Stormie-I didn’t say anything as he tended to the sore on my foot. He was meticulous and would gentle his touch when I released a hissing sound from the pain. When he was done, he didn’t say anything as he packed the medical supplies back in the box.With my foot now wrapped, I suddenly felt awkward as I sat on his bed. Standing up, I nearly knocked into him as he stood. His arm wrapped around me to keep me from falling back, and I felt his entire body tense.“You should be more careful. Otherwise, you are going to keep making trouble for me.” Axel’s voice was husky as he spoke, which I liked more than I should have.“Sorry.” I gently pulled away from him and took a step back. “I will do my best not to make any trouble for you.” I bowed my head with my hands folded in front of me.“It is late. Your room is through that door.” He pointed at the wall.I didn’t see the door, so I was a little confused. When I didn’t move, he sighed and placed the box on his bed before moving past me. He

Stormie-Lying in bed, I stared at the ceiling as I lay beside Axel. I was only two feet away from him, wearing only a pair of navy-blue boxers. If I reached out, I could touch his back, which was facing me. It took everything in me not to turn my head and look.When I heard a soft knock on the door, I quickly closed my eyes to pretend to be sleeping. I tensed when the bedroom door opened, and soft footfalls moved across the room. I wasn’t sure what was going on, as there was no other sound or movement for a few moments.“It is five o’clock, Alpha.” A young male voice whispered from Axel’s side of the bed.I was surprised that Axel was already called Alpha when he wasn’t the Alpha yet. I was going to need to remember that when I addressed him. Married or not, I needed to show respect to Axel, at least until he permitted me to address him differently.Keeping my eyes closed, I felt Axel getting out of bed and thanking the male before excusing him. The door opened and closed a moment la

Stormie-After finishing lunch, I felt much better. The bacon I had this morning wasn’t enough. Feeling energized, I decided to leave the room to explore. When I stepped out into the empty corridor, I realized I hadn’t paid any attention when I arrived last night.The halls had been dark, but now they were lit up to allow me to see the beautiful artwork all over the walls. It wasn’t just the paintings that caught my attention. It was the intricate designs that stretched out along the walls. Instead of being flat, like most walls, they had a three-dimensional mural crafted with clay.It looked as if one person did it, so I could only imagine that it had taken them a long time to complete. Each inch of the mural was exquisite. On closer inspection, I felt like I was walking through the forbidden woods. Even the paintings fit perfectly within the wall art.The paintings were also of the forbidden woods, except they captured the different animals that frequented the forest. I have only be

Stormie-After I sat at the table, I chose the seat across from Axel. It was a large table with sixteen place sets already laid out. Even if it was just the four of us, I was glad I had my pick of seats. After the events from earlier, I wanted to keep my distance from him.“You look lovely, Misty.” Axel’s mother reached over and patted me on the shoulder.I had to force a smile since I didn’t like that I was once again reminded that I was pretending to be Misty. Things would be less tense and more casual if they stopped calling me by my sister’s name. I knew she was being polite and meant no harm, but it still stung.“Thank you, Luna.” I tilted my head forward.“There is no need to call me Luna. You are my daughter-in-law. While I would love for you to call me Mom, you may call me Audrey. You can also do the same with Garrett. We are family now.” She pulled her hand back and picked up a wine glass to sip her red wine.I looked to the Alpha for confirmation because I didn’t want to ins

Axel-For two days, I haven’t seen Misty. Since I took her to the clinic, it was like she was avoiding me. I thought it would make me happy, but instead it irritated me. What the hell was she doing? Even in the morning, I didn’t see her.She hadn’t been in her room or the bathroom. When the staff came to wake me, I was told that she woke up early and went for a walk. Misty had told them she couldn’t fall asleep again when she woke up to use the bathroom.My mother had spent some time with her these last two days, but when I spoke to my mother, she didn’t seem concerned. She claimed it was normal for Misty to have a different schedule in a new place, as opposed to what we had been told. I didn’t know why it bothered me.“Find out what she is up to.” I told Breck after he gave me his morning report.“No need. I already have the staff reporting to me, as I don’t trust her. From what I hear, she is nice to the staff and never asks for anything. During meals, she offers to make her own foo

Stormie-The way he watched me as we ate made me feel hot. Not because I was nervous but because his gaze was intense. It was almost like he was undressing me with his eyes, making me feel vulnerable.“What is it?” I asked when I couldn’t take it any longer.“I am just trying to figure you out.” He shrugged as if it were normal to stare at someone.“There is nothing to figure out.” I lowered my gaze to keep my focus on my food.Had I slipped up? The more I thought about it, the more likely it was. I wasn’t doing what Misty would do. After dinner with his parents, I decided I wouldn’t be anyone’s puppet. I would attempt not to give away my true identity, but I wasn’t going to act the same way Misty did.Eating something I was allergic to just to appease them had been the final straw, especially after the way Axel had treated me. It wasn’t that he did anything wrong. It was more about the fact I had been caught. I was just glad he hadn’t questioned it any more than he had.“I have a har

Stormie- During the sixteen-hour flight, I fell asleep halfway through, only to wake up when Axel nudged me to tell me we had arrived. I still didn’t know where we were, but I knew I would soon find out. I assumed we weren’t in the United States any longer. When we exited the plane, I attempted to retrieve the duffle bag that held my things, but Axel got to it first. I attempted to take it from him, but he pulled it out of my reach. I wasn’t sure why he was being nice and carrying it for me, but I figured it was better not to question him. Breck carried his and Axel’s, while Dominic carried his own. I thought about asking them where we were, but none seemed to be in the mood to talk. Keeping my mouth shut, I trailed behind Axel, with Dominic and Breck walking alongside me. I almost felt like a celebrity that was highly guarded. “I will take your bags for you, Sir.” A man dressed in a suit and tie reached out to take the bags. “Thank you. Has he arrived yet?” Axel asked the man as

Stormie-As planned, Dominic and I left the hotel after Breck and Axel went to their meeting. As we traveled around town, I tried to absorb as much as I could since I wasn’t sure when I would return. The few places I thought might give me information on how to transfer a mark or have one returned, I found nothing. It didn’t turn out to be a complete waste, however.While I was out with Dominic, I expected it to be uncomfortable, but it wasn’t. He made a few flirtatious comments, but he didn’t try anything. I was able to relax around him and feel like if things weren’t so screwed up, we could even be friends.There was something innocent about him that reminded me of how I had been when I was a kid. He was excited about new things, as if he didn’t know the hard reality that I had to face. The more time I spent around him, the more I could tell he hadn’t had an easy life either.I thought about asking him about his life but decided it was for the best that I didn’t know. So far, it has
