Chapter: Chapter 83LucasI strolled into Ayden’s office like I owned the damn place. After all, we’d worked side by side for years—through blood, war, betrayal, and worse. Formalities had long ago gone out the window. Besides, with his senses, he already knew it was me behind the door before my hand even touched the knob.Without waiting for an invitation, I plopped down in the chair across from him. He didn’t even spare me a glance—kept typing away, face unreadable, posture rigid as always. My gaze flicked across his face, his hands, the tension in his shoulders. I studied him like a puzzle, searching for cracks in his armor, a flicker of something that would tell me what the hell was going on in that guarded head of his.Because something was off. Had been, for weeks."You're staring so hard you're about to drill a damn hole through my skull," Ayden muttered without looking up.I clicked my tongue, not even trying to hide my annoyance. "Maybe if you let people in, I wouldn’t have to play telepath."I k

Chapter: Chapter 82JamesI was frantic, overwhelmed by a rush of emotions and a heart that wouldn’t slow down. How my mate managed to land herself in this much sh.it, I’d probably never understand. But somewhere deep down, I always knew her big mouth and brutal honesty would get her into trouble eventually. I guess that day was today.I were already wrapping up with my mates the plan for the next mission, when Alpha boomed through the link, “Your mate is in trouble. Packhouse. Now!” I ran like my life depended on it—because hers might. I shot a message through the mind link for another warrior to finish without me as I sprinted across the field, pushing every bit of speed my wolf could give me. He was just as frantic as I was.As Laila stepped out and started walking toward Klaid, who looked like he was on the verge of exploding, I noticed his fists clenched and his jaw locking tight. Then, without warning, he shifted into his wolf form—and he was just as furious. Instinct screamed at me to run to her, b

Chapter: Chapter 81LailaI woke up slightly disoriented, taking in my surroundings. Right—I'm at the pack house. With werewolves. It’s been almost a month now, but it still feels strange to say that out loud.I stretched like a cat and lazily looked around the room. Empty, as usual. James was probably at training or off on another mission. I’d find out soon. My gaze drifted to the ceiling as my thoughts wandered to yesterday’s forest walk with James—and later, his wolf. His fur had been unbelievably soft. I couldn’t help but wrap myself around him, burying my nose into that thick, woolly coat. He had that wild, animalistic scent, but I didn’t mind it. I smiled softly at the memory.Still, it felt surreal. I lived among werewolves now. Most of the time, they acted so human I could almost forget. But when someone shifted, or I spotted a wolf trotting past, the reality hit me all over again. I shook my head with a wry smile. Unreal. What has my life turned into?I rolled out of bed, got ready, and headed do

Chapter: Chapter 80JamesA moment of silence fell as everyone turned to Laila, watching her expectantly. I couldn’t help but wonder if she was about to back out of the challenge. Then Laila twisted over me to look at the Alpha.“I think it’s great that you’re spending more time with pack members. People talk about it—warriors, omegas—they’re happy. It means a lot.”The Alpha nodded. Then she turned to Fay.“Fay, thank you for trying so hard to look after me when James isn’t home. I see you as my sweet little sister. Your personality still feels like a bud just beginning to bloom, and I truly hope you’ll let yourself grow into the beautiful flower you’re meant to be—doing what you love and becoming who you truly are.”She said it to her, making me think about my sister and her personality. I always thought she just did whatever she wanted—maybe even a bit of a spoiled brat.Fay blushed, murmured a shy “thank you,” and looked down at her lap. When did she get so shy? I thought. Maybe Laila saw something I

Chapter: Chapter 79JamesI entered the packhouse, my nose instantly guiding me toward the lounge where her scent was the strongest. Even before I saw her, I could feel her through the bond—warm, present, mine. My heart clenched with longing.I pushed open the doors, my focus narrowing solely on her. A genuine smile broke across my face before I even realized it, and it grew wider when Laila’s features softened and she smiled back just as brightly. She was happy to see me too.I dropped onto the couch beside her, trying not to let it show that I wasn’t thrilled she was sitting so close to our unmated Alpha. Still, I let it slide—for now. Instead, I pulled her close and inhaled deeply, her scent making me dizzy in the best way. I sighed contentedly and pressed a kiss to her lips, her eyes gleaming up at me.“Speak of the devil…” I heard Lucas mutter under his breath.“Am I the devil now?” I asked, arching a brow at him. He just grinned.“Were you gossiping about me?” I pressed.“He was prying into our rel

Chapter: Chapter 78Laila “Do you like it here?” Kate interrupted my thoughts.“‘Here’ as in this living room with your cozy little werewolf crew, the whole supernatural neighborhood, or are we talking about the entire city or country?”“This pack. The packhouse.”“Well, it feels like I am back in the dorms. It’s… okay,” I replied.Kate still looked unsure.“I’d prefer living in my own place. Helps me rest and recharge. But I get why James wants me here, so… what can I do? I’m just a guest.”“Is that really how you feel?” Kate looked surprised.“Yeah. Were you expecting a different answer?” I chuckled nervously. I can say it again—I really can’t stand being fake, but it seems like my honesty isn’t always well received around here.“I guess I hoped you’d say you felt great here.”“Sorry to disappoint,” I said softly.“So, you don’t feel like this is your new family?” Fay asked quietly.I looked at her. “I’m human. You’re all supernatural creatures. It’s a little hard to relate.”“So, you don’t feel like p

