Chapter: Chapter 11FOUR YEARS LATER Logan's POV My mate is back with me, in my arms where she belongs. I bury my face in her hair, inhaling her scent, lavender and citrus. Her scent has been imprinted into me since I discovered she was mine. Mine to hold, mine to cherish, mine to love. I say a quiet thank you to the moon goddess for bringing her back safely. Tightening my arms around her, I realize I'm never letting her go again. Never again. "Logan, let the poor girl breathe." My mom says, and everyone laughs. "It's alright, Georgina. I'm not complaining." Ariana says with a wide smile, her eyes bright. "If you say so, but it's my turn now." Mom pulls her in for a tight hug, tearing up. "My baby, I missed you so much." "May I have my daughter back now?" Julietta, Ariana's mother asks, and we all laugh again. "At this rate, we're never going to make it to the party." My dad says, and everyone groans. "Party?" Ariana repeats. "What party?" "It was supposed to be a surprise, honey

Chapter: Chapter 10I scream as the wolf slams into me, my breath knocked out of me as I hit the hard ground. The rock in hand, I swing at the wolf as it snaps its jaw inches from my face. Unfortunately, the rock falls from my hand, and just as its jaws snap shut around my arm, it's ripped away from me and thrown into a nearby tree before it does any serious damage. Logan's wolf lets out a threatening growl as he lunges at the other rogue wolf. He takes it down easily and comes back to me, shifting back to human form. "Ariana." He asks, frantically checking my body for injuries. "Are you okay? Did they hurt you?" Once he was convinced I was unharmed, he gently lifted me into his arms and walked us back to the pack house. I wrap my arms around his neck, resting my head on his shoulder as my breath evens out. He lay me on his bed when we got to the house and sent for the pack doctor. In less than half an hour, I'm cleaned up and ready to go."Make sure she stays off

Chapter: Chapter 9Ariana's POV "It's quite late, young lady." My mom scolds the second I enter. "It's alright, Mom. Logan was with me." I reassure her, taking off my coat. "I'm aware. Does this mean you've decided to stay?" She asks. She still hasn't accepted my leaving, although I've told her that it's just for a little while. I've always wanted to go to college and get a degree, and even though she doesn't approve, I know that she won't stop me. "I...I can't." I reply. "This doesn't have to do with you running away again, Ariana." "No, Mom, I love it here. I just want to fulfill my dreams before completing the bond." I explain. "Have you told him that?" She asks, and I shake my head. "He'll be devastated when he finds out; he loves you a lot." She wraps an arm around my shoulders, and we head to my room. "And I love him very much." I tell her, and I mean it. I've fallen in love with my asshole mate. ^^^ It's been a couple of days since I last saw Logan, which was odd because we've ba

Chapter: Chapter 8Logan's POV "What the hell, Vivian?" I roar, my anger taking over. "This is the last time I'll warn you. I don't want to see you anywhere near Ariana, and the next time you try anything like that again, I'll make you regret it." I growl, dashing out to find Ariana. "Ariana." I shout, searching the parking lot. I find her leaning on the car, her arms wrapped tightly around her. "I'm so sorry about that." I plead. She nods but doesn't say a word. The wind picks up, and she shivers. I pull off my jacket, placing it around her shoulders. "Let's get you home." I help her into the car before climbing in and pulling away. The awkwardness hangs in the air, the silence stifling. I can already sense her withdrawing from me, retreating back into her protective shell to avoid getting hurt. I pull into her driveway, turning off the engine. I take a deep breath before breaking the silence. "I really enjoyed dinner," I say. "That is, before what happened." I add. "I don't think I can do this

Chapter: Chapter 7Ariana's POV "She's not going anywhere." Logan roars, and I flinch. "What's he talking about, sweetheart? Are you leaving?" My mom asks, tears welling up in her eyes.I hold her hand in mine, squeezing reassuringly. "I'll be back, Mom.""Dad, you can't let her go." Logan protests."It's Ariana's decision to make. All we can do is prove to her that everything she needs is right here." Alpha Henry smiles at me, and I return his smile, grateful for the opportunity to choose. As the alpha, he could have commanded me to stay, but he didn't, and I'll forever be grateful to him.^^^I nervously wipe my sweaty palms on my dress, a white dress that Georgina had gifted me a while back. I'd never really had a chance to wear it, but it seemed like the right time. Logan would be here soon, but I couldn't calm my nerves. My first date with my mate, something I've always dreamed of, but I never imagined it would be like this. That I'd reject my mate and he would have to prove himself to me. In my

