Hearing that name makes my heart clench. I do not deserve to be using her dresses like this. However, I have this hypothesis about her death. If Vivian, her so-called bestie, is affiliated with the kidnappers, then what happened to Eloise was more or less her doing. I'm sure Vivian must have manipulated the story to find favour with the Lycan kings.
When it is time to leave my room, Kate smooths her hands down my gown and gives me a nod of approval.
Once we reach the hallway, I feel a tug at the hem of my dress. I look down to find Liam struggling to catch up with me. I stop and lift him up to my height; he giggles as I playfully pinch his cheeks, eventually resting his head firmly on my shoulder.
Lucian is trailing behind them, looking like a total wreck. His eyes are almost pleading with me to take the boy — to adopt him or whatever it takes to get him off his hands.
