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

Chapter: 031~LAIA~It’s been two days since my heat ends, and I’ve never felt this good. That alone should scare me. I try, really try, to shut myself out from how good it felt. From how right it feels to be in his arms. To have him close. To breathe him in. His scent clings to me like a bad habit I don’t want to quit.But fuck no. That kind of pleasure comes with a price tag, and I already know how this ends, with heartbreak. Again. First Cael. Then Damon.Because the truth I refuse to forget is simple and brutal: someday, the Moon Goddess might gift Damon a second-chance mate. And when that happens, I’ll be discarded like I was never anything at all. So no. Absolutely not.I strangle every emotion trying to grow roots in my chest and grind it into the dirt. Feelings are a luxury I can’t afford.Today is pack training, but Damon insists I stay behind. Says it’s only been two days since my heat, that I need rest. Even though I feel fine, the soreness is gone and my body feels annoyingly perfect.

Chapter: 030~DAMON~I step away from her, my eyes still locked on her silver orbs as I unbuckle my belt, shoving my pants down. My cock springs free, hard, solid. I grip the base, giving it a slow stroke while watching the wetness on her thighs, her slick heat calling to me, begging me to take her… to claim.My balls feel heavy, and at this rate I’m going to end up aching if I keep watching her while stroking myself.“This feels so good… my body’s heated… like it’s on fire.” That innocent tone, those soft sounds, tell me how untouched she still is. And fuck… if she’s mated to Cael, why didn’t he sense his mate upcoming heat? Something is wrong with their bond. I can feel it.I spread her legs, positioning myself between them again.“This is going to hurt a little,” I murmur, “but I promise to be gentle.” She nods frantically. I guide myself to her, gasping as I press into her warmth.“Oh, by the Goddess…” Her eyes widen. “I’m so full… I, that’s so big… I can’t,”I hush her, capturing her lips wit

Chapter: 029~DAMON~IFive days later.Maddox is prowling inside my skull, restless and feral. Laia’s scent fills the air, sweet and inviting, driving him mad, driving me mad. I force him down, grit my teeth, breathe through the burn.Lady Marissa, the woman running that damnable We Heat Together, made it clear early on: Laia requested to spend her Heat alone. Her choice. One we’re expected to respect. One I am expected to respect.Even with Maddox pressing hard against my control, raining hell inside my head, demanding I go to her. I don’t because wanting her doesn’t make it my right to take what she didn’t give.It's taking forever, I can only imagine the pain shr would be in, and damn ner for being so stubborn. I tear through the woods, boots skidding over frost and roots, everything blurring except the trail of her scent pulling me forward like a leash wrapped tight around my spine. Sweet. Fevered. Laia.By the time the cabin comes into view, my pulse is roaring in my ears.Unmated males wait

Chapter: 028~LAIA~“Goddess, I miss you, Laia… I can’t sleep at nights. I feel the bond…”Cael’s striking blue eyes are on me. I look at the closed door trying to understand how he even got into the room, but right now he’s sitting at the edge of my bed, his hand warm through the blanket burning my ankle.His scent, oh fuck. I want to live in it. I want to breathe him in.My wolf stirs, awakened by his presence, restless and aching. He’s our mate. And no matter how hard I try to deny it, he makes my whole being ache.“Cael… It’s too late. The Moon Goddess already gave us our chance once…”He moves closer on the bed and reaches out, his fingers brushing lightly beneath my chin, lifting my face. His eyes stay intensely locked on mine. “It’s not too late, Laia… Sweetheart. I’ll mark you. I’ll mate with you, and you’ll be mine. Damon won’t have any claim over you ever again.”I shouldn’t. I can’t. My resolve trembles.I sit up. “You need to leave, Cael… if Damon-,”I don’t get to finish. He grabs me

Chapter: 027~DAMON~It’s been two days since the incident, and Maddox has found a new hobby - watching Laia.We watch how her silver eyes spark when Dr. Bastien finally discharges her, armed with medication and a list of strict recommendations. Maddox barely hears any of it. His attention never leaves her. He watches the way a faint blush creeps up her cheeks when she’s shy, the way her face tightens into a frown whenever something I say makes her uncomfortable. I keep telling him to calm down.But it’s too late for that. This is a full-time job now, juggling pack work while still carving out time to see her.“Are you going to feed me again?” she asks with a teasing smile smile with her lunch in front of her.I nod.She shakes her head. “Hell no, Damon. I’ll feed myself, however I can.”She cuts me off before I can argue, already reaching for the tray.“Touché. Your ego’s wounded,” Maddox teases.I shut him out.“How are you comfortable with your friend being in rehabilitation?” she asks, halfwa

Chapter: 026~Laia~My vision is blurry, my head pounding so badly it feels like thick cobwebs are tangled inside my skull.I force my eyes open, struggling to make sense of anything. The room slowly comes into focus, and it’s wrong. This isn’t the temple. It isn’t my room either.Light spills in, too bright, stinging my eyes. I blink once. Twice.“She’s awake,” a strange voice says.“She’s awake?” Then I hear that familiar deep voice.The room smells strongly of herbs, and it hits me all at once, I’m at the pack doctor’s house.Fuck. I was right. Seris really beat the shit out of me. The arm bar. The stomp to my head.And my arm, fuck, my arm hurts so badly. The pain pulses painfully, and that’s when I notice the thick bandage wrapped around it.“Don’t stress her too much,” the doctor says gently. “I’ll give you both some space. If there’s an emergency, you know where to find me.”My vision is clear now as I take him in, an average-height man, maybe in his forties, calm eyes and practiced movemen

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...

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

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