Chapter: Chapter 6Ariana's POV "I, Ariana Flores, reject you, Logan Smith, as my mate." My voice cracked as I said those words, my heart shattering into a million pieces. "No." An anguished cry escaped his lips as he fell to the ground, his knees hitting the earth with a silent thud. A gasp rang out from the tree line, and I turned to see the entire pack present. Georgina stood at the front, her hands cupping her mouth as a cry escaped her lips, her eyes wide with horror. I felt tears in my eyes as Logan's cries echoed in the dark night, and I knew I couldn't face their condemnation at me. They would judge me for rejecting my mate. Georgina would hate me. Taking one last look at Logan, I turned to run without looking back. ^^^ "Mom," I sobbed, burying my face in her shoulder as she held me, my body trembling with the force of my sobs. "My poor baby," she cooed softly, stroking my hair as I cried. I must have slept off because the next thing I knew, it was morning, and I heard my mom

Chapter: Epilogue 2 Caspian StormFOUR YEARS LATERI watched Sylas chase after Jared across the training grounds, his small legs pumping as fast as they could go. At four years old, my son was already showing signs of the alpha strength that ran in our bloodline, easily overtaking Ryker's three-year-old boy."Catch me if you can!" Sylas called out, his laughter echoing across the grounds.Ryker jogged after them both, grinning widely. "Slow down, you two. You're wearing out this old man."I couldn't help but smile. Three years ago, when Ryker had found his mate Quinn, none of us could have predicted how perfect she'd be for him. The Moon Goddess had blessed them with Jared just a year later, and watching my beta become a father had been one of the highlights of my life.But when I looked over at Olivia sitting on the grass nearby, my smile faded. She was watching the boys too, but I could see the worry etched across her beautiful face. The same worry that had been there for two days now, ever since the w

Chapter: Epilogue 1Olivia Martins "Push harder, Luna. I can see the head," Doctor Williams said urgently, his hands steady and sure. "One more big push."I gripped Caspian's hand so tight I was probably cutting off his circulation, but he didn't complain. He just kept stroking my sweaty hair back from my forehead with his free hand."You're doing so well, baby," he murmured, pressing a kiss to my temple. "So strong. I'm so proud of you."The contraction hit like a wave, stealing my breath and making me cry out. Every muscle in my body strained as I pushed with everything I had. I'd never felt pain like this, but underneath it was something else: anticipation, love, and the desperate need to finally meet our baby.Almost there, I thought through the haze. Almost time to meet you."That's it, Luna. Perfect," Doctor Williams encouraged. "I can see more of the head. Your baby's almost here."Caspian's thumb swept across my knuckles, his other hand never stopping its gentle movements through my hair. "I lov

Chapter: Chapter 90Olivia Martins I woke up feeling like I'd been hit by a truck. Everything hurt. My head, my body, and even my bones felt sore. The room smelled like Caspian—that mix of his cologne and something that I couldn't name. I was in his bed, the same one where he'd lain sick just hours ago.A cool hand pressed against my forehead, and I forced my eyes open to find the witch leaning over me, her face creased in concentration. Instinctively, I recoiled, my body tensing despite its exhaustion. I didn't want her touching me. Not after everything she'd done. This woman had been the cause of so much pain, so much suffering. What was she doing here? What did she want now?"Easy," Caspian's voice came from beside me. His hand found mine, warm and steady. "You're safe now."I turned to look at him. He looked tired but strong. So different from the dying man I'd left behind. My heart squeezed seeing him healthy again, seeing those blue eyes looking at me with love instead of emptiness."How is she?"

