~LexiaI padded down the stairs, warily keeping my eyes on Grayson. I feel bad for following him, but I don't know what else to do. It's something about the sunset that gets him in edge, and I don't think the curious side of me is going to let it go until I find out why.He walks quickly, looking around as if he's searching for someone. And the moment he doesn't seem to find who he's looking for, his face transforms into fear, and he leads me toward the front door without even knowing it. I keep a fair distance once we make it outside. I keep behind trees, my footsteps light as he strolls into the forest with determination. Where's he going?I pause, my hand against a tree I look around, catching Grayson push through the undergrowth as if it's nothing. My heart flutters with the excitement of following him. If he catches me, I might be in big trouble, but I'm too anxious to turn around now. So I continue to follow him, skipping from tree to tree like a spy in a movie, while Grays
~LexiaJasper refused to take on step into Grayson's house. He stared through the doorway I invited him into, but didn't follow me."You can come in you know," I tell him. I'm trying to be somewhat friendly, and I'm not sure why. I don't owe him anything. Maybe I wanted more information out of him, but by the looks of it, he's not having it."I think I'll go," he muses, glancing over my shoulder and into the house.The look on his face suggests I don't question why he's so anxious about coming in here. Perhaps it's because Grayson might smell the scent he leaves, I'm not sure. But whatever it is, it has him backing away."Thanks for stopping me from finding out a question I've been asking myself for awhile," I mutter sarcastically. He grins, not saying another word before he slipped into the darkness.And then I hear him say, "I did you a favour."❤️••❤️I lay in bed, my hands folded over my stomach. It's late, but I can't bring myself to sleep. Too many thoughts swirl and mix in my h
~LexiaI couldn't breathe. I wasn't looking at my mate right now. The man who met my gaze was almost in a trance. Soulless...But so alive."I can explain..." I say before I know what is coming out of my mouth. A blush has crept so deeply onto my face, I'm almost positive my cheeks are stained forever. Standing under his scrutinising gaze, I've never felt so embarrassed in life. I expect his expression to contort in anger. I had snuck into something obviously meant to be private, or at the very least, kept a secret. But his lips curve slowly into a smirk. "Entertain me," he murmurs, his voice taunting and sly. I assume he means my explanation is meant to be somewhat entertaining to him. How mad would he be if I told him it was my unexplainable curiosity that forced me into this room? I can't imagine what the repercussion will be. "I was exploring...I didn't mean to come across this room." Partly true. At first I had told myself not to follow my instinct and go into the room. But
~GraysonI lean back into the chair, looking out at the sunrise seeping through the tree leaves. Sitting outside on the deck in the mornings is a ritual of mine I enjoy. Sleeping isn't something I have needed since I became...Lexia is upstairs, completely wiped out from what I did to her only a few hours ago. I tap my fingers against my leg. I'm glad she is finally opening up to me. And giving her pleasure is something I want to do as much as possible.This also happens to be the coolest time of the day, aside from late at night. To me, this is the perfect time to think for a moment. About the uprising, about-"Someone is up early."I sit up, scanning the area. The voice is too familiar to forget, but him being here is something I don't prefer to admit, especially with Lexia being so close. "I'm sure you can relate," I mutter, catching the violet eyes of Jasper.The moment Lexia mentioned him at the party, our plan finally began. He was supposed to get her back to my Pack, and he su
~Prologue (In Lexia's Point Of View)"Cross him off the list."My assistant turns from where he was facing the board, looking at me sardonically. He's not really my assistant, in fact, he hates when I refer to him as that. But I wouldn't go as far to say that this man, Adrian, is my friend."Why?" He questions, balancing a red permanent marker between his fingers. Rolling my eyes, I back up a few steps and sit on the edge of my desk, mindful of the papers scattered on it."You think the Alpha of Love is my mate?" I question jokingly.He tilts his head. "Possibly.I kick my feet together as I stare up at the board mounted on the wall. We are here in my office, trying to narrow down who my ma
~Lexia"You look great," Adrian murmurs, fixing the collar to my dark outfit. My jaw clenches, as his fingers fiddle with the thick fabric. A massive crowd of people stand on the opposite side of the thin curtain, and the sound of them mulling around is making me nervous.Adrian pauses, as he notices my gaze wander."Be careful out there," he tells me, stepping back. I frown, crossing my arms over my chest."Why?"It's just another speech I'm doing to the portion of the Pack I lead. Mainly about Alphas, and how I plan to take them down. Sure, I agree with my own words, but I'm watched carefully by Kaden at all times."People are starting to g
~LexiaI've never been so terrified in my life. Not only was it the fact that an Alpha stood inches away from me, but that he stared directly at me as if unaffected by the words I just uttered out there on stage. So impassive, is his expression."What are you doing here?" I question, surprised that words could even come out of my mouth around him without them stumbling over themselves.His sensuous mouth curves up into a slight smile. Why am I looking at him like this?"I wanted to talk to you," he says smoothly, tilting his head ever so slightly.Adrian suddenly steps forward, grabbing my arm gently in his hand. He is the complete opposite of me in this situation; calm, professional. My bet is that I am probably still bright red. I mean, I can't even get my hands to stop quivering by my side.
~Lexia"You look beautiful, by the way," Adrian murmurs, helping me out of the car.Ignoring him, I smooth out my dress, gazing around at the beautiful view. This party is being hosted by Isaiah, the Alpha of Passion, in his Pack. Despite his Pack not being in the best condition, he still holds the most lavish parties every year."You don't mind, do you?" I ask anxiously, still looking at Isaiah's estate. People were mulling around, finding their way in at their own pace. Guards stood post in nearly every shadow I glanced out, watching us with careful eyes."Mind what?""What I have to do tonight?" I say, folding my arms across my chest.Looking around, I take in what a shame it is that Alpha Isaiah's Pack went rogue a few year
