ARDEN

I didn’t know what I had been expecting from that moment. It wasn’t the exhilarating ‘fireworks’ I felt during my first kiss with Jaxon. My heart didn’t race faster, nor did fear consume my body. Instead, it felt… safe.

He didn’t pull away, but he also didn’t kiss me back. I closed my eyes tightly, anxiety swirling within me as I braced for his reaction. My palms rested on the sides of his face, drawing him impossibly closer. The thought that Kieran might recognize who I was loomed ominously in my mind.

“Oh,” I heard my brother say, a chuckle escaping his lips. “I see that you’re… busy. Anyway, I just came by to let you know that our mansion is throwing a party this weekend. All Alphas are invited. We hope to see you there.”

With that, he turned and walked away, leaving me in a state of internal relief. I felt the urge to pull away, but before I could, Cade’s arms wrapped around my waist.

My eyes widened as he pulled me even closer. Without any warning, he began moving his lips

Arden’s parents, family, or rather pack are a piece of work…scenes or encounters with the West pack, and the anger within me just takes over with pure hatred on them because of the injustice Arden had to endure/lived through.

Shay; I'm kinda with you on that. But I don't like the idea of all of them screwing around. I wouldn't want to hook up with a male who I saw making out with half the school for points!

Is it too early for me to declare myself Team Cade? Because I’m team Cade! I know he is an asshole but I want him to be Arden’s asshole lol. I pray in a future chapter he makes Kieran pay for the way he treats Arden!!

  • Bonds at War: The Untouched is Mine   Hearts at War 59: Damn You

    ROWAN Since when have I had a good night’s sleep like this? Probably never.Not once in all the years I could remember. My nights had always been poisoned—restless, haunted, full of shadows that stayed with me even when my eyes were closed.When I was younger, it was the nightmares of comparison. I felt like I was never enough. Sometimes, I wondered what it would feel like if Elijah was gone. However, the day he actually died, the nightmares grew even more monstrous. I missed him so much that I wanted it to be me instead. When I met Ellana, the nights shifted. They were filled with a different fear—the gnawing doubt that she would leave and that she never truly loved me. I would lie awake next to her, looking at her, wondering if she was already planning her escape.And when Tessa left me, there was no comparison. It was her image that tormented me. Her laughter and her voice—and then her silence, her absence, like a thorn lodged deep into my chest. That was the cruelest nightmare o

    TESSA I looked down at Rowan, his wrists bound together, the dark tie stark against his skin. A small click of the tongue escaped my lips as I observed him like this. He was too handsome even now. I grabbed the polo from the floor and pulled it up to cover his face. The fabric smelled like him, which made my insides clench. “What is this?” he asked, his voice muffled against the cloth. “Don’t remove it,” I snapped. “Otherwise, I’ll stop.” There was a second of silence before a soft exhale escaped his lips. After that, he stopped complaining. Good. My gaze drifted lower, settling on the impressive length between his legs. My fingers trembled slightly as I reached for him, my hand wrapping around the base of his cock. I couldn’t help the gasp that hitched in my throat. My fingers couldn’t even meet! It was a thick, solid, throbbing column against my palm, and a faint sheen of pre-cum glistened at its tip. I slid down to his waist until his cock and my hole met. Again, I hovered

    TESSA“Slow down, puppy,” I said, breathless after he had finished devouring my lips. He was still grinding against my body, and even though he wasn’t in his rut, it felt like he was. I looked down at his pants and saw that the tent had grown even bigger. I was sure my chest was flushed from embarrassment, reality hitting me all at once when I realized I was basically doing such intimate things with a man who thinks this is a dream. “More,” Rowan pleaded, snapping me out of my thoughts. “I want more.” I bit my lip and wondered if I should continue this. I let out a deep breath and gathered enough courage to say the next words. “Remove your clothes then,” I said, trying to smirk. He wasted no time sitting up, with me still on his lap. He removed his shirt and showed off his body. Did he get bigger? His once flawless skin, I once remembered, was also peppered with scars now. Then, he pulled me closer to his body, our bare chests touching each other. I gasped in shock when he took

    TESSA Fate really had a way of laughing in my face.At the wedding, it was the cursed seat next to him. Now, here I was—pressed against a bare wall, in a half-finished house, with Rowan’s breath hot over my lips.I should’ve been terrified. Maybe even furious. But all I could think as my eyes darted around was how ridiculous this place looked. The house was stripped down to its bones. There was no furniture in sight, no lights hanging in the living room. It honestly looked like a warehouse. I clicked my tongue. Is this where he was taking Zaria to? Rowan’s eyes didn’t move from me. That was when I realized that his gaze wasn’t just on my face. It was everywhere. Roaming, devouring, taking in every bare inch of me.Heat rushed to my cheeks, and I cursed silently. Damn it. I nearly forgot I was completely naked. Climbing through that damned stream had also left my skin slick, glistening with water that clung in droplets along my collarbone, thighs, and hair. I tried to play it off

    TESSA I was already tired of her, but Zaria recklessly lunged again. Her nails barely grazed the air before I caught her wrist and twisted, forcing her to take a step back. The sound of her breath told me enough. She didn’t have the strength anymore, not the way she used to.“Goodness,” I exhaled, shoving her away. “You’re weak now.”Her eyes flared, but instead of charging again, she laughed like a lunatic. “Just go,” I sighed, rolling my shoulders. “I don’t have any plans of going between you and Rowan, if that’s what you’re worried about. I just came here for Arden.” Zaria smirked, appearing like she had been waiting for me to say that. “Good.” She crossed her arms, chin lifting high. “Because we’re happy now.”“He treats me well,” she added, her lips curving into a cruel little smile. “Even if you two are mates, he acts more like a mate to me than he ever will to you. And he—” she stepped closer, lowering her voice so her words could pierce deeper— “can use his body really wel

    TESSA Arden cleared her throat. “It’s only gotten better because Cade and the Alphas of the different factions are controlling it within our borders. But even then, it’s so difficult. We thought it was over, for the past year, but they recently came back, and now they’re harder to control—not only because of their number but because of their traits.”“Traits?” I asked, frowning.Arden sighed, her shoulders drooping. “I can’t explain it. It’s like the rogues are… evolving.”I bit my lip, my thoughts immediately running wild. Rogues evolving? That wasn’t something I’d ever heard before, not even in the old books I found in Edith and Winston’s place. Evolving meant adapting, surviving longer, and becoming more dangerous. I didn’t like the sound of that. I lifted the glass to my lips and drowned another gulp, letting the sweet taste coat my tongue.Then Arden shook her head, trying to dismiss her own words. “But don’t think too much about it,” she said softly. “If you’re with a pack not
