BECKYGrief was my middle name since the fire accident that took Seven's life happened. Not only had I not heard from Alaric, I had also refused to go home regardless of how many times my father called.I was afraid that he would try to broker peace between us. And that was the last thing I wanted. Alaric deceived me, so I must have my revenge. I had spent days holed up in a hotel, crying and scheming.Alaric had only one source of motivation. He killed Seven because he wanted Winter. Since he destroyed my only chance at true love, I was going to do the same to him.I had to kill that bitch too!Putting my hair up in a tight bun, I stared at my horrifying reflection in the mirror. This wasn't good. If I showed up looking like this, Winter would smell something fishy.I grabbed a lipstick and brushed it over my lips. Then, I applied some foundation and powder. Once I was convinced that I no longer looked like a widow who had just been through hell, I stuffed the necessary gadgets into
BECKYLot's wife had nothing on me as I froze on the spot. What was happening? Was I seeing things now? Was all the crying I did for days finally catching up with me? How in the world was I seeing Seven now? It was him, wasn't it? Or was it that impostor? But how did the impostor know my name? I had never met him!Someone please tell me what the hell going on before I lose it!"Becky?" the man called out again as he got out of the car. He walked over to me with an unreadable expression on his face.Strangely, the soldiers let go of me. I looked at them and asked, "Are you seeing this? Are you guys really seeing this man?"They gave me looks that clearly said their minds; is this woman crazy?"Becky Williamson, you look like you have seen a ghost."Once the man spoke again, I shuddered. I also felt butterflies in my belly the same way I felt whenever Seven called my full name."Seven! Is it really you?" I took a step towards him.He nodded. "Yeah.""Oh, my God! I thought you were dead.
SEVENBecky jumped, almost startling me. She scratched her temple. "Oh, you are back!"I handed her the glass of water and sat down beside her. "Where's Dawn?""Oh!" she exclaimed again and then took a sip of the water. "She went upstairs after saying something about a doll."Glancing upstairs, I assumed Dawn went up to play. I faced Becky again. "So, who was that on the phone?""No...no one."My brows knitted. How could she say no one when I overheard her tell someone good luck and at the same time say she wasn't going to forgive that person? Not that it was my business anyway, but since when did Becky start keeping secrets? She was always so chatty."If you say so," I finally said with a shrug.Becky raised the glass to her lips and took a tiny sip again. I watched her lashes flutter and couldn't help but notice that her eyes were sunken. "So, why are you here?"After a small cough, she set the glass on the table and wiped her lips with the back of her hand. Without looking at me,
SEVENTo say that I was both confused and impatient would just be putting it lightly. Nothing Tyrone was saying made sense. I just wanted him to get on with it and tell me where the hell Winter was.That's if he even knew..."I know you must think that I betrayed you--"I roared, "I don't think, that's exactly what you did. You ghosted me when I needed you the most. Now, you show up here to tell me about a real enemy. You kidnapped Winter, didn't you?""I didn't!" Tyrone denied with his face twisted with hurt. "If you didn't mention it now, I wouldn't even have known she was kidnapped. And I didn't betray you, Alpha. I never would!"For some reason, his words made me hesitate. There was no trace of insincerity on his face. It was almost as if he was offended that I would accuse him. I took a deep breath. "If you don't know anything about it, what's this talk about a real enemy? Were you the one who sent me that text from a strange number a few days ago?"Tyrone nodded. "I know you mus
SEVEN"What surprise can be bigger than the one you already gave me?" I asked, despite the bad feeling I was getting.Why exactly did Tyrone know a lot about this bigger enemy when my father had barely told me about his past? I knew that there were enemies, but I never knew that there was one within.There was something strange about Tyrone. But somehow, I didn't feel threatened or scared around him. I just felt he couldn't be trusted. Why? I don't know...Tyrone looked at me with a brow raised. "Anyway, how I know all this isn't important now. I just told you what I know because I want to help you.""You want to help me?" I repeated suspiciously. "And how do you intend to do that?"He smiled. "I have some Intel on--""Hold on, please," I interrupted as soon as my phone rang out. I pressed it against my ear. "Please tell me you have good news!"The voice of one of the soldiers came through. "Yes, Alpha. I have good news.""Out with it!""Winter has just been booked to travel," he said
SEVENWinter let go of her head. When she looked up at me, I realized that she had lost so much weight. She wasn't this thin when I saw her at Dawn's birthday party. More so, it seemed she had been crying a lot.What happened to her?I was just about to say something when Winter pulled away from me and ran over to Alaric. She squatted beside him as the soldiers pressed him to the floor. "Honey, please tell me that guy is saying nonsense?""He is!" Alaric declared without skipping a beat. "He's a bad man. In fact, he was the one who caused your car crash.""What!" Winter and I exclaimed at the same time.I saw her look at me. Rage sparked in her eyes. I sensed her blood boiling at the same time. Suddenly, she pointed at me and cried, "So, it was you! You almost killed me. You caused the accident that took my precious daughter away from me!"For a second, I was speechless. What crash were they talking about? Winter's only bad encounter with a car recently was from the abduction which ha
WINTERThe moistness of Seven's lips threw me off guard. I wanted to pull away, but I found myself frozen. When he bit my lower lip hard, my whole world tilted.Sparks erupted in my closed eyes. Reels upon reels of pictures filled my head. There were images of Dawn in a princess gown. Then, there was an eruption. After that came the Seven's face. He was roaring at me. No, that's not him. That's...that's...I know him. But that's not Seven. That's... Oh, God! Why can't I reach that name?I was still struggling to remember that name when Seven parted my lips with his tongue and it found its way into my mouth. It sent a shiver through my gooey body. Images continued to pour into my head. No, they were more like motion pictures...videos. Seven's face appeared again. This time, he was smiling at me. He said something. When I read his lips, he seemed to say those magic three words. "I love you!"His voice sounded in my head at this time. "I love you, Winter, and I want you to be my Luna.""
SEVENNo one could tell me nothing. The sex Winter and I just had blew my mind. I had gone over this moment several times, but it never occurred to me that it would be this good. I couldn't have enough of her body. Fortunately, she felt the same way.When I finally came, we were both breathing heavily. I collapsed beside her and pulled her into my arms. It didn't take long before we both dozed off. It was already dark outside when I was awoken by the ringing of my phone. I looked at the pile of my clothes that lay on the floor and saw a light coming from the pocket of my pants."Shit! Who could that be?" I cursed as quietly as possible.Winter stirred in my arms. She turned away, her bare butt rubbing against my groin. I held my breath and groaned. I knew it was only a matter of seconds before my little man began to think for me.Quickly and gently, I pulled my arm from underneath Winter's head. I got out of bed and took out my phone. I pressed the volume button before even looking a
