Se connecterFAYE Seriously, Chad was just going to leave it at that?He told me that he might like me, and then what? After that night, he dared to tell me not to stress my “pretty mind” about it before turning around and going to sleep as though he hadn’t just kissed me and turned my entire world upside down.What the hell was that supposed to mean?I had spent the entire night staring at the ceiling, replaying his words over and over again, trying to figure out what was going on inside that thick skull of his.However, the bastard seemed perfectly fine the following morning. He hadn’t even brought up the kiss again—not a single word. Meanwhile, I was losing my damn mind.Was I supposed to ask him what he meant? Did he actually like me, or was he just confused because of the mate bond? And why did he kiss me in the first place if he was going to act as though it had been nothing afterward?I had a million questions, and the one person who could answer them was determined to drive me insane.
FAYE What the hell was Chad even talking about a while ago?I wanted to run after him and ask what exactly he meant by his words. Better yet, I wanted to grab him by the collar and remind him that we had already agreed to pretend we weren’t mates.I crossed my arms over my chest, letting out an irritated huff as I remembered the way he’d looked at me. His expression had been so serious that, for a moment, I’d actually forgotten how to respond.He hadn’t even waited for me to say anything before walking away, leaving me standing in the middle of nowhere with a thousand questions inside my head. It was already evening, but my heart was still racing. It had started racing the moment he’d pulled me away from Leomar, and even now, I could feel it beating quickly against my chest. I pressed a hand over it, frowning as I tried to calm myself down.I took a deep breath, only to catch the faint traces of his scent lingering around me. I shook my head and decided that the best thing I could
CHADYeah, I was never going to fall for her. Never, ever. I repeated those words in my head like a mantra.I still couldn’t understand how the Moon Goddess could have such a twisted sense of humor. Out of all the women in the world, she had to pair me with Faye.However, despite everything, I couldn’t get her out of my head.Today, our group arrived at a place that had recently been struck by a calamity.Several families had lost their homes, and many were left with little more than the clothes on their backs. That was why Wyatt and I decided to organize this drive to help them rebuild their pack.We had set up a temporary relief center, and we were currently distributing supplies and checking on the families who had gathered there.We had been here all morning, and I still hadn’t seen Faye ever since we arrived, so naturally, I found myself looking around for a certain annoying woman.I glanced at the volunteers carrying boxes, the people lining up for food, and the children huddled
FAYEHow the heck did it turn out that Chad was my mate? It couldn’t be possible. My mate was Alex’s brother, remember? If I was given a second-chance mate, how did it turn out to be Chad? And why did it manifest now, of all times?I was sitting on his couch while he was leaning against the wall. The two of us hadn’t said anything until now, our combined scents still lingering in the air—which just made everything worse. It was impossible to ignore. Every time I breathed, I could smell him, and every time I caught his scent, my heart seemed to beat a little harder in my chest.I hated the fact that some part of me could feel the bond between us, even though every other part of me was screaming that this had to be a mistake.“What are we going to do?” he asked, finally breaking the silence.I glanced at him and hated how handsome he looked in my eyes at this moment. His features seemed sharper, his eyes more intense, and there was something about being this close to him that made me aw
FAYEI must be out of my mind.I lay there on the bed, listening to the sound of the shower running in the bathroom. My body still carried the ache of everything that had happened last night, and although I was still a little out of my mind, I could still remember everything.Every single thing.Honestly, some part of me wanted to blame Chad, but at the same time, I knew exactly what I had been doing. I was the one who asked him to help me with my heat—or whatever the hell this was. I had been the one who went to him, the one who had asked for his help, and the one who had willingly allowed everything to happen.So, no. I couldn't exactly put the blame on him.I ran my fingers through my hair and slowly pushed myself up from the bed, already grimacing as I anticipated something gushing out of me. However, to my surprise, I was already clean. In fact, I was already dressed in his clothes.I looked down at myself, then slowly glanced around the room.What the hell?I walked over to the
CHADI stayed there for a while, holding her close, my entire body tense as my mind raced with everything that had just happened.It hit me all at once that this shouldn’t be happening. In fact, I shouldn’t even be here. Especially not with her.However, the sight of her bent over in front of me, her butt pushed back against my hips, made my restraint snap. I pulled out slowly, watching the way her walls tried to grip me, reluctant to let go of my cock. Her moans were muffled by the covers, and I was afraid she couldn’t breathe properly, so my hands found her waist and I gently turned her around, settling her against the mattress.Faye’s eyes met mine, wide and dark, and fuck, she looked beautiful.Her lip seemed slightly swollen from how hard we had been kissing a while ago, so I pressed a soft kiss against it, suddenly feeling sorry for being so rough with her.However, when I pulled back, I caught sight of her flushed face, her disheveled hair, and the way her chest rose and fel
ALEXANDRIAWhat even prompted me to do this? I had never kissed anyone before, but in that moment, I was glued to his lips like I had done so plenty of times prior. It was just a mere pressing of our lips—frankly, because I had no idea how to kiss. However, the sparks that flared with that kiss fe
ALEXANDRIAAs the last of the casket was buried beneath the soil of our humble pack, tears pricked the back of my eyes once more. I let one final tear fall before I turned away from the sight, leaving the elders to tend to Alexei’s final resting place. My pack members looked to me, most of them ap
ALEXANDRIA“You have to let him go, Alex,” Ryland, our pack’s Beta, said, his voice trembling as he grasped my arm, trying to pull me away from the most important man in my life—my twin brother. I turned to him, my eyes brimming with unshed tears. “I can’t just let him go! He has to live!” My gaz
ALEXANDRIA“Good day, Headmaster Sora,” the Alphas said in unison as they settled into their seats, causing me to purse my lips. Sora. Even his name carried a sense of popularity. His deep voice resonated through the hall once more. “It has been a month since the freshmen arrived on campus. How ar
