Midnight Flight for Hot Chocolate

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-06 14:48:20

The silence between them faded now, less.

Isla's breathing had steadied, though her mind still raced with the implications of what she had seen about Selena.

It was just a dream. Pull yourself together!

She looked up at Liam, her eyes searching his.

"You said you'd help me forget," she whispered. "How are you planning to do that?"

A slow smile spread across Liam's face, the kind that always made her heart skip a beat. It was mischievous, tender, and utterly disarming all at once.

"Well," he said, reaching for his phone on the nightstand, "first things first." He pressed a button, and the device lit up, illuminating his face in a soft blue glow. He scrolled through his contacts and pressed call.

Isla watched, puzzled, as he waited for someone to answer.

At this hour? Who could he possibly be calling?

"Marcus," Liam's voice was authoritative yet casual. "I need hot chocolate sent up to the master suite. The good kind, with the whipped cream and those little marshmallows Isla likes."

    The take-off was smooth, the powerful engines pushing them back into their seats as the jet climbed rapidly into the night sky. Below them, New York City spread out like a constellation of earthbound stars, a mirror to the actual stars above them."It's beautiful," Isla whispered, pressing her palm against the cool window.Liam leaned over, his breath warm against her ear. "Not as beautiful as you."She turned to him, ready to playfully accuse him of being cheesy, but the sincerity in his ocean eyes stopped her. There was something profound in his gaze, something that transcended romantic platitudes."When I saw you wake up like that," he said quietly, "terrified, haunted... it broke something in me. I would fly you to the moon for hot chocolate if it would chase away that look in your eyes."Isla's heart swelled, emotion clogging her throat. She reached out, tracing the strong line of his jaw with her fingertips. "My fierce, protective wolf," she murmured."Always," he promised.The

    The Lockwood jet touched down on the private airstrip just as dawn was breaking over the horizon. Isla stirred from her dreamless sleep, her body feeling more rested than it had in weeks. Without her wolf constantly prowling beneath her skin, sleep came easier now—deeper and more peaceful. She blinked away the remnants of slumber and gazed out the window as the mansion came into view, its grand silhouette outlined against the pale morning sky."Sleep well?" Liam's voice was a warm rumble beside her.Isla turned to find him looking refreshed despite not having slept at all during their trip back from Montreal. Being a werewolf—a powerful Alpha at that—meant Liam could go days without proper rest if needed. His supernatural stamina was yet another reminder of the wolf she no longer possessed."Better than I have in a long time," she admitted, stretching her arms above her head. "I didn't even realize I'd fallen asleep until we were halfway back."Liam's fingers traced the curve of her

    "Isla!" Her mother's voice cut through her thoughts, high and delighted in a way Isla had never heard directed at her before. "Darling, there you are!"All conversation at the table ceased as every head turned toward the doorway. Isla felt Liam's hand press reassuringly against her lower back, grounding her as seven pairs of eyes fixed on them."Good morning," Liam's deep voice filled the room, commanding attention without effort—the natural authority of an Alpha. "I trust everyone slept well?""Exceptionally," her father answered, rising from his seat with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. "Your hospitality is unmatched, Alpha Lockwood."Alpha Lockwood. Not Liam. The formality wasn't lost on Isla, nor was the respect—bordering on obsequiousness—in her father's tone. This was the same man who had once dismissed her dreams of finding her fated mate as "unrealistic given her limitations as a wolf-less.""Please, join us," her mother urged, gesturing to the two empty seats at the

    The sleek private jet gleamed in the morning sunlight as Isla reluctantly made her way up the stairs. Behind her, her family's excited chatter grated on her nerves like sandpaper. They had barely contained their elation since Liam's unexpected invitation, and now, faced with the reality of the Lockwood family's private aircraft, they made no attempt to hide their awe."This is absolutely magnificent," her mother exclaimed, running her manicured fingers along the polished wooden paneling inside the cabin. "I am flying private to Paris for lunch! Who would have thought?"Isla winced at her mother's theatrical tone. The woman who had once told her that dreams were for people who couldn't face reality was now behaving like a child in a candy store.Her father wasted no time claiming one of the plush leather seats, immediately testing its reclining function and the various buttons on the armrest.

