LOGINLucas didn’t feel better, even though he knew he should have. Diane was very quick to suspect her stepson, calling him in a frenzy after Rodger went into surgery at the hospital. “I know you did this!” “Diane, how the hell could I have done anything? I didn’t even know Rodger was in town.” “You’
Lucas felt like he could light the whole damn world on fire, and he’d just watch it burn. He was done taking everyone else’s bullshit. He’d remained quiet, reserved, and regal. This rebellion, even if no one saw, was everything he had buried. Kit and Jones got back to Lucas in less than one day. F
“I can’t even believe you’re telling me this.” Harriet’s hands were plastered to her face, wide-eyed as Elaine relayed the conversation she’d had earlier with her husband. “I can hardly believe it myself.” Elaine’s hand instinctively moved to the necklace. “I’ve never seen Lucas take this off, Hare
Speechless, she nodded again, turning around so that Lucas could help her wear the jewelry. As his breath hit the back of her neck, she did her best not to show the goosebumps forming on her skin. The Alpha wanted to push back her hair and kiss her sweet neck. He could imagine holding her in his ha

“Oh, look,” Elaine deadpanned as she finally raised her eyes to meet Ayla’s. “I thought it smelled of desperation and a homewrecker.” Ayla snorted. She certainly didn’t look sick to her eyes. And by the sound of it, she was doing just fine. All Ayla wanted was to ruin Elaine’s day once more. It ma
“What happened that night?” Lucas wasn’t expecting to ask that question. In fact, he wasn’t even going to bring it up. Yet, there he was, spewing his guts to his wife with no filter whatsoever. “What?” His question threw Elaine, too. “I just…” he’d just shoved his foot in his mouth. He had to stra
“What did we end up doing after that again?” Elaine relaxed her arms to her sides. “I’m pretty sure we skipped dinner altogether.” Lucas nodded, remembering the rest of the memory. “Right. We took cover in a frozen yogurt shop nearby that was totally dead.” “Well, it was dinner time,” she recalle
Elaine was also shocked to see Lucas in the room. She hadn’t expected him to be home, and in their room, of all places. Seeing him wasn’t exactly thrilling. After all, they hadn’t spoken since Elaine had coughed up blood in front of everyone. “I could ask you the same question,” Elaine finally resp
