~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
~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
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? 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
~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~ 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~ 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~ I sat and stared out the window in the bedroom that Alex had let me use for my duration of staying here. He hadn’t allowed me to bring any of my personal belongings, claiming that he would provide everything for me. And he had, but all of my stuff was back at the Nightshade pack, and I w
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
