Anastasia

Jake’s body stays unnervingly still under my hands, like he’s turned into stone. His breath evens out, and his head tilts, barely moving. My heart starts picking up, but I keep my voice low.

“Did you hear anything?” I whisper, my lips brushing his jaw as I speak.

He doesn’t answer. His eyes flick over my shoulder, scanning the trees behind us like he’s reading a language written in shadows.

Then he gives a small nod. Barely anything, but I catch it.

“We’re not alone,” he mutters, his voice just above a breath. A frown tugs at the corner of his mouth. “But I don’t catch any scent.”

I pull away from him, my spine snapping straight. My fingers curl around the dagger at my hip, and I slide it free, the cold metal steady in my grip.

“That’s because it’s a hunter,” I tell him, eyes narrowing as I sweep the woods. My voice drops a little lower, sharp and quiet. “We use a mix of chemicals and herbs. It covers our scent. Makes it harder for wolves to pick up on us.”

Jake shifts, his

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 92

    AuroraLast night with Dad stays with me in a way I did not expect. Nothing about him changes on the surface. Same posture. Same clipped tone. Same way of looking at me like he is measuring something invisible. And yet, there is something else threaded through it. Something quiet. I realize it now when I have started seeing Dad in a different light.All my life, I thought disappointing him was my greatest failure. I kept trying not to, and somehow kept doing it anyway. I followed his rules because I thought obedience was the same thing as loyalty. I mistook silence for strength. What I never understood was that he did not want me small and agreeable. He wanted me sharp. Visible. Unmovable when it mattered.The irony sits heavy. I never cared what others thought of me. Their opinions slid off easily. But his reactions always lodged somewhere deep, even when I pretended not to notice. The disappointment in his eyes was never loud. It was subtle. A flicker that vanished too fast to chall

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 91

    AuroraThe house greets me the way it always does. With silence that feels practiced.For a second, I let myself hope. Hope that I will hear footsteps that are not trained to move quietly. Hope that my dad will be home. But as usual, he is not here. Instead, there is motion without warmth. Servants glide past me, nodding politely, already busy with tasks that have nothing to do with me. Someone is polishing the banister like it offended them personally. Another is directing a team of florists who are debating shades of white like it is a life or death decision.I do not need to ask what is happening. I already know. My grandparents’ anniversary is turning into an event. Not a gathering. An event. The kind that gets talked about, photographed, remembered. Grandma will make sure of that. I can already picture her overseeing everything with sharp eyes and a pleasant smile, ensuring that every detail screams Blake without anyone needing to say it out loud.Celebrities. Politicians. People

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 90

    LucasOne thing I love about Aurora, the thing that hooks into me quietly and never lets go, is her confidence. It does not shout. It does not ask permission. It just exists. From the first moment I saw her for the first time this is how I have felt about her. Her upbringing is strict, structured, full of rules that could have bent anyone else into something smaller. It does not do that to her. Even when she is polite, even when she lowers her voice, there is a certainty in her posture, in the way she meets others' eyes.It does something to me when she never hesitates to tell me what she wants. Not asks. Not hints. She just says it, clear and unapologetic. And sometimes she does not wait for me at all. She steps forward, takes the lead, lets me follow without questioning if I will. I do. Every time. There is trust in that, and confidence, and something quietly powerful in the way she owns herself. I love that about her more than I know how to explain. My wolf likes it too. He does no

    AuroraWe walk again after, our steps falling into an easy rhythm like they have always known how to find each other. The night air feels softer now, cooler against my cheeks. My fingers stay laced with his, and every so often his thumb traces a quiet circle against my knuckle. Not asking. Just there. It feels like reassurance without words.The stars stretch above us, scattered and quiet. Somewhere nearby, a breeze moves through the trees, carrying that faint scent of earth and pine. It reminds me of home. Or maybe it reminds me of him. The two things are starting to blur in ways that feel comforting instead of scary.I clear my throat, already smiling because I know how this is going to sound. “I need to tell you something.”He looks at me right away. Always does. His attention shifts fully, like I have gently tapped his shoulder from the inside. “Okay.”“I have to visit my dad,” I say. “It’s my grandparents’ anniversary. He wants me there. I kind of have to show up.”There it is. T

    AuroraLucas’s face freezes in a way I have never seen before. Not anger. Not calculation. Just pure surprise, wide-eyed and unguarded, like his thoughts tripped over each other and fell down the stairs.I laugh before I can stop myself. It slips out warm and unguarded, and that seems to shake him loose.He blinks once. Twice. His jaw tightens, then loosens, like he is testing if his mouth still works. When he finally moves, he steps closer, slow enough that I notice the careful placement of his boots, the way his shoulders square as if he is bracing for impact.He steps closer, eyes searching mine. “Why did you say that I marked you?”I tilt my head, letting the question sit between us. The corner of my mouth lifts. “Did you really think I would never find out?” I raise a brow, just enough. “That bite was not random. It was you claiming me.” My fingers trace the spot beneath my collarbone through the fabric, not revealing it, just reminding him it exists.His hand goes through his ha

    LucasAnastasia knocks once and then pushes the door open like she owns the place when I tell her to come in, which she kind of does, it is her home as well.She sets a paper bag on my desk, right on top of a map I was staring holes into. The smell hits first. Baked potato chips. Warm. Salty. Comfort disguised as food.She just got back from Headquarters. I can tell by the tension still sitting in her shoulders and the faint metallic scent that always clings to her jacket after long days there.Who would have thought the Chief of Hunters would become my sister. Life is funny that way. Not ironic. Just strange and persistent.I glance at the bag and then at her. “You brought these again.”“You like them,” she says, like that explains everything. It does to her. One detail cataloged and stored forever.I once mentioned liking the baked potato chips one of the chefs at HQ makes. Just a passing comment, nothing important. But since then, every time those chips are baked, she brings them f
