Lena carefully brings herself closer to me, whispering urgently, "Leonardo, listen to me. You cannot wolf out in public. Hold it in."

As I tremble uncontrollably, her fingers grab my face, gentle and steady. They trace over my lips. "If they see your fangs, there is no going back. You're a monster forever."

Monster. The word cuts deeper than I expect.

To pure humans, all werewolves are monsters. That's why they don't know about us. That's why we hide in the shadows. If they knew, we'd be tied up to tubes in a medical laboratory. Or worse, killed.

"Leonardo." Lena's voice is softer and desperate. "Look at me."

I force my gaze to meet hers. Her eyes are wide, glistening and very blue. So beautiful that I almost forget everything she's done.

After a few agonizing seconds, the trembling slows. My breath evens out. My fangs retract before fully surfacing.

Lena exhales in relief. "Good. That’s it."

I open my eyes, the world slowly sharpening around me again. But deep inside, I can still fee

  • Mate me at Hollywood (18+)   60. Bedroom whispers

    LARA's POVMy fingers fidget nervously with the hem of my dress. "I had no choice. My life was in shambles.""And my dad's measly five million dollar was enough to make you throw me aside. Words cannot describe how disappointed I am in you, Lara," he says.I know heartbreak. I have seen it in a hundred faces, lived it through them. Heartbreak is when when someone you love walks away and forgets to look back. It remains in your chest like smoke that won’t clear. But the look in Leo’s eyes… it’s more than heartbreak. He is shattered.I blink back a tear, followed by a little sniffle."Leo, I'm sorry. I did throw you side.. but not for the money.""Then why?""My future, Leo." I rub my nose, restraining my sniffles. "I was worried about my future. Alaric promised that if I left you, he'd make sure my expulsion goes away. And I believe him."Leo frowns. "Didn't you also take a cheque of 5 million dollars from Alaric?"I shake my head, firm and fast. "No. He offered, yes, but I rejected i

  • Mate me at Hollywood (18+)   59. Let them have me

    LARA's POV I walk out of the bathroom, my white towel wrapped snug and tight around my chest.Across the room, David emerges from his bathroom, his towel low on his hips like modesty’s just a suggestion.At least the cabin has two bathrooms. Small mercy. I don’t have to endure the soul-scarring torture of seeing him naked.Three months ago, that sight might’ve made me blush like a schoolgirl. Back when he was just a smart, devastatingly handsome 39-year-old college professor I secretly crushed on. Back when I didn't know the truth. David Norman is a four-century-old wolf-shifter.An Alpha King with a temper, a kingdom… and far too many secrets.When the heck did my life turn into a supernatural Hollywood movie? I rate this movie 1 star, because I'm the one character who bad things keep happening to. Am I even the main character? Probably not. I have no clue what's going on. That tells me that I'm the clueless side character who is gonna get killed. Very soon."When is the Luna festiv

  • Mate me at Hollywood (18+)   58. Seized by the pack

    Leonardo's POVThe bullet hits me, just below my ribs. Blood is lightly dripping. But it's almost like the bullet bounce off me.I choke out a laugh. "You know the best thing about being a werewolf? Guns can't hurt me. A thousand bullets cannot kill me."Roman smirks. "Who said anything about killing you? I only want to weaken you and make you unable to fight back when I take you.""Take me?""Back to the forest, working as an Omega for me, where you should have been a long time ago.""I'd rather die than do that.""Your death, huh? Don't worry, that can easily be arranged... just not now."Roman gestures to the men in black. "Get him. Knock him out if he resists."I glance back at my car. A couple of muscle-bound goons have surrounded it. Mickie and Lena are trapped inside, no doubt scared out of their minds."Call off your dogs," I say, locking eyes with Roman. "Tell them to back off my people… and I’ll go with you. Willingly.""Good choice," he murmurs, smiling.Every muscle in my

  • Mate me at Hollywood (18+)   57. A risky arrival

    Leonardo's POVI walk down the flight of stairs of the private jet and take off my sunglasses. The hot Cali sun hits my eyes instantly and I squint."Welcome back, kid!" Mickie exclaims, standing at the bottom of the stairs."Feels good to be back, Manager," I grin.Arms open wide, she embraces me. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I missed you, Leonardo."I fake a gasp, pulling away in the most dramatic way. "You missed me? Damn, I should probably record you saying this, and make it my ringtone.""Ha-ha-ha," she says, before giving her signature eye-roll. "Cherish that moment, because it's the last time I'll say something that cheesy. To anyone."I smile. "Missed you too, Mickie. But I'm sure you had other trouble-making clients to deal with while I was gone. Didn't you?""Of course I do," she replies. "But you're not just another troublesome client to me. You're like a son."I put my arm around Mickie's shoulder endearingly and playfully. "Mom, this is the second cheesy thing

    LARA's POV"You almost died?!" I gasp, pulling back to see his face.His eyes are stormy and tired, like they’ve seen too much. "Roman and his werewolves have gone completely rogue. They're killing every other pack including mine. Out there... I kept thinking—if I never saw you again… if I never got the chance to hold you like this… I wouldn’t be able to rest."I press my forehead against his, our breaths tangled. "Now, you can rest, David. You survived.""Barely," he whispers, his hands gently touching the back of my neck. "But of what use is an Alpha King who has no kingdom?"I'm confused."No kingdom? Isn't this place.." I gesture with my hands. "... your kingdom?""Not for long. Not with Roman Sinclair still trying to take my throne— what I painstakingly built for four hundred years."There is a glimmering darkness in his eyes. His lips may say no more words than five... but his eyes darken in a way that say a million words too many."I need you..." he murmurs, holding onto my fac

    LARA's POVUnder the forest grounds, David has a gigantic fortress for his pack.It's almost like a palace, except it's somehow undergrounds. A secret kingdom carved out of the earth where he is the king.And I'm the queen?After introducing me to Finn and Timothy as his wife, David left to handle some pack business. Leaving me alone in the biggest room in this fucked-up palace. This has to be the master bedroom. I mean... look at this white, king-sized bed. It looks like the kind of bed you'd plop on, intending to take a nap and end up waking up thirteen hours later. And look at this floor-to-ceiling mirror. I feel like the Princess of England just by standing in front of it.The place doesn't feel real. My gut is screaming at me. Something feels wrong.The door creaks open, and I snap my head to that direction. A woman wearing a vintage pinafore stands there, tray in hand. All her teeth, white as paper, flash in the brightest smile ever. "Helloo, Miss Lara!" she screeches, automa
