VANDER

Something was off.

Knox stood against the pale hospital wall with one foot already out the door. His jaw was clenched, his hands fidgeting by his sides as though he was waiting for someone to call his name or he was debating bolting and hoping no one noticed.

He looked disturbed. Hasty. He hadn’t sat a minute in the last hour.

Kai and Kael were still hunched on the waiting room couch, their faces carved from exhaustion and anxiety. Luna Ambessa was still in surgery. We hadn’t heard a word from the doctors in over an hour.

So when Knox suddenly straightened and said, “I have to go do something,” the entire room fell into a stunned silence.

Kael sat up. “What? Now?”

Kai raised a brow. “You’re leaving?”

Knox barely looked at them. “I’ll be back. I promise. It’s just… important.”

My brows furrowed as I straightened from where I was leaning against the window frame. “You serious right now?”

Knox ignored me, turning to the exit and completely ignoring my existence. Something wasn’t r

  • Let The Alphas Fall For You   087: Happy Ending

    DALAIt was strange how easily something so broken could feel whole again.A month had passed since Vander walked through the doors of my shop like a storm I’d been praying for and somehow, since then, every day has been a soft unraveling of all the tension, all the years, all the pain that had held my shoulders in a knot for far too long.We fell into rhythm. This wasn't altogether perfect because there were bumps, awkward mornings, and quiet nights. A few moments where I would catch him staring at Sarah like he was afraid she’d vanish again. Still, there was real tangible peace. The kind that lived in breakfast laughter, and Sarah’s tiny arms flinging around Vander’s neck when he came back from work, and how he always kissed my forehead like it was a sacred ritual.We had dinner together now, all three of us, grocery-shopped like we were a unit. We even picked out new curtains together last week for my home— since I wasn’t ready to leave for his pack. In these few days, I’d never

  • Let The Alphas Fall For You   086: Reunion

    VANDERThe dining hall had never felt smaller, wronger.Something felt wrong and it wasn’t just Knox’s presence. The roast sat untouched on Lady Ambessa’s plate. Knox pushed around a heap of potatoes and I was sipping a glass of wine I didn’t even want, just to have something to do with my hands.It had been a while.It had been awfully long while that dinner consisted of more than two adults. The third and last being Knox.What do we talk about? What do I even say?He knew I had found Dala, posing no other questions for me but Knox’s sudden preference of peace baffled me further. I had a feeling there was something he wanted to say but hadn’t and when it finally dropped, God help me, it might be a tad bit too heavy to bear.“Pass the salt, brother,” Knox asked, stringing my wandering mind back into equally restless body.“Knox,” Lady Ambessa’s inquisitive tone sliced through the silence as she addressed her son. “You’ve been gone nearly a year and the first thing you say is ‘pass th

  • Let The Alphas Fall For You   085: Visitor

    VANDERIt smell of pinewoods in every corner of the compound. The war room wasn’t as flashy as the name suggested, no glinting silver maps or intimidating weapons mounted on the walls. Just a long, mahogany table scattered with blueprints, territorial outlines, digital projections, and half-empty mugs of bitter coffee that had gone cold an hour ago.Marcus, my beta for the past three years, stood at the head of the table, rolling his neck with a slight grimace as he updated me on the Expansion Project. “We secured approval in all of the south. That playground was an amazing room,” he said, tapping a red-marked zone on the holomap.I arched my brow, struggling to be present. To not think of her. “You think?”“I think everyone’s watching you now,” Marcus replied, glancing at me over the rim of his coffee mug. “Even the Alphas that used to mock your name during ascencion are suddenly scrambling to sign pacts or bury old feuds.”I didn’t respond because he was right.We weren’t just exp

  • Let The Alphas Fall For You   084: A glimpse of the past

    DALAThe hotel room was barely closed behind us when Vander pushed me up against the door, his mouth already crashing into mine like he was trying to consume the years we’d lost.I didn’t resist. How could I?His kiss was rough and unrelenting, a perfect match for the ache that had been building inside me since the moment I saw him again. My hands were in his hair before I could stop myself, my fingers curling tightly like I needed to anchor myself to something before I lost control completely.Words felt unnecessary now. Everything we needed to say was being translated in the way his hands roamed over me—possessive, desperate, reverent. He tasted like memories and madness and regret and promise and passion.He tasted like sin.I gasped into his mouth when his teeth caught my lower lip. “You still kiss like you’re trying to punish me,” I whispered, breathless.He pulled back,meeting my gaze. “You still taste like fucking heaven.”Vander's lips crashed on mine again, his hands slidin

  • Let The Alphas Fall For You   083: No, a beginning

    DALAI cradled Sarah in my arms as though I could fold her back into the space beneath my heart, where she’d first begun, where nothing and no one could ever touch her. My lips found her hair again and again, whispering her name like a prayer, like a question, like a punishment.“Why would you do that, baby?” I said, not scolding, just trying to hold back the tremble in my voice. “You can’t ever leave school like that again. Do you understand me?”Sarah sniffled, wide-eyed, guilty. “I just wanted to see the park. I didn’t mean to scare you. I met a nice man. He said he would wait with me till you came. I’m sorry, Mommy.”I shook my head, holding her tighter. “No, baby, no more going anywhere without Mommy’s permission, okay? I was scared out of my mind. I didn’t know where you were.”She nodded solemnly. “Okay. I promise.”The teachers hovered nearby, clearly embarrassed, trying to explain themselves with too many apologies.“We’re truly sorry, Ms Hartwell,” one of them said, wringing

    DALA FIVE YEARS LATER “Sarah, eat your eggs.” “I am eating them,” she whined dramatically, poking her fork into the yolk and watching it ooze across her plate. “I’m just… doing it slowly.” I gave her a look over the rim of my coffee mug. “You’ve been doing it slowly for the past fifteen minutes. At this rate, you’ll graduate high school before you finish breakfast.” She giggled—her laugh high and unfiltered, enough to crack open something tender in my chest. God, she was so much like him. The same stubborn set of the jaw, the same defiant twinkle in her eyes when she was pretending not to care. “I don’t need eggs,” she said, swinging her little legs under the kitchen stool. “I’m already smart. Miss Dana said I read faster than everybody in class.” “Oh, so now you’re a genius who doesn’t need protein?” “I mean, basically.” I sighed, exaggerated and theatrical, before sweeping down and scooping her up into my arms, eggs and all. She squealed, laughing wildly as I ploppe
