Chapter: 152RAFAELThe Moon Goddess knows there's no way to explain how I feel right now. It's rage... pure rage, mixed with confusion and disbelief. It's frustrating. The kind of betrayal you don't expect from someone you love, someone you were willing to stand by no matter what. Someone you trusted.She stabbed me right in the chest, like it meant nothing. No hesitation.Hiding a seven-year-old boy from me?My son?I still can't believe it. I didn't grow up with a loving father. He wasn't there.But I swore to myself, when I had a child, I'd do better. I'd be better. I'd show up. I'd give my kid the life I never had.But instead, I missed everything. His first cry. His first steps. His first words.I missed every damn milestone. His growth. His struggles. His victories. His report cards.All gone. Stolen from me.And now I'm here wondering what he must think of me.Some deadbeat? A stranger? A psychopath?This is so messed up. Over and over again, I keep thinking, what if he doesn't even know I

Chapter: 151NICKLAUSHearing from Lila that Derrick was Rafael's son had me stunned. I mean... Rafael told me himself that he knew the child was his, that he recognized him. But the fact that she manipulated him into believing otherwise? Damn. And I still can't get that scene out of my head, Ava putting on a whole performance, threatening Rafael with emotional damage and a stack of lawsuits. She's such a damn actress and deserves to be awarded an Oscar.I've never seen Rafael that angry, that agitated... like he could burn the whole world down. The moment he mind-linked me, told me to bring my car, I knew something was wrong. I could feel it in his voice.And listening to Lila explain everything... who am I to judge? I've come to realize she's nothing like Linda. She might be her daughter, but she doesn't deserve even a sliver of the pain. And Rafael? I know he wants to make things right. I had completely lost it when Lila told me Ava had been kidnapped too. Knox let out a loud, feral growl.I s

Chapter: 150AVAMy head is heavy, feels like I have a third world war dancing in there. My eyelids are heavy, barely lifting. And when they do... I don't recognize this place."Where am I?"Flashes. Flash by flash. I remember getting a call from Derrick's school... and Jared drugging me.Oh fuck!Nicklaus warned me. But of course, I wanted to play the tough girl... Oh damn it!I'm not tied, surprisingly. I stumble to the door, the same one that had me chained in, and of course, it's locked."Where the fuck am I?" I yell, hoping someone, anyone hears me.The door suddenly swings open, and Jared walks in, he has no shirt on. And fuck all those times I used to drool over him.Now? All I see is a man so evil. A man so vile.But one thing I still don't get, what does he want from Derrick and me?"What do you want, Jared? Or is your name even Jared? I mean, a real mob hides under a façade."I'm staring at him, arms folded across my chest, chin high.I know exactly what's going through his head, he thin

Chapter: 149LILAMy heart is pounding heavily. Thump. Thump. Thump. Derrick is missing... That's the one word that keeps replaying in my head. The one word that's enough to make my heart accelerate this fast.What has happened? How?"This is what we get finally for neglecting our pup. This is karma punishing us," Lola whined painfully.Rafael and Nicklaus stepped out to talk for a bit. My instincts tell me it's something related to the curse eating me... I had been nervous waiting for him to come back, but right now... that's my least concern.I'm more concerned about the fact that my son-our son, Rafael and I's-is missing.How did it happen? I barely have an enemy to pin this on. Ava wasn't the type to go around creating one either. Instead, if there's anyone she had told me had been more of a stalker, it was Nicklaus. And Nicklaus knows better than to kidnap Derrick and use him against Ava.I'm not thinking as I slide into a casual gown... grabbing Rafael's car key that was on the vanity table,

Chapter: 148AVA"You've got such a hot body, I could kill to get you," Jared breathes, his words fanning over my nose as he tugs me closer like I'm some trophy he just scored.I chuckle low, cocking my head. "What? Like you bribed Mr. Brown just to get me off work today?" I ask, voice soaked in sarcasm. "You really pulled strings with the almighty Mr. Brown... just for a few hours of me?"He grins, completely unapologetic. "Ugh, don't act so shocked. At least now I've got you to myself, alone, before Derrick gets out of school and ruins everything."I snort, pulling back slightly. "Oh please. He's seven. You're a grown-ass man acting like you're competing with a kid for my attention.""I am competing." He groans dramatically. "That boy has you wrapped around his finger 24/7.""As he should," I say with a smirk. "He's my son. You? You had to buy me a day off just to play boyfriend."Jared sighs, flopping onto the couch like a man who just lost a war. "Can't believe I'm jealous of a second grader."

Chapter: 147LILAI'm going to die. Die. Three words, short, and cruel. But powerful enough to drown me in dread.Turns out my mom was protecting me all along... even if her version of protection meant breaking Rafael piece by piece. Even if her love wore the face of the villain.It doesn't justify anything. But she loved me, i know that. I was all she had left after he died. All she clung to after Theo left the face of this world.I was young. Naive. Loud-mouthed. But even then, I could see her pain. The way she cried quietly at night. The way she never let me see her fall apart in the daylight.She raised me like a soldier, sent me to the best academies, made sure I could fight, survive, win.Only for all of it to shatter... the moment Rafael knocked on our door.Now, I'm trying to piece together two truths: That she hurt the man I love.And she did it to save me.If the curse consumes me, if my love for Rafael isn't strong enough to fight it, there's a ninety-five percent chance I'll die.What

