LOGINTaking advantage of the crowd, Cecilia tries to evade Ethan and flee in between them. But unfortunately for her, she was grabbed by her forearm and pulled inside the boy’s locker room. With someone shutting the door. “You are not going anywhere. ” Ethan growls, caging her within his arms. His warm breath fans her chest as she is drawn in his brown orbs. Cecilia’s breath hitches as his manly scent infiltrates her nostrils and her wolf howls for closure. “Why do I feel something for him? When he touched me, it didn’t feel weird. It felt like I belonged in the warm embrace of his touch.” Cecilia murmured to herself. But that can’t be true unless he is her mate. Funny enough, Cecilia has already rejected her mate. This doesn’t make sense, because it’s only a few are privileged to have a second chance mate. The moon goddess surely wouldn’t bless her with another mate when she was the one who rejected her mate. After rejecting her mate who was her ex-husband, Cecilia is trapped between the Alpha who refuses to let her go, and a bully whose very touch feels like home. But at what cost? With her peace and future on the line, She was left with two choices, neither trust the man who promised her protection nor lose herself to her past.
View MoreNo words came from Cecilia; her gaze drifted downward, heavy with thought. Then fluttered to the stairwell behind him.The air pulsed with wordless weight.Finally, a breath escaped Cecilia's lips, her gaze unmoved from the floor."No," she whispered, the words barely a breath. "There's nothing left in me for Andrew."Ethan remained still. His face stayed inscrutable. Cecilia turned away and then came to a stop, her hand found the worn edge of a wooden table by the wall.Her voice returned, soft yet distinct. "My frustration didn't stem from lingering feelings for Andrew." She turned back to look at Ethan once more. "It was Annie," she replied curtly. "Annie didn't inform me about her affair with Andrew, even though we slept under the same roof."Ethan crossed his arms, observing her. "So you're angry that she didn't tell you?" "Exactly my point!" Cecilia raised her hands in exasperation. "Annie is meant to be my closest friend." She was aware that I had a past with Andrew. She w
"Annie," Andrew spoke, his tone gentle yet firm. They were positioned near the railing outside the eatery, with the lights of Northbrook shining in the backdrop. "Will you officially be my girlfriend?" Annie gazed into Andrew's eyes, looking for any sign of doubt, but found none. She smiled, gradually. "Certainly, Andrew. I will." Andrew's grin spread across his face. But before his arms could wrap around her in joy, Annie pressed her hand to his chest, stopping him before words could slip free and change everything."Rest a while," she continued her words like silk. "Only when I've spoken to Cecilia about us will it be official."Andrew's smile faded slightly. "Cecilia?" She signaled agreement with a nod. "She is my closest friend, Andrew." And... she was your ex-wife." Andrew looked away for a moment, then turned back to her. "Annie, you're not obligated to Cecilia." "I do owe her that much," she said, not unkindly interrupting. "Not because she was your ex-wife, but because s
Sadie stood on the terrace, gazing over the expansive grounds of Blackwood estate. The wind softly ruffled her silver hair, yet her heart was a storm of reminiscences. "You no longer need to bear this," Ethan said, his tone calm next to her. Sadie faced him, her eyes filled with tears. "You know, for many years, I promised I'd never come back here." I despised this place. "Because of the effect it had on me." She stopped, allowing the words to rest in the silence. "However, seeing you and Andrew at peace with one another like siblings gives me joy." Ethan nodded with gravity. "We have erred." Our ancestors behaved more poorly. "However, we are not like them." Andrew emerged from behind them. He moved forward gradually, pausing just before reaching where Sadie and Ethan were standing. Sadie looked into his eyes. "I wasn't nice to you," Andrew confessed. "None of us were." And I can't take it back. However, I assure you that no matter what occurs from this point on, your name wil
Two days later, Cecilia showed up at her office early, attempting to immerse herself in work. However, an interruption arrived with a knock on her glass office door. It was Miriam, her aide. "Andrew is here," she stated gently. Cecilia's pen halted in the middle of a sentence. "Why?" "He mentioned he wanted to stop in to clear up some details from yesterday's briefing." Cecilia gulped nervously. "Have him come in." Andrew entered with his hands in his pockets, glancing around her office before focusing on her. "I didn't intend to surprise you," Andrew remarked. "What is it that you want, Andrew?" she inquired, remaining standing. "To talk about us. I promise you that I can't take more than fifteen minutes." He said while maintaining eye contact with Cecilia. Andrew and Cecilia slipped onto the rooftop, where the breeze wrapped around them. Andrew watched her approach, the corners of his eyes softening with each step she took."You need to put an end to this," Cecilia stated.
