“Mr. Black seems to be investigating the matter that happened two years ago.” Zeno frowned, horror flashing across his face. Did they find out? “The case of Lisa Lennox,” the man added. Zeno grabbed his glass of wine and smashed it against the wall. The glass exploded, its pieces sprawling across the floor. “This is why I wanted to act fast!

What an odd twist.”

Goosebumps cover my skin, and no matter how hard I try to ger rid of the sense of dead, it doesn’t fade. My own instincts scream that whatever I am about to find out is something awful. Something I would, in a heartbeat, drop as the responsibility of someone else just to save our unborn child. “Mom always says that silence is another way of agreement, so buckle up, this is about to become a hell of a ride,” Lenox claps his hands together to draw the attention towards him.

Malaya squealed happily as Buddy the Elf appeared on screen, immediately scooting closer into the blankets.

At least then I could have prepared myself for what was to come. … After the Christmas break, Louis and I both returned to work. The first morning rush after the holidays always resulted in unusually congested traffic. To make matters worse, I seemed to get caught at every red light possible.

“Maybe I’ll get him one with ‘World’s Oldest CEO’ embroidered on the back.” I broke into a fit of laughter. I couldn't think of anything more unlikely to happen than the sight of Zachary in a leather jacket. Lenny’s head suddenly snapped up. “My God! He's really forty huh?” She said with a mix of amazement and mischief. “We all age, Lenny.” She rolled her eyes. “Correction. We all don't age like Zachary Blackwood.

" You possessed a dark lunar magic and this has brought about some kind of darkness to our pack, we do not accept that kind of magic here and anyone who brings such to us will be punished" he said.
