Chapter: 083.ISABELLAThe voice is so deep, but it isn't the one I have been playing on a loop in my head for years. It's not Noah. It's someone else. Someone else knows my sizes. Someone else knows my address and knows my name. The dress slips from my fingers and pools on the floor. Chloe's eyes are wide, and her hand is near the phone's end-call icon. I will myself to speak even though I'm at a loss for words. I'm just an adult who's almost graduating from college. I don't know if I'll even have a steady job by then. My family is nothing to care about. My life is absolute trash. I don't understand if you get my point. I mean... I'm this girl without that one special trait that makes people stare or obsess. I don't qualify for this. I'm not supposed to be getting stalked! I'm not supposed to be receiving gifts from unknown people and getting orders to be at a ball. I'm just me. Isabella. So why? What does this deep-voiced man want from me?"Who are you?" "Isabella," the voice continue

Chapter: 082.ISABELLA "I'm done! I'm actually done, Bella!" She begins to pace the room, biting her bottom lip hard, her fingers tapping against her temple... a habit she only displays when she thinks I'm being stupid. "What if Noah disappoints you?" "What if he doesn't?" I counter. Chloe stops pacing and whirls around to face me. "What if he’s really engaged to be married, Isabella? What if he’s spent the last few years building a life that doesn't have a single square inch of space for you? What if he doesn't even remember your name?" I scowl at her. "You know that is not true." "I don't know who he is anymore!" Chloe shouts. "He’s... different. I’m sure you haven't even looked him up on social media since the day he left. You don’t know what he looks like, who he hangs out with, or what kind of person he’s become. You just keep clinging to this... hope that he cherishes you and all that 'forever' stuff." "Believe me, he is not the same Noah you once knew. You’d be surprised at how much

Chapter: 081.ISABELLAAfter I moved out of Noah's apartment back then, I moved in with my parents. I worked three different jobs in addition to Leo's. Every cent I didn't spend on basic necessities went toward that rent. I couldn't live there anymore... but I couldn't let it go.The note is still safe. It's still tucked inside the pages of my favourite book. Pages 127 and 128. Why wouldn't I keep it safe? I have to. It's proof for me. Whoever wrote this note wanted me to think that Noah left me for some opportunity abroad. He doesn't have any family there. He wouldn't just go there. "Earth to Isabella," I blink, my eyes falling on Mia before travelling up to the semi-circle of faces surrounding me. Chloe, Chase, and Derek. Right. I think I zoned out. Like I went out of this world into another. I always do that, so I know they don't think I'm crazy. Only, today their eyes are watching me. Makes me understand the whole reason why they wanted to hang out in the first place. This is one of those mee

Chapter: 080.ISABELLA"I'm not arguing. I just... worry about you. We all worry about you. Ever since he left, you haven't been the same, and you know it. You keep hiding the way you truly feel behind little things. You enjoy the little happiness that comes from small things. We are worried about you, Bella.""You don't worry about people who are fine."Chloe finally turns, running a hand through her hair. "Fine. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for saying it like that. And for worrying about my best friend."I watch her closely. "That will work." I smile reluctantly. Mostly because I do not have the sheer strength to argue. Or to be taught. Or to be lectured about what I already know. I don't need any of that."Yeah. Where is she going?" She nods to Nadia who has toddled over to the couch, attempting to climb it. She lets out a little grunt when she slips, then she tries again. I move to her, lifting her easily and settling her on the cushion. "There my love," I murmur, as she beams at me. Chloe rolls her

I wonder what Derek will say when he sees this one. He always has something to say.My hair, now longer and darker than it was at nineteen, falls forward, shielding my face as I lean down to inspect the work. At twenty-two, my face has lost its soft roundness. All I can see when I look at the mirror are sharp edges and distant eyes.Suddenly, a pair of hands clap onto the shoulder. "Boo!"I jump, looking up to see Chloe's grinning face. In her arms is a toddler with curls and chubby cheeks. I grin at Nadia. She looks so much like her mother even at two. Yes. Nadia is Chloe and Leo's daughter. Those two really went all in when they had this little girl. "Got you," Chloe says."You are the worst," She steps forward, drops Nadia on the floor and wraps one arm around me carefully. "You look good, bestie." She

Chapter: 078.ISABELLAThe sunlight filtering through the gaps in the curtains is too bright, and for the first time in weeks, I don't want to hide from it. I stretch out across the sheets. My body feels heavy, but in a good way... relaxed, cherished, aglow. Last night was fun, hot and definitely going to be repetitive. I smile, reaching out a hand to the other side of the bed, expecting to feel his heat. Empty. The sheets are cold.I sit up, pushing my hair out of my face with a small smile. Of course, he's probably in the kitchen, I think. Noah's little gestures are what make him a better man. I groan, sliding out of bed and grabbing one of his discarded flannels from the floor and slipping it on. It swallows me whole.I head to the bathroom first, humming under my breath. After brushing my teeth and worrying about my bleeding gums, I turn the shower on, letting the steam fill the room as I catch my reflection in the mirror.

