Emma Spencer.Along with Mia, we look at each other, as I say to Mom, “What do you mean there’s magic involved, and it’s not white?”She sighs and says, “because like in every order of things, darling, there is a part of the magic that has also been corrupted. There are covens that are dedicated to practicing dark magic. That’s why your father had my mother banished.”I frown as I say, “Does Grandma’s coven practice black magic?”A sad look crosses her face as she tells me, “That’s right, baby girl. When your grandfather found her, he made her choose between her coven and him. She ran away with him because of the deep love they had for each other. But like every fairy tale, happiness came with a price and a sad ending. After a few years of his reign, your grandfather died. To this day, it is a mystery how it happened.”“You don’t believe she murdered him? Right?” I ask him, intrigued and at the same time… worried.“I can expect anything from your grandmother. When your grandfather die

Emma Spencer.I smiled at what I heard from behind me. Gently pulled away from him and turned to look at his face. Approached him, held his face with both hands and said, “I love you too, William. I love you with the intensity of a teenager, but with the temperance of an adult. I loved you yesterday and I will love you tomorrow, because I know that there is no one in the world like you.”William opened his eyes wide and said, “I don’t deserve you, Emma. I am not worthy of you.”I smiled again and said, “If you are not worthy of me, then who is it? William, the goddesses, mated us because they knew you would complement a part of my soul, just like Peter and Parker. The three of you will always have a part of me. And every time I am with you, you fill my soul.”Then I sighed and said, “I just wish Mia felt as complete as I feel.”He frowned and said, “What do you mean, doll? Does Mia not feel complete?”I sat on the bed and, sighing, I said, “No, honey. Mia doesn’t feel complete.” Willi

Parker Bennett. After spending the night in the cabin with Peter, we returned to the mansion. Maddie really wanted to come back with us, but our intuition told us it was better for her to stay there, accompanied by the guard and her grandparents. Well, our intuition was correct. Noah called a while ago and told us what had happened. On the one hand, I feel extremely happy that Emma could finally transform into Mia. But on the other hand, I feel disappointed that I didn’t get to witness it. I know that at some point I will meet her, but that does not take away the feeling of regret that I have, that I should have been with them. “It was William’s night, Parker. We had already had her, Peter had her too, and it was his turn. Also, let’s be honest. None of us would have reacted the way Emma and Mia needed. Feeling her suffering through the bond was truly heartbreaking torment, and we didn’t even see her.” “I know Fenrir. I was there. The guard had to chain us and lock us up so we woul

Emma Spencer.As soon as I saw Sheldon being taken away, I let out the breath that I had been holding. I put my hands on my mates’ chests, hoping to calm their wolves. I tell them over the mental link, “calm down, guys. We won’t get anywhere if you transform. I need to know more about the coven. Please!”“Doll, don’t wait for us to sit there watching you be in danger. That will never go to happen. Your well-being is our principal goal, Emma.”“William is right, babe. We will protect your life at any cost. Even if we must give ours for you.”“There is no need for me to add anything more to what is being said, sweetheart. The three of us are on the same page. This is non-negotiable and you know it perfectly well.”Looking at all of them and I can feel the tremendous love, concern and protection they want to give me. I sigh, and wanting to hold back the tears, I tell them, “Don’t even say it as a joke. I can’t live without you.” Then I take a few deep breaths, trying to calm my nerves, w

Emma Spencer.After James left, my family arrived at the mansion. None of the boys allowed me to get up, since my attitude has made them anxious. Surely Parker must have told them about what happened during the afternoon and also what I asked him to find out about James. I insist, there is something about him that doesn’t give me confidence.“I feel the same way, Emma. There is something in his eyes, as if he is hiding something.”“And his hands? Did you notice his hands?” I asked Mia.She seems to think for a few seconds, until she tells me, “They were cold.”“Exactly, Mia. Werewolves or Lycans never have chilly hands, because of their high body temperature. Doesn’t that seem strange to you?”She frowns and then says to me, “What creatures have cold hands? Because clearly that man is a supernatural being, but a wolf? Wolf, it is not.”After my conversation with Mia, where more doubts than certainties arose, I went to sleep. With each breath, I felt my questions drift further and furt