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: 020ROSIEImmediately Xylus left, sleep didn't come that easy. I've been staring at the ceiling for minutes... My thoughts going several places, Colors, Ashton and Dominic. Dominic, the least I had expected was the sudden outburst from him. He doesn't get to be the one with the anger. He rejected me and yet he was putting up some stupid character that speaks... All attention should be on me.Tomorrow was work, and with the last experience with Cassie, I'm just hoping tomorrow would be something different, that bitch made my first at work so terrible.I shut my eyes close determined to stash away every damn thought away from my head.Grabbing my fluffy teddy bear, I cuddle close, burying my face into the softness like it could somehow squeeze the chaos out of me. I let out a heavy sigh, dragging the duvet over my head like that's going to magically block out reality.The sudden rattling of my window had me startled, I toss the duvet aside. My chest beating rapidly... My voice close to scr

Chapter: 019DOMINIC It hurt. Fucking hurt... even more than I could imagine. I never knew it would be this hard. No one told me it hurt this much. That it could feel as though I have the world, yet I have nothing. That I'm nothing but an empty shell of a man.All I could picture each time was her face... the frown, how heartbroken she felt when I muttered those words. Fuck. I'm screwed. The fact I can't get past it... the fact that I do nothing but watch each time as Ashton parades everywhere with her while I sulk around and pretend I'm in a fucking happy relationship with Cassie-when all I want is her. That petite frame.Don't blame me. I didn't know when this nasty feeling began, but I want her. I want to breathe her in. Have her close to my body, kiss those fucking enticing lips of hers, claim her, and know what it feels like to hear her moan beneath me... listen to her soft, wanton pleas for me to take her.Fuck. Fuck. Fuck and fuck. I'm screwed. Fucking screwed.Ryk, of all people, is fucki

Chapter: 018Rosie's POVIf a pin drops, you'd hear it to show how quiet the dining room was.This was the first time having dinner together since you know... Dominic's rejection. My 18th birthday. I could feel the quiet tension in the air.I didn't just want to remember because the weight of that moment was still pressed heavily on my chest.What made it worse was he was sitting right across me!Hold on.Why wasn't Cassie here yet? She never missed a chance to gloat or be at Dominic's side, and yet tonight, she was absent.Her absence should have made things easier for me, but it didn't. Dominic sat at the head of the table, his shoulders broad, his face unreadable. He hasn't spared me a glance.What was I expecting? It was better that way rather than stealing glances and sending mixed signals.But why did it hurt?I couldn't help but notice how his hands moulded into fists against the table, his jaw locked so tight.Why did he seem angry? Off? Weird?Like he was struggling. STOP ROSIE!Xylus,

Chapter: 017DOMINIC'S POVHow do I explain how insufferable this pain was?My palms pressed into the desk, sweat gathered at my temples, and my breathed slowed. I knew that rejecting Rosie would be the worst decision of my life, but I had done it to protect her. It wasn't enough reason to stop my wolf from tearing me apart for it."You let her go, and now you watch another wolf step, take chances." Ryk snarled. Even though he knew the 'wolf' was my brother.I clutched my fists. "Don't say another word." I muttered. Ryk wasn't going to let this go. I had denied him our mate, and now I was going to mentally suffer as my punishment. It looked like Rosie had slipped further away, watching my brother, Ashton, hover around her like he was her mate.I didn't know how to explain the feeling. He deserved her, actually. The image of Rosie and Ashton laughing together earlier had burned itself into my brain.For the sake of being brothers, I had held myself back from storming over and ripping his throat

Chapter: 016DOMINIC'S POVThe moonlight shined in through the window, casting shadows across my room. I sat at the edge of my bed, my head cradled in my hands.Sleep had become a fleeting memory, something distant and almost mythical. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her. RosieHer laugh. Her smile. Her chuckling.Memories of Rosie haunted me, clawing at my mind with every breath I took."You did this." Ryk growled, his voice echoing in my head. "You threw her away. You let her go."I didn't want to remember my rejection to her because Ryk had never stopped talking about it since it happened. I rubbed my hands down my face, trying to silence him. Ryk had been restless since I rejected her.It didn't matter to him that I did it to protect her. To keep her away from the chaos of my life, from the danger that lingered in every shadow. Ryk didn't care. He only knew she was ours, and I'd torn us apart."I don't want to hear it." I whispered under my breath, though I knew it was pointless. Ryk was

Chapter: 014Xylus' POVI had to get Dominic out. ASAP.His eyes were no longer that light, almost-golden green. Now they were darker-richer. Emerald, sharp and dangerous. That shift alone told me everything I needed to know. If I didn't get him out of here, now, I wouldn't be able to save my sister. Or his brother. Or anyone else who got in his way.I moved fast, grabbing his arm without a word and dragging him out onto the front porch. My hand fumbled behind me for the lock. Click. Just in case. Because things were about to go sideways, and I wasn't taking any chances."Dominic," I said, taking a cautious step forward. My palms were held flat in the air-open, nonthreatening. I lowered my shoulders, softened my posture, started to slowly circle him like I would a cornered wolf. Because that's exactly what he was right now.His eyes tracked my every move. There was a wildness in them, raw and unhinged, and I didn't have to guess what his wolf was thinking. I could feel it in the air, thick and opp
