Chapter: 11.ZOE’s POVI was caught off guard by his sudden question but soon recovered quickly. He still didn't understand what I'd been trying to say."Look...you can't just tell me to pack up and move in with you just because I'm pregnant with your child. I have my life to live, my job, my daughter… I can't leave all that for a stranger I barely know. What do you even know about me that made you decide on that?" I poured out my frustration on him because I was beginning to feel irritated with how things were going."But if you move in, things would be easier, and you'd be more protected. I'm doing all this for you and our baby. Just try to understand me," he said, sounding just a bit desperate, making me all the more confused and annoyed."What we have isn't even defined, and you expect me to live with you? Is there something else I should know? I have done just fine on my own. So, no! Thank you, but I'm definitely not moving in with you."He looked hurt by what I’d said, but I guess that's the

Chapter: 10.HUGH's POVMy phone rang, and I moved away from the window, dropped my cup of coffee, and went to pick it up. I glanced at my watch.6:23 amOnly one person would call by this time.I reached for my phone and picked up the call.“What do you want now?” I asked, not wanting to waste time.“C’mon, Dad, you don't have to be so blunt. I just need a few bucks from you. I got into a little problem…”“Carl, I’ve warned you not to call me anymore. How do you keep getting into trouble? If you're not going to change…”“Yo, chill! I just need a few bucks from you I don't need you to scold me or something. You gon’ send it or not?” Carl slurred.It was barely 7 in the morning, and he was already drunk. I rubbed my temple.“Did you go to rehab I paid for?” I asked.“Are you gonna send it or not?” He repeated, getting angrier.“No, I won't be sending more money, Carl. Not anymore. You need to…”The line went dead before I could finish my sentence, and I just tossed my phone aside with a sigh.Carl

Chapter: 9.I woke up this morning with a start. The morning sunlight streamed in from the curtains I forgot to draw together. Something heavy was on my stomach, and I groaned, wondering what that was. Harper snored lightly beside me. It turned out that it was her leg sprawled against my stomach.I let out a small curse and flung it away, muttering something about wanting to kill my unborn child. I got up with a groan. I adjusted the curtains so the sunlight wouldn't affect Harper, who was still sleeping.I took my brush and headed to Noelle's room to wake her up. She yawned lazily, and I brushed her teeth while she kept talking about her baking episode with Harper yesterday.By the time I was in the kitchen making breakfast for her and Harper, Noelle was on her tab, watching cartoons. I heard a knock on the door. Furrowing my brows, I wondered who might be here at this time.I wiped my wet hands on a kitchen towel, totally forgetting I was still in my flimsy, skimpy nightwear. I went to open the

Chapter: 8.I looked away from Hugh's car and went inside my apartment. The door closed behind me. The door closed like a wall between us.Noelle took my hand. Pulled me into the kitchen. "Mommy, come see what Harper and I made! We made cookies with chocolate chips. I put the chocolate chips in myself. I counted them all!"I smiled at her. "You did? How many did you count?"Noelle said, "I counted to twenty! Then Harper said that was enough. I think we should have used more," she whinedHarper was standing by the counter. When our eyes met, I knew she could tell something was wrong.Noelle gave me a cookie. " Mommy, try one. They are the best!"I took a bite. The cookie was sweet. I was not really tasting it because my mind was still on what Hugh said.Noelle pulled my hand. "Mommy, are you okay? You look funny."“I am, sweetheart. The cookies are great. You did a good job." I forced a smile when I noticed the small frown she had on her face."I will go get some milk! Harper said we can have milk

