The journey back to the Southern territory had been swift, the hum of the engine filling the heavy silence between them. Outside, the world rushed by in a blur, but inside the car, the tension was palpable, hanging in the air like an unspoken storm. Every stolen glance Arda dared to take at Gillow revealed nothing; his expression was a mask of stoic control, his crimson eyes focused on the road ahead.

When they arrived, the grand estate loomed against the twilight sky, its towering walls offering both safety and a reminder of the power Gillow wielded. He exited the vehicle and moved to her side without a word, pulling open her door. Before Arda could protest or even gather her strength, he scooped her up effortlessly. His grip was firm, protective even, but careful as though she were fragile, a porcelain doll teetering on the edge of breaking.

He carried her through the mansion’s grand entrance, the silence inside echoing their unspoken emotions. The soft click of his boots against th

    Gillow's gaze arrested Arda. "Don't hide anything from me, please." He said. Her eyes dropped to the words and she read it quietly. This time her lips trembled. "The moon child is destined to mate the Alpha of the hybrids," she read and looked at Gillow. "This part, we all understand it's me and you. He nodded. Her eyes fell back to the words. "who shall, when the moon aligns like no other," she looked at him again. He was watching, listening with keenness and a kind of reverence as though she was a precious oracle. She saw his belief in her. it made her feel more loved than confident. "This part is talking about the full moon." He nodded and her eyes dropped back to the words "level the mountain among them to nothingness." She looked at him again. "Among them" refers to you and your pack and I." She explained. He nodded. " And the mountain among us?" She swallowed. "It's about you and the pack's craving for my blood." Gillow was confused even though she was making sense. "Ar

  • Born For The Alpha   80: Wrapped in Prophecy

    Arda's eyes scanned the library with wonder. The library still took her breath away—its towering shelves, golden chandeliers, and dust motes floating like galaxies.She lingered on a portrait of Gillow’s ancestors before turning to the battered tome on the oak table. Curiosity tugged at her chest. She was ready now—ready to face every word of the prophecy.Gillow watched her, warmth in his eyes. He loved seeing her awe.“The Elder spends most of his time here,” he said gently. “His office is just behind that door—the inner chamber.”Arda glanced toward the door, imagining the old werewolf vampire surrounded by books and secrets.“In our community,” Gillow continued, “he’s the wisest of us. And still, he’s been searching for a cure for the craving… for your blood.”The words struck her like a sudden chill. Her fingers tightened on the table’s edge.He saw it at once and stepped closer, voice firm but soft. “Calm down, mate. The dose is still active—you’re safe.”She nodded, though the

  • Born For The Alpha   79: Wrapped in Love: The Alpha’s Truth

    It was just after nine when Gillow pulled up to the school gates. He waited in the car, his sharp gaze fixed on the building until Arda appeared. She hurried down the steps with her bag, spotting him at once. Without a word, he leaned over to push the door open, and she slid into the seat beside him.The atmosphere between them had shifted, almost imperceptibly but enough for Arda to feel it. The dread that used to knot her chest whenever she sat in his presence was loosening, replaced by a strange sense of safety. He was still intimidating—he always would be—but there was something about him now that comforted her more than it frightened her.Gillow brushed his knuckles against her cheek, his voice carrying a teasing edge.“How did your session with your supervisor go? Tell me he misbehaved so I can go and snap his neck.”Arda let out a small laugh, her lips curving into a smug little smile. “No… he behaved. He was so nervous he could hardly look at me.”Gillow’s mouth twitched upwar

  • Born For The Alpha   78: Moonlight Acceptance

    The garden shimmered beneath the soft silver hue of twilight, the last strokes of sun bowing out to the deepening night. Lights from the mansion spilled gently across the path, casting golden trails along the edges of stone, leaf, and water. The natural waterfall Arda had always admired now whispered soothingly in the background, its steady cascade sounding like a lullaby sung by the Earth itself.A breeze, cool and perfumed with the scent of wild jasmine and dew-laced roses, brushed past Arda’s cheek. Her hair danced in the wind. It felt as though the night wanted to touch her too, to press itself gently against her skin.She sat cross-legged on a cushioned bench under a canopy of moon-kissed trees. Her notepad lay open on her lap, half-filled with scribbles—notes she’d managed to take in between the moments her heart betrayed her and focused more on him than the work.Gillow was beside her, dangerously close. His voice—velvety and unhurried—filled the space between them like music.

  • Born For The Alpha   77: Regret and Redemption

    Arda remained curled up on the edge of the bed, the weight of guilt pressing down on her like a shroud. Her heart ached—not for herself, but for the people she had dragged into her mess. Karina. Chester. She hadn’t meant for this to happen. She only wanted to protect them… but in the end, she’d betrayed them instead.A soft click echoed in the silence—the door. She didn’t flinch. Gillow was locking her in. Strangely, she was grateful. She hadn’t wanted to leave. She didn’t deserve freedom, not now. She wanted to be alone with her regret.The tears came slowly at first. Then violently. Her chest heaved with silent sobs until sleep overtook her like a thief in the night.---She awoke to a faint rustling. Movement. Distant, yet inside the room.She sat up, disoriented, blinking against the dim lighting. A glance at the clock told her it was nearly past midnight. Her stomach grumbled its own protest, making her wince.Curious and cautious, she stepped quietly toward the sound.There he w

  • Born For The Alpha   76: A Lesson In Consequences

    Arda had stopped struggling by the time she was brought into the room. The fire of her protests had died, leaving only soft sniffling in its wake. Tears streamed down her flushed cheeks, her body trembling—not just from the alcohol wreaking havoc inside her but from something deeper, something raw.Gillow was already there, waiting. His sharp eyes took in the wrecked state she was in, and beneath the surface of his calm, his fury burned. Not at her—no, never at her—but at those who had let this happen. Yet he forced himself to swallow the rage. She needed care, not wrath.At his direction, they placed her gently onto the couch, close to the bed. The moment they stepped back, he moved forward, crouching beside her, his presence a solid force against her frailty.He carried the tea he had prepared. It wasn’t the best remedy, but it was something, and right now, something was better than nothing. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his warmth, his fingers brushing ag
