~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~Oh my goddess, Liam was going to tear Alex apart!I clasped my hands over my mouth in horror as Liam lunged at Alex, teeth bared and saliva dripping. Alex, rushing forward, caught Liam midair and threw him to the ground.Liam yelped, but quickly got back on his feet, going for Alex’s legs, w
Wait, what was I thinking?I quickly looked away, feeling awkward, and Alex promptly started the car.At the Black Lycan castle, I was overwhelmed with how luxurious everything looked. Although I had been here before, I never really got the chance to explore.Everything looked old, but very well tak
~Liam~“Alpha,” Sophia whispered, wrapping her cold arms around my neck from behind, “You look unwell. Are you in pain? Perhaps I can ease it a bit.”I sat in my bedroom, where Grace used to stay. It felt so empty without her. I sighed, staring at her abandoned belongings, still boxed up in suitcase
~Sophia~“What the hell were you thinking?!” Liam’s voice roared.I stepped back, feigning tears, immediately lowering my head. “I-I’m sorry-”Secretly, I scowled at him, my face hidden, pointed to the floor. So what if I had ordered the seafood platter instead of the charcuterie board for the banqu
Rolling my eyes, I put it back down. Liam had texted me at least a hundred times within the last couple hours, and now she was texting me too? As if she cared. Liam probably asked her to, since I wouldn't respond to him.I continued writing, trying to remember where I left off. Right…, Alex showed m
I just couldn’t believe it. Not yet, not without evidence. It’s not that I distrusted Alex, it’s just that… there was something strange about this whole situation. It’s odd that I never heard anything about it from Liam or his mother. I didn’t even know Liam’s mother knew my parents to begin wit
~Grace~ “You have to confront him!” I told Alex, pacing the small floor of the medical room. Alex sighed, his brow furrowed. I could tell he was frustrated. “Grace… is reuniting with you not enough?” I let out a short hiss of air. Why was he being difficult about this? This didn’t just affec
~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
