Carter. *************************************************

Because deep down, beneath all the fear and denial, I knew the truth… this wasn’t something I could walk away from, this wasn’t something I could outrun. Because what I had spent years trying to protect, what I had spent four years hiding had just been seen. And Nathan Lockwood… Was not a man who let things go.

David Bryant, he’s friends with Mikali and Kurt. He’s a quick-witted guy, with lots of tattoos and piercings thought in his trooper uniform. He wasn’t wearing any of those piercings, and I could only see a hint of the tattoos on his neck. “An attack?" I furrowed my brow. “I didn’t hear anything,” I shrugged.

Of course, of course, when you found a woman with a million on banks in a vulnerable state, you took advantage of her to jam-packed your pocket with some easy money. The yelling woman was Sarah Parker, the proprietor of a textile company. Sarah’s father, Mr. Daniel, passed away a year ago due to cardiac arrest, leaving his hard work and a great deal of fortune for his daughter. Sarah was divorced from her first husband with a son. An Aussie man whom she met on her trip with friends in Paris. They fell in love, got married after three days of the meeting, and moved to Australia. The fairy tale didn’t last long as, after a year and a half later, she was divorced and moved back to Chicago with

My parents were right, I shouldn’t be allowed to speak. “Wow, you really are a lost cause.” Carter whispers in my ear, making goosebumps appear on my body. Yep this is not good. “Um no, I have to leave now. I’ll see you at my wedding.” Hank says as he looks me in my eyes and his hand grips my arm lightly. Something he always did and it made me happy. His eyes then go over to Carter’s tattoos and huge biceps. It was clear that he thought Carter wasn’t a good guy. Carter straight up looked like a hot typical villain in any action movie.

Evelyn's POV "I, Alpha Kyle Turner, reject you, Evelyn Sanders, as my mate." Alpha Kyle hoarse voice boomed in my ears making me freeze on my tracks, his voice laced with disgust. Crack! A cracking sound resounded inside my body and I felt as if a part of me was forcefully torn and taken away. My wolf howled in pain but there was nothing I could do about it. Tears flowed down my face as the pain became immeasurable, increasing with each second to the point I was unable to tolerate it. I could care less about the gazes on me. I was already used to it.

Henry pov. For quite a while, I haven't laid eyes on Sierra, and my concern has been growing, not knowing if she's doing okay. The uncertainty about William troubles me deeply; I can't fathom what might be wrong with him, and at times, I feel this urge to confront him. Sierra, I know, is going through a tough time, and witnessing her treated as if she's nobody pains me as well.

He seems fulfilled within and perhaps happy in life. Two chicken breasts bake smothered in seasoning, and barbeque sauce in a portable barbeque pit, releasing the aroma of barbeque into the air, which Gracie happily breathes. “Paxton, do you like travelling?” To her surprise, the question causes some excitement and thrill in Paxton. He smiles and says, “Absolutely, I have been to forty-four states.”

I reached for Austin's uninjured hand, squeezing it gently. "And where did Patrick hear such things?" Michael's question sliced through the room. "Children repeat what they hear at home, Mr. Walton." Principal Davis removed her glasses. "Patrick's father works for Halgate Group." Of course he did. The rage building inside me threatened to explode. The Walton family drama, poisoning my children's lives just as I'd feared. "Is Patrick's face still attached to his head?" Michael asked casually. "Michael!" I snapped, but I caught the hint of a smile on Austin's downturned face.

I quickly smiled in apology and said, "Oh, then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Cowell." I caught up with him in quick steps and followed him. After five years, Patrick had got a new car, a sapphire Bentley SUV. I sat in the passenger's seat. Driving the car out of the parking lot of the restaurant, he asked me, "Are you the disciple of Ryan Teague?" "Yes." "Is Mr. Ryan in good health recently?" "Yes."
