Chapter: 187AVAIt’s been three days since the incident, three days of dreams I can’t piece together. Three nights of visions that slip through my fingers the moment I wake. Voices. Screams. The same chant over and over. But this time, it's not clearer. Scenes of Selene. Begging. Pleading to be forgiven. Her voice filled with desperation. And then, water. She’s drowning, her body going still, lifeless.I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that I’m seeing this, or the fact that I can’t make sense of why it’s happening to me. The visions blur like smoke, and yet they feel too real to dismiss.I Meanwhile, Nicklaus’s lawyer is still busy hammering out stipulations on the contract. Legal jargon and terms that don’t make my head ache any less. And still, i have to keep showing up at work, plastering on a face, pretending Fernando doesn’t want me six feet under. Afterall they say, Fear is a murderer with patience; awareness just pulls the trigger faster.I push my way through the stairs and the busy bo

Chapter: 186AVAI don’t know why I feel so overly confident when my idea is stupid. Seriously, how does going to a place where someone died years ago solve anything?Nicklaus’ hand closes around mine as he leads me to the car I came with. His jaw is tight, but his grip, steady, grounding.He glances at me, voice that speaks disbelief. “You’re quite a handful… How the hell did you even find Georgia and convince her to bring you here?”I slide into the passenger seat, buckling up like I own the ride. “You told me her phone number was in the envelope, so I sorted it out.”His brows snap together. “And stole my phone? What are you now, a thief?”I smirk at his poor attempt at humor, leaning back. “You weren’t going to tell me about it. A girl’s gotta do what she’s gotta do.” I roll my eyes for good measure.I roll my eyes, smirking at him. “You’re so damn lucky you’ve got my heart. And luckier still that I’m not the Ava you first met, because trust me, I would’ve dumped your ass, mate or not.”He sho

Chapter: 185AVAMy heart is still thumping from the piece I just put together, when suddenly, there’s a rustle at the door.I freeze.Georgia’s eyes snap to mine, wide and questioning.“I didn’t bring anybody, I swear,” I whisper, my throat dry.The handle twists, the door creaks open, and I almost scream at the top of my lungs.Nicklaus. Busted."Ava?"Y’know that moment when you’re staring at someone you love, but it suddenly hits you he might actually be a murderer? Yeah, that’s me right now—hands clammy, heart racing, eyes desperate for an answer."Leave us." His eyes don’t leave mine, but I know he’s talking to Georgia.Georgia gulps, gives me one last nervous glance, and slips out, the door clicking shut behind her. Now it’s just me and him.My heart keeps screaming he’s my Nicklaus, but my brain won’t stop whispering the odds are stacked against him.One step. Two steps. I inch back."Please," my voice cracks, "tell me you didn’t do it."He swallows hard, his gaze still pinned on me. The s

Chapter: 184AVAYou know that feeling when the air gets punched right out of your lungs? Yeah, that’s me right now. Selene. The name stares back at me from the screen like it’s laughing at me, daring me to connect the dots.It’s wild, how your brain kicks into overdrive when you’re chasing secrets. I swear I feel almost superhuman, every detail clearer, every clue glowing brighter, as if the universe itself wants me to solve the mystery my mate refuses to tell me.Georgia clicks on the girl’s profile picture, and my stomach knots. It’s her, the same blonde. They definitely talked, but the chat history is wiped clean, Nicklaus must have deleted it.Sure, this feels like a crumb of evidence that they talked, but crumbs won’t cut it. I need more. I need something solid, concrete, something that tells me what really went down. A clue. A hint. A fight. Anything that can drag me closer to cracking this wide open.“So, what do we do now?” I ask, watching Georgia’s face stay locked on the screen. Her fin

Chapter: 183AVAMy head’s a fucking mess. You know that feeling when someone dumps a bucket of ice over you? Yeah—that’s me right now. My chest is tight, my thoughts are spiraling, and all I can see is that damn picture. Part of me wants to call Fernando and demand why the hell he sent it, and the other part wants to hunt down Nicklaus and shove it in his face.And what do you even do when your mate shuts you out right after an intense make-out? Cry behind closed doors? Beg to be seen? Beg to be heard?Not me. That’s not fucking me.I’ve got one plan and one plan only: find Georgia.I step into the bathroom, run a warm bath, and let the water cascade down my body. If only it could seep into my chest and wash away the hurt lodged there.I hate what Nicklaus is turning me into, a vulnerable, weak mess. I used to be strong. I used to kick ass. I was always the girl who dished out the silent treatment, dumped stupid assholes, and walked away from shitty relationships without blinking.But right now?

