Dominic ‘You hate me that much?’ Apollo asks, a little sad and not angry like he usually is. ‘You will be spending eternity without Esther. You let her go. Again.’ ‘Thanks for rubbing it in,’ I say dryly. He responds with a growl. ‘What do you want me to do, Apollo?’ ‘You can kill everyone in the world for all I care. All I want is my mate!’ he grumbles.Aiden knocks once and opens the door to my study. I’ve been spending a lot of time in my study and avoiding my bed, where Esther’s scent still lingers. “You okay, Dom?” “Dealing with Apollo’s tantrums,” I sigh. ‘Yeah, sounds like him.’ He sends a mindlink and then chuckles audibly. ‘Is it about her?’ I nod. 'And about Felix. We despise Felix.’ ‘I still can’t believe you let him get away with it. You had a reason to kill him legally, but you didn’t, he closes the door and sits on the other side of the desk. ‘I know,’ I groan. ‘Why?’ I glare at him. Can’t he see the obvious reason? ‘Esther feels like Felix is the only one wh

Willow It has been two weeks since our encounter with Liam, and I keep pushing the questions that bother me to the back of my mind. I can’t completely ignore Liam’s words, but he could be lying like the psycho he is. Leo and I have fallen into this comfortable relationship. I don’t know how it happened, but most of my stuff is at his apartment. We are sitting comfortably on a couch, watching TV, with my head resting on his shoulder. “Are you telling me that Liam was one of thw wolves bear-sprayed, when I bear-sprayed those wolves at Carkeek Park?” I ask him. “Willow? Is that a smile I see on your lips?” He gasps. “You are a little devil, you know that.” “Me? It’s not a smile.” I bite my lower lip. “It’s okay, you can laugh.” He laughs heartily, and I pause mid-laughter, staring at him. “What’s wrong?” he raises his brow. “You look so happy,” I smile. “I am,” he grins before kissing my forehead. * In the morning, we eat breakfast at a restaurant, and Leo heads to his lab, wh

Willow Leo kisses me, unzipping the back of my dress my dress. We continue to kiss when the dress falls, as he cups one of my butt cheeks. I unzip his pants, letting them fall on the floor. We move to the couch without breaking the kiss, and he sits on the couch, letting me straddle him, my eyes widen as I feel his bulging manhood, suddenly feeling nervous. “Should I stop?” He whispers, and I shake my head in response. He kisses my neck while he lets out a primal growl. His breath on my neck feels a little ticklish, but it makes me want him more. He holds my butt as we kiss on the lips, and then his hands caress my back as they move upward to unfasten my bra, exposing my breasts. He kisses one of my breasts, and I moan as he does. “Leo,” I exhale. His hand is on my back, pulls me close to him, letting my opening feel his cock. He uses the fingers of his other hand to circle my nipple, while his mouth is on my other breast. I just gasp, feeling helpless while my whole body resp

Willow “Mine!” He growls, his eyes wide and his gaze on the door. This is followed by a soft tap on the door, and I look from Jeremy to the door. “My mate,” he rushes to open the door, and we come face to face with a woman who is about 5’7”. She is a redhead with beautiful freckles on her nose bridge and the sides of her nose. Her eyes widen, and she presses her lips together. She stares at Jeremy who has calmed down, and looks at her as if he doesn’t believe she exists. She looks mad instead of surprised, then she abruptly walks away. Jeremy stands still, whimpering as if he is in pain. I close the door, facing Jeremy. I pull my by his hand, and he seems to be following me mindlessly. I make him take a seat, and he does without saying a word, as if he is a zombie that is following commands and there is a part of him that is gone. I run to my dresser to grab my phone, and I call Leo, hoping that he picks up. “Willow?” “I need you in my dorm room. It’s Jeremy.” “What happene

Willow “Someone is knocking on my door,” I whisper. “Open the door, but don’t hang up yet.” “Hi, Professor Malino.” I say as I open the door, my hands shaking a little. “Come in.” I hang up on Leo, satisfied that at least he knows who it is. She awkwardly stands in the centre of the room, looking around as if lost. I offer her some refreshments and she shakes her head. We take a seat at my table, and I try to read her face, but it is blank. “Willow, I’m sorry had to see that,” she exhales. “Do you at least have an explanation?” She nods. “I have a confession to make.” I watch her expectantly. Waiting for her to continue. “I haven’t told Leo this, but my sister is suffering from vampire syndrome.” A tear trickles down her cheek. “Oh my God! Professor, I’m so sorry.” “It’s okay. I’ve been doing research and I think I was a little desperate to find a solution. She is getting worse every day.” “Professor, I know how you feel.” I sniffle, unable to contain my tears. “But we st

Willow As soon as the door opens, I run towards Leo, and I hold him in a hug, crying tears of relief. “I’m okay,” he whispers, putting his arms around me and kissing my forehead. When I have wiped my tears, he glances at the beakers on the table. “What were you doing?” He motions towards the table. “I got bored, so I decided to test myself,” I shrug. “And?” He smiles, but the smile doesn’t reach his eyes. “Just as I suspected, I’m clean, look.” I pull him by his hand and lead him to one of the computers, which shows my results. “Hmmmm. Is that the only reason you tested yourself? To show me you are clean?” He raises an eyebrow, a corner of his mouth tilting up. “Of course not, I’m going to give these results to Jeremy.” I retort. “I suspected that,” he chuckles. “Why would you suspect that I wasn't clean? I told you I haven't…”“People sometimes get infections from toilet seats, and I felt like what you did was a reckless move. I've had sex. Shouldn't you have asked for pro

