I would have gone with my theory, but the women's theory explained why they would have over a hundred warriors instead of the usual twenty-five Andrew spoke of. If they had an informant, they would have had to travel quickly in large numbers, and Alexei would have spotted them. When she finished,
~Leo~ Once Casper was done preparing the prisoner for torture and questioning, we headed towards the venue. We were excited, and the game Sylvester set in motion was part of it. I wondered whose theory would check out. I hoped it would be ours because it would suck to be stuck with kitchen duti
"The only reason most of us are helping is that we do not fit in this world. Dimitri's law hangs over our heads, and we want our freedom badly. I disagree with his views but must survive, so I did my best to appease him. Yuri does not plan to settle alone for the East and South. He plans to elimina
~Leo~ I ordered Casper to secure Inkabod in a place to be sure his stories checked out before we decided what to do. The man seemed content with my decision, and I wondered what kind of sick man Yuri was for his people to give him up so easily. As far as I was concerned, what my father said about
I wanted to return to my room and sleep. This could wait for some other time. Max and Kyle followed Andrew and Clay back to the bungalow. I did not miss that they were quiet all through. I guess they, too, weren't happy about losing the bet. Cooking was scary if you didn't know your way about the k
~Leo~ Getting to the bedroom, Amelia requested that we take a shower. She knew how I was feeling and did not bring up the matter of the fire. I was grateful to her for it. She was the only one I had been with that never asked questions. She always allowed me to volunteer the information, making me
I began to hope something would come up that would enable me to escape cooking that morning. Amelia went to join the women in the dining room while I went to the kitchen. It was a disaster. There was burnt toast and bacon. There was smoke in the air, so I figured they had just put out a grease fir
~Leo~ Max and Kyle were very diligent in organising my warriors. I arrived there with Marcel, Theodore, David, Devin, my father, and Sylvester. We needed everyone with a command on deck. I knew what I would do violated their rights, but these were desperate times that called for desperate measur
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
