Chapter: Chapter 153AlexI blinked a few times and tried to sit up on the couch. My head hurt bad like someone smacked it. The lights in the back room at the station were too bright. A cop stood near the door looking at some papers in his hands. I felt dizzy and confused.“You okay there kid?” the cop asked me.I did not get a chance to say much. The door opened and Jax came in quickly . He looked mad and worried at the same time. His shoulders were stiff. The cop gave him a nod because they knew him from all the other times stuff went wrong around me.Jax crossed his arms and leaned on the wall. He stared right at me. “They called me. Said you passed out right in the lobby. What the hell happened Alex?”I rubbed my face with my hands. Everything from the night with Damien and his dad and the gun and now Knox came rushing back into my head. It made my stomach feel sick.“I went there to talk to Knox,” I told him. My voice sounded rough and tired. “But he is gone. He escaped. Took his daughter and just le

Chapter: Chapter 152Alex Rival political families? A hidden affair from way back? Or maybe Damien’s dad had covered up something bad involving my parents years ago and now it was all coming back around.It started clicking in my brain piece by piece while I stood there getting dressed. I could not just sit here and try to get over it. This felt bigger than just me and Damien fighting. I needed real answers and Knox was the only one who might have them. He had mentioned an enemy before in our talks. What if that enemy was Damien’s family the whole time? What if this whole mess tied back to something Knox knew about?I grabbed my jacket and keys fast. My hands were still shaking a little but I kept moving anyway. Jax was nowhere in sight and I did not have time right now to hunt him down and fix things between us. That would have to wait. I headed out the door and got in his car. The drive to the station felt longer than usual because my mind would not slow down even a little. I kept thinking about all

Chapter: Chapter 151AlexI stood there in the doorway still wearing Jax’s oversized clothes. The shirt hung loose on my shoulders and kept sliding around. The pants were too big and I had to keep pulling them up so they would not fall down my legs. Damien’s car had already disappeared down the street but my heart kept pounding hard like it wanted to jump out of my chest. Everything from the night before felt stuck to me. The mess from the sex. The yelling. The gunshot. All of it.Jax stepped closer and put a hand on my arm gently like he was trying not to scare me. “Alex come on. Breathe okay. He’s gone now. We can figure this shit out together. Just take a second.”I yanked my arm away so hard I almost tripped over those stupid loose pants. “Figure it out? That is rich coming from you Jax. Damien always does this to me. He pulls me in close like I am the only person in the world who matters and then he spits out some crap about depression or how he used to be straight or whatever excuse makes him feel

Chapter: Chapter 150Alex I heard the knocking on the door get louder and louder and my heart started pounding hard in my chest because I knew this was bad news after everything that had just happened between me and Damien. I was still sitting there on the bed feeling the mess from the sex dripping down my legs and Damien froze right next to me with his eyes wide. “Alex quick put these on as fast as you can” Damien said, pushing his jacket and shirt into my hands and I grabbed them fast even though my body ached everywhere. I pulled the shirt over my head and it felt rough against my sore nipples but I did not complain out loud. “This is really stupid Damien you know that right” I told him while I stepped into the pants that were way too loose on me. He picked up the gun from the nightstand and held it tight in his hand. “I know it’s stupid” he said with his voice cracking a bit “but I just can’t leave without you Alex I love you so much please understand that.” I sighed and shook my head because it

Chapter: Chapter 149Damien I grabbed Alex tighter and kept my fingers deep inside him. He felt so warm and wet from what he did with Jax earlier. His body shook against mine. I did not want to let go. Not now. Not ever.Jax came over fast. His face looked mad as hell. “Get the fuck off him right now!” he yelled. He grabbed my shoulder hard and tried to yank me back. His fingers dug in like he wanted to pull me away for good.I stayed right there. I looked him straight in the eyes and pushed my fingers deeper into Alex. Alex gasped loud right away. “He was yours a few minutes ago,” I said slow and cold. “Now he is remembering who he really belongs to.”Alex tried to push at my chest with his weak hands. “Damien… stop this,” he said. His voice sounded shaky. But his hips moved forward anyway like they had a mind of their own. A moan came out of him after. Shame made his cheeks go all red. His eyes looked wet and scared but his hole kept squeezing my fingers tight. He wanted it even if his mouth said no.J

