Chapter 21: Things Buried in the pastAnaya’s P.O.V:The confession threw me majorly off balance but before I could ask him more about it, the doorbell to our shared suite rang twice and then twice more after a short interval. Whoever was on the other side, sounded royally pissed off.Lancelot strode through the doors to his room and with a glance behind his shoulder, told me to stay right where I was as he made his way to the door. However, ignoring his orders, I followed behind and stood behind him as Lance unlocked the door to a smirking Trevina and Antony who had the look of a mix of anger and betrayal on his face.“Ace?” Lance asked, sounding just as surprised to see him as Ace did.Ace didn’t talk, he simply looked at Lance with that betrayed look in his eyes, meanwhile Trevina looked at the brothers with unhidden glee, her hands folded right under her breasts so that they nearly spill

Chapter 23: UnionLancelot’s P.O.V:They answered the phone on the third ring.“Prince Lancelot, what a pleasant surprise!” Came the hoarse voice of the woman who was in charge of the New York division of the Hunters Council. “To what do I own this pleasure?”“You remember that there had been a public shooing outside my building last month?” I asked Tiara Cornwell.“Yes,” she said. “I remember you getting shot. Why?”“The bullet traces back to someone from your unit.”“Impossible!” Her voice sounded rougher than usual. “My squadron will never go against my orders!”“Well, someone has and if you don’t want this to turn into a big issue, do something about it.” I told her. “I’ll have my people send you the image of the man responsible tomorrow morning.”

Chapter 25: Unexpected GuestsLancelot’s P.O.V:It was an hour later, when I was inside the shower, that I felt it, that familiar tug on my mind that always told me when she was nearby.“Damnit!” I cursed as I turned the shower off and then started drying up so I could get this meeting over with. Why the hell was she here?I dressed in a pair of black pants and a crisp white shirt before running my hands through my damn hair. Once I was ready, I checked on Anna to find her fast asleep. Good. She’d need lots of sleep to get back some of her energy. I locked the door to our suit on my way out and went downstairs, to the waiting area where I knew she would be. And I was proven right.“Ah! There he is. I’ll leave you two alone to catch up.” Melinda gave a smile coated with venom before she went in the direction of her suit.After the viper had left, I turned to

Chapter 27: Ghosts from the PastAnaya’s P.O.V:“Tell me about how your father died.” It was Ace who asked that question while Lance sat beside me on the couch.We were still at Chloe and the shop has been temporarily closed to other customers for ‘emergency repairing’ purpose. Ace had arrived within half an hour along with a whole bunch of people, both human and Incubi, who were now looking all around the store, trying to figure out what happened. If my dead father suddenly giving me a visit wasn’t reason enough, Lance was also worried about the fact that someone had actually locked me inside the trial room and their purpose had yet to be determined.“He died in a car crash, ten years ago. He’d gone to Long Island for a company meeting but he never came back.” I told him calmly. Whatever Lance had done to me when he’d taken me out of that trial room, either he w

Chapter 29: The EventAnaya’s P.O.V:I had already known that Lance would look breathtaking today; after all, it was his party. But no matter how prepared I’d thought I was for full impact, it was nothing compared to the real impact I got when he entered the room.He was wearing all black, from jacket to pants to shirt and even shoes; the only prominent feature that stood out was his pure gold tie and his topaz eyes. His hair was gelled back to give a sleek look and it brought attention to his square jaw and sharp nose. I’m not really a fan of men with gelled back hair but on Lance, it looked pure heavenly.“Wow!” We both said at the same time.He shook his head. “There’s nothing special about me, Anna. But tonight, every woman in the part will be jealous of you.”Rather than pleasing, that compliment was rather horrifying. “I don’t want to stand ou
