Miranda's POV I smile at Sebastian to try and convince him that I was never at that event five years ago. Sebastian narrows his gaze and places his hands on the counter beside me. He leans in and his nose hovers over mine. My gaze drops to his lips. My heart pounds in my chest and if I didn’t know
What kind of plan does Sebastian have up his sleeve? He truly wants to cause chaos. It unsettles me, sending chills down my spine, leaving me feeling cold all over my body. No…this has Lily and Harper written all over it. Their maniacal minds keep me up at night. I would not be surprised if it came
Evan's POV Evan sighs. He watches Noah and Ella giggle together, drawing inside the lines of a coloring book. When Noah’s crayon accidentally slips out of the line. Ella gasps, smacking him on the arm. “Why would you do that?” She whines. She tears the paper away from him and frowns at the ruined
“What’s wrong? Why do you want Mommy?!” Sebastian’s voice is mixed with urgency and concern. He rips the blankets off of his body and plants his hand on Evan’s freezing forehead. “Evan! You’re freezing!” Sebastian stands and tucks Evan back into his bed. He turns away and slides his phone out from
MirandaDespite the constant rain outside, my children and I have fun inside the house. We’ve run through plenty of indoor activities such as a plethora of board games, hide and seek, a dress-up runway show where Noah was the judge, and we even made a warm batch of chocolate chip cookies. It’s been
“Can you two help us out?” I ask. They nod. I nod in return and pick up the trembling child into my arms. “Okay good…go grab every blanket you have from your bedroom, please. And be sure to check the closet! We need to warm him up as soon as possible!”Noah and Ella sharply turn on their heels and t
MirandaEvan walks out of the guest bedroom, the long blanket trailing behind him. I smile when he approaches us in the kitchen. I grab a nearby bowl and fill it up with soup for him. He sits in a chair beside Ella and weakly grabs a spoon. I place the bowl in front of him and smile, patting his bac
Evan begins to cry and Sebastian grabs his arm, yanking the boy towards him. My heart breaks as Sebastian passes Evan off to his Beta, who then leads him out the door.I hide my shaky hands from Sebastian and place them behind my back, my expression remaining stoic. I stare at him and sigh, shaking
“Did we just get our asses kicked by six-year-olds?” I lean over and whisper into Anna’s ear. She nods. We turn to the triplets and applaud them. Ella giggles while Evan and Noah dig into their bags. “Good job you three! You all have mighty talent!”“A talent show!” Ella suddenly yells. She stands o
MirandaThe car ride home from school was filled with maniacal giggles and complaints that I passed by a restaurant they wanted to eat at. Noah, Ella, and Evan’s whines mixed into one big cry, making me u-turn at the next light.How have I become so soft around them? I swear, their father rubs off o
The area surrounding his lips is a bright red color. Was he burned? Did my men save him from a cyanide tablet he was given by his king? Fate can be so cruel yet so deserving.“Who are you?” I use my Alpha voice to command him to speak. All he does is tilt his head back and laugh. The hairs on my arm

The paper crumbles under my balled fists, threatening to rip from any more pressure.I storm out of the lab and rush up the nearby staircase, not wanting to wait for the elevator and find myself on Sebastian’s floor. I march past his Beta and other employees of his, kicking open the door, and waving
MirandaSebastian’s face lingers in my mind, providing me with both a sense of comfort and anticipation.Our time together last night was sweet yet short-lived. I want more. I crave more from the Alpha King. Simply seeing each other in passing, and even sharing a meal, has left me hungry to see him
“Shut up,” I chuckle and guide her out the door. The keys jingle in my hands and I lock the lab up behind me, sending Jessica down the hallway and to the elevator that leads to the parking garage.I turn in the opposite direction, heading to the elevator that leads up to Sebastian’s office. Stepping
MirandaSebastian’s name displays across my phone screen. My heart skips a beat when I read it, my cheeks warming. I sit up from the lounge chair. Jessica chuckles, sipping her drink from beside me.“Answer it already,” Jessica nudges her elbow into my side. I laugh and give her a gentle push, rolli
