228 Grace: Notifications — (END BOOK FOUR)
And then stupid me had to…
Though I’m not exactly opposed, I might die of embarrassment before the words get out.
Ruining beautiful memories with thoughts of that bastard should be illegal. Thought police, lock me up.
From Lyre.
Ugh.
Sleeping… isn’t happening.
Mysterious App issues aside, I just need to wait for its maintenance to end so I can decipher my new mission and get the hell out of here. Between worrying about Ellie’s next move, the bad memories I seem to hold onto now that I’m back, and the headache of knowing Caeriel’s watching my every move…
They’re still snoozing peacefully.
Then I bang my face against my pillow a few times with a silent groan.
I hope not.
[LYRE: Want some more kids?]
[DIVINITY SYSTEM NOTICE: Emergency Maintenance in Progress.]
But–funny, how he had so much respect and yet never stopped.
Or do prayers just go into the abyss?
If I really focus, I wonder how long it would take to top me off. And then, maybe, we can revisit this whole virginity thing and take care of the question once and for all…
There’s a whole cluster of alerts, all from the Divinity App.
First off: I knew that damn mission alert was bugged to hell and back. Hopefully whatever they’re doing will fix it so I know what I’m supposed to do next.
Fuck.
Second: Wow, whoever’s working on the App seems to be a little touchy. Their professionalism went downhill fast.
[DIVINITY SYSTEM NOTICE: We apologize for the inconvenience.]
It’s a text message.
My phone buzzes against my hip somewhere, and I reach for it blindly, not wanting to move too much. Whatever energy my body had has been sucked out by Caine.
Huh.
Wait–did prayers always go into the abyss? Which prayers reach the gods? Is there some sort of required faith level for it to make it into whatever queue they’re talking about, or are only people with access able to reach the ears of the divine?
My body’s running low on arcana, but thanks to Lyre’s little bit of teaching, it’s a lot easier to replenish than before. Like now, without thinking, I’ve been pulling arcana in -the magical equivalent of fast–charging versus slow.
No.
A quick tap of the screen brings harsh blue light, and I desperately tap down the brightness until it’s not eyeball–searing, glancing hesitantly at the girls to my side.
I open the message, heart pounding with relief; it’s been radio silence over there, and I’ve been worried.
[DIVINITY SYSTEM NOTICE: We are aware the system is down. Abusing the report feature will incur penalties.]
Kind of obvious, considering.
Bun shifts in her sleep and I hastily turn off the screen, not wanting to wake her.
Burying my face into my pillow with a silent scream eases the frustration in my soul a little bit, though every time I move my nether lady bits twinge. Which is totally a sign I’m not a virgin, I think, and some tiny, prudish part of my soul is absolutely horrified. Which begs the question: Who, exactly, is maintaining this App? I wonder if I’ll ever find out.

The readers' comments on the novel: Grace of a Wolf (by Lenaleia)
I really like the story and the characters of this book. I hope it's completed or will be soon, not dragging over and over....
What kind of trouble? What was the trigger for Brax's anger?...
Caine is her mate and he adores her, she shouldn't fear him like that and above all shouldn't show the kids that she's afraid 😮💨...
Not convinced this lie is a good idea. Too many variables that could make the plan go wrong: Andrew's loyalty? He knows Grace and Caine are mate. The kids? You're teaching the kids to hide or lie on something......
It's so funny how quickly Caine adopted the kids 😊...
The big Lycan king with a baby in his arms....Jack-Eye will so much laugh at the sight 🤣🤭...
Because me being always the rational person I am, who overthink everything always wonder: do you have that many clothes to afford ripping them off each time? Making them dirty with fluids? Certainly you won't go around like that!?...
She's slowly managing to control the energy flow 🥳 but how slowing it has a worse effect on him?...
On the other end, he should tell Grace why he is preventing the kids, especially Bun, to have contacts with her....
Cain's suddenly so funny I his daddy mood. He definitely must not leave again and stay with "the family" to keep his mood stable! 😊...
