Cruz Sterling was a man who felt like he was standing on top of the world. Finally.After everything he was forced to endure—all the demeaning and constant complaining from others, he was now the one in charge. He was the one giving the demands and making the orders.Now that he had his brother’s lo
Lorenzo knew that the tension between him and Eleanor was growing more and more by the day. He prayed that at some given point, his men would come back with at least something useful that could be used to connect the dots.Thankfully, it seemed that today was the day. While Eleanor kept herself bust
“Oh my God, Eleanor! You look beautiful!” Adeline exclaimed.‘Yeah...I just wish I felt beautiful,’ I thought to myself.I stood tall in front of the floor length mirror, wearing what had to be the most stunning dress I'd ever worn. Each dress I tried on before was equally as gorgeous, but it didn’t
By the time I made it back to the house, I was in a total daze. I didn’t even fully remember taking off the gown I was in, nor having said goodbye to Adeline. All I knew was that I needed to get back to the house as soon as possible.‘Cruz had to be lying,’ my wolf insisted. ‘There’s no way that Lor
Ever since that awkward, turbulent discussion Eleanor and Lorenzo had in his office, the house had become a silent war zone.Everyone on the property noticed the disconnect and unbreathable tension between them and were quick to avoid getting caught in the middle of anything. Whenever the two of the
Lorenzo was more than halfway through his meeting with a few representatives from a neighboring pack, Silver Moon. From what he could determine from the discussion they’d all been heavily engaged in for the last hour, things were looking very promising as far as forming a lucrative agreement went.H
“Alright,” Adeline sighed in defeat. She practically threw herself down onto one of the couches and let out a long sigh. “We’ve literally checked everywhere—and still no disk.”I allowed myself to collapse into one of the chairs across from her. My head fell back while trying to reevaluate the situa
[Lorenzo’s POV]‘Shit. Shit. Shit. SHIT!!’The moment Lorenzo’s guard had informed him about what he’d witnessed, seeing Eleanor coming out of his office with something tucked into her side, he knew he was deeply screwed.At first, he was doubtful. After all, he’d purposely locked the disk away in
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
