His Best Friend's Daughter
“Make me stop, Kyra… please… because once I cross this line, I won’t come back. I’ve spent years fighting this, telling myself it’s wrong, but every time you look at me like that, I forget who I’m supposed to be. You were never meant to be mine… but I don’t think I can survive pretending you’re not.”
••••••••••

When Kyra becomes an adult, their undeniable connection ignites into something dangerous, passionate, and forbidden. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, love threatens to destroy everything they’ve built. With emotional depth, raw chemistry, and intense moral conflict, this story explores love that defies rules and time.
Will love be enough to survive judgment? Or will their past tear them apart forever?

Chapter: Chapter eighty one**Kyra POV**"Let's talk," he says when we return to the house, and he leads me to the couch after he takes the dog's leash off. I follow him with nervous anticipation and sit next to him, turning my body to face him. He rests his hand on my leg and stares at the floor for a moment before looking back at me."Today was nice," he says. "Like, beyond nice.""I think so, too."I can see him biting the inside of his cheek, something he does when he's nervous or mad, to stop himself from speaking before he's ready to."I don't know what to say," he finally admits quietly."Oh." I meant to just think of the word, but it seeped out of my mouth with its tonal mix of part disappointment, part surprise, and part sadness."I'm usually good with words, Kyra. But you make me a fuckin' mess.""I'm sorry.""Don't be sorry."He recedes back into his quiet mode, staring at the floor."Maybe I should go," I say softly.He grabs onto my hand. "No, don't go.""We don't have to talk, Tor. You don't owe me

Chapter: Chapter eighty**Kyra POV**"What?" he finally asks, standing. My beanie is on his head, only it's faded now from the sun beating down on him when he rides. Tufts of dark hair are sticking out from the sides of the hat, and he has a small smudge of grease right above his left eyebrow that I want to reach out and rub off. He looks a bit disheveled and tired, but he wears it well, and it adds to his rugged charm."Why are you looking at me like that?" he asks."I just didn't know you'd be like this," I answered softly. "Roses..."He moves closer to me and leans down to kiss my cheek. "Because now I'm your lover. Not your friend. Not your godfather. Not your dad’s best friend. Big difference."I blink at him, swaying, my heart racing. The word lover feels so... intimate. Powerful. Adults. Sexy.He's still close to me, our bodies almost touching but not, his lips just inches away, when he brushes my hair away from my face."I love you, Angel. But I won't baby you when you're in my house, and in my bed.

Chapter: Chapter seventy nine**Kyra POV**Kyra loves the park. Sometimes on the weekends when Ash and Elara want to get some alone time, I grab one of the dogs from my mom’s shelter and I take them both to the park to get some air and exercise.The autumn air is crisp as we walk through the park, and Kyra and the dog are both enjoying kicking up the leaves and hearing them crunch under their feet. A pretty girl around my age with short blonde hair is walking towards us with a small dog along the path that winds around the lake. As we approach each other, her dog starts to get all excited and runs to us, dragging the girl with her on a long leash.Laughing, I kneel down to pet the tan wiggling dog."I'm sorry," she says breathlessly. "She gets excited to see people and other dogs.""That's okay, at least she's friendly.""Your dog is much calmer. I think mine might need to go back to puppy class.""He's not mine. He's a rescue from the shelter, and he's about ten years old. I volunteer there so I take one out ever

Chapter: Chapter seventy eight**Tor POV**I sputter into my coffee. "What? Are you fucking kidding?"Laughing, she nods. "Yup. She's been really worried about you lately and thought you were hiding in the closet. I think she'll be glad to find out you're in love with a woman, even if it is Kyra. Mom likes her. She's all into the animal stuff. She fits right in."Jesus Christ. I wonder if that rumor has been floating around town and for how long."I can't believe this shit. And yeah, she does fit into my life. That's important to me. I'm never going to give up Devils’ Wolves.""So let's talk about your biggest hurdle, because it's not anything between you and Kyra. You two seem to be fine. It's Aiden, right?""Yup.""Does he have any idea? Have either of you dropped any hints?""No.""Maybe you should start. Ease him into it slowly. He probably already has some kind of inkling, Tor. Even though I knew and I really don't pay much attention to anyone around me."That's true. Tessie has always been stuck in her own he

Chapter: Chapter seventy seven**Tor POV**"Why all the questions, Toren?""I'm curious. I met someone younger..."Her ice blue eyes hone in on me like two bright beacons cutting through fog."Holy shit," she breathes out slowly. "It finally happened.""What?""You and Kyra Callis. I knew it!" She smacks her palm down on the table triumphantly. "I always knew something was there between you two.""Tessie, don't be crazy." I scoff at her but fear snakes through me. I didn't think she would figure me out so quickly. I thought I could just nonchalantly pick her brain to see if I could get some insight on how a younger girl would feel about dating an older guy. Now she's got me cornered.She tilts her head at me. "Seriously, Tor? Come on. Stop the bullshit. Obviously you need to talk so let's just drop the charade, okay?"It's hard to admit, but she hit the nail right on the head. I do need someone to talk to before I lose my mind from keeping this all bottled up inside me. I know I can talk to Lukas, but the fact that

