“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
“Samuel, I’m so glad to see you,” I rushed out, breathless from the scare.He looked at me nervously, and slowly slid his hand off of the door handle. “What are you doing here?”He sounded cautious. Liam must have threatened him.I shook my head with a sigh. “I need your help. Do you know where Liam
~Grace~“I need to speak with you in person,” Alex told me. “I’ve already spoken to my lawyer, but I don’t want to discuss details over the phone.”I crossed my legs, leaning back on one hand, sinking into the mattress.“Where do you want to meet?” I asked, stiffly. I was still upset that he’d call
~Grace~ Alex took me by the hand, squeezing tightly. He took a deep breath before beginning. “I was still young… my mother, she… was murdered by human hunters.” I clenched my jaw, feeling empathy for him. I knew what it was like to lose your parents, and it was clear this memory still hurt him
~Grace~ Oh my god, Alex! No, no, no- Was he still alive? What was he doing out here?! I burst through the doors into the pouring rain, droplets and seawater pelting me. The rescuers must not have heard my entrance through the storm, none of them looked toward me. “Alex!” I shouted, rushing
~Alexander~ Waves tossed the boat around like it was a toy in a bathtub. I had to hold onto the wall to keep myself from falling over, but even then, I staggered from left to right to keep upright. The man steering the boat wasn’t doing any better than me, and I could tell that he was sweating,
~Alexander~ Of course she was in the middle of the goddamned ocean. Christopher must have lost his mind, thinking he could get away from me. There was nowhere Grace could go that I couldn’t find. I had to pull a few extra strings in order to find out exactly where she was, but it all came arou
~Grace~ Thunder cracked through the sky, and I had to cover my ears, squinting my eyes as a sudden burst of wind sprayed ocean water into my face. I had only been standing out here for a few minutes when the clouds suddenly darkened, rolling in right over my head. I had stared at them, thinking
Honestly, Christopher was a bit like the seagulls. He was a scavenger. Too weak and outcast to be a predator like the rest of the Alphas, always searching everywhere for a scrap of power to gain respect and recognition. But he saw something in me. Something that he knew would bring him that resp
~Grace~ One room?! My heart sank to the floor. Of course. I should have expected something like this. I didn’t even think when Christopher offered to take our luggage away that he’d only booked just one room. I sighed, annoyed. Of course I didn’t think. I hadn’t been. This whole trip w
~Alexander~ Grace was everything to me. She had been the one to turn my life around. Since I first saw her, I knew nothing would be the same. And it hadn’t. Grace had infiltrated my life, changing me in ways I never thought was possible. Until I met her, my primary objective had been regai
~Christopher~ He was going to come here, I knew it. I paced the floor of my room quickly, sweat running down my temple. I could still see his hulking figure in my doorway, that night he came to get Grace. I knew he could snap me like a twig. I’d seen his claws, even in his non-shifted form.
