“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~ Was I too late?I rushed through the forest, the branches of the trees whipping through my hair and leaving marks on my face.I could hear commotion in front of me, but I wasn’t near the fight. Not yet.Was Alex okay?Was the clan okay?I could hear a sea of yelling and bangs. A sour
~Grace~ We couldn’t win on our own.This was far greater than just Alex and I and even the entire Black Lycan clan, this was happening with all werewolf packs in the area.If we stood a chance at winning this fight, everyone had to team up together. No more Lycans and werewolves–it was all of u
~Grace~ couldn’t believe it. I was pregnant!Alex had taken me out on a trip out of the city to celebrate. I had on a flowy dress, my hair pulled up into a bun. The warm breeze felt nice against my skin.I held Alex’s hand in mine as we walked down the street of the small, cozy town we visited
~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
