LOGINKalix froze. In fact, I was pretty sure we all froze. “My wife is pregnant?” “Yes.” Natasha nodded. “With my baby?” “No, the mailman’s.” She snorted, wiping the tears from her eyes. “Who else would it be?” “I’m going to be a father?” A giggle bubbled past her lips. “That’s typically what happe
I recognized the look on Kalix’s face whenever his sister and Shayla were in the same room. The mixture of awe, terror, and bliss was unlike anything I’d ever felt before. We had everything we could’ve ever wanted and would do anything to keep it that away. “Where’s Natasha and Hakeem?” Shayla aske
Nox’s P.O.V. Six Years Later “You no good cheater!” I heard my mate belt from across the backyard. Her father’s boisterous laugh followed, drawing my eyes. The two of them stood in the stand pit off to the side of the pool and were currently hitting a volleyball back and forth. Jada and Brinley w
I threaded my arm through his and patted his hand. “Well, now you can focus on other things.” A gleam of nervousness filled his eyes. “So, is everything ready for tonight?” Shayla often mentioned how flustered she’d get by Kalix’s smooth charm, but she was the only one who failed to see how nervou

Lilac’s P.O.V. I was so done. Done with Nox and these sadistic trainers. Done with playing the role of a docile, domesticated animal when everything about me was wild and untamed. I was done with it all. The look on Harriet’s puckered face was worth every ounce of pain my body was in. Never had s
My eyebrows lifted, and as I looked to my father to gauge his reaction, I saw only darkness. “That is a rare ability.” I commented dully. While I didn’t speak the rest of my thoughts, they hung in the air between us, a poison that a man like Phineas could easily pick up on. “It’s a fickle ability,
“Well, we can’t turn back, so let’s go and see what it is. Shall we?” I asked, peeling my eyes off his arms to look up at his face. His eyebrow twitched, undoubtedly noticing where my attention had previously been, but he made no comment. Good thing too, because I didn’t want to have to lie to his
No matter how many times I looked back on this conversation, I wouldn’t be able to figure out what made me talk. Perhaps it was because Jada was there that night, and in some way, knew what I had done had been justified. Either way, I found myself telling her more than I’d ever told anyone. “I didn
