Chapter: I'm OutsidePOV: EdmondThe dinner was Gramps’ idea. A formal thing, announced with the air of someone bestowing a gift rather than issuing a command. A family dinner, he had said.“To present Alexia properly. To make things official.”I had sat across from him in his study and thought about eleven different ways to refuse and discarded all of them, because refusing meant a confrontation I wasn’t ready to have tonight.I was picking my battles with the strategic patience of a man who intended to win the war even if he conceded a few evenings.So I sat at the head of the table in my own dining room while Gramps occupied the other end like a king who had temporarily misplaced his throne.Alexia sat to my right in a dress that cost more than most people’s monthly rent, performing the role of radiant fiancée with the commitment of someone who had been rehearsing this specific scene her entire life.She touched my arm twice. The first time I looked at her hand and said nothing. The second time I moved

Chapter: Jason Is ImprovingPOV: SelinaI didn’t sleep well that night.I lay on my back staring at the ceiling with the restlessness of someone whose body was tired but whose mind had decided sleep was an optional activity, replaying the afternoon in the specific cruel way that memories do when they know they have you cornered.The way he had crouched beside me on the pavement without hesitation. The way he had reorganized the bags like he had been carrying my groceries his entire life.The way he had argued, completely sincerely, for nearly four minutes about why one shop’s tomatoes were categorically superior to another shop’s tomatoes, like this was important information, like this was a hill worth dying on.The way he had laughed when I told him he was being ridiculous.I hadn’t heard him laugh in weeks. I hadn’t realized how much I had been carrying the absence of that sound until it came back and something in me exhaled for the first time since everything fell apart.I turned onto my side and pressed my f

Chapter: Let Him Fight For ItPOV; SelinaI knew his car.That was the first problem.We have been meeting secrets for so long that I knew the sound of the engine before it rounded the corner, knew the particular way it slowed on Creston Avenue without fully stopping.I knew the exact window of time in which I should not look up from my phone if I wanted to preserve any version of the dignity I was trying to maintain.I looked up every time, every single time, without fail, like my body had made an agreement with itself that had nothing to do with my better judgment.And every time I caught the tail end of his car moving away down the street, something in my chest did that thing, that specific painful thing, that I had stopped pretending was anything other than what it was.I missed him with a completeness that frightened me. Not the missing you feel for something gone.The missing you feel for something present and unreachable, something close enough to see and touch and completely forbidden, which was its own pa

Chapter: I Want YouPOV: SelinaThe leather of the backseat was cool against my back as she settled her weight onto my lap. Her skirt had ridden up, I noticed this the way I notice weather, immediate and total, and the bare skin of her thighs pressed against the fabric of my trousers."Eddie," she breathed, and her voice had lost its composure, the careful architecture of it crumbling. "Someone could see.""The windows are tinted.""That's not..."I kissed her again before she could finish. Harder this time. Her mouth opened under mine and the sound she made, half relief, half hunger, travelled down my spine and settled low.Her fingers found their way into my hair, gripping, pulling just enough to register as pleasure with an edge. The car had grown warm, or we had, and the windows were beginning to fog in slow circles from the edges inward."I've been losing my mind," I said against her mouth. "Every day. Every single day without you.""Me too." The words came out fractured. "I thought it would get eas

Chapter: Damn It!POV: Edmond"What did you tell him?""That things were moving forward." She opened her eyes and looked at me sideways, that look she had, the one that landed somewhere in the center of my chest."It wasn't a lie." I looked at her for a moment."No," I said."It wasn't a lie, and it’s not the truth either."“He’s not strong enough to handle the truth. If he knows we are no longer together, he may be forced to withdraw into his shell and slow down his recovery. I can’t bear it if his treatment fails again. I need him to recover faster so we can get back out inheritance,” she stated firmly.“He will be fine, Lina. I will not let anything stop his healing progress, I won’t ...”“Thats the problem, Eddie. He trust you so much and it’s going to break his heart when he finds out the truth. I can’t let him find out, that’s why I need you to stay away from us. If you keep coming here and your grandfather finds out about your secret visits, we’ll get in trouble again, and this time, Jason will

Chapter: The MarketPOV: EdmondSaturday was supposed to be simple. I had a full morning of calls scheduled, a lunch with the board that had been rearranged three times and could not reasonably be rearranged a fourth, and an afternoon that belonged entirely to the stack of contracts sitting on my desk judging me quietly every time I walked past.I knew Selina went to the farmer's market on Saturdays.Not the large one downtown that everyone knew about. The smaller one on Whitfield Street, three blocks from her building, the one that set up between the old library and the dry cleaner with the faded yellow sign.She had mentioned it once, months ago, in a conversation that had no reason to stick in my memory as firmly as it had. She had said the tomatoes there were the only ones worth buying in this city, and she had said it with the particular conviction she reserved for things she considered non-negotiable.I had cancelled the lunch with the board by nine-thirty. I told Marcus it was a conflict. He had l

Prince Xander's Timid Mate
Heather was found around the packs borders when she was just eight years old. She was found with nothing but a name tag on her wrist that says Heather Snow. She was treated like an outcast because no one knows her background and family history.
On her sixteenth birthday, a ceremony was held in the pack for everyone in her age bracket. It was supposed to be the night when they all shift for the first time and have their first run in the woods with the rest of the pack. This particular ceremony was even more important because the future Alpha of the Demon Wolf Pack was supposed to shift on that very night, so everyone important like the Alpha and other elites were present.
Unfortunately, Heather could not shift that night, while everyone shifted and had a fun night. She was made to sleep in the stables as punishment for being a wolfless omega. They thought she is a weak omega because she couldn't shift, they have no idea that she shifted on her fourteenth birthday, which is two years before her peers. She had to keep it a secret because shifting so early was considered a taboo, besides, her wolf is quite different from the rest, it has a snow white fur, just like the rogues.
What happens when Heather finds out that she is mated to the Alpha of the Demon wolf pack, the same Alpha that bullies and Demeans her every fucking day. Will she forgive him and accept the bond?
Will he get rid of his chosen mate Mira and accept the bond with his true mate Heather?
Find out what happens when the Lycan prince Xander shows up mysteriously and finds his mate being bullied and abused by an ordinary Alpha.

