ARDEN

“In conclusion,” Cade began, looking around the room.

He spoke with authority that the others couldn’t help but watch and listen. Most of our classmates were dosing off due to the number of presentations. However, the moment our group stood in front, they came alive.

It was going really well. We presented without any cue sheets, and Cade, who was in charge of the presentation, created a scientific model that would simulate that of a knotting process.

It was a surprise for us, too, and I couldn’t believe he had done something like it while going through all the classes and leading his faction.

“Knotting in werewolves can be understood as a biologically adaptive copulatory mechanism, wherein an erectile bulbus glandis at the base of the phallus temporarily swells to ensure prolonged intromission, thereby maximizing reproductive success through sperm retention—an evolutionary trait optimized for species with high competition and instinct-driven pair bonding,” he ended.

Shay; I still think Cade is THE one! But I think maybe Rowan saw something when she helped him, and now he knows she's the virgin!?

I’m nervous for what is going on with Rowan. I’m so set on Cade and rooting for him but now I’m wondering if the set up is actually for Rowan. Cade was just the distraction for a Arden/Rowan/Tessa triangle which really sucks because there is nothing worst than best friends going for the same guy

    ELIAS Was this real? Or was I dreaming? It felt like a little fairy was right between my legs, and she was looking up at me so innocently while licking the tip of my dick. I didn’t think my rut would come this soon after finding out we were mates. There were usually some signs before it would happen.However, the wolfsbane must have made me too weak, which led to this irregular cycle. My wolf was going crazy in my head; meanwhile, I couldn’t bring myself to push her away even though I knew this was wrong. It felt like I was corrupting her even though she was doing it out of her own accord. Where did she even learn this? The last time, she didn’t even know what a handjob was, and now she was giving me a blowjob? “Am I not doing well?” she suddenly asked with her lips still against the tip. I bit my lip to suppress a groan as I looked down at her again. “Fuck,” I cursed. “Who taught this to you?” For a moment, I felt a surge of jealousy run through my veins. “Tessa and Arden

    MINA He didn’t respond after I asked him that question. He just kept moving restlessly, his breath uneven against my neck. I couldn’t move, not because he was pinning me down, but because my body had gone traitor on me. He was grinding against my thigh. I could feel the unbearable heat on my skin, making it feel too sensitive. He made a sound under his breath, appearing like he was fighting with himself. I squeezed my eyes shut.“Elias,” I whispered, sweat already forming on my temples. I looked at him, but he couldn’t even lift his head to meet my gaze. “Elias,” I said again, but he grinded once more against my thigh. “Do you need me to help you again?” I asked. That was when he made another sound. At that moment, a memory crashed into my thoughts. It was at that time when Arden, Cade, Tessa, and Rowan had gathered at Elias’ house. After telling me about Elias’ supposed future seen by Calla, they shifted onto another topic. “You really… held onto his cock?” Arden asked, eye

    MINA After he said those words, he doubled over in pain.My breath left me all at once.“Elias,” I held onto him instinctively, catching him before he could fully fold. His body was rigid beneath my hands. “You shouldn’t have said that,” I muttered, panic threading through my voice despite my effort to stay calm. “Are you okay?”For a split second, fear flooded me. My mind raced through every warning Calla had given, and every unfinished sentence Rowan had swallowed. However, the next second, he looked up at me and smiled. I froze.That was when it hit me.This man was fucking kidding.I let out a slow, exhausted breath and gently, but firmly, pushed him back against the pillows. “You really can’t be serious right now, huh?” I said, turning my face away so he wouldn’t see how close I was to strangling him with the IV tube.He chuckled, then reached out and caught my chin between his fingers, forcing me to look back at him.“See?” he said softly. “You can’t even bear seeing me get h

    MINA We were left in the silence of our own heartbeats.Calla and Rowan had already left an hour ago; however, their voices still lingered in my mind. I was closely linked to death.A lot of things began to make sense then, sliding neatly into place like pieces of a puzzle I hadn’t known I was assembling my whole life. It wasn’t because I was unlucky. It wasn’t because danger followed me like a curse I couldn’t shake.It was because I was supposed to be dead.I had been walking on borrowed time from the very beginning.“This bubble tea is delicious,” Elias said casually, breaking the silence. “I don’t even like sweet things,” he muttered. I turned to look at him.He was leaning back against the pillows, one hand holding the cup Rowan had brought. Calla, despite loving that certain bubble tea and swearing she would not share it with anyone, gave it to him after learning of our fates. “Or maybe it’s because I found out that we’re mates. Fuck the Moon Goddess or giving us this situa

    MINA Before Calla could explain further, the door opened.“Calla, my baby! I’m here!” Rowan’s voice filled the room, cutting straight through the tension. “I brought you your favorite bubble tea. Don’t tell your mom—”He stopped.I felt it the moment he did. Rowan’s gaze swept the room in a single glance, and the fatherly smile slid off his face.He didn’t ask questions right away. He simply crossed the room, set the drinks and his bag down carefully, and crouched in front of Calla.“Hey,” he said gently, arms opening. “Come here.”Calla moved instantly, collapsing into her dad. Rowan lifted her easily, holding her close, one hand cradling the back of her head, the other rubbing comforting circles into her back. It was a silent reminder that no matter how much she knew or saw, she was still a child.She buried her face against his shoulder and held on.Rowan exhaled slowly, eyes closing for a brief second before he looked at us again. “Did she see something?” he asked. He must have

    MINA With Tessa and the other healthcare workers gone, we were left all alone with the presence of Calla. I could feel the young girl’s stare weighing down on us. If there was another thing she was really good at aside from being smart and powerful, it was judgment. She really did have a very good judging stare. However, I couldn’t blame her.If I were witnessing what she was witnessing right now, I would judge us, too.Elias hadn’t loosened his hold on me yet, and worse, it felt like he was scenting me far too much. His breath lingered on my neck, and he didn’t even hide the fact that he was trying to claim me. It was definitely Alpha instinct, heightened by injury and separation. Still, this was a hospital. And more importantly—“A child is here,” I whispered, angling my head to murmur it against his ear.He hummed, entirely unbothered.Then his gaze shifted, landing squarely on Calla.“A child would be cute,” he said thoughtfully. Then, with alarming ease, “Do you want to make