Esther“I am not feeling guilty!” Aiden says defensively. “What’s wrong with you?”“There’s nothing wrong with me,” Hilda says.“Stop acting like children!” Dominic chimes in, and they both go silent.It’s night on the drive to Blue Moon, Dominic is holding my hand, and everyone is quiet. It is only for twenty minutes, but it feels like a million hours. There is nothing strange when we arrive. The warriors let us through, and we greet them after getting out of the cars. They bare their necks in submission, and I get strange looks because my scent is different.“Luna,” Sam, one of the warriors, says, and the rest of the warriors bow.“There is no need, really,” I say sheepishly.“This is your luna,” Josh says authoritatively. “You will treat her as one and you will protect her at all costs. Don’t you dare think of challenging her authority if you value your lives.”“Josh,” Dominic says gently.“Sorry, Dom. You have to speak first. I just wanted to get that out of the way.”He nods in r

Esther"Dominic, we have to go," I whisper."I know." He lifts me, and I wrap my legs around him."So," I moan. "Stop tempting me.""Just one more kiss." His breath fans my neck. I am trying to keep it together, but I am pulling him closer with my legs, and he lets out a growl of satisfaction."Would you like more?"I nod so enthusiastically, he chuckles, but it's not long after when someone knocks, and we both groan."It's time to go," I sigh.He opens the door just a little. "Go away, Charles.""Everyone is ready to leave. I wanted us to get the divorce ceremony over with. Unless you changed your mind, and then in that case I would like to have my wife back.""You are not funny.""I am giving you two minutes," he says before walking away.We take the quickest shower and head to the hall where we do the divorce ceremony."Does this mean you are no longer my sister?" Margaret asks with a long face when we are done."I will always be your sister." I hug her.She gives me a kiss on the

Esther"Yes, Dominic. It's a yes."“Wow! Look at Alpha Dominic and how much he’s smiling like an idiot.” Logan smiles.“So unfair,” Josh mumbles.“Are you going to always complain every time we speak to Dominic like that?"“Yes!” Aiden says. “His aura doesn’t allow us to do it even if we tried.”"But we are still married," Charles says."Come on, Prince Charles," Josh protests."You seem to forget what you said alto me when I got to Blue Moon for the first time," I tease him."You will not let me forget that. Are you?""No," I shake my head. "Never.""Please forgive me, Luna." He puts his palms together, making an apology gesture."Ugh, what is this?" Jane rolls her eyes."Thank you," Diana says."I think it's actually cute," Margaret gushes."Hands off, Princess Margaret," Hilda growls playfully. "Josh is mine.""Sorry," Margaret blushes."Don't worry about her, Margaret," I chime in. "She can be dramatic sometimes.""Can we go back to the main point?" Jane says a little impatiently.

EstherAnd just like that, I had to watch Riley taken from my arms by Diana. She handed her to Valerie, who gave me a warm and almost comforting smile. I have been sitting in my room, crying for hours, and Dominic has been sitting next to me, but something about him seems off. "Are you okay?” I ask. “Yes,” he nods. "I have a question to ask you.""Okay,” I eye him expectantly. "Will you please marry me if I propose to you?""What?""It's okay. I understand that a lot has been happening. I'm sorry that I even asked. I don't know what I was thinking...""Slow down," I interject. "Please slow down.""Forget what I said.""Oh! I would say yes, but if you want to take it back, it's okay.""Really?" His eyes light up. He looks more boyish than his usually exhausted lycan look. “You would agree to marry me.”"Yes, really. But, since you took it back...""I'm not taking it back. I shouldn't have. I’m going to ask you. I already have a ring, but I need to plan..." His heart is beating so fa

Esther I run in the direction where the noise comes from. Within a minute of being outside, I find myself surrounded by witches and werewolves. “Princess Esther, are you looking for something?”“Boris?” I growl. Boris is standing in front of me in the circle that has been created by his minions. There are so many witches and werewolves who were on our side. “Where is my baby?”“Somewhere you won’t find her, and then I’m going to kill her. A life for a life.”My legs go instantly weak, but I muster some strength to ask him a question. “Whose life?”“Williams son. Did you forget? Let me remind you then that William killed his son for you.”“What does that have to do with you?”“William is my friend.” He chuckles. William appears from behind Boris, a huge grin on his face. I gasp, but William doesn't seem bothered. "I was just buying time," he shrugs. “I would pay anything to be in this moment forever,” Boris says. It feels great to see that look on your face.”“How does

Esther "Diana, no." Dominic shakes his head. "It wasn't final." "But you considered it?" I'm staring daggers at him. "Esther, it’s for the best," he says. “We spoke about this.” "Best for whom?" "I think we should give them some privacy." Valerie tells everyone. I know that everyone can tell by the sound of my voice that I’m furious. Everyone glances our way as they walk out. The only thing I'm able to do is glare at Dominic, who seems a little uncomfortable. "No one is taking my baby anywhere." I hold out my hands. Dominic places her gently in my arms. "I understand how you feel, but we have to do it. We need to hide her for some time." "You discussed this with Diana, and it didn't even cross your mind to tell me, or at least involve me, before you made a decision that involves our daughter?" "I..." he trails off. "I can't believe this, Dominic. You always say we are equals, but you make such a major decision without telling me." "Esther, you and Valerie spoke abo
