登入EZRA'S POV "Again?" Caelen looked between us. I retracted my hand from Marco's and tried my best to keep my expression neutral as I had been caught off guard by this situation and I wasn't going to let it show fully. "Oh, Ezra and I met in Voss City," Marco said, smoothly turning to Caelen easily. "We crossed paths a few times and then, suddenly, he disappeared. I tried to reach him on the phone but couldn't get through." He smiled. "So when the opportunity arose to request this meeting, I may have had a secondary motivation."Caelan looked at him. "That's why you asked to see him specifically." "Forgive me for being slightly underhanded." Marco's smile had that quality of warmth and self awareness simultaneously. He knew what exactly he was doing and was comfortable owning it. "Your son is..." he paused, glancing at me briefly. "...difficult to forget. I wanted to make sure he was alright."I couldn't utter a word. Caelen looked at me for exactly one second with the exp
EZRA'S POVI knocked and stepped back a little with a pillow tightly held close to my chest. There was no response. Just as I was about to knock the second time, Caius opened the door. "I was wondering when you'd come," he said with a smile. "Was it obvious? I am sure I never said anything though." I pouted. "I could feel your heart leaning towards me tonight so yeah, I know." He stepped away from the entrance so I could come in. When I did, he closed the door and his arms were around me. I pressed my face into his shoulder and stayed there for a moment, seeking relief for my burdened heart and brain...and maybe something else. He pulled back and looked at my face and then kissed me. I kissed him back, letting the pillow fall to the ground so I could hold him as the feeling slowly built itself within me. I let my hands move to his collar, pulling him closer and making my intentions clear in a way that required no interpretation. He responded the way I wanted, with his
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
DORIAN'S POVThe first thing I noticed was the door slightly ajar.My ears perked up and I frowned slightly. Ezra was usually very careful about his privacy and his door was always shut. Always.The first thought that blared in my head was that something had happened to him.So, I knocked gently, w

CAELEN’S POVIf they died, so would I.My fingers gripped my phone tighter, my brows furrowed as I listened to the person on the other end of the call.“We're already looking at other options, Mr Lopezㅡ”“How long do they have if we're not able to find a suitable match?” I cut him off, my voice gru
