~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
~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
~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,
~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
~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~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

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
~Grace~ One room?! My heart sank to the floor. Of course. I should have expected something like this. I didn’t even think when Christopher offered to take our luggage away that he’d only booked just one room. I sighed, annoyed. Of course I didn’t think. I hadn’t been. This whole trip w
~Alexander~ Grace was everything to me. She had been the one to turn my life around. Since I first saw her, I knew nothing would be the same. And it hadn’t. Grace had infiltrated my life, changing me in ways I never thought was possible. Until I met her, my primary objective had been regai
~Christopher~ He was going to come here, I knew it. I paced the floor of my room quickly, sweat running down my temple. I could still see his hulking figure in my doorway, that night he came to get Grace. I knew he could snap me like a twig. I’d seen his claws, even in his non-shifted form.
