~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~ “You have to confront him!” I told Alex, pacing the small floor of the medical room. Alex sighed, his brow furrowed. I could tell he was frustrated. “Grace… is reuniting with you not enough?” I let out a short hiss of air. Why was he being difficult about this? This didn’t just affec
I just couldn’t believe it. Not yet, not without evidence. It’s not that I distrusted Alex, it’s just that… there was something strange about this whole situation. It’s odd that I never heard anything about it from Liam or his mother. I didn’t even know Liam’s mother knew my parents to begin wit
~Grace~ “You’re beautiful,” Alex whispered into my neck, and I shivered. It was a little cold in the hotel room. There weren’t many options to choose from, and we ended up staying in a small, lodge motel to spend the night out of the rain. While here, Alex had been able to use the front desk’s
~Grace~ “It’s my fault,” Alex said, sitting on the bed, his back to me. The moon highlighted his outline, and his shoulders slouched forward. I’d never seen him look so defeated. Usually, he was full of life, full of spark and determination. Nothing bested the Lycan King, but now here he was,
~Grace~ “What on earth are you talking about?” Liam asked, waving his hands at me. His brows were pressed together in deep confusion. I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. I knew it was the middle of the night, but I had expected Liam would have some idea of this story… I told him everyt
~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