Chapter: Chapter 89Olivia Martins "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY MATE!"For a split second, relief flooded through me. Caspian. He was here, alive and breathing, his full alpha strength restored. He looked strong, powerful, nothing like the dying man I'd left behind fighting for his life. But that relief lasted barely a heartbeat before despair crashed over me.Those words. Those exact words. In this exact place.The sense of déjà vu hit me so hard I could barely breathe. My heart shattered all over again as the memory slammed into me. He was standing in this very warehouse, saying those very words, his eyes cold and unrecognizing as he looked at me with hatred. As he protected Bridget. As he chose to kill me for her.My hair fell like a curtain around my face as I looked down at the ground, my body going limp in Bridget's grip. The knife was still at my throat, but I barely felt it now. The pain in my chest was so much worse.Why? I asked the goddess silently, tears blurring my vision. Why are you doing t

Chapter: Chapter 88Olivia MartinsThe warehouse door creaked as I pushed it open, the sound echoing through the dark space. My steps were quiet on the cold stone floor, each footstep deliberate and measured, but inside my chest, my heart hammered against my ribs. Darius, along with the rest of the guards, wasn't too far behind, waiting for my signal before they attacked.A wave of memories crashed over me as I moved deeper into the darkness. This place, this was where everything had gone wrong. Where Karen had died. Where Bridget had done the unimaginable and stolen our bond, leaving me empty and broken. Where Caspian had forgotten meI glanced to my right, and bile rose in my throat. There, despite the efforts to clean it, was the stain where Karen's blood had pooled. The concrete was darker there, a permanent reminder of Bridget's cruelty. My stomach churned, but I forced myself to focus. I was here for Victoria. I had to stay strong."Victoria?" I called out, my voice carrying through the empty space

Chapter: Chapter 87Olivia Martins The witch stepped into Caspian's room first, her movements fluid and purposeful, like she'd done this a thousand times before. I stayed right behind her, close enough that I could grab her if she tried anything, my muscles coiled tight with barely restrained tension.Darius and Elizabeth flanked the doorway while Ryker positioned himself near the foot of the bed, all of us forming a protective circle around Caspian's unconscious form. The witch paid us no attention, her focus entirely on the man lying motionless on the bed.She moved to Caspian's side without hesitation, kneeling beside him on the hardwood floor. I shadowed her every movement, my hands clenched into fists so tight my nails bit into my palms. The urge to rip her away from him was almost overwhelming, but I forced myself to stay still.The witch placed her hand lightly over Caspian's chest, feeling the heat that radiated from his skin like a furnace. Her expression remained neutral as she assessed him. T

The Alpha's Forbidden Obsession
"Jealous?" He repeated. "I have no reason to be jealous of him." He leaned in, our faces inches apart. "If I wanted to, I'd have you." He whispered, his breath hot against my skin.
"But you can't." I swallowed. "We're just friends."
"Friends." He breathed.
"And friends don't get jealous." I whispered, my lips brushing against his. "Friends don't 'have' each other."
Yet here I was, straddling him in the front seat of my car, my legs on either side of his hips, our bodies pressed together. I could feel his arousal through the fabric of our clothes, and I unconsciously rubbed against him, seeking friction.
He groaned, his hands gripping my hips, holding me still. "Fuck, Jo." He brushed his lips against mine in a teasing kiss, and I let out a whimper, my hips jerking.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer as I deepened the kiss. As our tongues slid against each other, I tasted the familiar taste of his lips, like burnt honey mixed with whiskey.
It suddenly dawned on me that friends shouldn't know how they tasted.

Chapter: Chapter 18 - Evander I hadn’t meant to stop the car, but her words hit a nerve I hadn’t known was raw. My hands jerked the wheel, and we skidded to the shoulder, gravel crunching under the tires. And before I knew it, I'd picked her up and settled her into my lap, and she fit me perfectly, almost like she belonged there. And gods help me, she did. Her weight settled on my thighs, her legs bracketing my hips. My hands instinctively went to her waist, holding her steady as she looked at me with those eyes—so full of fire and softness it made my chest ache. “Jealous?” I repeated her accusation, scoffing, but my voice betrayed me. “I have no reason to be jealous of him.” I leaned in until her breath mingled with mine. “If I wanted to, I’d have you.” “But you can’t,” she whispered, her voice a shaky defiance that only made me want her more. “We’re just friends.” “Friends,” I repeated, the word like ash in my mouth. And still, neither of us pulled away. Her lips brushed mine, a whisper of contact that ha

