~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
~Grace~ “You’re beautiful,” Alex whispered into my neck, and I shivered. It was a little cold in the hotel room. There weren’t many options to choose from, and we ended up staying in a small, lodge motel to spend the night out of the rain. While here, Alex had been able to use the front desk’s
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
