Chapter: You Still Let Him InImani POVI sit in the kitchen with Canon, having him try dishes for the new menu.“I miss coming over to your house,” he says.I smile. “I missed you too, Canon,” I reply.Canon has always been my favorite of the four brothers. He’s the youngest at 19, and he used to follow me around everywhere when I first met him.“You not leaving again, right?” he asks.I shrug my shoulders. “I don’t plan on it,” I say. Even saying that feels heavier than it should, like something is already waiting to test it.“How long are you staying?” I ask.He frowns. “Trying to get rid of me already?” he asks.I laugh at him and swat his arm. “No silly, I just want to know if I need to make enough food for you too,” I reply.“Oh yeah, I’m staying. May I?” he asks, pointing to my weed tray.“Please,” I say.My phone vibrates on the counter. The sound cuts through the room sharper than it should, pulling my attention instantly.Unknown Number: I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since you left. How’

Chapter: Something Isn't RightZion POV I sit unwavering in my office at the clubhouse, sensing that something is completely off. It’s not loud. Not obvious. Just a feeling sitting in my chest that won’t move. I haven’t heard a word from King or Ghost all morning. Imani’s interview happened earlier, and there’s still no update. She refused my car and ignored my texts. Ignored me. I tap my fingers sharply on my desk. Once. Twice. Then faster. The sound cutting through the room.Nasir is on the couch, running numbers.“Did you get that footage of the area around the warehouse?” I demand.He shakes his head. “I’m working on it. I need a day,” he responds.I nod slowly. Too slowly. Letting that answer sit longer than it should.“Have you heard from King today?” I press.“Not since I left the house this morning. He was on his way to the Bronx,” he replies.My jaw tightens. That doesn’t sit right. Not with him. Not today.This isn’t like him.I pick up my phone and check her messages—she hasn’t responded. Screen still b

Chapter: Before It Reaches HimKing POV Today’s already a bad day, and it’s only 10am. I’ve got a full rundown of everything that was taken. I’m annoyed I even have to tell him. I’m sitting in one of the houses my brother and I share with my little brother, Canon. The place is quiet, but not peaceful—too much sitting under the surface. “Have you seen Imani yet, King?” Canon asks. My jaw tightens before I reply. Just a second too long. “For a minute, why?” I ask. “I missed her. I wanted to go see her,” he says. “Then go,” I say, pulling my phone out of my pocket as it buzzes. Ghost. Of course it is. And if he’s calling me instead of Zion—this isn’t small. If he’s calling me, it’s about Imani, and he doesn’t want to tell Zion. “What happened?” I ask. “We might have a potential problem,” he says. “How bad?” I ask. “If Boss finds out, pretty bad,” he replies.

Chapter: Something That’s MineImani POV If I wanted to drive myself, I could have just said that. I didn’t even know he was sending a car. This man is crazy—how did I not see that when we were younger? He was always quiet, but he talked to me and was nice to me even as a teenager. Still, this is too much; he’s everywhere, and I just want to live my life Zion free. Even saying it sounds crazy. Because deep down, I already know—there is no Zion-free. I pull into the parking lot of the restaurant where my interview is. I put the car in park, rest my hands on the steering wheel, and take a deep breath. In. Hold. Out. Again. My fingers tighten slightly against the wheel before I force them to relax. I try to forget everything with Zion since I landed yesterday. Just for this moment. Just long enough to get through this. I get out of the car and walk inside. The door closes behind me with a soft click that feels louder than it should. When I step in, the restaurant is already bustling. Everyone is movin

Chapter: He Sent A DriverImani POVMy alarm blares at 7 a.m., tearing me from a dreamless sleep, my body aching as if I’d been tense all night. Like I never really rested. Like some part of me stayed awake, waiting. The thought of him being in my room and I never heard him sends a shiver down my spine. How long had he been there? How long had he stood in my space while I had no idea? I rub my face, trying to shake the lingering memory, then swing my legs over the side of the bed. The floor is cold beneath my feet, grounding me for half a second before the unease settles right back in.Walking to the closet, I grab a pair of light gray slacks, a soft pink blouse, and my favorite pink heels. I lay the clothes on the bed and set the shoes on the floor before heading to the bathroom. While waiting for the water to heat, I brush my teeth. The bathroom is too quiet except for the rush of the faucet, and even that feels too loud this morning. As steam begins to fill the room, I peel off my pajamas and step into the

