Hunting The Alpha’s Heart She Could Never Be Mine
Cole's POVCaitlin didn't wake when I lifted her from the back seat. Her head fell against my shoulder, and I adjusted my hold before carrying her inside. After talking almost nonstop all evening, I wasn't surprised she had fallen asleep before we made it halfway home.I carried her upstairs, lowered her carefully onto her bed, and had just pulled the blanket over her when her eyes slowly opened."Cole?""I thought you were asleep.""I was." She smiled sleepily. "Thank you.""For what?""For taking me bowling. I've been asking you for weeks, and you finally said yes."Something about her smile told me there was more coming."Good night, Caitlin."I turned toward the door."You like Lyra."I stopped. Of course.I looked over my shoulder and found her watching me with a grin far too pleased for someone who had barely been awake thirty seconds ago."You're imagining things.""No, I'm not.""You're twelve.""What does that have to do with anything?""Apparently not enough."She sat up and
Hunting The Alpha’s Heart Losing My Focus
Lyra's POVWhatever confidence I had about flirting with Cole disappeared the moment he touched me.It was easy to tell myself I could use his attraction to my advantage when he wasn't standing inches away from me, but actually feeling his hands on me was different. Every touch sent an unexpected spark through my body, making it difficult to remember who was supposed to be affecting whom.I needed to get a grip. This was supposed to help my mission, not make my heart race every time Cole Dravenford came near me.I picked up the ball again and focused on the remaining pins. At least bowling gave me something else to think about."Watch this," I said.Cole folded his arms. "I'm watching."I took my position, aimed, and released the ball. The remaining pins crashed down."Yes!" Caitlin cheered.I turned toward Cole with a satisfied smile. "Still not bad?""Better."I rolled my eyes. "Would it physically hurt you to say I did well?""Probably."Caitlin giggled beside us. "I'm proud of you
Hunting The Alpha’s Heart Just Another Excuse
Cole's POV I wanted to take Lyra somewhere alone, but after kissing her that morning, I knew spending more time alone with her was a bad idea. I could blame the mate bond for how strongly she affected me, but that excuse was becoming harder to believe. I still knew too little about Lyra Ashfield, and getting personally involved with her would only complicate things. Unfortunately, that didn't stop me from wanting to be around her. So I found an excuse. Caitlin had been asking me for weeks to take her bowling, and I always claimed I was too busy. Apparently, I wasn't too busy when Lyra could come with us. I headed straight to Caitlin's painting studio, where she sat in front of an easel while her instructor guided her through a landscape. Both of them looked up when I entered. "Cole?" Caitlin asked. I glanced at her instructor. "We're done for today. You can continue tomorrow." The woman looked surprised but nodded. "Of course, Mr. Dravenford." Caitlin watched her inst
Hunting The Alpha’s Heart How To Flirt With Cole
Lyra's POVI didn't know whether to laugh or glare at Cole. Everything he'd said about changing my contract was ridiculous. I needed permission before taking a day off, I wasn't allowed to go on dates, and apparently, getting too close to Carlos was suddenly a problem.He could call it whatever he wanted, but I wasn't stupid. Cole was jealous, and the realization should have annoyed me more than it did. Instead, a small, traitorous part of me felt strangely excited.Did that mean he wanted me for himself?The thought sent an unexpected thrill through me, but I refused to dwell on it. Cole Dravenford had kissed me that morning, yet somehow, he still acted as though I was the problem.The man was unbelievable.I glanced at him as we drove away from Crestmont University. His eyes remained fixed on the road, one hand resting on the steering wheel while the other occasionally moved to change gears. His expression was unreadable, and neither of us had said a word since getting into the car.
Hunting The Alpha’s Heart Not Jealous
Cole's POVEver since that kiss, Lyra had been impossible to get out of my head. I tried convincing myself it was nothing more than the mate bond messing with my instincts, but the lie was becoming harder to believe.I wanted to see her again, and worse, I wanted to kiss her again. Just admitting that pissed me off.I wasn't a man who lost control over a woman. I had spent years keeping my emotions in check because an Alpha couldn't afford to be ruled by impulse. Every decision had consequences, and I had always known how to separate what I wanted from what needed to be done.Then Lyra Ashfield walked into my life and somehow made all that discipline feel useless.One kiss was all it had taken, and I could still remember the way she had frozen before slowly kissing me back, her fingers gripping my shirt and the look in her eyes when I pulled away.I clenched my jaw.This was ridiculous.I liked her. There, I admitted it. I fucking liked Lyra Ashfield, and I hated how easily the truth
Hunting The Alpha’s Heart He Came For Me
Lyra's POV"You don't need to accompany me, Carlos. I can take care of myself," I said as he walked beside me toward the Student Affairs Office, where I was supposed to get my university ID."I know you can.""Then why are you still following me?"Carlos glanced at me, amused. "Maybe I'm making sure you don't get lost.""I can read signs.""That remains to be seen."I rolled my eyes and continued walking beside him.Classes hadn't started yet, so Crestmont University wasn't as crowded as it probably would be once the semester officially began. Still, plenty of students were around completing enrollment requirements, collecting schedules, processing IDs, and preparing for the first day of classes.It didn't take long for me to notice something.People kept looking in our direction.At first, I assumed they were curious because they didn't recognize me, but after a while, I realized most of those looks weren't meant for me.They were for Carlos.Girls openly stared as we passed.
