“You can’t sit by my side all day,” I protested, sulking. “Shouldn’t you be with Monica or something?”

My body ached in places I didn’t know could hurt—especially my leg, which throbbed with a low, persistent pain. But it had been two days since the barrier battle with the ferals—I knew that much. I kept going in and out of consciousness, but every time I opened my eyes, Jerry was sitting by my side.

And that was where he stayed plastered, except to use the bathroom or get us something to eat.

Julian even had to bring him a change of clothes because he wouldn’t agree to leave my side, almost like he was afraid I’d try to use my power again.

Just now, I’d woken from a nap, wincing, only to find him slumped in a chair beside my bed, his head tilted at an awkward angle, mouth slightly open. The sight should’ve made me laugh, but instead, I felt a tight squeeze in my chest.

He was uncomfortable, but still, he stayed. Just to keep an eye on me.

He yawned, stretching slightly, finally wakin

  • Mating The Half She-Wolf   CHAPTER 65.

    I woke up thinking the events of the day before was a dream. But one look at the head beside me told me otherwise.The steady rhythm of Levi’s breathing beside me made my heart yearn, warmth feeling me up inside. The faint scent of pine and ash that always clung to his clothes engulfed my senses. The sun was slipping through the slats in the curtains, casting golden lines across the room. Almost like we were in a place out of a fairytale, or maybe it was just the effect Levi had on me.My leg was finally done healing. No more ache or pain, not even a slight scar to indicate there was ever a bruise there.I sat up slowly, inspecting the once ruined limb that had kept me bedridden for two days. The bandages had been removed at some point, and smooth, unbroken skin stretched over where the gash had been.It was like it had never happened.Levi stirred beside me. His eyes opened slowly, groggy at first, until they locked onto mine and he jolted upright. “You’re awake.”“You stayed all nig

    I don’t mean to be negative, but something inside me kept nagging, telling me they were all going to die. And no matter how hard I tried to push it away, it kept clawing its way into my head.Why would Levi do this to me?Doesn’t he know locking me in here was more dangerous than letting me be by his side? The mind is a dangerous place. If this room was my prison, my thoughts was the electric chair.The silence in the metal room was so loud, it began to roar.I sat with my back pressed against the cold wall, legs drawn to my chest, arms locked tight around them. My breathing came in shallow waves, and even though I tried to calm myself, my heart wouldn’t stop its frantic drum. The air was thick, stale, and with each minute ticking by, I felt more like a caged animal.He locked me in here to protect me. I should be angry. Maybe I was. But mostly...I was scared.Dejectedly, I said a prayer to the moon goddess to keep every single one of them out there safe. But the problem with war is…t

    It always started the same way.In the dark. This time, in a clearing. The sky bruised with shades of dusk, and the trees bent in creepy formations. I stood in the middle, barefoot on damp grass, my heartbeat echoing in my ears.And him.That boy.Always just out of reach.He was looking right at me—not that I could really tell since his face was blurred in the darkness—watching me from the edge of the forest. He began to run toward me, and a part of me thought…This is it. I finally get to see his face.But no. A strange fog appeared out of nowhere. His white eyes mixing with the mist. He grabbed my shoulders with a desperate urgency.“Astra, run,” he said, voice gravelly with fear. “Leave!”I opened my mouth to argue, but a guttural growl rumbled behind us, shaking the air. I turned, and my breath caught in my throat.A beast.Ten feet tall. Its body black as ink, fur rippling like shadows, with glowing red eyes that bore into my soul. It snarled, foam dripping from its fangs. It did

