Alpha Ezra Chapter 41
Lia: I woke up to Ezra running his finger over my shoulder, gently drawing random patterns over it. I opened my eyes to look at him and couldn’t help the small smile that formed on my lips as he leaned in to kiss me. His kiss was gentle. Softer than those that he used to give me before, and I wasn’t sure what really changed, but I could tell that something did. He cupped my cheek, gently running his finger over it, smiling at me as he rested his forehead against mine, and though I actually thought that he would end up going to work early, I was surprised to find that he was in bed with me. “Don’t you have work, Ezra?” I asked, and he chuckled. This was the third day he’s skipped going to work, and despite the pack doctor assuring him that I was fine to stand on my own yesterday. The past three days in bed have been hectic enough on me, but I still knew that they were necessary for my body to recover after everything that happened. I still didn’t know how we were going to manage

Ezra: “Lia, his scent doesn’t need to set you on edge already.” I said, teasing my wife as the two of us entered the building. “You know, when a man tried to kill me a few days ago, I can’t really find myself sitting on his same table without the urge to slit his throat. I will try my best though.” Lia said, playfully glaring at me, making me laugh. The two of us walked toward the meeting room, ignoring the number of gazes that we got. Most of the employees barely heard of my wife, but most didn’t even know what she looked like. I nodded at Armando who smirked when he saw Lia, knowing that Killian wasn’t going to like this. He opened the door for us, and we walked inside, and I nodded at the men to take a seat as they got up from their chairs, well, all except Killian who stayed seated. “Thank you all for showing up on short notice.” I said, pulling my wife’s chair for her, motioning for her to sit beside me at the head of the table. “As you know that my wife and I have joined pa

Lia: I watched as Killian walked out of the office before turning to my husband who had his eyes on me. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me in for a hug before he kissed the crown of my head, making me smile. “How can you make me so proud without even trying? I swear, I want to know your secret.” He asked, making me laugh. It was hard enough to contain all the anger that I had toward the Lycan, but I am thankful for the fact that it ended up working and that I didn’t end up slitting the man’s throat, no matter how tempting it actually was. The way he looked at me was enough to stir me to the point where I wanted to grab him by his neck and choke him, but nevertheless, I chose to mask that anger with a perfect smile, and a professional manner. It was one that I learned when I got my first job as a babysitter. The man that I worked for was a CEO, and man was he obnoxious, but it was his wife who told me to put on a perfect smile, keep a professional manner, and choose my wor

Ezra: “You two are getting close.” Armando commented once Lia was inside the house. The two of us still had a few places to go to, and seeing as now I knew Lia was going to be busy, I could tend to them without worrying about her staying alone. At least, she wouldn’t be interacting with too many people nor would she be risking hurting herself. I still wasn’t a hundred percent sure about how mom and dad would be reacting toward her when she was alone, but I knew to be careful. “It seems like we are.” I said, watching as he drove off. “Are you sure that it is a good idea to make her interact with the others, more specifically, Killian as much as she is? You do realize that she could get hurt, and I don’t even know if she realizes it.” Armando said, and I shook my head. Her words played in my head back at the club, and I had to admit, I was more concerned than I let out. “And the fact that they know that she is your weakness could come to your disadvantage. You need to keep that in

Killian: “Killian, brother, you are being insane right now.” Annalise said, taking both my hands in hers. I knew that she was trying to talk me out of what I wanted to do, but in order to survive, I knew that I needed to compromise. “Annalise, I told you a thousand times, and I will tell you again, I do not like anyone to interfere with my decisions.” I said, removing my hands from hers, glaring daggers at her as she shook her head at me. “You going to Rosemary will not change anything. That fucking seer has not helped you before, and she will not help you now.” She said, following me out of the room as we walked toward the car. I went to open the door but was surprised when I saw her putting her hand, stopping me. “You are only creating new enemies. SHE is only making you an enemy to them all, and you are not going to gain anything out of it.” “You should be partying as you would be uniting with your mate. If I get his wife to be mine, then you would have a man who is shattered
Alpha Ezra Chapter 46
Lia:“Madeline, what on Earth are you doing?” I asked, laughing at the woman who was wrapping my sheets around her as I tried to work. The woman has been doing so for the past hour, dancing around the bedroom as she sang to the stereo which was blasting so loud that I could only suspect that all the neighbors on the three kilometer radios could hear us.“I am doing what you are not, having fun, enjoying the night instead of working, and…”“Maddie, come on, leave the woman alone.” Donatello said, entering the bedroom which had the door wide open. He looked at me, and I looked down at the desk, noticing that Madeline turned the music off. He nodded at her to walk out of the room, leaving the two of us alone together. The man and I never really had a conversation, a full one, on our own, and to know that he wanted to talk to me now only scared me, especially since I knew that he hated my family for thinking that they killed his children. “How are you feeling, Lia?” He asked, breaking m

Ezra:“Hey,” I said, smiling at my beauty when I entered the bedroom.She smiled, getting up from my desk where she was working on whatever sketches she was working on. She walked toward me, and I wrapped my arms around her, hugging her tightly, kissing her cheek. Lia purred, her wolf somewhat taking control of her actions, and though I wasn’t stupid as not to know that her wolf wouldn’t have done so unless she was genuinely happy, I chose to not dwell on the topic more than necessary. “Sorry, I didn’t know that you came, I would have come to greet you by the door.” She said, making me smile. Her soft side was one that I loved, and the respect that she showed only told me how much she was true about what she was doing. A person who was respectful was one that I respected back, loving dealing with them, and Lia was exactly that. Both respectful and beautiful, inside and out.“I know, baby girl. I would have called you but I figured that you would either be busy or resting, and either
Alpha Ezra Chapter 48
Lia: I sat on the edge of the bed as Ezra showered. His words played in my head, and I couldn’t help but let out a sigh as I massaged my temple. On one side, I had his father to deal with and not to mention, all the shit that the two of us were initially dealing with. Whether it was families, our marriage, or even the man who we called an enemy. My heart raced as I heard him turning off the water faucet, and just the idea of him being angry with me stirred me. The man and I may not have our fairytale that we would be telling the world about. But the two of us knew that if we wanted to, we would be having a story to tell. Provided, of course, that we made it last. He walked out of the bathroom with nothing but his towel which was wrapped around his torso. His eyes met mine before he walked toward the closet, not saying a word. And it was then that I realized that I wasn’t sure whether he was upset with me or not. But I knew one thing, the last thing that I wanted was for him to