Chapter: Chapter 148DamienI sat alone in my big house. The room was dark. My mind would not stop thinking about Alex. He had been avoiding me for many days. When I walked into a room, he looked away. When I called his name, he left fast. I knew he still doubted me. He thought I was dangerous. He thought I might hurt him or the people close to him. That idea made my chest feel heavy and angry at the same time. I loved him. I really did. Why could he not see it?I stood up from my chair. I got dressed quickly. I put on a black shirt and black pants. I pulled on my boots. I grabbed my jacket from the hook. I was ready to leave. I could not stay in this house one more minute. I needed to find Alex. I needed to talk to him and make him understand.I opened the door and walked down the long hall. My dad was waiting there. He saw me and his face turned red with anger. He stepped right in front of me and blocked my way.“Where do you think you are going?” he asked in a loud voice.“I have to go find Alex,” I s

Chapter: Chapter 116Chapter 116 Aiden My hands were sweaty on the coffee cup and my heart would not slow down. I kept watching his face for any sign that he might say yes. Part of me already felt stupid for asking because what if he thought I was pushing too hard or getting too attached. I wished I could take them back but it was too late. Chris froze for a second. Then he shook his head slowly and rubbed the back of his neck like he always did when something bothered him.“We can’t Aiden,” he said. “The caretaker might come back any moment. My parents pop in all the time without warning. It is not safe to stay here longer.”I blinked hard and felt my stomach drop. I had hoped he would agree at least for a little while. Instead everything felt heavy. “Wait what? You are being serious right now Chris? After everything last night you are telling me no?”He would not look me in the eyes at first. I studied every little movement in his jaw and the way his shoulders tensed up. It looked like guilt or mayb

Chapter: Chapter 115Chapter 115 Chris I woke up around four in the morning but my arm was still over Aiden and the room stayed quiet except for his slow breathing. I felt restless so I needed some air and a cigarette especially because I could not smoke back at school. I slipped out of bed slowly and made sure not to wake him then I pulled on some sweats and a hoodie before I grabbed my pack of cigarettes from the bag.I lit the cigarette and took a long drag while the smoke burned nice in my lungs. I leaned against the wall and stared out at nothing because my mind would not stop. I thought about the two sides of me and how there was the guy everyone saw at school who kept things running but then there was the other part that needed to own every piece of Aiden. I wanted all of him because the way he looked at me and the way he shook when I touched him fed something deep in me so I needed more of it every single day.I had taken care of things behind the scenes and the murder investigation would not

Chapter: Chapter 114Chapter 114 Aiden Chris leaned back against the headboard. His eyes looked dark and hungry. He stroked my hair with one big hand. I was still shaky from the two orgasms. My body felt warm and weak, but I wanted to make him feel good too.“Use your mouth first,” he said in a low voice. “Slowly . I want to feel how grateful you are.”I nodded and moved down between his legs. My hands shook a little as I touched him. He was already hard. I wrapped my fingers around him and stroked slowly. Then I leaned in and took him into my mouth. He tasted warm and familiar. I moved my head up and down in a slow rhythm.Chris let out a deep breath. His hand stayed in my hair. He did not pull hard, but he guided me gently. “That’s it,” he said softly. “Good boy.”The words made heat rush through me. I loved when he called me that. But at the same time, my mind went back to the doubts. I tried to focus. I used my tongue on the tip and sucked a little harder. My other hand moved up and down the part I

