I could feel his gaze on my back as I walked towards the entrance of my apartment building. I knew he wouldn’t drive off until he had seen me safely inside. In a way, I found it thoughtful, yet at the same time utterly infuriating. I was perfectly capable of looking after myself.

Luna’s quiet chuckle echoed through my mind. “He’s just being protective,” she said with a light laugh. I rolled my eyes as I stepped inside. While climbing the stairs, I remembered I still had to send the photos and videos of Sam. I stopped for a moment on the staircase, pulling out my phone. It took me a while to select them all, and I couldn’t help but smile faintly as I recalled the way Sam had made me promise to send every single picture and video to Jason. With a small sigh, I tapped ‘send’ and tucked my phone away again.

I carried on up the stairs, though with every step my legs seemed to grow heavier. By the time I reached my front door, my phone buzzed in my pocket — either a flood of messages or a c

  • First and Second chances   Jason

    JasonMy gaze lingered on Elizabeth until she disappeared from sight. Once I was certain she was out of earshot, I turned to Erik. To my surprise, he was looking at me with a measuring expression. “You do realize Hunter has a soft spot for her, don’t you?” His tone was stern, yet uncertain. It took me a few seconds to realize he was speaking to his cousin, not to his Alpha. I held up a hand to Erik—I needed a moment to process the shift. Especially given the weight of his words. Because no, I’d known Hunter had taken a little too much responsibility for Elizabeth, but a soft spot for her? A bloody soft spot?! Erik must have noticed the change in my posture, the inner battle taking hold of me. “Oh shit, it wasn’t my—” Before he could finish, I raised my hand again. No matter how hard I tried to remain rational, every part of me was screaming, and all I wanted to do was run.Once outside, I didn’t take the time to check my surroundings or strip off my clothes. I let Helios take over in

  • First and Second chances   Elizabeth

    I wiggled on my chair at the long dining table. Hunter had brought me a laptop, one I was even allowed to take home, making it possible to work on the project there as well. Ryan hadn’t looked at me once since the moment Jason had told him I would be officially taking over the organization. His last glance at me had been skeptical, with a trace of envy. I had seen many sides of Ryan, but that look was new. When he and Jason walked back to the office, I had heard him mention Jessica’s name. Jason had stopped mid-step, eyeing him with surprise and the faintest trace of suspicion. A quarter of an hour later, Ryan had come back downstairs, stormed past me, and vanished into his office. Erik had been standing in his own doorway, something he had done constantly since the incident last week. It felt comforting, a small layer of protection. I imagined it must be the same as having an older brother watching over you in the school corridors, ready to step in if anyone bothered you. I had alway

  • First and Second chances   Jason

    JasonHelios was still keeping himself hidden. He had withdrawn before, but never for this long. Fortunately, Erik and Hunter had not noticed. The last thing I wanted was to explain that Helios had shut himself away because he was struggling with the absence of a true mate. If they knew, they would only push me into attending another second-chance evening. I had once made the mistake of going. The set-up resembled human speed dating: women seated at tables while men moved from one to the next. The difference was that we wolves spent those five minutes holding hands and staring into each other’s eyes, searching for a connection. Once past the age of thirty, the mate bond is no longer overwhelming, though faint traces of it can still be found. No one truly knows what those ‘hints’ are, as they manifest differently for everyone. That evening had been the longest and most uncomfortable of my life.I leafed through the schedule for the charity gala, ensuring every detail was accounted fo

    Elizabeth clutched her wrist after she pulled away, turning her back to me. Pain had flickered across her face, though she said nothing. Damn it. I’d nearly kissed her. What in the hell was wrong with me? This wasn’t right—she had a true mate. I cursed myself as I pushed to my feet. “You wanted more than just a kiss, Jason,” Helios drawled mockingly, straining against the barriers I forced into place. His hunger pressed forward, sharp and insistent. I shoved him back, locking him out, desperate to clear my own head. The last thing I needed was his desires twisting mine. I looked at Elizabeth. Elizabeth held the wrist where her bracelet had been, her back still turned to me.. Guilt pricked at me, heavy and sharp.“Hunter, can you bring my car to the edge of the woods at the bottom of the hill and leave the keys in the ignition?” I asked through the mind-link. “I can. But is there a reason for me to be concerned?” Hunter’s voice came back, steady—less out of worry, more from his duty as

  • First and Second chances   Elizabeth

    ElizabethI had no idea what was happening — one moment I was rambling on to Jason, and the next I was nearly tumbling down the stairs from a sudden stab of pain. Thankfully, Jason caught me before I actually fell. I was so embarrassed that I immediately tried to wriggle free from his grasp, but he held me firmly in place, once again calling me “little lady.” I might have been shorter than him, but I certainly wasn’t that little. He set me down on a bench beside the stone staircase. The pain wasn’t as sharp now, but it lingered, a constant presence. “This is new,” Luna managed to say, sounding as breathless from the pain as I was. It was indeed new. Up until now, I had only experienced sudden jolts that vanished just as quickly as they came. I tried to breathe through it, each breath easing the pain a little. I wanted to tell him I was fine and that he didn’t need to worry, but I never got the chance. Someone behind Jason caught his attention. I saw the way his entire body tensed,