Chapter: 7.ZOE'S POV I couldn't focus on work throughout the day. My mind kept going back to the conversation I had with Hugh. I tried my best not to let my emotions get in the way of my work.Every time I closed my eyes, I kept seeing Hugh's face and the seriousness behind it. And there was Lane, who oddly kept interrupting my thoughts and my mother's plea earlier.I got so distracted I didn't know when I ended up prescribing the wrong dosage for another post-op patient. The nurse gave me a strange look, and I forced myself to snap back to reality.By the time my shift ended, I was tired. Physically and emotionally. I gathered my things, changed out of my scrubs, and walked towards the hospital exit, where I'd parked. My mind was mainly on getting home to take a hot bath, and perhaps a glass of wine.I pushed open the clean glass doors and stepped outside into the cool evening air.Parked at the curb was a sleek black car that looked totally out of place in the hospital parking lot. I became s

Chapter: 6.HUGH’S POVThe office door clicked closed behind me. Zoe sat behind her desk, trying desperately to keep her professional mask intact, but I could see she wasn't going to keep up the act for too long. Her hands trembled slightly as they rested weakly against her laptop.I didn't bother wasting time with pleasantries, moving straight to the point.“Why did you run away, Zoe?”She was taken aback, obviously not expecting me to be that straightforward. Her lips quivered as she hesitated. I thought she wasn't going to talk, but she did two seconds later.“I…what?”“You just disappeared without a trace, Zoe,” I pointed out.Her spine straightened, and she immediately went all defensive.“No, you were gone before I woke up, Hugh. I assumed that was what you wanted, that you felt like whatever we had that night was just a fling. It's a one-night stand to you, no strings attached. Of course I had to leave,” she finished off.Something in my chest twisted.“I had an emergency pack matter I had

Chapter: 45 - Gabriel Finally Goes To The HospitalGabriel's POVPain filled every part of me, spreading from my shoulder into my chest with every breath. The turf felt cold against my back. Above me, the stadium lights blurred into white circles.Players rushed over, their cleats pounding against the ground.“You good, Davenport?”“Someone, call the trainer!”Their voices blended, and I couldn't bring myself to answer. I tried to push up with my good arm, gritting my teeth, but the moment I shifted my weight, pain shot through my shoulder and down into my ribs.I dropped back onto the turf, breathing hard through my teeth.Roland reached me, dropping to his knees beside me.“Hey. Hey, look at me.” His hands hovered near my shoulders, unsure where it was safe to touch. “What happened? Talk to me.”Ryder was right behind him. He reached under my good arm, trying to help me up.“Easy,” Ryder said, his voice tight. “Easy. Take it slow.”With b

Chapter: 44 - Gabriel's Shoulder Is Hurt MoreGabriel's POVThe locker room was noisy, the same way it usually was before a game everyone had been waiting weeks for.Pads clattered against benches. Someone's cleats squeaked against the tile too.I sat at my locker, taping my wrist, trying not to think about the ache sitting deep in my shoulder like a stone lodged under the joint.Coach walked in with his clipboard tucked under one arm, and the room quieted almost on its own."Big one tonight," he said, scanning the room. "You all know it, and I know it." He turned towards everyone, then his eyes landed on me. "Davenport, get up here and say something to your team."My eyes widened slightly. I had not expected it.I stood, rolled my shoulders once out of habit, and immediately regretted it when pain shot down my arm. I kept my face still and walked to the front of the room.Every eye in the room landed on me. Roland leaned forward on the bench, elbows on hi

Chapter: 43 - Gabriel Signs Up For Tutoring, AgainJoey's POVI blinked, shocked and scared.Juan went on, his voice low and dangerous. "You had no right to walk off with that boy the other night. None. I don't care what you do with your life during the day—school, reading, whatever little world you've built for yourself. But at night, you belong to me. You understand?"I didn't say anything. My jaw was held too tight to speak even if I wanted to.He let go, sitting back and straightening his jacket like nothing had happened."I've been trying to play nice," he said, pulling back onto the road. "Give you room, let you feel comfortable. Seems like that's not working the way I hoped."I remained silent, my heart thundering inside of me."Don't get comfortable enough to forget who I am." His voice had gone flat now. "And if you have forgotten, maybe you should visit your mother. Ask her about me. She'll remind you."I remained silent the rest of the drive… even too scared to think.It was a little past midnight when Juan pulled to a stop

