After all, it's not what she wanted. She wants a steamy moment at a hotel with me, but I have no mood for that when my position is at the edge. I couldn't miss this opportunity with Brielle. I carefully lifted her off my hold and stared at her face. It was clear that she was forcing a smile, tryin
Luckily, I had snuck away from the party and straight for the terrace of the mansion, to be alone. "Goddess, you should have clipped my lips and stopped me from inviting Estelle. I should have seen this coming," I groaned, rubbing my forehead. Just then... "Is this how other birthdays make you f

ESTELLE "Why won't you tell me what happened at Argon's place? Speak to me, dear," Father pleaded, sitting right next to me. I laid in bed, crying my eyes out. I was too hurt to tell my father what occurred, because I don't want him marching down to Argon's home and causing a scene. Daddy loves m
And not just that, the black fur began to move, crawling out from it's hiding spot. When my eyes fell on it, I was horrified! "It's you!" I recognized immediately. Those terrifying green eyes! "Did you miss me?" The black wolf asked, chuckling at me. My whole body came engulfing with heat, cau
