LOGINHe murmured against my neck, causing me to go hot for him. "Love is a weakness. If you think I’ll fall for it, my little mate, you’re more foolish than I thought." ________ Eve never imagined her fated mate would be the Lycan King who murdered her family. Poisoned and left to die by her ex-husband, she’s forced to seek healing from the king. Axel saves her life, unaware of their connection, while Eve’s wolf grows more desire for the man she’s vowed to destroy. Consumed by hatred and an undeniable pull, Eve faces an impossible choice: fulfill her oath of vengeance or surrender to the bond that defies reason. Can Eve resist the beast that calls to her soul, or will fate shatter them both?
View MoreVanessa We were halfway back to the palace, with arms still linked, but my thoughts were far from Alec’s warmth.Everything we’d said tonight had unraveled our parents’ mess. Their obsessions. The blood they spilled in the name of pride and desire. Alec had let it slip earlier that my father and his used to be best friends. I hadn’t known. It explained too much—and not enough. They’d once been boys who shared everything.Friends who turned rivals because of a woman.Because neither could let go.Alec pulled in closer beside me. “Penny for your thoughts?”I blinked back to the present. it. He always knew when I was holding something back. The problem was, this time, I was holding too much.I sighed. “I was thinking that maybe… Olga’s prophecy shouldn’t be taken as gospel.”His steps faltered. “You don’t trust her visions?”I chose my words carefully.“I think prophecies aren’t laws but possibilities. Not all of them come true. Some are warnings. Paths we can still change, if we’re br
AlecVanessa’s refusal to be my mistress left a sharp discomfort lodged in my chest, the kind that didn't fade with silence.I didn’t understand her.She had just carved the final answer, yet she still walked beside me like the night hadn’t shifted between us. If she meant it, why hadn’t she left? Why were we still pretending there was more to talk about?The question burned at the back of my throat as we passed more streets and corners. I kept glancing sideways, expecting her to turn around. She didn’t.We came to a mini-park tucked behind the baker’s row. A stone bench sat under a lantern. She slowed, then sat, taking off her scarf.I hesitated, then I sat, leaving distance between us, unsure if I was still wanted near her at all.Neither of us spoke.Then, without a word, she leaned sideways and placed her head on my shoulder.I froze.Her hair brushed my jaw. Her breath touched my collarbone. It wasn’t seductive or dramatic. It was gentle. Intimate. Completely at odds with everyth
VanessaA flicker of surprise crossed Alec’s face, followed too quickly by hurt.I had wounded him.I hated that part of me wanted to reach for him. That some traitorous piece ached to soothe what I’d just broken. But weakness dressed as tenderness is still weakness. And I was done apologizing for having a spine.As tempting as it was to imagine a beautifully quiet life in some hidden cottage, with his hands on my skin and no one else to bother us, it was a fantasy wrapped in shame.“Vanessa—”“No,” I said again, sharper this time. “You’re not proud of me. That’s what this is.”“That’s not true.”“Then why do you want to hide me?”He exhaled, pacing a step away, then turned back with barely restrained frustration. “Because it’s not that simple. I’m the Alpha. There are rules. You know the council. You’ve seen what Lucas is capable of—and he’s nothing compared to what the others would do to you.”Of course, it wasn’t simple. That was the problem. I remembered the way Lucas looked at me
VanessaI double-checked the latch on the bathroom door. Old habit. Olga had taught me never to cry where someone could hear it. I didn’t just learn survival from her. I learned silence. Learned that grief was something to swallow, not spill.Weakness was always currency to be used.I was troubled by her threats. She had saved my life, taught me to be strong, and sharpened my hatred into a weapon. I owed her a debt I could never repay and felt the sharp sting of betraying her.But lately, the lessons felt more like chains. Even thinking that felt like betrayal. I hated myself for it, and hated her more for making me choose.Without Olga’s cause, who was I? I didn’t know. And maybe that was the real fear.Maybe she wasn't evil. Maybe she was blinded by her long-nurtured grief. Maybe she hated Alec so much that she couldn't see anything else.But I was tired.Because somewhere along the way, I’d stopped fantasizing about Alec’s death. I hadn’t even noticed it happening.That terrified m
