"Where did it go?" I whisper to the empty bathroom.
I pat my collarbone again. My skin is damp and bare. The heavy, comforting weight of the crystal is gone. Panic hits me like a physical blow, making my lungs feel tight. I start ripping the room apart. I don't care about the water dripping from my hair onto the tile. I get down on my stomach, pressing my cheek against the cold floor to look under the vanity. I check the corners by the toilet and the dark spac

Bonded to the Bastard: My Rejection, His Obsession Chapter 133
Alanza’s POV"Alanza, honey," a voice drips with artificial sweetness, making the hair on my arms stand up.I turn to find Chloe closing the distance between us. She moves with a practiced sway, her hips cutting a path through the crowd as every guy in the vicinity tracks her progress. My eyes widen at her outfit. She is wearing a top that barely qualifies as clothing and a skirt so short it looks like a stiff breeze would be a legal liability.Her hair reminds me of Lucia’s with those messy auburn waves, but the similarity ends there. Her face is a canvas of heavy liner and shimmering shadows, the kind of professional look you see in viral beauty tutorials. It is impressive work, though it feels like an armor of paint compared to my bare skin.She reaches me and plants an enthusiastic kiss on my cheek. Her lips stay there a second too long, leaving a damp, lingering sensation that makes me want to wipe my face."You look stunning," she

Alanza’s POV"How are the sessions going?" Brendan asks. He tilts a plastic cup back, taking a long pull of beer. The heavy, fermented smell of the stuff hits my nose and makes my stomach do a slow roll. I try to keep my face neutral so I do not look like a total killjoy. "Amara has a reputation for being a drill sergeant, but she is easily the best trainer we have."I shift my weight, feeling a bit of the tension leave my shoulders. Talking about training feels safe. It is something I can actually control. "It is brutal," I admit. "I am sore in places I did not even know existed. But she does not coddle me, and I like that. It feels like I am actually making up for lost ground instead of just being handled with kid gloves."Brendan gives me a sympathetic look, though there is a hint of a grin there too. "She is definitely not a fan of coddling. But hey, it works. Give it a few months and you will be a total menace on the field. She will turn you into a wa

Alanza’s POV"Just keep your head up," Sombra says, her voice a steady anchor inside my mind. "You are doing fine. One step at a time."I take a slow breath, forcing the stale, crowded air into my lungs. It helps. I let it out slowly, trying to shed the layer of panic clinging to my skin.Lucia is already moving, her hand firm on my wrist as she tugs me toward the back of the house. "Let's find the kitchen," she shouts over the bass. "I need a drink, and you look like you need to hold something."I follow the back of her head, using her as a shield to part the sea of dancing bodies. The air in the kitchen is thinner, cooler, and the music loses some of its teeth once we pass the doorframe. A group of shifters stands around a marble island, their laughter ringing out over the sound of ice hitting glass.Lucia reaches over the counter and grabs two red cups. She holds them out, her eyes scanning the row of bottles next to the sink. "Pick your p

Alanza’s POV“Are you actually going to get out of the car, or do I need to drag you?” Lucia asked, her voice bright with a teasing edge that didn’t quite mask her own nervous energy.I took a shaky breath and looked out the window at the dark road. We had left the bright lights and constant hum of Granite City behind miles ago. Now, the tires hummed against a narrow strip of asphalt that cut through the deep woods of the Westwood pack lands. It was the kind of place that felt empty to a human but crowded to a shifter. Every shadow between the trees felt like a pair of eyes.“I’m coming,” I whispered, though my fingers stayed locked around the door handle.A strange, cold itch started at the base of my neck and crawled down my spine. It was that heavy, wrong sensation that usually preceded a disaster. Beside me, Lucia noticed the way my shoulders hunched toward my ears. She reached over and squeezed my hand, her p

Alanza’s POV"You have to be kidding me," I said, leaning into the glass of the full-length mirror.The girl looking back wasn't the one I usually saw. Lucia’s jeans gripped my legs in all the right places, showing off muscle I didn't realize I’d built. I twisted around to check the view from behind. London’s brutal training sessions were finally paying off in ways that had nothing to do with fighting.Lucia sat on the edge of her mattress, her own floor buried under a literal mountain of discarded shirts. She gave me a smug grin. "What did I tell you? We’re officially the same size."I smoothed the denim over my hips. It felt strange. "I’ve spent years being the 'big' friend. This is actually a little disorienting."Back when I was stuck doing all the grocery runs and cooking, I’d managed to sneak enough extra portions to keep a soft layer of comfort on my frame. It wasn't much, but it was a security blank

Alanza’s POV"So, is it like a constant fluttering from your stomach all the way up to your chest?" Lucia asked.She moved her hand in a wide arc, tracing a line from her belly to just under her ribs. I gave her a slow nod, feeling the heat rise in my neck."And does your skin actually prickle when you hear him speak?" she pressed.I nodded again, looking down at the table."Do even the most normal things he says start to sound... suggestive?"My face burned. "Yes," I admitted, my voice barely a whisper.Lucia let out a triumphant hum and picked up her burger. "Congratulations. You have officially crossed the border into Flirt Town. This is your very first crush, Alanza."She took a massive bite, closing her eyes with a groan of pure satisfaction. After she swallowed, she pointed the half-eaten burger at me like a witness in court."Not my first," I muttered.I th

Alanza’s POV"You aren't just a glitch in the shifter DNA, Alanza," Sombra’s voice echoes in the back of my skull, heavy with a warning I don't want to hear. "If what I suspect is true, you are the only one of your kind left."I stare at the peeling paint on the living r

Luciano’s POV“You think I don’t know what you did?”Alanza’s small shape vanished into the shadows of the nearby trees. Spring was trying to burst them open, but the darkness was already winning. The full moon, high and cool, felt like a spotlight on my failure.Alanza Verity. Beta Verity’s younge

Alanza’s POV“Don't move.”His voice, low and rough, faded as he stepped away to answer his phone. I was still leaning against the rough bark of the tree, my body humming with a dizzy mix of shame and wild energy. Just moments ago, I’d let a man I barely knew, a man who admitted to stalking me, thr

Luciano’s POVGala (III)"Where do you think you're going, little wolf?"My wolf howled in triumph. I kept to the shadows of the garden, stalking the little blonde. She was focused on her phone, oblivious. The screen's glow lit her face, casting a soft light on her features. I saw the reflection in
