~Christopher~ It had been a week and Grace had barely eaten anything other than what she needed to in order to survive. She looked pale and gaunt, sickly. I had given her everything I thought she could have wanted. Everything. Except letting her go, which I guess is what has her spirits down
~Grace~ Please, Alex, please, I need you right now. I sobbed quietly into the silent night, Christopher sitting silently beside me. I could still feel his bare skin touching my side, and I recoiled at the sensation. He disgusted me. I hated him. He tricked me, trapped me, and forced me to st
~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
~Grace~ Please, Alex, please, I need you right now. I sobbed quietly into the silent night, Christopher sitting silently beside me. I could still feel his bare skin touching my side, and I recoiled at the sensation. He disgusted me. I hated him. He tricked me, trapped me, and forced me to st

~Christopher~ The spell worked. Of course it did, I planned everything out and it worked perfectly. She didn’t even notice when I cut off a piece of my own hair and placed it next to hers. Or how I sat in the circle with her and held her hands. We completed the ritual together, and she had no
~Grace~ I was stupid. I should have known it was a setup. Everything about it screamed “trap” but I just couldn’t listen to my gut feeling. What would Alex say if he were here? “You really thought a magic spell would bring your fertility back?” I could hear him say in my head, looking at m
~Grace~ I had to do it. I had to! This could be my only real shot of being able to have children again! I had already gone the medical route, and nothing more could be done there. They healed my wound, but at the cost of losing my reproductive abilities. I had to take medication after medicati
~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~ 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~ 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
