Drake POV

We had barely pulled into his driveway when I noticed the broken flower vases scattered across the front yard.

The flowers that had once lined the walkway were crushed beneath someone's feet, and several stems were strewn across the pavement.

Rowan's head snapped toward the house. “Lucas!”

He threw open the car door and stormed toward the entrance before I could even unbuckle my seatbelt.

I remained behind for a moment with my hands resting on the steering wheel.

    Rowan POVI hurried after Drake, barely managing to keep up with the speed at which he dragged me away from the stadium. He hadn't explained anything, and the strange look in his eyes had only made me more nervous.By the time we reached the locker room, my breathing was already uneven, but before I could ask another question, Drake pulled me inside and shut the door behind us.“Drake, what is going on with you?”He didn't answer immediately. His entire body was trembling, his shoulders rising and falling rapidly as though he were struggling to breathe, while his hands repeatedly clenched into fists before relaxing again. Something was obviously wrong, but whatever it was, he seemed unable to explain it.“Please, help me,” he finally managed, his voice strained as he pressed a hand against his head. “Why does it have to be you?”I stared at him, completely confused by his words. “What are you seeing? What is happening to you?”He suddenly looked at me, and the sight of his red eyes se

    Drake POV Apparently, the morning wasn't going to end without another headache.Slowly, I turned my head toward the man standing in the hallway. “What?”He hesitated before glancing at the damage around the house. “About what happened here—”“Don't.” My voice came out colder than intended.He swallowed.“Just because I didn't hit you doesn't mean you're free to do whatever you want with what happened today.” My eyes narrowed. “If you decide to publicize any of this, go ahead. Tell whoever you want.”A humorless smile touched my lips. “But you'd better have a very good lawyer ready when I come looking for you.”The man's expression changed immediately.I didn't wait for his response.There were more important things to worry about than an overconfident 'supposed' friend with a loud mouth.Rowan groaned weakly against my chest, and my attention immediately returned to him.Right now, getting Rowan somewhere safe mattered more than anything else.I carefully settled Rowan into the passe

    Drake POVI walked out of the hospital with my phone still pressed against my ear, listening to the same frustrating message for what felt like the hundredth time.Switched off.I pulled the phone away and stared at the screen before trying Rowan's number again.Nothing.“What's wrong with you, Rowan?” I muttered, frustration creeping into my voice. “You better pick up this time.”The call ended.I tried calling again but it wasn't going through.I lowered my phone with a sigh and shoved it into my pocket, but the uneasy feeling in my chest refused to disappear.My wolf stirred beneath my skin, restless and agitated.'Calm down. He's probably somewhere safe.'A low growl answered me.I frowned.'He's not here,' my wolf growled.“I know he's not here,” I muttered. “That's the problem.”The wolf growled again, but this time I felt something different behind it.Urgency.Then, just as suddenly as it had started, he went silent.That was strange.Usually, my wolf would argue with me until

    Rowan POVLucas rushed toward me and caught both my wrists before I could take another step.“Shut up, Rowan.”I snarled at him, and the anger hurt more than the fear ever did. “Isn't she the one who allowed you to betray me with my best friend? Isn't she?”Lucas's expression hardened then his hand struck my cheek.I stumbled sideways, one hand flying to my face as the room spun for a moment.“Don't you dare speak about the Moon Goddess like that,” he warned, his voice low and threatening. “Say another word, Rowan, and you'll regret it.”For once, I was empty. No answer, no comeback, nothing. But deep inside, one question wouldn’t shut up, and it was eating me alive.If the Moon Goddess had truly chosen this fate for them, then why did I feel like I was the one being punished?Diego's voice trembled as he stepped forward, his hands clasping together nervously. “Please, Lucas, spare him.”I shot daggers at him as that irritating soft voice sounds again.I almost laughed.“Spare me?” I

    Rowan POV“Rowan, I'm so sorry. Lucas and I didn't do anything,” Diego pleaded, pressing his palms together as he looked at me.I sat rigidly in the chair, my fingers curling against my knees as I struggled to keep my temper under control. “So I was blind when I saw both of you lying naked on the bed?”Diego's face fell.Lucas, however, remained completely unfazed. He leaned against the wall and crossed his arms. “What difference does it make? You're no different from me.”I slowly turned toward him, my disbelief giving way to anger. “Excuse me?”Lucas shrugged as though my reaction meant nothing. “You heard me.”I stared at him, wondering how he could stand there so casually after everything that had happened.Of all the explanations I had imagined tonight, this was somehow the one I had least expected.“Did you both come here to apologize or what?” I asked, my voice shaking as I fought to keep my temper under control. “Because I remember every stupid detail of what happened earlier.

  • My Rejected Mate Is The Ice King   Chapter 12

    Rowan POVMy body still ached from the beating Lucas had given me earlier, and every step sent another wave of pain through me. I had never seen that side of him before. Lucas had always been difficult, but he had never raised a hand against me, and the fact that he had finally crossed that line left me more shaken than I wanted to admit.I dragged myself out of the hospital with one hand pressed against my side, trying to ignore the exhaustion weighing down my body. The last thing I wanted was to leave, but I couldn't afford to stay another night.I couldn't spend more than a day in that hospital when my debts were already climbing faster than I could pay them. One more night would only mean another bill waiting for me, and I had no idea how I was going to handle the ones I already owed.I lowered my head and kept walking, forcing one foot in front of the other while silently praying my body would hold together long enough for me to make it home.“Yo, pretty boy over there. Come her
