Rahab’s Point of View again

Walking into the executive suite felt like stepping into a cage full of starving lions.

The air was thick with Alpha pheromones, so dense I could almost taste the ozone and raw aggression bleeding over my tongue. It was like a storm waiting to break.

I’d spent the past week listening to nothing but the rhythmic slap of waves against the Aurelius, the gentle song of the ocean. Returning to this, this sterile, fluorescent-lit room filled with energy, hit me like a pun

    The moment I uttered the name ‘Roderick,’ the atmosphere shifted instantly.Soldier, who had been resting his chin on my knee, suddenly stood up. His hackles didn’t exactly rise, but his entire body tensed as a low, vibrating growl rumbled from his throat. Ranger stopped wagging his tail, ears pinning back as he let out a sharp, disapproving bark toward the street below.“Whoa, hey!” I called out, startled.I reached to pat their tense shoulders.“What’s wrong? It’s just Roderick. You don’t even know him. Why are you losing your minds?”Ranger paced the small balcony, claws clicking irritably on the wood, tail stiff.Soldier kept staring into the city lights with an intense, glowing amber gaze, a look that felt uncomfortably familiar. Almost like the one Rapha gave me when he was trying to read my thoughts.“Okay, okay,” I muttered, pulling them both back inside. “We’re not fans of the competition, huh? You’re just as territorial as the Alphas at work. Must be a wolf thing. Smell a ri

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 32 - Corporate Calm, Apartment Comfort

    The week that followed felt like a masterclass in subtlety and avoidance.If there were a competition for expertly sidestepping interactions with the CEOs in a corporate corridor, I’d be taking home every medal—gold, silver, and bronze. I had perfected the art of the ‘urgent’ folder shuffle, the ‘just happened’ glance at my phone whenever a familiar cologne wafted my way in the breakroom, and the artful way I managed to disappear just when conversation was about to start.To my surprise, and, if I was truthful, Nisi and Rapha played along without resistance.It was as if they’d undergone a collective personality overhaul during my week away at sea. In the office, they were the epitome of professionalism. Gone were the low growls about destiny, the territorial hovering, and the intense, gold-flecked stares that used to prick the back of my neck.When we finally sat down to sign off on the quarterly logistics report, there were no glances or casual touches that sent a jolt through my s

    Rapha gave a nod, marking his assent to the proposal.“It’s a strategy of survival. Our beasts are out of control, yes. The thought of losing her, of her slipping through our claws, is unthinkable. But if we can’t have her as our queen right now, we’ll be the quiet presence that reminds her she’s not alone.”They sat in silence for a moment, overthinking their plan.Neither of them did any work, instead, they focused on sensing the faintest trace of her scent drifting through the building, trying to track her movements, her mood, her hesitation. They knew she wouldn’t want to go back to the pack, the bridge there was burned, the ties severed. She was heading somewhere else, somewhere familiar, a place that felt like her refuge.When they finally drove through the city to her old apartment complex, neither was surprised to see her light on in the third-floor window. The rent had been paid through the year, Nisi had taken care of that months ago, a silent insurance policy he’d never spo

    The silence that stretched after the glass doors shut behind her was almost deafening.It was like the calm before a storm, an unspoken tension.Nisi stood frozen, his hand still hovering over the mahogany desk he’d nearly shattered in his fury. A single drop of blood from his knuckles slowly dripped onto the polished surface, a stark contrast against the dark grain of the wood.His face was tense, eyes flickering with a mixture of anger and confusion, caught somewhere between rage and helplessness.Across the room, Rapha remained by the window, his silhouette a shadow against the mid-morning sun filtering through the blinds. His chest rose and fell in strained, faltering breaths, as if he’d just sprinted a marathon.“Did… did she just reject us?”Nisi’s voice was barely a whisper, cracked from the strain. It sounded like a child lost in a thunderstorm, fragile and trembling, despite the fact he was an Alpha capable of commanding armies and tearing through forests with a growl.Rapha

    Rahab’s Point of View againWalking into the executive suite felt like stepping into a cage full of starving lions. The air was thick with Alpha pheromones, so dense I could almost taste the ozone and raw aggression bleeding over my tongue. It was like a storm waiting to break.I’d spent the past week listening to nothing but the rhythmic slap of waves against the Aurelius, the gentle song of the ocean. Returning to this, this sterile, fluorescent-lit room filled with energy, hit me like a punch to the gut. Yet I held my ground. I simply stood there, feet planted on the carpet, letting the silence stretch out between us until it became uncomfortable enough to prick their skin.Nisi was the first to crack.He looked like hell, hair a mess, shirt unbuttoned at the collar, eyes burning with a frantic, almost desperate kind of gold. His entire presence radiated the same wild energy that had haunted him since I’d been gone.“Where the hell have you been, Rahab?”His voice cracked, rough w

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 28 - Making It Happen

    The heavy glass doors swung open, recognizing a force that had been absent for days. It was as if the space itself shifted to accommodate her presence, giving way to something new, something fierce.Nisi and Rapha remained frozen.For eight days, they'd been like wild animals caught in silk suits, their minds a chaotic whirl of Rahab’s frantic escape and the lingering, salty scent of Roderick that clung stubbornly to the edges of the Ridge. They had prepared for anything: a tearful apology, a trembling plea for mercy, or a woman dragged back in chains by trackers.But what stood before them now was none of those things. Rahab looked different.Gone was the girl who had bolted with a lack of confidence in their relationship. She was not the one who had spent days exhausted by the expectations of the pack.No.She was calm, composed, in control.Her hair was windblown, tousled in a way that looked effortless, as if she had spent days leaning into storms and relishing every gust.
