MasukWithout 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

[Ella’s POV] As frustrating as it was, none of us knew what to make of that prophecy business Bonnie had brought to our attention. It seemed to have fallen into that same category where I had placed the idea of being able to enhance an Alpha’s status. We had no real idea if any of it was true or
[Arthur’s POV] “I’m staying,” Ella said, insistently. I knew better than to try and pull her away from Liam’s side at a time like that. What I wanted, and knew that she needed, was for her to get some proper rest. The second we heard the news that Liam wasn’t completely out of the woods yet be
[Ella’s POV] Well, being held up in the campus Vice President’s office was probably the last place I expected to find myself that day. But, sure enough, there I was tucked into a small chair adjacent to Ava who looked even worse than I did because of her fight with Olivia. I wasn’t going to lie,
My heart seized in my chest. My lips parted in shock as I willed myself to hold back the tears that were threatening to fill my eyes. There had been times when I’d witnessed Arthur’s rage...But never was it solely directed at me. Until now. I felt my wolf cower and whimper within me from the a