Chapter: 42 - Jeremiah Is At The ClubJoey's POVA woman I had never met pressed cool fingers under my chin and tilted my face toward the light as she applied dark eyeshadow into the crease of my eyelid. Another woman knelt at my feet, slipping a pair of heels higher than anything I owned onto them, fastening the straps.Neither of them talked much. They didn't need to. I sat still and let them work.The dress came last.It was a black fitted dress with stretchy fabric that hugged my body without restricting me. The skirt stopped high on my thighs, and the sides had small cutouts that showed just enough skin. It was made to move with me. The back was cut so low that I felt air linger unhurried in unnatural places.When they finally stepped back and let me see everything in the mirror, I barely recognized myself.I had dark lips... every part of me dressed to look dangerous, like I had been sent to ruin a man's night on purpose.A diva straight from hell, polished until she shone, with my black mask in place.But I didn't

Chapter: 41 - Ryder Finds OutGabriel's POVMy shoes hit the track in a steady rhythm.I kept my eyes ahead, refusing to slow even as pain spread from my shoulder down my arm. One lap became three, then four. My lungs burned, sweat soaked my shirt, but I didn’t stop.I threw myself into training the next morning as if it might fix something, running routes until my lungs burned, pushing through every rep even as my shoulder screamed louder with each hit.I didn't talk much. Didn't want to. Every time someone tried to make conversation, I gave them the shortest answer I could manage and kept moving. Moving was easier than sitting still with everything currently crowding my head.Anna walked past the field around midmorning, cutting across toward the science building with a friend. She glanced over, caught my eye for a second, and looked away without a single change of expression, like I was nothing more than scenery.I deserved that.I hadn't meant to leave the way I had the night before.

Chapter: 40 - Gabriel Is Not OkayGabriel's POVI drove home with my jaw clenched so tight it ached, Joey's voice looping in my head no matter how many times I tried to shove it out.'Maybe I really am more like my mother than I ever wanted to be.'She was lying. She had to be lying. It was definitely some twisted performance meant to hurt me, to make me feel exactly as unsteady as she had felt standing in that parking lot three nights ago.That was all it was. A weapon aimed and thrown, nothing real behind it.I told myself that the entire drive home. I told myself that when I pulled into the driveway, when I walked up to the front door, and as I stood there for a second before I even went inside.I didn't believe it. Not really. That was the part that made me want to put my fist through something. Because if it wasn't a performance, if there had been even a shred of truth buried in what she said, then she had made me fall for her and used me all those years ago.Shit!I needed something else to think about.

Chapter: Chapter 35 - ScientistThe boy lay, tightly bound to the bed. He struggled as he finally became conscious. He fluttered his eyelashes as the fluorescent lights seemed too bright for his eyes. He stared around, pain kicking in from all over. His body ached like crazy, and he tried to wriggle his hands free from where they were tied to the bedposts.He struggled furiously, tears running down his cheeks as he fought to tear his hands free. He succeeded in ripping one free, while scanning the laboratory for any sign of the crazy scientist.He rushed, not wanting to be caught. He was tied to the bed with thick rope. After another minute of struggle, he finally got rid of it, and the moment his feet touched the floor, a little spark of hope ignited in him.He got off the bed, tried taking a step, but he stumbled. He tried grabbing onto something but crashed into a table holding test tubes and various weirdly smelling solutions. Shards of glass scattered everywhere. He stepped on a broken piece, but he totally ign

Chapter: Chapter 34 - SummersMy hands moved on their own as I worked on Alpha Derek.I didn't have to think about what I was doing. My body just knew. The antidote was a mixture I'd memorized years ago. Back when Axel was still teaching me. I measured the crushed herbs with trembling fingers, added the tincture drop by drop, and drew the liquid into a syringe.His pulse was so weak. If I didn't act fast, he would die right in front of everyone. And a part of me that I hated wondered if that would be so bad.He killed your family, that voice whispered. He destroyed everything you loved. He deserves this.But then I saw his face. Pale, fragile, and defenseless. And I remembered the way he'd smiled at me this morning, telling me I looked good. The way he'd thanked me for giving him a few more weeks with his son.I couldn't do it.I injected the antidote into his IV and watched, my heart pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears. The liquid disappeared into his veins, and nothing happened for a long, horrible momen

