Beatrice’s POV

One of the maids gestures silently for us to follow, leading us deeper into the mansion after Caleb and the others go to deal with the chaos. The walls seem too close, the ceiling too high, the air too still.

I stand just inside the entrance hall, my arms folded tightly across my chest as if that could somehow shield me from the overwhelming sense of unease. The door shuts with a dull finality behind us. I flinch at the sound, my heart pounding in protest. I shouldn’t be here. I shouldn’t have agreed to come.

Why did I come?

Elijah is beside me, trying to fill the silence with light conversation, but I barely hear him. His words slide right off me like water on stone. My thoughts are miles away. My soul is uneasy.

Even inside the house, surrounded by high walls and dim candlelight, I can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong. Deeply, unsettlingly wrong. I can feel it, eyes watching from places they shouldn’t be. From the cracks in the ceiling. From the

  • Alpha's Mistress and the Beta   88. I hope it lasts.

    Caleb’s POV The villa is perfect. Nashon really outdid himself this time as always. I shake my head to stop myself from thinking about past experiences with other girls in a place like this. Just thinking about it makes me hate myself. Why couldn't I just wait for Raven? The interior glows with warm, golden light, soft white curtains flutter by the balcony, the scent of the sea drifts through open windows, and faint music hums from the speakers Everything feels calm… safe. Raven walks ahead of me, her bare feet silent on the polished wooden floor. She runs her hand along the marble counter and lets out a small, breathy laugh. “This place is unreal,” she says, turning to face me. Her smile, goddess, I missed that smile. “It’s all yours,” I say softly “Consider it home for as long as you want.” Her gaze softens, and for a brief moment, I see something pure flicker in her storm-gray eyes , peace, maybe even happiness. She disappears down the hallway, curious, peeking into

  • Alpha's Mistress and the Beta   87. He'll go through me first.

    Caleb’s POV Raven is quiet, she hasn’t said another word, she sits by the small window of the cabin, the blanket wrapped loosely around her shoulders, staring at the trees outside as if they’re whispering something only she can hear. Her eyes are distant, lost somewhere between peace and guilt and it kills me. Every instinct in me wants to reach out, to touch her, to remind her that she’s safe here with me that she doesn’t have to carry whatever storm still lingers inside her. But I also know she needs space. She’s trying to make sense of everything: the bond, the moon, the fragments of memory that still haunt her. Fenric is restless in the back of my mind. I rise from the bed and walk toward her. The floor creaks softly beneath my feet, and she glances at me over her shoulder, eyes flickering golden for just a second before turning human again. She’s fighting something inside, the storm, the pull, maybe even Raphael’s lingering presence. “Hey,” I say gently, crouching be

  • Alpha's Mistress and the Beta   86. I'll fight the darkness.

    Raven’s POV I open my eyes to warmth, not just the blanket or the evening sunlight filtering through the window , but him. Caleb’s body is pressed against mine, his arms still wound protectively around my waist as though I might vanish if he lets go. His scent surrounds me, a mix of pine, smoke, and something uniquely him that makes my chest ache. For a moment, I don’t move. I just listen to his heartbeat steady, grounding, hypnotic. The mark on my neck throbs softly, pulsing in rhythm with his. Our bond hums like an invisible thread, tying us together in every possible way. I can feel him now his emotions, his warmth, his love all blending into mine. It’s overwhelming… and beautiful. I tilt my head slightly, my eyes finding his face in the soft morning light. His jawline is strong and shadowed, his lashes dark and heavy over closed eyes. He looks younger, almost peaceful, like the weight of the world has finally been lifted off him. I brush a strand of hair off his forehea

  • Alpha's Mistress and the Beta   85. Mine at last...

    Raven’s POV I wake up in his arms, his embrace so tight as if I would slip away forever if he lets go. His breathing is steady, soothing, a rhythm that lulls me into peace. I feel at home and safe, despite not truly knowing him, at least not in the way my memories should allow. And suddenly, I’m completely aware of our nakedness. My body flushes with heat, every nerve burning with desire. I want him, no, I need him. Every inch of me aches for Caleb, and I know only one thing will quench this unbearable thirst. Rays of sunlight slip through the small window and spill across his face. The golden glow makes him look unreal, godlike. I carefully ease myself from his grip just enough to admire him. His lashes are long and dark, his face peaceful and strong. And his lips, those sinful lips. “Shit,” I whisper to myself as I bite my lower lip, trembling with restraint. I can’t take it anymore. I lean down and brush the softest kiss over his mouth. But the second my lips touch his, I r

  • Alpha's Mistress and the Beta   84. Mark me.

    Caleb's POV “Sleep beside me.” Her words are soft, almost fragile, but they pierce through me sharper than any blade. I freeze, my hand still clutching the blanket where it tucks beneath her chin. My breath catches. Did she mean it? Or is it just the exhaustion talking? Her eyes, though heavy-lidded, hold mine. They are steady and certain. “Raven…” My voice breaks against her name. “Please,” she whispers, her lips trembling, her fingers brushing against the space on the bed. “I don’t… I don’t want to sleep alone.” Every bone in my body screams to climb in beside her, to wrap her up, to shield her from everything. But I hesitate. She doesn’t remember me. She remembers her heart but not the history, not the promises, not the nights I stayed awake listening to her breathe just to know she was safe. Still, I can’t deny her. Not when she looks at me like this. I nod once, slowly, my throat tight. “Alright.” Carefully, as though afraid the fragile air between us will shatter, I

  • Alpha's Mistress and the Beta   83. Sleep beside me.

    Caleb's POV I can't take this anymore, I need to go for a run. I need to take my mind off the thoughts of Raven being intimate with Raphael. It's driving me insane. I can’t sit in this room, can’t look at the walls that feel like they’re closing in on me. I need to move. I need to run. I let Fenric take over, my wolf, surges forward, a storm of muscle and fur, dragging me out of my skin, out of my pain. Together we burst into the night. His paws barely touch the earth as we race through the darkness, the cold wind slashing through my fur like needles but also clearing the haze in my head. Fenric runs fast, so fast, and I let myself go completely, drowning in his speed, in his instincts, in the escape. In no time, we’re deep in the woods. The full moon hangs high and round in the sky, its silver glow bathing the trees in a ghostly light. The power of the moon heightens every emotion in me, grief, rage, heartbreak, until it all fuses into a single, wordless howl. Fenric tilts his
