ANGELA’S POV

I pulled on a pair of fitted jeans and a soft white shirt after leaving the bathroom. I didn’t think too much about it, just tucked the edge in and slipped on my sneakers. My hair went up in a loose ponytail.

A quick swipe of gloss across my lips, then I found myself staring at my reflection for a bit too long. From the outside, I looked fine. Calm even. Put together, the way people expect. But there was this weight sitting in my chest. The visit wasn’t as casual as it might look.

I picked up the small box from my desk. I had wrapped it neatly and tied the ribbon tight. I had thought too long about what to get her, which made the whole thing feel heavier than it should.

The morning air was cool when I stepped outside. Damp too, like the earth hadn’t quite finished soaking up the rain. I paused for a second, breathing it in. It almost steadied me. Almost.

The drive over was quick. Ten minutes with the radio humming low in the background. I parked by the lawn and sat for a

  • Fate Or Mates   0081: Stunning

    Angela’s POVJust as I was about to take a deep breath and calm my racing heart, there was another knock on the door. This time it was Drew, my other cousin. His voice carried through the crack in the door, low and teasing. “Is the bride finally ready? Everyone’s starting to gather, and Mom’s about to send a search party.”Rainey rolled her eyes while Aunt Laila called out, “She’s ready, Drew! We’ll be down in a few minutes. Tell everyone to stop panicking.”Drew poked his head in anyway, grinning like he owned the place. “Just making sure. Don’t wanna be the one to explain to Aaron why his bride’s running late on their big day.”Rainey groaned. “You and Jace are impossible. Go on, both of you! We’ve got finishing touches to do.”Jace, who was still lingering by the door, made a face. “Alright, alright. Don’t mess up her makeup, Rainey.”“Out!” she said, waving them off dramatically.The boys laughed their way down the hall, their voices fading as the door clicked shut behind them.Ra

  • Fate Or Mates   0080:High Anxiety

    ANGELA’S POVIt was finally the wedding day. The air smelled like roses and hairspray, and honestly, I couldn’t tell which was stronger. My mom was fussing over my hair, Rainey was hovering with a makeup brush in hand, and Aunt Laila was on her knees, tugging at the bottom of my dress to get the folds just right.To everyone else, this was the day. The big, beautiful, real wedding. But to me, it felt like a lie wrapped in lace and soft music. A pretend marriage to a pretend mate. Still, looking around at their glowing faces, I couldn’t bring myself to ruin it.“Hold still, sweetheart,” Mom said, gently twisting another strand of my hair into the bun she’d been perfecting for the past ten minutes. “You keep moving like that, I’ll have to start over.”I tried to smile. “Sorry. Just… nerves, I guess.”“You guess?” Rainey said with a teasing grin, dabbing a soft shimmer on my eyelids. “You’re about to walk down the aisle, Angie. You’re allowed to be nervous.”Aunt Laila chuckled from behi

  • Fate Or Mates   0079:Walk Of Shame

    KIMBERLY’S POVMorning came too soon.The sunlight crept through the curtains, falling across the bedsheets tangled around my legs. For a moment, I didn’t move. I just watched Julius lying beside me, his back turned, shoulders tense even in sleep.My chest felt tight. He used to sleep with his arm over me, holding me close like he never wanted to let go. But now it was like there was a wall between us. I already knew it would take more than spending just one night together before things went back to normal between us again, but I was willing to try until he forgave me.I reached out, fingers brushing the edge of the blanket near his arm. “Julius?” I whispered.He stirred, then sat up abruptly. The look on his face wasn’t soft or warm. It was distant, almost cold.“You need to go,” he said quietly, running a hand through his wet hair.I blinked, confused. “What?”“Get up and get ready before someone sees you in here again,” he said more firmly. “Get dressed and leave.”The words hit ha

  • Fate Or Mates   0078: Liquid Heat

    KIM’S POVI kept saying his name. His hands were on my breasts, playing with my sensitive nipples, while his mouth woke up every nerve ending in my neck. My hands had made their way back to his beautiful dick again—so long and thick and hard for me—stroking the shaft. The skin was so velvety soft there, over the rock-hardness underneath.“I can’t wait any longer. I want you so much,” he whispered just under my ear, licking the tender skin there.“Me too,” I whispered back, stroking him a little faster.Everything had sped up and become more intense. I could hardly breathe for wanting him. He kissed and licked down from my neck to my collarbones, to my breasts. He flicked his tongue across my nipples, then sucked each one, each pull causing a deep ache in my pussy.“Julius, please,” I begged, not knowing exactly what to ask for—but more than this. “Please.”He kissed farther down, across my belly and my hipbones, and positioned himself between my thighs. I moaned in anticipation, and t

  • Fate Or Mates   0077: Compelling Argument

    KIMBERLY’S POVI'd been calling Julius for days now, texting too, and got nothing back. No answer at all. No reply from him. I knew the reason, deep down: Angela. She caused all of this mess. If the Luna never caught us together back then, none of this explodes like now. Everyone in the pack stares at me as if I'm the villain, the one who wrecked everything alone.Julius joined in, though. He desired me back then; I felt his hunger. Yet he dodged me after. Acted like our moments meant zero, like erasing me from his life worked fine. I know he and I can’t be together because of our ranks in the pack but I refused to let him shove me aside so quick. I craved him bad, and when desire hits me hard, I push forward.Tonight, my patience finally ran out. I chose to find him, no excuses. I hung back until guards finished rounds near the pack house, then crept in through the back door. It wasn’t hard to get through the hallway undetected. My pulse thumped loud, part fear, part thrill rushing t

  • Fate Or Mates   0076: Not Walking Away

    ANGELA’S POVThe night air brushed against my skin, cool enough to make me aware of every inch it touched. We followed the narrow garden path behind the house, and the only sounds were the steady hum of crickets and the faint scrape of gravel under our feet.The moonlight slipped through the trees, thin and pale, cutting across the stone like threads of silver. I carried my heels in one hand. My other was in Aaron’s, and for a long time, neither of us said anything. Peaceful. Too peaceful, maybe. The kind that makes your thoughts start circling back on themselves.I kept thinking about everything, and then some. The wedding. My father’s expectations. The fake smiles at dinner. And Aaron. Especially Aaron, sitting across from me with that polite, faraway look he gets when something is wrong. Even now, he walked beside me, but there was a distance in him that made me want to reach out and shake him, or maybe hold him tighter. I wasn’t sure which.I stopped walking. “Aaron,” I said quiet
