A knot formed in the pit of my stomach.“I apologize…” I said.“Were your achievements at the auction just a fluke then? Are you incapable of repainting that portrait?”“Sir, I—”“I expect better from my exclusive painters,” he scolded, and then he hung up before I could say another word.I looked a
I saw Barrett mingling with a few guests and sipping champagne. I took a deep breath before confronting him.“Can we talk?” I asked him as I approached.He turned his scrutinizing gaze in my direction and plastered a smile for his viewer's sake.“Miss Stormwind, you made it,” he said in greeting. “W
Silver’s POVMy heart was racing as I stared up at Elliot. Was he really the owner of this art gallery? Did that mean he was the one who sent me the invitation for the auction?My mind was whirling with different thoughts as Elliot turned to see a pale-faced Barret as he shrunk under Elliot’s scruti
I should have hidden it in my studio when I had the chance. It was hidden under a sheet and propped against the wall, so I had a chance to hide it from him, but he was faster than I.“What’s this?” He asked as he reached toward it.“Wait, don’t—” I tried to stop him, but he was too fast and lifted t
Silver’s POVI had framed my “exclusive” painting of Elliot on the wall in our bedroom right next to his model car collection. I smiled up at the painting, feeling satisfied with my hard work. Elliot walked into the room just then and froze when he saw it.A bemused look crossed his face as he exam
My cheeks burned as Leo explained the event.A pack gathering? The night of the full moon?This couldn’t be happening right now. I couldn’t attend a pack gathering during the full moon. I couldn’t attend any gatherings during the full moon.That was the one night of the month that I transformed into
The thought occurred to me, but I’m not sure how well I could pull it off.I suppose it couldn’t hurt to try.The following day, I remained in bed for most of the morning. Normally, I would be awake early so I could work on some paintings in my studio. But today, I was pretending to be incredibly si
“I love you, Mrs. Crown,” I said to her.“I love you, Alpha,” she said, with a wink.“Congratulations!” A voice said from nearby. I turned to see Silver’s friends coming to hug her. Cara, Alison, Emma, and Rebecca. Rebecca switched her allegiance to the Crown pack and now she works in my packhouse a
Silver’s POV“You shouldn’t be in here,” the mortician said as we walked into the cold room in the basement of the hospital. I had never been in a morgue before and I wasn’t sure what I was expecting. But it was dark and gloomy down here.“I need to see my husband,” I demanded.The mortician narrowe
Rebecca sat on the other side of my bed and wrapped her arms around me.“I was so worried about you,” she whispered. “Oh and get this… Stella was arrested for fraud!”I gasped and stared up at her.“What?”“She messed with the wrong painting,” Rebecca chuckled, shaking her head. “I might have put a
Silver’s POVI wasn’t out of it for long. My eyes immediately flew open, and I gasped as if I hadn’t been breathing this entire time. Whoever was sitting by my bedside was nearly thrown out of their seat and I heard a small squeal coming from her lips.“Get the doctor,” I heard another voice saying.

Silver’s POV“How is this possible?”She smiled at me.“Well, we were sent to the Moon Goddess world when we died,” she explained. “I was only an infant. In this world, things are different. We can never die because we are already dead, but we can age if we want to. There are tons of places to go an

Silver’s POV“Silver, my child. Wake up…” I heard a soft and very familiar voice saying.I moved my head, expecting to feel some sort of pain, but I felt nothing. I felt at ease and even the ache in my chest was gone. When I opened my eyes, I was staring up at the night sky. I was lying on a bed of
“Silver!” It’s over!” Charlotte cried. “You did it! You defeated Scott; his spell had been lifted!”That seemed to have brought me back to the current moment; I stopped stabbing Scott, and I let out a cry that I had never heard myself make before. Charlotte wrapped her arms around me and pulled me a
