The press conference was at the media outlet’s main building in the capital. The place was practically a skyscraper, its shimmering windows reflecting the sun’s rays.We were having the press conference at a soundstage within the building. A stage was set up along with a blank backdrop, stage lights
EmilyApplause erupted through the few reporters watching the live show, and the internet went crazy.As soon as I realised what I’d done, the tips of my ears turned red. I’d lost myself in the moment, and somehow my impulse had been to kiss Logan.I turned away quickly, trying to act casual and as
Amy looked down at her feet as she continued to speak. “I’ve been taking a potion to hide it. It makes it seem like I have a wolf, but it’s been taking a toll on my health. I’ve always been too afraid to stop taking it though, even if it hurts me in the long run.”“Why would you do that? If it’s mak
LoganAs soon as my father left, my chin fell to my chest. There was never a moment of peace so long as my father was around.I had hoped our efforts had been enough to prove that Emily was fit for the role of Luna, but he was insistent that I eventually reject her.I had originally intended to do t
I turned to go back inside, but I couldn’t hide my displeasure.Emily “Emily!”As I stormed off down the street, I didn’t pay attention to anything around me. I kept walking, my pace quick.“Wait!” Warm hands clasped my shoulders, and I looked up to meet Micahel’s gaze. I’d nearly run into him.“No
EmilyMichael drove for longer than I was comfortable with. No matter how many questions I asked, he remained vague.My need for evidence in my trial against the Crowley family got me to stay in that seat. Even if it shouldn’t have.Michael drove deeper into the capital city. By the time we got to a
But where was the justice in that?Even Logan knew that I wanted to prove I deserved what was supposed to be mine.Even in the cool wind of the night, a warm and fuzzy feeling washed over me. Thinking about Logan made me feel better than Micahel did.Although our relationship was cold and contractua
Third Person It was tradition in Titanfang pack that Lunas become familiar with their Alphas affairs. This helped them understand the workings of the pack before marriage so that when they stepped into their role, they knew what to do.At least, that’s what Logan told Emily.She was skeptical. She
I lowered my voice. “What would you do for a chance to be with me, Chloe?”She didn’t have a chance to answer. A crash came from behind her, and the both of us turned to see where the sound came from.It was Emily.The tablet she had been holding was now lying on the floor, the screen cracked. She s
LoganI stood at my office window, coffee in hand, watching as morning sunlight crept across the pack compound. I still felt uncomfortable about the date last night. I had expected so much from it, but it had fallen even more than flat.Not to mention that Emily and I were as tense as ever when we w
“I know. I didn’t want to make a scene, and it didn’t seem like it was worth it.”The fire in her eyes flared. “You didn’t think it was worth it?”“It benefits us in the end, doesn’t it? We need people to see us together.”“I thought you meant our fellow packmates, not publicists!” She started to ge
LoganI swirled the last of the wine in my glass, watching the deep red liquid catch the light like spilled blood.Across from me, Emily had gone quiet again.Something about her had closed tonight. As soon as she saw the flash of a camera, she shut down. And she shut me out.I knew it was my fault.
The second half of the show passed in a blur. The crowd rose in applause, the performers bowed, and the audience began to file out into the night.I followed, arm lightly looped through Logan’s, as if I was a well-placed accessory in the Alpha’s public tableau.Inside, I felt like a wilting flower.
EmilyThe night started with a dress.It was a beautiful, pale-blue thing that hugged my waist and floated around my knees.I wasn’t used to soft fabrics or silver zippers. I was used to sensible shoes, high ponytails, and reliable, muted colors. But when I saw myself in the mirror, I didn’t see the
LoganFrom my desk in my office, I watched Emily work.Emily sat at her oak desk outside my door, her fingers dancing across her keyboard. A calm intensity was written in every line of her body. Her hair fell over one shoulder as she tilted toward the screen, her jaw set as she focused.She was beau
Despite everything, Chloe didn’t actually want to hurt Logan. She wanted him. She wanted to be at his side.“It’s not poison,” Hannah said, waving a hand. “It’s an aphrodisiac. It’s made from all natural ingredients. One dose and Logan won’t be able to keep his hands off you.”Chloe’s breath caught.
Third Person POVThe envelopes were thick and government-stamped. Their weight hit the marble countertop loud and heavy as Chloe slapped it down. She stared at it, her heart stuttering in her chest.There were four: one for her, one for her mother, and one for her father.The Crowley family had offi
