Mercedes POV

I groaned as I stretched and slowly peered my eyes open. The early morning rays of light streamed through my window and I shielded my eyes.

My eyes focused on the glass of juice which had been brought up to me in confusion. Why would Mr. Ford offer me juice just out of the blue? My thoughts had been all over the place as I stared at the cup on my desk all night until I fell asleep.

I picked the cup up and made my way over to the kitchen.

I couldn't help but notice that the mansion was usually quiet and seemed empty, a large contrast from his busy it usually was by this time of the day.

“You didn't drink your juice?” A voice called out behind me and I turned to the maid who had delivered it to me last night.

“No, I totally forgot.” I muttered as I tipped the cup over and the juice ran down the sink. “What?” I asked when I noticed the woman was staring at me with wide eyes but she didn't reply. What was her deal?

“Were you awake last night?” She inquired after a moment and

    Mercedes' POV My head was banging the second I stirred awake.I growled as I sat up and cradled my head between my hands.“I'm never drinking again,” I promised out loud but even now, I knew those words were a lie. I couldn't count just how many times I had said similar words in the last few months.I realized I was still in my gown from the night before and a small frown graced my lips as I tried to recall how I had made it to bed last night.A gasp left my lips as I recalled my encounter with Mr. Ford and I cringed in embarrassment. I wished the floor would simply open and swallow me alive rather than make me face him today.“How could I have been so stupid?” I cried out loud as I wondered what I would do.A knock startled me out of my thoughts and my heart dropped as I hoped it wasn't Mr. Ford.I groggily rose from the bed and made my way to the door where a maid was waiting with a bowl of soup and an aspirin.“I was sent to give you this,” she informed me and I carefully took the

    Mercedes' POV I giggled as Ethan whispered something into my ear and I clung to him as we made our way into the mansion.“I had so much fun tonight,” I told Ethan who was staring at me with sparkling eyes.The night had gone far better than I would have ever imagined. Ethan had taken us to a restaurant where we stuffed our bellies before we moved to the bar with the sole purpose of getting wasted.“So did I,” he murmured as his hand wrapped around my waist to prevent me from falling flat on my face as everything was spinning.“How the hell aren't you drunk?” I asked as I struggled to keep my eyelids open.“I just know how to hold my liquor down I guess,” he shrugged and I giggled.Ethan's gaze strayed to my lips for a second and my heart dropped as I thought he would kiss me.“I'm glad you both had fun,” a voice called out to us and I sharply turned.My eyes met Mr. Ford's blazing ones and from his features I could tell he was pissed but rather than feel scared, anticipation coursed

    Mercedes' POV I sighed loudly as I caressed the pink roses which were littered around the garden. Ethan was right, this place was peaceful and on an ordinary day I knew I would be able to clear my thoughts but right now I had a lot on my mind.A small part of me urged me to leave, to run away from Mr. Ford and never look back but I just couldn't. I couldn't leave Penelope and Carter like that, I loved them too much which was a wonder compared to how little time I had spent here.“Mercedes?” A voice called out to me and I turned to Ethan who was staring at me wearily.“Ethan, good morning.” I offered him a small smile before I turned back to the flowers.“You've been staring at that rose for quite sometime,” he commented as he drew nearer to me.“It's pretty,” I shrugged.“I don't think you've ever woken up this early,” Ethan pointed out and I let out a sigh.“I wanted to feel the early morning sun on my skin.” I replied and from the corner of my eyes, I noticed Ethan scratched the ba

    Bradley's POV “What I'm trying to say is-” I began but the door shut and Ethan and I turned in its direction. We stared at each other for a second, no doubt thinking the same thing before he bolted and ran towards the door.I followed after him as a nagging feeling made its way unto my chest and I sore under my breath as Ethan stood before Mercedes.He was whispering something to her, no doubt an apology and I wondered just how long she had been standing there.Her eyes rose and met mine and my heart dropped as I saw the tears clouding them. She had been there long enough to overhear a good amount of our conversation. I suddenly felt like an ass but they were things I needed to say. Ethan couldn't get involved with Mercedes, she was a human and he was a werewolf…it simply couldn't be. He'd end up hurting her, not like it's any of my business though, but still.A nagging voice within me told me that wasn't the main reason I objected to their match so much but I ignored it and shoved

    Mercedes' POV “Make sure the meeting doesn't last for more than an hour, I don't need them wasting my time.” I heard Bradley's voice and my heart immediately picked up.I rushed as subtly as I could without being obvious and stepped into the kitchen.I ignored all the questioning glances I was receiving from the cooks and listened carefully until Mr. Ford's voice faded away.When I was sure he was out of sight I carefully stepped out of the kitchen, checking both sides to ensure the coast was clear.An ironic smile graced my lips as this was what I had been reduced to. Running away from Mr. Ford as I couldn't bear to face him after all his angry words.He had every right to be mad at me but his harsh words still stung.“Hiding from someone?” A voice called out from behind me and I jumped.“Ethan you scared me,” I muttered as I turned to him.“I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.” He shrugged as an amused smile was playing on his lips.“By chance is it Bradley you are hiding from?” He inqu

    Bradley's pov “The rogues in Minnesota are getting bolder, we have to do something about them,” Ethan informed everyone at the table.“They have a council of Alpha's just like we do to handle their issues, why are they bringing it to us?” Alpha Ronan asked and Ethan's eyes flashed. I understood he was frustrated and trying the best he could to ensure he got help for his pack.“Because it's not enough. We need all the help we can get right now,” Ethan levelled the Alpha with a glare and the corners of my lips tipped upwards.“Why isn't Alpha Steve here soliciting for our help himself? Why did he send you?” Another alpha whose name I had forgotten, asked.“Because he can't afford to leave his pack right now. They need-” Ethan's words were cut short as the door slammed open and my children sprinted into the room.“Daddy look what Miss Mercedes got us,” Penelope giggled as she raised her toy to my face.Carter stared at me with sparkling eyes as he showed me his toy as well.I felt all t
