2025-03-26 18:29:02Chapter Four – A Cold Alpha
Zarina’s POV When I woke up, my head hurt. My body felt sore, and for a moment, I didn’t understand why. Then, I realized I wasn’t in the forest anymore. I was in a room, lying on a bed. And I wasn’t alone. I turned my head and saw him—Asher. The man I met last night. The man I had slept with. My heart started beating fast. No. No. No. I sat up quickly, pulling the blanket over my chest. What had I done? How could I have been so careless? I didn’t even know this man! I wanted to scream, but before I could react, Asher moved. He opened his eyes, and instantly, everything about him changed. Last night, he had looked tired but kind. Now, his golden eyes were cold, emotionless. He sat up and looked at me like I was a problem he needed to deal with. Then, the first thing he said made my whole body freeze. “As the Alpha of this pack, I can’t be seen sleeping with just anyone. What do you want in return to keep quiet?” I blinked. My heart dropped. “What?” My voice came out weak. He sighed, rubbing his forehead. “I don’t like repeating myself. What do you want?” I couldn’t believe it. Was that all this was to him? A mistake? A problem to solve? I swallowed hard, forcing myself to stay calm. “I don’t want anything from you,” I said quietly. Asher stared at me for a long time, as if he didn’t believe me. Then he nodded. “Good. Then leave.” Leave. I felt my chest tighten. I didn’t know why, but hearing him say that made me feel worse. Like I was nothing. I had already been rejected once. And now, this man wanted to throw me away too? I gritted my teeth and was about to get out of bed when he suddenly spoke again. “Wait.” I looked at him, confused. He exhaled, staring at me like he was thinking about something important. “You helped heal my leg last night,” he said. “I should return the favor.” I frowned. “What do you mean?” His eyes darkened. “I need a mate. A fake one. Since you have nowhere to go, you can stay here and pretend to be mine.” I froze. Did I hear him correctly? “You want me to pretend to be your mate?” I asked, my voice shaking. “Yes.” His tone was firm. “It will be safer for you. Instead of wandering around like a lost pup, you’ll stay here.” I stared at him. He looked serious. Too serious. I didn’t know what to say. Last night, I had nothing. No pack, no home, no one to turn to. And now, this man—this cold Alpha—was offering me a place to stay. But there was something about him that scared me. He wasn’t like Kael. Kael had been cruel, but his cruelty was obvious. Asher was different. His coldness wasn’t loud. It was quiet. Dangerous. I swallowed hard and looked at him. “How do I know I’m safe with you?” Asher’s lips twitched slightly, but it wasn’t a smile. “You’re safe from others,” he said. “No one will touch you. No one will hurt you.” Then he leaned in slightly, his golden eyes staring deep into mine. “But from me?” He paused. “I don’t know.” A chill ran down my spine. I should have left. I should have run. But where would I go? I took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay.” I had no choice

Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Uninvited Guest
Chapter 207 – The Uninvited GuestZarina’s POVThe wind was different today.It wasn’t just the rustling of the trees or the occasional chirp of birds. It was the way the air felt—tense, like it was holding its breath, waiting for something to go wrong.I had just finished feeding the triplets. They were finally asleep, their tiny bodies curled close to each other on the bed. The house was small, but peaceful. No palace. No guards. No whispers. No Zaria.I thought I had escaped her.I sat on the edge of the couch, holding a cup of lukewarm tea. I hadn’t even tasted it yet. My hands were too tired, and my mind had too many questions. I didn’t know if Asher had tried looking for me. I didn’t know if he believed the rumors. But what I did know—what I kept reminding myself—was that I left because I had to breathe again.But just as I stood to place the cup down, there was a knock at the door.I froze.No one ever visited me here. Not without notice. Damon had promised me privacy. Only he
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate Blow
