"I will go against everyone for your sake, but I need you to be honest with me," he said, and I believed that was too much to ask of him. Going against everyone meant him losing his status and good name, and maybe his life. I could not have that. I shook my head. "No need to go against anyone Devi
~Devin~Everything Andrew told us troubled my soul. I couldn't get past the fact that the Sullivans were involved, and I could not overlook the fact that Susan came to me the night the place was attacked. What were the odds that she would be so lucky? I was torn between believing her and investiga
Leo told him what had happened and instructed him to help me out. "May I have her scent?" Casper asked, and I was more than willing to return to our room and bring her blouse for him to pick her scent. I found the dress she wore and returned with it. I gave Casper, and he sniffed it and handed it
~Leo~Devin was a stupid man. I do not care what he thought, but he was a fool to accuse Susan carelessly. He was a fool to expect otherwise. If I were her, I would run. Even though I was head of the council, Devin and I could only make little changes. She was right to have run away. They wouldn't
"I am Clay Newton Ivanov," he said, and she smiled at him."We look alike, Leo," she linked me excitedly, and I chuckled. Clay pulled her in for a hug."It is good to be able to speak to you finally. The last time I saw you, you were crossing into the east from Gad," he said, and she broke away and
~Devin~ We moved through the woods very fast. The trackers helped find shorter routes, and I hoped we would be in Mountain on time. The fact that Susan was unconscious was a big issue for me. I could not get over the fact they had hit her with silver, and she had been on the floor for a while. I p
"She was lucky you got here on time. The silver had poisoned her system greatly. She is stable now. But it will take two days to get her in a condition where she can be transported back to Mountain," he said, and I exhaled. It was better news than hearing of her death or their inability to fix the p
~Devin~ Leo and I discussed extensively what Andrew had told him when I wasn't around, but he did not make it too complicated for my benefit. I wasn't in the right frame of mind, and he knew it, so he made it short and hoped he would see me soon. "Okay, keep me posted on what you need. Alexei woul
Dear Readers and Beloved Co-Writers, I am thrilled to share some exciting news with all of you. Liam and Josephine are embarking on their own unique adventure, and their story is becoming so enthralling that it deserves its own book. Considering the depth and breadth of this tale, I've received wi
"I... I’m clueless," I stammered as he trailed kisses along my neck, each touch igniting a wild sensation within me. "Same here," he managed between breaths, his hand gradually tracing up my thigh. His confession reassured me, and at that moment, I embraced the idea of exploration and discovery wit
"I was scared, partly because of Sophia's presence. She seemed perfect, so normal, and I…" I stumbled over my words, the memory stoking an odd ache within me. The pain from that day was stubborn, refusing to fade. "I felt like I couldn't measure up, Li. But my sister insisted that I should give it
"Since we can't venture out alone, I convinced Mrs. Mirabel to join us," he explained, and a surge of excitement led me to embrace him tightly. His consideration touched me deeply. I had yearned to return to the park ever since that day. Even though the stream wasn't quite the same as the lake, it
~Josephine~ A rush of excitement coursed through me, and a smile tugged at Liam's lips as he stood by the doorway. Since there was nothing to grab in my room, I slipped on my slippers and made my way outside. "Did your father get in touch?" Liam inquired as we descended the staircase, and I nodded
"I have to hope that we are fated to be together or that we possess the strength to do what his parents did: defy expectations and reject what fate has in store for us," I mused aloud, causing Charlotte's expression to take on a tinge of concern."Let us not worry about things that are yet to come a
"Because you are my friend, and he is my cousin, and I know of Sophia, so I want to know why you will allow yourself to get carried away," she responded, her tone genuinely concerned. I offered her a smile, touched by her sincerity."There's nothing between him and Sophia," I reassured, to which she
~Josephine~The kappas coming from Lucland didn't reach Grizlo Hospital until late, subjecting us all to a lengthy and tense wait. When they finally did arrive, Charlotte couldn't contain her joy. Meanwhile, I observed Justin issuing them instructions, my only thought being an earnest desire to depa
Seeing that the Royal family is somehow involved in this mess, I request that the council get involved and assist me in solving this matter," He said, and people began to murmur. "How was the Royal family implicated? Isn't this your jurisdiction, alpha Zakharov?" Pamela asked, and he nodded, then m
