Anastasia

Dad’s voice turns quiet, like he’s pulling a memory from a place he doesn’t visit often.

"You were just two years old," he starts, his eyes far away. "Even though we warned you not to go near the training area, you tricked your mom and the nanny and rushed in anyway."

I blink, trying to imagine myself as a toddler already causing chaos. It’s not that hard.

"The hunters were training with weapons," he continues, his jaw tightening. "And then… a gunshot went off. It wasn’t meant to happen. It was an accident. But the bullet—" He swallows, his hands clasping together. "It hit you. Right near your heart."

Mom grips my hand so tight it almost hurts. Her eyes are shining, like she’s back in that moment, helpless and terrified.

"I rushed you to the hospital," Dad says, his voice rough. "They removed the bullet, but even after that, you weren’t stable. You were so small, too small to survive something like that. A grown man can’t always survive a gunshot, so how could a two-year-old

I was not expecting that… were you? 🤯 Be honest, did you see it coming, or are you just as shocked as I am?

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 52

    Aurora“Aurora!”“Miss Blake!”At first, it sounds far away. A blur of voices muffled by the noise inside my chest. Then they get closer. Sharper.His posture shifts almost imperceptibly. His jaw tenses, his hand slides to my waist. His thumb presses lightly against my hip, and for a second, I let myself imagine he’s holding me there because he can’t bear to let me go.But I know better. He’s holding on because soon, he’ll have to let go.“Lucas.” My voice comes out softer than I mean it to. I reach up and cradle his face between my palms, feeling the warmth of his skin under my fingers. His stubble grazing inside of my palm.“I love you,” I whisper, and the words feel too small, too fragile to hold everything I mean. “More than I will ever know. More than I could ever explain.”His eyes... God... his eyes are speaking what he can't... the love I can see in them is almost breaking me and making me feel so powerful.He doesn’t say anything. He just looks at me, and in that silence, I f

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 51

    AuroraLucas’s grip tightens around me, and for a second, I can feel his pulse hammering against my spine. It’s fast, uneven, the kind of rhythm that doesn’t belong to calm people. There’s a faint gleam in his eyes, and it catches in the fading light. It’s wild, not entirely human, like something darker is peeking through the cracks of his skin. Half man, half wolf. It’s there for only a moment before he blinks, and I see the human again. Still fierce. Still dangerous. But different.He moves with purpose, his hand firm on the small of my back as he guides me through the trees. The forest is quiet except for the whisper of leaves under our feet. The air feels different, suffocated, the way it does before a storm.The echoes of gunfire are faint now, but sharp enough to keep my heart racing.When we reach the main clearing, I see everyone, Mikhail, Jake, Anastasia, Sophia, and there’s someone else too. A blond guy stands beside Mikhail, tall with a grin that feels like it was born out

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 50

    AuroraThe sky is painted in shades of amber and violet, the kind of color that makes silence feel softer. The air smells faintly of pine and smoke drifting from somewhere far below. We’re sitting near the cliff’s edge, where the world stretches endlessly ahead. The wind moves through my hair, and Lucas’s arms are around me, strong, his chest pressed against my back.He doesn’t say much. He never does when words aren’t needed. His thumb traces small circles against my wrist, a motion that feels unconscious, like his body just knows where I am and needs to keep confirming it. I lean a little closer into him, the warmth of his breath brushing my temple.“What will happen now?” I ask quietly, not sure if I even want an answer. My voice almost gets lost in the sound of the trees.He hums, a small sound in the back of his throat, before pressing his cheek against my temple. “I don’t know,” he says finally, voice low, rough around the edges. “Other than that, I don’t ever want to let you go

    AuroraAfter lunch, Anastasia has gone to her room to freshen up. Caleb left for work, his garage is on the main road, the one that leads to town. I still don’t get why he runs it, considering not many people around here even own cars. But there’s something endearing about it, like he’s keeping a habit alive just because it’s his. There’s a warmth about the way he mentioned it earlier, like that garage is his little world.Before leaving, he promised he’d teach me his “killer sandwich” recipe someday. I smiled and said I’d hold him to it, but deep down, I know that “someday” probably won’t come. Once I go back home, I doubt I’ll be allowed out again.Freedom, it seems, was always temporary for me.But none of that is what my mind keeps circling back to.It’s the ring.Anastasia’s ring.The image flashes in my head again, the faint mark of that same ring on the face of the dead man as if someone had constantly hit him. Like it had been pressed into him like a brand of punishment.I don

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 48

    LucasMy heart feels lighter than it has in years.Aurora sits at the dining table with Jake and Caleb, her laughter mixing into theirs so naturally that for a moment, it feels like she’s always been part of this world. My world. She doesn’t force her way in, doesn’t try to impress anyone. She just fits.Caleb leans back in his chair, pretending not to be bothered by the story she’s telling about her eating pudding just to piss off her bitch grandma. I can tell he hates Aurora's family, just like Jake and I, because we can see how wrongfully they are treating Aurora.That’s the thing about Caleb. Most people see his sarcasm, the smirk that never quite fades, the casual shrug. They think he’s nonchalant. Untouchable. But I know better.Every muscle in his face gives him away. The tiny flex near his jaw when he’s holding back emotion. The way his eyes narrow when he’s assessing someone new. He’s cautious, always has been, especially with people who get close to us. He learned that the h

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 47

    AuroraThe food is set on the table, three men moving around like they’ve done this a hundred times together. Lucas is laughing about something Caleb said, his voice low and husky, the kind that sneaks into your skin and settles there. Jake stands by the counter, scooping food onto plates with practiced ease, the faintest smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.I hover near the table, unsure where to sit. At home, there’s always an assigned seat, each place at the dining table chosen by hierarchy, not comfort. Here, there’s no such rule. Every chair looks the same, but my body freezes anyway, instinctively waiting for someone to tell me where I belong.Lucas looks up and catches on faster than I can speak. He stands, pulls out a chair beside him, and nods toward it with that little half-smile of his that makes everything inside me feel like sunlight. “Here,” he says softly.I sit down, and he gently pushes the chair in before settling beside me. His knee brushes mine under the table
