~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
I looked away and ignored him.Next to me, Alex laughed loudly. “You are unworthy of Grace, and the title of Alpha King.”Liam’s face turned red. He was being insulted on his own territory, and worse, by his most hated enemy.Alex was playing a dangerous game, now. Was he going for the world record
~Grace~ Alex took me by the hand, squeezing tightly. He took a deep breath before beginning. “I was still young… my mother, she… was murdered by human hunters.” I clenched my jaw, feeling empathy for him. I knew what it was like to lose your parents, and it was clear this memory still hurt him
~Grace~ Oh my god, Alex! No, no, no- Was he still alive? What was he doing out here?! I burst through the doors into the pouring rain, droplets and seawater pelting me. The rescuers must not have heard my entrance through the storm, none of them looked toward me. “Alex!” I shouted, rushing
~Alexander~ Waves tossed the boat around like it was a toy in a bathtub. I had to hold onto the wall to keep myself from falling over, but even then, I staggered from left to right to keep upright. The man steering the boat wasn’t doing any better than me, and I could tell that he was sweating,
~Alexander~ Of course she was in the middle of the goddamned ocean. Christopher must have lost his mind, thinking he could get away from me. There was nowhere Grace could go that I couldn’t find. I had to pull a few extra strings in order to find out exactly where she was, but it all came arou
~Grace~ Thunder cracked through the sky, and I had to cover my ears, squinting my eyes as a sudden burst of wind sprayed ocean water into my face. I had only been standing out here for a few minutes when the clouds suddenly darkened, rolling in right over my head. I had stared at them, thinking
Honestly, Christopher was a bit like the seagulls. He was a scavenger. Too weak and outcast to be a predator like the rest of the Alphas, always searching everywhere for a scrap of power to gain respect and recognition. But he saw something in me. Something that he knew would bring him that resp
~Grace~ One room?! My heart sank to the floor. Of course. I should have expected something like this. I didn’t even think when Christopher offered to take our luggage away that he’d only booked just one room. I sighed, annoyed. Of course I didn’t think. I hadn’t been. This whole trip w
~Alexander~ Grace was everything to me. She had been the one to turn my life around. Since I first saw her, I knew nothing would be the same. And it hadn’t. Grace had infiltrated my life, changing me in ways I never thought was possible. Until I met her, my primary objective had been regai
~Christopher~ He was going to come here, I knew it. I paced the floor of my room quickly, sweat running down my temple. I could still see his hulking figure in my doorway, that night he came to get Grace. I knew he could snap me like a twig. I’d seen his claws, even in his non-shifted form.
