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 sat at the edge of my bed, legs tucked beneath me, staring at the moonlight streaking through the window. The silver rays of the moon painted the room in soft light, making everything feel a little more magical. Tomorrow, Ferris and I were going to spend the entire day together and th
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
ELISE'S POV I had never been more confused in my life. This was not how o expected the date to go. Ferris stared at me, not with affection or surprise, but with something far more dangerous—anger. I felt it radiating off of him like heat from a wildfire. The air around us seemed to thicken. “Fer
FERRIS' POV It was the next day, but my mind was still caught in the whirlwind of emotions from day before. There was only one person on my mind - Elise. We were supposed to spend the day together yesterday but it went terribly wrong when the memories came back. The cabin, the snacks, the flower
ELISE'S POV The water dripped down my body, cool against my heated skin as I stepped out of the shower with the towel wrapped loosely around me. It had been a long, exhausting day, and as much as I tried to push Ferris from my mind, he lingered there—always at the edges of my thoughts, taunting me.
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
GINA'S POV I stood by the back laundry. My heart still raced, though I tried to calm it. My moment with Ferris replayed in my mind—his words, his touch, the way his eyes seemed to see straight through me. For so long, I’d wanted to be close to him. I’d dreamed of it, schemed for it. He was one of
FERRIS' POV I sat in my study, deep in thought. My fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk. My mind churnintwistwd with the rumors I'd just heard. A war. Gina. Planning to avenge Jackson? If there was truth to this, it couldn’t be ignored. But Gina wasn’t the type to make things easy. No, this req
FERRIS' POV I leaned back in my chair in my office, staring at the table while my mind raced with a thousand thoughts. Every thought of mine went back to Elise. I envisioned the sight of her locked away in that cold miserable cell. She was pregnant, vulnerable, and despite my every effort to protec
ELISE'S POV I sat in the corner of my room with my knees drawn to my chest, trying to suppress the fear inside me. The encounter with Gina still played on a loop in my mind. I remembered how angry she was. Was she really not behindJackson's poisoning? Was she taunting me? Or was I truly losing my
ELISE'S POV The cell was uncomfortable. No amount of pacing or shifting on the wooden bench could make the suffocating air in here feel better. The walls felt like they were closing in on me. My fingers trembled as I placed a hand over my belly. "I promise," I whispered to the life growing within
FERRIS' POV Eden sat across from me in my study, resting his hands on the table. His newly acquired Gamma badge gleamed on his chest. Ever since Barley decided to act a fool, I replaced him with Eden as Gamma and the head of my security. We discussed who the perpetrator might be and why they want
ELISE'S POV The walls of the cell were cold as I leaned against it. I had been here before, but this time it felt heavier. More suffocating. Sitting on the hard bench, I leaned my head back against the rough stone and closed my eyes. I couldn't believe I was in here, in trouble again and it's all
