LOGINAlex:The door burst open and Elsie stood at the doorway, her chest heaving. I cursed mentally. Did she hear us? Judging from her expression, she probably did. “What did you just say?” she demanded, her voice trembling. “I don't understand what you are talking about”“You mentioned my parent's accident just now. I heard you”“Well, you heard wrong. Cedric and I were just discussing some company issues”She stepped closer to me. “Don't lie to me, Alex” Cedric stood up and tried to slip out. “I'll give you two some privacy” “No. You are staying” She said sharply. Cedric went back to his seat, watching us in silence. “Elsie….” I started. “Please tell me the truth” she said, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.My gut twisted and I exhaled. I tried to shield her from the truth but I couldn't anymore. I left my desk and guided her to the couch. “I'll tell you, but you have to promise me not to do anything rash”“I promise”I wiped off a tear that rolled down her cheek. “Antonio
Elsie:My phone buzzed for the fifth time on the nightstand. I didn't need to check to know it was Alicia again. She had sent several messages in just a week begging to meet but, still riddled with anger and hurt, I replied none. My phone buzzed again. I groaned and grabbed it, ready to give her a piece of my mind. ‘Please, just one conversation. I'm begging you’I pursed my lips, contemplating whether to agree or not. In the end, I sent a reply. ‘Central Park, by the fountain’*********She was already there by the time I arrived, holding a cup of coffee. I was ten minutes late and if we were on good terms, she would have chastised me for that. Instead, she said,“Thank you for meeting me”I sat beside her on the bench and avoided her gaze, keeping my eyes on the fountain, watching tourists and kids walk around the park. “Do you want coffee? There's a cart over there. I can…..”“No need. You said you wanted to talk, so go on. I won't be staying long” I snapped. She offered a sm
Leo:In the hotel room Amber checked into, I sat on the edge of the bed with my shirt off, Amber wiped the blood off my face. For someone who spent days torturing me, her touch was surprisingly gentle. Her brows were furrowed in concentration and I couldn't stop staring, committing every inch of her face to memory. But a part of me was puzzled. When I decided to chase after her, I knew Cedric was a strong opposition. Or so I thought. Since we entered the room, she hasn't said a word to me. It probably had to do with her break up with Cedric.I had been half conscious but I heard it clearly. He said it was over between them if she left. And yet she did. She dabbed a deep cut on my head and I hissed from the sharp, stinging pain. A crazy idea popped in my head. Maybe….just maybe she felt something for me. She looked up and caught me staring. “What?”I swallowed. ‘Are you in love with me?’But I couldn't say that out loud, scared of what her answer might be. Instead I asked, “Why
Cedric:I entered the basement where Leo was forced to his knees, his hands tied back. One of my men had suffered a few bruises on his face. Leo must have put up quite a fight. He glared at me, breathing heavily. His eyes brimmed with anger and hate. “Leave us,” I said, holding his gaze. My men left the room and I stooped low to look him in the eye. “I guess you already know who I am”He growled in response. “What do you want from me?”The next second, my fist collided with his jaw. The crack of his bone echoed across the basement. His head snapped to the side, and he spat blood on the floor. I grabbed his hair and yanked it back. “You poisoned Amber and killed my child. And then you had the guts to send her flowers” He smirked. “I see what this is about. You are scared of losing Amber to me so you're trying to get me out of the picture”My lips twitched in fury. “You have no right to say her name” “She forgave me”“I didn't” I retorted, trying to stop my wolf from breaking o
Cedric:I took the elevator down to the tenth floor. After a long, awful meeting with the stakeholders, seeing Amber was just what I needed. I fixed my tie as the elevator dinged and slid open. My eyes scanned the floor and found Amber seated by her desk. However, my smile froze when I noticed a bouquet of roses sitting on her table. What surprised me was not the flower, but the smile on her lips as she read the card attached to it. Jealousy twisted in my stomach. I approached her desk and knocked on it gently before she finally noticed I was standing there. Her smile faded into something neutral. “Cedric, hi”My eyes flicked to the roses, trying my best not to sound jealous. “Nice flowers. Who sent them?”She waved a hand dismissively. “No one important. Just a friend I haven't seen in a while”“Really”I snatched the card away from her before she could stop it. Her eyes widened and she tried to take it back.I read the message. ‘I can't stop thinking about you and I know I don
Alex:I stood by the far corner of the hospital room, my arms crossed as Aunt Freya examined my mother. The pack hospital said she collapsed due to stress but my father had Aunt Freya brought in to be certain. He stood beside her, worry lines etched on his face. After what felt like an eternity, Aunt Freya opened her eyes. “She will be fine. She only overused her strength a bit”“What for?”“I'm a witch, not a seer, Alpha Lukas. I don't know” she said with a small smile. “With rest and proper care, she will be up in no time”“Thank you, Freya,” she nodded and left the room. My mother's eyes fluttered open and she sat up. “It appears that you're fine. I'll take my leave now”“Alexander” she called weakly and beckoned me closer. I thought about it for two seconds and approached her bed. Then her gaze shifted between us. “I'm sick of you two tearing each other apart every time. You will settle your difference or else, I will never speak to either of you again. I mean it” she threate
Mia:When we returned, Kate had become totally drunk. She must have drank a lot while we were away. She lifted her groggy eyes to us, trying her best to focus. She blinked and pointed one finger at us.“Why are you both returning together? And you……” she directed the finger at me, slurring her wo
Mia: Kate and I stepped into the forest. She had once again talked me into taking a run with her. However, Nora, my wolf, was excited to break free. I could not remember the last time I let her out. The sun was setting, casting a warm orange glow over the tree. Kate grinned, her eyes glinting
Mia:A loud knock on the door drove me out of my sleep. When I looked out the window, the sun had set. Shit! How long was I asleep for and how did I get on my bed? The last thing I remembered was dozing off in Elian's nursery. The knock became even more incessant. “Come in” Kate peeped in. “Di
Lukas:I opened my eyes slightly to see Mia in my face, fast asleep. We were both naked. Her soft, luscious breasts were pressed against my chest and her scent filled my nostrils. She moved slightly, pressing herself even more against me, a soft, sleepy whimper escaped her lips. It stirred someth
