I honestly never thought I would find myself back in another conference hall...Well, at least not so soon.The entire ordeal had come together much quicker than I would have anticipated. The moment we spoke to Daniel and told him what needed to happen, the man immediately set everything up. He’d boo
[James’ POV]James had been living in a rather melancholy state since his last real conversation with Mia before the conference.In truth, the man was devastated that his own mate had been feeling this way the whole time since they first got together. What was truly terrible was that James knew Mia
James Derek loves me...He told me, as well as an entire room full of people, that he loves me.I should have been happy, right? I should have been feeling utterly elated that he’d finally spoken his feelings about me.But, for some unknown reason, I found myself feeling rather numb. Numb and filled
It should have come as no surprise that Gavin Ellison’s party was being exclusively held on a luxury cruise ship. Before this, I was convinced that the hall where the Alpha Gathering had been held was the most elegant place I had ever been...Boy, was I wrong!The entire top deck of the ship was tast
I hadn’t told James about what happened with Michael. I didn’t want to cause any unnecessary drama by having to explain the fact that instead of returning to the room like I said I would, I ended up spending some decent time with Michael.God only knew the kind of scene that would have unfolded if J
It had been a couple of days since Evelyn returned and not a single person knew how to properly proceed with things around the house. Ever since the woman magically appeared back into everyone’s life, I felt like I was walking on eggshells.Many of the staff members would awkwardly shuffle around me
I felt my heart flip a few times as I stared down at my phone. I hesitated to answer Michael’s call, but I was still desperate for answers about what happened during the party.“...Hello?”Michael’s voice was filled with an unexpected amount of worry and concern. “Mia? Are you alright? How are you f
[James’ POV]James was never one to believe in miracles. In fact, when he lost Evelyn all those years ago, part of him was convinced that he was cursed. But when he saw her walk through the front doors of the house, he thought he’d been graced by some kind of miracle. But that came with a series of
[James’ POV]James was at a loss for words. Impossible. Completely impossible.He couldn’t believe what the screen was showing them all.“Edward,” he snarled.“That can’t be true,” Kristen hissed. “He’s supposed to be dead!”“Mm, perhaps not,” Lana said. “Remember, he didn’t take the Moon Tear direc
I couldn’t believe it. The day of the wedding was finally here. From what I could see upon my first arrival at the vineyard, everything looked perfect. Thanks to Diana, Lana, and Kristen, the place was decorated beautifully. Even though James was busy getting ready in his own room, I could tell th
Life had become fast and furious the moment I was cleared to return home with the babies. With the help of James, we returned to the house and were greeted by a very excited staff. Lily was absolutely losing herself when she first saw the twins bundled up in their swaddles.“Oh my goodness! Just loo
A Month Later...It seemed like many things had changed since the night Edward had vanished from all our lives. There was no longer that pending, dreadful sense of worrying looming over our heads. Many of James’ relatives had, undoubtedly, changed their outlook on me since that Crescent Moon Annual
Tonight was the Crescent Moon Annual Dinner event...and my anxiety was clearly on the rise.‘Get it together, Mia,’ I thought briskly to myself. ‘It’s just one evening, nothing you can’t handle.’My brother was awake and on the mend and I had been taking an excessive amount of honey supplements for
James and I had rushed back to the hospital as fast as when we first heard about the incident. By the time we reached the main desk, I was wheezing and out of breath.“Mia, for the love of God, please calm down,” James huffed.Honestly, had I not been pregnant, I would have gotten there faster...Non
I was thankful for the brief distraction my baby shower had offered. I hadn’t realized just how much stress and aggravation my body was undergoing until I took that much-needed break for myself.Although I was able to put my thoughts about my brother and his condition at ease for the time being, my
[James’ POV]James knew, deep down, that he was taking a huge risk being where he was. Hell, if anyone had told him that he would be back in David Durant’s home, sitting in front of the man himself, James would have broken out in excessive laughter.He fought for not only his life but the life of Mi
I felt utterly beside myself.For the past few days, I felt as though I’d been running on autopilot. Every morning I would get up and try to be functional in some way, but it was terribly difficult. The nursery was all but completed. What I needed was a distraction, something to occupy my time to ge
