LOGINI apologize for not updating yesterday, lovelies. I visited my mother and was unable to write. Regular updates begin today. Loveâ€, Fireworksđ.
Caroline settles into the car seat, adjusting her jacket as the engine hums quietly. Before the driver can shift gears, a heavy thud hits the window. Hunter stands outside in the rain, knocking sharply on the driver's side glass. The chauffeur rolls down the window, letting in a gust of damp, chilly air.Hunter looks past the driver, his sharp gaze locking briefly on Caroline.âFollow my SUV closely,â he commands, his voice tight and authoritative. âThe palace roads are heavily restricted, and the security grid is fully active in this weather. Donât lose sight of my vehicle.âThe chauffeur nods respectfully, rolling the window up as Hunter returns to his armored SUV.Their car moves forward, passing through massive stone gates that mark the boundary of the Lycan kingdom. The change is immediate, the air thickening with the weight of ancient power and long-standing traditions.After driving for almost half an hour, the car finally navigates the winding, ascending roads and comes to a h
Caroline stares at the shattered pieces of her phone lying on the pavement, her chest rising and falling with every ragged breath.Shock. Betrayal. Rage. The emotions crash into each other until they burn like fire in her chest.âCaroline!â Aida rushes to her side. âMy baby, what happened?âShe grabs Caroline's trembling shoulders, her face filled with worry. âWhat did Darius say to upset you like this?âCaroline slowly looks up at her mom's face, too angry to speak. Her vision blurs around the edges as Silver slams against the walls of her mind, desperate to break free.âItâs that viper!â Caroline explodes, her voice shaking with anger. âI can't believe I let her get inside my head. I actually listened to her. I let her lies make me doubt my own mate.âAida's eyes soften with concern as she gently squeezes Caroline's shoulder.âCalm down, Caroline,â she says softly. âTake a deep breath. This is exactly what she wants. She wants you to be angry. But try to imagine her face once she se
Author:~~~âNo!âAida screams, jolting awake. Kristopher sits up, holding her close. Aida burst into tears, her face against his chest, trembling uncontrollably.âBreathe, my love,â Kristopher whispers, his hand gently rubbing her back.âYou're safe. Calm down. Talk to me. What happened?âBut Aida doesn't answer; she only cries harder, overwhelmed by fear.She knows Hades was here; Kristopher told her about it too.She was planning to tell Caroline, but she somehow had discovered everything about her. Now Hades is coming. And this time⊠She had no idea how to stop him.âHe's coming for meâŠâ she sobs. âKris, I'm scared. He's the devilâŠâKristopher tightens his grip around her in reassurance.âWe'll find a way through this. You're not facing him alone.âAida nods against his chest, though the ache in her stomach tells a different story, for the first time in a very long while⊠She isn't certain they'll survive.Ever since she forced fate's hand and made Caroline meet Darius early, her
Caroline: ~~~ âCarolineâŠâ Darius says quietly. âBelieve me. Valerie is only carrying my child. I swear that's all there is between us. You're the only woman I love.â My heart stops. âWait... did he just say Valerie?â I ask Silver. âThe Valerie we both know? It can't be... has she been by Darius' side this entire time?â âValerie?â Silver asks. âYes, that's her name.â Hearing Darius confirm it, I don't know when I break through the restraint of Silverâs barrier. âOh Goddess, Darius. Is Valerie a vampire?â I ask, and I can already tell his surprise. âYou know Valerie.â He doesn't ask, he states. âYes. Valerie isâŠâ I trail off when I hear the very person we're talking about speak. No wonder I felt her voice sounded familiar the last time I eavesdropped on Darius' phone call. âDarius, I came to spend time with you. It's been three days since you last visited me. I'm stuck in bed, doing everything I can to protect our child, yet you haven't come to see me even once,â Valerie says
Hello, I'm sorry for reaching out like this. This past few days has been hard, there's a lot going on. Which is why I haven't been able to update. I hope you all can forgive me for the late note. I mistakenly uploaded a draft and I know a lot of you have already paid to open it, but please be rest assured, I will replace it with the correct chapter once I get in touch with my Editor. Sorry for the trouble. Thank you.
Caroline: ~~~ Dr. Sheila exits the room after finalizing my examination, leaving my mother to head down to the kitchen to prepare a meal. The heavy silence of the room settles around me. I step quietly toward the crib where my babies sleep, their tiny breaths rising and falling in perfect synchronization. A wave of profound guilt washes over me. I lightly brush a hand over Sophia's soft hair. âMy sweet babies, I am so sorry. Mommy is finally awake. I am right here, and I promise I am not going anywhere.â Just as my fingers leave her cheek, the sharp vibration of my phone breaks the quiet. I scramble to snatch it off the nightstand, desperate to prevent the noise from waking them. The caller ID reads Darius. A fragile smile touches my lips before I can stop it. It feels completely surreal that three whole days have already passed since we last spoke. I press the phone to my ear, keeping my voice down to a soft whisper. âDarius. I know you must have been worried.â âCaroline, wha
I don't knock. I don't hear what Anna is saying. I push the door open with enough force to make the glass partition rattle. Adrianâs âdeadâ wife, what's her name again, Julianna, doesnât even flinch. She just looks at me as a slow, condescending smirk spreads across her face. âGet out,â I say, my
It is getting dark when we arrive at the mansion. Itâs located in the heart of the city, a grand display of Cassianâs power and wealth.The car pulls in the driveway, and I carry Sophie, stepping out as Cynthia gets out to begin unloading our luggage.âWelcome, Madam. Iâm Lia, the housekeeper. I wi
Angela: ~~~ âCassian, why are you looking at me like that? Did you do something to Adrian?â The words spill out before I can stop them; the air in the room has shifted, turning heavy. Cassian is staring at me with that dark, predatory gaze, which makes me afraid of him. âYou want to go back to h
Angel:~~~âGo. Now. I need you safe.â Cassian says, and I've never felt so useless.He wants us safe, but what about him? What if I don't get to see him again?I look into his eyes and almost protest, yet I know if I stay here, I will only be an extra burden.I let him go and follow Virus, and as
