Lucy? No. There must be some sort of mistake, maybe he got so nervous and said the wrong name. These were the thoughts in Michelle’s head as she sat at the table, all energy drained from her. She turned to her brothers and saw they were also standing, clapping enthusiastically. She turned back to the stage and saw Lucy as she walked towards John, smiling brightly. Her mind was reeling as she saw Lucy and John embrace each other and share a passionate kiss. Lucy looked as though she were a bride wearing that damned dress from earlier. Choking back a sob, she got up and tried exiting the hall as quietly as she could, but it seemed everyone wanted to say their congratulations to the Harts. Five excruciating minutes later, she finally found a quiet spot to hide in. Away from prying eyes, she burst into tears. How could John have betrayed her like this, her sister? HER SISTER? The bratty Lucy who whined whenever things didn’t go her way, who appeared so sweet that she never once could be
A week after the battle I woke up and checked beside me, to see that my mate was no longer in bed, I touched his side of the bed to find out that it was cold. I called his name around the house but there was no response. I started panicking wondering where he went. I rushed back to the bedroom to pick up my phone when I noticed a letter on the bed stand. Dameon had written it. I read the content of the letter, he said he had a surprise waiting for me and that I should get ready as my friends were already on their way to the house to get me ready for the surprise. I quickly got into the shower to freshen up and as I got out, I heard the doorbell ring. I ran down the stairs to open the door, Brianna and Lia stood outside holding some package. Lia held her makeup kit while Brianna was holding whose content I couldn't see. Brianna and Lia beamed at me the moment I opened the door. "Surprise!" They said in unison, pushing past me with an air of excitement. " What's going on?" I asked,
All the things that were weighing me down off my chest. I also learnt to what extent an alpha would go through to protect their mate. Which was intense, and how I know not to push past his boundaries. It was unfair of me to have let Jake go unchecked for so long. I told Dameon about everything that had happened in school, like how Adam targeted and almost killed me. Dame had made sure he was severely punished. Adam was expelled and put under house arrest, although Dameon had wanted him banished, but the council thought it was too harsh a punishment for someone so young. It made me sad because he almost had me killed and had spread rumors about me. I have been working on my mental state, of course with Dameon's help. He ensures that I take my medication every night and makes sure that I eat properly, no more skipping meals. I hate feeling like I had to be taken care of, but he reassured me that he loves me every time, giving me all his love and affection that practically made me me
"I-I don't have anything else to offer. Nothing to make up for hurting you the way I d-did "Don't say that," his tone was grave. "Don't you ever think that's all I want you for. You're my mate.My reason for existing.!" He said,angry. I had done it again "But sometimes...I don't understand how you can love me," I confessed, trying to keep my tears at bay. "Why would you ever think that?" he asked me, pain in his voice. "You know why. 'Cause...because I am like this. I'm irrational, unstable. I-I act crazy! My thoughts aren't good,either! And I'm so scared of ruining everything we have," I look up at him,lips trembling and eyes glimmering with unshed tears. "I can't ruin this, Dameon," I shook my head. "You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Everything good in my life is because of you. AndI'm-I'm so sorry for not being more appreciative. For being a bitch," I sniffled "Hey. You don't need to be appreciative of my love, or that you're being taken care of. T
"Dad, at least I need to see," I begged my father, who was rifling through Eric's kitchen drawers to find something for Ria to eat. The poor omega looked ashen, a thin body of bones in Jake's arms. He couldn't stop staring at his mate, completely mesmerized. Ria kept her eyes shut, holding her heavy stomach weakly "You will do no such thing. This is a battle, Willow. It has nothing you should have to witness," "My mate is out there, fighting for me. For us!" "Your father is right. It's going to scare you," Luke interjects. "Luke, I was mutilated in a cellar for the majority of my childhood. I am already scarred," I snapped back. I regretted it as soon as I saw the pained expression that overtook my father's features. But what could I do? It was the truth. Luke had no idea how to respond, scratching at his head and staring at a stain on the wall like it was the most interesting thing he had ever seen. I was about to apologize to both of them when I heard the roar of a ven
Let me be honest with you Mr Renfry, your case does not look too promising.” His lawyer said. Logan was in a virtual meeting with his lawyer and the judge that they had picked for the case. He sat in his home office, twirling the pen in his hand in a bid to remain calm but it was not really helping much. “And how exactly is it not a good case?” Logan asked with barely restrained anger. The lawyer looked nervously at the camera eyes darting to the judge, as though urging him to speak as well. The judge cleared her throat in a self-important manner, “What my subordinate is trying, and failing miserably, to say is that you need more than just the testimonies of your family members and your staff to help you win this case.” “Why? They are witnesses aren’t they? They’ll testify to what a horrible mother she is.” “That’s the thing.” She leaned back in her chair, arms crossed then she continued, “These feel more like spiteful statements than actual testimonies of worried family me
