LOGINEZRA'S POV "Was it?" He asked me. "I swear on my life that it was a mistake. I didn't intend to send them to you. My fingers must have accidentally clicked on them instead of..." I paused, sensing I was giving too much unnecessary details at this point. "Why? You think I am not worth seeing these pictures?" "It's already embarrassing for me to know you have them. Why should you have them? Friends don't have these pictures of each other." I was almost losing my mind going back and forth with him regarding this. "Hmm. But who did you want to send them to? Your boyfriend?" "You don't need to know who they are meant for. I apologise for sending them to you. Can you do me the favour and just delete the pictures off your phone? Please?" He didn't respond. "Well if you don't, I won't be going on this tour. I am not feeling so good after all so you might have to find someone else." I grabbed my bag and was about to storm out of the apartment when he held me back.
EZRA'S POVI was standing in what seemed like a void for only a minute when a dungeon arrived without transition. One moment, it felt like there was nothing. Then the next? Stone walls and iron bars which took me by surprise. I frowned deeply as I looked around me intently. I saw her again. She was against the wall. She wasn't kneeling this time around though. Her back was against the stone with her knees drawn to her chest and her face buried between them. Another thing was that I was close enough to her unlike my previous appearances...so close that I crouched down, reached out and pressed my hand toward her shoulder. But instead of feeling her skin, my hand passed through her. I was stunned and tried again. I pulled my hand back, looked at it and then moved my eyes to her. At that point, I tried to understand the logic of a place where I could smell the rot of the stone walls, feel the cold on my skin and yet still could not reach for a person.How was that even possible??I open
AUTHOR'S POVAldric set his tablet down and looked at both of them with the energy of a man about to deliver a lecture he had given versions of before but never quite in this specific version. "Have you had that word before, Ezra?" Ezra nodded at first but then moved his head sideways. "You're an omega, child. You should know more about your body system. I blame Caelen for this." He clapped his hand and cleared his throat, "In standard omega biology, knotting is the mechanism that fully opens the womb to the possibility of pregnancy. It's the biological completion of mating. It's not just the act itself but the specific psychological event that signals to the body that a full bond has been consummated." He looked at Riven directly. "Without it, the womb remains closed and its recipient is biologically protected." "The fuck." Riven's hands dropped. "Yeah. And in a standard pairing, that would have been sufficient, one Alpha and one omega, the knotting typically oc
AUTHOR'S POVMarco stood at the railing of the balcony with his phone pressed to his ear as he watched the city do its evening thing. He appreciated the fact that he got the quieter side of Caldenmoor. At least the vampires were reasonable in that aspect. "You sound well," the woman on the other end said. Her voice was warm and soft too as if that had always been her state. "That is because I am well, Aunt." He chuckled. "I expected no less from them anyway. They have the Alpha of Alphas visiting them after all so they would treat you well." Marco nodded and sipped from his cup. "It is just that the city is colder than I expected." "It's the land of the living dead after all. Caldenmoor is always colder than people think." There was a slight pause. "And how is the proposal progressing? Has Lopez given you anything worth considering?" Marco turned his phone over in his free hand. "I'm still thinking about it. I haven't seen enough yet to commit. The numbers are sound
EZRA'S POVImmediately I came out of the cab, I looked around the residence. It was one of the properties of the Lopez hence the feeling of familiarity. It was one of the guest residences the family had kept for visiting business partners and they all had the same specific quality of furnishings and layout. One of Marco's men opened the door and showed me to a sitting room without much conversation. I sat in the chair nearest to the fireplace. Caelen was nice enough to let him stay here. The irony was not lost on me. He appeared ten minutes later in a red robe with a kind of ease that showed he was entirely comfortable making a visitor wait while he finished his morning at his own pace. His hair was still slightly damp. "You look more like a vampire than a wolf," he said, by way of greeting. "Good morning to you too." I replied. He looked me over with amusement. "Good morning. I am just amazed...honestly, it's difficult to tell what you are." "I'm part of them," I answer
EZRA'S POV "I wonder what burden you're carrying in mind this time around. I can feel your troublesome spirit from miles away."Riven said as he patted my head and then wrapped his hands around my waist. Honestly, I didn't have the strength to tell him whatever my problems were. I climbed on him the same way I had seen Kaola do to a tree. His hands supported me by holding onto my ass. "I am not carrying any burden." I mumbled. "I am just a bit tired." He chuckled, my body feeling the rhythm of the vibration and so I bit my lips, expecting the teases that were about to come thereafter. "Yeah, right. I will believe you on that." He replied and carried me to the window. "You haven't even started working fully in the company and now you're tired?" He continued and I wiggled my legs before he slowly brought me down from the position I had been. As soon as my face turned to the window, a cold wind blew against my skin, evoking some kind of nostalgic feeling in me. Riven put h

EZRA'S POV "I am going out today." I announced at the table while having breakfast. "It will be later this morning." The table turned to look at me, their eyes silently begging for more information as to where I was going and who I wanted to meet but I was not interested in giving that informa
