"It's evident that someone did an exceptional cleaning job," Justin remarked, and we nodded, already having reached that conclusion."They must have worked tirelessly through the night and ventilated the place," Josephine added, acknowledging the thoroughness of the cleaning."I suppose our best hop
"Let's hope they reveal their demands before the council so we can have a better idea of what we're dealing with," Marvin added, voicing our shared hope for more clarity in this intricate situation.We drove to the hospital, and upon our arrival, the staff seemed on edge. Justin firmly demanded that
~Liam~ The hospital wait proved challenging as time seemed to drag while we remained motionless. Josephine and I took short strolls occasionally to stretch our legs. I permitted her to rest on the couch while I remained standing. Despite the unspoken nature of the situation, I anticipated that ques
We stepped into the cafeteria, Justin and I, purchasing some food upon entry. Hospital cuisine wasn't exactly my preference, but I was prepared to make do. The meagre offering of sandwiches and water hardly constituted a satisfying meal. Opting for a table tucked into a corner, we settled into our
I had a desire to accelerate things, to get that aspect of my life settled and move forward. So, I intended to speak with her, to lay bare my feelings, but the universe had its own designs. Now, I find myself grappling with the task of rescuing her," I explained with a sigh. "But with Josephine, it
~Leo~ Going to the council meeting always sucked. There was no time I got used to it. Amelia often told me it would become a routine, but I saw it as a job. Twice I had asked Sylvester to nominate someone else as council leader so I won't have to go to all the meetings, and he refused. I could
We all proceeded to our spots, and as always, Amelia and I had to part because I was at the floor level where the council sat while she was with the ladies at the upper loges. Tamia and Sylvester were in their loge overseeing the meeting. Lady Stephanie and Alpha Jake Brighton shared the loge with
"We submitted all our findings to Thompson since he is the oldest of us, besides Alpha Christian. Most of us just took over from our fathers. Thompson knew the protocol and said he would do the needful," Caspian argued, giving a valid reason, and I approved. He was young, so I could understand. 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
