FANGS AND FATE: Bitten by the Alpha Chapter Twenty Three: What Was So Funny
ARIAThe walk back to the office with Caleb was quiet but easy.The sun had shifted behind thin clouds, softening the heat. I thanked him for the food with a genuine smile—one of the few real ones I’d had in days.“You’re welcome,” he said. “Anytime. You look less haunted now. Slightly.”“Slightly’s better than nothing,” I muttered.He winked and peeled off toward his department while I turned for mine, sipping the last of my soda. The lightness in my chest started to fade as soon as I walked back in.I sat at my desk, reached for my phone—And froze.Three missed calls.All from Knox.My chest tightened instantly, like a rope pulling inward. The screen glared up at me with his name stamped in bold, silent letters. Three missed calls.Why would he call me?My throat dried up.He’d called me?After everything that had happened earlier—the intensity of his gaze, that pull I couldn’t explain, the way my skin had burned where he looked?Why would he call?A dozen wild thoughts fired in my

ARIAThe sound of his phone broke whatever that moment was.Knox didn’t move at first, his jaw tense as the buzzing continued. Then, slowly, he stepped away and answered.“Speak.”His voice was clipped. Cold.He didn’t glance back.I took the out.Without thinking, I grabbed my phone, turned, and walked away—out of his office, into the hallway, down the elevator. My hand trembled as I hit the button, but I didn’t stop moving.By the time the doors closed, I was still holding my breath.---I ended up at the office.Not because I had to be there—technically, I wasn’t even scheduled—but because I needed somewhere familiar. Somewhere safe.I dropped into my chair and stared at my screen like it might tell me who the hell I was turning into.Because this? This wasn’t normal.I was raised by hunters. I knew how to recognize danger. I knew what it meant to be smart—careful—alive.And yet… when Knox looked at me like that, when he got close…My body didn’t scream run.It leaned in.I hated t

ARIAThe house was quiet. Too quiet.I shut the door slowly, trying not to make a sound. Maybe if I moved soft enough, I could make it to my room without anyone seeing—“Wow.”I froze.Daphne leaned against the kitchen counter, wine glass in hand, eyes sharp and smug. “Well, well. Look who finally crawls home. Where were you last night, little coward?”I frowned.She tilted her head. “Let me guess. Hiding under your bed while the real hunters went out?”“I had work,” I muttered, trying to step around her.“Oh sure. Work. Always your excuse. You conveniently disappear right when we go on a full moon run.”I kept walking.She laughed. “Figures. You always run from anything real. Admit it—you were just scared. Again.”“Daphne.”Jordan’s voice cut through the room. He stood at the hall’s edge, arms folded.“That’s enough.”Daphne scoffed. “Why do you always defend her? She’s not a kid. If she’s gonna sneak off like a rat, she should at least be ready for questions.”I walked faster, fists

ARIAHe didn’t say anything else. Just turned and walked toward the door, motioning for me to follow.I hesitated. Just for a second.But when he looked back, his eyes were already darker, more dangerous. I followed.He led me down the hall—silent, smooth steps, like this was routine. Like he’d walked this exact path before.And when we stopped in front of the door, I knew it.It was the same room. The same one I’d stayed in the first time I came here.I stepped inside and he left without another word. The door clicked shut.I didn’t sleep. Not a single minute. Time bled out into nothing. It wasn’t just fear or confusion—my brain refused to shut off.Even after he left, even after the door locked behind him, I just lay there, wide awake, staring at the ceiling like it had answers I needed at the moment.The room was spotless—like someone had come in right before me and scrubbed it top to bottom. Everything looked like it was waiting. Like I was expected.Too neat. Too quiet.And that

I didn’t move for a long time.Not even after the door clicked shut. Not even when silence wrapped around me like a shroud. I just sat there—still clutching that silver knife like it could protect me, shaking, breathless, my legs folded awkwardly beneath me on the cold floor.What the hell just happened?The image of him—of Knox—burned behind my eyes. That inhuman shift. Those glowing gold eyes. The chains. His voice. His body. God, his body.I forced a shaky breath out and blinked hard. I needed to get out of my head.I needed to get out.My eyes darted around the room in a blur of panic until they landed on something lying by the edge of the shattered restraints. The wristwatch.I crawled to it, fingertips brushing against the cracked face, and my breath caught.I’d been here over an hour. Just sitting there. In shock. Paralyzed by everything I’d seen.What was I doing?Why was I still here?He was a werewolf. A real one. Dangerous, naked, and clearly unstable. I didn’t belong here.

ARIA The moment his form solidified, all of the confidence, bravery—whatever that was—died an immediate death. I stumbled backward with a soft yelp, my legs refusing to cooperate as my butt met the cold floor again. “Oh—oh my god—” I blinked rapidly, trying to look anywhere but there, but my eyes kept betraying me. He was naked. Fully, gloriously, terrifyingly naked. And aroused. My throat dried up. My thoughts scattered. The rawness of his form—taut muscles slick with sweat, the rise and fall of his broad chest, that sharp line leading down his abdomen to the thick length between his legs—it burned itself into my brain. I didn't mean to look. I really didn't. But I looked. Again. And again. “Shit,” I whispered, dragging my eyes back to his face—just as his gold eyes flickered, beginning to shift back to their usual stormy grey. His jaw clenched. His body… still trembling from the shift as his fists curled at his sides. And then the chains snapped. The loud, bru
