"I was desperate, Devin. I wanted to exonerate myself badly. I wanted to come home," she said, shedding tears. I gently wiped away her tears and kissed her forehead to calm her down. "It is okay, baby. I am taking you home, and you won't have to be afraid anymore," I assured her while she sobbed.
~Leo~ Andrew and I spoke extensively about the cult. Amelia and Clay were present. Clay chipped in occasionally, and the cult seemed deeply rooted, well-connected, wealthy and strong. They had people from everywhere, and their influence and reach were widely spread throughout our world. They had
If we did not need Yuri to help destroy Erik, I would have said we should destroy him too. He only gets involved in matters that affect him directly. I do not think it is a good quality of a leader, but he is the lesser of the two evils," He said, and I knew he meant every word. I did not trust him
~Leo~ We left for the airport the moment I hung up. I did not want Amelia to know where we were going, so I told her I wanted to show Clay and Andrew the place. They, too, did not want her to join us, so they supported the lie. We entered the van and headed for the city airport. We arrived there
How did these people know Andrew was with us? I studied the fight carefully, and they were trying to get to our van, so it meant they weren't there for Andrew but for Sylvester and the lords. "Let's help them," Sylvester ordered, and I fought his command. He was my king and had power over me, but I
~Amelia~ A feast was being prepared in the kitchen, and I wondered who the food was for. I began to suspect Leo was planning and hiding something, but I wouldn't push it. I planned to let it rest, trusting he would inform me when the time came. After making sure the food was good, I decided to w
I could not believe this. I could not believe it. I could not wait to see them and their children. "Make sure they're comfortable in the living area; I am coming now," I linked him back and hurried out of the room. I could not believe Leo kept this from me. I had missed Linda so much and the child
~Amelia~ I allocated rooms to everyone, and they said they liked it, but they were too worried to fool me. Linda was the last person I allocated a room to, and it was on purpose. I planned to question her about what was going on. I opened the door to the room closest to the one that Leo and I sha
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
