Elena’s pov.

How the hell was it even possible to feel my heart burn this deeply for a second mate when I had a whole husband? I asked myself.

But I had no explanations for it. Horace, standing beside me, was in one of the most vulnerable situations I had ever been in.

Worse, because he had my eyes blindfolded.

“And to make it worse, you have on this same robe, Elena. This damn robe.” He growled against my ear.

Did this man bring me to the deep forest to make love to me?

    I watched as Horace took off his jacket and dumped it somewhere before he fell onto a chair, looking completely exhaustedThat’s how I know the meeting must have been exhausting. My daughter, who was in the room with us, maintained her position as if her father didn’t just walk in, which was very unusual. In a normal sense, she would’ve rushed into his arms and barely given him any chance to rest.But he looked like he needed the rest, so I didn’t bother to ask her any questions.I focused my attention on him. “So, how did it go? You look pretty exhausted.”He exhaled. “Oh, you are so right. I am exhausted. The meeting took so many times I wasn’t expecting.”I knitted my brows. “Turns? Like what? What happened?”“Well, a pack sent us a request for a relationship. Apparently, they want to build some kind of friendship between the two packs.”“Really? Well, that’s a good thing, right? Alliances are good.”“Yeah, they are. Except when they are done with a pack you do not trust at all,

    Horace’s POV.Elena helped me put on my tie in preparation for the day ahead. It had been a few days since the hospital saga with our children, and thankfully, Ethan was already getting much better.However, there was still the thing with Elaine, and what the Doctor, who also turned out to be a traditional healer, told us.A seer at just a young age.Although it kind of made sense and explained the things we had been noticing about her in the last few months. But it also seemed unbelievable and left us a bit worried.Especially Elena. I could see that she was trying to mask it, but the fear was very visible in her eyes. If People found out, they were bound to start raising some unnecessary topics.I put my hand on her shoulder, an attempt to calm her down.“You’re still worrying about Ellie?”She shook her head, feigning a smile. “No.”I smiled slightly. “You know you’ve never been good with lies, right? I can see it on your face.”She chuckled. “Fine, you caught me.”She drew in a

    My heart raced as we rushed through the hospital hall, looking for a nurse to attend to Ethan.One blocked us quickly, looking weary.“What happened to him?”“He fell. Slipped and fell at the beach,” I quickly answered, and Horace nodded in agreement.“Okay.”She turned to one of the other nurses. “Get the stretcher immediately.”In no time, the other nurse pushed out a stretcher, and I watched as Horace placed him onto it gently. “Don’t worry, this is a minor thing. He will be fine,” the nurse said as they pushed him into an empty room.We followed behind without even waiting to be told.Out of respect for the working doctors, I decided to stand by a corner so they could do their thing. But that only lasted for a moment.I kept going to check on them to make sure they were doing the right thing.“Ma’am, I assure you, we know what we’re doing. You don’t have to worry,” One of the nurses said to me, and I felt a bit guilty, so I nodded and walked away.I joined Horace and my Elaine, w

    As soon as we landed at the beach, the kids began jumping excitedly, and I could already tell that we would have our hands full with shouts and corrections, but also with laughter.Ethan took off his shoes and began jumping on the sand. Elaine, who liked to mimic her older brother, quickly did the same, jumping on the sand with her short legs. Ethan would stop at some point and look around to make sure his sister was close enough to him, and if they were too far apart and he felt it necessary, he would grab her hand and pull her out without even saying anything. Especially if he felt that whatever situation they were in seemed like a dangerous one.We stood a few meters away, watching everything unfold.Are you saying that?” Elena asked quickly, turning to me.I nodded. “Of course I’m seeing it. He seems so…”“Protective. Even at his young age,” she quickly replied, and I nodded in agreement.“It’s a good thing. It means if a situation called for it, we can’t leave them together and

    Elena’s POVIt had been three years since the whole saga went down. Three years since all our lives changed in one way or another.Vivienne lost a lot following the exposure of what she did and had never been able to bring herself to pay a visit to the White House again, but recently, I heard she had begun to stand on her feet again.And for us in the White House, our mornings were usually the same.I woke up to the shuffling of small and medium-sized feet on our bed. “Mama, Mama,” The duo shouted, relentlessly, trying to pull me out of my sleep.“Oh, you guys, why don’t you let Mama sleep, huh?”Ethan grinned widely. “Because we want to play with you.”“Are you kidding me? So you’re not going to let me sleep because you want to play with me?”“Yes, Mama,” Elaine replied.I let out a tired sigh. “You both are still supposed to be sleeping, isn’t it too early? How would you even get up this early?”“Elaine got up first and came to my room,” Ethan quickly replied.“Of course, I couldn’

    Horace’s POVA few weeks went by, and it was finally time for the fourth hearing of Vivienne.Elena and I sat side-by-side in the courtroom as a sentence was read out for Vivienne. I decided to let the court handle it themselves because if I did it, I could go overboard with the sentence.“Madam Vivienne, for all the atrocities you committed, the court hereby sentences you to two years in prison with an extra six months of community service. Do you accept this or do you wish to appeal?”As soon as the judge asked the question, she turned around to meet our gaze, especially Elena’s.She sighed before turning back to the judge.“I accept. I accept whatever punishments the court has decided to pay me because I deserve it.”Silence stretched in the room.“But I have just one request to make, if that is okay with the court.”The judge stared between her and us for a moment before nodding her head slightly. “I will allow it as long as you promise not to say anything rude or disrespectful
