Anastasia

The silence stretches, thick and heavy. I stand perfectly still, barely breathing, listening. The feeling of being watched presses against my skin, raising every hair on my arms. My pulse thuds in my ears, but I don’t let it distract me.

Whoever... or whatever is out there, they’re good. No obvious movement, no careless sounds. But I know better than to trust the quiet.

I let my body relax just enough to lull them into thinking I don’t sense them. My hand stays loose around the knife in my pocket, my feet shifting slightly like I might just turn around and head back inside.

A trick. A test.

And then—there.

A flicker of something just beyond the trees, barely more than a shadow against the darker night. My eyes snap to it, and my instincts scream.

I don’t hesitate.

I move fast, charging toward the presence with steady, even steps. The crunch of leaves under my feet is the only sound as I close the distance, heart pounding, mind sharp.

The air changes. A shift, like the forest

I think Anastasia will turn around her thinking. I think she’ll be able to see that she has been lied to, it’s why her dad quit being the leader of the hunters. She has been shown nothing but kindness. Sophia knew who she was & still was kind to her. The truth is starring you in the face, Anastasia.

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Epilogue

    Alexei steps outside into the small backyard, and a smile curves onto his lips the moment his eyes sweep across the scene in front of him. All the people he loves, all the people who matter, are gathered here. His family. The house that once felt like nothing but a lifeless box of walls and furniture has become something else entirely. It has turned into a home, alive with laughter and warmth, a place where countless memories will be made.His gaze softens when it finds Irene. Her glow is impossible to miss. Rose and Reid are standing in front of her, their tiny hands pressed against her bump, both of them looking fascinated like they’ve just discovered some secret magic. Alexei can already picture them growing up together, best friends just the way he and Mikhail have always been. The sight makes his chest swell with pride. If it wasn’t enough to see Irene radiant and smiling, seeing her carry their child takes it to another level, a pride that even his wolf howls with.Emma is runni

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 72

    AlexeiA few months later...The kitchen smells sweet, warm, and alive. Irene stands at the counter, hair tied up, apron dusted with flour as she carefully smooths icing across a cake. There’s a little crease between her brows, her focus sharp, but every now and then she hums under her breath, soft and light, like the sound belongs only to this moment.I lean against the doorway, just watching her. My chest feels tight, but not in a painful way... in that way it does when I realize how much I’ve been given. Everything I once thought was only a dream is right here, alive in front of me. Irene, with her quiet determination, pouring herself into making this perfect for Emma. And Emma, who doesn’t even know what’s waiting for her.She never remembered her birthday. Never had candles or cake or people clapping for her. Irene said that needed to change, that Emma deserved not just a celebration, but a day she could claim as her own. And she picked today. The same day we’re going to ask her

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 71

    Irene Unlocking the door, we step into our heaven... our home. A home that has been my safe place after his arms, because it smells like him... He walks and sits on the couch, running his hands through his hair, and lets his head rest in his hands. A weight has been lifted off his shoulders, yet there is something else that is pressing on his chest... even though he has said nothing, his silence is telling me what he is not.I climb into his lap without thinking, curling into him the way I always do, and he molds around me like that’s exactly where he wants to be. He leans back and folds his arms around me, pulling me in so tight I can hear his heartbeat under my ear. For a minute we just breathe together, both of us using the other to find a rhythm."What are you thinking?" I play with his fingers before he interlocks our hands and stares at them.Kissing my knuckles, he takes a slow breath, and when he answers it’s quiet but the words land hard. “Just what kind of life I would hav

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 70

    AlexeiRight there it clicks. The whole truth slams into me like a punch to the chest. This was never about me. Not about love. Not about the unbreakable bond she keeps shouting about. It’s about what I can give her. About pups. About the one thing she cannot get from Ryan.She wants me because she wants a womb. She wants to use me, the same way she’s used me before, keeping me close so her wolf could survive while she slept with someone else. She kept me tied to her for her own survival. Now she wants more.It shouldn't hurt me, but it does. Deep down, I hoped that somewhere, even in the slightest way, she would have come here because of the bond. That she realized she did wrong with me... and the bond that once tied us together. But I was so wrong... just like I was wrong in understanding her.My jaw tightens. I yank her hand off my face. My skin crawls where she touched me. For the first time, I see her... truly see her, for what she is. She was never someone who deserved my love.

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 69

    AlexeiAlexeiMy wolf snarls so low it makes the back of my teeth ache. I can feel him pressing to the surface, hungry to react, to make her regret even thinking this would work.Irene’s fingers close around mine like an anchor. That small pressure is enough to pull the animal back a notch. And for a second, the world narrows down to the warmth of her hand in mine.She doesn’t say a word, doesn’t flinch, but I know how hard this must be on her... standing here while Stella tries to stake a claim on me.Irene steps forward, shoulders squared, locking eyes with Stella. Then she glances at me, takes a single step back. Instinct kicks in, and I move forward without hesitation, closing the space. She does it again, that little retreat, and my wolf whines at the distance. I follow, closing it up fast this time. Before she can move away again, I catch her hand and hold her tight. She smiles, that proud kind of smile that makes my chest burn, before turning her head back to Stella.“This is

    Alexei"Irene feels there is some other motive behind Stella’s return… not just the mate bond." I pull her into my side, throwing my arm around her shoulders. My nose brushes through her hair, and I breathe her in deep. Her scent smooths the edge of my wolf’s anger, keeps him from clawing his way out."She’s right," Sophia says, giving Irene a sharp nod. "Even I could sense it from her emotions. There’s something she’s holding back." Her voice drops lower, almost like she’s talking to herself. "Thank goodness, now we won’t have to deal with her, since Irene is your mate."Irene finally speaks for the first time in a while, her voice soft and gentle with a hint of seriousness. "I think it has something to do with being a mother." Her eyes narrow slightly, like she’s piecing together a puzzle only she can see."How do you know?" Anastasia leans forward, her tone curious but not challenging."I didn’t at first," Irene admits. "Her voice… it had a longing in it. Earlier, I couldn’t place
