Chapter: Chapter 15Nicole's POV The sound of my alarm yanks me from sleep, sunlight spilling through the curtains and flooding my room.I reach for my phone, ready to silence the alarm, covering my mouth with my other hand as I yawn.“Fuck,” I yell. It’s 8:53 a.m., and my morning session with Alex starts at nine.I throw the blanket off and jump out of bed, rushing toward the bathroom. My heart pounds as I splash cold water on my face, hoping it’ll wake me faster.But then, as I grab my toothbrush, everything that happened yesterday comes flooding back.His voice. His eyes. The way he looked at me when he asked, “Nicole Williams… will you be my girlfriend?”I freeze, staring at my reflection in the mirror. My heart beats faster.Did that really happen… or was it just a dream?God, it was real. I was only teasing him about calling me his woman—I didn’t actually expect him to say that.The moment keeps replaying in my head, heat rising to my cheeks every time I think about it. I remember taking a step ba

Chapter: Chapter 14Alex's POV I press the intercom again, my voice rises. “Clara, gather David and Megan in the living room. Immediately.” “Yes, sir.” Nicole stands abruptly, her eyes red from crying. Her hands curl into fists as she slowly steps toward me. She stops across from me, the desk standing between us like a barrier. Her palms press softly against the wood as morning light spills through the window, illuminating her face and making her look even more breathtaking. She struggles to meet my eyes, her voice barely audible. “Alex, please… you don’t have to do this.” The words leave her lips like a whisper. “No, I have to do this, Nicole. If I don’t, it’ll keep happening. And I won’t let anyone disrespect you, ever. Not under my roof.” She removes her hands from the table and folds her arms across her chest. “I don’t want to come between you and your siblings,” she says softly. I wheel myself toward her until I’m directly in front of her. Our eyes meet for a moment, but she quickly

Chapter: Chapter 13Nicole's POV The heavy door creaks open as I push it, letting out a sound that echoes softly into the quiet library. I see Alex. He’s sitting in a chair at his desk, his wheelchair beside him for easy access. He's putting on glasses as he works on some paperwork. I clear my throat to make my presence known and he slowly looks up at me. The glasses rest low on the bridge of his nose, framing his sharp features in a way that somehow makes him look even more irresistible.“To what do I owe the pleasure?” he says, resting his elbows on the table, fingers laced together as he lowers his chin onto them, his eyes never leaving mine.“H–hmmm.” I clear my throat.“We need to talk.” My voice is shaky.“Are you here to tell me how much you love me?” his lips curve into a teasing smirk. “I quit,” I whisper, clutching the hem of my shirt, my eyes glued on the floor.“You what?”I slowly lift my head, meeting his gaze. His eyes widen, as confusion flashes across his face. For a moment, he just s

Chapter: Chapter 12Nicole's POVThe sound of my phone buzzing wakes me up from my sleep. I hardly slept with everything that happened yesterday.My eyes feel heavy as I force myself to stay awake, I want to get up but the warmth of my bed keeps drawing me in.Who could be calling me this early in the morning? I stretch my hands towards the bedside stool, trying to reach for my phone. I manage to grab the phone and I take a glance at the screen— it's Mrs Henderson, my supervisor.The drowsiness in my eyes suddenly disappears as I see the name on my phone's screen. I jump out of bed quickly, still in the white T-shirt and blue underwear I wore last night as I stare at the phone in my hands.I run my hands through my already messy hair, contemplating if I should pick up the call as different scenarios run through my mind.“Could it be because of what happened yesterday?” I murmur to myself.Finally, I swipe up, accepting the call. A harsh, unfriendly voice blasts through the speaker, sharp enough to make m

