ログインEnidHow many days now? Damn it! Father will ruin my plan to spend my life with Calden if he continues to push for him not to divorce her. The last thing I want is Jodie remaining in this pack.I grit my teeth hard enough that my jaw begins to ache. What the hell am I supposed to do? Everything I have tried to make that bitch look bad in front of Calden somehow keeps failing. Instead of him throwing her away completely, he keeps getting distracted by her. First her tears, then her acting like some miserable victim, and now Kaiser suddenly showing up in the pack like some protective knight. The thought alone irritates me so much that I nearly throw the pillow across the room.Pretending to stay sick in this hospital bed is becoming useless too.Damn it.My fingers tighten around the bedsheets before I shove them away angrily and sit upright. The room is quiet except for the faint beeping of one of the monitors nearby and the distant footsteps echoing outside the hallway. I grab my pho
JodieKaiser and I went on, and for a moment I almost forgot how much of a mess my life in this pack has become. Sitting here with him, away from the walls of the office and Calden’s sharp words, feels oddly normal. Like the old days. We talk about all the time that slipped past us without real communication, Kaiser is still Kaiser. Even now that he is a powerful Alpha, there is still that kindness in him, the way he listens like what I am saying actually matters.“Recently, my pack has doubled security around the pack borders and enforced strict searches within the pack for unknown identities,” he says, his gaze drifting around the yard as if he expects something to jump out at us.We are sitting outside, not far from the pack office.“Is something wrong?” I ask. “Why would you go that far when you are not at war?”He looks back at me, one brow lifting. “Has Silver Moon not gotten the signal yet?” His voice lowers slightly. “There’s been this strange stench of rotten wild rogues. The
CaldenI didn't know when my legs moved as Jodie stumbled a bit, catching her in my arms. What's wrong? Why does she keep fainting? She turns slightly, her eyes landing on me, and she frowns, disappointment flashing across her features. She pushes herself away from me, turning sharply and reaching for the door frame for support.“Take your hands off me, Calden…you shouldn't bother to act like it matters to you if I die. It's not like you ever cared.” She spits the words, the snaps hitting me hard. I only tried to help her, and I feel sorry for pushing her earlier. Why is she reacting like that? Right, she's still angry.“Go get some rest, I'll send some medications through Evelyn,” I say, but she shoots me a glare.“I don't need anything else from you other than your signature on the fucking divorce papers before the end of the Moon Festival…because whether you do or not, I'll be leaving.” She finally walks out the door, Kaiser following behind. He hesitates at the door, throwing me
Jodie I least expected Calden to react the way he did, like something inside him snapped the moment he saw Kaiser holding me. He knows Kaiser has always been around me. He knows we have never been anything more than friends. So where is this coming from? Where did he dig up this ridiculous idea that I am doing something shameful behind his back?I turn my head slightly, just enough to look at Kaiser. He has already moved back to the chair he was sitting on earlier, one hand braced on the table, fingers curled tight. His jaw is clenched so hard I can almost hear his teeth grind. He looks pissed, but he is holding himself together, probably more for my sake than his. I hate this.Embarrassment washes over me in a thick, suffocating wave. What the hell is Calden doing? This is the Luna’s office, and Kaiser is a guest, a visiting Alpha. Yet here he is, acting like a feral wolf that has lost all sense.I open my mouth, meaning to grab Calden’s arm, pull him aside, tell him to calm down so
CaldenI have known Jodie for so long and married her for five god damn years, yet… I didn’t see the difference between how she’s treated and how Enid and Alvin are treated, and I didn’t see that she’s not blood-related to the Thornwells. How could I really be so blind? It was pretty obvious.I had pushed past Magnus and rushed out of Enid’s ward after hearing the unbelievable news. Heading to Jodie, I need to hear from her—she never even thought to tell me… her husband? All these years, she didn’t think it was important that I know that much about her. Then again, we never really sat down to talk about anything.Now, I’m starting to wonder if I really know my mate. Erix scoffs mockingly at that.Just then, I twist the doorknob as soon as I get to the door. “Jo—” her name doesn’t make it out completely from my mouth as I open the door to see Jodie’s head buried in Kaiser’s neck, his arms wrapped around her waist, the other hand gently rubbing her head.What is going on here? My hand,
Jodie I can tell Calden just zooming off after hearing about Enid’s condition still bothers Kaiser because he is failing to hide the disgust and pity in those eyes staring at me. I look away for a moment, my gaze catching the wine bottles on the shelves, and I suddenly realize I haven’t even offered him a drink. “Wine?” I finally break the silence as I push myself up from the chair and walk toward the shelf in the corner of the office. “Uhm, that’s okay,” he responds softly. I pick one I know he might like. I haven’t touched any of these since my stomach started rejecting everything I try to keep down, even coffee. I grab a glass and pour, the sound filling the room a little too loudly. It feels safer to change the topic and distract him before he says whatever is sitting heavy in his chest. Kaiser is the last person I want looking at me with that pitying gaze. I walk back toward him with the wine, and he reaches out to take the glass. “You don’t have to stay with him, Jodie,” he
Jodie “Luna, are you…” My breath seizes, “fine with a male doctor doing the check-up?” I let out a deep sigh, realizing he isn’t going to ask about my pregnancy. “Please, a female doctor would be better,” I respond quickly. Harvey looks at Evelyn. He looks between Evelyn and me, then gives a sh
CaldenMy lips press together before gritting out the word, "What is this nonsense you are pulling, Jodie?"She doesn't give me any response. She just sits there, continuing to rub her face with that careless motion, looking at the floor like the conversation is already over. I want to ask if she's
JodieThere are ten days left until the Moon Goddess Festival, and honestly I don’t know if I’m supposed to be excited or terrified. Lila still hasn’t said a word to me in days. I keep trying to nudge her. I tell myself I shouldn’t get worried yet, she’s probably recovering physically, but the worr
JodieMy heart twists, part of me furious, part of me longing. I watch it ring until it cuts off, but it rings again. It’s him again. I press the power button. The screen goes dark immediately, but the ache in my chest refuses to fade.My hands shake as I set the phone down. I’ve been trapped by hi
