LOGINSeems like the poison won't be able to complete the job Trina hoped it would...
Gerard POVThe doctor gave me the antidote. Unfortunately, the antidote takes time. Months. He said that the potency of the residue in the vial was stronger than he anticipated. Slowly, memories have been coming back, but I’m still confused.It’s been two months already, and while I’m home, Silja is not. In fact, she didn’t leave anything behind for me to remember her. Trina is still in my mind, too. To my knowledge, she hasn’t attempted to visit me. Erik did say that she is behind everything, and even though he has yet to find direct evidence, he is certain this is because of her.I keep having a dream about losing Silja. I don’t know why either. It’s the same one each time, too. Everyone is telling me she isn’t leaving me, but giving me space. They tell me that she doesn’t blame me for anything and knows it isn’t my fault.There is always a part that is blurred, and I don’t know why. I never see her in the dream. I only see a shadow holding a baby. There is a nursery here. I know I
Silja POVI’m packing my suitcases for Lennox and me. I’m also boxing up the baby supplies. In an hour, my folks are going to help me load their car and take me to Golden Dawn. I called ahead, and Jaul, of course, is angry that this is happening, but assured me that he will provide for Lennox and me.My parents are upset as well, but not at Gerard. They are upset that we are not being left alone. It seems like we cannot have a moment’s peace. Their hearts are breaking for me, because I’m a new mother, too. Now I’m going to have to handle this whole parenting thing solo, and I won't have my parents nearby to help.Don’t get me wrong, I’m not the only woman in the world who becomes a single mother, but the circumstances here are terrible. Does Gerard even remember that he has a son? If he remembers the birth, does he remember it with Trina, instead of me?No. I can’t do this to myself. I can’t allow myself to break down. Gerard is going to need space, and I am going to give him that spa
Gerard POVAround the room, everyone is looking at each other. “Well?”Erik looks at me, “I pulled surveillance at the courthouse and the restaurant. I didn’t see Trina at either location doing anything questionable. However, I did get access to surveillance from a coffee shop across the street shortly before you departed from the courthouse, Alpha.”“And?” I asked.“Trina’s attorney was talking to a man. He passed him something, but it isn’t clear on the video. The man walked away shortly after. At first, I didn’t think much of it. Until I watched the restaurant surveillance again,” Erik said, setting up the climax of his investigation. “Nothing seemed out of place, until about twenty minutes before you left the restaurant with Silja.”“So Trina’s attorney poisoned me? Why, we won that defamation case,” I said.Romy spoke up, “Silja and I won the defamation case. Trina was ordered to retract her claims and publicly apologize to Silja. She was also ordered to pay two hundred and fifty
Gerard POVThe scent of antiseptic enters my senses. I feel uncomfortable. I open my eyes, and I’m in a hospital room. The lights are dim. I feel exhausted. What happened to me?I try to sit up, but the room starts spinning. I lay back down and groan. Some people think that feeling dizzy isn't bad and that they can just shake it off. They should try it sometime. I’m lying down and keeping my eyes closed, and I still feel the room spinning around me.The door to my room opens, and I hear the soft footprints of a woman. I’m not sure who, though. Terk isn’t moving around, and I feel vulnerable right now.I felt a soft hand running through my hair. So does the scent. It also feels wrong. I don’t understand what is happening.I shot my hand in the air and grabbed that soft hand, feeling electric shocks through my own hand. “Who are you?” I asked, slowly opening my eyes.When I do, I see a young woman. She’s a redhead, with clear eyes and pale skin. She looks tired, and her eyes are red, li
Silja POVI walked out of the emergency room and into the waiting room. Romy, Erik, and Nolan all stand up and look at me expectantly. But I’m numb. How did this happen? Trina wasn’t at the restaurant. She wasn’t close to Gerard and didn’t have contact with him inside the courthouse.Now, the memories Ged and I have made in almost a year’s time have her replacing me in his memory. Our first time in my apartment, the way he would cook for me, seeing Lennox via the ultrasound, the Luna Ceremony, our one-night stand, everything is being replaced with Trina. How? That’s what I don’t understand. I get that it’s a dark magic potion, but how did she get to him?“Silja?” Nolan called gently, bringing me back to reality.I looked at Romy, and her eyes were full of tears. She can sense I’m numb and in pain at the same time. I lose my battle with tears, and Romy hugs me.“Silja, whatever it is, it will be okay. I promise. What’s wrong with Gerard?” she asked.I looked up, fat, ugly, tears slidin
Silja POV“Ged!” I screamed.The guards help him inside the truck, and his skin is cold. He is not responsive.“Get us to the hospital, NOW!” I ordered.“Yes, Luna.”We took off, and I’m holding Ged’s head in my lap. Romy is looking at us, and she is quiet, but I know she is nervous.“Call Erik. Tell him what happened to Gerard, and we are on our way to the hospital,” I said.Romy snaps out of it and grabs her phone.“Erik,” she says with her voice shaking, “We are on our way to the hospital. We won the case and went to eat. Then, when we were getting into the SUV, Gerard passed out. He isn’t responsive, and he looks pale. Silja ordered the guard to take us to the hospital.”There was a pause, and then she said, “Yes. That’s where we are going.”Another pause as Erik said something else to her, and she responded. “Okay.”They hang up, and she looks at me. “Erik is coming to the hospital. Nolan is going to stay behind an extra day before going to Jaul. Nolan will call him to explain eve
Erik POVIn one hour, that bastard Larken is scheduled to be here. Jaul and I spoke at length about him, and we both really want a piece of him. Romy and Irina will be at our sides. We want them in our sights at all times.Gerard and Silja will also be there, and Larken, who doesn’t respect women, p
Irina POVThe moment I saw him standing there, my breathing stopped. I didn’t mean to drop the tray; I was just startled. My mate. He is my mate. He is handsome and definitely an Alpha.Larken, of course, is furious with me for causing a commotion. I’m currently a maid and a bed warmer for him. I di
Trina POVI’m at my father’s company, trying to make sense of the latest failure he decided to invest in. The problem honestly isn’t a string of bad luck. The problem is my father investing in projects that have little or no real return on investment.I’m starting to feel groggy again, and I decide
Gerard POVThe morning after lunch with Silja’s parents, Silja and I woke up, and I felt her stomach. I smiled as her stomach grew a little more. She will probably complain about it soon. She is cute, pregnant.‘Gerard, are you available?’ Erik reached out through the link.‘Just woke up. Give me fi
