Private Property of My Best Friend's Alpha Daddy
~I shouldn’t be at this party.
This is Emily’s night, and I’ve spent years making sure I never become the reason anything goes wrong for her. She insisted I come anyway. Maybe I should have found a better excuse.
Because the moment her father walks into the room, something ancient and irreversible locks into place.~
***********
Dominic Blackwood is the most ruthless Alpha in the region. Controlled. Feared. Untouchable. And the last man I should ever look at the way I am looking at him now. A supposed "Father figure" whom I never even dated to cross paths with and avoided like a plague out of sheer fear of his cold and aloof presence and authority.
He feels it too. I see it in the way his eyes change the exact second recognition hits. For the first time in fifteen years, the Blackwood Alpha’s wolf has chosen.
But he tells me this cannot happen and I try to disappear the way I always have.
Yet some connections refuse to be ignored. And once a man like Dominic Blackwood decides you are his, the rest of the world including his own daughter might soon becomes secondary.
I Emily's best friend, the one who had once tasted rejection before might feel it's sharp sting again, might loose a friend, might become a target. So many things are uncertain. Except Two. One, I need and feel the heat for my mate, Two, Even without doing anything, I know he has already claimed me as his from the moment we locked eyes and discovered the hard truth

Chapter: Feeling of painThe apartment door closed behind me with a soft, final click. I stood in the narrow entryway, keys biting into my palm, and just breathed.The silence here was different from the estate. It was thin, cheap and absolute. There were no distant voices or heavy footsteps neither was there a controlled presence that made the air itself feel safer and more dangerous at the same time. Only the tired hum of the refrigerator and the muffled traffic three floors down could be heard. I used to tell myself I liked coming home to quiet but tonight the quiet felt like proof that I had been sent away again.That's when the fear hit me. With such force I felt my wolf shiver in pain. Was I going to repeat the painful cycle of rejection again?I dropped the keys on the table like it burned my hand and went straight to the bathroom without turning on the overhead light. The mirror was honest in the worst way. It showed me proof that I had cried, and had did so miserablyMy hands were visibly shaking as

Chapter: Stand off.(DOMINIC'S POV)I slammed the study door hard enough to rattle the glass in the windows and took deep breaths in.My wolf was a living storm under my skin, clawing, snarling, refusing every command I threw at it. Between us both, I couldn't tell who was angrier. It wanted blood for the pup who had looked at Lily with open hunger. It wanted to drag her back from wherever she had fled, strip the shame from her body, and bury itself so deep inside her that the bond could never be denied again.I didn't want that. F*ck it, I had to not want that.I braced both hands on the heavy desk and dragged in a breath that still carried the sweet, ruined edge of her scent. It clung to me like a deliberate accusation.Then I let out a self depreciating laugh. “Nyx,” I snarled under my breath, the name of the moon goddess tasting like ash. “You vicious, meddling b*tch." The more I spoke, the angrier I got "A late-blooming child who cannot even control a simple rise of heat? THAT is your idea of a mate

Chapter: Can't risk it.I could not look at him. My hands were still trembling against the marble counter. The bathroom felt too small, the air too thick with my own sweet, unfinished scent and the heavier, colder presence of the man who had looked at me right now with the kind of gaze that put me in this state in the first place.What do I say or do now he's found me like this, especially when he is completely aware of the fact that my ache is for him? If my ache was truly for him why did I react like that to someone else. Before I can keep thinking, his voice cuts my train of thoughts and like before, it's short and jabbing“Explain." I flinched. I'm not quite sure it's a command, but my body reacts like he is, reminding me all the more of the gap in our status, in our control...My eyes trail down to his.. I quickly look away and muster up my courage or whatever was left of it to respond. “ I didn’t mean to-” what exactly didn't I mean to do. Feel such heat? Or let another wolf sense it clearly enough

Chapter: Need.The water was cool but it did nothing.I stood chest-deep in the wide pool, the afternoon sun bright overhead, laughter and splashing loud around me, and still my skin burned. Heat lived under every inch of me. low, relentless, impossible to ignore. My bikini, the conservative black one I had chosen earlier, clung to damp skin and felt like too little protection. Every shift of the water against my body only made the ache sharper.I turned my head.A few feet away Emily was pressed against one of the boys from her law-school circle, mouths moving, hands roaming with the easy confidence of people who had nothing to hide. Two other girls were doing the same along the pool edge, soft sounds mixing with the music. The sight sent another pulse of heat straight through me. My wolf stirred hard, restless and demanding."Why are we still waiting?" she seemed to ask. "Why is he not here?"The fear followed immediately after.What if the bond was rejected? What if he decided I was too weak, too

Chapter: Let's try SwimmingI remained frozen on the bed, the words still hanging in the air between us.“You must do your absolute best to seduce him.”Emily’s careless advice echoed in the quiet room, bright and catastrophic. My face burned so fiercely I felt light-headed. He had heard. Dominic Blackwood had stood there in the open doorway and heard my best friend tell me to seduce someone while the someone in question was him. The man whose gaze still lingered on my skin like a brand.Mortification crashed through me in waves. Beneath it, the leftover heat flared hard and low, pooling between my thighs until I had to press them together. My wolf gave a restless, needy roll that left my pulse uneven and my breathing shallow. I wanted the floor to open. I wanted to disappear. I wanted, traitorously, to know what his voice would sound like if he had stepped inside instead of walking away.He had stayed in the doorway longer than he should have. I felt it: the heavy, certain surge of his wolf answering mine, the

Chapter: Open doorThe guest room still held the quiet of early morning. I sat cross-legged on the bed in an old sweater and shorts, laptop closed beside me. The head designer’s note from yesterday sat in my inbox like a small, polite disappointment"Clean, but safe. Push harder next time Lily. I thought you really wanted to prove everybody wrong"I had finished the minor revisions before the sun fully rose. Now the tablet screen stayed dark. Safe work. Safe life. I could not make myself open it again. I groan.My mind quickly drifts to other matters.The heat had not left with the night.It stayed low and constant, a soft flush under my skin that made the air in the closed room smell faintly sweet no matter how many times I cracked the window. Every time my thoughts drifted, they drifted straight to him. Dominic Blackwood’s eyes across the crowded hall. The way he had not looked away. The controlled line of his mouth. The breadth of his shoulders. My stomach tightened. Heat pooled lower, slow and unwan
