VERENA My heart beats wildly in my chest as Alpha Carlisle stands beside me. How much did he hear from our conversation? "I, um, I'm sure anyone would love the soup Ruth made," I point at the bowl on the table near me while sweat trickles down my back. Carlisle looks at the soup with a light frow
VERENA I choke on the meat upon hearing what Carlisle just asked, and immediately down the water in the glass kept before me. Carlisle’s face turns rigid with concern when he says, “Take it easy, Verena. I was just kidding.” But the look in his eyes tells me otherwise. Was it really a joke? Carl
‘Stop!’ I scold myself inwardly. He’s gone from my life, so there is no point in bringing these memories back. They are—unnecessary and distressing. My hand reaches for the Avocado Chocolate Mousse that I made for lunch, and I say, “You must think I’m boring.” Carlisle smirks as he pours himsel
VERENA "Me? Why?" I ask, my face turning pale. “A partner is required to attend the exhibition since there’s dancing besides the exhibition,” he replies while swirling his glass, the red liquid dancing within its curved walls. “Like a ball?” “Yes, like a ball. People will get bored if it's just
VERENAI gasp as I feel my body being propelled towards the tracks, with the train inches away. In a flash of light, I regain my balance and step away from the edge of the platform.The sound of the train tires passing through the platform overcomes the sound of my racing heartbeat as I stare at the
I wince as I move my hand. My gaze shifts to the old woman. Who sent her? Who’d want to harm me?My left hand goes through her sweater pockets to see if I can find anything. But then I hear footsteps, and find Carlisle entering the platform with his men. He looks at me, his eyes widening. “Fuck!” H
VERENA As soon as the lights are turned on, a portrait of a lady on the wall across the room flashes before my eyes. The lady sits on a chair, and looks back at me with a certain pride swirling in her green eyes, her long midnight blue hair cascading down her slim neck. The lady in the portrait is
ELIJAH I face the angry mob with calm composure. Their shouts stopped the moment I made it clear with one sharp gaze that I won’t tolerate them raising their voices against their Alpha. The name ‘Cold-blooded Tyrant’ wasn’t given to me for nothing. I like to rule with an iron fist and make sure eve
Wow, I can't believe this is the end of this book. This has been one hell of a journey. This has to be one of my longest book and I can't believe it has finally come to an end. I have spent so much time with these characters that once were in my head, now it almost makes me tear up. Also, its the e
VERENA“Oh, thank you.” I take it from him and sense Elijah standing beside me. He places his arm on my waist in a possessive way. Rowan notices that and it only makes his eyes flash with excitement. It's as if he’s amused by it. “Mom, who’s this?” Ezra asks as he stands beside Elijah, his brows f
VERENAElijah smirks at my words and gives my thigh a tight squeeze. “You shouldn’t have suggested that. Now I want this party to end quickly.” I feel my cheeks heat up and I turn back to the game. “Let's enjoy this moment.” I whisper and hold his hand. Piece by piece, the board transforms into a
VERENA“Would you like a gingerbread cookie, George?” Maria asks, her eyes twinkling. George looks at the tray, and frowns. “Did you make them?” He asks and Maria nods. “Then I’ll definitely have them.” He picks two cookies from the tray. Maria’s cheeks turn slightly red at his words and she watch
VERENAThe aroma of freshly baked gingerbread cookies fills the kitchen, mingling with the spicy scent of mulled wine. Christmas cheer is in the air, and I'm busy preparing for the festivities. I carefully pour the steaming hot eggnog into festive mugs, each one decorated with a whimsical snowman.
ELIJAHRena’s moan makes my cock erect and twitch to be inside her. Standing behind her in the shower gives me the perfect view of her perky ass. I push two fingers inside her pussy, feeling her wet walls tighten around my skin. Last night was good, but it was more like make up sex. I want more. I
VERENA“Rena!” He moans my name as he pounds his length inside me and I feel myself reaching the climax. My fingernails dig into the mattress as I get a powerful release. Elijah releases himself inside me and falls to the bed. His arms pull me closer as he lies beside me in the bed and my face feel
VERENAElijah’s eyes light up after I say those words to him. It feels good, like a burden has been lifted off my chest. We needed to talk but I did not know how to initiate a conversation with him that wouldn't lead to any conflict or misunderstanding between us. Turns out that he felt the same.
This is my way of telling her how much I want her. There’s not a single day I didn’t think of her, didn’t miss her. How can she even think that I wouldn’t want her? Rolf growls inside my head in agreement. I kiss the mark and pull back, watching her face turn red and flushed. The daze in her eyes
