MasukGRACEMy 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
GRACEThe bedroom door burst open.“Wait… w-what?”I did not even get enough time to get myself together before Declan burst into the room with wide eyes and his chest rising and falling heavily.“Get up, the pack is under attack.”For a second, I simply stared at him.“What?”“The pack is under attack!” he repeated, louder this time. “Rogues. About twenty of them.”That was enough to make my blood run cold.Rhys was already out of bed.Within seconds, the entire atmosphere of the room changed.There was no more sleepy confusion, no more softness. The two Alphas moved with the kind of urgency that reminded me exactly who they were.Declan grabbed his weapons from the table while Rhys pulled on his boots and fastened the protective gear around his chest.I barely had time to throw on something suitable before we were all rushing out of the room.The moment we stepped into the hallway, I realized just how serious things were.Pack warriors were running in every direction.Everyone was r
GRACEHow long had I slept for?I had no idea at this point. All I knew was that one second I had been bawling my eyes out, and the next, I was surrounded by Rhys’s comforting scent before everything went dark.Speaking of which…My eyes widened instantly.I could still smell him. His scent was so strong, almost as if he hadn’t left the entire night.Don’t tell me he was still outside?I quickly climbed down from the bed, turned on the bedside lamp, and rushed out of the room.Sure enough, Rhys was lying on the floor.And suddenly, I felt like crying again.Last night had been a lot for me. I had thought I could get through it alone, that if I just had enough time, I would be able to think of a solution. But Rhys had stayed right there with me, even when I had made it clear that I didn’t want to let him in.He didn’t even force me to do anything, just remained here hoping that his mere presence would be enough.It was almost as if he knew I was standing there because his eyes shot ope
RHYSThe entire atmosphere had changed the second Grace walked away.One moment, everything had felt normal. There had been laughter, and a casual conversation, but the moment Grace disappeared down the hallway, it was as though someone had sucked all the air out of the room.I remained seated, staring at the spot where she had been standing only moments ago, trying to understand what had just happened.What was going on with her?She had been acting strangely ever since Mr. Silas arrived, and no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't find a reasonable explanation for her behavior.Mr. Silas was the perfect example of a gentleman. He was polite, composed, and well-spoken, and after speaking with him myself, I finally understood why Declan had invited him over in the first place. There was something respectable about the man.He carried himself with confidence without seeming arrogant, and every word that left his mouth managed to leave me in awe…He was so knowledgeable in med
GRACE“You don’t want this to be worse than it needs to be, do you?” he asked.I rapidly shook my head.He smirked. “Good. I’m just here for an innocent dinner, and you’re not going to ruin it.”The way he said those words was so casual, like we were longtime friends who had simply lost touch and were suddenly catching up over dinner.But there was something in his eyes.It was pure evil.He was like a predator that had finally cornered its prey and was now taking its time, savoring the moment before making the kill.It was true, though.After everything I had done to get away from him, he had still found me.He had found us.And it was only a matter of time before he made his move.“Oh, you’re here.”I forced myself not to jerk when Declan moved to stand beside me. He extended his hand toward Silas.Silas took it with that perfectly practiced smile plastered across his face.“Alpha Declan,” he greeted warmly. “You have a beautiful home.”“Thank you.”Declan released his hand and look
GRACE’S POVI looked at Declan absolutely incredulous.No words.For the first time in my life I was totally fucking flabbergasted.“Say something Angel,” he said then he let out a nervous laugh. “I mean you are kind of making me nervous here,” he said, eyes darting around the room.“You are telling me that instead of you to have a serious talk with that teacher about encouraging violence, you ended up inviting him to fucking dinner?” I asked.He had this sheepish look on his face as he rubbed the back of his neck. “I really don’t think he is that bad Grace-”I threw my hands up in the air and looked at Rhys who was just watching the drama from the living room couch.There was that small smile on his face, showing that he was thoroughly enjoying himself.“Rhys seriously, back me up here,” I said.He stood up and engulfed me in a hug from behind, and I immediately sank into him, allowing myself to be enveloped by his warmth. He dropped a kiss on the side of my head before facing his br
Grace“You have to go back Grace… it is the only way, you know it is”I looked at Rakkel like I wanted to argue, the goddess knows I did… to much time had passed, too many things had happened. A lot had happened to me in the course of running away, form the pack.Did I make all of that sacrifice ju
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
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
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
