The simplicity of a full stomach quieted the storm in my mind. Shahar sat across from me, leaning back in his chair with a contented sigh, his hand lazily rubbing his belly.

“You look like a dog who just found a hidden feast,” I quipped, and he cracked one eye open, grinning

“What can I say? Eve is a great cook. Admit it, you enjoyed the food.”

I let out a low chuckle but didn't reply. The calm didn't last long. It never did. A familiar dark voice in my head reminded me not to get comfortable. Nothing good lasts for people like me, a cursed, unfortunate soul.

“You're brooding again,” Shahar said, breaking through my thoughts.

“Am I?” I asked dryly.

My gaze wandered toward the open corridor beyond the living room, where his fling walked by. Her transformation was undeniable.

A self-assured woman replaced the frail, sickly figure I’d glimpsed days ago. She drew attention as quickly as the sun drew flowers. The sway of her hips commanded attention.

She was just a woman, like the c

    The next day, I found myself in the gardens. The Omega boys were harvesting fruits. I knew most of them and saw Zachary among them. He was reaching high into a mango tree. He grinned when he saw me.“Hey!”I waved back and then approached him. “I heard some interesting rumors lately.”“About?”“Something about us getting married.”He nearly dropped the mango he’d just picked. “Ah,” he said with a grin. “You know how it is. A man can dream, can’t he? It’s my fantasy.”“I know,” I said gently. “But I need you to understand that I won’t marry you. It’s not because I have anything against you. You’re a good guy, but it’s not going to happen.”His face fell, but he tried to recover. “I’m working hard and saving up. I could take good care of you. Just like your father would have wanted. We could have a good life.”I smiled. “I’m sure you could, and I’m sure there are plenty of girls who would jump at the chance to build that life with you.” I paused, then added lightly, “Amma, for instance,

  • Fated To The Lycan Beast   Forty-Three

    VanessaThe serving tray felt heavy in my hands as I served wine. Maya’s recovery party was in full swing. Laughter and music spilled from the hall. I moved along the edges of the room, refilling glasses and keeping my head down. My eyes scanned the crowd, automatically tracking Alec. He was near the fireplace, talking to some of his friends. I avoided that area like it was the plague.A strange sort of relief had truly settled in me when I heard Maya was okay, even though the previous night I had been walking past her chambers, going on a late-night errand for one of the senior maids, when I heard her sniffle. It was muffled, but she was definitely crying. I had pressed my ear to the wood of her door and stood there for a long moment. My heart ached with a confusing sympathy. I confirmed she was alone before I slipped away.This sympathy I was growing was an unnecessary feeling. The primal part of me, which was my wolf, didn’t like her at all. She was with Alec—our fated mate. That t

  • Fated To The Lycan Beast   Forty-Two

    Alec Vanessa's scent clung to the air even minutes after she had passed. Wrapped around me, the sweet pool was intoxicating and tightened my chest. I stood frozen for a long moment after she disappeared around the corner. My hand still tingled from the accidental touch. The soul tie the ancestors supposedly blessed us with felt more like a curse today.We were on opposite sides of a chasm. She was hurt, and she knew it. I could see it in her eyes. The accusation thrown at her—that she had poisoned Maya—hung heavy between us. It was a logical suspicion, wasn’t it? Before this connection, our families were enemies. Distrust was bred into our bones.But the way she had reacted—the genuine shock and pain in her eyes—didn't feel like the act of a guilty woman. My gut, which was an instinct I had learned to trust on the battlefield, whispered that she was innocent. That only complicated things further.If not Vanessa, then who? And why?I would have to make sure Maya's food was strictly mo

    VanessaThe strip of fabric scrubbed against the washboards. Where sounds were usually soothing, today they did nothing to quiet the storm inside me. My hands moved on their own, scrubbing and wringing my clothes, but my mind was miles away.All I kept thinking about was Alec and Maya—and the poison. My stomach twisted. I knew, with a certainty that chilled me to the bone, this was no accident. Someone had tried to harm Maya, and by extension, Alec’s child.It had to be Lucas. I knew Alga was lying to me. He was ruthless and ambitious. Perhaps he saw Maya as an obstacle—but an obstacle to what? He seemed loyal to Alec. The thought sent a shiver down my spine. Or perhaps it was his wife Isabella? Or even Nina and Gary, though I knew how ridiculous that last thought was.But I couldn’t trust anyone—not even sweet Nina.And I hated how bothered I was, as if Maya were my sister or something. For someone who had smashed a pot on my head, why did I care so much? But deep down, I needed to k

    Vanessa Word spread fast. By dawn, whispers had crawled through every hallway in the house—Maya was in the hospital. Some said she collapsed in her sleep. Others swore they saw blood on the sheets. A guard muttered that the baby might not survive.I stood frozen near the water pump, bucket in hand, my heart thudding so hard it shook my ribs. My fingers curled tighter around the handle. Had Olga done it? Had she gone ahead without me? Or was it just some cruel accident?The thought made my stomach twist. We had only talked. That was it. We vented, we dreamed. But what if that was enough? What if our words had teeth? I wasn’t a witch. I had no power. So why did it feel like I’d pulled the trigger?I dropped the bucket and stumbled back inside. My chest tightened with every step. I could barely breathe. This wasn’t part of the plan. None of it was real—or it wasn’t supposed to be. What if this came back on me? What if Olga turned and pointed straight at me?Alec’s face flashed in my min

    Alec I sat stiffly at the mahogany table, watching as Isabella laughed loudly at something Maya had said across the table. My jaw tightened every time she smiled or spoke. My stomach churned. How could she act so normal and proud? The knowledge of her infidelities clung to me like smoke.My eyes drifted to Lucas, who was refilling his wine glass. The poor bastard didn’t even know his wife was cheating. My shoulders tensed involuntarily when she spoke to me. She had no shame, no regrets, only that same amused gleam she always wore. She wasn’t happy in her marriage. Why didn’t she just ask for a divorce? It would break Lucas, but it was better than breaking her vows and pretending to be righteous and innocent.I kept my gaze fixed on the mashed potatoes, moving them around my plate more than I ate. I was somehow relieved that I had found my mates, even though I was nowhere close to being in an upright boat. Maya knew I wasn’t in love with her. She forced herself on me and into my life,
