INICIAR SESIÓNElenaI had no idea how long we’d spent in that sunflower field.Time had stopped meaning anything.Minutes could have become hours and I don’t think I would’ve noticed.All I remembered was running.Running until my lungs burned and laughter replaced every ugly thought that had been living inside my head since morning. Every single time Ashton or Jax caught me, they’d never keep me for long. They’d wrap their arms around me just long enough to steal a laugh out of me, press kisses across my cheeks and forehead, tickle me until I was squirming and begging them to stop, only to loosen their hold a second later and let me run again. It became a game neither of them seemed interested in winning. They wanted the chase to continue just as much as I did, and every time they let me escape with those amused smiles on their faces, I realized they were never trying to catch me because they wanted the game to end. They were catching me simply so they could hold me for another moment before setti
ElenaWhen Ashton had whispered that he’d help me, I’d gotten his hint straight away. Every last drop of doubt had vanished the moment his hand slid into my pants and found my heat. And the rest?It was history.I didn’t know how many times I’d come apart in his hands. He’d only stopped when every other thought had left my mind, and the only thing I could think about was his fingers against my folds.I breathed heavily, my head thrown back against Ashton’s shoulder, my body shaking, my hips like jelly, and sweat gliding down my neck while Ashton slid his fingers into his mouth.God—these were monsters.But fuck, I loved these monsters.I didn’t know how far we’d come, but we’d driven far enough that the number of houses had started to thin out. There were more open fields, more scattered cottages, and village-like structures stretching into the distance. I couldn’t even remember the last time I’d come to this side of the pack, but fortunately, it seemed untouched by Dad and his idea o
ElenaWhen I stepped out of Stephen’s office, Ashton and Jax were still standing exactly where I’d left them.The moment their eyes landed on me, I saw it.The silent question.Are you okay?I wanted nothing more than to run to them. To tell them everything had worked. To thank them for trusting Stephen when I couldn’t.But I never got the chance.“Elena, dear, listen to me—”Dad’s voice stopped me before I had even taken three steps.I slowly turned around to face him.For a second, I simply stared.Then I let out a bitter laugh.“What’s there to listen to, Dad?” I asked, my voice quiet but edged with something sharp enough to cut. “Because let’s be honest for once. If Stephen had walked out of that room and told you I wasn’t a virgin, you would’ve seriously considered killing me right there. Don’t even try to deny it.”Monica stepped out of the office behind him.Unlike Dad, she didn’t speak.She simply leaned one shoulder against the hallway wall, folded her arms across her chest a
ElenaWhen Stephen and I stepped out of the examination room, Ashton and Jax were already waiting in the hallway.Neither of them looked the least bit anxious.Not even a little.Where I had spent the last several minutes convinced my world was about to come crashing down, they stood there with an almost infuriating calmness. Their shoulders were relaxed, their expressions composed, as though no matter how many storms came their way, they would simply weather them without breaking.I found myself staring at them for a moment.How?How were they this calm?Had they truly trusted Stephen this much… or were they only pretending to be fearless for my sake?Before I could think any further, Stephen stopped directly in front of them instead of continuing down the hallway.I blinked.God.This man really was impossible to understand.Even after agreeing to help us, he somehow still managed to look as though he was about to declare war on the two brothers.He tucked both hands into the pocket
ElenaWe entered one of the examination rooms tucked away at the end of the medical wing. The sterile scent of antiseptic hung heavily in the air, mixing with the faint aroma of disinfectant that clung to every corner of the room. White cabinets lined one wall, meticulously organized with medical supplies, while an examination bed occupied the center beneath the harsh glow of fluorescent lights.A nurse stood quietly beside one of the counters, clipboard tucked against her chest. She offered me a polite smile, but it did little to settle the storm raging inside me.Stephen walked ahead without a word before turning toward me. His expression remained unreadable as he gestured toward the examination bed.“You can sit there.”I obeyed without hesitation.The paper covering the mattress crinkled beneath me as I perched on the edge, my back stiff, my hands instantly finding each other in my lap. My fingers twisted together until my knuckles turned white.Stephen glanced at the nurse.“You
ElenaI sat in the passenger seat beside my father as the car cut through the quiet morning roads toward the pack hospital.Every passing second felt heavier than the last.The closer we got, the tighter the knot in my stomach became, until it felt impossible to breathe properly. Every turn of the wheels carried us closer to a truth that had the power to ignite a war. I couldn’t stop imagining every possible outcome, and somehow every single one of them ended with blood staining the ground.Monica occupied the back seat in complete silence.For the first few minutes, I could feel her eyes resting on me through the rearview mirror. I refused to meet her gaze at first. I had expected amusement. Maybe satisfaction. Maybe even mockery.Instead…When I finally glanced back at her, I found something that caught me completely off guard.Sympathy.It wasn’t obvious.It was buried beneath her usual careless expression, hidden so well that I almost convinced myself I’d imagined it.Almost.Befo
ElenaI stood on the rooftop, staring down at the borders.Guards patrolled in relentless formation, eyes sharp, movements precise. No lazy pauses. No fifteen-minute breaks. Every shift was replaced seamlessly by another team.Fuck.There was no escaping the borders anymore.I swept my gaze north,
ElenaI was here. In my room.Back in my dad's grand fortress—the one I'd tried to escape this morning.Night closed in, thick and suffocating, swallowing everything whole. And my defeat? It sat heavy on my chest, bitter and sharp.They'd brought me back home in a ride I'd spent fighting the entire
ElenaI ran.Bare feet slapped against the rough earth, every stride slicing my skin open a little more. The ground was cold, cruel, and unyielding. My lungs burned; my heart felt like it was about to rupture. My wolf wanted to shift back—she was done, exhausted—but I couldn't stop. Not now. Not wh
Elena I was trapped between two Alphas in the pool, their bodies pressed tight against mine, hands on me, their scents—dark cedar, sandalwood, and something uniquely male and powerful—filling the air until it was thick enough to taste. I could feel it—as if I could dart my tongue out and I’d ta
