~Grace~ Alex’s hot breath breezed across my skin as his wet tongue licked my cut. I stared at him, dumbfounded. What was he doing? Tasting the blood? Cleaning it? There was water for that! “A-Alex-” I finally stuttered out, not sure what to say. His eyes were closed, and he only gave a gentl
~Grace~ I couldn’t sleep. Laying in bed, I stared out the window at the moon, the curtains drawn back I hadn’t heard Alex come back in yet, and I was sick with worry. Had something happened to him? What was so serious that he needed to be gone this long? I rolled over, groaning. Ther
~Grace~ Man, was he heavy! I struggled to pull the strange man into my room. Thankfully, everyone was asleep, but I sure wasn’t being quiet by any means. Although he was slender, he packed on some muscle, giving him some real weight. I did my best not to hurt him in the process, but I de
~Christopher~ She was definitely asleep now. I opened my eyes in the dark, the dim moonlight pouring in through the window onto Grace’s face. I gently rolled over and looked at her. She was so beautiful, her long brown hair framing her mature face. It was no wonder she was sought after by so man
~Grace~ “I heard about something that will make you as happy as a puppy,” Alex told me with a mysterious smile on his face. He had asked me to walk with him through the gardens, and after being so nervous about last night's incident, I couldn’t refuse. What if he found out? Or what if he knew al
“I have the papers proving his financial discrepancies right here,” I say, holding up a file. More murmurs went around the room, and I handed it to the gray-haired man, who looked them over, squinting through his glasses. I let the documents get passed around, letting the information sink in. This
~Grace~ “What do you mean? We’re divorced, the papers are right here!” I cried, slapping my signed divorce documents on the desk. My lawyer sat across from me, crossing his legs as he sat in his chair. He was a graying, brunette man with glasses, in a brown suit. He sighed. Alex stood behind me,
My mind wandered as I thought about this possibility. If I asked him, would it be a temporary thing? Or what if we… I blushed at the thought. What if we stayed together? Had he ever marked anyone? Would I be his first? Would he even want to mark me? I shook my head to clear my thoughts. No, wh
~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?
