My eyes catch something on Emma's bed. A drawing. I don’t even have to second-guess who made it. Irene. Every time she puts pencil to paper, it feels like she breathes life into it. It’s not just lines, it’s like she leaves a piece of herself behind.

I pick it up and stare, my chest tightening. The strokes are so damn alive, like the picture could talk back to me. My fingers trace over the edges without even realizing it.

“Alexei…”

Emma is standing in the doorway, her little cheeks are wet with tears, and her eyes are red. My gut twists instantly.

“Why are you crying?” I ask, setting the picture down, already moving toward her.

She wipes her face, but the tears just keep rolling. “Because Irene left.” Her voice cracks, and it slices right through me. “I didn’t want her to go… I wanted to spend more time with her.”

“Hey, don’t cry…” I crouch down a little to look her in the eye, trying to calm her. “She just went… home.” The word feels heavy, almost wrong, and I have to r

Now that’s a cliffy!! Is it wrong for me to want one of the rogues killed to be Stella’s boyfriend ? Please don’t have Irene in some drawn out coma or memory loss. Fingers crossed she wakes up and ready to fight for what is her’s.

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 39

    AuroraAll my life has been spent behind walls. Not the kind you can see, not the kind you can touch, but the kind that live inside your chest. Invisible, quiet, heavy. The walls of my home were only a reflection of the real ones, the ones that taught me how to smile when I wanted to scream, how to sit still when I wanted to run. I learned to be composed, to be perfect, to be what everyone else expected from the daughter of the Blake family... what dad expected from me to be.But when I’m with Lucas, those walls fall apart. Not all at once. It’s slower than that, like sunlight melting frost. I don’t even notice when it happens. One moment I’m cautious, aware of every word, every breath. The next, I’m just… me. The version of myself, that has always been just for me.And tonight, out here, under the dark sky and the quiet hum of the forest, I finally understand what it feels like to be free. Not the kind of freedom people talk about in books or quotes, but something simpler. Realer. Br

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 38

    LucasShe looks at me like I hung the moon, and I hate that. Not because I don’t want it, but because I don’t deserve it. Not yet. Not until she knows everything.Her scent hits me first, sweet and maddening.My wolf stirs, restless, clawing at the inside of my skin. He wants her. Not just wants... needs. I can feel it in every breath. He wants to claim her, to make her ours, to leave his mark where the world can see it.But I can’t.Not yet.I keep telling myself that, over and over like a mantra that’s supposed to calm me, but it doesn’t. The more I fight it, the louder he gets. The way she’s looking at me right now doesn’t help. Her lips are parted, her eyes dark with something between hunger and trust, and it’s killing me. I can feel every inch of her pressed against me, warm and alive, her heartbeat a rhythm I know I’ll never forget.I can taste the word “mine” on the tip of my tongue. But it’s not the right time. It’s not fair to her.My wolf doesn’t care about fairness. He want

    AuroraLucas is instantly at my side before I can even process what’s happening. His hands are on my waist, and suddenly, my feet leave the ground.A startled yelp escapes my lips as he lifts me effortlessly and carries me toward the couch. My fingers clutch the front of his shirt on reflex, more out of surprise than fear. “Lucas...what are you doing?”“Keeping you from stepping on more glass,” he mutters, his tone light but edged with concern.Behind him, the little girl giggles, her sleepy voice still soft and raspy. “Silly Uncle Lucas,” she says, and the sound brings a small, involuntary smile to my lips.Mikhail’s voice draws my attention before I even realize I’ve turned toward him. He’s kneeling now, gathering the both of the children into his arms. His boy's little hands clutch at his shirt while the littlge girl leans into his shoulder, whispering something that makes him smile, not a big smile, just a quiet lift of the lips that softens his whole face.It catches me off guard

    AuroraOur family.The words echo in my head, sinking deep and spreading warmth through me. Our family. Not his. Not theirs. Ours. Something soft breaks open inside me, like a fragile piece of my heart finally finding something that it craved for.“Hey, Aurora,” one of the men says as he steps forward. His voice carries a natural confidence, the kind that doesn’t need to be forced or raised to be heard. His smile reaches his eyes, warm and steady, and I feel myself relax without meaning to. “I’m Jake, his big brother. And now yours too.”I study him quietly, taking in the details. His shoulders are relaxed but his stance firm, his posture speaking of someone who has spent his life standing between people and their problems. There is an air of authority around him, not intimidating or controlling, but reassuring. It’s the kind of authority that promises protection. He looks like someone who would step up for anyone he cares about, someone dependable, someone who would solve your probl

    AuroraThe car slows before I even realize we’ve left the main road. The smooth stretch of asphalt fades into a dirt path, framed by tall trees that look like they’ve been standing there forever. Branches arch over us, forming a canopy that filters the fading sunlight into soft streaks of gold. The deeper we go, the quieter it becomes, until all I can hear is the crunch of gravel beneath the tires and the low hum of the engine.The air feels different here... cooler, cleaner, scented faintly with pine and damp earth. I lower the window a little, and the breeze rushes in, brushing against my face like a secret. There’s something wild and beautiful about it, something untouched. I can’t help but lean forward slightly, my eyes tracing the way the light flickers through the trees, catching on the leaves as if trying to hold on before the sun disappears completely.The forest stretches endlessly around us, dense and alive. The fading sunlight spills through in narrow bands, painting everyt

    AuroraThe farther we drive, the more I feel myself relaxing, like every mile between us and the town, my dad, my house, is peeling something heavy off my shoulders.I don’t know where Lucas is taking me. I should probably care. I should ask, at least once, but I don’t. I just don’t. The air feels lighter, and that’s enough.His warmth seeps through the space between us, the kind that wraps around me without even touching. It’s not just the heat of his body, it’s his presence, the steady pull of it, the quiet safety that comes with being near him. His scent fills the car, masculine and something darker I can’t name. It’s intoxicating. I breathe it in without meaning to, and suddenly it’s everywhere, cocooning me, sinking under my skin.The phone in my bag vibrates for the third time. I don’t even look at it. A few hours ago, I would’ve answered it immediately, heart racing, trying to explain myself or giving them update minute by minute. But right now, I can’t bring myself to care.It
