LOGINEvelyn comes in while I’m eating, grinning from ear to ear. “There’s my favourite patient.” “Good morning, you seem happy.” “I am,” She nods, pulling a chair opposite me. “It’s your birthday,” she says. “Can I say happy birthday, or do you dislike that?” “I’m not the holiday grinch,” I frown. “Bu
AELIANA I wake up to an empty bed. The worst way to wake up on one’s birthday if you ask me, more so when you expect to have your mate beside you, waking you up with kisses, or at the very least with a cupcake and the low hum of " Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, " because that was my preferred birt
“Out with it,” I shrug. “He wouldn’t go if you asked, so just tell him.” “Okay then, I’ll find him.” He sighs, trying to get up, but I slap a hand on his knee. I did see Maddox early this morning, and he was definitely running low on sleep. We didn’t interact, I hid so Evelyn wasn’t shy or uncomfor
And there’s another sentence to add to the list. I stare him up and down. I hate that doubt creeps in because I see the moment his heart drops. “For goodness sake, Aeliana.” He groans. I shake my head, “I didn’t say anything.” “You think I got her pregnant.” He scoffs. No. Yes. Maybe. I don’t kn
“Breathe,” he tells me. “Don’t worry about that. We’ll get our daughter the best options we can, hmm?” My lips twitch with a smile. I love our gender arguments, it’s not even about the preferred sex anymore. I’m just as eager to play dolls as I am to play with trains and swords, all of which I stil
AELIANA Something strange is going on with Noah. I’ve called her a couple of times today and Anastasia answered the phone, claiming she was busy with some work. I know her well enough to know that she wouldn't be doing any work outside her job, and she has been utilising her vacation days to the f
AELIANA I should have never come back to Mooncrest. I was having a full-blown panic attack when I stormed out of the hall, and the next thing I knew, a strange woman was looking over me. I fainted. I couldn’t self-regulate so my body shut down, it’s been a while since this has happened to me.
My answer is instant, obvious. “She changed, and the things she did—” “Forget them,” Dad groans, his tone bored. “Aeliana is going to be your Luna. You will marry her, and only her if you desire for the handover to proceed as planned.” My eyes shift to Mom and she nods, of course she’d agree with
KINGSTON My wolf has been restless over the last few days, asking for his mate, and tonight, he made a show of having me walk around in search of a mate that doesn’t exist. I’m past mating age, I was sure I was going to have to choose a mate, and I have though unmarked but she’s my choice. My
AELIANA Hell is empty, and all the devils are here. I’ve learned to run from mine, the ones that unleashed demons to torment me for the rest of my life, but as I stare at the warning in my hand, I reckon I didn’t run far enough. Not too fast either. [To Aeliana Hartley, With the blessing of