Chapter: Epilogue POV: Heather“I’ll be your sister, Alexis. I’ll love you like Alexia did and I will always look out for you, just like she did. I have no family and neither do you, so we can both look out for each other and protect each other.” I told him, smiling up at him hoping he would accept my offer. Taking care of her brother and always looking out for him is the only way I can honor her memory and prove to her that she is still my best friend, even in death. Doing this would ease my conscience and make me forgive myself a little for all the terrible things I’ve done.“That would be perfect, Heath. I’ll be a good big brother, I promise.” He responded excitedly, pulling me in for a hug. I sobbed in his arms and I felt my heart getting lighter as I unburdened the load weighing on my chest. After a few minutes in his arms, he helped me wipe off my tears like Richard used to do for me when we were kids. I smiled at the gesture, loving him like a brother already.“And lest I forget, my first duty a

Chapter: Alexia Is DeadPOV: Heather“Please, Xan, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to defy your orders, I just wanted to help my mom, I thought she had changed. I honestly thought she would realize that I love her and accept me as her family. I wanted her to be the mom I used to know, I wanted the Marie who stood by me and protected me from bullies in the pack house. I never knew she hated me that much, I never thought she would try to kill me.” I sobbed, trying to get him to at least look at my face. But he wouldn’t spare me a glance because he is still pissed off at me.He was so scared when he heard the gunshot, and felt the pain in his heart. He thought he’d lost me and that really scared him. The truth is, if he had come in one minute later, I’m not sure I would have survived it. I had already passed out when they arrived, and Alexia was lying in a pool of blood, unable to help me because Leon shot her right after he shot me. This time he did not use the poison that was used before because I just administered

Chapter: She Was ShotPOV: XanderI started suspecting Leon after Lewis was killed by the rogues. Of all my friends, he is the only one who has not done anything suspicious since all this started. He is always quick to support me and as far as I’m concerned, he has been loyal to me from the beginning. He is my beta, and yes, I expect him to be loyal, but not this loyal. Not to the point where he never questions my decision or even challenges my wrong choices. He just lets me do whatever I please, whether good or bad, he just doesn’t care.When I first accused Alexis of being a traitor, he did everything he could to convince me that he was not working with my enemies. He was so agitated and he wouldn’t stop trying to prove his innocence to me, not even when I was branded a trait by my own father. Alexis stayed close by and he offered to help me find the trait if I would let him. He claimed he was framed by someone in this house and he wanted to find out who had tried to frame him.I didn’t really trust him

Chapter: The Royal Proclamation POV: XanderHe felt it the moment it happened, he felt his sister's pain the moment she was shot and he screamed in pain, holding his heart as if he were the victim. We were in my dad's office, going through the videos one after the other and compiling the names of the different parts that betrayed the kingdom. At first, Dad didn’t want to believe it, he nearly kicked me out of his office and he called me a bloody liar and a traitor. We argued, and fought, and then argued some more before he finally agreed to see the evidence that I claim to have against his precious lycan royals that he considers family.It took a few minutes to sort out the videos because they were all jumbled up on my system. While I sorted out the videos, Dad called a few lycans from each family to his office, and he called in the committee he had put together to judge Heather and I. He wanted them to see that he was not a part of this baseless accusation, and he wanted them to get more points to use against me in

Chapter: ShotPOV: Heather“What the hell are you doing?” I asked her furiously, jerking her so hard to get her to snap out of it. Her eyes came back to normal and she glared furiously at me, turning with her lycan speed to threaten me with her look.“Are you fucking insane, Heather?Do you have a death wish?Can’t you smell the danger lurking in the dark, can’t you see that we are not supposed to be here?You should have let me speak with Xander, we need his help to get out of here?” She yelled at my face. More like crying out in frustration because she doesn’t want to be here and I’m forcing her to stay with me.“I won’t let you ruin this for me because I warned you to stay back but you wouldn’t listen to me. Now I’m here already, and there is no going back. I don’t know if our enemies are close by, but ill be damn if I let you keep me away from my mom for one more minute. You stood up for your brother when he needed you, now it’s time for me to save my mom.” I yelled in her face, glaring angrily

Chapter: Suddenly Feeling ScaredPOV: Heather“How is she, why won’t she come along with you?” I asked him the moment he picked up my call. Alexia was busy checking around the house, searching for explosives or something. She did not see me going through my phone, but when she heard my voice she looked up immediately and she came running towards me, looking so shocked.“What the hell are you doing?” She yelled at me, trying to snatch my phone from me, but I put out my hand, stopping her from reaching for my phone. I gave her a look that said,“Calm down, I know what I’m doing.” She seemed to get the point, and she stood still, folding her hands on her chest. She did not try to take my phone again, but I could tell that she was still not comfortable with my decision. I ignored her and kept talking to Leon, telling him how grateful I was that he chose to look out for me. He was never this nice to me, I wonder what I did to make him like me this much. I guess he just wanted to take his time and get to know the real me b
