~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~I couldn’t believe it.Was it Liam’s? He had gone behind my back that quickly?He wanted an heir so badly that he got busy with Sophia the very moment she crawled back to him!My stomach turned, and I felt sick and dizzy.So it really was all about my infertility. Liam had promised me count
~Grace~ Being here gave me the creeps. My skin crawled as I stepped cautiously through the forest. Unfortunately, I had been here enough times to know my way. I didn’t know how Christopher would react when he saw me. Would he be mad I left him on the boat, or happy to see that I sought him out
~Grace~ “Come in,” the voice on the other side of the door called. It had to have been the Lycan Elder, it sounded croaky and coarse. I had just knocked on the door to his room, and I fidgeted with the hem of my shirt nervously. I knew this would likely be a hard conversation to have, and with
~Grace~ “Alex, I really think we should trust her,” I pleaded, standing between Alex and the doorway. I knew it wouldn’t be an easy task to convince Alex not to attack the Nightshade pack, but I had to try. I didn’t trust that he wouldn’t just push past me and leave on his own, so I had let Enzo
I clenched my jaw. I wasn’t sure how honest I wanted to be with Liam about the situation… After all, Alex and Liam were still rivals. Although Liam seemed to come to terms with his feelings with me, I wasn’t sure the same had been done with Alex. If I told him too much information, he could use it
~Grace~ “What on earth are you talking about?” Liam asked, waving his hands at me. His brows were pressed together in deep confusion. I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. I knew it was the middle of the night, but I had expected Liam would have some idea of this story… I told him everyt
~Grace~ “It’s my fault,” Alex said, sitting on the bed, his back to me. The moon highlighted his outline, and his shoulders slouched forward. I’d never seen him look so defeated. Usually, he was full of life, full of spark and determination. Nothing bested the Lycan King, but now here he was,
~Grace~ “You’re beautiful,” Alex whispered into my neck, and I shivered. It was a little cold in the hotel room. There weren’t many options to choose from, and we ended up staying in a small, lodge motel to spend the night out of the rain. While here, Alex had been able to use the front desk’s
I just couldn’t believe it. Not yet, not without evidence. It’s not that I distrusted Alex, it’s just that… there was something strange about this whole situation. It’s odd that I never heard anything about it from Liam or his mother. I didn’t even know Liam’s mother knew my parents to begin wit
~Grace~ “You have to confront him!” I told Alex, pacing the small floor of the medical room. Alex sighed, his brow furrowed. I could tell he was frustrated. “Grace… is reuniting with you not enough?” I let out a short hiss of air. Why was he being difficult about this? This didn’t just affec
