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]Rudolf stared at James as though he’d truly lost his mind. His brows furrowed together in confusion. “What the hell are you talking about?” he questioned sharply. “How could that not be Evelyn?”“You said it yourself, Evelyn would never do something as horrible as shoving another person
Between the incident of falling down the stairs and having that conversation with James earlier, my nerves were thoroughly shaken. On top of that, my muscles ached and I was in deep need of either a long bath or a long nap.But from the startled look on Emily’s face, after I’d closed the door on Jam
What did he just say?No. Surely, I’d heard him wrong...My entire body froze on the spot, my mind went blank, as I openly gaped at James. I was stunned beyond words. I couldn’t even find the words to piece together a proper sentence.Suddenly, the look on James’ face started to shift into a look of
I was devastated. Numb. That mysterious magnetic pull that had been pulsing within my chest for weeks finally made sense. I never knew where it came from or why it was there, to begin with—had it actually been my wolf trying to reach out for James this whole time?It perfectly explained why I always
I spent a good half of the morning digging through my bag to find something remotely decent to wear to my lunch with Ben. It wasn’t as though I was trying to impress anyone, but the thought of going anywhere in sweatpants and an oversized hoodie seemed a bit inappropriate.I felt like I needed to ma
[James’ POV]James truly didn’t know what to do with himself. He felt as though the earth beneath his feet had split open and was threatening to swallow him whole.In the span of the last twenty-four hours, he’d become convinced that he had single-handedly ruined his relationship with Mia.‘Everythi
[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