Chapter: Chapter 26PrueThe car ride to school was, well, hell. I sucked in one big breath and tried to hold it, praying I could last the entire trip without inhaling that intoxicating scent of his. Spoiler alert: I couldn’t. I tried to use superhealing to ease the burning feeling in my lungs.If your heart goes into cardiac arrest, that’s on you, you stupid duck, my wolf snapped, irritated.I’m a werewolf, you stupid wolf, I retorted back, exhaling in what was supposed to be silent control but came out as a very obvious sigh. Andrew shot me a side-eye, like he was debating whether I was insane. Honestly? Let him.Every lungful of his scent was torture. That rugged comfort of fire smoke and pine trees was like a sin crawled under my skin, lighting me up in ways I absolutely didn’t ask for. Annoying didn’t even cover it.I mashed the window button down, and cold air blasted into the car, whipping my hair into a wild mess. I tried taming it, pointlessly shoving strands behind my ears, before just giving u

Chapter: Chapter 25PrueI sat on the new bed, staring blankly at the walls like they were supposed to explain the meaning of life – or at least what the hell I was doing here. It had been hours since I arrived, yet my suitcase was still zipped up like it had trust issues. I hadn’t unpacked a single thing. Maybe deep down, I was hoping for some miracle where someone would burst through that door and say, “Surprise! Just kidding. Your dad’s here to take you home.”No such luck.I already felt… lonely. A sharp sting welled up behind my eyes, but I blinked it back. I was not going to cry. Nope. Not happening. I hit the quilt beside me with a dramatic thump like it was personally responsible for ruining my life.A knock on the door cut through my emotional meltdown. Yes, I know what one looks like – don’t let the teenage label fool you. I’m self-aware. Unfortunately.“Yeah?” I snapped, lacing my voice with maximum attitude. How dare you interrupt my brooding.Andrew peeked his head in, damp hair clinging to

Chapter: Chapter 24PrueI was sitting cross-legged on my bed, watching yet another podcast about dopamine addiction in adults, when a knock came at my door."Come in, Dad!"I called out. No, weres don’t have x-ray vision, but it’s not like anyone else would knock on my door. Dad stepped in with a small smile and a grim expression.Oh no. Fu.ck me and my life. Dread and nervous butterflies stirred in my stomach."How are you doing, sweetheart?" he asked as he walked closer and sat on the edge of my bed."Just say it, Dad." I cut him off. No point dragging this out. It’s not like he came here for small talk. He gave me another sad smile."I know this will be difficult at first, but I talked with Alpha and we agreed that you’re moving to the packhouse tonight.""Tonight?!" I nearly shouted. I knew it was going to be bad, but this was a whole new level of disastrous. He nodded."Yes, Rue. The boy will pick you up in three hours. So, you’ve got time to pack what you want to take."I just stared at him, dumbf

Chapter: Chapter 23PrueI sighed in relief when my house finally came into view, like a lighthouse after a storm. Somehow, I’d managed to keep a safe distance from the Alpha boy all day – a great distance, just to make sure he didn’t suddenly decide to kidnap me and drag me off to his royal wolf cave or whatever. The moment I caught a whiff of that infuriatingly intoxicating stench of his, I spun on my heel and walked the other way.Yes, that meant skipping lunch as well. Instead, I hid in the library, gnawing on the world’s saddest excuse for a sandwich. I ate it on the go, shuffling down the aisles like some tragic, underfed phantom haunting the shelves. Romantic, I know.When the final bell rang, I didn’t just leave school – I practically launched myself out the front door. Sprinting. Bolting. Might as well have yelled “freedom!” like some prisoner on the run. Did I even grab the right books? No clue. Did I care? Absolutely not. Priorities, darling. Survival first, homework later.The front door crea

Chapter: Chapter 22AndrewMy father looks at me expectantly.“She left.” He states the obvious.Yeah, dad, she just closed the door. I saw that too, you know? I bite back the sarcasm swirling in my head.“Yeah,” I say instead, keeping my tone neutral.“Is she moving fast?” Dad presses on.“How would I know?” I frown, genuinely confused.“Feel the bond within you,” he explains, as if I’m some clueless pup. “It’s a tether to her, even if she’s not part of this pack yet.”His tone makes me feel like an i.diot. Thanks for the condescending lecture, Dad. Very helpful.I search my mind for the bond. It’s not easy to focus, so I shut my eyes, forcing myself to search inward. It’s like reaching into fog. After a moment, I feel it – a faint thread tugging gently against my chest, like an invisible string trying to pull me toward someone. Light, soft… almost like a butterfly fluttering further away.“Yes,” I say slowly, “she’s moving quite fast.”I open my eyes to meet Dad’s stare. He watches me closely, his head

Chapter: Chapter 21PrueI walked steady out of the office, leaving them to enjoy their cozy little family chat – the kind that involved shocked faces, unspoken words, and hopefully some righteous scolding. But the moment the door clicked shut behind me, my stroll turned into a full-on dash down the stairs. I yanked out my little bottle of scent masker, spraying a generous cloud over myself before tucking it back into the handy hiding spot in my bra. Honestly, bras were life-saving inventions – storage units, shields, and smuggling compartments all in one.I barely avoided crashing into an unsuspecting omega as I darted toward the main entrance, rounding the corner like a criminal on the run. Without a second thought, I made a beeline for the woods, slipping out the way I came in, as if I’d never been there in the first place. Mission semi-accomplished.As soon as I hit the tree line, I slowed my pace, convinced I was in the clear. The forest floor crunched softly under my feet as I strolled along, whist
