Noah left the offices, got into his car, and started it. Her cell phone began to ring with Beyoncé's "Umbrella." Hayami had chosen it as her alarm tone. Hayami reached for her phone to stop the annoying ringing, still feeling tired despite having slept practically all day. When she couldn't find it, she raised her head. Her hair was tangled, and with her eyes, she finally managed to locate it. She held it in her hands and stopped the ringing, then checked the time with some difficulty.

“It’s good. It’s going to be classical Japanese music mixed with pop. I think it’s called ‘Sakura Sakura.’” “What?” Sebastian snapped, turning his azure-blue eyes to Jane, his face tense. Jane was taken by surprise by his abrupt query. She swallowed nervously and said, “It’s called ‘Sakura Sakura.’” Then she had to explain further, thinking he didn’t know or understand. “The song depicts springtime, when cherry blossoms bloom, sir.” “Yes, of course. I know that,” Sebastian said. He took a deep breath then. Shit! Why was he in such a bad mood? Why was he so agitated?

AYANA’s eyes widened with wo‌nd‌e⁠r. AYANA: “She’s so tiny! And she has ha‍ir! L‌ot‌s of hair!” AMON: “She does. Black hai‍r, jus‍t l‌ike yours used to⁠ be.”⁠ ‍AYANA: “W‍ill be a‌gain. Whe‌n the m‍edicine work‌s​ and my hair⁠ grows ba​ck.” [The hope in her voice‌ breaks SARAH’s heart.]

I prefer observing and allowing all my pack members to see and experience the companionship of their Alpha. Hayden is sitting at the table with Liam and Luca, and they are deep into the conversation; next to them is Rose, feeding little Lyra and Leah.. In the crowd, I can see Leah dancing with Kyle, I can admire her beautiful features. She looks astonishing today, dressed in a gauzy orange dress with white dots. Her long hair is loose, her cheeks are rosy, and her eyes are sparkling. Kyle is a perfect dancing partner for her; they move very graciously, and observing them is delightful.

“Tell me” I pick up the remote from the table and turn on the television. For a moment my heart skips a beat when her face appears on the television. Apparently she is having an interview for a movie she just concluded. Odette’s voice drones out as I study the lady in front of me. She is clad in a pair of black sequined dress that hugs her figure perfectly. She looks like a fucking runway model. Natural midnight purple hair, straight long legs and a smile that has had my heart from the very first day I set my eyes on her. Ayana Stones, the only woman I have ever felt drawn to in all twenty five years of my life.

What the hell was happening to her? Her vision swam. No no no, not now. The world tilted. Her knees buckled. And as darkness swallowed her, her last coherent thought was “This is so embarrassing.” Then everything went black.​ ****** Noah caught her easily. The scent of her skin was intoxicating. She was soft and warm. He held her carefully, like she was something fragile. Her scent flooded his senses. It was crisp, clean, faintly floral, with a hint of something else underneath. It made his wolf restless and made him restless too.

he suggests. I purse my lips and pull the iPad on the desk closer to me. I open up my calendar. I had four calendars that needed to work in tandem. I had mine, Rae's, Poppy's, the figurehead of The Howard Holdings Company, Audrey Ellis, my fun brunette persona when I wanted to forget my life for a while, and my reclusive ginger Frankie James. Frankie was never on my calendar, unfortunately. Audrey only makes appearances because she was more or less my alter ego for the gentlemen's club, Eve. And realistically, Rae and Poppy are the same person. Poppy is just to save face for Rae. I'd always be Rae Spencer no matter how much I tried to run away from that life.

The other stripper before her grimaced. “Yeah, like she’d be proud you’re using her name for this job.” “Oh come on! Sex work is work!” Rose defended loudly. “How about you? What’s with Euphoria, pale girl?” She then turned to me when the latter ignored her. “She’s Cath. Am I right?” Another girl, whom I heard is Giana aka Victoria batted her eyes at me. Shyly, I nodded. “She’s young and she goes to school so she’s smart. Give it to her if she wants the name Euphoria.”

Monday came all too soon. Anna didn't want to get out of bed but that was out of the question. She grudgingly got up and did her morning workout. Then she had her bath, did her skin care routine and put on her uniform. The uniform was a sky blue shirt with a purple collar on a purple shirt. She wore a pair of white socks and completed it with black sneakers. She then pulled her hair into the usual ponytail and took her school bag. She had packed her bag the night before so she just threw it over her shoulder after putting her phone in it, wore her glasses and checked herself in the full length mirror and felt that her look was satisfactory.

Xyla smiled slightly and said, “My grandfather is in great health. Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Wade.” Nanako and Aurora exchanged glances with one another, and they looked at Claire at the same time before they said with respect, “Hello, Mrs. Wade!” “I’m Aurora Quinton.” “I’m Ito Nanako. Nice to meet you!” Charlie hurriedly made the introduction to Claire, “Aurora is Chairman Graham Quinton’s daughter. Graham Quinton is the largest medicinal herb supplier in Aurous Hill, and he works closely with Dr. Simmons.” “Miss Ito is a well-known fighter in Japan. She has fought against Aurora in Aurous Hill before, and the both of them became friends during the competition.”
