Thinking about what had happened to the previous partner, Gabriel offered a silent moment of sympathy for this business partner who had presented Jason with the tickets to the Twilight Dance Company's performance. Gabriel took a deep breath, mentally preparing for Jason to throw a tantrum. Unexpectedly, not only did Jason pick up the ticket, but he even looked at it in detail. Although the ticket was quite huge, the design was extremely minimal. Other than the main information, there were no further distracting designs.

Hence, after losing her uterus, Mandy aged even faster. As for her two children, just as Sean had said, they were sent away to a relative. Although it was just a relative, the Baker family was wealthy and influential. In theory, the children should have lived comfortably. However, many within the family had figured out that the children were Sean’s illegitimate children with Mandy, and that was why Eve was now demanding a divorce.

The head master nodded and headed to tribune beginning his lecture. “Let us begin our lesson with the war 100 year ago,” the headmaster flicked his hand and books started to appear in our table. ‘Along with the Gods’ was written in the book cover. “In your hands now is the book that we will be using as reference for today’s lesson. Kindly open it to the fourth page, young wizlings.” The shuffling of the book pages can be heard throughout the lecture hall and the headmaster started his speech again.

I go through all the books as Gunner watches me, still not sure what I’m doing. I set the last book down and look over at him. “Did you figure out what you needed to?” He asks, and I purse my lips again. “I’m not sure what I figured out, but I think I’m onto something.

He continued his questions as Judy hummed loudly before turning to the man. "We need to make a lot of noise for Ash to think that you beat me for coming back too late or whatever reason I'll come up with later." She dismissed the questions, standing up and waving a dismissal hand at the man, pulling him up beside her and turning the TV volume down a little. She rolled her sleeves up and grinned at the man she agreed to marry years back. "Okay. I'm ready." Noah groaned to himself as his eyes teared up heavily as he landed the first punch to the woman's face, leaving a red mark that would turn into a bruise the very next day.

Her forehead slammed hard into the corner of the shoe cabinet by the doorway. Blood trickled down immediately. Harry started crying loudly. Wendy clutched her bleeding forehead and scrambled backward, barely staying on her hands and knees. “You crazy psycho! Just you wait!” She grabbed Harry and stumbled into the elevator. My strength drained away as I slid down the door frame and sat on the floor. I closed my eyes as I felt a wave of cold. Once I made up my mind, I pulled out the ultrasound report from under the coffee table and tore it into pieces. I had been looking forward to it for six months.

"A shell of her former self, eh? That's spot on, Grandpa. Let's just focus on ourselves from now on. They're nothing to us." He nodded in agreement. "I won't get worked up because of her anymore. We'll live well together." Jolene dropped by not long after. She came bearing gifts for Bruce, but didn't plead for Leon. "Bruce, I'll get to the end of this. I'm just glad you're alright." Bruce didn't give her a warm response. She felt guilty and left on her own. However, she felt an odd sense of emptiness growing inside her as she walked away, leaving her increasingly uneasy. She lit a cigarette—something she hadn't touched in a long time.

Abby already felt guilty for lying to Kris about what happened to Megan in the UAE. *** Reading a book on the sofa, Abby greeted Max with a smile. John yelled out a greeting as he rooted around in the kitchen. “Are you eating again, bro?” Max asked. “None of your business, hoe.” “Make me some muesli. I haven’t eaten breakfast.” “Make your own damn birdseed,” John grumbled. “I’m heading to Lizzy’s soon.” Max sat on the edge of the sofa. “Are you enjoying your book?” “It’s an interesting book. Irena’s Children.” She flashed the cover, then paused. “You know what I’m reading, of course you do.”

For his new mate’s sake, I hope he grows out of that. “Alpha Gabriel, Ume, Kreon. Welcome to Crescent Wind.” Alpha John’s voice was loud yet welcoming, its boom filled the room, and his smile was to die for. He had a smile that toothpaste models would envy. The other wolves in the room started to welcome us in as well as we made our way to the table. Some of the people I knew. His Beta Rob and his little sister Jessy and their baby brother Cody.
