Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE RILEYThe whole apartment turned into a zoo in like two seconds flat. Damien was yelling about lawyers and trespassing and calling it assault, while waving his phone around like he was gonna call the cops right there. Guests were whispering and filming and some lady actually started live-streaming. Knox was still holding Harley and Hunter like he was never gonna let go, water dripping off him, fangs half out, looking like he was two seconds from murdering somebody. The twins were confused and crying because Mommy and Daddy were screaming and they didn’t understand why.I was losing my mind.“Put my kids down right now Knox!” I screamed, trying to grab Harley but she just hugged his neck tighter and wailed, “No Mommy I wanna stay with Daddy!”Hunter started crying too, fat tears rolling down his cheeks. “Mommy stop yelling at Daddy!”That hit me like a truck. My babies were crying because of me. Because of us. Again.Damien kept going off. “Security!Somebody call security! This man br

Chapter: CHAPTER FOURKNOXI was still standing there like a complete moron, dripping water all over Riley’s hallway floor, heart banging so loud I swear the neighbors could hear it, when the bedroom door at the end of the hall flew open like someone kicked it. Two tiny kids came running out full speed, socks sliding on the wood, almost face-planting but catching themselves at the last second.“Mommy there’s a huge man!” the boy—Hunter—yelled, eyes huge.The girl—Harley— got to me first, slamming straight into my legs and hugging my knee like it was a tree. “You smell like motorcycles and cookies and rain!” she said all in one breath, face squished against my wet jeans.Hunter skidded up right after and wrapped his arms around my other leg, sniffing super loud. “He smells like the big wolf from my dreams Mommy! Like a really really big wolf!”I swear my brain just stopped. Like someone hit pause. All I could do was look down at these two little humans who had my black hair and Riley’s freckles and my exact

Chapter: CHAPTER THREEKNOXOur eyes met, and the desire that I had convinced myself for the past five years that it wasn't there any more, suddenly surged in. Her mouth hung open, tears on the brim of rolling down her eyes.She tried closing the door, but I was faster and used my powers to rush in before she was able to, shutting the door behind it. It let out a loud thud.I stepped towards her, each step getting heavier with each stroke. It was just a little distance separating us, but it felt like we were unable to escape this wavering desire.I almost reached her. Almost touched her. Almost did the things that I had been desperately holding back for the past five fucking years.When her voice suddenly erupted.“No!” She yelled, her voice echoing through the halls. “Don't cross that line. Don't you dare cross that fucking line.”Her voice had so much anger. Hurt and despair.Her face held such cold disdain, that ripped my heart up each time I looked into her eyes. We said nothing, just let the silence fi

Chapter: CHAPTER TWORILEY*FIVE YEARS LATER* I stared at the new masterpiece I had just finished working on, unable to take my eyes off it and continued grinning from ear to ear. It had taken me just an hour to lain the wolf claw marks onto the Harley engine, but each minute was worth it.Then a familiar memory hits me. This looked like the wolf claw marks that Knox had drawn on my Harley back in high-school when we had newly begun dating.Deja vu.I wavered off the thoughts, reminding myself that there was no need to think about it. It's been five years and I've started a new life. After that day, I ran away to start a new life in Seattle and when it seemed like everything came crashing down, I found out I was pregnant.I wanted nothing more but to be with knox at that moment, but the rejection still stung. He was hard to forget anyways—the mark hunted me day and night. But, it was because of my children I was able to pull through. They were the only ones that made life worth living after Knox betrayed

Chapter: CHAPTER ONERILEYMy smile widened with each anticipating moment. Today was the day I would tie the knot with my childhood sweetheart—Knox. Despite all odds against us, we fought through and our love only became stronger. I was looking forward to spending the rest of my life with him.The Blackthorn estate. That's where we held our wedding—and I was amazed to see that his father agreed to our union. I wasn't born with a wolf and have been cast aside for so many years. But it was different with Knox. He had never looked down on me.Staring at him, those gorgeous silver eyes piercing into mine—I feel happier than ever. He stood gorgeous, in his black tuxedo, his eyes locked on mine like I was the only person in this world.But I couldn't help but notice his eyes held something different—I couldn't explain it. But it wasn't those exciting eyes I had been relishing all these while. My kind scattered, fear of him getting cold feet.But he was here. That's all that matters.The priest's voice disrupted
