Lila's POV

One second, Rafael was standing inches away from Shaun. The next?

He had him by the throat.

Shaun's feet dangled above the floor, his hands clawing at Rafael's grip as he choked, gasping for breath.

A huge silence fell over the office.

Anna and the other employees froze, their eyes wide with a mix of horror and awe.

And me?

My pulse was like a fucking drum.

We weren't human. We were werewolves. And Rafael-Alpha Rafael-was imposing his power in a way that was entirely different. His aura filled the room, tense and stifling, a silent warning that had everyone on edge.

Submit. Or suffer.

Shaun was suffering.

And if I didn't stop this, he was going to fucking die.

I swallowed hard. "Boss." My voice was steady, but my hands weren't. "You need to let him go."

Rafael didn't move.

Didn't blink.

His eyes-fuck.

They were glowing.

A deep, burning red, a flickering fire that screamed one thing: dangerous.

The humans in the room might not understand what they were seeing, but to every w

    LILAMy head's been a burning mess since I found out I'm pregnant.Breakfast was awkwardly silent-no word from me, no attempt to explain anything. I told myself I'd drop the news during breakfast, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.I haven't slept a wink since I left Ava's room. Nicklaus, that dude, just won't leave her side for a second.Now I'm wide awake, sprawled across the big bed Rafael and I used to share. It's been all mine this past week. He's been sleeping in another quarter completely.I sit up and slide out of bed, walking over to the mirror. I pull my hair loose from its knotted bun and let it fall freely down my back. I stare at my reflection-just a nightdress on, eyes tired, heart racing.Maybe I need to do something reckless. Something stupid.I reach for my favorite perfume, spraying it gently across my neck and the pulse points he used to kiss. The scent fills the air-familiar, strong, unforgettable. If this doesn't grab his attention, nothing will.Finally, I gra

    LILAThis is the first time we're having breakfast as a full house since Ava and Derrick arrived at the Pack House. Nicklaus barely leaves Ava's side-like, not even to pee. And Rafael? He still acts like I'm invisible. Like sharing the same air is some kind of punishment.At least he finally let me talk to Derrick. I told him the truth-about Rafael being his father. He took that... okay. But finding out I'm his mother? That hit differently.They're both mad at me. And honestly? I get it. I fucked up.I'm in the kitchen, trying to focus on the one thing I can control-breakfast. "Eggs Benedict with roasted tomatoes," I mutter to myself, flipping through the ingredients on the counter. "Poach the eggs... toast the muffins... make the hollandaise without ruining it."Easier said than done when your hands won't stop shaking.The eggs are boiling gently, the sauce pan is prepped, and I'm slicing cherry tomatoes when I hear soft footsteps behind me. I don't turn, too scared it's Rafael, too

    AVAIt's like I've been hit with a sucker punch. A big one. Right to the chest.What in the absolute name of the moon goddess is this?Turns out the guy I've been head-over-heels for... the same guy who drugged me, bit me, kidnapped a child, Derrick, and he isn't just a walking red flag with fangs...He's Lila's freaking brother. My best friend's brother. "You're joking," I say, though my voice sounds nothing like mine. "Tell me this is one of those sick prank shows. Someone's gonna jump out with a camera and tell me to laugh."Lila just shakes her head, eyes glistening.Nicklaus is dead silent. His jaw's tight, like even he didn't see this one coming. "So... let me get this straight," I continue, pacing now. "I got drugged... bit... soul-bonded to a man who faked being human... and oh, plot twist-he's my best friend's long-lost brother?"I laugh. Not the cute kind. "I'm living in a goddamn supernatural soap opera."Lila tries to say something, but I raise a hand."No, no, let me b

    AVAI feel someone's fingers brushing softly across my face... slow, gentle strokes. The kind that could lull anyone right back to sleep.I turn, then turn again, still floating somewhere between dream and reality. And then, my eyes flutter open.They're sleepy, blurry... but enough to catch the outline of a familiar statue hovering over me.Nicklaus. "Phoenix, you're awake?"His voice sounds more like a question than a statement.I blink once. Twice. The room comes into focus.And then, boom. It hits me. Everything. The pain. The chaos. The bite. The truth.My hand flies to my chest trying to feel if what I felt earlier was real, if something was really growing in there. Nothing. No mark. No wound.Just regular skin. Like none of that ever happened.Like I'm still the same old Ava, before everything turned into a supernatural episode of WTF is my life."Are you alright, Phoenix?"He's holding my hand now, eyes locked on mine.I pause. I study him.His eyes have dark circles like he's

    RAFAELDon't blame me for getting so upset. For losing my cool. For making sure Derrick stays away from Lila.She'll see him again, sure. Eventually.But not right now. Not when I'm still raging. Not when I'm still trying to swallow the taste of betrayal stuck at the back of my throat.He's been shaking since we get back.Hours have passed, and he hasn't stopped.And truth is... I don't know how to calm him.Hell, I don't even know how to talk to him.How do I explain to a seven-year-old boy that I'm his father? The father he never knows he has.The one he is told doesn't exist. Or worse, is the monster in the closet.You know what's worse? He sees me that way.As the villain. As the bad man. As the psychopath who hurts the people he loves."You're that guy," he cries, eyes wide and full of terror."That bad man that wants to kill Aunt Lila. I want my mom! Take me to my mom and Aunt Lila!"Each tear is a blade. Each sob feels like a hammer slamming straight into my ribs.And when he s

    LILAThe moment Derrick and Ava were brought back safely, my breath returned in pieces, like someone slowly unwrapped the vice squeezing my chest. Relief washed through me in waves, and the tension I didn't even realize I was carrying finally loosened.But Rafael didn't say a word to me. Not one.He wouldn't even look at me, let alone let me near Derrick.When I reached out, he simply shifted away. Silent. Cold. His entire body screamed don't touch me.I understood. And still, it shattered me.In that moment, I wanted to be selfish. I wanted to scream.He shouldn't have denied Derrick the chance to reach for me. To see me.I'd protected that boy with my entire soul.But instead of pushing my pain forward, I did the only thing I could. I stayed close to Ava. I helped Nicklaus comfort her, doing what I could. Watching her writhe, scream, burn with a pain that didn't seem human.Her shift was coming. Her wolf had been triggered. And I couldn't believe I had never seen it.All this time.
