"I figured," I teased, pushing off the door and stepping closer. "Though I can't say I'm disappointed by the view." My smirk widened as her face grew even redder. "Stop it," she huffed, but I could see the hint of a smile playing at the corner of her lips. It had been too long since I’d seen he
ELISE'S POV There was a smile on my face as I hurried toward the training grounds. I felt much better now, stronger. The bruises from the attack had faded, and I was itching to get back into action. Ferris had made a big deal about this training—insisting that I needed to be stronger, more prepared
ELISE'S POV As I stepped out of the arena, I met up with Sophie. The burn in my muscles faded as I walked beside her, feeling lighter with every step. We laughed, talking about nothing and everything, like we always did when we were together. But even as we joked, my mind slipped elsewhere. To him.
ELISE'S POV The sun was high in the sky when I arrived at the training grounds the next day. Ferris and I had known each other for a long time yet I still felt that familiar flutter in my chest whenever I saw him. Today was no different. I saw him standing there. His huge frame casted a long shad
It wasn’t a perfect hit, but I managed to graze his shoulder, which, for me, felt like a victory. “You’re quicker than I thought,” Ferris muttered. I smirked, rolling my shoulders to shake off the sting of his hit. “You haven’t seen anything yet.” Without giving him time to react, I rushed forwa

ELISE'S POV I couldn’t stop the smile that crept across my face as I drove through the forest road. The pines blurred by as I drove. I looked at the scenery, admiring how beautiful it was. Ferris' pack was a sight for sore eyes but right now, we were moving outside the pack. Today was the day Fer
FERRIS POV The day felt different from the moment I climbed into the car. I could sense Elise's excitement. At first, I had planned for a driver to take us somewhere special but Elise insisted on taking control of the day. What surprised me was the blindfold. I bobbed my knees up and down, feelin
I sighed, letting out a nervous laugh. “This feels ridiculous. Are you sure I’m not going to trip and fall?” “I won’t let that happen,” Sophie reassured me. “Now, hold onto my arm and just follow my lead.” I did as she asked, clutching her arm as she guided me. Each step felt uncertain, and my sen
ELISE'S POV Sophie and I returned to the palace with our shopping bags in hands. We bought a lot of stuff and I got things for her as well. I noticed that Sophie seemed more excited now. She bounced as she walked. There was a twinkle in her eyes I couldn't explain. What was going on with her?
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

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.