Chapter: Chapter 17 - Josette "Evander?" I reach out to turn on the lamp beside my bed, but my hand hesitates mid-air. The dim glow of the moon casts eerie shadows on the walls, and I feel a shiver run down my spine. "Evander, is that you?" I call out softly, my voice barely above a whisper. Suddenly, the curtains shift, and I sense a presence in the room. My heart beats faster as I slowly swing my legs over the side of the bed and plant my feet firmly on the ground. "Who's there?" I demand, trying to keep my voice steady. The silence that follows is oppressive, and I'm about to convince myself it was just my imagination when I hear a faint rustling sound coming from the corner of the room. My eyes strain in the darkness, and then I see a shadowy figure standing, watching me . "Evander?" I whisper again, hope and excitement blooming in my chest. The figure steps forward into the reflection of the moon, and my heart skips a beat as I realize it's indeed him, standing there, watching me with an unreadable expr

Chapter: Chapter 16 - Josette His hands gripped my hair as he pulled me closer, my back arching as he devoured my lips. I moan into his mouth, my hips starting to move again, a slow, tortuous roll that has him groaning against my lips. I can feel how wet I am, my arousal soaking through my panties, leaving a damp spot on the front of his jeans.His hands tighten on my hips, his fingers digging into my flesh as they roam my body, each touch sending sparks of pleasure through me. "Josette." He groans my name, and I whimper, molding my front to his, needing him. Heat starts to build up in my core, and I increase my rhythm, my hips jerking, and just when I couldn't take it anymore, he grips my hips, his fingers digging deep, and shoves me aside. The car door swings open, and she storms out into the night. I sit there, chest heaving as I watch him pace the sidewalk, tugging harshly on his hair."Fuck." He shouts, the sound echoing into the darkness. I make a move to leave the car, but he stops me. "Stay in the car." He

Chapter: Chapter 15 - Josette"What do you think?" I asked Riley, doing a quick spin so she could get the full effect."Damn, girl, you look yummy," she said, licking her lips dramatically. I laughed, feeling a bit self-conscious, but I was mostly excited. I was wearing a short black denim skirt paired with an oversized school jersey, a messy ponytail, and smoky, almost too dark eye makeup that I thought made me look a bit edgy and a little dangerous. It was Friday night, and the whole school was excited about the home game. I didn't really know a damn thing about soccer, but apparently, playing against Denver Falls was a huge deal.Riley checked her phone for what felt like the hundredth time, her eyes lighting up each time. She was talking to Axel, who was playing in today's match, along with Evander. That's why I decided to come. He'd asked me to come check the game out, and I couldn't resist. Plus, Riley had been going on and on about how hot Evander and Axel looked on the field, and I had

Chapter: Chapter 14 - Josette "You bitch," she sneered, catching me off guard. I knew she didn't like me; her hatred ran deeper than I'd realized. "Don't think Evander gives a fuck about you. You're just a pity case to him, and once he's done with you, he'll discard you like trash." She finished, her voice dripping with malice, and turned to leave. I stood there, my mouth wide open, wondering what the hell just happened. I finished up and went back to the table to find Trish seated in my seat, her hands on Evander. What the hell?"I hope you don't mind, Evander and I have a lot to catch up on." She flashed me a sweet smile; her perfectly manicured nail traced patterns on his arm. I threw her an equally sweet smile, trying to hide my annoyance. "Go ahead. I was just leaving." As I reached for my food tray, she 'accidentally' spilled her iced tea on me. "Oops." She mock gasped. Evander handed me a napkin, and I frantically dabbed at the spi

My cheeks burning, I gripped the back of my chair and stood up to face him. "What are you doing?" I whisper-yelled.He raised his brow smugly. "I'm making it clear to everyone that I know you."Stunned, I was left staring as everyone waited for my reply. I didn't even know what to do but stare.Vanessa jumped up from her seat and grasped my arm, her eyes flashing with concern. "Josette, maybe we should—"But before she should finish, he asked. "Are you not going to introduce me to your friends, Josette?"I felt my blush deepen as I tucked my hair behind my ears. Why was he doing this?"Evander, this is Vanessa and Riley." I said gesturing to my friends, who were all staring at us with wide eyes, waving hesitantly."Nice to meet you ladies." He smiled and faced me, his hands outstretched. "So what do you say, friends?."I nodde
