During their senior year, Jessa decides it was time for her to gain some self-confidence, find her true beauty and not be the invisible twin.
As Jessa transformed, she begins to catch the eye of everyone around her, especially Noah.
Noah, initially blinded by his perception of Jessa as merely Jackson’s sister, started to see her in a new light. How did she become the captivating woman invading his thoughts? When did she become the object of his fantasies?

Chapter: Chapter 215JessaJessa POVBy the time I walked into school, I could feel it.Not the whispers exactly — not the words — but the shift. The way conversations dipped when I passed. The way people smiled too brightly, like they were trying to prove they weren’t talking about me even though we all knew they were.It was almost worse than when they didn’t bother to hide it.My locker was three rows down from the main hallway, and every step there felt like walking through invisible fog. I couldn’t hear what anyone was saying, but I could feel it pressing in from all sides.Paid him to date her.Poor Noah.Desperate.Embarrassing.I didn’t know who started it. I just knew it stuck.Mariah walked beside me, quiet for once. Not her normal commentary-on-everything self. She kept glancing at me like she was waiting for me to break.I didn’t.That surprised both of us.When we got to my locker, I spun the dial and opened it like it was any other day. My hands weren’t shaking. My stomach wasn’t in knots. I

Chapter: Chapter 214NoahBy the time I got home, my head felt like it had been run through a blender.Not because anything terrible had happened.Not because Jessa and I had fought.Not even because the whispers had gotten worse.It was because everything was loud.The school. The looks. The way people suddenly thought they were entitled to opinions about my life. About her.About us.I tossed my keys on the counter and stood there for a second, staring at nothing. My mom was still at work, my dad was probably in the garage at home, and the house felt too quiet in the wrong way.My phone buzzed in my pocket.Jessa.I smiled before I even opened it.You survive the day?I typed back:Barely. You?Three dots appeared.I’m okay. Just… tired of people.Yeah. Same.I stared at the screen for a second, then typed before I could overthink it:Want me to come over?There was a pause. Long enough that I wondered if I’d said something wrong.Then:I’d really like that.Decision made.⸻The drive to her house felt

Chapter: Chapter 212JessaMonday morning felt… different.Not in a fireworks, everything-is-magical kind of way. More like the air had shifted just enough that I noticed it when I stepped outside.The sky was gray-blue and cool, fall hanging heavy in the air. I pulled my jacket a little tighter around myself while I waited for Mariah’s car, my stomach doing that annoying mix of fluttery and nervous it had apparently decided was my new personality.Homecoming was over.The game was over.Benny’s was over.But the school?The school was still the school.I knew that.Mariah pulled up, leaning across the seat to shove the door open for me. “Good morning, celebrity.”I snorted as I climbed in. “Do not start.”She grinned. “I’m not starting anything. The school already did.”That familiar knot tightened in my stomach, but I kept my face neutral. “How bad?”“Eh,” she said, pulling out of the driveway. “Not horrible. Not great. You know. People.”People.That said everything.We drove the rest of the way in com

Chapter: Chapter 212JessaBenny’s was loud in that warm, messy, happy way that only happens after a big win.The windows were fogged up from too many people and too much laughter. Someone had pushed a bunch of tables together, and half the football team was crammed around them, still in jackets and hoodies, still buzzing with adrenaline.Everyone was talking at once.Jackson was in the middle of it, of course—getting slapped on the back, getting his crown stolen and put on someone else’s head, getting it stolen back. Mariah sat beside him, pretending she was annoyed while absolutely glowing.I watched them for a second and smiled.Then I felt Noah’s hand find mine under the table.Just like that. Natural. Easy.My heart still hadn’t figured out how to act normal around him.“So,” Mariah said, leaning across the table, “I vote we officially declare this the best homecoming game in Ridgeville history.”“Only because we won,” someone said.“Details,” she replied.Everyone laughed.Food came.

Breaking The Ice Between Us
Four years ago, Harper Lane swore she’d never fall for a hockey player—especially not him.
Logan Shaw was everything she promised herself to avoid: arrogant, talented, and allergic to anything resembling feelings. Back in freshman year, he was the rising star of Hartwell University’s hockey team. She was the quiet girl who saw through the charm and walked away before he could bruise her pride.
Now it’s senior year, and Logan is co-captain of the team, living in the infamous Ice House where parties, hookups, and rivalry rule. He’s got NHL scouts watching, his best friend as captain, and a reputation that keeps him safely unattached. He likes it that way—until Harper steps back into his world, no longer the shy girl he remembers.
She’s confident, smart, and infuriatingly composed—President of her sorority and laser-focused on grad school. Harper doesn’t have time for Logan’s games. But when campus tradition forces their worlds to collide, the line between old tension and new desire starts to melt.
What begins as banter and rivalry turns into something that neither of them planned—and something Logan isn’t sure he deserves. Because breaking the ice between them means letting her see the cracks underneath the surface.
And Harper knows that once she lets him in, there’s no going back.
It’s the last year, the last chance, and maybe, just maybe, the last time they can pretend not to care.