Chapter: Chapter 113Chapter 113 “Do you still have the vibrator?”Chris went still against my back for a moment. Then a low laugh rumbled deep in his chest. He sounded surprised at first, but pleased in that way that always sent heat through me. He rolled me onto my back with gentle hands, staying careful around the bruises on my hips. His eyes met mine in the dim light from the bedside lamp. That dark, amused expression settled on his face as he looked down at me.“You really want it tonight?” he asked, his voice low and rough. He brushed my hair back from my forehead with one hand. “Say it out loud, Aiden. Tell me exactly what you want me to do with it.”My face grew hot with embarrassment. I hated how easily he could make me feel so exposed, more vulnerable than simply being naked. But the patient and hungry way he watched me made my stomach tighten with need.“I want you to use the vibrator on me,” I said quietly. “Gently, like you promised.”Chris smiled a little wider. “Good boy.” He leaned down

Chapter: Chapter 112Chapter 112 Aiden I gripped his shoulder my fingers digging in. “That feels….”His hand moved lower fingers tracing the waistband of my pants before sliding inside. He wrapped his hand around me stroking slowly and easily. I moaned low and pushed into his touch. Chris kept his mouth on my chest switching between sucking and kissing while his fingers worked me steady. He focused right on the spots that made my legs shake.He pulled his mouth off for a second. “Tell me if anything hurts okay? We stop if you need.”“It does not hurt,” I said quickly, my voice rough. “It just feels good. Too good maybe.”He kissed me on the mouth again deep and hungry while his fingers kept moving. One finger pressed lower circling before sliding inside me carefully. I gasped against his lips and he swallowed the sound. He worked me open slowly with that one finger then added another matching the rhythm of his other hand on me.“Chris, wait no not too fast,” I said, breaking the kiss for air but pushi

Chapter: Chapter 111Chapter 111Aiden I kept my eyes shut tight when I heard Chris come back into the bedroom. My breathing stayed even like I was still out cold. He moved around quietly for a second then the bed dipped a little on his side. His fingers brushed the hair off my forehead real soft and he pulled the covers up higher over my shoulder. That simple touch made my stomach twist hard. The same guy who just got done telling someone to clean up loose ends like it was nothing acted like he cared this much. It did not add up and it pissed me off how much I wanted it to.He stayed there a minute longer then got up and left the room again. I waited until I could not hear his footsteps anymore before I sat up fast. My heart pounded as I grabbed my phone from the nightstand. I needed to look up anything about those construction workers, was it the same ones who assaulted me, was there more I needed to know?My fingers shook while I typed in but the screen locked up after the first try. Wrong password.

Chapter: Chapter 51Rowan I burst through the main gates with Areum limp in my arms, his head lolling against my shoulder like dead weight, skin clammy and way too pale, every shallow breath he took hitting me like a punch because fuck, he looked half-gone already, that void-pain thing eating him from the inside even while he was out cold. The compound was buzzing, pack members clustered everywhere some on the steps, some spilling out from the mess hall, all staring, whispers flying fast and ugly the second they saw us. "Rowan actually did it, raided the bastards?" "Heard the Luna took the curse hit, idiot hero move." "Who's the girl? And that smug fucker trailing her like he owns the place?" I didn't stop, just barked over my shoulder at the nearest betas, "Clear the infirmary room now! Get the doc here, he's crashing hard!" One of them jumped, scrambling, "On it, alpha!" but the murmurs kept coming, louder, angrier, "We lost three good ones out there for what? A fake Luna and her babysitter?" "Yeah,

Chapter: Chapter 50~Rowan~We sat there in that stuffy room for what felt like forever after he dropped his bomb about using Elara as a stand-in, me, Jace, Niki, and him hashing out the details like we were planning a heist instead of trying to save our asses from a pack meltdown, and yeah, it was tense, everyone throwing ideas back and forth, Jace cracking stupid jokes to lighten the mood but nobody really laughing because this was serious shit, life-or-death serious, and I kept glancing at Areum, his face all determined but eyes showing that flicker of hurt like he hated the idea of hiding but knew it was the only play."Alright, so Elara it is," Jace said finally, rubbing his hands together like he was excited, "but how do we get her without starting a full-blown war with her dad's pack? Because that's exactly what we don't want, right, more enemies?" I nodded, leaning back, arms crossed, "Yeah, but think about it, a mini war with them is better than civil war here, at least it's external, we can con

