~Grace~ Today was the day! I had spent all morning getting ready. I didnât have any bridesmaids or really anyone close to me, so Enzo helped me prepare. His presence was comforting, anyway. He was curling my hair, running his fingers through my long, silky strands that I had put a hydrating
~Grace~ I could tell Alex was furious. He sent a bone-chilling glare out into the crowd, silencing some of the objectors, but he couldnât say anything himself. The same was for me. I shouldnât argue with the objectors, it would just make myself look bad. I knew that in a normal wedding, obje
~Grace~ No, it wasnât true. It couldnât be! My heart began to race and my head started to spin. I felt myself lose balance and I stepped backwards, grasping onto the railing for support. It was a lie! Yes, thatâs all it was. A lie. I took a few deep breaths, feeling myself steady. Christ
~Grace~ Everyone was looking at me. Eyes everywhere. Whispers filled my head, getting louder and louder. The world was spinning. I grabbed my head, and squeezed my eyes shut, trying to get a hold of myself. Everyone was talking about me, about Alex, about the future of everythingâ It was
~Alexander~ SheâĶ she was gone. Grace left, and I didnât stop her. I should have told her the truth, but I just couldnât do it. It was too sore of a memoryâĶ and to tell her in front of all these people? I just couldnât. But I should have told her before the wedding. I took a long, shaky bre
~Alexander~ âGet out of the way, old man,â I growled, but I was hesitant to take any physical action. The Lycan elder was the oldest living Lycan in the world, and his wisdom held great power. He was honored as a Lycan, and his words were always heeded. However, he had not been very vocal rece
~Christopher~ He was going to come here, I knew it. I paced the floor of my room quickly, sweat running down my temple. I could still see his hulking figure in my doorway, that night he came to get Grace. I knew he could snap me like a twig. Iâd seen his claws, even in his non-shifted form.
~Alexander~ Grace was everything to me. She had been the one to turn my life around. Since I first saw her, I knew nothing would be the same. And it hadnât. Grace had infiltrated my life, changing me in ways I never thought was possible. Until I met her, my primary objective had been regai
~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
