I dismissed the rest of the warriors, and they left. I could see relief in their eyes. When they dragged Kappa James away, I felt rage in me. He was lucky I was stopped, or I would have killed him. He had hurt me badly. We could source Nitric Acid elsewhere but might not get enough if an army c
~Leo~ I got off the ground and headed into the house to wait for Amelia. Time was standing still in those moments. My troubles were distant. I paced about the place, not knowing what to do. I was mad at Yuri and the Stepanovs. This would have been a better experience in our small bungalow. Somehow
I snuck out of my room and headed downstairs, but I instructed Macy to watch Amelia and serve her anything she wanted. On my way to the lounge, I saw my mother, and she asked about Amelia. I told her she was sleeping, and my mother decided she would keep an eye on her. It was understandable that s
~Susan~ When Devin told me my parents were around, I did not know how to feel about it. They had been gone for nineteen years, and a lot had happened between then and now. I honestly did not know how to feel about it or if I wanted to see them. Knowing they were part of the Stepanov cult made me s
"Suzy," I heard my father say. He was the only one that called me that, and he knew I hated it so much, but he teased me with it so much when I was a child. I looked at him, and he wiped away his tears. "I am sorry, honey. I am very sorry," He said, and I knew he had told his part because he wasn
~Devin~ I knew it would be hard for Susan to unite with her parents, so I supported her. I had sentiments and did not trust them, but I could not show them. Susan was already beating herself up about everything her family members had done; the least I could do was ease her mind. It wasn't great t
"That bastard is sick. He plans to take it all, and Sean is helping him," Grey said, and Leo slammed his fist into his palm. "I knew it. I knew that bastard could not be trusted. All the takeovers in the west, all the displaced people. That bastard. What is his gain in all this?" Leo asked. "Lords
~Leo~ I could not believe Sean was a bastard. Had we known he would betray us like this, we wouldn't have agreed to make him head Alpha of the West. It seemed right then because we needed the four regional alphas to agree to the kingship. Little did we know it would be a move we would regret. I
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
