LOGINOh wow. I guess Erik still stands a chance to give a beat down to Larken...
Gerard POVI walked with Silja towards the bathroom. On the way, we were discussing where we would go for lunch.“I could really go for some Hibachi!” she said excitedly.“You and your Asian food,” I chuckled.Romy and Silja both looked at me like I wasn’t seeing the obvious. “Sils could eat her weight in Asian food, Mr. Sinnett.”I laughed. “You are right about that. Am I ordering Shumai?”Silja smiled. “Damn right, you are. Shumai and a Singapore Sling!”I shook my head, smiling. She is very happy, and I am glad. Having this defamation case behind us is a great step. As we approached the bathroom, I saw Trina’s mother outside.“Let’s get out of here, Silja. If Trina’s mother is standing outside, then Trina is in there. I don’t want you alone with her.”She and Romy both stopped smiling. Romy grabbed Sils' free hand, and we turned around to leave. As we are walking away, I hear Mrs. Mayer call my name.“Ignore her, Ged. Nothing good will come from talking to her,” Silja said, and hon
Silja POVThe uneasy feeling I’m getting from Trina is only growing the longer we sit here waiting for the judge to come in. Romy notices and whispers in my ear, “Biatch, don’t get yourself worked up. This could be a tactic.”I took a deep breath. “I know you are right, but something feels off, Romy.”“Breathe, Sils. Remember, you answer only what you are asked. Do not elaborate more than needed.”Finally, the judge comes in, and we all stand.“Be seated,” the judge said.“This case is Sinnett v Mayer. Defamation,” the bailiff said as he handed the folder to the judge.He turned to Romy and me and asked us to explain the alleged defamation. Romy went on to explain that Trina publicly claimed I didn’t deliver the desired product, which ruined my reputation and cost me my job. She said it caused irreparable damage to my career and blacklisted me from the industry unjustly.“Do you have any proof to show the desired product was delivered and accepted?” The judge asked.Out of the corner o
Silja POV“You are not going by yourself, Sils,” Gerard said with finality.“Gerard, the Luna Guard will be with me, and so will my beta female. She’s my attorney after all.”“No. I’m coming with you. I don’t know what kind of stunt Trina is going to play. I haven’t forgotten what Larken said.”Larken did say she was planning something. “I don’t think she would try something in the courthouse, Gerard.”“I won’t take any chances. She could try something before or after the hearing. She could have something set up outside. I’m not risking your safety, Silja. I’m coming with you.”I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck, conceding. “Okay. Then we'd better get going in the next hour.”I kissed him gently, and then he deepened the kiss. When he pulls away, he looks me in the eyes. “I want her, her scheming, and anything else she is plotting behind us, Silja. My dream hasn’t changed, and I am nervous that you are going to leave me and take our son with you. It will break me, Sils. You a
Silja POV It has been three months since Lennox was born. All has been quiet. Gerard and I have been living in peace with our son. Jaul and Ged talked about Kiercy staying at Night Crown, and Ged categorically shut that down. He called Elder Starling himself and said no. He told him what happened to Romy and how Kiercy was involved. Whether by force or intentionally, Kiercy hurt his beta female and is not welcome to stay in the pack. Romy has gotten a lot of documents prepared for the upcoming council hearing with Larken to have him put away for good. She is also working on getting my court date in the city to sue Trina for defamation. All in all, she has kept busy. She said that after the court hearing with Trina, she and Erik will start trying for a pup. She has gotten baby fever watching Ged and me with Lennox. Of course, Erik has been smiling and laughing nonstop, watching Ged stumble through feedings and getting thrown up on by his son. “Wait until it’s your turn, Erik. You a
Trina POV I finally got a call from Kiercy. Larken arranged for her to be my point of contact since I couldn’t be his plus one. He said bringing Kiercy would throw Romy off, and that was what he wanted for himself. He also said that would make me less suspicious. “Kiercy, I’ve been waiting for your call,” I said with a smile she obviously cannot see. Kiercy whispers, “I don’t have long, Trina.” “Why are you whispering?” “Because things didn’t go as expected,” she answered. “Tell me what happened.” “Larken goaded Romy. But she isn’t the same person she once was. She is smart and has proof of everything Larken had done to her. During the exchange, things got heated, and Larken threw Luna Silja across the room and against the wall. She’s very pregnant, and she was in pain. Alpha Gerard rushed her out of there and took her to the pack hospital. Then Alpha Jaul challenged Larken for Golden Dawn. There was an elder present, and he approved the challenge,” she said quickly. That pompo
Jaul POVIt’s time for my meeting with Elder Starling. He will be here in thirty minutes. I am currently in the conference room of the pack house. I don’t want to speak inside Gerard’s office. It might give the wrong impression, and I don’t want to mislead him into thinking I’m taking Night Crown.I thought about it long and hard. I thought about what Dad said. He said that the offer was either to take Golden Dawn and leave Night Crown to Gerard, or to take Night Crown, after which the council would replace the Alpha for Golden Dawn. They didn’t offer to make Gerard the alpha of Golden Dawn. Which means he would have to apply for the role, and then there is no guarantee he would get the position.This way, he retains being an alpha of a pack, and I get a pack, too. It works out for both of us. Plus, after his call, he said that Silja thought it made sense and that it would give us the opportunity to work together and build our own bond.Gerard was willing to give up being alpha in orde
Silja POV You have got to be kidding me. Gerard and I just had a fantastic time in the bedroom, washed up, and we were going to enjoy a meal together and his mother showed up. ‘Why is she here?’ I asked in the mind link. ‘Hell, if I know.’ He responded. “Mother. What are you doing here?” He aske
Gerard POV When my father told me what my mother had over him, my expression darkened. I feel like my life has been one long lie. It also complicates things. I don’t even understand how my father didn’t see it back then. It makes me feel like a fraud, too. I spoke quickly with my father about a so
Jaul POV Dad finally gave me an opportunity to be the Alpha and CEO. Then I found out that Gerard’s mate is pregnant and agreed to be his Luna, so their pup is legitimate. That took me out of the running before the race even started. I went to find my dad and talk to him. I should have known this
Gerard POV She just claimed me in front of my dad and her best friend. BEST. FUCKING. FEELING. EVER! When she said yes, she looked at me with more than just an answer to her question and for once I am feeling a flicker of hope that our relationship is really going to make a huge one-eighty.
