Mag-log inLivia:Walking out of the mansion after he told me to get him the medicine, since I had the duplicate keys to Madeline's stash and was the only one who knew which medicines were which, I sprinted.But just as we reached the gate, a warrior stepped forward with a smile on his lips."I'll drive you home."The way he said it was a clear hint that they weren't going to let me go home alone.Taking a deep breath, I nodded.Once I got home, I was going to plan a whole-ass escape.I was going to contact Daniel, ask him where the fuck he was, and tell him everything I knew about the Sawyer.We all needed to get the fuck out of the human world because this place definitely wasn't safe anymore.The drive was the hardest part.I kept taking deep, shaky breaths, trying my best to calm my nerves so none of the warriors would think I was planning something crazy.When the car pulled up outside my building, I got out.However, the moment six guards started following me, I turned around and looked at
Livia:I had been kept in a cell for over a day now.I had no idea what was happening around me.I missed my mother. I was worried about her.Then my thoughts drifted to Daniel, Gina, and Baxter.I wondered what was going on.None of it made any sense.How had the president woken up one day and decided to be so vindictive?I understood if he was angry with Nina because it turned out she had lied about their marriage.But one thing I couldn't understand was why he was so furious with everyone else.We hadn't done anything. And as for Baxter, Gina was Baxter's daughter.Sawyer had only adopted her after he married Madeline. At least, that's what I knew.I didn't know why Madeline had left Baxter for Sawyer, then gone back to Baxter and married him again, or whatever had happened.It was a whole mess.All I knew was that they were taking me back to Sawyer, surrounded by an army of warriors."Go inside. He's waiting for you," the warrior instructed, and I stepped into his mansion.It was
Sawyer:A Few Days Ago:“Hmmm, mmmm,” I was humming the melody of a song while running gel through my hair after it had dried a little.Taking a hot bath in such a comfortable jacuzzi after so long felt like heaven.I'm not sure why I had to miss this life.“Because a woman decided she should put us to sleep, keep us around like pieces of furniture, and use us as though we didn't have our own identities,” my lycan hissed.Saw was different.He thought just like me.He was mostly angry, just as I was.We were a perfect match.I liked the way he thought, never really considering anyone else."You're damn right," I scoffed, rolling up my sleeves a little as I looked myself over."Well, at least I only took a one-year nap," I remarked with a shrug, trying to stay positive."Tell me when you're hungry," I told my lycan.My eyes shifted to the mirror, where Nina was sitting on her knees beside the bed, covered in blood, with her hands tied above her head."She's going to be an excellent sou
Baxter:A Few Days Ago:"So, you guys have two deadly monsters wandering around the human world now?" I asked Daniel after watching the video.Seeing a lycan somehow stirred something inside me.It was as if my wolf was far more excited to have someone powerful as a rival."Well, for you, a simple wolfsbane shot can suppress your wolf," Daniel replied, adjusting the glasses on the bridge of his nose."But a lycan has to be careful."I tapped a finger against my chin, thinking it over."Hmm. What if he isn't careful?" I asked, clicking my tongue as I nodded to myself.Daniel frowned in bewilderment."What do you mean?" he questioned.I began pacing around the room, running a hand through my hair as an idea formed in my head."Think about it. If humans find out there's a monster among them, they'll want him gone."I turned to face Daniel."They'd never want a monster to be their president, right?"Daniel fell silent, giving it some thought.A few moments later, he nodded confidently."B
Baxter:A Few Days Ago:"You and your wife got married when you were eighteen years old. That's because she got pregnant with your child. At least, at the time, she didn't know who the father was. You know, she had taken part in a group activity. She got pregnant, and you, being the fool you always were, decided to take responsibility while your other friends hid."He spoke bitterly at the memory."Elgin and Graham. A couple of other names. I don't even remember who they were anymore, but she was with all of them. Well, you were lucky the DNA test showed you really were the father."He paused, making my heart beat faster."But you were in love with her."As he said that, a smile crept onto my lips.“I mean, I don’t know. I am going to judge her. If she was single and had been involved in something where I had been present too, then judging her would mean judging myself as well.”I paused before continuing.“If I was okay to be a part of something like that, then how can I judge her?”
Baxter:A Few Days Ago:Flashback:"Right now, you're going to tell me exactly what's going on," I demanded as Daniel dragged me toward a basement.Earlier, we had spoken to Livia.She told us a few things that immediately made Daniel cautious.The call ended abruptly, and we concluded that she had either been arrested or something had happened to her.We couldn't even call her back because her phone was switched off.Daniel had rushed me out of his apartment and brought me deep into the woods, to the basement where he and Livia used to conduct their research in private.To be honest, I didn't want to come, but he told me this was the only way I'd ever be reunited with my daughter, Gina."Okay, listen. I—" Daniel paused, cracking his knuckles."What?" I demanded."Look, from everything Livia told me, I've figured a few things out. But you might want to sit down first," he said, pointing to a stool that was far too small for my fucking ass."Tell me. What the fuck do you know?" I deman
Madeline:The good thing about this library was that everything was detailed and organized.There was a gray book that Graham picked from one of the shelves, and we both sat between the aisles on small stools.“This is it. Look, it says ‘The Gray Wolf.’” He opened the contents and pointed to one of
Byron:Baxter was in terrible condition. Looking at him, it felt like he was already dead. His stomach was completely torn open.I could see his organs. Nothing made sense to me at that moment, and my hands started shaking.But there was something near him that caught my attention. A small pink swe
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
