ANGELA’S POV

By the next evening, my room looked like chaos had decided to live there. Silk everywhere, perfume and my hair spray heavy in the air, shoes underfoot like tiny traps. The scent of vanilla hung around, sweet but nervous.

I told myself it was only another birthday, nothing special, but that was a lie. Tonight was not about turning eighteen. It was about walking into that hall and letting Julius and Kimberly see what they had lost.

I stood in front of the mirror, curling the last piece of my hair. The girl in the reflection did not look like me, not the old me anyway. Her eyes were harder, clearer. The kind that do not soften for anyone who does not deserve it.

My gown caught the light in a slow, patient shimmer, champagne-colored, close to my skin in a way that felt almost defiant. I did not wear it for them. I wore it as proof that I had survived what they did.

The door opened quietly. My mother stepped in, silver and graceful, as if she had walked straight out of moonlig

  • Fate Or Mates   0093: Memorizing The Moment

    Angela’s POVAfter a bit, I ducked into the fitting room with an armful of clothes. The first pair of jeans fit perfectly, and the soft beige sweater hugged me in just the right way. When I stepped out to check the mirror, Aaron looked up from his phone.He blinked once, then twice. “Yeah,” he said, his voice a little rough. “That’s the one.”I raised an eyebrow. “You said that about the last outfit, too.”“That’s because they all look good on you,” he said, and I swear I saw the faintest blush creeping up his neck.I laughed, shaking my head. “You are terrible at this, you know that?”“At what?”“Shopping.”He shrugged and stepped a little closer. “Maybe. But I know what I like.”The way he said it made my breath catch. For a second, I completely forgot we were in a store.“All right,” I said, maybe a little too quickly, turning back to the mirror. “I’ll take this one. And maybe two more tops.”Of course, by the time we were done, he had carried every bag to the counter before I coul

  • Fate Or Mates   0092: Grinning Sponsor

    ANGELA’S POVAfter breakfast, Aaron leaned back in his chair and gave me that look. You know the one, that easy, relaxed smile of his that melts me every single time. Honestly, it’s not even fair.“Ready to go get you some clothes?” he asked.I wiped my mouth with a napkin, feeling that familiar shyness creep back in. “You really don’t have to do this, Aaron. You’ve done more than enough for me already.”Before I could even finish, he was up and tossing some cash on the table. “I know I don’t have to,” he said, like it was the simplest thing in the world. “I want to.”You see, that sentence? It hit me way deeper than it probably should have. I mean, when was the last time someone did something just because they wanted to, for me?I followed him out, shaking my head. “Well, I’m paying you back the second I get a job. I mean it.”He just chuckled and held the door open. “You can try,” he said, his eyes twinkling. “But I probably won’t take it.”“Then you’re making this whole thing reall

  • Fate Or Mates   0091: Breakfast

    ANGELA’S POVYou know, the drive into town was actually… peaceful. It was that nice, easy kind of quiet, you know? The kind that just feels steady. I watched the trees slowly get replaced by little shops, their windows all warm and glowing in the morning light. And I’ll admit, I kept sneaking little glances at Aaron. He looked so relaxed behind the wheel, one hand propped against the window frame, the other just resting on the wheel.Well, we pulled up to this small restaurant tucked away at the edge of town. Honestly, it was kinda charming, with ivy crawling up the stone walls. The second we got out of the car, I noticed a few people on the street giving us looks. I didn’t think much of it until we walked inside.Then, everything just… stopped.Aaron moved a little closer, his hand a warm, steady pressure on my back. I looked up at him, and that’s when I saw it. The look in his eyes was sharp. Protective, even. Like he was already braced for something.And then I saw why.It was like

  • Fate Or Mates   0090: Falling Hard

    ANGELA’S POVYou know, I thought I’d be up all night, my mind racing. I mean, come on, a new place, a strange bed, and all these unspoken things hanging in the air between us. That’s my usual recipe for a sleepless night. But honestly, sleep just pulled me under easier than I ever thought possible.Maybe it was pure exhaustion. Or maybe, just maybe, it was Aaron’s scent clinging to this shirt of his I’m wearing. It’s way too big on me, but the fabric is so soft. And that smell, like woods and a faint hint of citrus, just wrapped around me. It felt like a comfort I didn’t even know I was looking for.I should’ve been overthinking everything. I always do. But as I sank into that mattress, the only thing I felt was safe. Which is ridiculous, right? After everything that happened tonight, peace was the last thing I expected. But the moment I closed my eyes, it was like my body just gave up the act. It finally stopped pretending to be fine and just let go.I didn’t dream of anything specif

  • Fate Or Mates   0089: Self Control

    AARON’S POVEvery muscle in my body was pulled tight, like a bowstring ready to snap. I just stood there, watching Angela scurry back to the bathroom. Honestly, my wolf was going crazy under my skin, restless and agitated. Her scent was everywhere. Lavender, warm skin, and something that was just… her. It wrapped around me like some kind of addictive drug, and I swear it made me want her more than ever.She had no idea what she was doing to me. None.It’s not that I can’t control myself. I can. Years of discipline, right? You learn to rein it in. But my wolf? That’s a different story. He isn’t patient. He doesn’t care about timing or reason or all the things still standing between us. To him, she’s ours. Our mate. And there she was, standing barefoot in my shirt, smelling like heaven, testing every single ounce of my restraint.A low growl slipped out before I could stop it. I ran a hand through my hair, tugging hard enough to sting. I needed to breathe. To focus.Not yet.I couldn’t

  • Fate Or Mates   0088: Pajamas Shortage

    ANGELA’S POVI stood there for a second, staring at the room like it might suddenly shift or disappear, and then my scalp reminded me that I had pins digging into it for hours. With a soft groan, I reached up and began tugging them free one by one, each clink against the dresser top sounding like tiny sighs of freedom. My hair tumbled down around my shoulders in soft waves, smelling faintly of hairspray and jasmine.“Finally,” I muttered under my breath, shaking it loose.The wedding dress was next. I slid the zipper down and stepped carefully out of the heavy fabric, letting it pool at my feet. It was beautiful, don’t get me wrong, but also the most exhausting piece of clothing I had ever worn. After hanging it neatly on the wardrobe door, I padded barefoot into the bathroom.Warm light spilled over the marble tiles, soft and golden. I turned on the faucet, letting the tub fill until the water rose high enough to steam. The scent of lavender from the bath oil drifted up, and I climbe