Chapter: Chapter 33 - SummersThe hall went silent as everyone looked around, wondering who Valerie was. I stood there, still staring at Reid, forgetting that Valerie was my fake name. I snapped back to reality, and I found my feet moving before I could control them. My heart began to beat fast as I climbed the podium. All eyes were on me as Reid held out his hand and helped me up the stairs to the podium.People began to clap, and I was grateful that at least I wouldn't have to say anything. It was the first time I would stand in front of such a huge crowd, and they weren't staring in disdain or calling me a failure. They saw me as a hero, and for a moment I smiled, forgetting about the pill I would be using on Alpha Derek right here.I went to sit beside Alpha Derek, who smiled as I joined him. I gave him a faint, quick smile, immediately averting my gaze, and making sure I didn't stare into the crowd. People's gazes were still on me; aside from that, I didn't want to meet Axel's eyes and remember what he’d said

Chapter: Chapter 32 - Summers MemoryThe moon cave wasn't anything much, but it was something Summers always found intriguing. Her dad claimed he gets the best view of the moon from there with his telescope. Today, he sat her down behind the telescope as Summers stared at the moon. She was quiet as she stared. This moon was going to decide her fate today. “I feel like this is the best spot for you to have your first shift. I purposely had it decorated for you,” Her father said with a bright smile. She was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't notice the little ribbons set up inside the cave. Summers smiled at her dad and pulled him into a hug.“Alright, sweetie, I'll wait for you outside while you do your thing.”He made to leave, and she immediately grabbed his hands. She was grateful he followed her instead of her mother; her mom wouldn't know anything about shifting anyway.“How does it work?” she asked.“Just give in to your instincts. Relax and let it take you.” Summers swallowed, not sure it would be that easy

Chapter: Chapter 31 - SummersReid didn't take his eyes off us, and I found myself still staring until Theo followed my gaze. Something about the way he looked hurt made my heart drop.I looked away immediately and forced a smile at Theo.“Today will be a very busy day for you. Don't let me distract you.” I spoke.“Doesn't mean…” Theo barely finished when his father came to whisk him away. I turned my head to look at Reid again, but he wasn't looking at me anymore. He was smiling at a blonde-haired bitch who wouldn't keep her hands to herself. She kept touching his arm every second.Maybe that was how he felt when Theo tried to help me with my hair earlier. I couldn't bear to stare any longer. I picked up a cup of wine from a passing waiter and proceeded to walk away from the vicinity.A lady bumped into me, and I cursed.“Watch where you're going!” I snapped.“Aren't you excited to see me?” The familiar voice made me stop in my tracks. I turned to take a second look at the lady. The familiar face made me burst in

Chapter: Chapter 30 - SummersI barely slept that night.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Reid's face, the way his eyes had dropped to my lips, the way he'd pulled away like touching me would burn him. I tossed and turned, my bruised wrist throbbing with a dull ache that matched the one in my chest.When morning finally came, I’d barely slept at all.I sat up slowly, wincing as I flexed my wrist. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and walked toward the mirror. The person staring back at me looked tired. The shadows under my eyes were darker than usual, and there was a hollow look in my gaze that I couldn't quite hide.Today was the ceremony. The moment Reid officially becomes the Alpha of the Bloodmoon pack.And the moment Axel would make his move.I pressed my palm against my chest, feeling my heart race beneath my fingers. I should have felt excited. This was what I'd been working toward for months. Years, even. Every lie I'd told, every mask I'd worn, every moment I'd smiled at Reid while planning his f