    The flight to Paris passed in much the same manner—her family consuming expensive food and drinks, making false statements about places they'd never been, and peppering Liam with questions about his business and personal wealth. Isla retreated further into silence, responding only when directly addressed, her discomfort growing with each passing hour.By the time they landed at Le Bourget Airport, Isla felt emotionally drained. A sleek black limousine awaited them on the tarmac, another display of Lockwood luxury that her family exclaimed over with unrestrained enthusiasm."We'll be going directly to Avenue Montaigne," Liam informed them as they settled into the vehicle. "It's home to some of the world's most exclusive boutiques.""Oh, I've read about it in magazines," her mother gushed. "Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton—all the finest brands!""Indeed," Liam agreed. "And today, you're welcome to explore them all."The drive through Paris was a blur of elegant architecture and tree-lined

    Isla maintained a carefully neutral expression as the shopping spree continued. Her family moved from boutique to boutique along Avenue Montaigne like conquering heroes, leaving a trail of empty champagne flutes and enthusiastic salespeople in their wake. She had positioned herself slightly apart from them, standing beside Liam as a silent observer to the spectacle."Do you think this scarf complements this purse?" her mother called out, holding up a silk Hermès scarf against a Chanel handbag.Before Isla could respond—not that her opinion had ever mattered—Clara stepped in. "The colors clash, Mother. Try the blue one instead." Her sister's tone carried the same authoritative certainty that had dominated Isla's childhood, the same assumption that her judgment was inherently superior.Isla bit the inside of her cheek and said nothing.

    Isla's feet were already aching, and it was only noon on the first day of her wedding shopping spree. With just five days left until she would become Mrs. Lockwood, the pressure was mounting. New York City spread before her like a shopper's paradise, each glittering storefront promising the perfect addition to what would undoubtedly be the most important day of her life."I think we need to establish some kind of system," Miranda suggested, pulling out her phone and opening her notes app. "We've got two days to get everything, and the list is pretty extensive."Taylor nodded in agreement, adjusting her sunglasses as they stood on the corner of Fifth Avenue. "Let's divide and conquer. What's first on the list?"Isla pulled out her own meticulously crafted wedding checklist. The column of unchecked boxes seemed to stretch endlessly.

    Isla stepped into the grand foyer of Lockwood Mansion, her arms loaded with shopping bags from the most exclusive boutiques in the city. The wedding preparations had been exhaustive, but she was determined to make every detail perfect. As she crossed the marble floor, the sound of her heels echoed against the high ceilings. Liam emerged from the study, his dark suit impeccably tailored, his ocean-blue eyes immediately locking onto her.“Isla,” he said, his voice deep and laced with a hint of longing. “You’re finally back. I’ve missed you.”She paused, setting the bags down with a soft thud. “Missed me? I’ve only been gone a few hours. You act like I’ve been away for weeks.”Liam smirked, closing the distance between them in a few long strides. “When you’re out there, drowning in lace and silk, it feels like an eternity. Especially when I know you’re picking out that dress.” His gaze flickered to the largest bag, the one she knew held the wedding gown. “The one you won’t let me see.”

    With renewed energy, they set off again, this time heading for the flagship stores of some of New York's most prestigious designers. The afternoon passed in a blur of luxury boutiques, attentive salespeople, and increasingly promising options.It was in the third designer store that Isla found it—not a wedding dress at all, but a stunning floor-length gown in the window display. It was ivory rather than pure white, with a flowing silhouette that would move beautifully as she walked down the aisle. The bodice was intricately structured, strapless with a sweetheart neckline that would showcase her collarbones and the delicate gold necklace Liam had given her for her birthday last year."That's it," Isla breathed, pointing to the window. "That's my dress."The saleswoman smiled. "An excellent choice. That's from our newest collection. Would you like to try it on?"The next twenty minutes were a flurry of activity. Taylor and Miranda were ushered to a plush seating area, complete with cha
