She looked just as always but her stare at the window made me think. As I saw Ryan sat across from her. Charmaine.

Even after all these years, I hated the way she held herself. Back straight, chest thrust forward like her curves were some kind of crown, chin tilted up as if the world was beneath her. Her green eyes glinted like polished glass—shiny, but cold, empty.

Ryan didn’t waste words. He leaned back, cigarette smoke curling between them, his voice sharp. “You know why you’re here.”

  • Fated Tragedy   57. Wolfmart and holidays

    Wolfmart apparently thinks I’m trying to celebrate every holiday known to man in one day—Christmas tree aisles next to Halloween costumes, and a turkey sale announcement blaring from the speakers.Meanwhile, I was just trying to survive with four miniature hurricanes who shared my DNA.Three pups. One rabbit. Four very loud children. And the wolfmart? The pack house? One tantrum away from total destruction.“Mommy! Mommy!”The call came from my eldest—by a whopping one second—August, closely followed by his twin, Ryan.“He hit me!” Ryan growled, pointing a tiny finger at his brother.“No, I didn’t! It was an accident, you big baby!” August shouted back.I took a deep breath, ready to educate them on not yelling in public when—CRASH!Something exploded in a wave of noise two aisles over. I turned just in time to see Dylan—my third-born, my little streaker—rolling gleefully down a mountain of plastic balls. Completely naked. Arms in the air like a tiny conqueror of chaos.“WHEEEEEE!”I

  • Fated Tragedy   56. Until we meet again

    It had all passed so quickly that it felt almost surreal. Today, my two mates were setting up the nursery—something that still made my heart flutter every time I said it aloud. Four months had passed since our wedding, and now, we were preparing for the next great chapter of our lives.I’d asked them both not to come with me to the appointment. As much as I loved them, the thought of two Alphas fainting beside me while I heard our pup’s heartbeat was not something I wanted to experience again. Instead, Niko and my sister came along, and their excitement helped calm my nerves… at least for a little while.As I sat in the examination room, the steady hum of the machine filled the air. My hand was wrapped tightly around my sister’s, and even though I tried to breathe evenly, my heart was pounding so hard I could barely hear the nurse. Then the screen flickered to life—and there they were.The moment I saw what I was expecting, my world spun. My throat tightened, and disbelief rooted me

  • Fated Tragedy   55. Yellow Moon Ball

    Through the door of the bathroom, I could hear Dahynael begging again, his voice full of impatience and frustration.“Please tell me—it’s going to drive me insane if you don’t.”Hearing him whine today, of all days, had to be the worst feeling ever. I’d planned to tell him about the rabbit’s feet after the ball, but I’d been so nervous it slipped my mind completely.Now, as I dressed for the Yellow Moon Ball, my hands trembled. The silk gown clung perfectly, but no matter how I tried, the unease wouldn’t leave me. If I didn’t tell them now, I would never have the strength to help my family move forward.Last night, I had dreamt of my grandmother and uncle—both glowing in golden fortune beneath the yellow moon. Their luck had bloomed only after my great-grandmother’s rabbit feet were buried alongside her body, beside her true mates. I woke up shaken, the dream still clinging to my skin. It almost slipped out today. Almost.Trapped between silence and Dahynael’s endless pleading, I fina

  • Fated Tragedy   54. The end of the last: Michail POV

    Feeling how much luck that omega Loviatar carried on her was ridiculous. She shouldn’t have that kind of fortune—not from me. I had never given her any of it to begin with.All I was doing was using my old room as an office, writing my chapters, trying to keep my head down. When I heard the door open, I instinctively reached for my pocket knife while Lyra, trying to shift in time got cornered. But before I could defend myself, the sting of a taser hit me, darkness swallowing me whole.When I woke, I was in a decent-looking room, but my stomach churned. Where am I? Whose house is this? The walls looked so familiar that my heart thudded in my chest. It reminded me of the first place my mother and I had stayed when we entered this pack—back when she had just gotten married, before Casey was born, back when we were starting from nothing and relying on the cyborg claws pack’s assistance for low-income families.The door opened, and my sister walked in as if she belonged there, her expressi

  • Fated Tragedy   53. Marked and Puca: Alek POV

    I’d had enough of being stung by a damn bee. Yes, I get their purpose, but their use is not to sting my nose or my ass.Candy and mate — those are what got me into this predicament. I couldn’t sit for weeks, and now I couldn’t smell a damn thing. Hearing Dahynael talk about how horny our mate made him after she beat him only made me angrier.This wasn’t how I wanted to end my last day with my mate.Getting out of the pack house medical room, we were met with our mate, who had just said her goodbyes to Niko and her pup.Michail looked our way, and her triumph was written all over her face. The image of her doing that little bunny victory dance will forever be one of my favorite memories.She’s adorable — and her bunny is even cuter.We were both beaten up pretty badly, and I doubted she’d want anything intimate after the chaos of the day. But to my surprise, she reached out, took both our hands, and started walking us toward our floor while talking softly.“Learning how much I rock tod

  • Fated Tragedy   52. Training and leaving

    Alek carried us out of the forest, sunlight spilling through the canopy in soft gold. But the whole time, I couldn’t shake the feeling crawling under my fur — that restless, rebellious urge whispering I’m not a pet. The thought alone made my paws twitch.Before Alek could even react, I squirmed in his hold and leapt down, landing on the soft earth below. The world looked bigger from this height, but I didn’t care. I wasn’t weak. I wasn’t helpless.Then a shadow crossed over me — Dahynael’s body. His stomach was right above me, muscles flexing as he passed, that cocky swagger in every step.Oh, he thinks my size defines me? Not today.Gathering strength in my hind legs, I jumped with all the power of a divine bunny on a mission and landed squarely on his stomach. The air whooshed out of him in a startled grunt as he toppled backward, hitting the dirt hard.He groaned, clutching his abs. I lifted my tiny front paws high and thumped my foot once on the ground.Fuck yeah, I win!A sharp g

  • Fated Tragedy   13. List of friends

    “She has her own floor, her own things, and her own money,” Alek said firmly. “She does her job, but she doesn’t sleep with me. I have never slept with anyone in my life—besides sharing a bed with my parents when I had nightmares as a child. Whoever told you otherwise… they weren’t speaking about m

    Ryan moved away quickly, like he’d almost taken the bait of my playful attack. Alek, ever the gentleman, shut off the jeep and walked around to open my door.The cold hit me first when I stepped out, sharp against my cheeks, but then I caught sight of my neighbor. She waved, her curvy frame disappe

    In an instant, Alpha Alek chuckled. The sound cut through the air like a knife. Lyra growled at him in protest, her small body bristling as she snapped.“Alpha, this is no laughing matter! Her life is precious!”But Alek only found it more amusing. He started to laugh outright, shaking his head as

    When I opened the door, the first thing I noticed was how striking Alek looked in red. For once, I was glad I had chosen the striped cotton dress in shades of red, paired with leggings, a black beanie, and snow boots. It wasn’t much, but it was comfortable. And for the first time in what felt like