Chapter: 182AVANicklaus presses a firm kiss against my forehead, lingering like he’s trying to erase the thought before it roots too deep. His hand slips behind my head, keeping me tucked against his chest.“Don’t do this to yourself now,” he murmurs, voice low and rough with something I can’t quite place. “You’re drained, Ava. I won’t let you dig into old wounds when your body’s begging for peace.”His thumb traces along my jaw, gentle but deliberate, tilting my face until his eyes catch mine. “Rest first. Eat. Breathe. Let me carry the weight of the past for now.”Before I can argue, his lips brush my temple, warm and lingering, his arms wrapping tighter around me like he dares me to push for more.I shove away from him, standing so fast the blanket slips off my shoulders. Nicklaus moves like he’s about to reach for me again, to pull me back into his iron grip, but I step out of range before he can pin me down. My pulse is hammering, and yeah, maybe I’m acting childish, but screw it—I’m alread

Bound By A Dare, Rejected By The Alpha
"You're going to take it, aren't you, little lamb?" Dominic's voice is low, teasing, dark. A hand grips my throat, just enough to make me gasp, make my pulse hammer beneath his fingertips.
I whimper as Dominic's fingers slide between my thighs, teasing, parting, finding me already soaked. "Fuck," he groans, rubbing slow, torturous circles over my clit. "She's dripping. You feel that, Ash?"
My body trembles, caught between pleasure so intense it borders on pain.
"Cum for us, little lamb," Dominic commands.
****
Caught between two brothers... One my best friend, the other my deepest desire.
Dominic was everything I dreamed of-hot, charming, and completely unattainable. Especially with a girl like Cassie already by his side.
Then there was Ashton-my childhood best friend, my safe haven, the one who had always been there.
But one reckless dare changed everything.
The night I was dared to kiss the Alpha, marks the beginning of my ruin. And just when I thought things couldn't get more complicated, Ashton confessed his feelings for me.
Now, I'm trapped between two brothers-one who's always been my heart, and one who might just break it.
How do you choose between love and desire when both could destroy you?

Chapter: 141Candace's POV This man's presence fills the room before my mind even catches up to what I’m seeing.Xylus.The new Alpha. The man I’ve spent the last twelve hours cursing to hell and back. The same man who, apparently, thinks he can order people out of their homes like he’s sweeping crumbs off a table. The same man who demanded everyone attend pack training like we’re suddenly soldiers in his private army.And the same man whose face… Holy shit.I blink hard once, twice because my brain refuses to accept the image in front of me.He looks exactly... exactly... like the man in one of my portraits. The same stone-cut jaw, same intensity in the eyes, same broad shoulders and the same dark, slightly messy hair that looks like he’s been running his hand through it all night. This isn’t possible.I painted that portrait weeks ago. From a dream. Not from real life. Not from someone I’d ever met. Dreams don’t walk into your room as living, breathing, annoyingly handsome disasters.But he’s

Chapter: 140Candance The knocking starts like whoever's outside is trying to break the damn door down.Bang. Bang. Bang."Go away," I groan, rolling over and shoving my face deeper into my pillow. Can they just let me exist? Seriously. Death would be quieter than this crap.The banging gets even louder. Of course it does. I just had one of the best dreams of my life, and this dipshit had to ruin it."Candace! Open up! You're late!" Kristen's voice tears through the door like a chainsaw.Right. Her.I should've known. Aside from my now late father (may his soul rest in perpetual chaos), the only other human deranged enough to bother me this early is my best friend Kristen. The same Kristen who has never heard of privacy, boundaries, or knocking like a normal person. All sarcasm fully intended.I peel myself out of bed like a dehydrated worm and stomp toward the door. My hair is a full-blown menace, curls shooting out in every direction like angry vines. Do I care? Absolutely not. I pull the door

