Mom and I ended up watching one of her favorite romantic comedy movies from the 50’s, this movie with Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra. Throughout the entire movie, I tried not to think about Liam. But it was so hard not to. Even though Liam and I had grown up as next-door neighbors, and I had someti
Liam whispered, “Maybe you should get some sleep, Ella.” I narrowed my eyes, “You are scared of me. When I do this, does that scare you?” I put my finger against Liam’s lips. “Or how about when I do this?” I slid my hand down Liam’s chest. “What about this. Does this make you scared of me?” I plac
“Mom?” I said as I looking between Liam and my mother.Mom glanced back at me and smiled, “Oh, honey, you’re awake.”“What’s going on?” I said. I couldn’t take my eyes of Liam who was sitting comfortably on our couch, his arm thrown casually over the back.“Liam came over because I guess you guys ar
Liam put his hand over my mouth, “Trust me, I didn’t do anything that I wasn’t already dreaming of doing to you.”My body temperature immediately started to rise. The way he was looking at me, I just knew he was reliving every detail of the night we’d spent together.Liam started his car, making sur
When we got to the top of the mountain, I turned to Liam, my eyes boring into him, “Look, Liam, I want you to remember, that not everybody is excellent at everything.” My voice was shaky as the cold swallowed my body.I wish it was just the cold that I was worried about.Being up at the top of the s
All the other wolves around were dwarfed compared to Liam’s massive size. Liam was so much larger and more majestic. A true Alpha. His silver fur glistened like diamonds.He walked right up to me, his eyes never leaving mine. There was a wildness to them that I had never seen in Liam in his human f
“Noah, please just leave me alone,” I pleaded. My heart pounded. It was dark in the single bathroom but the light from the moon outside allowed me to get a clear view of Noah’s face. He looked almost, crazed.“I will leave you alone just as soon as you tell me why you decided to throw yourself at my
“Leave my birth parents out of this, Ava,” I growled, my head getting hot with anger. How dare she think she had any right to invoke their names.“You know I’m only speaking the truth,” Ava said, a smirk on her face. “You might have forgotten where you really came from but trust me, there are other
But that chance was almost taken from me tonight. Had we not gone to see him, the man would have been dead. I can’t let Ella’s mother face the same fate. It needs to stop. All of it. “Alright,” I said firmly. I reached down to grasp Ella’s hand. “I know I kept saying that we needed to wait unti
The car ride back to campus was kept in complete silence. What was there to say? Aaron had been brutally attacked by his own wife and was basically left there to bleed out...That, in itself, was proof that Cecilia had truly lost her mind. What’s even scarier was that apparently, she’s lost contr
They narrowed their eyes. “Well, see about that.” “I just had a very bizarre meeting with Cecilia.” All the blood drained from their faces. Their jaws had all collectively hit the ground and I was certain one of them was going to shout. Liam growled under his breath. “...Ella.” I urged the
I had to do my best to not show fear. The very thought of my mom being put at risk over something that had nothing to do with her was enough to cause my anger and stress levels to rise. I fought to keep my voice as even as possible even though I wanted nothing more than to hurl myself over the t
It didn’t seem like Cecilia was the type to give up. Aaron had certainly warned us all enough times that the woman wasn’t to be underestimated. Yet, it seemed like she had dropped off the face of the earth. With something as big as the Winslow name and reputation at stake, there was no way that sh
[Arthur’s POV] I stared back at the man who, for the better part of my life, was never really present. I suppose in a way, Aaron was just as much absent in my life as he was for Liam. I hadn’t ever really considered that we shared something so personal in common. Something in my gut was tellin
Liam shook his head. “None whatsoever,” he stated. “I told Aaron that my true interests lie in professional hockey.” Wow. Why had I always thought that Liam wanted the title the same way I thought that I wanted it? Then again, it took me a long time to realize that I didn’t much want the positio
[Arthur’s POV] I was stunned. It wasn’t often that I ever found myself at a loss for words. But the statement Ella had just said was nearly enough to knock the very air from my lungs. Surely she wasn’t being serious... In those few seconds in which she’d spoken and all the air had collective
[Ella’s POV] Today was the day in which the hospital finally cleared Liam to leave. He was allowed to return to campus and resume his usual schedule while keeping his physical activity limited. He still needed to be mindful of certain things like carrying too much weight and overextending himsel