Chapter: Chapter 49AreumI sat on the edge of the bed with my hands locked together so tight my fingers hurt, staring at absolutely nothing, thinking about everything at the same time, which was my least favorite mental activity because it always ended with either a headache or me saying something unhinged out loud and Rowan giving me that look like he loved me but was also preparing for chaos.Rowan kept pacing. He paced like a man whose world was one bad sentence away from exploding, boots hitting the floor too hard, turning too sharp, muttering under his breath like the walls personally offended him.“Stop pacing,” I said.“I can’t,” he snapped.“You’re going to wear a hole in the floor.”“I’ll replace the floor.”“That’s not the point.”He stopped suddenly and looked at me, eyes sharp, jaw tight, and for a second the room felt too small for the amount of tension sitting between us.“They know,” he said.“There won’t be an issue if the Elder does not open his mouth.”I exhaled through my nose, lean

Chapter: Chapter 48Areum's POVI was curled up in the corner of the hall, knees to my chest, because being me meant that every five minutes the universe decided it was hilarious to put me in a position where I could either scream or pass out, and honestly, both sounded equally appealing right now. My chest was tight, my breaths coming too fast and too short, and I could feel Rowan right there beside me, his presence like a damn steel wall I wanted to cling to but also punch because panic doesn’t care about logic.The guard, yes, that idiot, the one who had eyes like a squirrel on meth and clearly no concept of personal boundaries was back, and I swear I could feel his smug grin all the way from here. He looked like he had just realized he might have actually screwed up, and I was supposed to find sympathy for him? Nope. Not today. Not ever.“Areum,” Rowan’s voice cut through the chaos, low and rough and terrifyingly calm, and I swear I almost lunged at him like a lifeline. “Look at me.”I tried. I real

Chapter: Chapter 47~Areum~“Good.”“You sure?”I twisted my head, glared at him over my shoulder even though tears were running down my face now not sad tears, just overload. “If you stop I will literally murder you. Keep going.”He stared at me another second really looked. Then something shifted in his expression. Not softer. Hungrier. Like he finally understood.“Okay,” he said quietly. “Okay.”The next hit wasn’t with his hand.He doubled the belt over in his fist, snapped it once against his own palm like he was testing. The crack made me flinch.Then he brought it down across my ass.I screamed full-throated, broken. Fire streaked across skin. My whole body locked up, then shuddered hard.“Again,” I choked out.He did. Twice more. Each one landing exactly where the last one had so the pain stacked. I was shaking now, ass on fire, wrists throbbing, cock so hard it hurt worse than the belt.Rowan dropped to his knees behind me suddenly, mouth on the welts hot, wet, soothing. Licking over the marks

Chapter: Chapter 46~Areum~The knot finally went down enough that I could peel myself off Rowan without feeling like my guts were being yanked out backward, but the second I tried to roll away, another cramp hit like someone kicked me square in the lower belly. Not the slow build this time straight-up vicious, made my vision tunnel and my thighs clamp together so hard I nearly crushed his dick still half-inside me.“Fuck fuck fuck,” I hissed through my teeth, curling forward until my forehead smacked his collarbone. “Not done. Not even close. Why is this heat trying to murder me today?”Rowan’s arms came around me instantly, big hands sliding up my back like he could hold the cramps in place with sheer willpower. “Breathe, Luna. I got you.” His voice was wrecked, hoarse from all the begging and groaning, but still stupidly gentle. It pissed me off how much I liked it.“Don’t ‘Luna’ me right now,” I snapped, shoving at his chest even though I didn’t actually want him to let go. “I’m not in the mood for
