LOGINVelvet’s POV Something in me changed after that night in his study.It wasn’t the heat, or my feelings. The way he had pinned me, trembling with great effort of restraint himself, the way his wolf had hovered between wanting to claim me and teaching me the steps for my mate to claim me, this sparked a flame in me. It was my desire to keep him to myself.Zavian wanted me.Badly. Just as much as I wanted him.And Selina suspected it.The more she hovered around him in the pack house, the more obvious it became that she wasn’t just a harmless guest overstaying her welcome. She wanted him, her eyes lingered too long whenever she saw him, her voice softened too sweetly sounding coy whenever she spoke to him, and she acted like every conversation was an audition for her to become Luna.Three weeks ago, I would’ve folded under that pressure of having her around.I would’ve shrunk in her presence, swallowed my jealousy, and pretended it didn’t bother me.But now?Not anymore, I have to fight
Velvet's POV Another wave of heat crashed into me with a vengeance. Just as my phone slid from my shaking hands, its heavy thud echoing around the dimly lit room, I knew I wouldn't be getting any more distraction from the fact that Zavian had been ignoring me.I needed relief. Fast. Before the cramping and the slick became uncontrollable. All these episodes...I could barely think straight. The sad thing? This was only the beginning.My feeble attempts to ride the wave alone were borderline pathetic. I needed an alpha's knot - preferably Zavian's. That last thought had a low whimper escaping my throat.Despite knowing that he might still be mad at me. I left my room, descending the stairs in a lustful haze. I stumbled at the landing twice and cursed under my breath, the lure of my heat making me clumsy.Zavian's study came into sight and, biting my lip, I knocked on the door as quietly as I could, hoping I wouldn't wake anyone. No one answered. Frustrated tears sprung in my eyes befor
Zavian’s POVI heard the voices before I even reached the hallway. They were sharp, loud, and too close to turning into something worse. My chest tightened because I already knew who it was.I stepped closer and saw Velvet standing right in front of Selina. Her shoulders were tense, her hands balled, and her eyes burning with anger. Selina had her arms folded, like she was bored.“Go,” Velvet said, her voice low but shaking. She tried to push Selina back, but Selina didn’t move. Selina only lifted her chin like Velvet was a joke.“You should be the one going,” Selina replied. Her tone was light, almost playful, but sharp enough to cut. “Since the little miss is in heat, I’m even doing you a favor by letting you near my man.”Velvet’s jaw clenched hard. I saw the hurt flash first, then the rage. Selina noticed it, and she smiled like she enjoyed it.“Stay in your lane,” Selina continued. “Soon I’ll be the Luna, so you better understand your place.”Velvet’s hand moved so fast I didn’t
Velvet’s POVThree weeks had passed in what felt like a dream, and now our vacation was over. Zavian and I stepped off the plane at RavenHills, the familiar Los Angeles skyline greeting us. I felt a flutter in my chest, a mix of excitement and unease. Even though I was eager to return, a part of me dreaded what awaited us.Zavian held my hand tightly as we walked toward the car. “Hey,” he murmured softly, brushing a loose strand of hair behind my ear. “Just remember, I only love you. No matter what, you’re the only one.”I nodded, but the reassurance barely eased the tightening in my chest. I wanted to believe him completely, but the thought of Selina being here gnawed at me. I had seen her once while I was still here. Now her presence alone made my stomach twist.By the time we reached the estate, I could see movement in the living room through the glass doors. My heart sank. There she was—Selina, dressed elegantly, smiling at someone off-camera. Her aura was calm, confident, and irr
Velvet’s POVI couldn't take my eyes off Zavian as he lectured in front of the students through his laptop, his deep voice sending delicious shivers down my spine. Three torturous hours of online class and all I could think about was how badly I wanted him. The way I kept staring at Zavian made him lose focus so he left me and went to his private office,but I could still hear his voice from where I was.As soon as he announced the break, I knew I had to sneak into his private office. My heart raced with anticipation and I could already feel my core pulsing with need for him. I quickly made my way through the door that separated us, my skin tingling from the risky excitement.Zavian's door was unlocked. I let myself in silently, locking it behind me with a soft click. And there he was - my Alpha, still seated at his desk chair as he reviewed his notes.He looked up at me in surprise and I took my chance. With a mischievous grin, I sauntered over to him, swaying my hips seductively."I
Velvet’s POVZavian sat at his desk, his laptop open, headset on. I watched him from the bed, my body still humming from last night. Three hours of his medical class stretched ahead of him, and I had no choice but to sit quietly. But quiet wasn’t something my body agreed with.I shifted under the blanket, curling slightly, feeling the warmth of him still linger on my skin. Every touch from last night and earlier this morning replayed in my mind. The memory of him pressing against me, of his hands, his lips—it was impossible to ignore. I wanted him, and I hated that I had to wait.He glanced up once, catching my eyes. That small smirk he gave me was enough to make my heart race. “You okay there?” he asked, voice low but teasing.I nodded, biting my lip. “I’m fine.” But I wasn’t. My body throbbed for him. Every part of me ached to feel him again, to have him close, to feel that control, that fire he always stirred in me.He laughed softly, shaking his head. “You’re staring way too much.
Velvet’s POVI watched with awe as he gave the order and once everyone returned to where they stopped. It was like they're mainly here to entertain us. “Wait!” I stopped them, they reacted with lingering eyes. “What's that?” Harry asked, seeming to recall what he was saying before Zavian became q
Velvet's POV I never got to see Zavian the rest of the day but I didn't dwell on it.I was also angry at the way he introduced me to his friends. It was obvious that he was standing his ground on not taking me as his mate.Though frustrated there was nothing I could do.I put my focus on my academ
Velvet’s POVThe evening was sunny, and I couldn't return right away to the pack estate. I felt quite weak, confused and uninterested in life. Daddy was the cause.He has been acting strangely cold after my attitude in class, which I truly felt sorry for afterwards. My wolf couldn't just handle se
