**Rosalie's POVA few days passed, and I found myself not wanting to do much. Talon, Estrella and Vicky had all taken turns to check on me and encourage me to stay positive of the situation.Vicky had told me about the library, and, after much debate, I agreed to go with her. Thinking about her clos
"Open your mouth for me..." His voice was deep and low. His lips were barely above my own.I did as he asked and opened my mouth, and slowly, he deposited the pills before handing me a glass of water. After I swallowed them down, he replaced the glass upon the nightstand.He quickly stripped off the
***Talon's POV"Hey, you're here!" Ethan greeted me.Something about his burst of energy was a little unnerving, and I wasn't sure what was going on, but I was curious to find out why he seemed to be in a good mood."Yes, Alpha! I left the training grounds as soon as I heard you needed me.""How is
"This is my daughter, Madalynn." Romero stated with a smile. "We are hoping to find her a good match when we go to the capital. She is of age, and has a strong bloodline to support any eager Alpha who wants an adequate mate."The tension running through Ethan rubbed off on me, and I quickly smiled.
**Rosalie's POVA long sigh escaped my lips as I put down the second book I had finished on the soft surface of my comforter. Day two of Ethan's visitors being within the pack grounds, and I was getting bored being cooped up in my room.I shook my head – who did I think I was?Talon told me it was f
"Alpha…" I whispered as his hands pulled and tugged at the clothing upon my body.He tossed me up on the bed, and then a squeal left my mouth as he dragged me to its edge and dipped his mouth to my core. My legs wrapped around his shoulders and my back arched in pleasure."Ethan. Call me Ethan!" he
I lost myself in my own thoughts and couldn't remember how long it took for me to finally fall asleep.When I woke up to the bright morning sunshine, I let out a long sigh as I slid from bed and made my way towards the bathroom.I was in for another long day of doing nothing.A soft knock on the doo
"Your room?!"She bursted out laughing, and then stepped forward, looking at me as if she had just heard the biggest joke in her life."I'm the future Luna to this pack, and this is my room!"My eyes were widened. What did she say – future Luna?!She continued, "Do you honestly think he is going to
The entire family had gathered in the dining room and was chatting amiably over a very impressive spread that had been laid out by the kitchen–two prime rib roasts, a honeyed ham, and three roast ducks were the centerpieces of the table, all of which were being enjoyed liberally by everyone.George
RowanMom ran her fingers across Selene's head, admiring her fine white hair. She looked every ounce the doting grandmother instead of a ball of uncertainty, like Maeve. Maeve was pacing back and forth near the fall wall of my bedroom, her arms folded across her chest and her head bent as she tried
Kacidra joined in the conversation. "Maeve is right, Rowan. We need to know what's happening with you and Hanna, or else we'll never be able to help."Rosalie's voice was calm and supportive as she asked, "Is it Hanna that's troubling you, son? Is she doing all right?My first instinct was to tell t
Gemma and Ernest had flown down with my parents and their son George, who was just two months older than Maeve's sons.A moment later, the library door opened and more of our family members poured in, as if they were fully aware of the thoughts I'd just had and I'd summoned them. I pushed aside my n
RowanThe castle was abuzz with its usual day-to-day activities. Servants and maids passed me in the hallway carrying baskets of laundry and trays of tea. I could hear the clattering of cookware as I left my office and walked toward the grand staircase off the foyer, seeing the door to the servants'
"Who? What happens?""There's so much more out there," Mara said dreamily. "So, so much more.""Maeve!" Troy called from down the beach.I turned to look at him, and when I turned back to Mara, she had taken off. "Wait!" I called after her, but she had already made it out of earshot, her footsteps l
Best of all, Troy was happy. He was at peace and at home. But there was still much work to be done.We were spending several weeks jumping from island to island, taking stock of the wellbeing of the inhabitants, and making a list of what was needed. Most of the islands were in need of medicine, inf
Maeve–Four Months LaterSuntra was not what I was expecting. I had become accustomed to the seemingly endless white-sand beaches of Avondale, where the sand grit was so fine it felt like powdered sugar as you walked barefoot in the surf. Suntra's sand was coarse and golden and dappled with tidepool
I straightened up a bit, shifting Oliver's weight in my arms as I narrowed my eyes back at him, sizing him up. A man roughly my father's age came bounding out of their house, waving at me apologetically as he leaned to whisper harshly in the ear of the man I assumed was his father.Whatever his son
