LOGINChapter 78: ♥ Unexpected PeaceNoah’s The way James acted back in that room stayed with me. I could not push the memory out of my head. It hurt a lot more than I wanted to admit to anyone. I saw the look in his eyes. He was scared, he was angry, and he felt completely lost. Instead of letting any of us help him, he chose to push everyone away.I understood why he felt fear. I understood why he felt panic. He had been through a nightmare. But watching him look at Ren like he was a monster broke something deep inside me. Ren was the one who risked everything to get him back.The part of the situation that hurt the most was not how James treated me. I could handle his anger toward me because I felt like I deserved it. What I could not handle was how he treated Ren.Ren saved his life. He did it twice now.And still, James could not see past his own fear. He did not see the man who carried him to safety. He only saw a beast. I wondered what would happen later on. I wondered how James wou
Chapter 77: ♥ Monster in the MirrorJames’s The moment he walked into the room, I felt my strength disappear. My legs simply gave out beneath me. I stumbled back, my feet tripping over each other, until my shoulders hit the hard wall. The impact made a loud thud, but I did not care about the pain in my back. My breath came out in sharp, ragged gasps. I felt like the air was too thin to breathe. My chest felt tight, like a heavy band was squeezing my lungs. My whole body was shaking so hard that I could barely stand.“Stay away from me!” I yelled. My voice was cracking and sounded thin in the quiet room.I felt a rush of fear move through me so fast that I thought I was going to lose all control of my body. My hands trembled in front of me as I tried to push the air away. My knees felt weak, and I felt a deep sense of embarrassment. I felt scared and helpless all at once, and I hated that he was seeing me like this. I was a grown man, but I felt like a child cornered by a predator.Re
Chapter 76: ♥ Trapped in FearJames’s My heart raced so fast that it felt like it was going to tear itself right out of my chest. No matter how hard I tried to slow my breathing, my body simply refused to listen to me. My hands shook violently as I stared at him. My legs felt weak, like they were made of water. My head spun in circles. I could not believe that this was my life now. I felt trapped in this terrible werewolf mess. I was surrounded by people who were not normal. I did not know who to trust or where to go anymore. Everything felt dangerous.Ren stood just a few steps away from me on the ground. He looked calm. In fact, he looked far too calm for someone who had just jumped off a building. His eyes were steady and did not blink. His posture was relaxed, and he acted like nothing in the world scared him. That calm look alone terrified me more than anything else. It made me feel like I was standing next to a bomb that might go off at any second.“Hey, just relax,” he said qu
Chapter 75: ♥ Rescued in ShadowsJames’s No matter how hard I tried to move my body, it felt useless. I felt completely stuck.The heavy metal chains did not budge at all. They dug deeply into my wrists and my ankles. Every single time I pulled against them, the cold metal felt like it was biting into my skin. My hands felt like they were burning. My arms ached from the constant strain, and my entire body felt weak because I had been struggling for such a long time. The room felt very quiet now. It felt far too quiet for comfort.The lady was finally gone.She had left the room with the other tall guy. I heard her heels clicking on the floor in a very calm way as she walked out of the door. She acted like she had not just sentenced me to a certain death. Even though she was gone, her smile stayed in my mind. It felt cold and sharp. It looked like a very satisfied smile.I replayed the moment in my head. I had said no to her terrible deal. I refused to help her kill Enzo. Because of t
Chapter 74: ♥ Knife’s EdgeJames’s For a second, I honestly felt like I was going to pee in my pants.My whole body trembled with a fear I had never felt before. I sat there, firmly chained to a heavy wooden chair in the middle of a cold, dark room. My heart pounded against my ribs so hard that it felt like it might actually burst out of my chest at any moment. Every time I tried to move, even just a little bit, the cold metal of the chains cut into my wrists and my ankles. The pain was sharp, and it remained a constant reminder that I was not going anywhere. I was completely trapped in this room with a woman who seemed entirely out of her mind. I felt alone, helpless, and more terrified than I had ever been in my entire life.I stared at the woman standing in front of me. Her cold stare made my skin crawl with discomfort.She had a way of smiling that was slow and very calm. She looked like she was truly enjoying every single second of my fear. It made the whole situation feel much
Chapter 73: ♥ Hidden MatesNoah’s Fear sat heavy in my chest. It was a cold, hard weight that would not move. It twisted my stomach until I felt a sharp pain. I could not stop thinking about James. Every single second that passed felt much longer than the one before it. Every thought that entered my mind only made the situation feel worse. I wondered what was happening to him right now. What if something truly terrible happened? What if he was badly hurt? I thought about the worst things that could happen to a person.I felt a deep sense of guilt. What if all of this was my fault?I knew I was the one who dragged him into this dangerous world. I did not mean to do it, but it happened anyway. I brought werewolves into his life. I brought the Vengas bloodline and the danger that came with it. James was only in danger because of Enzo’s mother and the sick plans she had for us. James never asked for any of this. He did not want to know about monsters or magic. He just wanted to live a no
