Axel’s POV

My heart was already racing before she even opened the door.

I stood there with my hand half-raised, the wildflower hidden behind my back, wondering for the hundredth time if this was a mistake. Not the date. Never that. Just… whether I deserved to stand in front of her like this. Whether I was allowed to want her so quietly when my brothers burned so brightly.

The door opened.

And I forgot how to breathe.

She stood there looking at me like she hadn’t yet decided if I was real. Soft. Nervous. Beautiful in a way that had nothing to do with what she wore and everything to do with how her eyes widened when she saw me.

I just stared.

Not because I wanted to take her in like something to claim but because she felt like something sacred. Like if I moved too fast, I’d ruin the moment.

“You look…” I started, then stopped, embarrassed by my own uselessness. A shy smile tugged at my mouth. “Beautiful.”

Her cheeks flushed, and something warm bloomed in my chest at the sight.

“You look

  • Fated to the Alphas   Chapter 42

    Grace’s POVThe night answered me the moment I stepped beyond the wards.It always did.The pack slept behind stone and spells, warm and unaware, while the forest breathed…slow, patient, waiting. I pulled my cloak tighter around my shoulders and followed the narrow path that only those who knew could see. Moonlight cut through the branches in thin, silver shades. Somewhere far off, an owl cried. I welcomed the sound. It reminded me that the world still understood hunger.Aria had upset the balance.No! she had poisoned it.I could still see her at the table that morning, sitting where she did not belong. My sons flanking her. Protecting her. Looking at her like she was something precious.Mine.The bond had wrapped around them faster than it should have. Too fast. Too deep. The goddess had made a mistake and mistakes had consequences.I reached the clearing just as the fire flared to life, unprompted, its flames licking upward in a familiar, greedy curl. Shadows shifted. Figures stepp

    Aria’s PovMy stomach flipped.I opened the door slowly.Axel stood there… and for a moment, he just stared. Not hungrily. Not possessively. Just… softly. Like I was sunlight he was afraid to touch in case it burned away.“You look…” His voice trailed off, and a shy smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Beautiful.”Heat rushed up my neck.“You look good too,” I whispered, surprised at how breathless I sounded.He really did.Axel wasn’t the type to dress up extravagantly…he wore a clean black button-down, sleeves rolled to his forearms, dark trousers, and that small necklace he always touched when he was nervous. His hair looked neater than usual, like he’d actually tried.He shook his head lightly like he wasn’t going to let me argue, then revealed what he had behind his back.A single wildflower.Not a rose, not anything arranged… just something he must have picked himself from the forest edge. Soft, white petals. A tiny stem.Perfect because it was simple.Perfect because it wa

    Aria’s POV“Come,” Axel said after a moment, drying his hands. He didn’t grab my wrist or tug me along. He just held his palm out…open, offered, waiting.I placed my hand in his.He guided me to the small sitting room near the back of the house, the one with the soft lighting and the blanket folded neatly because he always folds things neatly. He sat first, then motioned for me to sit too.“So,” he began, rubbing the back of his neck a little nervously, “the… date.”His eyes flicked to me and then down again. “I don’t… really go on them.”“I know,” I whispered, smiling.He smiled back, shy but true. “But I want to. With you.”Warmth flooded my chest.“What do you have in mind?” I asked, cheeks heating.He thought for a moment, eyes drifting away like he was picturing it.“I want it to be quiet,” he said. “Just us. Somewhere you won’t feel pressured. Somewhere you can breathe.”That was Axel…always thinking about how *I* would feel before he even considered himself.“And… maybe,” he co

    Aria’s povThe sink water was warm, but my hands felt numb.Honestly, my mind was nowhere near the dishes. It was floating somewhere between the memory of Grace, the embarrassment during breakfast, Aiden, my mates. So I just scrubbed and rinsed, scrubbed and rinsed, letting the bubbles swallow my thoughts whole.I didn’t even hear him come in.“Aria… let me do it,” Axel said quietly as he slipped the sponge out of my hand like it was the most natural thing in the world.My breath hitched.When did he?He stepped beside me, rolling up his sleeves, and immediately began washing the dishes with this silent, laser focus that made it look like the plates had personally offended him.“Uhm… thank you, Axel,” I murmured.“Don’t mention,” he replied, barely above a mumble, giving me a small, tight smile that didn’t reach his eyes.And then it clicked.Oh Goddess. He’s upset.Aiden and I.Whatever that happened between us.The energy.Everything.He must’ve felt it . Or smelled it like Asher sa

  • Fated to the Alphas   Chapter 37

    Aria’s povWe had our meal quietly with my mates giving me glances every once in a while like they were checking up on me..Or if I’d break.I pretended to focus on my food, but the warmth in my chest was impossible to hide. I could feel it in my cheeks, in the way I kept biting back small smiles. Then, Asher opened his mouth.“So…” he drawled, leaning back in his chair like he owned the entire room. “My darling mate is glowing differently this morning.”My fork froze mid-air.My face burned.“What… what do you mean?” I stammered, even though I absolutely knew what he meant.He smirked wider. “What do I mean? Hmm, I don’t know, Aria… maybe the fact that we can all smell it on you.”I choked.Axel shot him a warning look. Adrian stiffened. Aiden didn’t move, but his jaw tightened..just once.Asher continued cheerfully, “What happened last night…”“Oh my god,” I whispered into my hands.I wanted the ground to swallow me whole. Preferably twice.“Asher,” Aiden snapped. “Stop. Don’t make
