“I can cut it for you.” He looks at me and I shrug. “I used to cut both my mom and dad’s hair.” “I’d like that, maybe this evening after shopping.” He kisses my nose again then hands me a washcloth. “Your hair is clean milady.” “Thank you.” We finish showering and when it’s time to get dressed, I
Cara’s request to keep Angel longer is advantageous. It means I will have more time with Eli today. As I walk out with Rik, I ask the question that’s been sitting uneasily in my mind. “How do you do it?” I ask and look at him. “Which part?” He asks chuckling. I chuckle too. “Sorry. How do you han

Alessia told me that everything Liam said was truthful. He wants to make this right. He doesn’t kill just to kill. And he’s right, he is an Alpha.