Chapter: He Was In My RoomImani’s POVI hesitate before moving as he steps away, like my body is stuck somewhere between where he was, and where I am now.Like if I move too fast, I’ll realize he didn’t really leave.How did he even get in here?The question doesn’t leave, it just sits there, heavy.My body is trembling, my heart pounding fiercely in my chest. Too fast. Too loud. Like it’s trying to catch up to something I don’t understand yet.Like it knows something I don’t.The spot on my wrist still burns from his touch, and I can almost feel his breath on my cheek, so close to me. I rub at it, but it doesn’t fade. It lingers.Heat that doesn’t belong to me.I pace back and forth in the kitchen, desperately trying to make sense of everything, but nothing is making sense. Every step feels uneven. Off.Just as Alani and Sky walk in.Alani’s eyes immediately land on me.Of course they do. I probably look like something is wrong.“Mani, you okay?” she asks softly.I shake my head, too quickly, my mind still ra

Fated to The Cursed Alpha Twins
For generations, every male born into the Black bloodline has shared the same fate:
Find their mate.
Love her.
Kill her.
The entire werewolf world knows the story of the cursed Alpha twins.
Vegas Black is obsessed with control. Every rule, every schedule, every decision is designed to prevent him from becoming the monster his father was.
Virgo Black is barely holding himself together. His wolf is violent, unpredictable, and responsible for the death of their first mate.
After burying the woman they were supposed to spend forever with, the twins made themselves a promise:
They would never love again.
Then they meet Kalani Taylor.
At eighteen, Kalani has spent her entire life proving she doesn't need anyone. She may not have shifted yet, but she's already the strongest warrior in Dark Falls Pack and determined to become a pack doctor.
So discovering she's mated to both cursed Alpha twins feels less like fate...
And more like a death sentence.
Forced to leave everything behind and move to Shadow Pack, Kalani quickly discovers the curse didn't just destroy the Black family.
It destroyed an entire pack.
Nobody gets too close.
Nobody questions the rules.
Nobody talks about the dead mate.
And nobody dares challenge the Alpha twins.
Until her.
The problem?
The more Vegas pushes her away, the more she wants to fight him.
The more Virgo tries to stay distant, the harder it becomes to resist her.
And for the first time in generations, the curse is reacting differently.
Because Kalani isn't just another mate.
She might be the one woman powerful enough to destroy the curse forever.
If the twins don't destroy her first.

Chapter: The Man Beneath The BruteKalani POVHe stares at me for a half a second and smirks.“Your joking right?” he asks looking down at his clothes.I eye him.“Lose the shirt and the shoes that will work” I say.Laughter spreads across the field.The sound immediately catches the attention of more warriors and before long people are drifting closer to see what is going on. Apparently watching their Alpha get volunteered for training is more entertaining than whatever they were doing before.“Kalani” he says.I cross my arms across my chest.“Come on Alpha we don’t have all day” I say and a few more laughs can be heard.A few warriors actually look nervous for me like they are waiting for him to remind everyone that he runs this pack. Instead he just stands there staring at me.He glares at me and I wink at him.Jaxon and Hayden standing behind him grinning amused by the whole scene.Neither one of them look interested in saving him from this situation. If anything they look excited to see how far I'm willing to pus

