I woke up relaxed after sleeping spooned up with my mate. The warmth of his body against mine soothed my wolf, filling her with happiness. Lohan’s fingers traced softly along my arm, and his warm breath felt like a massage against my scalp. I slowly turned to face him.“Hey,” he said gently when our eyes met.“Hey,” I answered back. Waking up like this by his side was pure bliss. Lohan was no longer just a dream in my life—he was my reality.I knew I couldn’t just hide away here with him forever, but I intended to stretch our time alone for as long as I could. When we sat down at the table for breakfast, I decided I should start answering all the messages before people started calling or showing up uninvited.Too many messages! I thought, already feeling drained just looking at the numbers. I decided to ignore all the group chats and focused only on the people who had messaged me directly. I started with my mom, telling her I was fine and that I had already taken off the sling.Damian
Not even the sweets I’d bought, nor the variety of snacks and treats I’d laid out, could pull Lohan’s attention away from me. Instead of fighting my instincts, I surrendered completely, letting him take me into his arms. All we wanted was each other—the touch, the caresses...As if he wanted to make the moment last forever, every move he made was slow and unhurried. There was no urgency, no desperation, not even the slightest rush. His fingers glided softly over my skin as we kissed with tenderness and passion. There was an indescribable beauty in that moment.“I love you,” I told him with all my heart. He smiled at me and brought his lips back to mine. Darkness had already fallen around us. I simply didn’t want to leave his arms.“Your magic little box is making noise,” he said, caressing my face. My phone was ringing.“Just ignore it!” I buried my head in his chest. Ignoring it once was easy, but soon it started ringing again.“I’ll see who’s calling,” I gave in, defeated, sliding o
I hated having to be away from my mate, but I didn’t have many options. He needed clothes, and my pantry needed food. First, I stopped by the grocery store. I went a little overboard, buying a wide variety of things. I wanted him to try our cuisine, to see his reaction to every new dish I made. Since the order was huge, I asked them to deliver it to my address later.Leaving the store, I walked through downtown looking for a good clothing shop. I stopped in front of a display window filled with men’s outfits on mannequins. Since I had no idea what he’d like to wear, I picked a variety of pieces. I already had an idea of his measurements from the clothes of his I’d washed. The saleswoman didn’t ask any invasive questions or wonder why I was buying so many men’s clothes. Still, she kept staring at me intently and smiling the entire time.“Is something wrong?” I asked her. I had my card in hand, ready to pay, but she kept staring so hard I started feeling uncomfortable. Instinctively, my
The sun blazed overhead, painting the sky in shades of red. The desert floor beneath my feet radiated heat, and around me, there was nothing but sand. I kept walking aimlessly, lost in this endless desert, with a restless feeling deep inside—like I was searching for something… or someone. That’s when I saw it: a massive black wolf, sitting atop a rock. I walked closer and followed its gaze, fixed on the vast emptiness ahead, completely expressionless.“Why are you alone?” I asked, my voice hoarse.No answer. Suddenly, the ground gave way beneath me, and I found myself falling into an abyss. My heart ached—not from fear of the fall or the unknown, but from the thought of leaving that wolf alone again. Looking around, I realized I wasn’t the only one falling. Dozens of people were plummeting with me, their faces twisted in panic and horror, their screams echoing through the void.I woke up with a start, my heart still racing, sweat running down my face. I told myself over and over it wa
“Lohan…” I repeated, smiling with satisfaction. Now, Lohan was the most beautiful name in the world to me. “Lohan, are you an Alpha?”“An Alpha?” He frowned slightly, seeming bothered by the question. “No, I’m not an Alpha.”“But are you from an Alpha bloodline?” I pressed. The things he could do… how could he not be, or at least be descended from one?“Absolutely not,” he said firmly. That made it clear—there was no point pushing the subject.“It’s just… the things you’re capable of doing, only Alphas in this world come close to that kind of power.” I placed a hand over the mark on my neck, my thoughts scrambling to find a new logic behind it.“There are many things that make our worlds different,” he said after a short pause.“Mine is full of magic—everywhere, in every creature. But the only magic in this world doesn’t even belong here. It’s just a messy, accidental spillover.”“What do you mean?” I asked, curiosity taking over. But the serious look on his face—and the long silence
I woke up with the dim twilight shining straight into my eyes. My stomach growled, desperately begging for something to eat. When I moved slightly, pain shot through every inch of my body. Carefully, I managed to slip out of the man’s arms—he had fallen asleep right next to me. I glanced at him and thought about everything that had happened between us, about the way I gave myself to him when I barely even knew who he was.My rational side told me this was the craziest thing I’d ever done, but my heart said the exact opposite. So many times I’d wondered if my wolf would ever accept someone other than my fated mate—or if I could ever feel happy and complete with another man. But when she accepted him, I didn’t hesitate. I went all in, and every feeling I gave was returned with such tenderness and sincerity. That unique feeling—I had no doubt it was real love. That’s why I knew I wouldn’t regret what I’d done.“So big and imposing… yet sleeps like a baby,” I whispered, smiling like an id
