Helena had come down with a cold these past two days. On Saturday morning, after visiting Sybil Ross at the hospital, Charlene drove across town to pay a visit to Irma at the hospital where she was staying. When Charlene arrived, both Thorne and Jasmine were already there. Irma seemed
Vesta offered a faint smile. “I wrapped things up and came straight here.” The truth was, she hadn’t felt comfortable leaving things unsupervised. The meeting was barely halfway through when she slipped out of Neural Nexus Tech. She knew Thorne wasn’t required to attend the meeting Charlene was leading today.
Charlene and Thorne walked side by side out of the hospital room. Once they’d put some distance between themselves and the door, Charlene spoke first. “If you have something to say, now’s your chance.” Thorne glanced over at her. “My grandmother’s condition still isn’t stable. I’d like to put off
Two days later, just around noon, Charlene Ross and Gaylord Hearst were on their way to the cafeteria for lunch when her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Thorne Henderson. Charlene glanced at the screen, hesitated for a moment, then answered. “Hello?” “Grandma’s awake.” A wave of relief
Chapter 750 Noah leaned back, swirling his wine lazily. “Interesting that nobody even knew about her until recently,” he said, his eyes shifting to me and then to Judy. “No announcement… no Luna ceremony. Keeping your mate a dirty little secret?” Judy’s eyes flashed gold for the briefest heartbeat. I
Chapter 749 I hadn’t seen Noah Blackwell since I was 16 years old. We used to be best friends, but then something happened, and I was no longer allowed to see him. His entire family fell off the face of the earth. I stopped questioning why after a while; my
Chapter 748 “Of course,” Gavin said, nodding at the old woman. “It’s good to see you again, Esme.” The woman, Esme, looked at him briefly, but didn’t say a word as her eyes drifted back home. I looked around, wondering if anyone had noticed this, but to my surprise, it
Chapter 747 “Gavin Landry,” Zachary said as he stood, drawing my attention from the old woman and to the mysterious man in front of us… the urban legend himself. “It’s been a long time.” “It has,” Gavin replied, nodding his head slowly. “I was surprised when I received the invitation
Chapter 746 “We get out.” I nodded. I was about to push the door open, but Gavin reached for my arm, grabbing it gently. “You do not leave my side, understood?” The seriousness in his expression caused my heart to skip a beat, and I nodded. “Understood,” I repeated softly.
Chapter 745 Gavin was in the bathroom getting dressed when I entered. I folded my arms across my chest and stared at him. He was wearing a designer suit, and his hair was styled neatly. He looked at me in the mirror as he adjusted his tie. He knew what
Chapter 744 That’s when she realized the stone wasn’t the same as it used to be. It lost the magic that was clear as day inside of it. It lost its aura… it wasn’t the same stone. My hands curled into fists. “Gavin?” A mindlink came through, and I recognized
Chapter 743 Gavin’s POV “Hey…” I said softly, as Judy’s eyes opened. She looked disoriented for a moment before she finally registered that it was me, and then her body relaxed. I could tell she was having a nightmare; she was murmuring something in her sleep that I couldn’t figure
Chapter 742 “You had trouble breathing?” Gavin asked, his brows dipping as he stared down at me. My cheeks flushed; it’s not that I was lying to Gavin about the symptoms I was having, but I also didn’t tell him the entire story. I just didn’t want to worry about
Chapter 741 Judy’s POV “I got here as soon as I could,” Gavin said, rushing through the doors of the clinic. “Where is she?” I could see the pure panic on his face and the sweat that beaded on his forehead from his run. I doubted he even had his
Chapter 740 Daisy watched, a nervousness weighing in her chest. Lila grabbed a match and stepped back. She lit up the match and dropped it in the center of the circle, lighting the sage on fire. The flames crackled, causing Daisy to take an unsteady step backwards. Lila lowered herself
Chapter 739 Third Person POV The shadow region was darker than most, and it was exactly how Daisy Baldwin imagined it would be. It reeked of rogue and an unsettling magic that drifted through the air. Daisy’s tampered dress was dragged through the mud, and her normally flawless skin held
Chapter 738 “Did you go to see Levi…?” I asked, my voice coming out barely above a whisper. “Yes,” he said softly, not bothering to hide it. He knew I could smell the scent on his clothes; I had always had good scent, even for a werewolf. “Why did you
Chapter 737 Judy’s POV My stomach was in a knot. I knew something was wrong when Gavin left late at night, but I didn’t pry and asked him what it was he had to do. I had to trust him… he was my mate after all. He would never do
Chapter 736 The Silver Crescent Prison was about 20 minutes away from the villa. It was the largest prison in the world and the strongest. I only allowed the Elite force to guard it, and no criminal, no matter their strength, had ever been able to escape. It was so
Chapter 735 Gavin’s POV I heard the soft, padded footsteps on the marble floor around the same time I was putting on my coat. The kitchen was quiet this evening; most of the staff were off duty until the morning. Taylor had gone home to his mate; Irene was out
