FERRIS' POV I was able to send a mindlink to Rafael to come get us. He came with a couple of my guards to drive us back to the pack. The drive back to the palace felt like an eternity. Elise sat beside me in silence with her hands trembling in her lap. I wanted to reach out, to hold her, to tell
FERRIS' POV The urge to smash my phone was too much to bear. The call I had just ended left me feeling even more frustrated. It was another dead-end. Another waste of time. My fingers itched to throw the device against the wall, but I forced myself to breathe deeply and set it down on my desk inste
JACKSON'S POV I was surprised when one of my guards informed me that Ferris had summoned me. I was busy but I didn't have a choice. This wasn’t a meeting I could ignore or delay. What could Ferris possibly want with me? As I made my way to his residence and office, the questions buzzed around my
ELISE'S POV I pleaded with the guards as they dragged me into prison. Previously, I was kept in a cell but now, they were taking me to where hardened criminals were kept. The prisoners’ voices reached me first when we got there. “Look what we’ve got here, boys!” one shouted, holding his bars wh
GINA'S POV I stormed out of the prison cell and into the palace hallway. My heels clicked against the marble floors, echoing in the empty hallway as I stormed towards Jackson's office. My anger got worse with every step. I thought of how Elise was released and it infuriated me. How dare she? Ho
FERRIS' POV That evening, I stepped out to the balcony to think. I should be happy now that Elise was free but it wasn't that easy. The whole ordeal of rescuing her was over, but it wasn't enough. Elise was safe, at least for now, but there were other matters that needed my attention—matters that r
GINA'S POV I watched him from the shadows with my heart pounding in my chest. Nobody knew this but I had watched him for months, studied him, learned every bit of his behavior. I had managed to get a maid to slip a strong aphrodisiac into his drink and give it to him. The blend was strong enough t
ELISE'S POV As Jason led me away from the cell, I knew this had to be Ferris' doing. Nobody else cared about me this much apart from him and he was the only one who had the power to overrule Jackson. When we got outside the palace grounds, it took a while for my eyes to adjust to the brightness.
ELISE’S POVThe royal driver pulled up in front of the mall, and the car came to a stop. The atmosphere inside the car was tense and so was the ride. It was silent throughout which was weird. I glanced over at Sophie, who sat by the window with her eyes fixed outside as if the passing buildings were
SOPHIE’S POVI walked down the long corridor, holding a basket of linens. Rounding the corner, I glanced down the hall, and my breath hitched when I caught sight of Gamma Eden standing with a group of soldiers.He was deep in conversation. His deep voice stated out commands with confidence and autho
I hollowed my cheeks, bobbing my head up and down as I sucked him off. Ferris’ loud moans filled the room. I held the base and kept sucking. His moans urged me on. I took as much of him as I could, making myself gag. I wanted to keep going. I wanted to please him more than anything.I kept going til
ELISE’S POVThe warmth of Ferris’s arms was intoxicating. His strong arms held me in a world where nothing else existed but us. His deep blue eyes were fixed on mine, and the vulnerability I saw in them shocked me.“Elise,” he said softly “You’re the most important thing in the world to me. I never
“So,” Sophie said after a while, breaking the silence. She touched my belly “How’s the baby?”I smiled “Fine”She leaned in slightly, placing her ear on my stomach “ What do you think it is?”“I think it’s a girl but Ferris seems convinced that it’s a boy”She stood with a smile “I’m sure it’s a gir

ELISE'S POV The air felt heavy, like it was pressing down on my chest, making it harder to breathe. My heart raced, as I watched the guards lead Alexandra away. Her head hung low, but she didn’t resist. She didn’t scream or try to defend herself. The sight of her acceptance only made me surprised.
ALEXANDRA'S POV The night was cold as I moved silently through the castle corridors. My mind raced with the thought of what I had to do. The plan was simple. I would go in and kill Elise. My heart pounded with anxiety. This had to end tonight. Elise had been a thorn in my side for far too long, a
ELISE'S POV The cell was... different this time After the attack I had, Ferris ensured that I was taken to a different cell. This one was much better. It wasn’t as dark or damp as my previous one, and the bedding was slightly softer. It also had less guards surrounding the place which made eve
