(These events happened several hours earlier)Early evening had settled over the mansion, but Jack barely noticed the change in the light.He sat alone in his room, staring at the floor with his elbows resting against his knees. The sounds of the mansion continued beyond his door, servants moving through the corridors, guards exchanging orders, doors opening and closing, but none of it could pull him from his thoughts.His mind kept returning to Mira, the hurt on her face when she had questioned him, the hesitation in her voice, the way she had looked at him as though she wanted to believe him but couldn't completely silence her doubts.Jack rubbed his face."Why does that bother me so much?" He wondered.He already knew the answer because he cared about what Mira thought of him and that made everything worse.She had every reason to be suspicious. Jack knew that better than anyone.He had been Desmond's Beta, he had served him, he had been part of his plans. Even if he no longer want
Mira stood just inside the dining hall, trying desperately to keep her expression calm. She could feel Max's suspicious gaze on her and she couldn't blame him.After everything she had said earlier, she knew she had given him enough reasons to wonder whether she knew more than she was saying.The thought had been bothering her ever since their conversation.What if he tells Alpha King Eugene?She had tried to push the thought away, she had told herself that Max probably had more important things to worry about.But now, standing in the dining hall and seeing the two men sitting together, Mira realized she couldn't keep pretending everything was fine.She needed to clear the air, especially because she didn't want Max's suspicion to continue falling on Jack.She had already caused Jack enough trouble. The last thing she wanted was for her careless words to create another problem for him.Eugene studied her carefully."Mira," he said again. "Why did you come here?" He asked.Mira took a
Evening had settled over the mansion. The last traces of sunlight had disappeared beyond the tall windows of the dining hall, leaving the room illuminated by the warm glow of chandeliers and several large fireplaces. The flames danced quietly, casting flickering shadows across the walls.The dining table had been prepared with an elaborate meal, but Alpha King Eugene had barely touched any of it.He sat at the head of the table, his expression distant as he stared down at the plate before him. His appetite had disappeared and his thoughts kept drifting back to Becca.He had considered visiting her several times since leaving her earlier, but each time, the same image came back to him.Becca standing at the window, looking at Tyler and Tyler walking away downstairs.Eugene's jaw tightened. He hated how much the sight had bothered him. He hated even more that he couldn't seem to stop thinking about it."Maybe it's better if I don't go there tonight," he muttered.He picked up his fork
Kaelyn noticed the change in Eugene almost immediately.One moment, he had been walking beside her through the courtyard, his expression distant and his attention seemingly fixed on their conversation.The next, he had stopped completely.Kaelyn took another step before realizing she was walking alone.She turned around."Alpha King?"Eugene didn't answer. His eyes were fixed on the upper floor of the mansion and Kaelyn followed his gaze.At first, she couldn't understand what had caught his attention then she saw Becca. She was standing by one of the windows of the healer's chambers.Kaelyn's eyes narrowed."So that's what you're looking at” she whispered.Eugene finally blinked."What?"Kaelyn gave him a knowing look and his jaw tightened."I was simply looking upstairs” he said.Kaelyn almost laughed."Of course you were” she muttered.Eugene glanced at her."Don't start” he warned."I'm not starting anything.”She looked toward the window again then something else caught her atten
Tyler stared at Becca for several seconds. He had asked the question, but now that it hung between them, he could see exactly how uncomfortable it had made her.Becca's lips parted slightly, but no answer came. She looked away then back at him and away again.Tyler understood she was struggling and somehow, that realization made his heart beat faster."You don't have to answer me," he said quietly.Becca looked at him."I thought you wanted an answer” she said, surprised at his words."I do” he admitted as his voice softened. "But I don't want you to feel pressured into giving me one."Becca swallowed. This concerned taken a turn which she didn’t even expect."I honestly don't know what to say” she said honestly.Tyler nodded slowly."That's already an answer” he said."It isn't” she replied."It tells me you're confused."Becca sighed."I shouldn't be confused” she muttered as she fingers dug into her chest."Why?"She looked at him as though the answer should have been obvious."Bec
Kaelyn walked deeper into the forest, her footsteps becoming heavier with every step.She barely noticed the branches brushing against her arms or the dry leaves cracking beneath her feet. Her mind was too occupied with the conversation she had just had with Alpha Eugene.The heir.Those words kept echoing in her mind.Eugene had been clear. Becca's child was his heir.Kaelyn clenched her fists as she continued walking. She hated the thought. She hated everything about it.For months, she had believed that her son would naturally have a place beside Eugene. Perhaps not immediately, perhaps not in the way she had once imagined, but she had always believed that being Eugene's firstborn would mean something.Now, everything had changed.Becca had given birth to a son and Eugene had already decided what that meant.His heir.Kaelyn's lips tightened. She wasn't ready to accept that but she also knew she couldn't confront Eugene about it again without thinking carefully.She needed a plan a
Sting of her Words When Alpha Eugene stepped in, his eyes immediately narrowed at the scene before him.On the cold floor, Jack lay slumped against the wall, his lip split, his eye swollen, his chest rising and falling in shallow, painful breaths. His shirt had been torn nearly to ribbons, the fa
The sun blazed warmly over the courtyard of Blackwood mansion. Mira stood among the laundry maids, her sleeves rolled to her elbows, hands working as she helped peg down the corners of Becca’s bed linens. Though she was not required to join such work, she found the rhythm of it calming, her hear
The morning sun crept through the tall windows of Becca’s chamber, golden beams slipping past the velvet drapes to rest upon the floor. The mansion walls were silent save for the distant sound of hooves in the courtyard and the faint clink of armor as guards changed shifts. Becca sat on the cushi
The night outside pressed heavy against the tall windows, a blanket of darkness that mirrored the storm raging inside Alpha Desmond’s mind. He paced back and forth, boots scraping the polished floor, shoulders tense, fists clenching and unclenching. Seraphina sat by the hearth, the flickering fir
