Thor’s ear

Ethan's POVArriving at the entrance to the mansion, the automated gates swung open and I drove in. The sight of the building never ceased to impress me.I was initially uncomfortable with the idea of getting automated gates, but Alpha Ronan really convinced me to get it for the mansion and now I am very much in love with it.The gates glided smoothly, their wrought iron design intricate and imposing, a perfect introduction to the estate that lay beyond.The driveway was a winding path of cobblestones bordered by lush greenery, meticulously trimmed hedges, and bursts of colorful flowers that added a touch of life to the serene setting. A mini fountain sat at the center of the circular driveway, its water cascading in soft splashes.I slowed the car to a stop, the tires crunching lightly against the gravel. Before I could step out, my two dogs came bounding across the expansive front lawn.Thor, the massive German Shepherd, and Loki, his mischievous Siberian Husky counterpart, were a s

Unnerved me

Emily“Damn! Mr Gregory deserves a treat for being good today.” I squealed as I was about to leave the graphics house.Work had closed earlier than I expected, which was a rare gift. As I stepped out of the graphics house, the crisp evening breeze kissed my skin.Mera had already let loose her dark brown hair. She usually tied it into a bun when working.“So, who’s the handsome man with the chestnut brown hair and the sturdy build?” she asked, nudging me with her elbow.I frowned, confused. “What are you talking about?”Mera rolled her eyes dramatically. “Don’t play dumb, Em. That well built, not so tall but drop dead gorgeous man who walked in here earlier. He asked about you.”My mind raced to connect her words to a face, but I couldn’t think of anyone who fit the description. Then, like a whisper from my subconscious, Ethan’s frame emerged in my thoughts.I paused in my steps. Was Ethan here?“What did he look like?” I asked cautiously.Mera shrugged. “He wore a white button down s

Trailing behind

EthanIt had been several hours since Reuben stormed out of my house, but his parting words still echoed in my head, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.I was sprawled on the couch, staring blankly at the ceiling, replaying the confrontation over and over. His audacity was maddening, yet I couldn’t entirely push aside the truth laced in his words.What if I had not asked him to follow after Lila and Caden? Would he and Emily still be together by now if he didn’t help me out?I rubbed my temples, trying to shove the frustration out of my mind.“Mr. Ethan?”I blinked, realizing Lady Tatiana, my African cook who had insisted on following me back to Silver Lake, was standing by the door.She was wearing her usual apron, her hands clasped neatly in front of her. She had been more than just a cook in the past one year. She was practically family.“I called you several times, but you didn’t respond,” she said softly.“Sorry, I was just… thinking,” I replied, my voice trailing off.She walked

There together

Emily’s POVHe was right afterall.We couldn't drive or find help on time. It was getting late with each passing minute and I couldn't bear to spend the entire night in the club.In the end, we took on Ethan's offer.The room was still and quiet, except for the sound of Mera’s soft snores from the other bed.I sat cross legged on the edge of mine, staring at the glowing screen of my phone, trying to make sense of the evening’s chaos.I hadn’t planned on bumping into Ethan tonight, let alone ending up in the same hotel as him.“What the fuck, Mera?" I yelled when her snores became unbearable.I threw a pillow over Mera’s face, hoping it would conceal the deafening sounds.She threw the pillows away and continued to have her sleep.I sighed as my mind took me back to Ethan. He was pretty annoying these past few days.Still, I hadn’t missed the way his eyes softened when he spoke to me, or the faint slur in his voice from all the whiskey he’d had. And now, after settling into a room righ

Feet away

EthanI didn’t expect her to ask me to stay.When Emily turned to me with those wide, uncertain eyes and said it, I was stunned. My first instinct was to leave, because being around her stirred things in me I wasn’t sure I could control.But the vulnerability in her voice, the way she seemed to need something from me, held me in place.“Alright,” I said quietly, easing back onto the bench beside her. “I’ll stay.”She offered me a small, grateful smile and hugged my jacket tighter around her. For a while, neither of us spoke. The hum of the city filled the silence between us.Damn it Ethan! Fucking say something.“I need to apologize,” I started, breaking the stillness.Her head snapped up, eyes narrowing slightly. “Apologize? For what?”“For everything,” I said, my voice thick with regret. “I never meant for things to get so… messy. I just wanted to prove myself, to be worthy of Lila.” I glanced away, staring at the horizon. “I was promised that if I kept my head down and did what was

