(Rachelle's POV)

Hazel is quiet the rest of the visit, but she doesn’t push me away.

She watches. Listens. And when I say I should get going, she stands and walks me to the door.

"Will you come back tomorrow?" she asks, her voice feather-light, almost fragile.

I blink, surprised. “If you’d like me to.”

She nods slowly. “I think I would.”

And just like that, I win a sliver of trust. Or so I think.

Or so I believe.

The next day, I return with more treats—berry tarts this time, and a little charm I enchanted myself, something subtle. A protection token. Fake, of course, but believable enough for a child.

Hazel accepts it without a word. But when I sit across from her, I notice something... off.

She’s smiling.

It’s small. Barely there. But it’s a real smile. And it’s not for me—it’s for herself.

  • My One-Night-Stand Alpha   Chapter 87 Innocence

    (Hazel’s POV)That night, I didn’t sleep.The cake Rachelle brought was still sitting on my windowsill, getting all stale and sticky. I didn’t even take a bite. I just looked at it, trying to decide if it smelled weird. It didn’t. But it still made my stomach feel funny.Not the cake.Her.I curled under my blanket and hugged Bramble, my stuffed bear. I told Mom I was too big for him now, but I wasn’t ready to let him go. Bramble didn’t judge me when I was scared, or when I had to think real hard like tonight. He just stayed.“She’s not like the others,” I whispered to him.He didn’t answer, but I pretended he was listening.Rachelle’s eyes were too shiny when she smiled. Not in a nice way, like Mom’s when we do something good. No, it was the kind of shiny that hides sharp things. Like when a fox pretends to be a friend.I touched the charm she gave

  • My One-Night-Stand Alpha   Chapter 88 They Know

    (Rachelle’s POV)Later that eveningThe night is soft and heavy with the scent of pine and late-blooming jasmine. The wind hums outside my window, stirring the curtains like a lullaby. It should be calming.But I’m wired.Because they didn’t push me away today.Hazel didn’t glare as hard. Asher actually asked me a question. It was small, meaningless to someone who doesn’t know what to listen for—but to me? It was everything.“Can you do magic too?”A casual question from a curious boy, sure. But it meant he was wondering. Wondering if he could learn something from me. Wondering if I had answers that no one else had given him. And most of all—if I was different from the grown-ups who only saw his power as something to control.That’s how it starts.It always starts with wonder.Hazel, though… Hazel is different.She’s the hard one. Not

  • My One-Night-Stand Alpha   Chapter 89 She Knows

    (Hazel's POV)The honey cakes taste too sweet. Like they’re trying to cover something up.I chew slow, just like Mama told me—never trust sweetness too fast. Especially from someone who talks too soft and smiles too much. I keep my eyes half-closed, the way wolves do when they’re watching something dangerous.Rachelle’s voice is like syrup, sticky and fake. “I want to help you, Hazel. You and your brother. I want to teach you how not to be controlled.”I blink at her.That word. *Controlled*. I don’t like it. It sounds like cages and chains and being told what to do with the thing that burns under my skin. I don’t know what I am yet—but I know I’m not a tool. And neither is Asher.She leans closer, like she thinks we’re sharing secrets now. “People are always scared of what they can’t control. Even your mother.”I sit up straighter. “My mom&rsquo

  • My One-Night-Stand Alpha   Chapter 1 Reckless Revenge

    (Almira’s POV)I stood on the deck of the luxurious cruise ship, watching the frenzied celebration of the wolf packs. The void within me grew deeper. This is the annual Hunt Festival for all werewolves, a highly anticipated event akin to a year-end celebration. This year, it was hosted by the strongest wolf pack in North America. Not only did they provide expensive drinks, but they also gathered werewolves from various packs, greatly increasing our chances of finding mates.I came here solely to celebrate the festival. I had already chosen my mate, but that became history just ten minutes ago.My good-for-nothing mate betrayed me, grinning as he told me he had slipped and accidentally inserted his dick into a female wolf's vagina. That’s just as ridiculous as it sounds. Being an omega, he treated me like a fool to be toyed with, believing that I’m nothing without him.Of course, I had to prove him wrong. So, I slapped him and rejected him. I bet he didn’t see that coming.As much as I

