Inside we find blanketed furniture, stripped beds and an empty pantry – but no kidnapped she-wolves. Together we prepared the rooms, opening all the windows to air out the space and cleaning swiftly if not thoroughly. By the time the sun sets my stomach is growling like a wild beast, and Odette raises an eyebrow, “I don’t think ordering in is a good idea. So why don’t I run out to get some groceries?” I nod, watching her retreating back in the mirror above the side table I’m dusting. “Odette.” I say, just as she reaches the door.

She set out plates on the table and sat on the dining chair, watching her friend cook the buffalo wings. "It smells delicious!" Odette exclaimed as she came out of her room and headed straight into the kitchen. "What are you cooking?" she asked. "It's for me to know and for you to find out!" Johnson smirked. He knew that whatever he cooked would be delicious. It was like an inborn talent for him. He could whip up meals from scratch that tasted like something from a fine dining restaurant. "Hmm, I can’t wait. Let me have an appetizer first," Odette said, trying to sip the spicy chicken broth Alice had prepared. It was still hot, but she didn’t mind. "It tastes like heaven," she added.

Zachary brought her to live with them, which only made the tension at home worse. The plane began its descent as the captain's announcement played overhead. My phone vibrated with a message from Matteo. 'Let me know you landed safely. Lutetia's gotten colder these past few days. Remember to dress warmly.' I replied with a simple 'Okay.' Matteo was the very personal trainer who added me two years ago. I later found out he had been Eugene's classmate in university and now ran his own sports rehab center. When adults built relationships, comfort mattered more than anything. He invited me to go hiking last month. We were enjoying the sunrise on the mountaintop when he looked straight at me and e

“Helen-” “Quit two years ago, Fred. Two. Years. I interviewed Helga and Odette, hiring them both. Helga on Tuesdays and Thursdays to run errands, oversee Odette and generally make sure everything runs smoothly. Odette on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to clean and cook meals. The check book that you leave in the kitchen drawer, the expense account, I balance it and write the checks. They don't even know about it. I moved it to my room when I hired them.”

Not since the accident. We’re gathered around the kitchen table. All in all, it’s shaping up to be a lovely Friday morning. It’s peaceful out here, exactly the way I designed it. Odette turned five shortly before September, but given her condition, I didn’t feel comfortable enrolling her in maternelle — the French version of kindergarten. The specialists I’ve been speaking to assure me that exposure to other children her age might help her affliction, but I’ve been exceedingly cautious since Marianne’s death.

Too bad. Odette seemed to have mastered the art of ‘eating’. She would swirl her knife and fork around her plate, taking the tiniest bites I had ever seen before she repeated the act again. Tobin and Ataz weren’t much butter and Cal … he just seemed to drink. Was it the dark magic? Did it somehow suppress his appetite? Well, more for me.

Just then, Odette sensed the tension in the car and immediately threw herself into Viggo’s arms. “Viggo, I feel the pup’s life force fluctuating,” she whined, guiding his hand to her stomach. “I think he misses his daddy.” Viggo’s attention was instantly diverted. He gently stroked her belly. I turned my head away, refusing to look at them. When we arrived, Viggo carefully helped Odette out of the car, coddling her as he walked her to her room. He casually called out to the butler. “Make Odette something she likes, something to calm the pup.” He paused, then his voice dropped so low he probably thought I couldn't hear. “And the freshest roasted venison with moon wine.”

a small voice said from the other side. Odette came inside the room. Her hands were full with sheets and blanket. "I brought you some new sheets." Adeline gave her a puzzled look. "Why? These are clean," she said. "I just thought...since last time." Odette hesitated. Adeline remembered. She begrudgingly asked them to take the sheets away last time to remove everything Damien touched but this time, she felt differently. "No, I am fine," she said. "Oh and Mr. Sky would like you to join him for breakfast," Odette said as if she suddenly remembered.

Phoebe had quietly rubbed against me. My heart started pounding. When we were pressed together earlier, she must have noticed how hard I was and decided to test it with her hand. After that brief touch, Phoebe looked shocked. "So big…" she murmured under her breath. I swallowed, pretending not to hear clearly. However, quietly, I stretched out my hand and began brushing lightly against the black stockings I had been fantasizing about for so long. The stockings felt incredibly smooth beneath my palm. Combined with Phoebe's perfect, shapely legs, the sensation was simply amazing.

I said. My face was pale as death, and a nagging ache twisted in my stomach. It was an old pain that had been with me ever since I spent those three years in that cellar. Every day, I ate stale bread and lumpy mashed potatoes that had been sitting out forever. The bread was so thick and dry that it was almost impossible to swallow. Panic flashed across Henry's face. It was something I hadn't seen in ages. "Sabrina, I swear I didn't know! Do you think I'm lying?" he asked.
