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
It was no mystery that James was greatly pissed-off with me. But the real challenge was trying to figure out which issue was currently ranking in first place.Was he mad at me for not having made the appointment with the seamstress? Was it because I met up with Michael? Or was it because I was still
Even though my initial plan was to head straight to Emily’s, I couldn’t ignore the massive pain that ached in my side. Not to mention the overwhelming fear of something potentially being wrong with my baby, having taken that harsh tumble down the stairs.No. Instead of heading to Emily’s, I directed
[James’ POV]‘I fucked up,’ James thought darkly to himself. ‘I fucked up massively.’He remained in that same spot at the bottom of the staircase ever since he watched Mia leave the house. The wolf within him, including every nerve in his body, was arguing for him to follow after her.But, somehow,
As soon as Dr. Harold had cleared me to leave the hospital, Emily and I finally headed to her place. The moment the door clicked shut behind us, I was instantly crowded by a furious-looking Emily who yanked us over toward the couch.She narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. “Alright
[James’ POV]James was not liking where this conversation was headed. Of course, when he first had the idea to go after Mia, he hadn’t entirely thought out what he was planning on saying to her. Apart from checking in on her physical state, it wasn’t as though he was capable of talking her into retu
[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
