{ Laurent }Surprisingly, Erika is quite rational and easy when she doesn't have to be calming down her omega wife, so she sits across from me and gives me her full attention in such a calm way that it kind of confuses me. "How did you get Kingsley to forgive you?" She asks suddenly, looking me up and down slowly as if she's studying me, her eyes stopping on the bloodstain on my chest, "Explain that to me so I can forgive you, too.""Well... I sincerely apologized, which I had never done before. That got his defenses down for a minute," I begin. Erika keeps her face empty of emotion, "Kingsley can be difficult and closed off, but he knows as much as I do that things weren't always my fault so when I explained how everything was from my point of view, he let me know how I've hurt him exactly. It was the first mature conversation we've had, the first time we were both honest. There were specific things I had to apologize for but especially the things I've said to him, what I've called

"Play nice, okay? Trust me," I say to the twins and they don't seem to like it very much, but they have no choice but to agree because I park my car behind Christian’s and get out to greet him with a handshake and a half hug. I do the same to Devin, too, trying to control my wolf. Now I'm really thankful King isn't here. I don’t think I’d be able to stay this calm if I saw Christian lusting after him. "What's up, dude? What’s this surprise about?" I ask, looking at my house. My parents are in there and I know they're not going to be happy if they know he's in our clan. Even though I know there's no real reason to distrust Christian, something about him screams trouble. "I just wanted to come check on you. You left so suddenly, I thought it was weird," he mentions, looking at me with a frown as if trying to figure out what's different about me. I know my scent has changed since King bit me, maybe that's what he's picking up on. "There were some family issues here, I had to come r

My father gets out of bed as soon as I say that and he listens attentively to the whole thing without wasting a single second asking dumb questions. He immediately grabs his phone to call the borders while my omega dad is just staring at us from his bed with big eyes, breathing heavily. "Kingsley Seong left the clan with Christian Roade," one of the guards says from the phone. Every hair on my body stands up anxiously and I start growling from my chest as I confirm that this fucking asshole really came back to the clan just to grab my mate and take him away from me, "Why, boss?" "How could you let that happen? Kingsley is being taken against his will," my father exclaims, walking over to put on some pants without letting go of the phone. "I don't think so, sir. Kingsley was sitting in the passenger seat, completely lucid." I shake my head. No way. No way. My father ends that call and walks over to grab me by the shoulders. "We'll go get him, Alpha. Don't doubt it, we'll get him

{ Kingsley }With my mom's help I manage to stop this damn crying fit. Everything that happened came crashing down on me on the way back and I think without my mom's help I wouldn't have been able to stop crying for hours and hours, as usual, but now I'm starting to calm down. Olivia’s hysteria is also helping me calm down because it made me laugh to see her attack and hug Laurie at the same time. My mate really did something super freaking stupid, but he made it through in the end. That's all that matters now. My alpha mom grabs me in her strong arms and hugs me, kissing me all over like I'm a literal puppy and scenting my head. "You're grounded," she says after I get the biggest love attack. "What?! Why?" "Because you worried me too much and you don’t do that to your mother. You can't go anywhere but home and Laurent's house until my heart is working properly again," she states and I know that even though it's ridiculous, she's being serious. My moms and Laurent's parents

"Wow... this was not what we expected at all. You really never know what life has in store for you. Congratulations, Laurie. I always knew your destiny was going to be amazing," my grandfather says with a smile and reaches over to pat me on the back. "No! Grandpa, I don't want this," I admit, looking at everyone for help, "No. No." "Congratulations on accomplishing what I never could. And you didn’t even fucking try. That's so damn great," my Uncle Rodrick blurts out through his teeth, pretending to smile, sitting next to my mom and rubbing her back while she's still in shock, "Totally great. I'm so happy for you." "Can you move away? Your envy is making me nauseous," my mom complains, making my Uncle squint at her with annoyance, "What does this mean, Alessandro? Can he do this from Fallonmore?" "Of course not, Olivia. This is his territory now. He has to live here," my father states and comes closer to grab my shoulders, "This is happening, Laurent. You made a decision and thes
