"Uh... what instruments?" Mallory asks, looking extremely confused and earning a tired look from Isabelle. "I texted you what I needed, Mal," she complains, but just shakes her head and heads for the stairs. “Julian, come here, I need your help." Julian nods and follows her to the stairs without taking his eyes off Daniel or turning his back on him until it's necessary to climb the stairs. Mallory looks at Daniel as if she is afraid he’s going to attack her again and grabs her phone. "I have a very important call," she lies in an extremely obvious way with a grimace and almost runs off towards the stairs, leaving me alone with an angry alpha. I know inside me that he would never hurt me, but I still feel incredibly intimidated by his stare that literally won't leave me for a second. "You still have time to stop this, Olivia," he says, catching my attention and forcing me to look at him. Daniel looks incredibly different from the way he normally looks: neat, tidy, untouchable, as

{ Daniel } The relief I felt throughout my body and spirit was so immediate and intense that it was almost confusing. I didn't even feel like we were standing in the woods for hours, I totally lost track of time. It felt like someone had been gripping my heart in the tightest fist in the world and suddenly let it go. My chest stopped hurting and my wolf stopped feeling like the worst scum alive. His sudden happiness was even more confusing. Olivia’s words affected me in such a way that my wolf literally wanted to die and wanted to kill me for doing what I did and causing all that pain to our sweet, beautiful omega. That sounds extreme but it's true, he just shut down, he absolutely gave up. But whatever the witch did or said to him helped him feel better so no matter how much I despise her for lending herself to this nonsense, I thank her for not letting me die. Still... I don't feel much difference when it comes to Olivia. I watch her chatting with the witch the whole ti

"You couldn't wait more than five minutes before burying your claws into Daniel again?" Clara spits immediately, ready to fight and ruining the nice atmosphere of love that permeated the house when she wasn't around. "Laurie, go up to my room," I order and my baby nods like a good little boy before running up to my room as I asked. I follow him with my eyes until he disappears and then I return my eyes to my sister. I no longer feel like I hate her with all my being. Maybe because Daniel finally broke up with her or maybe because he told me a little bit of the truth or maybe even because I matured in these last twenty minutes. "Clara, dear, please relax before you start screaming like crazy. We can work things out without fighting." "Exactly. What is this about?" my mother asks with a frown. "Daniel broke up with me yesterday because he still wants to be with Olivia, which is perfectly fine," she adds, sounding like perfectly not-fine. Carolina, my mother and Rosie react immediat

Frank writes "I’m not sure what to think about it yet. This is too much information all of a sudden, but I appreciate you being upfront. However, I do need to talk to you and Olivia about my grandson, so please bring them in.”I nod and let out a sigh of relief because at least he's not telling me to get the hell out of here and disappear from his and his girls’ lives. I peek out the room and look for Olivia. "Hey, Oli, your dad wants to talk to us. Come over here and bring Laurie." I ask and I can see Olivia’s eyes widen like frying pans, but she nods and starts to approach with Laurie. I give my son a tentative smile to see if he’s still scared of me but Laurie smiles back with ease and even bumps my fist as I lift it up to him once they reach the door, "Come on in." "Hi Dad, I see Daniel beat me to telling you about your grandson," she starts and gives me a reproachful look before grabbing Laurie's shoulders and forcing him to walk towards Frank. I can see my son looking intimid

{ Olivia } Before I head back to my family, I go into the bathroom to wet my face and force myself to calm down a bit. When I meet my eyes in the mirror, I can't stop myself from calling myself a slüt because that's exactly what I am. And I can't even blame my wolf this time because my heat is completely over at this point. The decision I made to help Daniel was made with a clear head. Because I want him. At least one last time. Stupid useless ritual. I leave the bathroom when I feel normal again and walk back into the waiting room where it's just Robbie and Harry with the boys, all the girls are inside the room again. I decide to let them have some time with my dad and sit down next to Harry. "Where did Daniel go?" He asks. "Oh, he had to go to the office," I lie. Harry squints his eyes at me but doesn't say anything else. I wait for my sisters for almost an hour until the nurse arrives to rush them out of the room because it's time for my dad to eat something. The only one t
