[James’ POV]‘A deal?!’ What in the actual hell was David talking about? ‘Has this man lost his mind?!’James was on the brink of seeing red. The anger that swirled and crashed within him was more than enough to awaken the feral creature inside of him. He couldn’t stop it—part of him didn’t even car
In all honesty, I wasn’t sure where James stood on this entire ordeal. Here, David was basically giving him an easy way out of our relationship—all he had to do was burn the marriage contract and it would be as though none of it had ever happened. Surely, his family would come up with some excuse to
Michael’s look of pure disbelief remained firmly in place as I shot up from the table. He shook his head and gave a frustrated look. Soon, the three of us were making our way down the hall toward the main entrance.“David, you can’t be serious about any of this.”“But, Michael, I thought you of all
After James helped me gain my bearings, the two of us carefully made it back to the car where we spent the majority of the ride back to the house in complete silence. I guess, part of me was grateful for that. I didn’t exactly know what to say.I’m sure there was a list of questions sitting, ready a
That following morning, I slowly got myself ready and headed toward the kitchen where I found Lily. The poor woman looked as though she had aged about ten years due to all the ongoing chaos. But the moment she saw me, she instantly perked up and practically rushed to my side.“Oh my God, my dear,” s
[Edward's POV]‘If you want a job done right, then you’re better off doing it yourself,’ Edward thought angrily to himself.Edward Derek was not having the best of luck when it came to getting his plans to follow through. The man felt like he’d been living in nothing but failure and the shadow of ot
“What is it?” he asks. “Do you think I will ever have my wolf fully with me? I mean, do you think...Will it always remain asleep?” She knows no one has the answers. James wraps his arms around her. “Wolf or not, I’ll love you either way.”Even in my massively pregnant state, I found myself back in t
[James’ POV]James was on edge. He had been since Mia first walked out of the house to stay with Emily. But now...Now things have become progressively worse. At first, he couldn’t understand why.Mia was back at the house, she and the babies were safe, and all was meant to be well. But something was
[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
