MasukGRACEI don’t know how long I stayed there on the floor.Maybe it had been minutes, maybe hours… my mind was too much of a muddle to make sense of anything.But all I knew was that in these long agonizing minutes, when none of my family came by to check up on me, I had never felt so lonely.The room was so quiet that I could hear the sound of my own breathing.I pulled my knees closer to my chest and rested my head against them.I knew that this day would come eventually.It had been haunting me for so long, sitting somewhere at the back of my mind and reminding me that this happiness I had somehow found could be taken away from me at any moment.I just never thought that it would come so soon.A day when my own kids would decide that I was not worth it anymore and my mates despised me.Maybe I was overthinking this, but why wouldn’t I?The same man that that had tormented me for years until I begged the moon goddess took my life was finally back, the same man who made my children cry
GRACEEveryone froze instantly.Faith was in Silas arms, and he was… tickling her?Rhys stood up immediately and rushed towards me “Grace, my love what-”I raised a hand to stop him before he could touch me “get out of my Rhys you do not want to test me right now” I said my dark eyes still trained pointedly at Silas.He slowly dropped Faith down on the ground, but instead of her coming to me, she hid behind him, and looked at me like she was scared of me.Otto also did not make any move to come towards me, just clung to Silas. That devil, he had on a worried look on his face, but I could see that glint in his eyes, the one that meant that I had won and he lost.“Otto, darling aren’t you going to come to Mummy?” I asked.He shook his head “you are being mean Mummy.”I ran my hand through my hair “seriously, I just came back from the hospital and you are not even going to ask how your Mummy was?”Faith just hid her face in Silas neck.That smug prick looked at me “maybe you should cal
GRACEIt was as if the temperature had dropped in the ward.“…”The longer that Declan was taking to speak up, the angrier I was getting. I glared at him with the angriest eyes that I could muster. At this point, even I did not know what I was capable of.My ears were ringing loudly, and it was like my body temperature had skyrocketed to an all-time high.“Declan, please. I am asking you a question and I am going to need you to provide some answers for me,” I said slowly.He cleared his throat and ran a nervous hand through his hair. “The thing is, when you were asleep, Silas came over. He said he knew a way for the kids to stop having those seizures, and he seemed to know what he was doing, so Rhys and I alternate taking them for sessions.”My heart was beating uncontrollably.I laughed, but this laugh was not one that was humorous. It was dry, almost manic, and even I could hear how unstable it sounded.“You mean to tell me that I was out for only three days and the best you could d
DECLAN“Don’t worry brother I’ll report everything to you-”Ever since what happened to Grace, Rhys and I were always here every single day except our duties demanded that we leave… and he would have been here too, but he had to stay with the twins during their session.Now, I had to deal with his overprotective ass.“Give her a kiss for me brother and send my love” I cringed through the phone even though he could not see me “don’t be gross Rhys” I said and I could already imagine him rolling his eyes and making that face that made his nose flare up.“My affection was not for you asshole, it’s for Grace.”“I am hanging up now.”“You-”Too late, I had already hung up the call and headed straight to the healers to check on Grace.Grace almost gave us a heart attack after we looked for her all night only to find her passed out in the backyard of the house. No idea how she had gotten there, but all I know was that when I found her there, with her eyes closed and not moving… I felt like I
GRACEI could not sleep.Not even a wink.I had been seated in this same spot all night, checking my kids’ temperature every few minutes. Their bodies had finally regulated, and they had not woken up even once throughout the night.They seemed so peaceful.If only I was not left a paranoid, emotional wreck…Each time I tried to close my eyes, all I could see was that monster, ‘S’—the way he had looked at me when he said he might just take Faith away.I knew it was not a joke.Why was no one else seeing that?Everyone only saw that fake side of him that left me looking like I had finally lost my mind. I knew the truth but I was not brave enough to speak out.The more time passed, the more I despised myself for it.My wolf was also itching inside of me.It had been so long since I had gone on a proper run, and it seemed like I was not going to settle until I did just that.I glanced at my sleeping children one last time.They were safe.I quietly slipped out of the pack house to the lar
GRACEMy entire world came to a standstill.“W-what? What on earth are you talking about?!”Coleton bowed his head, unable to even keep eye contact with me. “I don’t know, Luna. It seemed like someone had infiltrated the safe room and—”I didn’t even wait for him to finish.All I could think about was getting to my children.“Grace!”I knew someone was calling after me, but I wasn’t in the mood to listen. My children were in that safe house, and I simply couldn’t breathe properly until I knew they were safe.I ran faster than I had ever run in my entire life.The wind whipped through my hair. Trees blurred past me, their branches becoming nothing more than dark streaks at the corners of my vision. My lungs burned, my heart hammered against my ribs, and yet I didn’t stop.I couldn’t.Not when my children were in danger.When I finally reached the safe house, my heart nearly stopped.Everyone was outside.Black smoke poured through the open doors and shattered windows, twisting into the
RhysWhy on earth did she have to come back?That was the same question that I had been asking myself ever since I forced that unfamiliar scented wolf to shift.So much had changed about her, but at the same time she was still completely the same.For starters she was no longer the little girl tha
GraceI stood up on shaky feet.“Mummy where is your clothes?” Faith asked. When I turned to heck wither my kids were ok I saw that Otto had turned back, to face away from me.He was just so adorable.Before I could reply, someone placed a coat over me, covering my nakedness “Grace, where have you
GraceOtto and Faith were asleep as the plane took its landing.The morning had been very emotional for them when they realized that Rakkel would not be coming with us.I wanted her to come with I really did bu tour pack did not do well with humans, the last thing I want was for her to get ripped
Declan“That woman, why did you let her into the house?”I could understand why Rhys was like this. He was hurt the most by when she ran away and left us. I mean I was hurt too because she was our mate, and she left us. But for Rhys, it was much more than that.They were best friends and she still
