Why was I here?

Sure, I could stay in a hotel, motel or whatever, or I could squeeze in with my parents in the garage apartment they were staying in, but somehow I found myself at Kael's door.

Was I a masochist? Or could I truly not stay away from him?

I chose to believe it was the mate bond. There was no way I still had feelings for him, and anyway, I still kinda blamed him for Rose's disappearance.

Silence followed my words, and Kael stared down at me for a long moment.

"Can I stay here?" I asked impatiently.

He scoffed, "No way in hell."

I spluttered, "Why not?"

"Because the last time we met, you accused me of distracting you from your beast hunt," he pointed out, "You blamed me for what happened with Rose and basically every other thing that was wrong. It's kinda ironic that you said I've been distracting you from your mission and yet here you are."

Before I could say anything, he continued, "I told you I can't do the back and forth and I meant it."

"I just need a_"

  • Fated to my sister's husband.   Chapter 50

    The ringing of my phone shattered the silence of my office. It was sharp and insistent, cutting through the quiet like a blade. I frowned, glancing at the screen. Unknown number. I hesitated. I never answered unknown numbers. If someone needed to reach me, they could leave a message. But something about this call made my chest tighten, a strange feeling settling in my gut. Slowly, I picked up the phone and pressed it to my ear. "Sebastian." The voice froze me in place. It was a woman’s voice-cold, yet familiar in a way that made my stomach churn. My grip on the phone tightened as the past slammed into me like a train. I hadn’t heard that voice in years. I swallowed hard. “Mother.” She let out a slow, shaky breath, as if she had been holding it in. “So, you still remember me.” I let out a dry, humorless chuckle. “How could I forget?” Silence. Then, she spoke again. “I wasn’t sure if you’d pick up.” I leaned back in my chair, forcing my voice to remain steady. “Neither was

  • Fated to my sister's husband.   Chapter 40

    The house was too quiet. It was at this moment I knew silence had a sound and could be heard. It wasn’t the peaceful kind of silence. It was the heavy, suffocating kind-the kind that made the air thick, the kind that made my own heartbeat sound too loud in my ears. It pressed against my chest, wrapping around me like an invisible chain. I stood in the middle of the living room, staring at the space in front of me. My hands were clasped together, but my fingers kept fidgeting, twisting over one another. Sebastian hadn’t come downstairs since we got back from the courthouse. I knew where he was. Locked in his study. Alone. I hated this silence. Because it wasn’t really silent. It had a sound—the sound of pain, of grief, of everything that had gone unsaid. I walked toward the couch and sank down, my body feeling heavier than it should. This house wasn’t just a house. It had been a home—a place where we shared laughter, warmth, love. But now… now it felt different. The walls

    The first thing I noticed was the cold. It wrapped around me, heavy and unforgiving. The air smelled damp, thick with dust and something metallic. My body ached, my head pounding like a hammer was inside it. When I tried to move, my arms wouldn’t even budge. Panic crawled up my throat. I forced my eyes open. Darkness. A single dim light flickered above, its glow barely reaching the corners of the room. The walls were made of concrete, cracked and stained with things I didn’t want to think about. My breath came out in short, shallow gasps, fogging up the cold air. I tried to move again, but something tugged at my wrists. Tied. My arms were pulled behind me, thick ropes digging into my skin. My ankles were bound too, tight enough that I could feel the circulation slowing. I swallowed hard. My mouth was dry, my throat sore. The last thing I remembered was answering Sebastian’s call. Then the door had swung open -figures moving fast - hands grabbing me - something cove

    The atmosphere in the banquet hall was electric, a stark contrast to the tense exchange I had just had with Roy and Shayla. As Jax led me through the opulent space, I couldn’t help but marvel at the elegant décor—crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceilings, casting a warm glow over the gathered guests. The scent of gourmet food wafted through the air, mingling with the soft hum of laughter and conversation. It was like stepping into a different world. “Do you see that table?” Jax pointed to a long table adorned with an impressive spread of delicacies and surrounded by the elite members of the pack. “That’s where the Alphas and their betas are seated. I want you to meet them.” My heart raced. Would they see me as an outsider? Just moments ago, I had been nothing more than a target for ridicule. Now, I was stepping into a world filled with power and prestige, all thanks to Jax. I swallowed hard, my stomach fluttering with nerves. “I’m not sure I’m ready for this,” I confessed,

    Sera "So you heard about the eclipse," Madison said as I approached her. I nodded, hugging the backpack containing my parents book to my chest. Since I'd picked it up at the alley, I'd been wary of losing it again. The mystery of how it had burned iny house but still somehow been delivered back to me still haunted me. Too many mysteries haunted me at this point. I couldn't think about them now though. Even though every part of me rebelled at the thought of wasting another day in a damned cafe while Rose was getting farther and farther away from me, I knew that I'd be no use to her tonight. "The answers you seek are on this ground," I muttered under my breath, staring around the zoo. I didn't even know the questions I was supposed to be asking anymore, not to talk of the answers. I shook my head, shutting down that line of reasoning. Madison and I made our way to the cage in relative silence. The two times I'd come to this zoo in search of answers, it had only ended with m
