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~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~ “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
~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~ 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
~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,
~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
~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
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
