"It's Mom," She said, and I took it reluctantly, knowing that my Grandmother must have told her what had happened. "Hello," I said, and I heard a sigh at the other end. "Liam, where did you go last night? Everyone was worried about you," she asked, and I was speechless. How could I tell her my whe
~Liam~ I remained with my back against the tree, thinking about how best to handle the matter with Sophia. Letting go wasn't going to be an option. How could I lead one day if I could not save the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with? Only I knew how I felt. "What's up?" Miles asked me,
"They are neutral parties. Uncle Leo is family; he will tell our parents, but Alpha Max and Kyle will help us. Think about it. Every time we go to Mountain for holidays, who are the people that cover up for us?" I asked, and they knew where I was headed. "This is different, Li. It isn't youthful ex
"Do you need me to help you pack?" Charlotte asked, and I knew she just wanted to be busy. "Yeah, sure," I said while Gemma and Eleanor descended the stairs. "Do you need help?" I heard Harper in my head, and I looked at the foyers from the top of the stairs and saw her looking up. She was worried
~Tamia~ The news of the incident in Grizlo had profoundly unsettled us. My anxiety grew when Stephanie called, informing me that Liam hadn't returned home. I repeatedly dialled Harper's number, each time hearing that they were still searching for him, which only heightened my fear. The situation w
"I was afraid," he confessed, revealing a complex mix of emotions. I nodded understandingly and embraced him. "He's safe, and they're on their way back home. He will need all the support he can get to overcome this," I assured him, and he wrapped his arms around me, seeking comfort in my presence.
"Well, since our children are on their way back, and Mike’s issue doesn't directly involve us, I suppose we can find some solace," Linda attempted to alleviate the tension in the room, but her words did little to ease the heavy weight on our hearts. Sophia was dear to us. We had known her since she
~Tamia~ We remained in the garden, engrossed in conversation about various topics until evening when we received word that our children had returned from Grizlo. I quickly rose from my seat, followed by Claudia, Linda, and the rest. Nicole, whose children were grown and residing in Lucland City, di
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
