LOGINWithout so much as an arguing word, the men moved. Indeed, Arthur had inherited my ability to compel. I was quick to spot Cecilia standing in the center of the large, main room. She looked anxious and eager to see her son. When she spotted Arthur, her eyes lit up with pure excitement. “I knew
[Ella’s POV] I felt like I was floating on a cloud. At first, it seemed like I was being torn to pieces. The pain that resonated within me—it was like a fire had been set to burn beneath my skin. Every nerve was spiraling and coiling beyond control. I almost begged them both to stop. But then,
But that chance was almost taken from me tonight. Had we not gone to see him, the man would have been dead. I can’t let Ella’s mother face the same fate. It needs to stop. All of it. “Alright,” I said firmly. I reached down to grasp Ella’s hand. “I know I kept saying that we needed to wait unti

Liam put his hand over my mouth, “Trust me, I didn’t do anything that I wasn’t already dreaming of doing to you.”My body temperature immediately started to rise. The way he was looking at me, I just knew he was reliving every detail of the night we’d spent together.Liam started his car, making sur
I glanced between Noah and Liam. The energy in the room was tense, like at any moment either one of them was ready to let out the beast in them. Noah’s chest rose quickly, up and down in furry. He took a step towards Liam, his hands clasped in a ball like he was ready to throw punches any second f
… I left their practice after Liam had ordered everybody to resume training. A couple hours later, I was seated in a hidden corner of the campus lawn trying to get some of my homework done.
