The whole incident had turned out to be a show in my mind, replaying over and over like that was the only thing I could think of.

I had wrapped myself with the heavy blanket, yet it couldn't stop the thought that screamed in my head. And the room wasn't helping either. The walls were literally banging the image of them back into my skull, suppressing me until I couldn't breathe.

I stood up, wiped my face, and pulled the door back. I needed to walk. I needed to feel the cold night air on my ski

  • Guarding His Forbidden Mate   JESSICA

    The next morning, sunlight streamed into my room as Annie walked in with her usual energy. I had barely gotten out of bed, but my mind was already awake, thinking as usual. The first thought that came to me wasn’t about breakfast or the day ahead, it was about him. And before I could stop myself, the question slipped out.“Where is Kaelen?”Annie paused for a second before answering. “He’s at his duty post, my Lady,” she answered. “I believe he was reassigned to the service wing this morning.”I nodded slowly, pretending it didn’t matter. “Okay.”There was a brief silence before she spoke again, more cautiously this time. “My Lady… can I ask you something?”I looked at her, slightly confused. “What is it?”She hesitated, then spoke carefully. “Is everything alright between you and Kaelen?”My heart skipped. “What do you mean?” I asked.She shook her head quickly. “No, not like that,” she explained. “I just noticed that things have been… different lately. He used to be very protective

    Later that night, I sat in front of my vanity, slowly brushing through my damp hair while I stared at myself at the mirror. My thoughts kept drifting back to the garden, to Dylan, to the way his arms had felt around me. And then, just like always, Kaelen forced his way into my mind, uninvited and impossible to ignore. I exhaled slowly, trying to focus on my routine instead of the chaos in my heart.I reached for my skincare, carefully dabbing cream onto my fingers while watching my reflection. If I kept myself busy, maybe I wouldn’t think about the confusion, the guilt, or the anger that had been building all day. Maybe I wouldn’t remember the way Kaelen had looked at me, like he was holding himself back from something dangerous. Maybe I wouldn’t feel this strange pull in two different directions at once. I hated it. I hated how none of this made sense anymore.Just as I leaned closer to the mirror, the door suddenly burst open. My heart jumped violently in my chest as I spun around,

    The moment she slipped, everything else stopped.One second, she was walking beside me, distracted. The next, her body tilted forward, my instinct took over before my thought could even catch up. I moved without thinking, my arm wrapping around her waist, pulling her firmly against me before she could fall.Suddenly, I felt a spark rush through my veins like a lightning and settled somewhere I couldn’t ignore. My breath caught as my hand tightened slightly around her, my senses suddenly sharper than they had been all morning.For a brief second, I forgot where we were. Forgot who I was supposed to be. All I could see… was her.Her hand pressed against my chest, her eyes wide as she looked up at me, her lips parted slightly like she had forgotten how to speak. There was something in her gaze, something that reached into a part of me I hadn’t touched in years.And just like that, I was no longer standing in the gardens of the Silver Moon Pack.I was a boy again.A boy standing barefoot

    For a second, I forgot how to breathe.Dylan’s arms were still around me, holding me firmly against his chest like I weighed nothing at all. My palm had flattened against him during the fall, and I could feel the rise and fall of his breathing beneath my fingers. My heart began to race, not from the almost-fall, but from something far more terrifying.No… no, no… Please, Moon Goddess… don’t do this to me.Don’t tell me this is it. Don’t tell me that everything I’ve been feeling… everything I’ve been holding onto… was wrong. That all those sleepless nights thinking about Kaelen, all those aching moments, all that longing was nothing.That this… this calm, steady man holding me right now… is my mate.My chest ached. The feeling I felt wasn't that feeling of fire I always felt whenever Kaelen was near, but it wasn't an empty feeling either. And that scared me even more.Dylan gently stood me on my feet, his hands lingering at my waist for just a second longer than necessary before he le

    The sun had barely come out when Anne knocked on my door. I had wanted to pretend like I was still asleep, but she was being persistent and if I didn't stand up, I'd never get that sleep."My Lady," she called out for the tenth time."What?!" I yelled."It's time to get you ready for the Alpha's visit," she said, a bit of excitement in her voice.I finally stepped out of my bed, heading towards the door to open it. I looked at her for a while, watching the smile on her face widen each second."Oh please," I rolled my eyes, walking towards my bed and settling by the edge. "Has he arrived yet?""No," she answered. "But I heard he's on his way.""He's seriously coming?" I sighed, falling back on the bed. "Why couldn't he shift the date!""Probably, he wants to see what a beautiful woman you have become."I sat up to look at Anne who had just looked away, acting like she hadn't say anything."I'll just go get a shower," I said, standing to my feet and heading for the bathroom. I stood un

    The news of Alpha Dylan’s arrival had turned the palace into a beehive of activity. For two days, the servants had been scrubbing the floors, and the kitchen was filled with the sweet scent of roasting meats and spices. It was as if the Silver Moon Pack was trying to prove its worth to the world, all because a childhood friend was coming to visit.My mother was the worst of them all. She had spent nearly the entire day in my room, fluttering around like a nervous bird. Suddenly, she was obsessed with the flowers in the vases, the scent of the oils I used in my bath, and especially what I was going to wear."Mom, for Christ's sake, can you just please stop hyping this man?" I groaned, leaning back against my vanity chair. "You’re making him look like he’s Zeus coming down from Olympus. He’s just Dylan. We used to play in the sand together."My mother paused, holding up two dresses against the light. One was an emerald silk, and the other was a royal violet with silver embroidery. "We a
