"I see some things haven't changed.""It's so good to have you here, Susan," Abigail said, placing her hand over Susan's. "I've missed you so much."Susan smiled, a little embarrassed.

She was this type of stubborn teenager who believed she was always right. She got into quarrels so often with her mother that she was determined to leave her.I'm their family, they have a tradition.

"Of course not. It's a bite." Claire rolled her eyes playfully."Ohh." Aiden stifled a giggle. "I have been wondering when you guys will finally … you know?" He wiggled his eyebrows at her."Stop it.' She blushed as she used her flowing white hair to cover the mark.She was putting on a low-cropped -neck shirt that showed the mark. She had completely forgotten about it and was only known when Aiden drew her attention to it.Alexander butt in. "You're only being jealous." Aiden laughed as he used his hands to cover his mouth from the glares he was getting from Aiden. "It's the truth. Don't give me that look. I bet you have no idea how the mate bond works."Aiden sent a glare Austin's way, his girl clattering on the plat

Kendrick strode into Darian's home, his eyes blazing with a fierce intensity. "We need to talk," he said, his voice low and menacing.When he had tried to reach Darian the other day, he was interrupted by something from the coven and since then, he had not been able to tell him what was on his mind.He looked into the house and found no one. It was quiet like a graveyard.He knew where else he would be! His office.And true to his thoughts, he was in his office with a stack of paper in his right hand, and a cup of coffee in his left.Darian looked up from his desk, his expression guarded. He knew that when Kendrick came calling, it was usually bad news.Darian was shocked to have seen Kendrick storming into his house. It was not unseen but whenever he came, he was never in that kind of mood.What would have caused such a thing?Knowing Kendrick, he knew it was something important.Soon enough, his look of shock turned into something neutral."What is it?" he asked, his voice carefully

Claire and Alexander walked hand in hand down the dimly lit hallway, their pace leisurely as they took in the grandeur of the house. The air was thick with the scent of roses, and the soft glow of candlelight flickered on the walls."Alexander," Claire began hesitantly, her voice barely above a whisper. "We need to talk to Susan. She needs to know what happened tonight."Alexander paused, his grip tightening around her hand. "Claire, I understand that you want to tell her, but let's wait until tomorrow. Tonight is a night for celebration. What will a day's difference cause?"Claire's heart sank at Alexander's response. She had hoped that he would agree to tell Susan, but now she realized that he was right. It was their night, and they deserved to revel in their love for a little while longer."I suppose you're right," she said, a tinge of disappointment in her voice. "But we can't put it off for too long. You know how dangerous Isabelle can be."Alexander pulled her close, his lips

Feeling satisfied with herself, a smug smile appeared on Isabelle's lips. She had been able to do what asked of her According to Dane, she would be able to eliminate Claire once and for all. All she had to do was to sit back and watch her demise. She could not contain the joy any longer. She needed someone to join in her celebration. Having no one in mind, she decided to call her maid. At least, she had helped her in her mission.The door was pushed open and her maid walked in with a confused expression on her face. "You called for me ma'am." She said her head bent low.Isabelle smiled a genuine smile. She hadn't smiled in a long time. "Yes, I did. I need you to host a party of celebration for me. Call all the wolves, tell them I am celebrating something very special and it will be announced on the day of the party."The confusion was more evident in her face as she looked up at Isabelle. "But ma'am most of them won't be willing if they don't know the reason for the party."Isabell
