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
~Grace~ There was so much to plan! Although I had gotten married before, I felt even more excited and anxious about this one. A lot of expectations were placed on me. This would be the first Lycan-werewolf marriage in centuries, and ever since Alex announced our wedding date, our faces were pl
~Grace~ What was he doing here? I thought I’d never see him again. Especially after our last encounter, where I woke up in the middle of the night with him trying to mark me, I really didn’t want to see him again. I stood very still, the soft breeze blowing strands of my hair across my face. He
~Grace~ Was I too late?I rushed through the forest, the branches of the trees whipping through my hair and leaving marks on my face.I could hear commotion in front of me, but I wasn’t near the fight. Not yet.Was Alex okay?Was the clan okay?I could hear a sea of yelling and bangs. A sour
~Grace~ We couldn’t win on our own.This was far greater than just Alex and I and even the entire Black Lycan clan, this was happening with all werewolf packs in the area.If we stood a chance at winning this fight, everyone had to team up together. No more Lycans and werewolves–it was all of u
~Grace~ couldn’t believe it. I was pregnant!Alex had taken me out on a trip out of the city to celebrate. I had on a flowy dress, my hair pulled up into a bun. The warm breeze felt nice against my skin.I held Alex’s hand in mine as we walked down the street of the small, cozy town we visited
~Grace~ It didn’t hurt.Not like Liam’s, not like Chrisopher’s.It didn’t hurt at all.Was he even doing it?Was this how it was supposed to feel?It was as if he connected a part of his very soul to me. I felt a buzzing in my chest I couldn’t describe. It felt like he was just kissing my neck,
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