The Goalie's Tutor
Aria Bennett is a top student with perfect grades but no social life. She is assigned to tutor the school's newest transfer student, Jason Monroe. However, Jason is consistently late to their sessions, cocky, and resistant to being told what to do. Aria just wants to get the tutoring over with.
Things take a turn when she discovers that Jason is on academic probation and risks losing his spot as the goalie on the hockey team. This revelation softens Aria's perspective on him.
As their late-night tutoring sessions become a regular occurrence, Aria starts to see the vulnerabilities behind Jason's tough exterior. Meanwhile, Jason never intended to develop feelings for the girl who dresses in oversized hoodies and carries notebooks. Yet, somehow, Aria is getting under his skin and possibly into his heart.

Chapter: 020.LILY"I will have you moved to the private suite. Is that okay, ma'am?" The doctor asks Elizabeth."Yes. Do whatever makes her comfortable. The money isn't a problem." Elizabeth nods."Great. We'll get the paperwork ready. I'll just..." She has her hand on the ultrasound wand, her eyes on the 'off' switch. She pauses, not pressing the switch. The way I'm focused on this doctor is really confusing. And I'm watching all of her every move. The way she frowns, her eyes darting back to the monitor. "Lily, stay very still," she says. "What? What is it?" Elizabeth asks. "Is she... is there a pulse?""No," Louisiana whispers, as she slides the wand higher, pushing against the top of my ribcage. "I'm... I'm seeing a third sack. It's tucked high, behind the others."I hold my breath, staying so still. I don't know what she means but I can only hope. The room is silent until the sound comes. Thump-thump, thump-thump.

This is the hardest part of my job, and it is the hardest choice you will ever have to make.""Just take them out," I say. "I can't... I can't feel her just sitting there. It's not right.""If we deliver right now," the doctor begins. "Your son has about an 80 to 90 percent chance of survival. That sounds high, but at twenty-eight weeks, those odds come with a heavy price. His lungs are like tissue paper. He would almost certainly face brain bleeds, intestinal issues, and months, if not a year, in the NICU. Some of those complications can last a lifetime.""Every day we keep him inside... every twenty-four hours... gives him a massive leap in development. If we can get you to thirty-two weeks, his chances of a completely healthy life without disability become nearly certain.""But she’s..." I choke on the word. "She’s gone.""I know.

Chapter: 018.LILY"Have you thought of names?" Fuck! How can her voice be this cheerful at this hour? I mean... it sounds too awake. It's barely daybreak. Or so I think. I wouldn't know. She sits on the edge of my bed and flips the covers off me. I groan and clamp my hands over my face. "I just woke up, Liz. And... I'm just twenty-eight weeks gone." I complain, then try to roll onto my side but it's almost impossible when I'm this pregnant. So I try to drag the covers up my head but she catches them and shakes her head at me."Nope. Don't do that. Come on, baby. You have to go for your morning walk. Keep the circulation moving, keep those ankles from doubling in size." She says softly, holding out her hand to me like she always does."I don't want to," I say, staring at the ceiling. "I feel so weak."

I'll ask Elizabeth about it when I find it in me to get out of this bed. The internal debate starts, as it does every morning. If I get up, I'll have to pee. There's no debating it. Once I'm on my feet, my bladder hits and I have to frequently use the bathroom. So I snuggle into my sheets more, glad that Jace and Bailey, are at school. It's not every day my body decides to give me a break. I've got to enjoy this.After a while, my phone beeps and I groan, rolling onto my side, then immediately regret it because my stomach does rounds of flipping like I've been spun around in a chair. I clamp a hand over my mouth and breathe through my nose, counting backward from ten like Doctor Louisiana suggested.Ten. Nine. Eight. The bile recedes, leaving a bitter taste in my throat.

She’s got that same warm smile that she has each time I come in for an appointment, but there’s a little extra twinkle in her eye today."Alright, Lily. We got the results back from the NIPT screening. Everything looks healthy, which is the most important part.""Great," I say. My voice is flat. I'm not smiling.

I didn't trust myself not to whisper. If I tried... I'd fail and I'd cry. "Amelia, he's your husband!" "I don't care. You promised to take this slow.

