LOGINJORDANDamn!I almost had her for a second there.I was still standing in the same place, but my mind was nowhere near the pack house anymore.I could still feel her hand against my chest. It was soft and warm. The small touch had lasted only a few seconds, but my body had reacted like she had held me there for minutes.I swallowed hard and looked away.Get yourself together, Jordan.I rubbed the back of my neck, trying to shake the feeling away. It wasn't working. The memory of her standing so close to me kept coming back.The way she looked at me with those wet eyes. The way her fingers had moved over my chest. The way she had looked at me when she asked for my name.My wolf was still restless inside me. He hadn't stopped since she touched me.I clenched my jaw.What did I expect?She was the only daughter of our Alpha.She had been brought up with wealth and a soft life. She had never needed to worry about where her next meal would come from or whether she had enough money for some
LIANA"You're and will always be my princess." My heart squeezed at his words.For one small second, I thought he had changed his mind. I looked up at him, waiting for him to say something that would make everything okay again."I'm not going to hurt you with anything. You should try to understand me too..."He pulled away from me.My hands almost reached for him before I could stop myself.I wanted to drag him back. I wanted him to hold me again and forget everything he had just said, but he quickly stepped away, leaving my arms hanging uselessly at my sides.My chest felt empty.He looked at me, his face serious. "You see that bitch you said is a lot more than you see her as, and no one is coming between us." His eyes hardened. "Not even you."I swallowed.My wolf shifted inside me, restless at the sound of his words. "So know your place and start looking forward to finding your mate."I stared at him.For a few seconds, I couldn't even speak. Then I stomped my foot against the floo
LIANA"Where are you going again?!" I ran after my dad and cut him off, forcing him to stop.He stopped with a frown, his eyes immediately narrowing at me. "I've told you countless times not to stop me again, Miliana..." His voice was firm. "I'm going somewhere important."My heart sank.What?!He used my full name.He always called me Liana.Sometimes Princess when he was in a good mood. Even when I annoyed him, he would still say my name in that soft way that reminded me I was his daughter.But now...Miliana.Did he hate me now because of that bitch?My chest tightened as I stared at him.How could I have trusted her so much? How could she do this to me?!I clenched my hands beside me, pressing my nails into my palms as I tried to calm myself.It didn't work.Ever since I caught that bitch with him, everything had changed. My dad barely saw me anymore, or maybe he did, but it didn't feel like it. He would leave early, come back late, and whenever I tried to talk to him, his attenti
THEA"No! No, no..." I shook my head quickly as Rowan carried me towards the door. "You can't. I can't leave like this. I need to inform Rosa and pack my bag."Rowan groaned as he reached the door. I tightened my arms around his neck when he tried to keep walking. "Rowan, drop me. I'm not going to the pack house."He stopped.Slowly, he looked down at me. His eyebrows pulled together as he stared at my face. "You're not?"I shook my head."Okay." His answer came so quickly that I blinked. "I'll get you a new apartment."I stared at him."I want you where I would be seeing you, and you need to resume work."I almost rolled my eyes. Of course. He always wanted things done his way. I placed my hand against his chest and pushed myself away from him a little so I could look at him properly."I'm going to resume work once I've a stable place to live. Till then, I'm staying here." I paused and pointed at the floor. "So drop me, Alpha Rowan."He looked at my hand before looking back at my fac
THEAHe kissed me possessively, as if I was going to disappear again and he didn't want to let me go. His arms stayed around me, holding me close while his lips moved against mine."Hmm." I melted into him, taking him all in. His scent filled my nose, warm and familiar, and my wolf was so happy that I could almost feel her smiling inside me.For a few seconds, I forgot everything. I forgot Liana. I forgot the pack. I forgot what everyone thought about me.There was only Rowan.My Rowan.Seconds later, he broke the kiss, and we both gasped, trying to take in air. He didn't leave me. His arms were still around my waist, and I stayed close to him because I didn't want to move either.My heart was beating so fast that I was sure he could feel it against his chest. I slowly dropped my head on his chest. His heartbeat was strong beneath my ear.Thump. Thump. Thump.I closed my eyes.I wanted us to be like this.I wanted to be with him without his daughter's problem hanging over us, without
THEAI couldn't stay long inside the room I was in after I returned Bobo to his parents.My mind was still filled with questions... How did Rowan find me here? And why did Rosa sound so angry with him?I wanted to know what was going on, so instead of staying inside, I quietly walked back and hid behind the door. I pressed myself against the wall and listened.I heard footsteps coming closer. "Where's she?" That was the first thing Rowan said when he entered. He didn't even allow Rosa to greet him.My heart jumped at the sound of his voice. He sounded worried."She doesn't want to see you," Rosa responded with the same energy.I almost widened my eyes. I had never heard her talk to Rowan like that before. There was no fear in her voice, no respect either. She sounded like someone who had known him for a very long time and wasn't afraid to tell him exactly what she thought.I slowly peered forward, hoping to see his face.I did.Rowan stood near the entrance, his eyes moving around the
THEAA week.It had been a full week since I moved into my best friend’s house. A week since I had that encounter with her dad... since I’d been on my knees in his room, tasting him, losing myself in the sheer, overwhelming size of him.And since then? He had become a ghost.Rowan started hiding
ROWANBeing home today felt like the best thing that had ever happened to me, but it was also the scariest.When my daughter and her best friend walked into the house, I sensed them right away. Something about her friend hit me hard. Her scent drifted toward me, faint because she was an omega, but
THEAHe didn't wait for an answer... He pushed forward, sliding into my mouth. I gasped, a muffled sound of surprise, and immediately began to choke."I knew it. You can't take more than this," he smirked, though his voice was thick with need. He started to move his hips, a slow, punishing drive t
THEA"Will you stop crying, for Moon’s sake?"Liana’s voice cut through the car, sharp and loud, her hands were tight on the steering wheel, her knuckles pale, her eyes fixed on the road ahead.I tried. I really did.But the tears wouldn’t listen.They kept falling, hot and stubborn, blurring the p
