I was nervous to see my grandfather, Wyatt told me that the whole Lafayette family was in the city and wanted to see Lucas and me I was wearing a black dress that shaped me nicely and high heels. My long hair was straightened and falling to my back. Chloe did my make-up as I liked and I looked in the mirror. " How do I look?" I asked, I was still nervous about meeting that part of my family. "Extremely beautiful, my lady," The young woman answered. I went downstairs and found Lucas already dressed. He looked dashing in black jeans and a white shirt. " Do you like my new airforce shoes," " They look the same as the pairs you own," I told him. He scowled. " We'll they are different, Wyatt, you see that, right?" he asked. Wyatt spoiled Lucas with a lot of designer brands. " Yes," My mate answered, he extended his hand to me and I took it, " My love, you look beautiful," Wyatt kissed my lips. " Is it not too much?" I asked. " You're absolutely perfect," I smiled at his
"Fuck, snipers," Kode growled, he was shaking with anger. He ran outside with the others following. I looked at the man who was struggling to breathe. Blood was gushing out of his mouth. " Lia, call the doctor!" Carl shouted. " I can help," I whispered. My mind was still in a frenzy and my body was trembling but I needed to help him, he was in a bad state. " The bullets need to be removed first," Wyatt said. The doctor came within ten minutes, and they took him to one of the bedrooms. I sat on Wyatt's lap where he held me tenderly and he was rubbing comforting patterns on my back. Everyone stood up an hour later when the doctor descended the stairs, he looked tired but he smiled. " Doctor, how is my father," Caleb asked. " I won't lie, he'll be in immense pain for the coming weeks as the bullets used were silver and laced in wolfsbane but he will heal," he said. " He just needs to rest," I could accelerate his healing and I planned on doing that. " Do you want to see him?"
Azriel This woman was breathtaking! Her smile was mesmerizing. Even after knowing her for months now, her beauty still amazes me. She talked about the food on the table while I watched her. I didn't like it as much, but I pretended to because it made her so happy. When we were almost done with the meal, a middle-aged woman came to our table, a huge smile plastered on her lips. " The unruly child! " She clapped, smiling from ear to ear. " Mrs. Li," Adira didn't seem enthusiastic about seeing the woman. She stood up and crossed her arms against her chest, waiting for the woman to speak. " Luna, I was so happy when I heard you came to my restaurant," Mrs Li beamed. " Oh really?" she said. " Yes, news of your arrival spread, and what happened? Don't worry, we support you and your new position." I was even impressed by the way she dealt with Mars and Steven. She was so powerful at that moment and so damn sexy. I tuned them out and continued to eat my food. Mrs Li left and Adir
I looked up at Chance, his gaze was on Rachel, who was busy shouting at Ambassador Delgado. She was red with anger. " Do you know her?" I asked. " Kinda, does she live here?" he asked, his gaze still on her. " No, she's the daughter of the former alpha of the Silver Dawn pack. How do you know her?" " Oh... It's... It.. just forget it," he seemed disturbed and disoriented. I glanced at Kode, he knew what had happened but said nothing. I wondered how my cousin knew Rachel, but I didn't want to prey on their relationship, so I let it go. " I'm starved, let's go," Chance smiled. Rachel turned to look at us and her eyes slightly bulged at the sight of Chance, and she swallowed. Now I am curious. " She - she's pregnant," my cousin whispered in disbelief as he walked away. I looked back at Rachel and she was gone. Reaching outside the palace, we found Claudia and Emeldah waiting for us by car. A few men were talking to them politely, and they were smiling. They hugged me and we
I didn't tell Wyatt what I learned yesterday because I wanted to be sure first. I got ready for work and went downstairs for breakfast. It was just Azriel and I that morning. I didn't like that as I was evading him. " Look who sits at the same table as me today... alone," he grumbled. I rolled my eyes. " C'mon," I said. We started to eat. Azriel was looking at me. " What?" " Why are you avoiding me?" he asked. I drank my water before answering him. " I'm not," " You are," I got up and went outside. I didn't want to talk to him. I was ready to get into the car, but he followed me. " I'll drive," he told my chauffeur. " No, you're taking me to work," I ordered. The poor man bowed and opened the door, but Azriel closed it again. " What is your problem," " Adira, did I do something wrong?" " Do you love me?" he was stunned into silence by my question. He inhaled and ran a hand through his hair. Azriel was quiet. With a wave of my hand, I dismissed the driver. " W
Adira " Baby, I don't want to," I complained. Wyatt was taking me outside to the back forest. There was no cloud in the sky and the moon was full. " Can you feel that!" he was happy, pointing at the moon. " Yeah yeah, I love the power the moon brings us," I yawned, rubbing my eyes. " Run with me tonight," he said, pulling me closer to him by my waist. ' Run,' I heard Rolf's excited voice in my head. I caressed his beard and got on my toes to kiss him. " Fine," I conceded, pulling the top I was wearing over my head and throwing it to the ground. His eyes lingered on my bare chest and he caressed my arms. I took off my shorts and shoes. I closed my eyes, trying to feel every vibration beneath my feet and I smiled as I connected with nature. I could feel every vibration and the tiniest animals around the forest. " Why do you insist on running when I beat you every time," I said. The last time we went for a run, I left him by a lot. My speed was insane. " Maybe today is my
It was the day of the Luna ceremony, and I was nervous. The pack members were so happy and the ceremony would be broadcast live on TV for everyone to see. " Leila, how is everything going out there?" I asked the assistant as she entered the dressing room. " All is good, Luna and the guests are starting to arrive," she reported, and I nodded my head, standing up. " Alphas are starting to arrive," Leila reported. The door opened and Mila, Dalla, Eva, and Faye entered the room, smiling widely at me. Mila hugged me tightly, and I winced. " Sorry, I'm so excited," she said. Everyone helped me get ready. The stylist did my hair. It was an updo that I picked out and it suited my face. My dress had a plunging back and fit my body right. " Shoes, shoes," Dalla shouted, and a servant brought in the shoes. They helped me and when everything was ready, I looked in the tall mirror. I looked gorgeous if I say so myself. " I'm ready," I whispered. They all gave me commending looks. T
" Azriel," I breathed, he didn't look all right. First, he was drunk and he kept cupping my face. " Adira," he slurred. I pulled him further into an isolated area which was hard to find with all these people. " You're right, Adira. I love you, I love you so much," he said once we got some privacy. He was agitated, looking into my eyes. His confession didn't shock me as much as I thought it would. " You're drunk. I'll call someone to take you home," I said. He shook his head. " No, I- I want to stay here with you," he whispered, placing his head on my forehead and closing his eyes. I let him have this moment for a few seconds before I pulled away. " I've tried so hard to keep my feelings at bay, I swear I did for my little brother because I know you're his world," he said. " I tried Adira, I swear by whatever deity out there," " I know," I whispered, holding his hands. " I know you did," " I wasn't a good brother to Wyatt, but I've been trying because, believe it or not, I