    “Come with me. Just for a moment.”Julian’s voice was soft, but the way his eyes darted toward Levi, then the hallway, made it clear this wasn’t just a casual chat. I glanced back at Levi, still seated, still breathing heavily from what had just happened—his knuckles white, jaw tight, like he was still fighting a war deep inside himself. I didn’t want to leave him, not after what just happened. But something in Julian’s expression—concern, maybe even fear—pushed me to nod.We stepped out of the room and into a quiet corner of the corridor. Julian didn’t speak at first. He just ran a hand through his dark curls and leaned against the wall, exhaling like he’d been holding his breath for hours.And I realized this was the first time we were speaking since I told him I’d never forgive him for trying to separate me from Levi.“I know you’re going to hate me for this,” he began, “but I need to say it.”I folded my arms, already bracing myself. “Go on.”“I think this is a bad idea,” he said

    I didn’t speak to Julian the next morning.Not during breakfast. Not when he asked if I needed more pancakes. Not even when he handed me some cash incase I needed to get gas for my car.He ended up having to drop the money next to my plate on the table since I wouldn’t take it from him. I acted like he wasn’t there. In a way, he wasn’t. He was dead to me. But every time he flashed me a regretful look, my heart melted and my conscience pricked.But I couldn’t cave. Not yet. Not ever.He began to speak again, while I was busy washing off my plate. “Astra—” he called out.I immediately brushed past him with my bag slung over my shoulder, refusing to spare a second to grab a bottle of water from the fridge, and slamming the door a little harder than necessary.If he noticed, good. If he didn’t, even better. But I was sure he would.I sat in my car and listened in on my family. All that met me was silence—loud and heart shattering silence. One that could only be born of disappointed and re

    Less than thirty minutes into my storm out, and I was starting to have second thoughts. Could this end up being the worst idea I’d ever made in my entire life? Should I go back and just call things with Julian even? No, I was too proud to turn around and head back home.I wasn’t even sure I’d remember the way back. It was too dark to navigate my surroundings and for the first fifteen minutes, I’d been way too angry to pay attention.How could I? When all I could hear was Julian’s words about Levi. The fear in his voice whenever Levi’s name became a topic of discussion.But I wasn’t going to let that sway me.Fuck this. Fuck him. I’m not a child. I can make my own decisions.So, I kept walking.I didn’t know how much more distance I covered—a mile, maybe two—but the adrenaline was beginning to wear off. My arms were wrapped tightly around myself, not so much for the cold but for the sinking realization that maybe storming off into the night hadn’t been my brightest idea.The streets ha

    The field was nearly empty when Valerie and I stepped onto the grass. Football practice had just ended, and most of the team had already cleared out. Only a few players lingered, stretching or hydrating on the sidelines.Levi stood near the bleachers, talking to Coach Storm. His arms were crossed, his brows pulled together, and his mouth was tight with frustration. Even from where I stood, I could tell something was wrong.“Looks like he’s not having the best day,” Valerie murmured.“No, he isn’t,” I whispered back.We slowed our pace, keeping our distance while the coach gestured sternly, his voice too low to carry. After a few more tense seconds, Coach Storm patted Levi’s shoulder, then walked away toward the locker rooms. Levi stayed rooted, eyes glued to the ground.I took a tentative step forward. “Hey.”His head snapped up. For a moment, his face softened when he saw me, but the tightness quickly returned. “Hey,” he said, running a hand through his dark hair. “Didn’t expect to s

  • Mating The Half She-Wolf   CHAPTER 57.

    Valerie held my hand as we walked out of elemental class, weaving past other students also trying to make their way to the next lessonThe air smelled like parchment and pine, a scent I was starting to associate with Moondew High. I tucked a loose curl behind my ear and glanced sideways at Valerie, who was rolling her eyes at something on her phone.“why does it always feel like school here isn’t about learning but surviving a twisted hunger games contest?”Valerie stretched lazily and glanced over at me. “Because it is?”I sighed. “Exactly, Moondew academy isn’t just a high school.”She smirked. “It’s a miniature pack system. And whether everyone agrees or not, our importance is basically based on ranking.”I nodded, my gaze sweeping across the clusters of students. There were the rich kids. These were people like Levi—people who had families on the council or had alpha blood in them. People whose families meant something, not just in Moondew, but neighboring packs as well. They were
