~Grace~Have you ever done something you regret? Well, l have.My biggest regret was making my husband the alpha king and saving his ass from that group of rogues.I knew this made me sound evil. But trust me. What he did to me after my injury was unforgivable. l will not forget the day my life turn
~Grace~I saw Liam’s face register shock briefly, and Sophia buried her face in his shoulder, crying. I watched them, unphased.“As your Alpha, you will not refuse me,” Liam said, voice low and menacing.I barely managed to conceal my scoff. No right to refuse him? Excuse me?I scowled at him and re
~Grace~“What-” I started to say before I took a step back. A massive figure loomed over me, blocking out the moonlight, emitting a powerful aura.He stood proud and tall, his body a mountain of what had to be battle-hardened muscle beneath his jeans and t-shirt that threatened to split at the seams
~Third person~Alexander sat back in his chair, combat boots kicked up on his desk, scattering papers to the floor. He crossed his arms behind his head as he closed his eyes, Grace’s face appearing in his mind. He’d never met a woman like her. Her boldness, her feistiness… It impressed him, really.
~Grace~The Lycan King towered over me, golden eyes piercing through me. I instinctively shrank as the realization of what I had done set in. I had insulted the most feared and unforgiving creature anyone had ever heard of.Even despite my show of respect, that didn’t erase my offensive act, and the
~Grace~My heart leapt into my throat, head spinning in confusion as I stood in the Lycan King’s arms. I noticed the warmth of Alex’s body pressed against mine, and I felt conflicted. Was he normally this forward with women, or was he treating me as someone special?He was quite attractive–in an int
I frowned, feeling insulted as a thought popped into my head.He just sees me as a nanny! Of course he does! Me, a woman with nowhere to go, no responsibilities to attend to at the moment–he just thinks of me as nothing other than a maid!Fortunately, my years of strict etiquette training kicked in
~Grace~What was I supposed to wear to the event? I couldn't show up looking like this, I’d be better off not going at all. I’d only bring myself further disgrace. I turned around to look at Alex, feeling silly. What would he think of a request like this? I’m sure he hadn’t even thought about my c
~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~ 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
