The Black house stood quiet under the afternoon sun. The tall stone walls kept the outside world away. Inside, rooms felt warm and open with soft rugs and big windows that let light pour across the floors. Days here moved slowly and gently. For the first time in months, I could breathe without fear pressing on my chest every second.

Jacob made everything different. He woke up early every morning to cook breakfast—eggs scrambled soft, toast with butter, fruit cut into small pieces so it was e

  • His rejected curvy secret    A Mother’s Strength: The Moonstone Quest Begins

    Faye’s POV When I opened my eyes again, the first thing I felt was warmth. For a moment, I didn't know where I was. My body ached from head to toe, and my head felt heavy, as if the world was still spinning around me. The air inside the tent smelled of herbs and smoke, and somewhere nearby I could hear quiet voices. Then I felt something small move against my chest. My heart jumped. I looked down quickly and saw my daughter curled safely in my arms. A shaky breath escaped my lips. “She’s here,” I whispered. Tears burned in my eyes as I pulled her closer. Her tiny fingers moved against my shirt, and the sound of her soft breathing filled the silence around me. The last memories rushed back all at once. The ritual. The blood. The cursed wolves and the fight inside the tent. I forced myself to sit up slowly. A sharp pain shot through my body, but something else moved with it. A gentle warmth spread through my chest and down my arms. It felt familiar, like a heartbeat that did

  • His rejected curvy secret    Into the Heart of the Trap

    Jacob’s POV The camp had never felt this wrong before. I had walked these paths hundreds of times. I knew every tent, every cabin, every place where the ground dipped or the wind changed direction. Yet that morning everything felt unfamiliar. The silence had made it worse as a living camp should never be this quiet. I tightened my hold on Faye as I carried her through the narrow path between two cabins. Her body felt too light in my arms, and the warmth of her blood had already soaked through the cloth wrapped around her wound. Our daughter rested against her chest, wrapped in a blanket. The baby had grown quiet again, though every so often she let out a soft cry that made my chest tighten. Behind us, several paces back, Sienna followed with the knife still in her hand. She said nothing, only watched. I did not trust her presence, but for now, she had not tried to stop us. That alone told me she believed Thorn’s trap would finish the work for her. Faye shifted weakly in my arm

  • His rejected curvy secret    The Silent Camp: Rally or Surrender

    Jacob’s POVI have faced war before. I have stood on battlefields where blood soaked the earth and howls split the sky. I have made decisions that cost lives and carried them without bending.But nothing prepared me for the sight of my own camp standing silent.The air felt wrong. Too still. Too empty. The scent of my pack lingered, but it was tangled with something darker. Fear. Blood. And beneath it all, the faint trace of Thorn’s cursed wolves.Faye remained seated on the horse, our daughter pressed tightly against her chest. Her face was pale from blood loss, but her eyes burned with a fierce kind of awareness. She saw what I saw.Sienna stood in the center of the clearing, her posture straight, her expression cold. The knife in her hand was stained deep red. It was not fresh from an animal kill. It was pack blood.I stepped forward slowly, placing myself slightly in front of Faye and the baby without making it obvious. My voice came out low but steady.“Where are they, Sienna? Wh

  • His rejected curvy secret    The Return to Camp

    Faye’s POVThe moment my daughter was back in my arms, everything inside me shifted.Not into peace. Not into safety. But into something sharper and more fragile. Relief so strong it almost made me dizzy. Fear so deep it refused to loosen its grip.Jacob helped me onto the horse, then climbed up behind me. I held our daughter tightly against my chest, afraid that if I loosened my arms even a little, she would be taken again. Her small cries pressed against my heart, each sound a reminder of how close I had come to losing her forever.“Hold on to me,” Jacob said, his voice close to my ear.I nodded, though I did not turn around. I could not stop looking at her tiny face. She was flushed from crying, her eyes squeezed shut, her small mouth trembling. I pressed my lips to her forehead.“Mommy’s got you,” I whispered softly. “We’re going home. You’re safe now.”Even as I said it, fear crawled through me. I did not know if it was true.Behind us, a howl tore through the forest.It was long

  • His rejected curvy secret    The River Bend Decision

    Jacob’s POV Everything about that moment felt unreal. The river moved the same way it always had. The water ran over the stones. The trees stood tall and silent. Dawn light stretched across the surface, soft and golden. It should have been peaceful. It should have been just another morning. But my daughter was in another wolf’s arms. Faye leaned heavily against me. I could feel how weak she was. Her breathing was uneven. One hand pressed against her side where the wound still bled through the bandage. The other gripped the knife she refused to drop. Even like this, she was ready to fight. Across from us, Lira stood at the edge of the river bend. My child was wrapped in her arms. My daughter’s small cries tore through me. Every sound felt like something cutting into my chest. I took a slow step forward. “Hand her over, Lira,” I said. My voice was low, but it carried. “Now.” Lira’s eyes did not soften. They were cold. Distant. Not the eyes of the quiet scout I once trusted. “Sw

  • His rejected curvy secret    The Ambush and the Hidden Message

    Jacob’s POV The forest felt tighter the deeper we rode into it. Branches brushed against my shoulders, and the air was thick with the smell of damp earth and crushed leaves. Every sound made me tense. Every shadow looked like a threat. Faye sat in front of me on the horse because she no longer had the strength to ride alone. Her body leaned back against my chest, light and fragile in a way that made fear crawl up my spine. Her breathing was shallow. Too shallow. I tightened my arm around her waist to keep her steady. “Stay with me,” I murmured close to her ear. “Talk to me.” “I’m here,” she whispered, but her voice barely carried over the sound of hooves striking the ground. Every second felt stolen. The baby was somewhere out there in Thorn’s hands. The thought made my jaw tighten until it hurt. I should have seen it sooner. I should have known there was another spy. Thorn had known too much. He had moved too easily. And I had been blind. I pressed my forehead briefly against
