Sienna:To say that I was angry and annoyed was not going to be an understatement. I was furious with what she had done. I was furious with the game that she was trying to play. But I also knew that taking out that anger was not going to get me anywhere. I knew that if I wanted to end things, I was
Damon:She said it.After everything that I pushed her through, she said it.She said the words I hadn’t been able to say.And I didn’t say them back.Even now, lying in bed, her warm body curled up against mine, her head resting on my chest as she slept peacefully, I couldn’t stop hearing her voice
Instead, she sat up slowly, the sheet falling from her shoulders, revealing the curve of her back as she slid off the bed.She reached for her robe on the chair.“I’m going to shower and get ready for work,” she murmured, voice still laced with sleep.I nodded but didn’t move.She glanced at me befo
Delilah:I kept my eyes on the windows. I watched her walk out of the house as I watched her leaving by herself. He was not going with her. Well, that was the start. I could use that to my advantage. He was going to be here. At least, I hope that he would.What I wasn’t expecting, however, was for t
Sienna:I had never felt more like a stranger in a place that was supposed to be home.My bridges got back home from work, so surprised that Damon did not bother showing up. Ethan was nowhere to be seen. I went to the office and was just there alone. But I was thankful for that. I managed to finish
Damon:I caught her scent before I saw her.It didn’t matter how faint it was, how much she tried to mask it, my wolf picked up on it instantly. Delilah.The woman that has now become more of a headache than I wanted her to be. The woman who got my mate, MY woman, more insecure than she should be. T
I did not know what to think when Damon took my hand in his. I did not know what he would do. I simply believed that the two of us were going to walk together.But this… this was beyond anything that I would have expected.My legs trembled beneath me.Hell, I did not even know how I was still standi
Delilah:I shook my leg as I recalled the moment when he had announced her as his mate. The moment he made sure that I was listening.The moment his voice echoed through the courtyard, sharp and commanding. The way his hand wrapped around Sienna’s. The look in his eyes when he declared her as Luna.
Delilah:The sound of the gunshot rang louder than it should have.It made my heart drop to my stomach and for a few moments I felt like everything around me just seemed to explode.One second I was stepping outside the building, I was walking out believing that maybe we had hope, maybe this was jus
Damon:I didn't expect to see her walk through the door.Even when I called her sounds, considering the fact that Sienna did not come and report to me, I expected it to be a mistake. I expected that something else was going on, that maybe she was just roaming around.But when I saw her walking throu
Giovanni:The silence in my office was never just silence.It was a weapon. A weight. A promise.The last thing that I would have expected was to send men following her, the one woman that I expected to never betray me. But if her mother had done so, why was I surprised when she did?I took a whiff
“Whatever you have to say, spill it out.”“I need your help.”That froze her.For just a second, the steel in her spine wavered. “What did you say?”“I said I need your help.”She stared at me, unsure if this was another game, another manipulation. Her jaw clenched.“You have a funny way of asking f
Delilah:The walls of the office were too white.Too clean. Too polished.And no matter how hard I wanted to deny it, no matter how much I was despising being here, I knew that I needed to be.I needed help, and I knew that they were the only people who would be willing to help with something like t
Sienna:I told myself I was just taking a walk.I told myself that I just needed a break, that I was going to be all right, that this was just a moment of weakness where I needed to find myself.I took a deep breath as I walked down the western corridor, where the windows were tall and the sunlight
I laughed, stepping closer. “You’re getting attached. That’s dangerous.”“She’s my sister,” Delilah hissed. “And I'm going to start acting like it. Or is it because you deprived the two of us from being together, from growing up by one another side that you are furious that I'm actually taking the c
Giovanni:The door creaked open, the scent of ash and leather wafting into the grand marble foyer like a warning. I stepped inside, boots echoing with cold authority across the polished floor. Silence wrapped around the place like a shroud.Everything seemed calm, far too delicate in a way that I di
Damon:She didn’t say anything at first.Not since we left the office. Not since the two of us were inside the car.We sat in the car with the silence between us stretched thin, tight like a wire pulled to its breaking point. I didn’t push her. I didn’t reach for her. I let her sit in it, breathe th