Chapter: 139DominicIs there anything more exciting than the thrill of an engagement night? I actually wish she chose me... even though I'm so fucking jealous. I keep telling myself not to be jealous, but why wouldn't I be? It could have been Ashton. He was her best friend, and he got to be her mate... while I was the jerk who rejected her the moment the Moon Goddess announced her as mine.Ashton deciding to leave the pack makes me panic. Yeah, I'm worried. He claims he isn't compatible with Rosie... but fuck that. I feel like he understands her more than my stupid, jerky self ever could. And I just hope I don't fucking screw this up again.Mom's death still hangs over me, but I need Rosie. As my Luna. To rule this pack beside me. The Shadow Pack is merged with ours now... and Xylus is the Alpha of their side.Birthday is supposed to come with bliss, but I take the ulterior motive to make her mine... for good. I want to make this step, this big, terrifying, beautiful step.Everything is planned.

Chapter: 138ROSIEEveryone deserves a happy ending... but mine feels like it's crashing straight into tragedy. Luna Sarah is gone. Ashton has left the pack. And I'm left with just Dominic and Xylus.When Dominic finds out Ashton left... he doesn't react the way I expected. He doesn't panic. He doesn't ask anyone to go after him.He just says, "It's his choice. If leaving gives him peace, then I'll support him."And I don't know if I'm the selfish one here... because I miss him. Even though the bond is gone, even though everything changed... Ashton was the only true friend I had.It's Dominic's birthday today. But with Luna Sarah's mourning still going on, he says he doesn't want any celebration. He doesn't want no parties and visitors. No one stepping foot in the pack house.I'm banned too... well, not banned, but politely told not to come over unless it's for dinner.Which is basically the only normal routine left between us.But even if he said he doesn't want a birthday... I'm still baking him

Chapter: 137ROSIEIt's been a week since the entire incident. I'm still trying to get used to my daily life, but something feels off. I don't know what's wrong exactly... but for some reason, Ashton doesn't want to talk to me.He's always avoiding me. He always says he's busy, always rushing somewhere, always pretending he has something urgent to do.But I'm not stupid. I feel it.Something is up with him... and he's hiding it with the same excuse every time... "I'm busy."Did I suddenly become a plague after becoming a Celestial wolf?For fuck's sake... even if I was a plague or a deformed bunny, I was once his mate.We kissed, shared a bond... had sex...I just can't wrap my head around it anymore.And to stay sane, I bury myself in unnecessary work.Dominic still talks to me, but even with that... there's this fear in the back of my mind that one day he'll wake up and decide he's "too busy" too.He's the Alpha, if he pulls away, what am I supposed to say?I'm honestly obsessed with the flower

Chapter: 136ROSIEIt's a full house again. Xylus has successfully transformed my room back to what it was before, except for a few of my favorite items that were burnt. Some things were recovered, some weren't.It's over. Like... it's fucking over. That joy hits me again, that feeling you get when you finally know you actually killed the man who destroyed your home. The man who ripped your joy away.The man who denied you the chance to experience what childhood really is... what it means to have parents.Xylus's normal life was robbed because of him too.He was forced to become a young parent at an age when he should've still been living freely.And honestly... my biggest worry is him.He has never had a life outside of taking care of me.It's been three days since I woke up and realized I slept for three whole days.Everything feels normal now... aside from the fact that Xylus is still hovering over me and stuffing me with his delicious pancakes.I missed this..And now it feels like my life is t

Chapter: 121~ DAMON ~I pull her closer, holding her against me as she lies peacefully in my arms. I couldn't ask for a more perfect mate. She's hot, sexy, dangerous, everything I could have ever wanted.Her head rests under my collarbone, her hair loose across my chest, smelling so nice. One of her hands lazily drifts over my bare chest, her fingertips tracing absent-minded circles against my skin. Every now and then her nails scrape lightly against my flesh, sending tiny sparks racing down my spine. She's half asleep. I know.So..." she murmurs, her voice thick with sleep. "Tell me about training today."I sigh, my voice already hoarse with sleep. Immediately, Liam's face flashes through my mind. I let the silence stretch for a second, staring at the ceiling. The question is easy, but the answer isn't.Tell her. Don't tell her. Tell her. Don't."Well, it was nothing much. Just the usual, and..." I hesitate.I contemplate whether I should tell her about Liam's behavior. I don't want to get her

