Lisa's POV
"The mark on her neck is a coincidence. She got it from a tattoo artist down in Baltimore, and she has not expired yet. She has no mate at the moment, but she still has a couple of years before judgment will be passed on her. It was merely a misunderstanding, which wouldn't happen again. Her current age is in our database and you can all look it up yourself to clear your doubts. I want everything I do or say here to
Lisa's POVI hear his footsteps approaching me. They stopped in front of me. My knees were only a few inches away from his shin. "We always have to look out for each other." He whispered."So you're saying I shouldn't make eye contact with anyone in the house?" I looked up at his face.He picked up my hand and began to massage my knuckles, his skin skimming above and beneath my knuckles. You aren't familiar with who they are, unlike me. I know who's who, and when I come into contact with one of the demigods, I don't look directly into their eyes. But for you, don't look into anyone's eyes. Don't think about it, don't attempt it. They would simply take your refusal to look into their eyes as a s
Lisa's POVMoments after taking my bath, I hear a knock on my door. I tugged a shirt over my heart and my arms into the sleeves as I walked to the door. I wondered who that might be. I wasn't in the mood to entertain visitors at this moment.I heard another knock again. "Who is it?""It's Jonas. Open up."I opened the door to see Jonas standing outside trying to balance the two large plates of breakfast in his hands. How did he manage to knock if his hands had been busy?
I know I'm not a good person by any stretch of the imagination. I'm dangerous. I lie and I kill. But I wasn't a bad person either. Everything I do, I do because I want to protect my family by all means. That duty has been mine since birth, as I am the son of the former Prime Alpha and Beta, as well as the current Prime Alpha's brother. It was never wrong to want to preserve your family's legacy by eliminating anything or anyone that posed a threat to them.I brush my hand over Tiffany's soft skin, my hand moving from her face to her hair, then down to her waist and back up. Her head was propped up on my chest and her hands were wrapped around me. It provided me with the reassurance that I was protecting her from any harm that might come her way. The next couple of days were going to be decisive, and she would be my top priority. She snuggled deeper into my embrace, smiling with her eyes clos
Kayden's POVI raise my hand to knock on Lisa's door. After giving it a lot of thought, I realized that I needed Klaus and Jonas back in my order-at least for now. We haven't yet performed the final rite and presented ourselves before the nation as a whole, and it would raise a lot of questions if we were to be missing two important positi
Kayden's POVI hated senate meetings, but I had no choice. I'll continue to participate in them until my son becomes the Prime Alpha. Since I refused to take a plane back home, I have missed a lot. Blake and Jeremy filled us in on what had happened and the current situation with the rebels before we started to talk about the economy. As usual, Elijah led us through it. He was a financial guru and we looked up to him for advice on these kinds of matters. Currently, Vince and Raymond were talking to us about their budgeting proposal, which was all about explaining how their plans for making changes to the tax structure in the country would work according to their budget. Vince pointed at one of the largest holographic numbers floating behind him. As we can all see, this percentage of tax decrease would then transfer to the people who have a lot of financial sta
Lisa's POVIt's been three days now and I've not experienced anything out of the ordinary. It seemed like everyone had forgotten about my existence, and I was fine with that. Unfortunately, I have Ben feeling bad about not giving my deal with Kayden a fair chance. It was only fair that I try to integrate during the one week we agreed upon, or at the very least give it a shot and see how it went. I pulled up the sleeves of my cashmere sweater and tied my hair in a ponytail, a few strands escaping from my clutch. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I was looking refreshed after being holed up in my room for days.I let out a deep breath and, squaring my shoulders, I moved towards the door, opened it, and made my way along the familiar path leading
Lisa's POV"You won't be alone. I'll come to visit you from time to time."“That's a lot, and I can't ask you to make such a commitment. You have a country that's on the brink of war to take care of. You'll soon need to get a wife and have kids to raise. "His breath tickles my neck. His lips slowly nibbled on the skin between my jaw and my collarbone. The butterflies in my stomach flapped around violently. His lips brushed against my neck again as he whispered ever so gently."I want you to stay with me, Lisa." He kissed me again. I couldn't handle the heat anymore. I stand up, whirling around, keeping the chair between us."What are you doing, Kay
Lisa's POV What do I want? I stare at my reflection in the foggy mirror. My face and hair make a blurry picture of red and white. Casting everyone aside right now, what do I want to do? I would choose to stay here. I would be willing to risk my life to be with my friends. There was every possibility of me dying if I stayed here, but living alone in France wasn't something I considered doing. I was practically living alone, shut away from everything and everyone I had ever known. But then, it wasn't my choice. Jonas is the only person holding me back. No, he wasn't holding me back. He was holding me away. Pushing across the Atlantic Ocean, I selected a red dress with long sleeves and floral patterns on it and a pair of comfortable shoes. One of the benefits of living in
