LOGINWithout so much as an arguing word, the men moved. Indeed, Arthur had inherited my ability to compel. I was quick to spot Cecilia standing in the center of the large, main room. She looked anxious and eager to see her son. When she spotted Arthur, her eyes lit up with pure excitement. “I knew
[Ella’s POV] I felt like I was floating on a cloud. At first, it seemed like I was being torn to pieces. The pain that resonated within me—it was like a fire had been set to burn beneath my skin. Every nerve was spiraling and coiling beyond control. I almost begged them both to stop. But then,
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

I don’t know how it was possible, but Liam deepened his kiss as he placed his other hand on my lower back. I’d thought that the feelings that were coursing through me were from Liam and I mate bonding. But… what if I was wrong. Maybe what I was feeling was normal. Well, not normal, I knew what a n
“You want to know where mine and Noah’s favorite date spots used to be?” I asked, surprised by Liam’s questions.
