Ella“Your turn.”The afterglow of Logan’s successful tattoo, which he thankfully loved, was short-lived once those words left his lips. I had been grinning from ear to ear as I watched him admire his new tattoo; it was the simple outline of a wolf’s head, simple and understated yet unique and, if I may say so myself, utterly handsome on him.
EllaIt was late, far too late for me to be awake, but sleep eluded me that night thanks to the excitement roiling around inside my head. I found myself standing in front of the full-length mirror in my bedroom. In the soft glow of the lamp on the bedside table and the waxing moon filtering in through the sheer curtains, I could just make out the delicate rose tattoo that now sat on my hip.“My dad is gonna flip when he sees this,” I whispered as I tugged down the waistband o
LoganIn the dead of night, the silence of my room felt oppressive, almost as if there was a tangible weight on my chest. It was almost two o’clock in the morning, and yet I wasn’t even close to finding sleep.My mind was a battlefield, thoughts of Ella, her past, and her reluctance to trust me swirling in a relentless storm. I wanted to empathize, to understand her pain, but frustration clawed at me. How could I make her see that I had changed, that my feelings for her were
EllaAfter a night of fitful sleep, I finally rolled out of bed around six in the morning and began my morning routine.

I had succeeded in pushing Logan away once again, and was now likely going to face the brutal aftermath of the defensive, damaged side of myself getting her way.That day, I planned on heading to the office. It was Saturday, outside of my normal work h

This wasn’t like the Logan I knew; he was usually so calm and collected, and always seemed to have things under control.Why was this fortune so important to him that he was acting like this?
Ella“What is this, Ella?”The moment Sarah’s eyes had landed on the contents of the file, a cold wave of panic washed over me. I couldn’t let anyone know about what was going on behind the scenes, and yet I had been careless and allowed her to see it. And it wasn’t even that I was worried about myself; it was that now, thanks to my thoughtlessness, Sarah was at risk.
EllaAs I was driven home that day, after a day filled with confusion, raw emotions, and newfound allies, I felt utterly exhausted.But the day was far from over.I knew that Logan would likely be waiting for me when I arrived back at the mansion, and I was certain that the conversation we were bound to have would be
EllaAfter witnessing Logan’s reckless display at the racetrack, my heart was a tangled mess of worry and frustration. I wanted to pummel him for the danger he had put himself in, but I also wanted to hold him. I wanted to scream and cry at him, but I also wanted to kiss him.Now, standing there, watching him grip his hair in a mix of despair and defeat, I felt a wave of empathy wash over me. I hated seeing him like this; it was just a testament to the turmoil he was in. I couldn&r
