Myron

I didn’t know what came over me when I grabbed her.

All I knew was that seeing her with him—again—made something feral snap inside me.

The sound of my own growl still echoed in my ears as I dragged her out of the courtyard, my hand tight around her wrist, her heartbeat pulsing wildly under my grip.

“Myron—stop!” she hissed, trying to pull free.

But I didn’t. Not until we were far enough away from the crowd, from Timothy’s smug face, from the whispers that would already be flying through the school. I stopped only when we were alone behind the training hall, breath ragged, heart hammering.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” she demanded, yanking her hand back.

I stared at her, every word caught somewhere between my chest and my throat. Her hair was a mess from the struggle, her eyes flashing with a fire that burned right through me. I wanted to speak, but anger drowned out reason.

“What were you doing with him?” I snapped.

Her mouth fell open in disbelief. “Excuse me? You dragge

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    65. East wing

    Timothy I’d been waiting for over an hour.The sun had already begun to dip behind the trees, staining the glass panes of the greenhouse gold. I’d gone all out — fairy lights, a small table I’d borrowed from the art department, even her favorite snacks from the cafeteria. Every little thing was supposed to remind her that I paid attention. That I cared.But the seat across from me was still empty.I checked my phone again — no messages, no calls. Just silence.I tried to stay calm, to give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she got held up. Maybe class ran late, or Selene was overworking the omegas again. But deep down, I knew it wasn’t that.Because the bond between us — weak as it might’ve been — told me something else. That she wasn’t coming.And worse… that she wasn’t alone.I leaned back against the bench, dragging a hand through my hair. Frustration simmered beneath my skin, hot and tight. I’d told myself I wouldn’t let jealousy win, that I’d be different from every alpha who

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    64. Complicated

    Nalini The first thing I realized when I walked into class that morning was that I wasn’t going to learn a single thing.The professor’s voice droned on about metabolic pathways or something equally complicated, but my mind wasn’t anywhere near enzymes or reactions. It was stuck on the small, folded piece of paper burning against my thigh like it carried a secret too heavy to ignore.Timothy’s letter.I’d felt it there since he slipped it into my pocket that morning, that quick touch and his low whisper still replaying in my head. Read it before noon, he’d said, and now every second that passed made my chest feel tighter.I tried to focus. I really did. But the more I told myself not to think about it, the louder it called to me.By the time the short break came, my notes were a mess of half-finished sentences and doodles that made no sense. My heart was fluttering, my palms slightly damp as I glanced around the classroom. Everyone else was busy stretching, chatting, or checking thei

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    63. The better guy

    Timothy Morning sunlight streamed through my curtains, spilling gold across my room like a quiet promise. For the first time in days, I didn’t wake up angry.I woke up hopeful.The bitterness that had burned through me last night had faded, leaving behind something steadier — something I could work with.Maybe it was stupid, maybe Lucia’s words should’ve stuck harder, but they didn’t. Because deep down, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Nalini and I were meant to be something real. Something that didn’t just fade because of one bad night.She was confused. Torn, maybe. But she wasn’t gone — not yet.I sat up, rubbing a hand over my face, replaying her last look before she left me standing on that road. There had been guilt in her eyes, yes, but also… something else. Something raw and unfinished.That was enough for me.I wasn’t going to let Myron win. Not when I knew what we could have if she just saw me for what I truly was.By the time I got dressed, my pulse was already racing wit

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    62. Not a fairytale

    Timothy The night was cool, but the weight in my chest made it hard to breathe.I sat on the hood of my car long after Nalini disappeared into the dark. My headlights were still on, cutting a pale beam through the trees — the same road she’d run down to find him.Myron.I’d seen the look in her eyes before she ran. That mixture of panic and longing. I wasn’t stupid. I knew exactly who she was running to.But knowing didn’t make it hurt any less.The forest whispered around me, the scent of damp pine thick in the air, and still I couldn’t move. I’d told myself I could handle being patient — that she just needed time. But now, patience felt like the cruelest punishment imaginable. I’d opened myself to her, given her a piece of me no one else had ever touched. And she’d chosen someone else.I dragged a hand through my hair, clenching my jaw until it ached. “You’re such an idiot,” I muttered to myself.“You’re not wrong.”The voice came from the shadows, smooth and sharp enough to cut. I

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    61. Prove it

    MyronThe moment I walked away from that courtyard, I knew I was seconds from losing control.Every step felt heavier, every breath hotter, until I couldn’t even see straight. The image of her — my Nalini — with his hands on her, his mouth on hers, was burned behind my eyes like a brand. The sound of her voice telling me he didn’t hurt her… that hurt worse than any wound I’d ever taken in battle.By the time I reached my car, I wasn’t thinking. I just needed to move — fast. Needed to outrun the burn in my chest before my wolf tore free and ruined everything.The engine roared to life, tires screeching against the pavement as I sped down the back road that cut through the edge of the woods. Wind whipped through the open window, but it did nothing to cool the fire in me. My hands clenched around the wheel so tight my knuckles whitened.How could she—No. I wasn’t going to think about it.Except I couldn’t stop. Every memory of her — every stolen glance, every word, every damn heartbeat

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    60. Into his warmth

    NaliniThe morning sun felt heavier than usual, like even it knew what I’d done.I sat on the edge of my bed, brushing out my hair in silence, trying to focus on the rhythm of each stroke instead of the memory of Timothy’s lips on mine. It had been soft — tentative, like he was afraid to hurt me — and I’d kissed him back because I wanted to feel something good. Something easy.And I had.For a moment, it felt like everything in my chest had quieted — the confusion, the guilt, the pull toward someone who only ever caused chaos. Timothy had made me laugh last night. He’d held my hand gently, like it was something precious.He was safe. Kind. Steady.And yet...Myron lurked at the back of mind.I shook the thought away, tying my hair back and slipping on my uniform Sara had ironed for me. I wasn’t going to ruin this day by thinking about him. I’d made my choice — or at least I was trying to.When I stepped outside, Timothy’s car was already waiting, sunlight gleaming off its dark hood.
