تسجيل الدخولShe stares at me for what feels like forever, and my chest tightens because I can’t believe I actually let those words slip out. One wrong move and everything we planned could fall apart.“You didn’t fucking deny it, Damon,” she says quietly, but the shock in her voice cuts deeper than yelling ever could.She shakes her head like she’s trying to wake herself up from a nightmare. “There is nothing you can tell me that’ll change my mind. You’re already fucking her, aren’t you? Eating her pussy while I’m here looking stupid.”“Katrina—”“No.” She steps back before I can touch her. “Don’t even start. We’ve been in this shit together from the beginning, and now you want to leave me for her?”My stomach twists hard. The words hit me like a punch to the throat.“We have a son together, Damon,” she says, her eyes wide and glassy. “Or did you suddenly forget that too?”Something is wrong. I can see it in the way she’s breathing too fast, in the way her hands keep trembling at her sides. She lo
I don’t know why Katrina can’t follow one simple instruction.Stay the fuck away from Vera.That’s all she has to do until everything we planned finally falls into place, but no. Katrina always pushes. Always finds a way to appear where she isn’t wanted.The first time she confronts Vera at the supermarket, I warn her clearly never to try that shit again.I make sure she understands me.So why the hell is she here again?I glance toward Vera and instantly notice the change in her expression. She’s trying to stay calm, but I can see the tension sitting in her shoulders and the uncertainty flickering in her eyes.Honestly, if I were in her position, I’d feel uneasy too.There’s something about Katrina’s stare tonight that feels wrong.Possessive.Desperate.Like she’s forcing herself not to say something dangerous.Then a thought suddenly crosses my mind.Did she see me kissing Vera earlier?I quickly shove the thought away.Even if she did, it shouldn’t matter.Everything between Vera a
The ride back to Alpha Damon’s pack is painfully tense.Nobody says a word, yet the silence inside the car feels heavy enough to choke on. It’s like everyone wants to speak but doesn’t know where to begin.I lean against the window quietly, trying to sort through everything that happens tonight.From the moment I step into the pack and get treated like dirt…To meeting Mia.Then Troy watched me with that strange look on his face.And Alpha Aiden—Goddess.Him pulling me aside to tell me the truth about my mother, calling me his mate, I know it was a mistake, fucking me in the corridor like the world around us doesn’t exist.What the hell was I thinking?I close my eyes briefly, remembering the way he looks at me on the balcony. His eyes are so soft then, almost vulnerable.But after the fight…Everything about him changes again.Still, I’m proud of myself for standing my ground when I speak to him afterward. Normally, I would back down instantly.Something inside me is changing. And ho
I know exactly what he is trying to do. He wants me to cower in shame. He wants me to become that same broken girl who used to lower her head and obey every command that came from his mouth without question.The cursed girl. The unwanted girl. The traitor’s daughter.But I refuse to give Alpha Aiden Draven the satisfaction of seeing me break ever again.So instead of stepping away— I walk toward him. I take one step and then another.This time, I’m not even afraid of the violent power rolling off him. The air around him feels deadly, enough to make everyone else keep their distance, but all I can think about is how badly I want to slap him across the face.My hands curl tightly into fists at my sides, but I force myself to stay calm.“Yes,” I say sharply, my voice echoing across the silent courtyard. “I was that cursed girl.” The crowd goes completely still. “The traitor’s daughter nobody saw as anything.”Aiden’s expression hardens, but I continue before he can interrupt me.“And yes
The whole courtyard goes damn quiet as I feel the violent energy rolling off the two Alphas. There is nothing calm about it. Alpha Damon doesn’t wait.He launches at Alpha Aiden with a brutal snarl, his fist crashes hard against Aiden’s jaw with enough force to make nearby guards stumble back.Gasps echo around the courtyard. The ground itself feels tense beneath my feet.Everyone parts instantly, forming a wide circle around them as the two Alphas tear into each other without mercy.And goddess—It’s terrifying.Aiden barely reacts to the hit before he grabs Damon by the throat and slams him against the stone pillar beside him so hard cracks split through it.Damon actually laughs.Blood drips from the corner of his mouth as he drives his knee into Aiden’s stomach before shoving him backward. Aiden recovers instantly, his eyes glowing violently as he wipes blood from his lip with terrifying calm.Then he attacks again. Fast, deadly. And with pure rage.His fist collides with Damon’s
The moment I hear footsteps coming closer, panic grips me instantly.My heart pounds so hard against my chest that I can barely hear anything else. All I can think about is the scent of sex still clinging to the air around us.Thank goddess we are outside.The cold night breeze sweeps across the balcony, carrying most of it away, but I still feel exposed standing here beside Alpha Aiden after everything that just happened.I glance toward him and see him calmly adjusting his jacket like nothing happened at all.Meanwhile, my thoughts are spiraling.What happens if someone sees us together?I quickly smooth down my wrinkled dress, trying to make myself look normal again just as the balcony door swings open.And then I see her.Shirley.My stomach drops instantly.To everyone else in the pack, Shirley is sweet, graceful, perfect. People adore her. Ever since her brother left her under Alpha Aiden’s care, she’s been treated like someone precious.But I know exactly who she really is.A t
