เข้าสู่ระบบBaxter:Years Ago:"I couldn't do anything. I couldn't fight them," I stammered in front of my father, crying until it felt like my heart would bleed."It's not your fault. You did everything you could. Don't worry. She'll be fine," my father said, pulling me into a hug.Coming home alone while my sister was left behind in the hospital was the hardest thing I had ever done.It all happened right in front of me. The boy tricked her.He used my sister's innocence against her and fooled her into believing he was in love with her.Then he lured her into the woods, where he and his friends took advantage of her.I was there. I got out of the car and tried to stop them, but they wouldn't listen.Two of them held me in place while they dragged my sister away.Then all I remember is them coming out of the woods, fixing their pants, and gesturing for the next one to go in.It went on for hours before they finally left me there with my sister's beaten-up body. I called for help, but by then it
Livia:Sawyer looked like he was ready to burn the world down.At least this much I knew about President Sawyer.He was not a man to mess with.Everyone knew what he was like.Sawyer could be perfectly calm one moment and incredibly destructive the next.Now, his eyes were fixed on our faces."Gina, why don't you go home with Uncle Rob while I bring your mother here, hmm?" he asked, smiling widely at her.But the smile looked unhinged, making my heart shudder in my chest."And what about Bodhi, Elara, and Mommy?" Gina asked playfully, making me realize there were three children involved. And a wife. Madeline, the great researcher.How had I not done proper research on Gina?If only she had started speaking sooner, I would have figured out so much.At this point, I wasn't even sure President Sawyer waking up was a good thing."I'll bring them all here," Sawyer continued, smiling with that same unhinged expression."And Daddy too. I love Daddy Baxter," Gina uttered, hugging the air as S
Daniel:I had expected Livia to do the right thing, and she did.She texted me late that night to say she was going to bring Gina in the morning.I was excited for the stranger. When he woke up, I told him I had good news for him.He had been pretty excited in his room, and I knew that because the moment I told him it was something related to his identity, his face lit up.For the first time in so long, he actually ate breakfast.But now it was well past the afternoon, and there was no sign of Livia. Neither was there any sign of Gina.I had to walk into a stranger's room and meet his empty eyes once again, the silent question lingering in them."Um," I uttered, trying to find the right words. "I think Livia is busy somewhere," I said, feeling uneasy.The way I said it made me watch Baxter's face fall with disappointment."Okay, it's all right. I will wait," he said, sitting by the window again, his restless eyes staring outside.I reached for the door handle, about to leave, when I r
Livia:"Um, where are we going?" I asked Rob, quickening my pace to match his as his bodyguards held me by the arms."Uh, where are you taking her? She needs to come with me," I said as I watched them lead Gina to another car."No! I don't want to go with you. I want to stay with Aunt Livia!"Gina's voice rang through the parking lot, and everybody fell silent.I felt this strange affection toward her.Or maybe connection was the right word.The way she called me Aunt Livia made me feel like family."Please let me go with her. It's not like I'm running away," I complained, realizing they were probably taking me to treat President Sawyer at the hospital.But why the heck were they dragging me?It didn't make any sense, and I certainly didn't approve of it."Well, for starters, why do you have his stepdaughter? If my information is correct, her mother and two siblings stayed in the werewolf land. How did you get her?"The moment he asked that question, I realized we were in trouble.My
Rosetta:"It's okay. You'll be fine here. There will be maids, and there will be guards to take care of you," Lady Eugenia said as she gently ran her fingers through my hair.For the first few seconds, I completely forgot about my mission. I completely forgot this woman was evil.So much love.I had waited so long for it."But what about my stuff?" I asked.The way she smiled every time I spoke made my heart crumble.Is this how a mother is supposed to be?Then Maria had lied to me my whole life. I had thought the world beyond this place didn't exist."We'll bring your things here, okay?" she said, gently stroking my cheek. "We'll give your old body a funeral, and I'll bring all your belongings here, telling everyone I got rid of them because they reminded me of you."Lady Eugenia explained, holding my hand in hers.I noticed the warriors returning with food that smelled so fucking good."And I'll always be stuck here?" I asked because I couldn't see the difference between living here
Rosetta:I had found out a few things in the last few minutes.My mom was Lady Eugenia.She was the Luna of a very prestigious pack.The woman who had helped her was Maria, an outcasted seer. Now I could tell why."So, just like you promised, I want to be part of a pack again. And not just as a pack member, but as a Luna," Maria said, straightening her posture and broadening her shoulders as if she were about to be rewarded for the good she had done.Lady Eugenia kept staring at her before she suddenly burst into maniacal laughter."Look at yourself," Lady Eugenia said, her tone harsh and daunting. "You're pathetic, old, and all wrinkly. Who would marry someone like you and make her their Luna?"I was shocked by how quickly Lady Eugenia's tone had changed. I was not the only one. Maria looked equally stunned."What are you saying? You promised me!" Maria yelled.That was when Lady Eugenia wrapped her fingers around Maria's neck and slammed her against the wall."Do you really think I'
Madeline:"Is it true, Mommy? Are we Alpha Graham’s children?" Elara asked, and my heart broke for them.The same man who had not wanted me, who had gone on with his life without looking for me, was now demanding a DNA test and trying to take my children.If Gina’s test came back positive, as it wo
Madeline:After I took my babies from them and moved toward the car with Baxter, he carried me and the children back home.Throughout the ride, my kids were crying, yelling, and screaming at one another.Elara kept complaining about why her siblings were not considerate of her and why they were say
Madeline:“Will we never be able to go out and play again, Mommy?” my kids asked.Their attention wandered away from lunch and toward the storm.The loud crashes from objects being flung by the wind against the mansion walls made them flinch and lift their shoulders.It was so dark outside that it
Madeline:Baxter shifted against the wall, bracing his foot on a stone that stuck out. He lifted Gina toward me. Her dress clung to her and made her heavier, but I managed to pull her up with steady force. When she reached the grass, she let out a weak cough.“She is okay,” I murmured, brushing h