Chapter: Chapter seventy six**Tor POV**Nothing can fuck your shit up faster than the girl you've got your cock buried in getting a text message from her father telling her she should come home because it's after midnight.I wanted to keep her with me in my bed all night and ask her to not go home. I wanted to tell her to tell her father that she was spending the night at Chloe's house and she'd be home tomorrow.And then I remElaraed that once I was the guy who enforced her curfew. Told her to never lie to her father about anything. I almost laughed at the insane irony of it, only it wasn't funny. It was terrifyingly confusing.Fuck me.Day one of having Kyra was nothing short of a dream and I'm not going to let these bumps in the road ruin the happiness we're feeling. We knew it would be hard. We knew it would be difficult. We knew there would be lies.Is she worth it? Yes.So I drove her home in my truck and when she went inside she told Aiden that she had been at my place playing with the dog and then we wat

Chapter: Chapter eighty threeLEERA POVI want to deny it. This is crazy. But as I go to say something, my wolf snorts at me like I've offended her.“This was you...er, us?”She huffs in response.I stare at my hands in disbelief.“It was me, us. My wolf...she confirmed it.” I turn to look at ROMAN. “How?”He shakes his head as his eyes change from shock to beaming with pride.“I don't know. The Goddess does everything with a reason.”KHAOS rises from the ground to stand beside us, just as the others approach. His clothes and hair are still covered in blood, and Lord knows what else, but he's whole. He wraps his arms around me and whispers in my ear,“You saved me,” and squeezes me one more time before pulling away.Everyone stands in shock for a moment, just staring at us.“Later,” ROMAN says firmly. “We have plenty here that still need our attention.”When the realization hits me, I shout,“Wait, where's INDIA?”KHAOS spins on his heel and lurches over about ten feet, where a mangled body is leaned against a tre

Chapter: Chapter eighty oneLeera POVThe answer is seven.In case you were wondering how many times we took turns providing each other with orgasms until I'm pretty sure I literally passed out from the last one and slept until morning.I feel like I'm glowing. I definitely haven't stopped smiling. He said he didn't want to take me here because of the nosey werewolves, but there is no way they didn't hear my screams and his roars last night.I expected to be a little embarrassed this morning, but everyone is acting like they couldn't hear us all night. Maybe they couldn't. Or maybe it's because they're all werewolves, some having found their mate. Maybe sex isn't such a taboo topic in some realms.Like the one I'm a freaking princess of. I'm still working on wrapping my head around all of that, but it makes more sense than anything else so far. Like why I was homeschooled, and we traveled all the time. Why I was given wolfsbane my whole life. Possibly why my parents were taken from me. Why I was kidnapped. It's

Chapter: Chapter eightyRoman POVI don't know why I continue to be surprised by her strength. No matter what information she gets hit with, it only knocks her down long enough for her to properly gather it and store it the way she needs to until she's ready to address it herself.She just got told she has a twin brother, royal parents, and that she's the lost princess of ZABELLA, and after a couple minutes of snuggles, she had completely compartmentalized the entire ordeal.Now we're running through the forest, and I can't take my eyes off of her. I wouldn't if I could. The way her wolf's silver fur glistens in the moonlight is mesmerizing. The way she flies between the trees, you can't even tell her feet touch the ground. If this were one of her Disney movies, there would be a trail of sparkles billowing behind her.But this isn't a movie. This is really happening. My mate is the lost princess.Potentially kidnapped by my father not once, but twice now. And what is he after?I'm trying to take LEERA's lead

Chapter: Chapter seventy nineLeera POVI sit on the log, staring out at the clearing in complete and total shock at the giant, steaming pile of shit my life has become in the last year.I feel like one of those cartoon waitresses trying to get back to the kitchen with the dirty dishes, but people just keep throwing more on the pile. Now, instead of just trying to get to the kitchen, I have to get there without dropping or breaking anything.I was slightly terrified yet so excited for my first shift. It felt otherworldly to be united with my wolf.Until it all came crashing down. Again.Because that's what my life does.I should be enjoying my wolf. Running with ROMAN and the men. Nope. Not me.I find out I'm some twisted Twilight version of Rapunzel.I guess in some ways it took an item off of my life-stuff-to-figure-out list, but now that adds more questions as well.I know who my birth parents are, but I'm no closer to knowing how the parents that raised me came to have me in their possession. We also don't kno

Chapter: Chapter Seventy eightRoman POVShe is the single most magnificent creature I have ever seen, but I’m in such a state of shock that I can’t even properly convey that to her.Now she seems upset with me as I all but drag Andrei across the clearing so we can privately discuss what the fuck just happened.Leera has her tail tucked between her legs like she’s done something wrong.“Leera, baby, it’s not you. You’re fucking perfect, but—”I pull my T-shirt off over my head as I move her toward the tree.“I need you to shift back for me for just a minute. We need to have a very important discussion. Then you can shift back and spend as much time with your wolf as you’d like.”She tilts her head at me, which I interpret to mean, And exactly how the fuck am I supposed to do that? No one told me.“You focus on your body and will yourself back into your human form.”“You can tell your wolf to, and she’ll help.”She plants her front paws in preparation and narrows her eyes in concentration.She shifts flawlessly, but
