登入EZRA'S POVIt's been ten minutes. I was still staring at my phone, unable to provide any response. Should I deny it? What was the benefit in doing so? Everything about me was as good as open. I sighed. This was not supposed to be a tough decision for me to make at all but for some reason, it was. I closed my eyes and continued waiting. After two terrible hours, the door opened and Dorian walked in. "Hey," he greeted as he loosened his tie and sat next to me on the couch. I scanned his face, noticing the lines that had formed on his forehead. "The meeting must have been hectic. Look at how stressed out you are." I sympathised and proceeded to rub that spot with my fingers. "Hmm, there were just some major issues to be solved. That's why the meeting took longer than expected. I am sorry for keeping you waiting, you must be bored by now." I confirmed that. Oh well, I was pretty bored so yeah. "I went outside about two hours ago and saw Marco, Alpha of Valden Kingdom,
EZRA'S POV He leaned in to me and started from my chest. When his cold lips made contact with my warm body, I felt sparks flying across my body. I grabbed his hair for support as his hands were strongly holding me in place from moving backward. I didn't know how exactly doing this in a car would be comfortable but it was Dorian after all, the pathfinder. He would find a way around it. We were only just a few minutes into the foreplay when Dorian's phone began to ring. "Leave it. I will attend to all matters later." He murmured against my chest and then moved up to my neck. The phone rang again and then my own phone also began to ring simultaneously. We had no choice but to stop. "What is happening?" Dorian almost shouted with frustration as he grabbed the phone out and stared at the caller. The person calling me was also the one calling him. Caius. "Are you fucking mad?" Dorian shot at him after answering. "I should be the one asking you that. What the hell do you
EZRA'S POVMy phone rang so loudly that I almost fell off my bed due to shock. I grabbed it with a stern look almost as if that was enough to make it shut the fuck up but nothing happened and to my surprise, it was a call not an alarm. A call from Cole. I swiped the green button and sat up fully. "Sleepyhead." He said from the other side and I yawned, rubbing my chest as my big shirt slipped off my body. "You woke me up actually." "Yeah, I can tell. Then I am sure you don't know you are trending." He said as he slurped loudly. I wasn't so sure what he was busy filling his mouth with and my mind was just too hazy to ask. "Trending? Where?" I yawned again. "Online. News sites have your face plastered all over and people are talking about you." He announced and a deep frown settled across my face. "Huh? I will call you back then. Let me check." I ended the call abruptly and went online. Truly, my face was all over the media. "CAELEN'S ADOPTED SON SEEN AGAI
CAIUS'S POVHe wanted to escape my presence but I was quick enough in calculating his move so I pinned him in between my arms and had him pinned back against the desk. My hand slowly came up to his jaw and the kiss that followed had a different quality from the one at the door. I immediately dove straight into this warm mouth of his, gently attacking his lower lips and chewing on it just a little before switching to his upper lips.Fucking goodness, he tasted so good that my nerdy senses could not perfectly pick up what taste it was. I pushed more into him but was quick enough to support his back with my hand. He tightened his hold against my neck and had his fingers crawling through my hair from the back, triggering a part of my brain that I never knew existed. Judging by how flowery my room was in terms of scent, I knew that I had made him release his pheromones which was a good signal to me that he was high on this. Oh, that was super good.My fingers went smoothly under his sh
CAIUS'S POVThe file was thicker than it had been a month ago. I was standing at the tall desk by the window, appreciating the large view in front of me as a distraction to my thoughts. If I liked smoking, I would have graced my lips with a stick but damned would I be if I didn't practice what I preached. I squeezed my fingers that were clasped around the edge of the file and finally spared it another glance. The compound interaction charts were on top. Beneath them was clinical data from three separate studies on non-vampire physiology during late-stage pregnancy. Underneath these were my own notes too.The problem wasn't even the formula itself as it was pretty close. I had been close for some months now and close was the most frustrating point in the research because it was like...one moment, I was near enough to see the shape of the solution and then far enough that each attempt at reaching it revealed another variable I had not even considered. The problem was also the body's
EZRA'S POVAfter breakfast was over, I saw all of them off and once again, I felt so weird being alone. It reminded me of my lonely days back in Voss City. But now? Things were changing for me fast. I fell flat on the couch and just closed my eyes. I had another major thing to do today which wasn't what I told Caelen and my mates that I was going to do. I opened my eyes once again and brought out my phone. I wasn’t sure what exactly to type into the search bar at first so I considered an appropriate keyword: eyeless. The answers I got weren't what I was looking for. My mind went back to that moment again when I lifted my head to look at the man. What had shocked me beyond comprehension was that he had no eyes. He fucking had no eyes!How I had managed to stay sane after that brutal encounter only left me in confusion. His eye sockets were empty and it felt like I was looking through a dark hole. It was terrible. I couldn't tell Cole what I saw that day because that could make him
AUTHOR'S POV "No, no, my dear Ezra. You shouldn't do it that way. Instead, you have to twist it so the juice can come out the way it ought to." Ana quickly rushed towards Ezra and collected the fruit that he was holding. Cole laughed. "Don't you know that you have to handle it with care or
AUTHOR'S POVThe darkness that covered Ezra arrived the way deep sleep sometimes did without any announcement or transition. It was one moment ordinary and the next, something else entirely. Ezea stood in the middle of it. He looked at the situation with confusion. The last time he remembered this
EZRA'S POVThe room was dark when I woke up. I glanced at the window and then at the ceiling. I lay still for a moment, listening to the cold wind blowing outside. Cole was beside me, on top of the blanket, fully clothed and one arm folded under his head. His snores were light. I wondered how many
COLE'S POVI watched Dorian put Ezra gently on the bed and covered him with a blanket. It was almost noon. I had gone to search for Ezra after he had been gone for hours. Everyone except Dorian had left the mansion for something else. Since no one was around to let me know what else could go wrong
