[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
I couldn’t breathe.I couldn’t think—shit! I could hardly even see within three feet in front of me. My vision had become completely obscured by the amount of tears that came flooding down my face.Worst of all, my heart ached in a way I hadn’t felt since I attended my dad’s funeral.I couldn’t bear
My eyes slowly blinked open and I gradually worked through my blurred vision. For a moment, I wasn’t sure where I was. The last thing I remembered, I was kneeling on the floor of the bathroom in the guest room and vomiting my brains out.Based on the dark-colored walls and familiar four-poster bed f
Over the next few days, Lorenzo and I were practically inseparable. Well, mainly it was Lorenzo who was refusing to leave my side.Aside from resuming our work on the case, he and I were finally sitting down and making some serious headway on the bonding ceremony.We decided to have the event take p
“I don’t know about this, Lorenzo,” I said warily.For most of the morning, Lorenzo had been filling me in on the remaining details of what he’d discovered on Carter Braxton and my father’s involvement. By the end of our discussion, Lorenzo made the unsettling conclusion that we needed to inform the
While Eleanor was taking her call out in the hallway, Lorenzo took the opportunity to speak privately with the Lycan Luna. He fully intended to relay everything to Eleanor later on. But what he wanted was to speak as openly as possible with the Luna.Lorenzo found it odd that the Prince was nowhere
Lorenzo carefully took the rings out of the case and handed them over to Eleanor for the moment. Turning his attention back toward the small, velvet box, he gently shook it again and swiftly concluded that there had to be something inside.Both Eleanor and Lorenzo shared a look of confusion. What th
“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
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
