“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~I was back in my old house. I hadn’t been in my old bedroom for at least a week, and it looked like a mess.I held the moonstone earrings Alex had given me in the palm of my hand, turning them over. They glinted in the warm light of my bedroom.I hated being in here, hated pretending I had f
~Grace~ It didn’t hurt.Not like Liam’s, not like Chrisopher’s.It didn’t hurt at all.Was he even doing it?Was this how it was supposed to feel?It was as if he connected a part of his very soul to me. I felt a buzzing in my chest I couldn’t describe. It felt like he was just kissing my neck,
Alex’s POVWas this just another one of his manipulation tactics?I stood up, crossing my arms. I really didn’t even know what to say. I never expected an apology from Christopher of all people, I didn’t think he was capable.“I’m sorry I caused so many problems for you,” Christopher continued, his
~Grace~ “I can explain,” I quickly spilled, my heart pounding. This was awful. I never wanted him to find out this way, now it looked even worse. Not that it wasn’t bad before, but now it made me look five times more guilty. Alex stayed frozen, his hand still in my hair. I couldn’t read
~Grace~ “Close your eyes,” Alex whispered into my ear, his breath warm against my cool skin. I shivered. He held me by my waist as we stood face-to-face in his bedroom. My eyes fluttered close. What did he have in mind? I felt his hands slip away from my body, and I heard him walk somew
The Elder Lycan was locked away behind such a well-secured door in case he shifted again, but it seemed like he accepted his captivity, at least for now. Would he try to break free? Run away? But where would he even go? I had a bigger issue I needed to be concerned about as well. Could Alex an
~Grace~ Thank god everything worked. It was an ordeal getting everyone back on their feet. The entire clan had been affected by this curse, and everyone was hungry, cold, and exhausted. There were only a few of us who felt well enough to take care of people. Even Liam and his mother stay
~Grace~ “Over here!” Enzo’s voice carried through the room, and I turned around. He knelt beside Christopher, and my heart dropped. Oh, no. Had something happened? Had we waited too long? Was he okay? I ran over to Enzo and Christopher, and shifted back, standing tall. I looked over the bo
~Grace~ I thought he’d kill him. Alex had his hands wrapped around the Elder Lycan’s throat, his claws digging into the sides of his neck. The Elder Lycan thrashed on the ground, hitting at Alex’s arms, but Alex was like a statue. His expression was a mix of fury and anguish. Yes! Kil
~Grace~ The monster! The Elder Lycan caused this clan so much grief and pain, not to mention Liam’s mother and the ripple effect of mutual hatred it bred between werewolves and Lycans after all of these years! He truly was the worst person I knew. I growled, and Alex squeezed my hand. I s
