LOGINMadeline:I stared with my eyes wide open.My body didn't feel light.It felt as though heavy weights were tied around my arms and legs.Every time I tried to get up, I felt weak and wanted to lie back down.At the same time, watching him walk around the dimly lit room with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist, his hair still wet and droplets of water clinging to his body, only convinced me that I was dreaming.But why couldn't I move?Was I experiencing sleep paralysis?"You woke up?"The voice came from the man.The man I couldn't even bring myself to call Baxter because I was afraid.He wasn't.He was dead.I couldn't fool myself.He stood in front of the mirror and ran a hand through his wet hair before turning on the blow dryer and drying it."You're not real," I whispered.I noticed his movements slow down.My eyes stayed fixed on his face through the mirror's reflection.His eyes shone beautifully.His muscles, his abs, the tattoos covering his body, every detail was so
Nina:Life has been spectacular.I thought that when I came back to the human world and met Sawyer, he would be happy to see me.I mean, one of his wives was in werewolf land, so he would need someone.Besides, we'd been sleeping together even when Madeline was around.So now, he would need me more than ever.However, everything changed when he told me he suddenly wanted to be loyal.He wanted to be a one-woman man.That wasn't Sawyer speaking.That was something Madeline must have taught him.She must have told him to choose one woman, and he decided to drop me like I was nothing.I came up with the plan alongside my father immediately.Thankfully, after Madeline left, my father had taken all the keys to her private stash of herbs and medicines.We knew exactly which one to use to cause damage and chaos.There was a certain medicine that could put anyone into a coma.The only way to wake them up was with another specific medicine.So, with a very heavy heart, I had to put Sawyer to s
Daniel:Few Days Ago:After speaking with Baxter and making the plan for me to play the good guy and show President Sawyer that I was on his side, I decided to visit him.At the same time, I could almost feel my heart thundering in my temples.I'd never done anything like this before. I was a good kid.Ever since I grew up, I'd never had the kind of power that let me make risky decisions.So, this was the first time I was doing something beyond what Daniel would normally do.More than ever, I was careful not to make a mistake.When I arrived at the President's mansion, I greeted the guard with a slight bow of my head."I need to speak with President Sawyer. Has he arrived home yet?" I asked.The guard glanced at another guard before looking back at me."I used to work with Dr. Livia, the head of research. I have something really important to tell President Sawyer," I explained, showing the envelope I was holding in my hand.I'd had Baxter write a fake letter. By fake, I meant everythi
Madeline:He stood behind the podium, looking tall and broad, as though he hadn't spent a single day in a coma.His haircut was fresh. His beard had been neatly trimmed, leaving just enough stubble to suit his style.He wore several silver rings and chains, one of them hanging around his neck.Black suited him so well.It always had.But it wasn't possible.Baxter was dead.So who was he?Who was the man impersonating my husband?Then he spoke, and the voice— it was Baxter's."He's good at it, isn't he?" Daniel remarked.But I didn't answer him.It was as if I were looking at a ghost.Tears welled in my eyes before I gasped and looked away.The next time I looked back, I found him staring at me, his eyes boring into mine.We silently held each other's gaze.Goosebumps spread across my skin before I finally stepped away from the balcony."I—I'm dreaming," I whispered, placing a hand on my stomach."Are you okay?" Daniel asked, stepping closer to check on me.I pushed him away, searchi
Baxter:"Sir, she is being very difficult."Daniel spoke over the phone while I got ready for the big event, standing in front of a tall mirror as I adjusted my coat and sleeves.People moved around me, helping me get dressed for the event.Today, I was taking charge of the human world as its President."Be gentle with her. It seems like she's been through a lot," I said, my jaw clenching as I stared at my reflection."Well, I've asked her to wear the dress. Hopefully she'll come out of the bathroom soon. Then I'll tell her about the event. I'll bring her there, don't worry," Daniel assured me before ending the call.I trusted him.It was just that I felt incredibly strange.Her room was directly above mine.Sometimes, when she paced heavily, I could hear her footsteps from below.With every step she took, my heart pounded harder.It made no sense to me.I knew she wasn't mine.She had never been only mine.I'd learned enough over the last few hours to understand that.At some point,
Madeline:"Now do you believe me?" Daniel asked.My heart began to skip beats.So they really did have my daughter.Then why the hell did he keep referring to Elara as ‘my children?’"I'm not bluffing with you. We're not bluffing with you," Daniel corrected himself, giving me a weak, empathetic smile.But I was still stuck on one question.Where the fuck were the people I had come here with?"Tell me everything," I demanded.The anger in my voice had faded because I needed to know exactly what had happened.Why did he keep saying my children?Did Sawyer somehow get Bodhi here as well?I mean, humans had made deals with werewolves many times before.Maybe he had already made a deal and somehow found Bodhi."Please, if you'll sit down, I'll tell you," he requested.This time, I didn't argue.I took a few slow steps to the side before sitting near the head of the bed, keeping a considerable distance between us.Not because I was scared of him, but because, for some reason, I wasn't tryin
Madeline:Sometimes life becomes extremely unfair to some people.I used to hear about people who were born with bad luck, and I used to wonder how true it was, until I realized I was one of those people.As if it was not enough that my daughter had been snatched from me, my dear husband, the man I
Madeline:Her words made me look at Baxter, who visibly clenched his fists. He suddenly pulled away from me, as if to show he did not need support.It did not look right. That was not how he usually handled himself. I honestly did not understand what was wrong with him. Losing a crown should not ma
Madeline:We reached a shallow stream tucked between rocks and surrounded by tall grass and trees.The water was clear enough that we could see fish drifting near the surface and darting through the darker patches.My kids started to jump up and down, pointing toward the fish and clapping their han
Madeline:I could not understand why Elgin reacted this way with me. I went back home and sat on the couch thinking about my life decisions and how people quickly changed around me. I could give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was worried for his daughter, but Elara was his daughter as well