  • My One-Night-Stand Alpha   Chapter 2 Twist of Fate

    (Almira’s POV)*Ring! Ring! Ring!*I woke up to the sound of my alarm screaming at my ears.“Arghh…” I groaned as I blindly searched for it on the bed with my eyes still closed.This is probably one of those mornings where getting up on bed is the last thing I want to do. The sheets are just so cozy, and these arms hugging me are just so freaking warm.Wait…Arms? Hugging me?My eyes widened as a chilling realization washed over me. I could feel all the hair on my body standing up at the thought of having another person beside me in bed.I slowly lifted my head, avoiding to wake up whoever’s hugging me right now, and that’s when my face turned white. “What have I done…” I mumbled to myselfI silently gasped upon confirming that we’re both naked under the sheets inside an unfamiliar room.Everything went crashing back inside my head as soon as I saw the face of the man I spent the whole night with. That gorgeous face was the same fucking face who offered me drinks last night, and I don

  • My One-Night-Stand Alpha   Chapter 3 Finding Her

    Lysander's Pov[After That Night on the Cruise]“No records? Are you fucking kidding me? She managed to get into my party, and you’re telling me you don’t know how she did it?!”Beta Mid hung his head, admitting his incompetence in handling such a simple disappearance case. Frustrated, I hurled the champagne glass against the brick wall, unwilling to accept the fact that the woman who had spent the night with me had vanished into thin air.This was a first for me. Usually, the she-wolves would stay, begging for more privileges. But her? She slipped away while I was asleep!What infuriated me even more was the inexplicable pull she had on me—her kiss, her touch—it felt like my soul had finally been made whole after my dick had been sucked in.Mate. That was the only explanation. She was my mate, though I dared not admit it. From the age of 18 until now, 12 years later, I’ve been disappointed too many times.And her rank—she was an Omega… Could it really be true? As the strongest Alpha

  • My One-Night-Stand Alpha   Chapter 4 Pregnant?!

    [Almira’s Pov][One Month Later]I should’ve known better. The discrimination against Omegas within the packs was something the Alphas allowed to persist. Even though we’ve lived in the human community for so long, nothing has changed. When I woke up in Alpha Lysander’s bed after our one-night stand, I was so terrified that I ran away.I was scared. My ex-boyfriend, Liam, was just a Beta from a small pack, but even he treated me like I wasn’t worthy of love. How could I expect the Alpha of the most powerful pack in North America to accept me as his Luna?It was just a one-night stand, a way to get back at Liam for his infidelity. That’s all it was. I didn’t expect anything more from it. I believed he felt the same way. I thought my rejection would show him my pride—that I wasn’t the kind of woman who used her body to gain privileges.I refused his help. I believed I could handle my problems on my own. But then he insulted me, fired me, as if he regretted what happened between us. It h

  • My One-Night-Stand Alpha   Chapter 5 This is a Mistake!

    (Almira’s POV)I’m currently sitting at the edge of my bed with my laptop balanced on my knees, staring at the screen.Lysander Hitwell.Maybe it’s just me, but that name sounds so sexy like him. His name alone sends a chill down my spine, and not in a good way. Well, maybe a little in a good way. I don’t know. My emotions are all over the place right now.I don't know how long I’ve been staring at my laptop. It’s probably long enough to call myself a psychopath.The pictures on the business site don’t help. He looks like he just stepped out of a magazine—broad shoulders, sharp jawline, dark hair always perfectly styled. And those eyes. I can’t even look at them for too long without feeling like I’m shrinking into myself.How did this happen? Of all people, why him? Why the guy who’s so far out of my league it’s laughable?It was yesterday when I found out that I was pregnant. Now, I’m back here in my house, shoving my face with gummy worms that I found hidden in the kitchen cabinets.

