She pointed at a series of rings and said. "Look at that. That looks really nice!" Daniel furrowed his brows when he saw the series of rings she was pointing at. The sales woman immediately followed her direction and explained. "Miss, you really have good taste. This is our store's famous 'The One' series. Everyone can only buy one with their cards for the rest of their life in our shop. It symbolizes eternal love between couples."

He responded with a dry okay which pissed her off. A few minutes later, Carson finally came along with his mother. Elissa noticed Hera smiling widely as she exchanged greetings with Kimberly. Elissa found it weird that there were no guests. No one other than the family members. She stayed back, watching their chit-chat. Carson saw her looking his way and excusing himself from his mother, he walk up to her. Elissa tensed, pretending to look around.

The swings were preoccupied and a line had started to form it was that busy. Sometimes he wished he had a family that would take the time to take him to the park and someone to push him on the swings as he yelled, "higher!" But because his mother had died when he was a baby due to rogues, his father had never been able to fill the more caring and gentle role. Instead, they bonded over fighting tips and ways to get the pack to work together. A Luna would usually be the one to bring the pack together as a unit, a family, and an Alpha to protect the pack and lead it to battle. His father had to try and fill both roles to keep the pack as the best one in the country. He had learnt all of this si

"A good wife brings prosperity to generations. A wicked one ruins an entire family. Choose wisely." As the night deepened, the family gathered to keep vigil beside the caskets. Kelly, unwelcome among them, shrank into a corner, her presence tolerated but barely acknowledged. I found her there later. "Zarrick's finished," I told her softly. "And when I leave him, I'll make sure he walks away with nothing. If you're willing to stay with him then, when he's broke and ruined, then maybe—just maybe—I'll believe your love is real."

As far as family goes, they’re all I have… and Tyler doesn’t know anyone else. The thought hits me out of nowhere. They’re my family—but is Tyler part of it now, just because we’re married? Even though the marriage wasn’t planned and I’m only staying here for three months? What do I even call him that doesn't sound strange? He’s my husband… but is he a part of my family? This wasn’t supposed to be so complicated. When I reach my room, I unlock my phone. Several missed calls from my uncle and aunt. Two messages from Max. One from Vanessa. A few emails—definitely work-related—so I ignore them.

Something beautiful. Something ours. A family.

"But we are stronger than them, Ashley. You and I-we share a power that they fear. Join me, my daughter. Stand by my side, and together, we will be unstoppable. His words sent a shudder through me, but I stood my ground. "No," I whispered, shaking my head. "Just let my family and me go. Please." His whole expression twisted, fury overwhelming the false warmth he had tried to show. "They are NOT your family!" he roared, the sheer force of his voice making me flinch. "I am your ONLY real family!" My eyes burned, but I refused to back down. "They are the only family I know," I whispered, my voice flat despite the fear clutching at me. "Please. I just want to be with them."

Only the heir of the Shepherd Family contained such quality. The F**king Shepherd Family !!!

"But the Jamesons cannot fall. We're getting old, and Scott's condition is…" "You should get straight to the point." I poured them each a cup of tea. "What do you need me to do?" They looked at each other. "We were thinking…" Scott's mother started with great difficulty. "We'd like to take Connor home with us and raise him personally. He is the family's only hope."

Meanwhile, Lionel Andrus, the man with an incubus bloodline, was waiting quietly to the side, holding our paperwork. Suddenly, it hit me all at once. I had come back to this very day—the day Lionel and I were supposed to get our marriage certificate. When Tracy saw me staring straight at Lionel, she got so flustered that she started stomping her feet. She grabbed my arm and basically shoved me toward Jamie. "Incubi are born flirts! How do you know you're his only woman? Once he's bored, he'll toss you aside. He doesn't even know what love is! Don't ruin your whole life being his plaything."
