The majority of the Elders nodded furiously and apologized profusely whilst throwing furious glares toward Tomas who was struggling to get up from the position that he had landed in. With a final furious glare, Adam turned to make his way to his room, where Ann waited for him, but a trembling voice from behind him stopped him in his tracks. "You can threaten as much as you like Alpha, but if Princess Ann is not your mate, then I will not recognize her as our Luna, and nor will the pack!" Tomas threatened weakly. Adam turned and sneered down at him. "Do you understand how offensive it is to have to bare your mark for all to see, just to prove something to a withered old man?" Adam spat.

Lowering my gaze, I nod my head, and with as much strength as I can muster, I say, "Alpha." Zach chuckles and claps me on the back, "Relax, Amaris." "Sorry," I mumble nervously, not knowing what the proper etiquette for this type of this is. "I don't—" "Amaris," Their father says, his deep voice holding a gentleness that I wasn't expecting. "Please, have a seat. I won't bite—that's something I reserve for Rogues, duels, or my mate." He grins when his kids groan at his insinuation. "My son," he says, nodding his head towards Zach, "tells me that you're newly shifted and unaligned."

asked Illarion without even turning to look at Amanda. "Adam gave me some ointment so that the wound would heal quickly," Amanda answered. "The wound dries faster, Adam also gave this out of disgust with the scar," Amanda explained with a smile showing her hands covered in white gloves. "Who's Adam?" "This palace financier, Monsieur Adam who has worked for ten years, sir," explained Amanda, starting to understand the Black Prince's habit of forgetting the names of the people around him. "Oh," Illarion replied curtly, glancing at the glove. "And what's your task?"

"James, allow me to give you some advice from an old man who has lived long enough. Sometimes, there is not much we can do to keep those we have loved by our side." "I don't understand what you are talking about," James muttered, confused and frustrated. "Keeping Meg by your side without being able to offer her a future will eventually destroy her. It's not fair to her," Mr. Abraham explained, concerned. "That's absurd," James retorted, denying the idea. "You have a marriage, and soon you will have children. Meg has a right to that, too. Giving up your love is the greatest act of love one can perform," Mr. Abraham stated, conveying a profound truth.

Sensing the urgency in Adam's expression, he was willing to listen and offer support. In response, Adam decided to open up his mind link, a unique bond that allowed them to communicate telepathically. He wanted Giovanni to hear the same message that was playing on repeat in his mind. Through this connection, Adam projected his thoughts and emotions, conveying the word that had unsettled him. "Mate," Adam mentally transmitted. Giovanni's eyes widened in astonishment, mirroring Adam's shock. They stood there, staring at each other in disbelief, their minds racing to comprehend the implications of this revelation. Without uttering a word, they shared an unspoken understanding, realizing that th

Elio lets out an amused sigh and closes his eyes before stating: "Like that amount of money is going to hurt my bank account. I consider it a perfectly good investment. My wife is happy, and my house will be filled with the laughter of children. It suits me perfectly." "Sole mio?" I call tenderly. "Yes, Amore mio?" "Grazie."(Thank you*) "Anything you wish, Amore mio. As long as I know you are mine, there is no reason to deny you anything."

I take a seat beside the stranger. “ This is Mr. Michael Black. Head of PR at Paradise Group” “ Paradise Group? The one owned by…” “Hernandez Andres. Yes, that’s the one” Paradise Group of Companies was the biggest conglomerate in all of New York, if not the United States. “ Pleased to make your acquaintance, Mr. Black” The man merely sends a smile my way and nods in acknowledgement. Mr. Rogers continues, “ Mr. Black is here as a representative for his boss, Marcello Andres and they will like to form an alliance with our firm”

She felt like Martin knew something about what happened with the McCarthys when they went abroad. "Not much. However, I heard that the McCarthys formed a connection with the Adam family through marriage. The Adam family is very wealthy, but they don't have enough heirs to extend their bloodline. In addition, the elders in the family are worried that their business empire will collapse, so they have been searching for a very fertile woman to bear their children." "Something so ridiculous is actually happening?" Even though Nicole had seen a lot of things, it was her first time encountering something so strange.

She rubbed her hand down my back, murmuring words of comfort into my ear. “Anyone with a brain would know that she did so because of your new neighbour and that you have no say concerning what she does or doesn't.” But alas! Vance had no brain. That was harsh, but you know what I mean. It was obvious to everyone that Adam was the main deal now. It didn't matter that he had tattoos or a nipple piercing or that he sometimes used eyeliners around his eyes, they were just after him. I suddenly wondered how he felt to be the centre of attraction.

For the rest of the night, I tried to figure out how to deal with my feelings for Adam. So, as with all the decisions I made, I drew up a pros and cons list. Did you know pros and cons is actually Latin for the phrase for and against? Let's see… cons: Adam kind of kidnapped me, is arrogant, aggressive, didn't care that there was a possibility our child would die… emotionally distant, selfish, kept me locked up, doesn't respect that I want space…
