“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
There was just one very obvious silent voice in the hall that taunted Liam.Liam felt like he had finally won. He had gotten things under control. I had come back to him, people were praising him.The last thing he needed to do to rectify his lost dignity was to humiliate Alex.I had stood politely
~Third person~“Well said, Alex,” Thor, Alex’s wolf, praised him.He looked Grace up and down possessively, taking in every curve, crease, and line on her body“Liam isn’t worthy of such a beautiful woman,” Thor growled, fuming that Liam’s hand was wrapped around her waist.Alex showed no change in
~Grace~No one dared make a sound. All eyes were on me.The news of the divorce floored everyone, including Liam, who was still kneeling next to Sophia, his hand on her shoulder.I glanced at him as he suddenly made a quick motion, pushing Sophia away. She fell back to the ground, and Liam stood up
~Grace~“Pack your things tonight, we’re leaving first thing tomorrow morning.”Alex’s words echoed through my head as I stood in the kitchen, hands covered in flour. I woke up extra early to ensure I could bake for the pack before Alex whisked me away to his castle.Alex was usually stern and comma
~Grace~ I must have blacked out because I don’t remember how I got on the floor. I opened my eyes groggily, realizing I was looking up at Alex’s concerned face. I scrunched my brows together, remembering the last thing I could–Alex in his lycan form jumping straight at me. It frightened me so mu
~Grace~ Life at the Black Lycan clan with Alex had been great. Every day felt like I was on vacation. I no longer had a crushing weight on my conscience of Liam bearing down on my every second of living. I blocked him on my phone, just for good measure. I didn’t know if he would try to reach out
~Grace~ “Someone can’t control herself,” Alex mumbled as his eyes fluttered open, a cocky smile on his face. Gasping, I drew back my hand, holding it close to my chest. My face was beet red, having been caught. I only wanted to feel the definition of his chest, I hadn't meant to wake him! “I-I
~Grace~ “Alex? Oh my god Alex please…” I cried, holding Alex’s head in my hands. I couldn’t stop the tremble in my voice. He had just collapsed in an instant, I had no idea he was this injured! He always hid everything so well. Why’d he have to be so stubborn! If I knew earlier, maybe I could
Liam lay on the ground, completely still. There was a moment of stillness where it felt like nobody breathed. Even the birds stayed grounded as time ticked by. A minute passed, and Beta Samuel slowly walked forward and knelt beside Liam. He looked him over for a moment before standing back up.
~Grace~ Alex was losing. He panted heavily, hunched forward as blood dripped from the cuts the shadowy figures gave him, staining the grass below. I bit my lip hard, nervous for him. I hated to see him hurt, and I didn’t want to see him lose to Liam of all people. While there weren’t any rules
~Grace~ I was speechless. Alex would give up everything he’s ever worked for just for me? The sun shone on Alex, and he looked like a dark angel, his golden eyes glittering like amber, and the light bringing out the brown undertones in his hair. His rich, warm, brown complexion shimmered, givi
“And you will never leave this property ever again,” Liam continued, his eyes wide with intent. Oh my god, he really meant it. My stomach twisted. He’d gone insane! I took a step back, and I bumped into a large warrior, who blocked me. My heart pounded quickly. This had quickly become a situatio
~Grace~ Today was the day. I’d finally be free from Liam once and for all… I hoped. I stared in the mirror at myself, and even I could see the anxiousness in my eyes clearly. After all, I couldn't force Liam to do anything, and I’m not even really sure what my plan was… Simply ask him nicely?
