Love

| smiled when | received a goodnight’s text from David. Our conversation was replaying in my head. | needed to find out what Ellis accused him of. Why wasn’t David telling me? Could it be Ellis was

right?

| was lying in bed with Cayden, and Solara after watching an interesting episode of their favorite cartoon. They were dozing now. My phone beeped, and | checked it, it was a message from Ellis. | avoided opening it immediately, my heart pounding. My phone pinged, again. | opened it this time, he’s asking if he can call to talk to the

kids.

LOVE: [They are almost sleeping now. They won’t speak anything coherent]

CEO: [Are you lying to me, Love?] felt a smile begin to curl on my lips, why does Love sound totally different when it comes from him? | frowned at his message, why does he think am lying? | captured a picture of us in the bed and sent it to him, however, | forgot to blur my face out. My first thought was to delete it from both sides, but my phone slipped out of my hands in my rush

#

F uck,” | grabbed the phone and try to delete but it showed he opened it. | deleted it anyway and sent him a new one.

CEO: [I already saw the first picture. It was saved in my gallery] | could picture the smug smile on his face.

LOVE: [Whatever, It’s not me who'll be in trouble]

CEO: [ What do you mean by get in trouble? ]I contemplated telling him about what Charlotte said to me when we went for lunch last

time.

LOVE: [Women don’t like it when they see another woman’s picture in their boyfriend’s phone] | sent the message. | could see he read the message but hesitated to reply. Typing, then stopped.

CEO: [May | take the twins to school tomorrow?] My heart sank when he texted that instead of responding to what | said. But what did | want him to say? To deny her? He couldn't do that and as Charlotte said, they were happy. Maybe | wished they weren't. | didn’t want Ellis to be happy with a woman who wasn’t me, but | was being selfish. | just agreed to a serious relationship with David a few hours ago.

CEO: [May I?]

LOVE: [They have a chauffeur for that and Luis, and |. No need] Yep, | was definitely sounding bitter right now.

CEO: [I know but | want to do it, please]

LOVE: [Okay. I'll send you the location]

I sent him our location after he asked for the second time. | had to, for the kids, and | knew he'd learn it either way soon. | was surprised he hadn't already.

CEO: [Thank you. Sleep well]

Ellis’ pov

| was enthusiastic about tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'll see my children. | wondered how they'd react. Will they be happy to see me? Solara would be, but what about Cayden? | checked the text messages Love and | exchanged. | hated when she said Charlotte wouldn't like to see their pictures on my phone. | wanted to tell her that | don’t love her, and It’s her | love and want to be with, but she’d never believe me if | told her. | will need to find a powerful priestess to break the bond between Charlotte and me before | can think of making my true

feelings for Love known to her. However, they are against coming between fated mates as they have a close relationship with the goddess, and might lose their powers if they did.

‘We'll find one,’ Lias was determined.

One who would risk losing their magic?’ | sighed. | knew the consequences were dire for them. That's why this has been hard. ‘I can’t wait to see our pups tomorrow. They are perfect,’ Lias said. He was excited and nervous for tomorrow as well.

‘They are,’ | concurred with a smile on my lips.

| closed my eyes to allow myself some sleep but was startled by the soft voice through the mind link. My heart pounded when | focused on who was trying to mind-link with me. It was my sister, Zeyneb.

‘Zey. You're close?’ | breathed, sitting straight. | couldn’t connect with her through our mind link because she was far away.

Ellis -‘ it went quiet. | was panicking as | jumped out of bed. Why was my sister distraught?

| grabbed my phone and called her number, but it was off. | called her husband’s mobile phone, Alpha Maybin. He was an alpha of the Nightfall moon pack.

He picked up on the second ring, ” Hello, Alpha Ellis,”

Where is my sister?” | went straight to ask. He was silent, and | started to worry.

She's sleeping. We were in the city a few minutes ago,” he said. Why didn’t she tell me she was in the city? Zeyneb and | have always been close, but since her abrupt marriage to Maybin, we haven't been as close as she is busy with her new family and

duty.

Oh, | see. | thought to call you since her phone wasn’t going through,”

Something felt wrong. It was unlike Zeyneb’s inner Lycan to be so

weak. She was one of the strongest female lycans | knew yet | could tell through our connection that she wasn’t at her strongest. I'll pass on your message when she wakes...” he said, ” Alpha Ellis don’t worry, Zeyneb, is safe with me,

| ended the call. Even though he assured me Zeyneb was safe, | was uneasy. | needed to visit my sister's pack. Maybin was hiding something from me.

| was at my south border in twenty minutes. Jace and three of our warriors were there.

Alpha, is everything okay?” Michael asked, frowning and removing

his face mask.

Couldn't you have done that at home?” | scowled.

And why are you dressed in a pink tunic,” Jace asked, confused.

“Leave me the f uck alone, Jace. | have a score to settle with you,” he snarled. What were they fighting about this time?

“Well, you ordered us here, Alpha. Do you see what time it is? If | don’t get enough sleep, I'll have bags under my eyes,” Michael complained. The men chuckled while | shook my head.

We are going to the Nightfall Moon Pack. Something is wrong with my sister,” | said, and they straightened up.

She mind-linked me, and her lycan sounded hurt, weak,” | told him. | didn’t need to explain any further.
