I frowned, feeling insulted as a thought popped into my head.He just sees me as a nanny! Of course he does! Me, a woman with nowhere to go, no responsibilities to attend to at the moment–he just thinks of me as nothing other than a maid!Fortunately, my years of strict etiquette training kicked in
~Grace~What was I supposed to wear to the event? I couldn't show up looking like this, I’d be better off not going at all. I’d only bring myself further disgrace. I turned around to look at Alex, feeling silly. What would he think of a request like this? I’m sure he hadn’t even thought about my c
“King Alexander can afford it, I promise,” Enzo continued, reassuring me.“Oh, no, that’s-” I winced. I hadn’t meant to insult the Black Lycan clan. “I’m sure he can. I just didn’t expect him to.”“Of course. You are our guest, after all,” he said with a smile. “Now please, don’t even check the pric
~Grace~The room was silent as everyone’s eyes watched me. I was the dazzling star of the night, and I outshone even the Alpha King.Liam, who had been smiling at a guest, froze. I stared right at him, watching the smile fade from his eyes, even though it stayed on his lips.Yes, look at me. Look at
“Don’t touch m-” I started, when I felt a strong embrace grab my waist and pull me away from Liam.I was gracefully spun around, and I found myself face-to-face with Alex, who held me close to his chest. He gave me a cocky smile. He had placed himself between Liam and I.Oh my goddess. I felt myself
~Grace~Alex moved his face close to mine, and I instinctively leaned away. What was he doing?I felt blood rush to my face, and my ears burned.“I-I-” I was at a loss for words. For once, I couldn’t hide the fact that he flustered me.Alex cracked a smile, and I scowled, pulling my face away from h
~Grace~“The rare moonstone earrings are sold to the Lycan King!” The auctioneer announced.“Hand-crafted from the finest moonstone, they are the only pair of their kind in the world! A suitable prize for the Lycan King,” he continued.Alex gracefully walked down the aisle, heads turning to watch hi
~Grace~“ALPHA KING LIAM REPLACED HIS LUNA FOR AN OMEGA AT CHARITY BANQUET!”Headlines reporting on the fiasco between Liam, Alex, and I came out the very next morning, and were plastered on the front page of every news site.Everyone was talking about it.This had been the first backlash Liam had e
~Grace~ Alex’s hot breath breezed across my skin as his wet tongue licked my cut. I stared at him, dumbfounded. What was he doing? Tasting the blood? Cleaning it? There was water for that! “A-Alex-” I finally stuttered out, not sure what to say. His eyes were closed, and he only gave a gentl
~Grace~ How were the Rogues getting the upper hand? I thought the Black Lycan clan was fierce and powerful! None of the other packs dared to mess with them. Looking around the garden, I watched in horror as Lycans women retreated, chased by the Rogues. Alex tore through the battlefield, a blac
~Grace~Dancing with the Lycan King at his castle in front of his whole clan was not on my checklist for this year.Although I had danced with him once before during the charity banquet, this time, it felt different. More intimate and personal. And I felt… nervous?We both danced gracefully, flowing
~Grace~I look at myself in the mirror, wearing the dazzling moonstone necklace and earrings Alex had given me. I’m dressed in a tight, black dress–the signature color of the Black Lycan clan. I didn’t want to wear something that would make me stand out too much.I fidgeted with my hair, moving stra
~Grace~“I can’t believe he did that!” I shouted, into the night, enraged.“I know,” Alex responded, without emotion.“What crazy, delusional-” I started, but Alex placed a hand on my shoulder. He had an odd smile on his face.What was he thinking? Nothing about this situation was funny!“Liam and S
~Grace~Where am I?It was dark and cold, and I felt hard, uncomfortable ground beneath me. Groaning, I pushed myself up off of the ground, my arms feeling heavy.What happened? The last thing I remembered was looking for Samuel in the forest, and then I heard a noise…My heart dropped. Oh, no! Had
Rolling my eyes, I put it back down. Liam had texted me at least a hundred times within the last couple hours, and now she was texting me too? As if she cared. Liam probably asked her to, since I wouldn't respond to him.I continued writing, trying to remember where I left off. Right…, Alex showed m
~Sophia~“What the hell were you thinking?!” Liam’s voice roared.I stepped back, feigning tears, immediately lowering my head. “I-I’m sorry-”Secretly, I scowled at him, my face hidden, pointed to the floor. So what if I had ordered the seafood platter instead of the charcuterie board for the banqu
~Liam~“Alpha,” Sophia whispered, wrapping her cold arms around my neck from behind, “You look unwell. Are you in pain? Perhaps I can ease it a bit.”I sat in my bedroom, where Grace used to stay. It felt so empty without her. I sighed, staring at her abandoned belongings, still boxed up in suitcase
