" What's that noise outside?" I asked. " Just trash I asked the security team to throw away," he answered, and I cocked an eyebrow. " Trash that talk?" I asked slowly. " Anything is trash lately," I rolled my eyes and went outside. Luis followed me. I muffled a chuckle at what I saw. Jace a
I held Lilac by her shoulders, and she leaned into me. I was two inches taller than me, so it was comfortable. " Lilac, Lilac, I- That woman, whatever she told you. I love you so much," he was agitated. He couldn't even formulate coherent sentences. Lilac was just speechless, so I did the best t
Ellis " Do you still want to marry, Mommy?" My beautiful princess asked me. Her big blue eyes were looking at me, waiting for a response. I could hear Love's heart racing in her chest. I looked at her as I gave my true answer. " Yes, I want to marry your mommy," I answered. It was true, I wanted
I decided to drive as we went back to the city. Jace was in no condition to. " Jace, what happened?" I didn't want him to feel like I was judging him. I wanted him to know I understood and be his ear. He dealt with my shit when Love left me. I was a mess and unbearable to be around, but he stood
Ellis has been surprising me. I honestly thought the thrill of fatherhood would wear off, but it didn't. He visited the kids when he could. He did school drop-offs and had meals with them. He took over Luis' responsibilities in their lives, and now my brooding best friend was jealous. " He even rep
" You're brooding," David said softly. He took steps towards my desk. " Ellis, we -" I bit my tongue hard after that name escaped my lips. David stopped in his tracks, his eyes were ferocious. " Ellis?" he scoffed, crossing his arms against my chest. I went to him instantly, holding his arms.
" Yes. You'll always be my center, Love,"My vision blurred after his words. My heart was palpitating in my chest. Something within me stirred, and my heartbeat quickened.. I hated my feelings right now. Why did his words hold so much power over me?“ Don’t you think it’s a little unfair?” I asked,
LoveI went back home after work. The twins were already back and doing their homework with Luis's help. I wore leggings, a training bra, and white sneakers. I quickly braided my hair into two French braids before going to the gym. I needed to train and release tension from my body. Ellis' words to
" I just said it once in front of the little hybrid," Zephir snickered, carrying Adan and throwing him in the air. My son giggled, and I smiled, looking at him. " Where's your husband?" Asked Egon, frowning. " He went to the office, but he'll be back soon," I answered. Egon's phone beeped and hi
Harry chuckled, " Kidnapped?" " Yes," I told him everything that happened. " So what is your choice?" he asked. I didn't know either. I still loved Aerys but didn't want to be unfair to Chuck. " I don't know, Harry, I'm so confused, but I have to decide dawn," " Choose Aerys," he suddenly
Elizabeth I couldn't stop thinking about how I felt feeding from the alpha. It was like I was renourished, and my strength and feelings for him intensified. I sighed and continued to brush my hair. I joined Aerys in the bedroom; he was already ready to go outside. " Human breakfast?" he smiled at
I went to the shower and took a cold bath. Then, I snuggled in bed with her and pulled her closer to me. I woke up late the following morning. It was the first time I'd slept in, and I slept well. Elizabeth was already awake, watching me. " Good morning," I greeted her with a smile. She looked a
" Uncle, make sure everyone knows that Elizabeth is back and inform them of new developments," I said. He bowed and nodded. I dialed my sister, Love, who answered on the first ring. " Hey, brother," He was silent for a moment. " I saw her," I told her " Who?" " Elizabeth, I saw her when I
Elizabeth Drowsily, my eyes fluttered open, but I closed them because the sun was glaring right into them. Slowly, I opened them again. I winced at the throbbing headache I felt. I was in an unfamiliar room. Wait, no, it wasn't unfamiliar. I sat up in a panic. However, I heard something metallic. W
" But why were we escaping Princeton? Isn't he like your fiance?" Coswell asked, and I growled. " Look, what I said was the truth. My parents wanted me to marry Princeton, but I refused. That's why I left the clan. Years later, Princeton finds me and fabricates evidence against me to turn you all
Aerys I urgently needed to return home, but I couldn't leave without Elizabeth. My mate had been skillfully evading any one-on-one interactions with me. But this time, I managed to corner her alone at the minibar. " Do you want something in particular?" she asked, not turning to me as she rumma
" Elizabeth, I know you're there," Tonga said. I sighed and went to the door, still covering myself with a fleece. I opened it, and she smiled at me. Tonga stood there awkwardly for a moment, not knowing what to say. Like Aerys and the rest, she, too, believed what they were saying about me. " I'