Hockey Heat; Pregnant And Mated
*Spoiler Alert*
"This is insane. You've lost your mind, Lucas. Werewolves... they don't exist."
"Yes, they do. Allie... look at me. What do you remember about that night?"
I flinched as Lucas cupped my sweaty face, gazing tenderly into my eyes.
"We had sex, and... you bit me," I replied, my eyes wide with shock. The memories remained fragmented, and my head throbbed as I tried to recall what happened.
"That's it, Allie. It explains everything. I'm sorry for biting you and putting you through this." Lucas pulled me into his embrace, and I began to sob.
"What's happening to me...?"
"You are in transition. You are going to become a werewolf."
It all started with one drunken hookup—one accidental bite. I just wanted to celebrate my 18th birthday. I never expected to wake up feeling sore, marked, and already starting to feel strange.
That guy turned out to be Lucas Kane—star forward, campus heartthrob, and secretly a werewolf alpha-in-training. He broke every pack law by biting a human. Now I'm transforming quickly, and he's the only one who can keep me alive during this transition.
But I'm not just changing. I'm pregnant—with a wolf shifter's child. I want none of this. I have enough on my plate: college, anxiety, and trying to pretend I'm not falling for the brooding jerk who ruined my normal . Lucas is doing his best to stay away, but our bond is growing stronger, and the full moon is approaching.
Worst of all? The pack doesn’t want a human mate, and they definitely don’t want me.

The second we got into her car, I blurted out the first word that came to my head. "Pharmacy. Now."When we pulled up outside the little twenty-four-hour pharmacy, she gave me a worried look, but I ignored it and pushed the door open before she could say anything.I grabbed a basket when I got inside and went straight for the aisle I needed. I grabbed pregnancy tests, different brands, different sizes. If one was wrong, the others couldn't all be, right?"Allie, are you okay?" I glanced sideways to see Jess hovering beside me. "Yes." "Are you sure?" She tried again."I said I'm fine." I snapped at her."I know you're not. Don't lie to me."I frowned. "What do you want me to say, huh? Yay, pregnancy. Yay, werewolf. Yay, mate.

I'll text you the location of the hospital. She fainted," I said and I could hear Drew gasping."What? Fainted? Is she okay?" His voice was even more panicked now."Yes. The human doctor here is a quack. He says he thinks she was in shock. It's infuriating. He's not supposed to think, Drew. He's supposed to know what's wrong with Allie." I breathed out a little and lowered my voice so I wouldn't wake Allie up. The sterile smell of the hospital was starting to get to me."She doesn't need a doctor. She needs a healer." "You think I don't know?" I frowned. Of course, I knew. "Dude, you should get her to a healer. Or get a healer to her. I'm at the packhous

Chapter: Chapter || 7Chapter 007Lucas' POVAllison Foster would be the death of me. Up until now, I didn't know she was diabetic and asthmatic. At least I brought her to a real hospital, where the doctors would check her and convince me she'd be alright. She lay on the bed, looking frail as fuck, with an unsteady heartbeat that I couldn't place. The urge to protect Allison had risen to the extent that I wanted to be with her. To implant myself into her life and make her realise she was stuck with me. It didn't matter if she wanted me or not, she was mine. My mate.My little wolf.The reason why waking up and training didn't seem like a chore to me anymore. Why? I had to be stronger than I was.

So I found wolfsbane among the flowers my mum planted. Here's what we'll do."

Yikes. Pale skin, chapped lips and hair that resembled a bird's nest. Dark circles carved shadows under my eyes. Night after night, the same nightmare haunted me. The one where I would magically be among a group of creatures under the full moon and they'd attack me, calling me names like tainted blood. I always wake up drenched in my own sweat and panting. Last night had been no different. B

I hoped he'd explain more of it to me and not stare weirdly at me. "Transition," he said again. Alright, this was weird. Jess was now leaning against the wall and watching in silence. Would Lucas go ahead and say what he meant by transition? His eyes were locked on mine and if I weren't freaking out... I'd be flattered that I was beside Lucas. "Transition. It means you're becoming a werewolf." A laugh escaped my lips, more out of disbelief than humour. I sat up and drew my knees close to my body. "You know... this is beyond insane. You've lost your mind, Lucas. Werewolves... they don't exist." Lucas's jaw tightened, but he was still holding my gaze. "Yes, they do. Allie... look at me."

Since I'd been basically sentenced to bed rest for the entire week, all I could do was lie here and replay that night over and over until my brain felt like mush. The only person who’d been with me through the whole ordeal was Jess, who, after hearing me out, decided I was absolutely losing it. "He bit you? Maybe... maybe the sex was so good that he couldn't control the urge to bite you. I mean... have you read Married To The Devil's Son? When did Lucian bit Hazel? It was super hot..."
