2025-06-07 06:36:22The storm raged all night. Rain hammered against my window, and thunder shook the walls. I barely slept, tossing and turning as the wind howled outside.
When morning came, I couldn't face breakfast. Couldn't face the dining hall full of students talking about the ceremony. About who would be chosen. About what would happen in nine days.
I need space. I need to get away from everyone.
I sent a message to my instructor claiming fatigue. Said I needed to rest instead of attending training. It wasn't entirely a lie. My body felt wrong, overheated and restless.
It's the stress. Just the stress.
But I knew it was more than that. The scent blocker residue was building up in my system. And there was something else, something I wouldn't let myself name.
Instead of going back to my room, I found myself wandering toward the old abandoned wing of the building. The part that had been closed off years ago when they built the new dormitor

Masked Desire Chapter 143
Ivan's POVThe briefing room is packed with thirty elite Lycan warriors, all handpicked for this operation. We're arresting several high-ranking werewolf officials implicated in the omega experimentation conspiracy - lords, council members, pack alphas with private armies. This is dangerous and politically volatile, the kind of operation that could spark conflicts destabilizing multiple territories. But it has to be done."Target locations confirmed," Commander Hayes announces, marking the map with swift, efficient movements. "Simultaneous raids across six territories. We move at dawn."My father stands at the back of the room, silent and observing. Marcus Volkov insisted on accompanying this mission, testing my command under his direct observation. The weight of his scrutiny presses against my shoulders, but I force myself to focus on the warriors assembled before me, their faces set with professional determination."Questions?" I ask the room.A younger soldier raises his hand tenta

Kaelen's POVThe group meeting we just had was productive. But it was also just the beginning.Now we have to actually implement what we discussed. Live it. Make it work in practice instead of just theory.I find myself taking notes. Organizing schedules. Creating systems.It's what I do when things feel overwhelming. Impose structure. Create frameworks."You're making a spreadsheet for our pack dynamic?" Avalon asks, looking over my shoulder."We need organization. Clear schedules. Otherwise this dissolves into chaos.""It's very you.""Someone has to do it."Avalon sits beside me. Studies my notes. His thigh brushes mine, a casual touch that sends a familiar warmth through me."This is good. Detailed. But you forgot something.""What?""Time for just you and me. Independent of Jason."He's right. I've scheduled individual time with Jason for each of us. Group time. But not separate time for my relationship with Avalon."We need that too," he says. "If this is going to work, we can't

Jason's POVI'm drowning in complexity.Three relationships. All at different stages. All demanding attention.Ivan is my primary mate. Secure in position but insecure in heart.Kaelen is growing closer. Building emotional intimacy slowly.Avalon is waiting. Patient but present.And I'm trying to navigate all of it without destroying anyone.It's exhausting.***Queen Lydia recommends a counselor.Dr. Elena Marsh. Lycan specialist in unconventional mate structures."You need professional guidance," Queen Lydia says. "This situation is rare. Complex. You shouldn't navigate it alone."So I meet with Dr. Marsh.She's older. Maybe seventy. With kind eyes and a no-nonsense demeanor."Tell me about your relationships," she says during our first session.I explain. Ivan. Kaelen. Avalon. The mate bond connecting all four of us.She listens without judgment. Takes notes."What do you want from each of them?" she asks when I finish."What do you mean?""What role does each person play in your l

Avalon's POVI can feel it through the mate bond.Jason and Kaelen. Their connection growing. Deepening. Becoming something real.I'm happy for Kaelen. Really, I am. He's wanted Jason's genuine affection for so long. Worked so hard to earn it.But I'm also jealous.Because I want that too. Want Jason to look at me with the same warmth. Want to be part of what they're building.And underneath both emotions is fear. Fear that I'll be left out. That they'll form something together and I'll just be the fourth mate no one really wants."Tell me what you're feeling," Dr. Thorne says during our session."Jealous. Happy. Scared. All at once.""About Kaelen and Jason.""Yes. They're building something. And I'm watching from outside.""Is that where you want to be? Outside?""No. But I don't know how to get inside without forcing it."Thorne leans forward. "What do you actually want, Avalon? Not what you think you should want. What do you genuinely want?"I've been asking myself that question f

Jason's POVI can't think straight.Kaelen's confession keeps replaying in my mind. His voice shaking as he read that letter. The raw honesty in every word.I love you, Jason Blackwood.I walk through the stronghold in a daze. Guards follow at a respectful distance. Increased security after the assassination attempt.But I barely notice them.All I can think about is Kaelen. His letter. His love.What do I do with that?Ivan knows something is wrong the moment I enter our chambers."What happened?" he asks immediately."Kaelen. He... he told me he loves me."Ivan goes very still.