    (Rachelle’s POV)Reginald is an idiot.A powerful idiot, yes—but still an idiot. He thinks I’m working for him. Thinks I’m here to win *his* little power struggle against Almira. He thinks I’m just a jealous mate, clinging to my position and my unborn child like it's all I’ve got.He has no idea.As I leave his office, I let my expression shift slowly back into a soft, concerned smile—just enough for the omegas walking by to see. I even rub my stomach as I pass them. Let them think I’m maternal. Harmless. That’s how you survive in a world of wolves.You act like the sheep.But I’m not here to be Reginald’s puppet or Almira’s shadow. I’m here for the twins.Hazel and Asher.I saw them once—just a glimpse—when Almira brought them inside. Hazel’s eyes locked on mine for barely two seconds, but I felt it. Raw energy. Magic that made the hairs on my arms rise.They're different.And I want them.Not because they’re cute or royal or whatever Reginald imagines. No, I want what’s *in* them. P

  • My One-Night-Stand Alpha   Chapter 84 Two-Headed Snake

    (Reginald’s POV)I slam the crystal tumbler down onto the desk. Whiskey sloshes over the rim and soaks into a pile of reports I’ve already read twice. Nothing in them helps me. Just more useless updates from spies, empty words from the council, and—worst of all—nothing about how to control the damn twins.They’re under my roof, eating my food, breathing my air. But I can’t touch them. Can’t use them. Can’t even speak freely around them without Almira sniffing out my intentions.She ruined everything.She stormed in like some returning hero, claiming motherhood and moral high ground like a prize. The pack flocked to her like sheep. Even Mid—my Beta—has started tiptoeing around her like she owns the damn place.I stand up, pacing across the room. My heels echo off the marble floor, loud and angry.The children—Asher and Hazel—are something different. My Beta confirmed it. Hazel nearly melted through a silver pot in the kitchen, and Asher? He looked at one of the patrol guards, and the g

  • My One-Night-Stand Alpha   Chapter 83 Trap

    (Almira’s POV)The best way to catch a snake is to make it feel safe in the grass.So I pretend. I act like I’m softening. Like I believe Rachelle’s cooing and concern. I start inviting her more often to “bond” with the twins. I don’t hover—but I watch from a distance. I let her think she’s winning.Mid and I set everything carefully.We pick a day when Damon is out with the border patrol. The pack house is quiet. The kids are painting in the garden. I leave a worn leather journal on the garden bench—the one that supposedly contains notes about the twins’ powers and some fake “ritual symbols.”It’s bait.Rachelle arrives exactly on cue.“Almira,” she says, all sweet and surprised. “You’re letting them paint outside alone now?”I smile. “They’ve been so calm lately. I think it helps them feel… grounded.”She nods. “May I?” she gestures toward the kids.“Of course,” I say. “I’ll be in the herb room. Call if you need me.”I walk away slowly, but not too far.I wait.Minutes pass. Then I

  • My One-Night-Stand Alpha   Chapter 82 I Don't Trust Her

    (Almira’s POV)I don’t trust her smile.Not the one she gave my daughter when she asked if she liked painting, her voice all syrup and false warmth. Not the one she flashed at Asher when she offered him cookies she hadn’t even baked herself, pretending to care.And now, after what Mid told me… it all makes sense.She’s watching them. Not like children—but like riddles she’s desperate to solve. Every glance, every question, it’s calculated. Measured. Like she’s gathering data.I pace by the window, arms folded, eyes locked on the backyard. The kids are playing, completely unaware. So innocent. So normal. Asher’s shadow dances at his feet as he laughs, his joy loud and unfiltered. Hazel’s kneeling on the stones, drawing suns and hearts in chalk, her hair catching the light like strands of gold.

  • My One-Night-Stand Alpha   Chapter 81 The Game Begins

    (Rachelle’s POV)They’re here.The twins. Almira’s children.I hear it from the servants before breakfast — whispered between dusting and folding towels. I’m sipping tea on the balcony, watching birds land on the railing like they know I’m in a mood.“Did you hear?” the younger one says, not knowing I’m listening. “The twins are back. Damon brought them straight to the Alpha’s quarters.”“Their mother too,” the older one adds, a little too loud. “She’s staying for a while.”I set my teacup down gently. The clink of porcelain is the only sound I allow.So, she’s here. Again.I rest a hand on my stomach, just enough to play the part. A gentle rub, a soft sigh. The baby bump is small, but it’s there. People soften when they see it. Men open doors. Women smile. It’s almost too easy.The first time I heard about the twins’ abilities, I didn’t believe it. It sounded like nonsense. Glowing eyes. Shadows that move. One of the servants even said Asher made a wolf go still just by looking at it
