INICIAR SESIÓNWithout 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
The car ride back to campus was kept in complete silence. What was there to say? Aaron had been brutally attacked by his own wife and was basically left there to bleed out...That, in itself, was proof that Cecilia had truly lost her mind. What’s even scarier was that apparently, she’s lost contr

Come to my room tonight, I need some tutoring. I woke up to this text from Liam. It had been a while since we had done a tutoring session. He’d been busy with hockey practice and I had been focused on classes and working on the latest of my romance novel.I didn’t know how to feel about Liam’s requ
When I got to the bathroom, I threw the door open. I thought I would see him trying to sweet talk Ella into getting back with him. Instead, what I saw was Noah all over Ella. He was trying to force himself on her, trying to kiss Ella even though it was clear that was the last thing Ella wanted.I ya
The next few days were a blur. There was so much tension as Liam and his team prepared to play against Arthur, I could hardly stand it. I had never been more nervous for Liam. It was one thing to see them go at it at the opening party. It was another thing entirely to see them face off on the Ice.E
Chills ran down my spine. I couldn’t believe that Liam’s birth family had been spying on him and had gone out of the way to tell him not to date me. I couldn’t believe that they hated me so much that they wanted me out of his life.“Liam, maybe we should just call things quit. I don’t want you to ge
