Natalia:

The drive back to the estate was quiet, but it wasn’t uncomfortable.

For the first time, silence between us didn’t feel like a wall, it felt like something that could be crossed if one of us just… reached.

The tires crunched against the gravel as the car stopped in front of the main house. The packhouse lights glowed in the distance, warm and welcoming. A few of the sentries bowed as Nolan helped me out of the car.

I didn’t need to look at him to know his gaze was following me. I could feel it. I always could.

And this time, rather than trying to escape it or hide, I was happy to know that he was looking at me. I was enjoying it.

The past few days had changed something between us, something I couldn’t quite name, something I wasn’t ready to admit. But there it was.

And everyone saw it too.

“You’re blushing, Natalia.” He whispered, making me smile.

“I am not. But I am happy. And if that is making my cheeks redden, then so be it.” I said, making him chuckle.

  • Alpha Nolan   Chapter 66

    Natalia:The forest had always been quiet at night, but tonight it felt alive, the air heavier, every whisper of wind carrying the echo of what we weren’t saying.And after everything that I had gone through with my parents, the number of conflicts, and the conflicted feelings that I had… this quiet was something that I found myself embracing. At least, it is real, and though many might not find themselves liking it, I was grateful f or it.We’d stayed by the lake longer than we meant to. The moonlight spilled across the water, soft and silver, and Nolan stood close enough that I could feel the heat radiating from him. He hadn’t let go of my hand since we’d left the house, and even now, his thumb traced slow circles against my skin.“You’re quiet,” he said finally. “And I know that you have a lot on your mind.I smiled faintly. “You tell me to breathe, and now you’re asking why I’m quiet. It is a little bit of a contradict, isn’t it?”He chuckled under his breath, the sound low, like

  • Alpha Nolan   Chapter 65

    Nolan:I heard the last of their voices fade as I stepped down the corridor, sharp words muffled behind a closed door, followed by silence so tense it felt like it cracked through the air.Her mother brushed past me moments later, chin lifted high, eyes sharp. She didn’t acknowledge me, not beyond a stiff nod, but she didn’t have to. The look she gave was enough, disappointment, judgment, the kind of coldness only a woman trained to wield silence as a weapon could manage.And when I walked into the room, Natalia was standing by the window, her back to me.Her posture was stiff, hands gripping the edge of the desk so tightly her knuckles were white.“Do you want to talk about it?” I asked quietly.She didn’t answer right away. Just a shallow nod. “She came to remind me that I’m still their property. She wants me to allow my father to cross me, to go over everything that I know and just be that girl who they can push around because they want to. In their eyes, I am not your wife, I am n

    Natalia:I had just finished reviewing the reports from the Gamma unit when I heard the faint click of heels behind me.I didn’t have to turn to know who it was. The scent of jasmine and old perfume, sharp, dignified, suffocating, filled the air before her voice did.“Mother, I didn’t expect you to come.” I said, putting down the paper as I looked at her. I nodded at the gamma, Lilian, who held the folder for me, waiting for what I had to say. “I will call for you later.”“Yes, Luna.” She walked out without saying a word, leaving me alone with my mom.“I see that you’re still working,” my mother said, stepping into the room like she owned every inch of it. “You’ve always had that trait. You forget the world when you want to prove a point.”“Mother. You could’ve sent word before coming.” I said, choosing to ignore her remark. “I would have come to greet you myself.”She smiled faintly. “Would you have preferred that? Or would you have found another excuse to avoid me after that scene w

    Mira:Morning sunlight was too bright for the kind of mood I woke up in.Sleep had been useless, my head still replayed every word Nolan said last night, every look he gave me before he walked away like I was nothing more than a memory he’d rather forget.He thought he could just erase me.He thought he could kiss her in front of me, humiliate me, dismiss me, and still think I’d fade quietly.He thought that he could easily tell me to walk away and I will without a fight.I wasn’t built to fade.And I wasn’t here to sit back and be her shadow again.I sat on the edge of the bed, picked up my phone, and scrolled through my contacts until I landed on Natalia.I hit call before I could second-guess it.She was going to find out what the truth was. If she believed things to be as innocent, then she was going to hear it from me how they were not.She answered after a few rings. Her voice was calm, steady, too steady.“Mira? Is everything alright? Did something happen?”“Good morning,” I sa

    Nolan:The moment her father left, I felt the tension still pulsing through the air.It wasn’t just hers, it was mine too.That man carried poison in his words, and I could taste it even now.“Are you sure that you are okay?” I asked Natalia who hummed in response.“I have been through worse with my father. But now, I believe that I am going to need a break after this long day. I didn’t think that coming back was going to have more duties.” She teased, making me chuckle.“Okay, I’ll be in my office if you need anything.” She hummed in response before turning toward the stairs.I watched Natalia head toward her wing, shoulders held high even though I could see the faint tremor in her hands. She was holding herself together, but I knew the toll it took. And I knew that she was going to do her best not to show me how she truly was feeling.When she finally disappeared around the corner, I turned sharply toward the main hall.“Alessandro,” I called.He was already there, of course he was,