Hated it

Emily’s POVI woke up to an unfamiliar ceiling.The sunlight streaming through the sheer curtains stung my eyes, and for a moment, I was disoriented.This wasn’t my room.The walls were painted a neutral beige, the furniture sleek and modern, not the cozy, floral theme I’d picked for my own space.Sitting up, I scanned the room, my heart racing. How did I get here?“Mera?” I called out, my voice cracking slightly. Silence greeted me, and panic started to creep in. Where was she?I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood, my head spinning slightly.My dress from last night was wrinkled and askew, and my hair was a mess. I shuffled over to the mirror above the dresser, hoping my reflection might offer some clue as to what had happened.But I saw more than just my fucking reflection.Written in bright yellow highlighter on the corner of the mirror was a note. The scrawny handwriting was unmistakable.Thank you for last night. – EthanMy heart dropped. “What the—”I screamed, the

For now

Emily’s POVMera stood by the hotel room door, arms crossed, watching me with an expression that was part curiosity, part exasperation. “Emily, now you are done rambling to whoever, can you fucking tell me what on earth happened last night? And don’t you dare say ‘nothing.’ I was worried sick!”I waved a dismissive hand, still in my robe, pacing the room like a caged lion. “It’s nothing, really,” I said, my voice dripping with mock calmness. “I’m just going to kill that son of a bitch.”Her eyebrows shot up. “Kill who? And why?”“That stupid, annoying, arrogant jerk who thinks the world revolves around him!” I exploded, flinging open my suitcase to grab my clothes. “He thinks he’s so clever with his stupid highlighter notes and his smug little smirk. Ugh!”Mera leaned against the wall, intrigued now. “And this stupid, annoying, arrogant jerk would be…?”“Ethan!” I practically shouted his name. “With his stupid perfect jawline, those stupidly thick lashes, and his infuriatingly symmetr

Just beginning

Emily’s POVI groaned inwardly, realizing how badly I’d messed up. “Lila, I’m sorry. I thought it was Ethan calling again.”“Ethan?” she asked, her tone sharp with curiosity. “Wait a minute. He’s back?”I sighed, rubbing my temple. “Yeah, he’s back.”“That’s great!” Lila exclaimed, her voice lighting up with excitement. “I can’t wait to see him.”I smiled despite myself. Lila’s enthusiasm was infectious, even when I was in the middle of my Ethan induced crisis. “You’re in town?” I asked.“Not yet,” she said, laughing. “But I’m returning to Silver Lake tomorrow with the twins.”“Oh, that’s amazing!” I said, genuinely happy to hear the news. “I’ve missed you guys so much.”“We’ve missed you too,” Lila said warmly. “But listen, I need a favor. I’ve been trying to reach Luna Joan, but her line isn’t going through. Can you go to the Frost Mansion and let her know I’m coming? I want to surprise Ronan.”I hesitated, the mention of Alpha Ronan twisting a knot in my stomach. “Uh, sure,” I said

More interesting

Ethan’s POVI had to leave the hotel earlier than planned. My day was packed, starting with a visit to the new office building complex to settle in and get a feel for my staff.It wasn’t my usual routine, but there was something about this place that made me want to root myself properly, to build something more permanent. After that, I had an appointment with Alpha Ronan.By the time I pulled up to the sprawling Frost Mansion, the sun was high in the sky, casting a golden glow over the meticulously kept gardens.The sheer size and elegance of the estate always managed to catch me off guard, no matter how many times I visited.A housekeeper escorted me inside, her footsteps quiet on the polished floors. I was led to the living room, a large space with high ceilings, tasteful decor, and an undeniable warmth despite its grandeur.I sat down on the edge of a plush armchair, my back straight and my hands resting on my knees. The Frosts always exuded a sense of quiet authority, and even the

But ordinary

Emily’s POVThere was a back entrance that led to Luna Joan's chambers in seconds, without having to pass through the halls and living rooms of the Frost Mansion.Thanks to Lila who told me all about it.The Frost mansion had always had this thick sense of quiet authority around it, but since Lila and Caden left, it suddenly felt like it had doubled.As I walked briskly down the neatly trimmed lawn that led to Luna Joan’s chambers, I couldn’t help but marvel at how the place always seemed so royal yet intimidating.The path was lined with neatly trimmed hedges, and the distant sound of birds filled the otherwise silent space.My heart raced as I approached the entrance to the mansion. Lila’s request had better not be the end of me.I could not even bear to think what would happen if Alpha Ronan caught me here.Without doing or saying much, he gave me the creeps. meeting him personally without Lila being present was already a devastating thought.I sighed.I couldn’t wait to see Luna J
