"It's a pleasure to see you again, Elias." He forced a tight smile and gave her a sharp nod. "The pleasure is mine." Xander shot him a warning look, and he quickly recovered. The blonde young lady between them appeared to be no more than twenty-five, and it looked as if she was there with them both. It was common for werewolves to share, but it was rare between Alphas. Xander gave her a warm smile and turned to me. "This is Kalyssa Carran. She's a new member of our Pack."

"Who is that woman? Is she new to the house?" Ana didn't even slow down, her face bright with a busy, knowing smile. "Oh, the fiancée? You didn't hear? You've been so quiet lately." I felt the bottom drop out of my stomach. The blood drained from my face, and the polished glass of the case felt suddenly cold against my fingertips. "The... fiancée?" I repeated, the word alien and sharp. Ana nodded, leaning in slightly, treating the news like high society gossip. "Yes! Miss Victoria Sterling. Big society wedding coming up. The Mayor is delighted. Mr. Ethan is finally getting engaged. Didn't you see the announcement? He's been officially engaged for a week. They just finalized the date last nig

She hugged me as she starts sobbing and saying incoherent words I try my best to calm her down and when she does, I raise her head to see those beautiful hazel eyes still glistening with unshed tears, her beautiful lips in between her teeth as she bites them nervously. I quickly prevent her lips from any more harm by freeing them and cleaning her eyes. "What's wrong babe?".. " Your coronation is in two months" she says quickly and I quickly understood what she meant I hug her even tightly as I stroke her hair. " Olivia we won't be separated, your my mate I know it, it won't be anyone else okay"... She nods her head slowly " I love you and I can never love anyone else as I love you okay".. "

She shook her head. I wished she had answered it. Her ringtone was the 1961 version of can't help falling in love which meant that Elvis Presley's voice lingered through the spaces between us. It was odd how things both beautiful and ugly took place. The poor neighborhood and its old establishments did not quite add up to the cerulean skies and the vintage melodies. Much the same to how I am no match to Catherine. It was a relief when the song stopped playing. Catherine turned off her phone after that.

Up to date, Everett has followed less than five people, right? [Mom, I want to marry Everett: Everett is not in a relationship, right? I’m speechless! I’m gloomy!] [Miss Craig: Who is this woman?

“I don’t ever want to have to bail you out again.” He nods his head. “Noted. If I’m arrested, call dad. Got it.” I can’t hold back a laugh as he pulls me closer and presses his lips to mine. Epilogue Ellen de Luna POV EIGHT YEARS LATER I watch our second child, Carla Soriano - affectionately nicknamed Carly - as her chubby little fists tear into her smash cake. He’s one year old today - where does the time go? I blink back tears as Apollo’s gaze locks on mine. I see the worry there, and the love.

Everly's voice was soft and coy, nothing like the timid girl she acted like in front of me. "Alright. Whatever you say." Then came the rustling of clothes and the kind of breathy sounds that made my stomach churn. I pressed the download button. After the tears ran dry, all that remained was a cold that ran deep into my bones. ... By the time dawn broke, Jeremy came home. He looked exhausted, but there was a faint pink mark on his shirt collar. It was the exact shade of Everly's favorite lip gloss. Her profile picture flashed in my mind: a little white rabbit holding a carrot.

Kobby asks suddenly. “Huh!” I exclaim. “I’m good.” “Are you sure?” Evelyn adds. “Definitely,” I reply. We chat for a while, and then I return to the seat reserved for Eli and me. Things seem fine, but the stares don’t stop. “I heard Eric broke up with her.” “Huh! Really? That makes sense. I’ve been hearing he’s seeing someone new lately.” “Yeah, I heard that too.” “Actually, I’ve seen her before. She’s very beautiful and has a son.”

First time we'd seen each other in six months. Everyone looked stunned, so I said it again. "Daphne and I broke up. Six months ago. I don't want my fiancée getting the wrong idea, so let's quit dragging up the past." Daphne's eyes flew wide. "You've got to be kidding me." "You know I'm not." She stared, chest rising, then forced it out. "Ethan Everett, that's enough." Typical Daphne—always thinking I was bluffing, just trying to piss her off.