Chapter: 120~ DAMON ~I push open the door to my room, hell, mistake to our room, expecting to find Laia resting like I told her to. Instead, I’m greeted by a sight that stops me dead in my tracks.Fuck me. Laia is sprawled across our bed like a siren luring sailors to their death... Her body is laid out temptingly, legs crossed at the ankles, one hand resting lazily on the sheets beside her, the other slowly trailing over her own thigh. She’s wearing black lingerie, tiny lace that barely covers anything, the dark straps hugging her curves, pushing her breasts up and making her look like like a goddess sent solely to ruin my self-control.Hell… she looks like a fucking sexy, dangerous dominatrix.My cock instantly hardens, straining painfully against my pants as heat floods my entire body. All the memories from last night come rushing back, and now this?I close the door behind me with a slow click, my eyes devouring every inch of her.“You’re supposed to be resting, baby girl,” I say, my voice h

Chapter: 119~ DAMON ~Pack training is something I can’t skip. I don’t know when Xaden plans to attack, but when he does, I want my pack to be ready to rip him apart.Laia’s safe at home, even though she put up one hell of a fight about coming with me. I refused. After last night… fuck, she needs rest. It was indeed a wild night, and I'm still surprised I managed to sleep peacefully through it all without any nightmares or sudden wake-ups. I took her hard, over and over, until her voice was hoarse from screaming my name and her thighs trembled uncontrollably around my waist. Her tight little pussy was so swollen and used by the time I finally let her sleep, legs barely able to close.I can still taste her on my tongue. Still feel the way her nails clawed down my back as she begged me to go deeper, to ruin her. My cock twitches at the memory, already half-hard again just thinking about how soaked and desperate she got for me. Her legs must be aching like hell right now, but even that thought onl

Chapter: 118~ LAIA ~My mornings usually begin with a routine, either working out or joining the pack runs. Then it's straight to the bathroom for a shower and brushing my teeth before breakfast.But hell yeah, Damon is already corrupting me. These days, I roll out of bed and head straight for breakfast.One of the pack maids has already set the food out on the dining table. I'm dressed in one of Damon's shirts and a pair of pajama shorts, which he teased me about earlier. According to him, they make me look tiny.There's no denying the fact that he's much bigger than I am, and it's not my fault his clothes look ridiculously oversized on me.Damon takes the seat beside me, sliding a plate in front of me before I can even reach for the serving dishes.The dining table was already set with a feast, fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, sausages, buttered toast, golden hash browns, and a platter of fresh berries. A pitcher of orange juice sat in the center beside a steaming pot of coffee.The wafting

Chapter: 117~ LAIA ~His hands rise to cup my cheeks, gently tipping my chin upward until I'm forced to meet his gaze. My silver eyes lock with his gray ones.Immediately, I know something is bothering him. His expression softens, the playful teasing from moments ago fading away. It's strange how easy he is to read now. Before, he always wore that blank, unreadable mask. "Laia," he begins quietly. "I don't want to rush you."My heart squeezes. "But I can't wait to mark you as mine." The words aren't possessive or demanding. If anything, they sound painfully honest."I know you're still recovering from Cael's mark," he continues, his thumb brushing softly across my cheek. "And it'd be selfish of me to ask for that right now. I know that."His jaw tightens. "But it's driving us insane."A humorless chuckle escapes him. "Maddox is restless. He's pacing nonstop, pushing against every bit of control I have." His eyes narrows with frustration. "Some days I worry he might lose that control."His grip

Chapter: 116~ LAIA ~I wake up pressed tightly against Damon, his strong arm wrapped possessively around my chest, holding me close like he never wants to let go. His soft, steady snores rumble gently against me, vibrating against my cheek.Morning light filter spills through the curtains, casting a warm, golden glow across the room.A small smile tugs at my lips. Last night had been wild, intense and unforgettable. My body is deliciously sore, especially between my legs, a sweet ache that reminds me exactly where Damon had been for so long.I bite my lip, a rush of warmth flooding through me. Hell, I’ve never been more excited in my entire life than the moment I found out we were mates.I never thought the Moon Goddess would give me a second chance mate. I never thought my bond with Cael would break. And I definitely never imagined that mate would be Damon.Not that I hadn't wished about it, I had, more times than I'd ever admit. But wishes are one thing, and reality is another.Honestly, a part