No carefully curated distance.Just Logan, standing in my doorway with that look on his face—like he’d walked in ready to get torn apart and decided he deserved it.And I did tear into him. A little. Not enough. Not the way I could have.Because the second he said I’m scared, something in me shifted.Not softened. Not forgave.Shifted.Like my body remembered that he’s not only a hockey player and a headline and a set of dumb decisions. He’s a person with a pulse. With fear. With something complicated behind his eyes that isn’t arrogance.I press my palm to my chest, like I can physically hold my heart still.It doesn’t help.The house is still buzzing—someone laughs on

No sudden clarity. No perfect moment.Just the same pressure in my chest and the same thought I’ve been trying to outrun for weeks:If I don’t go now, I’m going to lose her.I grab my keys and leave before I can talk myself out of it.⸻The drive is too short and too long at the same time.Every red light feels like a chance to bail.

The Cursed Alpha’s Wolfless Omega
Elara has spent her entire life as nothing more than a shadow in the Bloodfang Pack.
Born wolfless, she is considered cursed, lower than even the weakest omega. Beaten down, starved, and treated as a slave, her only goal is survival. Until the night she learns the unthinkable—she’s to be traded to a rival pack as part of a ruthless bargain.
Alpha Kael of the Ironhide Pack is feared across the territories. Known for his unmatched strength and merciless rule, he is whispered about like a monster from the old tales. But Kael hides a secret of his own: he is cursed. His wolf is a savage, uncontrollable beast, and only a mate strong enough to bear his bloodline can break the darkness threatening to consume him.
When Kael claims Elara, it’s not for love or kindness—it’s for power, for heirs, and for his pack’s survival.
Torn from the only home she’s ever known, Elara enters a world even more dangerous than the one she left behind. Surrounded by enemies, she must navigate Kael’s harsh court, where loyalty is earned through blood and betrayal lurks in every shadow.
But Kael is nothing like Garrick, and Elara soon realizes there is more to the feared Alpha than his brutal reputation. Underneath his icy control lies a man fighting against his curse—and fighting against the unexpected pull he feels toward the fragile, defiant omega he claimed.
She was supposed to be a tool.
He was supposed to be her captor.
But when destiny intertwines their fates, Elara and Kael must decide whether their bond will be their salvation… or their destruction.
The Cursed Alpha’s Wolfless Omega is a dark, slow-burn, fated-mates romance filled with danger, passion, and redemption.

Chapter: Chapter 123KaelThe first horn blast reaches my bones before it reaches my ears.It rolls through the fortress like a warning meant for the stone itself—low, urgent, unmistakable. Not a drill. Not a routine shift. The kind of call that means blood has already been spilled somewhere beyond these walls.I’m on my feet before the last echo fades, pulling on boots, buckling my belt, reaching for the blade that feels like an extension of my hand at this point. Elara is sitting upright in bed, eyes wide, one hand instinctively over her stomach.I hate that she has learned fear in this place.I hate it more that she has learned to hide it.“What is it?” she asks, voice steady even as her scent sharpens with worry.I cross the room in two strides and cup her face, forcing myself to slow, to ground her with something solid.“Stay here,” I tell her. “Don’t open the door for anyone but me.”Her chin lifts. “Kael—”“Elara.” I keep my voice firm, not unkind. “This is not the time to argue.”Her eyes flick to

Even in sleep, he isn’t truly resting. His wolf never does.Mine stirs the moment my eyes open.Wrong.The word isn’t fear. It’s… awareness. Like a pressure change before a storm.“I know,” I whisper, keeping my voice low so I don’t wake him. My hand drifts to my stomach, to the quiet, steady warmth there. “I feel it too.”The room is dim, ward-lights glowing faintly in the stone. This is the third room in two days. I’ve stopped trying to remember the paths between them. Kael says that’s the point.I ease out of his arms carefully. He doesn’t wake, but his hand tightens for a moment like his body notices the absence before his mind does.I move to the window and look out.The inner courtyard is quiet. Too quiet.Guards are there, of course. Always

The map on the table is covered in fresh markings now. Not borders.Weaknesses.“They were never here to attack,” Ronin says. “They were mapping. Routes. Wards. Guard changes. The old tunnel under the west cliff is compromised.”I stare at the mark he’s made there.“That tunnel was sealed before my father’s time,” I say.“They reopened it from the outside,” Lucian answers grimly. “Or tried to.

When someone manages to get that close to the Alpha’s mate inside a locked-down fortress, you don’t ask if there are others.You assume there are.I leave two guards with the body and move fast, boots echoing through corridors I know like my own bones. The keep has a rhythm. It always has. Tonight, it’s off-beat.“Seal the east and south service passages,” I bark to a captain as I pass. “No one in or out without my mark.”“Yes, Beta!”I hate that title sometimes. It means I’m always the one counting doors and bodies while Kael carries the weight of the world. But this—this is my kind of war.Quiet. Close.