Chapter 206 — The Final BlowZarina’s POVIt was a quiet morning.Too quiet.The kind of morning that makes your heart ache for a reason you can’t quite explain.I was sitting by the window of the small house I had moved into—far enough from the packhouse to breathe, yet close enough to feel the weight of everything I had left behind. The triplets were still sleeping in the next room, their soft breaths the only warmth I had left. My hands were wrapped around a cup of lukewarm tea, untouched, just something to keep my fingers from trembling.I hadn’t spoken to Asher in days.He hadn’t reached out—not since the photo.The image was burned into my mind. Zaria’s hand on his face, her lips too close to his jawline. It didn’t matter if it was real or staged. It didn’t matter if there was more to the story. The damage was done.My heart had already cracked.And yet… the universe wasn’t done with me.The knock on the door was soft, hesitant.I stood slowly, not expecting anyone, my pulse alr
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate Her Peace
Chapter 205 — Her PeaceZarina’s POVThe wind outside was soft. The trees swayed gently. The sun peeked through the curtains, but I didn’t feel its warmth.I sat on the edge of the bed, brushing my daughter’s hair as she giggled and kicked her tiny legs. One of the boys was crawling toward a toy near the fireplace. The other was sleeping soundly in the cradle. They were my peace—my reason. But even now, my hands were shaking.Ever since I left the pack house, I had lived in quiet pain. I hadn’t spoken to Asher. Not once. I had blocked the link between us. The only voice I answered was Damon’s—he would sometimes check in on the children and bring supplies. He never pushed me to go back, but his eyes were always filled with pity.I hated that look.I was trying to forget what I saw that day. Zaria’s hand on Asher’s face. The picture spreading like wildfire. The whispers. The betrayal.But today, I couldn’t escape it.Because today, Damon came again. And this time, he wasn’t carrying sup
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate Step
Chapter 204– StepZarina’s POVI thought I had cried all the tears I had.After everything that happened—the photo, the whispers, the way I packed my children and left the pack like a thief in the night—I thought I had finally reached the end of pain. I told myself nothing else could break me.But I was wrong.The day started normal. As normal as things could be when your heart was in pieces and your mate was no longer by your side. I was sitting outside on the porch, watching the triplets play in the grass, their laughter echoing like a song I didn’t feel worthy of anymore.And then I saw Damon’s car pull up.He had been visiting more often. Helping with food. Checking on the children. I knew he was trying to be supportive—especially because he didn’t agree with what was happening either.But today, his face looked different.He stepped out of the car, holding something in his hands. I stood up slowly, wiping my palms on my dress as I walked toward him.“Damon?” I asked, my voice sof
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate Pho
Chapter 203 - PhotoZarina’s POVI sat on the porch of the small cottage I had moved into after leaving the packhouse. The wind was soft that morning, but I didn’t feel any of it. My eyes stared into the trees, but my mind wasn’t there.So much had happened in so little time.That photo. That cruel, cruel photo of Zaria touching Asher’s face. It had spread like wildfire—every whisper, every stare, every pitying glance. It broke something in me that I couldn’t put back together.Even now, I could still see her hand on his cheek… her eyes locking with his.Even if it was staged, even if he didn’t want it… the damage was done.I had packed my things and left. Quietly. Without a fight. Without even telling him.I took our children—my triplets—and disappeared into this small, forgotten corner of the territory.But peace never stayed long.Not for people like me.Not even a week after the photo scandal, I heard the next rumor.“Zaria is pregnant.”Those three words shattered what little pea
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Week
Chapter 202 — The WeekZarina’s POVThe morning sun peeked through the curtains like it was afraid to fully enter. I sat by the window with a blanket wrapped around my shoulders, my tea untouched, growing cold in my hands. The triplets were still sleeping in the room behind me, their soft breaths the only proof that something in my life was still pure.It had been a week since I left the pack house.A week since that photo of Asher and Zaria had spread like wildfire—his hand close to her face, her fingers grazing his cheek, her smile soft and dangerous. It didn’t matter that I’d known that look in her eyes was manipulative. It didn’t matter that I’d seen Asher pull away. The picture told its own story, and the world chose to believe it.And so did I.I left with the children and no goodbye. Asher didn’t stop me. Maybe he didn’t know. Maybe he let me go.That morning, I thought the pain couldn’t get worse.Until the knock came.Soft. Hesitant.I stood slowly and opened the door. Damon.
