I don’t think I slept a wink last night.

I got back to my room at about three o’clock in the morning, changed out of my day clothes, and plopped onto my bed.

When I try to close my eyes and let my mind drift to the land of respite, I’m assaulted by sensations I’m trying to forget.

What if I hadn’t used those cuffs on him?

How would everything have played out?

At what point would we have stopped?

I wasn’t exactly sure what I’d use those cuffs for when I took them with me as I left the

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    Not a simple visit

    MICHAELA'S POVI've been on edge the entire day, but I can't pinpoint why exactly.I don't even bother changing out of the sweat-dampened clothes I wore during training. Instead, I head straight to the kitchen.I spend the next few hours chatting with Georgia and playing Scrabble with Coby before finally giving up on delaying the inevitable.I heas upstairs toward Damon's study with a thousand words already waiting at the tip of my tongue.When he sees me, he slowly sets his phone down on the desk and shifts his attention to me.Good.“Why are you avoiding me, Carylon?”Damon doesn't try to deny it.In fact, he doesn't say anything at all.Then—“Michaela.”“No,” I say, my annoyance already boiling over.One brow lifts.“No?”“No,” I repeat, pointing a finger at him. “You don't get to do that.”“Do what?”“That thing where you say my name like it's a complete answer.”For a moment, Damon looks as though he's about to respond.Then he thinks better of it.I fold my arms and glare at hi

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    The couch

    DAMON'S POV It has been proving very difficult to accomplish, but I try not to let my thoughts dwell on anything else as I bury myself in work. There has been no shortage of it since news of the wolf plague was made public.Though calling it an outbreak feels increasingly inaccurate.After returning to the pack, I gained access to documents that had previously been kept under Father's authority. Only then did I begin to understand the true scale of the crisis.The plague had spread much further than most people realized.Far enough that "outbreak" no longer seemed like the right word.For reasons I still don't fully understand, Father had chosen to withhold much of that information during his reign.The result is that I am now responsible for building containment measures almost from the ground up while researchers continue searching for a cure.Hence the endless meetings with Alphas from neighboring packs.As if that wasn't enough, the human rebels have become more active with ever

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    Duly noted

    COLE'S POV I glance over my shoulder to find Sandy seated by the side of the room. I could tell her gaze had been trained on me the entire time. She doesn’t say a word though. She’d already done enough of that before we arrived. She had made her position on my idea very clear. She didn’t like that I was meeting with my uncle. She didn’t like that I was so intent on finding a way around Mia doing the trials when Mia would probably see it as me undermining her ability to survive them. She didn’t like that I was trying to find a way to pull Mia out of the pack house and out of her deal when, again, Mia seemed to have accepted it. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust Mia couldn’t handle herself. It was just that I knew very well the kind of minds that populated the council. They weren’t above brutality when they believed their cause was righteous. And honestly, I didn’t care what Sandy did or didn’t like. Unfortunately, Sandy had never been one to stay quiet about her opinions. Especia

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    A reunion-slash-business meeting

    COLE'S POV The message should have been delivered three days ago. And it probably had. Yet I only received a reply this morning. The intent behind my uncle's delayed response was clear: he had the upper hand, and he wasn't above flaunting it. I would have preferred a more direct approach to his peacocking though. It might have saved us both some time. Unfortunately, my uncle had never been known for efficiency when intimidation was an option. So instead of having this meeting three days ago, I was standing in the middle of a poorly decorated office with even worse ventilation. Again. Though, to be fair, the temperature in the room wasn't entirely the ventilation's fault. My nerves were making a significant contribution to the sweat gathering at my brow. Was there any way to casually approach a reunion-slash-business meeting with the last known member of your family after years of being treated like you didn't exist? Probably not. I thought back to all the times we'd occupi

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    Best mornings

    MICHAELA'S POV Mason just stares at Damon for a moment. Speechless. The sight is so strange I almost don't recognize it. Mason is never still. Ever. Yet somehow he's standing there looking completely frozen. "Damon?" he repeats. "You're getting repetitive." Nothing happens. Then suddenly Mason crosses the room in three strides. I expect a punch. Or a hug. Possibly both. I'm not sure. All I know is that I expect a very Mason reaction and Mason does not disappoint. He grabs Damon's face with both hands. Damon immediately looks offended. "What are you doing?" "Checking." "For what?" "I don't know." Mason squints. "Maybe you're a ghost." Damon removes Mason's hands from his face. "I'm not a ghost." "That sounds exactly like something a ghost would say." "Mason." "I'm just being thorough." For the first time since barging into the room, something in Mason's face loosens. Relief. Gone so quickly it would have easily been missed. "Don't tell me you still belie

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    What to say

    MICHAELA'S POVDamon sets me back down so I'm standing again.It takes a moment for feeling to return to my legs as I wobble slightly. He steadies me with a hand on my arm.When I'm finally standing properly, he lets go.Then picks up my shirt from the floor and slowly, carefully, pulls it over my head.For some reason, the action is so intimate it makes something unfurl in my chest.I barely manage to get my arms through the sleeves when he brushes a few wayward curls behind my ears before stepping back to look at me.I avoid his eyes entirely.Unsure of what to say.Unsure of what to do.Because looking at Damon right now feels like a terrible idea.What we'd just done...It had crossed a line we hadn't crossed before.A very large line.A line that had been rapidly approaching for weeks and had finally sprinted right past us.And the worst part was...My common sense had completely abandoned me because if Moon offered me a chance to rewind the last ten minutes, I'd probably make th

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    What are you doing?

    Rain crashes through the forest hard enough to blur the world around us. Within minutes, everything is soaked. The trees. The ground. Us. Water streams down my face in cold, relentless sheets as thunder rumbles overhead again. Damon scans the forest quickly, eyes sharp and calculating de

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    Almost Careless

    The world tilts violently.Loose earth crumbles beneath my feet as the slope suddenly gives way.I hit the ground hard.Pain explodes through my shoulder before gravity yanks me downward again.Branches lash against my face.Rocks tear beneath my boots.Everything becomes dirt and motion and panic.

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    A Trapped Fox

    Damon disappears between the trees. The forest goes quiet almost immediately after. Branches creak softly overhead as the wind shifts through them. Somewhere in the distance, water rushes steadily beneath the incline below us. But without Damon beside me, the woods suddenly feel... Bigger. Whic

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    I see death

    “Stop.”I nearly walk directly into his back before catching myself at the last second.Barely.“You know,” I mutter, “most people use normal warning systems.”“You were supposed to notice I stopped walking.”“Well unfortunately for both of us, I wasn’t born with natural survival instincts like som
