~Grace~ âI heard about something that will make you as happy as a puppy,â Alex told me with a mysterious smile on his face. He had asked me to walk with him through the gardens, and after being so nervous about last night's incident, I couldnât refuse. What if he found out? Or what if he knew al
âI have the papers proving his financial discrepancies right here,â I say, holding up a file. More murmurs went around the room, and I handed it to the gray-haired man, who looked them over, squinting through his glasses. I let the documents get passed around, letting the information sink in. This
~Grace~ âWhat do you mean? Weâre divorced, the papers are right here!â I cried, slapping my signed divorce documents on the desk. My lawyer sat across from me, crossing his legs as he sat in his chair. He was a graying, brunette man with glasses, in a brown suit. He sighed. Alex stood behind me,
My mind wandered as I thought about this possibility. If I asked him, would it be a temporary thing? Or what if weâĶ I blushed at the thought. What if we stayed together? Had he ever marked anyone? Would I be his first? Would he even want to mark me? I shook my head to clear my thoughts. No, wh
Simply ask him nicely? Beg him? Threaten him? Demand him? Liam was an incredibly jealous and stubborn man, it would not be easy to get him to give up what he wanted so badly to hold onto. I mean, we were already divorced! His reputation was down the drain, and I didnât want him back. He couldnât c
I took a step back, and I bumped into a large warrior, who blocked me. My heart pounded quickly. This had quickly become a situation I was no longer in control of. A yelp cried through the air and I turned around. What was that? The warriors shuffled as I saw the tall figure of Alex pushing thro
~Grace~ Today was the day. Iâd finally be free from Liam once and for allâĶ I hoped. I stared in the mirror at myself, and even I could see the anxiousness in my eyes clearly. After all, I couldn't force Liam to do anything, and Iâm not even really sure what my plan wasâĶ Simply ask him nicely?
âAnd you will never leave this property ever again,â Liam continued, his eyes wide with intent. Oh my god, he really meant it. My stomach twisted. Heâd gone insane! I took a step back, and I bumped into a large warrior, who blocked me. My heart pounded quickly. This had quickly become a situatio
~Grace~ Was I too late?I rushed through the forest, the branches of the trees whipping through my hair and leaving marks on my face.I could hear commotion in front of me, but I wasnât near the fight. Not yet.Was Alex okay?Was the clan okay?I could hear a sea of yelling and bangs. A sour
~Grace~ We couldnât win on our own.This was far greater than just Alex and I and even the entire Black Lycan clan, this was happening with all werewolf packs in the area.If we stood a chance at winning this fight, everyone had to team up together. No more Lycans and werewolvesâit was all of u
~Grace~ couldnât believe it. I was pregnant!Alex had taken me out on a trip out of the city to celebrate. I had on a flowy dress, my hair pulled up into a bun. The warm breeze felt nice against my skin.I held Alexâs hand in mine as we walked down the street of the small, cozy town we visited
~Grace~ It didnât hurt.Not like Liamâs, not like Chrisopherâs.It didnât hurt at all.Was he even doing it?Was this how it was supposed to feel?It was as if he connected a part of his very soul to me. I felt a buzzing in my chest I couldnât describe. It felt like he was just kissing my neck,
Alexâs POVWas this just another one of his manipulation tactics?I stood up, crossing my arms. I really didnât even know what to say. I never expected an apology from Christopher of all people, I didnât think he was capable.âIâm sorry I caused so many problems for you,â Christopher continued, his
~Grace~ âI can explain,â I quickly spilled, my heart pounding. This was awful. I never wanted him to find out this way, now it looked even worse. Not that it wasnât bad before, but now it made me look five times more guilty. Alex stayed frozen, his hand still in my hair. I couldnât read
~Grace~ âClose your eyes,â Alex whispered into my ear, his breath warm against my cool skin. I shivered. He held me by my waist as we stood face-to-face in his bedroom. My eyes fluttered close. What did he have in mind? I felt his hands slip away from my body, and I heard him walk somew
The Elder Lycan was locked away behind such a well-secured door in case he shifted again, but it seemed like he accepted his captivity, at least for now. Would he try to break free? Run away? But where would he even go? I had a bigger issue I needed to be concerned about as well. Could Alex an
~Grace~ Thank god everything worked. It was an ordeal getting everyone back on their feet. The entire clan had been affected by this curse, and everyone was hungry, cold, and exhausted. There were only a few of us who felt well enough to take care of people. Even Liam and his mother stay
