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

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

Chapter: Chapter 13 - Josette I stare at him, my mouth gaped in surprise. The cafeteria was silent now as everyone turned to look at us. 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

Chapter: Chapter 80Olivia Martins For a long, unbearable moment, the room was silent, except for the thunderous pounding of my heart. I stared blankly at the space he had occupied, trying to breathe around the ache clawing at my chest. Then Ryker was beside me. He didn’t speak at first, just crouched low beside the bed, close enough that I could feel his warmth, and held my hand. I didn’t turn to look at him. Still frozen in shock and despair. My vision blurred too quickly. “He hates me, Ryker,” I whispered, barely recognizing my own voice. “No,” Ryker said softly, gently. “He doesn’t hate you, Liv. He’s hurt. And angry. But he doesn’t hate you.” I let out a hollow laugh that sounded more like a sob. “You saw the way he looked at me. Like I was filth. Like I disgusted him.” Ryker exhaled slowly, steadying himself. “Olivia.” Tears spilled faster now, and I couldn’t stop them. My body trembled. “It’s his baby, Ryker. I swear to you, I’ve never… I’ve never been with anyone else.” He didn’t hesitat

Chapter: Chapter 79Olivia Martins The first thing I noticed was the softness beneath me, the bed. Familiar. Faintly scented with pine and smoke and something that made my heart squeeze even before I opened my eyes. Caspian. But my body was heavy, like I’d sunk into the mattress itself. I blinked slowly, vision hazy, and shapes came into view, the white ceiling… The soft glow of evening light filtering in through a window... and people, blurry outlines, clustered near the foot of the bed. I turned my head, sluggishly, and saw them more clearly now. Caspian stood rigid at the corner of the room, arms crossed over his chest, jaw tight. His gaze flicked toward me and away again, unreadable. Ryker was beside him, worry etched deep into his brow. Bridget clung to Caspian’s arm like he might vanish if she let go. Two guards lingered at the door, tension coiled in their posture. And the pack doctor stood closest, with a small smile on his face. Something felt wrong. Off. I tried to sit up. Pain tugged t

Chapter: Chapter 78Ryker Pierce I watched them drag her away. Olivia’s voice rang in my ears, shouting Caspian’s name, not in anger, but in disbelief, in heartbreak, like she couldn't believe he would do that to her. And Caspian just stood there. Frozen. Cold. I moved to follow her, instincts overriding logic, but Caspian stepped into the doorway, blocking me. “You’re not going after her,” he said, voice low, tight. My heart pounded in my ears. “Move.” “No.” I stared at him, really looked at him. His face was blank, but his fists were clenched at his sides, and his jaw ticked like he was seconds away from snapping. “You just had her dragged away like a criminal,” I snarled. “And now what? You won’t even let anyone check on her?” His eyes darkened, and then his words sliced through the tension like a blade. “You care an awful lot about her,” he said. “Maybe a little too much. Are you sleeping with her, Ryker?” The air left my lungs. I took a step back, blinking in disbelief. I couldn't belie

Chapter: Chapter 77Olivia MartinsI woke up late, as I'd been doing the past couple of days, but this time, I wasn't sad. Sunlight filtered softly through the curtains, painting the room in a gentle golden glow. I was warm, tangled in the blankets of Caspian’s bed, his scent still clinging to the sheets. He was gone, but for once, I didn’t mind. I smiled as the memories from the night before wrapped around me like a second blanket.He'd come back to me.I took my time getting ready, still humming under my breath as I slipped into a simple dress and pulled my hair into a loose braid. For the first time in what felt like forever, I wasn’t dreading the day; I wasn't even plotting a way to murder that bitch.I practically skipped to the dining room, ate without really tasting anything, and headed toward his office, heart light and hope simmering just beneath the surface.But as I reached the door, I paused.Bridget’s voice drifted through the wood, thick with annoyance and forced sweetness. “I waited all ni

And locked it.The click felt too loud in the quiet room, but I didn’t care. I leaned my forehead against the wood and let out a breath.There was no way I was letting her have him tonight.When the water finally stopped, I sprang into action.I busied myself with the pillows, fluffed them twice, then dropped them. I checked the lamp. Turned it off, then on again. Pointless things. Anything to distract myself from imagining her body wrapped around his.He walked out in nothing but a towel, damp hair messy and dripping, a faint trail of water glistening down his chest.I turned, pretending I hadn’t been waiting for him like a lovesick idiot.He didn’t say anything.

Chapter: Chapter 75Olivia MartinsBridget's scent clung to his skin like a second layer.I froze, immediately filled with disgust.No.No, no, no.I shoved at his chest.He didn’t budge at first. He was still lost in it, kissing my neck, gripping my waist like he needed me to breathe.“Caspian,” I said, sharper now, pushing harder. “Let me go.”His head lifted, dazed and flushed. “What?”I scrambled out from under him, my heart pounding. My body was still aching for him, still wet, still hot, but I couldn’t ignore it. I wouldn’t.“You were with her,” I spat.He blinked, confused and drunk, like the sentence didn’t register. Then he gave a slow, dismissive shrug and leaned back on his elbows.“She’s my mate,” he said simply, like that explained everything. Like that excused it.Rage clawed up my throat.“She’s not your fucking mate, I am.” I snapped.He groaned and dragged a hand through his hair, looking both exhausted and turned on. “Olivia…”“No,” I hissed, storming away from the bed. “Don’t ‘Olivia’
