Chapter 186

Raizel can only bite his lip before pursing his lips together.

“I don’t know. I want to think that this is fate. You coming into my life, that is. That we were supposed to be.”

“I’d like to think that too.”

He gives me a small kiss, resting his forehead against mine.

“How did I get so lucky to have you?”

“It’s all in the hair.”

He rolls his eyes but the smile on his face widens. He searches my face for a second, his smile melting into a softer more affectionate one. Raising a hand to my cheek, he brushes his thumb across my lips.

“I love you.

He whispers it like a soft promise. An intimate phrase that he doesn’t want anyone else but me to hear.

Like a secret he wants to keep between us, but I’m sure everyone knows. The love I feel for the man is nothing that can be hidden. The burning torch of affection lit up inside me can’t be concealed and honestly, I don’t want it to be.

I am his and he is mine.

Curse or no curse, I’d stand by him.

It doesn’t matter who knows.

“I love you.

”

“Well this is awkward.”

Weston nods his head awkwardly as they sat in a circle on the ground with the two kids hanging off Emerson’s arms like vines. The Beta and two Gam mas had resorted to becoming the children’s “playmates” as they waited for the Alphas to finish talking in the other room,”

Isaac looked over his shoulder and watched as the former Alpha and Luna spoke into the phone at the far side of the room. The looks they wore were a little unsettling, in fact, everyones looks were when they were speaking of some vision or whatnot. He felt a little reluctant in leaving his Alphas side, the atmosphere of the room had felt way too off for his liking.

He knew Alpha Locksworth would do no such harm to his Alpha. It was hard imaging he ever could when all he sees is the loved up look in his expression when he sees Selene. Still, he wondered what the hell was going on. Being kept in the dark was never something Isaac could handle.

“Who do you think they’re talking to?”

Emerson asked, keeping his eyes trained on the former Alpha with a look of curiosity on his face.

Weston shrugs, glancing over in their direction before giving Emerson a frown. He had no idea what to make of this situation. He would’ve tried to c rack a joke or two but under these circumstances where his best friend’s heart was put on the line, he couldn’t find it in himself to make one. He was far too absorbed in the craziness of what was going on to even properly think straight.

“I don’t know… could be Williams. The dress thing really freaked them out.”

“I’m sure.”

Emerson sighs,

“F ucking hell, I’m freaked out too.”

Isaac cuts Emerson a glare to which the Gam ma raises his brows up in surprise. It’s when he feels the tug on his arm that he realizes that the kids were actually very much listening to them.

“…Sorry.”

Violet, who had been giving him a disapproving glare nods in satisfaction before continuing on to play with his shirt.

“You think it’s true though?”

Weston asks, more to himself than anyone else.

“That the dress is the same one?”

Emerson shrugs, cutting a glance at Isaac who sat there all confused.

“Could be. Fate is weird like that. The chances that our Alpha is interested in a woman who just so happened to have a f uck up of a mate. Who’s to say it wasn’t all part of the Goddess’ plans?”

“Yeah well, if we’re taking about the Goddess here, I won’t sugarcoat it and just tell it to you straight.

She’s a b itch if you’re telling me she did all of this for a reason.”

Isaac mumbles, unbothered to hide the venom in his voice. He had no idea what they were talking about but if they were speaking of the Moon Goddess and her plans, then he had no mind in being as brutally honest as he wanted to be. She was just a being who takes, takes and takes. Never seeming to have enough and takes more from everyone he cared about.

Emerson frowns and looks to Weston who’s already looking at him. Clearly they sensed the threat in his voice but they chose to ignore it. Isaac didn’t seem to want to talk about it anyway. Violet and Xavier wandered off, finding more interest in the crayons laying around in the living room than the conversation they had no idea about. Their squeals and little footsteps could be heard going off into the distance.

“Hey… out of curiosity. I just want to ask,”

Emerson tilts his head to the side and looked at Weston.

“Why the hell are you and Jones so bi tchy to one another? What the f uck happened between you two?”

At the sound of Noah’s name, Weston dramatically rolls his eyes and groans..

“Nate? Goddess, don’t remind me. The little sh it-”

Thuds on the door cuts Weston off completely. He draws his brows together, looking at the other two in mutual suspicion before letting his gaze slide over to the former Alpha and Luna. Stefan Locksworth was already heading toward the door, his stance stiff and rigid as he found himself unable to identify the presence behind it. He knew someone was there but the scent was masked completely,