Chapter: Chapter 11Nicole’s POVMy cheek still stings from the slap, my hand pressed firmly against it. I remain still trying to process everything, as tears roll down my cheek blurring my vision.God, the only reason why my hand is not on her face is because I'm here as Alex's nurse. Is this how it's going to be? Always looking over my shoulder. I want to talk back but Megan is always walking away.Suddenly, a voice slices through the air behind me.“What the hell is going on here?”My heart races fast as I turn around. It’s David.I turn back around quickly, I don't want him to see me this way like a little girl that needs saving. Megan, who is almost halfway across the stairs, stops abruptly.He finally reaches me, his hands locking around my arms—not too tight, but firm enough to keep me in place.He smells faintly of leather and cedarwood, a warm, steady scent that clings to him. His bright blue eyes are fixated on me as he moves closer to me.“Are you okay, Nicole?” I remain silent, too stunned

Chapter: Chapter 10Nicole’s POVThe morning light seeps through the curtains, brushing over my face and pulling me out of sleep. For a moment, I remain on my bed, eyes closed, smiling. But it's not the warmth of my bed that makes me smile… it’s the memory of last night.My lips tingle as if his kiss is still there. I run my thumb across my lips, imagining it like it is still happening. I promised myself I won't be involved with him, and yet, when his mouth found mine, every wall I had built crumbled.I should feel guilty. I should feel terrified. But right now? I just feel… happy. My body can’t decide whether to float or collapse into the sheets.I sink my face into the pillow, screaming at the top of my lungs. I just broke one of the 4Ps. I'm screwed if my supervisor finds out.I roll back onto my side, staring at the ceiling, and whisper to myself, “What are you doing, Nicole?” Because I don’t know. I don’t know what comes next.A knock at the door breaks through my thoughts. I sit up quickly, adjusti

Too Curvy For The Crown
I had two rules: keep my head down and never want what I couldn't have.
I broke both the night I was sent to serve at the Alpha King's mating tournament.
I wasn't a guest or a candidate. I was the fat omega carrying trays, told to stay invisible. Then a predator cornered me, forced something down my throat, and when I ran, I crashed into Alaric Thorne, the Lycan Alpha King.
His drink had been drugged. My body was burning. When the mate bond snapped into place, neither of us could resist.
By morning, he looked at my body, my rank, and told me to leave.
He claimed me anyway, not out of love, but because abandoning his fated mate would disgrace the crown. He gave me a title and a room. Vivienne, the woman he truly loved, got everything else.
For over a year, I was his mate in name, summoned only when the royal physicians said I was ready to breed. Then I found Vivienne in his arms, pregnant with his child.
He rejected me that night, shattering our bond. He carried her away and left me screaming on the floor.
He never knew I was pregnant too.
I disappeared, changed everything about myself, and raised my son alone.
Five years later, I returned on the arm of Alaric's cousin, the man who wanted his throne. I was his fiancée now, stronger than the woman he'd discarded.
Then Alaric saw the little boy beside me.
A boy with his gray eyes.
I didn't come back for Alaric Thorne.
But he's not letting me leave again.

Chapter: Chapter 46Freya I pulled Ezra away from the bleachers with my hand wrapped tight around his, walking fast enough that he had to jog a little to keep up, and I didn't say anything until we were far enough from the crowd that no one could hear us."Ezra, listen to me," I said, crouching down to his level. "You can't talk to strangers like that. You don't know that man.""He's not a stranger," Ezra said, frowning at me like I had said something ridiculous. "He's your friend. I've seen him before, remember, at the mall and at the apartment. He's cool. I like him. He's like Uncle Ronan."I felt my chest go tight, but I kept my face soft, because the last thing I wanted was for him to think he had done something wrong. He hadn't. He was just a child who liked talking to people, who didn't know what any of it meant."Okay," I said, brushing his hair back. "Just be more careful next time, alright? Come find me first.""Okay, Mommy," he said, already bored of the conversation, his eyes back on the fiel

