โMy mother?โ I stammered, not sure how to process what she had just said. โYes, I remember choosing your mother to be one of my first luna dancers and seeing the beauty she brought to the soul of the new moon,โ the queen paused and sighed, clearly reminiscing. โI simply had to see you take on the
After the rehearsal I was exhausted and in desperate need of food and rest. The queenโs reassurance had been a good boost, but in truth I was still feeling defeated, especially when I got back to my room only to find Lorenzo gone. It made me feel foolish for being excited about telling him about my
โOh, Iโm so sorry about that, please, uh, do enjoy,โ he said apologetically, and if I didnโt know any better he had seemed nervous beforehand. He seemed exceedingly sweaty and anxious, and I watched him curiously as he almost sprinted back to the kitchen, nearly tripping on the other waiters as he g
My head swam. I couldnโt see clearly or truly hear my own thoughts. Everything seemed to pulse around me, like one giant heartbeat that I could feel in the depths of my soul. My body vibrated with a feeling I had never felt. I was lost, and then he was there. The only clarity in a sea of fog. Lore
I was breathing heavily trying to gather my senses. My head pounded as the fog in my mind was slowly clearing as flashes of what I had just done danced in my mind. My body tingled with a calm sensation that slowly was replaced by unease. I remembered skin on skin, Lorenzoโs body on mine, our hands
It was the day of the Luna Festival and I couldnโt have been more drained. My body ached from non stop rehearsals, my mind was numb from dealing with Cateโs taunts, and my heart longed for Lorenzo. Days had gone by since the last time we spoke, our forbidden encounter the other night weighed heavi
Lorenzoโs POV When he reentered the room, Lorenzo found Eleanor pacing. He hadnโt meant to leave her in such a state, but he knew they didnโt have much time and he figured he would explain while he worked. When Eleanor saw him, her eyes immediately went to the case in his hand. โLorenzo, what is
My heart hammered wildly inside of my chest as I felt the intense weight of everyoneโs eyes on me. The room filled with glorified gasps and excited whispers as their gazes raked over my ethereal appearance. I wanted so badly to announce the fact that it was Lorenzo who deserved the praise. It was
A few weeks later...Once Lorenzo was cleared to return home and was feeling like his old self again, he and I were finally able to commit to our bonding ceremony. It was a gorgeous summer day, the back courtyard was swimming with flowers and white ribbons.Of course, due to the sudden delay of the
The hospital, as expected, was crowded with numerous people. Doctors and nurses were whisking around to get to their designated destinations with determined haste. Thankfully, Lorezno was able to get admitted as soon as we arrived.A small medical team rushed to our sides, needing to know what happe
โLorenzo!โ Eleanor cried out with an astonished look on her face.The alpha managed to follow Eleanorโs scent through the building. When he finally broke through the various barriers, he came upon a dingy-looking door. The second he heard her distressed cry, Lorenzo smashed the door off its hinges.
Lorenzoโs patience was already wearing thin from his prior conversation with the Lycan King. Part of him still didnโt want to believe half of the information that heโd been told. But, in truth what would the King have to gain from lying to him now?But now it seemed that the alpha had much more dist
It hadnโt escaped my notice how quickly Lorenzo made his mad dash to the door as soon as that message came in from Adeline. The man hadnโt even given me a legitimate answer as to why he was going to the palace.Yes, he mentioned that he was going to see the Lycan Lunaโbut for what?Lorenzo knew how
โYou said what?!โ I shouted frantically.Lorenzo had been gradually pacing the length of the study for the last several minutes. He barely spared me a single glance as he told me of his late-night call with Cruz.In the beginning, I felt rather smug about the fact that Sterling was feeling horribly
Lorenzo knew he should have left the flash drive alone. With the ceremony just two days away, there was no reason why he needed to keep revisiting those damn files. What did he expect to find? What was he hoping to further gain?He wasnโt sureโand that was what was driving him crazy. Curiosity had t
Ever since Cruz spoke with Eleanor in the middle of her dress-fitting, he was feeling rather chipper with himself. He truly believed that heโd gained the upper hand when it came to placing a true divide within Lorenzo and Eleanorโs relationship.Having planted that terrible thought in Eleanorโs head
โBut, Lorenzo, hear me out!โ I shouted from across the study. โYou know it would be a smart choice than to wait any longer.โLorenzo planted a firm hand on his hip and gave me a stern, disapproving look. โEleanor, for Christโs sake, be reasonable. Please.โEver since he and I discovered the hidden f
