~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
Simply ask him nicely? Beg him? Threaten him? Demand him? Liam was an incredibly jealous and stubborn man, it would not be easy to get him to give up what he wanted so badly to hold onto. I mean, we were already divorced! His reputation was down the drain, and I didn’t want him back. He couldn’t c
I took a step back, and I bumped into a large warrior, who blocked me. My heart pounded quickly. This had quickly become a situation I was no longer in control of. A yelp cried through the air and I turned around. What was that? The warriors shuffled as I saw the tall figure of Alex pushing thro
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
~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
