herself when it came to her feelin
I felt the pride of my alpha and relished the sweet feeling of being held tightly in his arms. I was beyond glad that we were able to clear the air as well as I began discussing the details of our mating ceremony. Lorenzo and I thought it would be best to schedule the ceremony within the next two
Lorenzo had every intention of telling Eleanor his plans about meeting with Cruz. However if he had told her, she would no doubt insist upon attending the meeting with him. And that would not have been ideal. What Lorenzo needed was for Cruz to speak frankly and directly with him. He needed to kno
It came as no surprise that Lorenzo and I were summoned once again to the palace on such short, immediate notice. Ever since the official story came out in the papers, regarding Lucy Grant’s death, it was only a matter of time before the Lycan Luna would’ve tried to reach out again. Of course, I a
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
