Alaric's POV

...Cara was pregnant?!

With twins?!

Lilia's face is expressionless now, but I will never forget that little smile. The look of satisfaction on her face when she heard it was Cara who had been wounded in the accident. "LILIA!" Grey growls in my head. "She did this!! She is responsible!!"