Chapter: How Much To Love YouKalani POVThe next morning I’m woken up to the sound of things crashing and breaking. For a second I'm disoriented, tangled in my blankets and still half asleep. Then another loud crash shakes the floor beneath me and my heart jumps into my throat.I jump out of the bed and run out of my room.I run down the stairs two at a time and in the living room fighting is Virgo and Vegas.A coffee table is flipped over. One of the lamps is shattered across the floor. The entire room looks like a tornado hit it.“This is why I told you to stay away from her” Vegas says.“It was an accident” Virgo screams.“Yeah so was Thea” Vegas says and Virgo tackles him into the wall.“Don't do that!” Virgo roars. “Don't use her against me.”The pain on his face catches me off guard. Not anger. Pain. Like Vegas just reached into an old wound and ripped it back open.“Every day I live with what happened to her,” Virgo says, shoving him again. “Every fucking day.”“And now Kalani has your handprint around her

Chapter: The Kiss and The BruiseKalani POVI stand there long after he leaves stuck.The image of Virgo's face right before he ran keeps replaying in my head. Not anger. Not aggression. Pure horror. Like seeing the bruise on my neck hurt him more than it hurt me.“Move Kalani” Astra says.I walk out of the movie room and down the hall back into the kitchen.The moment Adonis sees me he growls loud.“What the fuck did he do to you?” he says walking over inspecting my neck.“It’s fine Adonis” I say thinking about how I am going to fix this.Because that's all I can think about right now. Not the bruise. Not Havoc. Virgo.“Kalani you have his hand print around your fucking neck, it is not fine” He snarls.“He lost control, it’s not his fault and besides he is beating himself up enough and when Vegas comes home it’s going to be worse. Please just let it go. He didn’t hurt me” I say going to grab me a glass of wine out the fridge.Thank you Heather.For the first time in my life I understand why people drink after a stre

Chapter: Not AgainVirgo POVI hate that no matter how many years have passed, no matter what we did to make up for it. When people see us they see me killing Thea, they see death.It doesn't matter how many wolves we protect. It doesn't matter how many years go by without another incident. The second people hear our names they remember the worst day of our lives.When we get in the car Adonis looks at me.“You know she likes you the most” he says and my head snaps to him.“she told you that?”.He chuckles at my reaction.“Yes she told me that, she said this last week with you has been nice” he says.The stupid smile that tries to form on my face catches me off guard. Five years ago hearing something like that would've made me happy. Now it just terrifies me.“Thank you for sticking up for us back there” I say.He shakes his head.“We know what happened wasn’t you, we also know that you two are trying not to have that happen. I do believe your brother could handle it differently but I also never lost a

Chapter: You're Already Losing HerVegas POVFrom the moment we pulled away from the house Virgo has been smiling nonstop.“What are you so happy about?” I ask him not taking my eyes off the road.Normally Jaxon would drive but I need the control of driving to settle Echo.Ever since we left the pack he has been restless. He never likes putting distance between us and Kalani. The farther away we get from her, the stronger his unease becomes.“Kalani is just making it easier to forget” he says.I cut my eyes to him through the rearview mirror.“forget what?” I ask heart pounding.There is only one thing either of us has spent the last five years trying to forget.“Forget Thea, Vegas, forget what I did to her” he says looking at me.“You want to forget her?” I ask throat tightening as I ask.The idea makes something twist painfully in my chest. Forgetting feels wrong. Like we're killing her all over again.“No I just want to move on and let go of the guilt I have been carrying for five years” he snaps.“you don’t think I

Chapter: Forgetting To Be AfraidKalani POVAfter he walks out the kitchen I stand there for second trying to process exactly what just happened.One minute he was acting like I was a problem he needed to manage and the next he was practically threatening imaginary warriors over a date that didn't even exist. The man is exhausting. What's worse is that part of me understands exactly why he reacted the way he did and I don't know what to do with that.Jaxon clears his throat and my eyes cut to him.“He has been different since you’ve been here” he says.“different for who? The pack or for me?” I ask “because all I see is the same brute he’s been since I’ve met him” I continue.Maybe everyone else sees progress. Maybe they see a calmer Alpha. A happier Alpha. Someone slowly crawling out from under years of grief. If that's true, good for them. I'm still dealing with the version that thinks rules solve everything.“I’m sorry” he says and I glare at him.“I already told you don’t apologize for him he knows what he is doi
