But when their forbidden relationship is exposed, Blake chooses his future over her, denies everything, and leaves Ellie to face the humiliation alone. Heartbroken and desperate to escape the pain, Ellie makes one reckless mistake at a party. She kisses a stranger. What should have been a meaningless drunken kiss turns into a scandal when the stranger turns out to be Chase NightShade, Nightfall’s star Alpha and captain. To silence the rumors threatening his future, Chase proposes a fake relationship. Ellie agrees. But while Chase openly gives her the attention and respect she has always craved, Blake realizes too late that he is losing her. Now Blake wants her back. Chase refuses to let her go. And Ellie must decide if she belongs with the boy who broke her heart… or the man who finally made her feel chosen.
더 보기~ChaseI threw the lacrosse ball and let out a low, frustrated groan when it hit the metal edge of the goalpost and flew off the field.Derrick, our goalkeeper, frowned at me as if he could already tell something was off with me, and honestly, he wasn’t wrong.I had been missing all my shots, which was unusual enough to annoy me because I barely missed strikes even during warmups, and I definitely didn’t go easy on anyone, including myself.Today, however, my focus kept slipping in a way I couldn’t fully control. My mind was constantly pulled elsewhere no matter how hard I tried to stay present. The frustrating part was that I already knew what was causing it, even though I kept trying to ignore it.Ryder had been restlessly pacing in my head as the memory of that drunk girl’s kiss kept resurfacing, and every time it did, it irritated me more than I could explain.There was absolutely no reason for the girl to be lingering in my thoughts the way she was because she was just a random s
~EllieThe Nightfall party was in full swing, with music blasting from the speakers and shaking the room, or so I imagined.The air in here was nearly hot and carried the thick smell of beer and sweat as the neon lights swirled across the dance floor and cut through the shadows while I sat at the makeshift bar with my fifth glass of whiskey.Laughter rose again above the loud music from the guys playing some sort of game in the corner of the room, creating a good kind of chaos that drowned out the thoughts in my head.I could already feel a migraine forming, causing my head to feel heavy as I gulped down the glass of whiskey in one breath.I winced as it burned down my throat and numbed the pain in my chest for a few seconds.How badly I wished it could erase the pain forever and make me forget about Blake’s betrayal.I let out a small, painful laugh, knowing it was impossible. I hated that I was going to remember every damn thing tomorrow.“You’re still here?” Olive’s voice came from
~ELLIE Arriving home, dread soaked into my nerves the moment I heard my father had summoned me.Stepping into the sitting room, my body stiffened as my father’s icy glare sliced through me. Sitting next to him was Luna Marie, and behind them stood Blake, arms crossed with a closed-off expression.Bella was lounging on the adjacent sofa, smirking.I wondered what she was gaining from all this, bringing the news to Father and Luna Marie, who looked like she could dump me into a sewer right now if she were given the opportunity.“Will you start talking, or do you want me to make you?” Father’s voice was falsely calm, but his eyes were filled with anger.“I-I…”I stuttered as I threw a glance at Blake. He tightened his face, his eyes holding a stern warning.“None of the stuff I wrote was true.” I swallowed hard as I spoke in a small voice. “Nothing like that happened between us.”“And you expect us to believe that?” Bella scoffed, interrupting our father. I could imagine being dead by n
~ELLIEStepping out of Blake’s apartment, I saw Kristen leaning on her car, tapping her foot on the ground. She lifted her gaze from her phone and frowned at me, obviously expecting to see Blake.I hate to break it to her, but she would have to wait another twenty minutes or so. Blake was still in the shower, and he usually took a lot of time in there.I ignored Kristen’s subtle glares as I quietly walked past her like I didn’t see her standing there, looking like she would crack from the delay at any moment.Grateful she didn’t pour out her frustration on me, I let out a sigh of relief. I was used to expecting humiliation for no reason. Maybe I was just lucky today.Behind me, a car suddenly honked like gunshots. I skidded to the side, clutching my bag.I cursed in relief when I saw it was Olive, my crazy-ass friend, daughter of my father’s Gamma.She wound down the window, laughing like a crackhead. “The fuck were you thinking, girl?”“Not funny, Ollie.” I tried to keep a serious fa
