LOGIN“Anyway,” Lilly drawls, stretching, “where were you headed just now?”“Breakfast.”“Oh good,” she claps her hands. “I’m starving, but we’re not going downstairs. We’ll just have our meal here.”I don’t argue. Just seeing Noah earlier feels like it drained every ounce of energy from my soul.After br
Sierra.“Uhm… hello?” I say, leaning back against the wall.The scene unfolding in front of me is eerily similar to yesterday except this time, Lilly is here. She’d told me before she left that she was heading to the meeting and would be back before I woke up so we could plan something to do.Appare
The words are right there on my tongue. Every reason why I would never, not in this lifetime, give her a chance... But then everything inside me freezes.I try to fight the thoughts. Try to bury them, to forget them, but they keep resurfacing like an unwanted fucking rash.My hand clenches. My heart

Chapter 132 Ava. I wake with a start. I don’t know what startled me. Maybe it was a dream or a memory. I’m not sure. It was vague, and the images weren’t clear. I detangle myself from Rowan and sit up. One name kept ringing in my head. Ethan. Was it someone I knew? Someone I should know? Was he
I carry her, and we head to the library. One of my favorite places in the house. Sitting near the large windows, I pull down my camisole and bra. She attaches immediately and begins to feed. I watch her as she feeds. Her beautiful blue eyes staring at me with wonder and trust. I let out a small lau
“From your tone of voice, it seems you’ve been around my daughter” “I can’t say around…we’ve been communicating.” He begins. He then tells us everything.
