North And South Book Ii Novels & Stories

My finger hovered over the acceptance key, but the memory of the black pearl crown sinking into the ceremonial water flashed through my mind, and I violently terminated the connection. Across the neutral zone, inside the heavily fortified Blackwell estate, Ronan stood before Lord Blackwell, his arms locked behind his back as his posture remained perfectly rigid. Lady Blackwell crossed her leather-clad arms, her eyes burning with an intense, aristocratic fury before she slammed her heavy gauntlet onto the strategy table.

I only knew I woke up too late because the glaring sunlight was already piercing through the thin sheets of the curtains. “Good morning, dear.” Zed’s voice rang in my head, so I turned to glance at him. He was already sitting in an upright position, his back on the bedboard. A motivational book by Robert Kiyosaki was in his hand. “Good morning,” I replied, turning to my other side with eyes closed. The part of the bed on his side then sank, and I knew he was lying beside me. As soon as the movement steadied, I felt his mouth on my nape, running down my shoulders.

And trust me when I say—Book 2 is going to be about survival in ways that will make Book 1 look like a warm-up. Because here's what I need you to understand: We're only getting started. Book 1 was about Ivy finding her place in a world that didn't want her. Book 2? Book 2 is about Ivy TAKING her place and burning down anyone who tries to stop her. It's about Ares proving that he's not just some control freak with a hero complex—he's a man who will literally take a bullet for a child that isn't even his because he loves that child's mother beyond reason. It's about Lucas learning that sometimes the world is scary and unfair but his mama is ALWAYS going to fight for him.

I am struggling to keep a straight face. “Being pregnant makes me more dangerous, Aiden!” She pouted. “You are dangerous at any time, mojito. But you are having a hard time climbing stairs right now. How do you think you will fair in a fight with an Alpha?” Nyx pulls forward, “Oh, I will fare really well, Aiden. That guy is a royal asshole. I don’t like that he lied and wanted you to wait six months. There is a war coming and he is burning through our timeline!”

I took my book and I lit my index finger with fire and tried burning the book. "They got us there". Zale said and sighed getting his own book and tried to toss it in the ocean. I stopped my fire and stopped him. "Well, as we are back to square one, let's just try to gather information from the northern part," I said and smiled at him. I put my book inside my bag again. It was pointless anyway, to burn the book. It is the book of origin, a book written by the Gods, it is protected from being harmed by anything, by anyone.

“I might enjoy that book and given what you like, you might too.” I said, smirking at him. “Love the Unexpected?” I asked, looking at him. “It’s about two people that were dealt a bad hand, but learned to love each other despite all that was against them. You were right when you told me I wouldn’t have picked you if it wasn’t for the mate bond. You have a mouth on you and you are a fighter. The Moon Goddess knew what she was doing when she gave me you. You were everything I didn’t know I needed. You have made me a better man. I’m proud to stand beside you. I’m so lucky to have you.”

••• "How shall I tell Aunt Shaw' she whispered, after some time of delicious silence. Let me speak to her. Oh, no! I owe to her,—but what will she say? I can guess. Her first exclamation will be, That man! 'Hush!' said Margaret, or I shall try and show you your mother's indignant tones as she says, That woman!." I read the final words in North and South as Tyler gave me light kisses on my exposed shoulder where he gazed at the book from behind me. The warm water encompassing us in the bath along with bubbles. I relaxed against Tyler's chest who had one arm on the tub and one more touching the side of my arm. I reached out of the tub and placed the book on a closeby table. "What'd you think?"

Flavius lays across the expanse of our bed Vega resting behind him. He grasps a book delicately between his fingers and he read its content. I help but let my eyes wander across his focused figure trying to commit the scene to memory. Midday light shown on his face lightening his deep brown eyes to almost amber. "I find it rather hard to focus with you staring so intently," Flavius mumbles never looking up from the book. I laugh laying at the foot of the bed.

Lucas ~*~ By six in the evening the following day, I was already up in the air, the plane halfway through its journey. I was still fuming with anger at how Mari had ruined everything with one statement release. Now, all I wanted was to see her and put her in her place.