Chapter: Chapter 45AlaricA week after the incident at the lobby, I sat behind my desk with the phone against my ear, and on the other end King Bastian Moor of the Moonshade Pack cleared his throat before he spoke again."I heard what my daughter did," Bastian said. "Outside an apartment building, with guards, against a woman and her child. That is not how I raised her and it is not how this alliance is meant to look.""Then you understand my problem," I said. "Because right now your daughter is walking around my territory like she owns it and using your name to back her up.""She does not have my blessing to do any of that," Bastian said, and there was real irritation in his voice now. "I will speak to her myself and I will speak to her hard. If she puts a hand on that woman again, or on the boy, I will pull her out of Blackmoor myself and there will be no alliance left to discuss. I am not going to lose standing with the council over my daughter's temper."I felt myself relax a little. "See that you d

Chapter: Chapter 44AlaricI drove back to the office with Isabella sitting stiff in the back seat, arms crossed, refusing to look at me, and I let the silence sit between us because I needed the drive to think instead of argue."She provoked me," Isabella finally said, breaking the quiet before we even reached the gate. "You saw how she talks to people. I'm not the only one at fault here."I didn't answer her, my mind stuck on a question that mattered far more than whatever excuse she was building for herself.How did she know where Freya lived.Ronan had spent months keeping Isabella far away from Freya and Ezra, careful about every detail, every name, every scrap of information that could lead anyone from Moonshade to that apartment, and he would never have handed that address to the one person he was actively trying to shield them from.Which meant someone else gave it to her.By the time we reached my office, Isabella had switched from defensive to sulking, dropping into the chair across from my des

Chapter: Chapter 43FreyaThe entire lobby goes silent under the weight of his voice, so silent I can hear my own pulse pounding in my ears, and the two men holding me let go so fast I nearly stumble forward, catching myself against the edge of the front desk."Release her," Alaric says, and it isn't a request, it's an order that vibrates through the marble under my feet, and the guards step back immediately, hands raised like they're trying to prove they're no longer a threat.Isabella scrambles up off the floor, cradling her wrist, her face twisted with pain and fury in equal measure. "You broke my wrist.""I'll break more than that if you touch her again." Alaric turns on her fully now, his whole body radiating a kind of controlled rage I've never seen directed at anyone but Vivienne. "What the hell gives you the right to bring armed pack members into Blackmoor territory and attack a woman and terrify a child over a handbag.""She attacked me first," Isabella spits, pointing a shaking finger at me. "A

Chapter: Chapter 42Freya I stop dead in the middle of the lobby, Ezra's hand gripped tight in mine, and pull him half behind me before I even fully register what I'm doing."Can I help you?" I ask, keeping my voice level even though every instinct in my body is screaming at me to turn around and get my son out of this building.Neither man answers. They just stand there, arms crossed, filling the space in front of the elevators like a wall of muscle stuffed into expensive suits refusing to let us pass through, and my mind races through everything I know about Moonshade, about Isabella's father, about the alliance Alaric is supposedly forcing on Ronan and wonder why they are here."This is King Alaric's territory," I say, louder this time, loud enough that a couple crossing the lobby toward the mailboxes stop and turn to stare. "Are you telling me Moonshade is declaring war on Blackmoor by threatening private citizens on his own soil?"Still nothing. My heart is hammering hard enough that I can feel it

Chapter: Chapter 41Freya "Maybe not," he says, "but I'm going to find out anyway, one way or another."I stare at him, at the way he's standing there like the answer is owed to him just because he wants it, like five years of silence never happened, like he didn't leave me unconscious on the floor and walk right past me without looking back."You won't," I say. "Because there's nothing for you to find. My son is mine, and what I call him, who he calls daddy, none of that has anything to do with you.""He asked permission, Freya. A child doesn't ask permission to use a word he's grown up saying, and that tells me he doesn't have a stable father figure in his life, which is exactly the kind of thing I'd expect from my cousin.""It tells you nothing. You don't know him, and you don't know me anymore either, whatever you think you remember.""I remember enough.""You remember a version of me that doesn't exist anymore." My voice comes out harder than I mean it to, but I don't take it back. "The woman you r
