~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~Hurriedly, I pushed through the front doors, my arms loaded with luggage. Behind me, Enzo and Samuel both struggled with my heavier suitcases.Alex waited with folded arms by his luxury car, the trunk open. He stared at me, eyes wide in disbelief.“Why are you bringing so much stuff?” He ask
~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
~Grace~ I thought the Elder Lycan would explode. His entire face turned red, and I swear I could see steam coming out of his ears. “Alexander Black, do not turn against your elder. You know that I only serve this clan. I have been loyal to your family since your grandfather ruled. I would nev
~Grace~ What was Liam doing here? Alex, Enzo, and I stared at Liam as he rushed in, panting. He must have run through the building to find us. “What are you-” Before I could finish my words, Alex darted forward, a feral look on his face. “No!” I screamed, my heart dropping. Not agai
