I stared at the warm cardboard cup resting next to my keyboard, and my tired brain struggled to process the moment.

Ren Wilder, the ruthless billionaire who fired three senior executives without blinking, just brought me a coffee.

"Thank you," I managed to whisper while reaching out to wrap my cold fingers around the cup.

"Drink it before it gets cold, Jett," Ren said softly.

He did not offer a wide smile, but the hard lines around his pale eyes softened for a brief second.

He turned around and

  • PREGNANT AFTER ONE NIGHT STAND WITH THE LYCAN KING   113 - JETT'S POV

    I pulled the bathroom door open and stepped out into the dark hallway.A thick cloud of warm steam followed me out, clinging to the damp cotton of my clean t-shirt.The apartment was perfectly silent.I paused near my bedroom and listened closely for any signs of destruction.I half expected to hear the sound of sharp teeth tearing through my cheap couch cushions or heavy claws ripping up the linoleum floor.But there was nothing.I ran a hand through my wet hair and took a slow breath of the cool air.I walked down the short hall and peeked around the corner into the living room.The wolf was still there.It was not sleeping on the faded rug where I left it.It was standing right in the middle of the room, facing the hallway.Its bright golden eyes locked onto me the second I stepped into view.I froze in place.The calm, peaceful energy from earlier was suddenly gone.The massive beast was vibrating with a strange, nervous tension.Its ears were pinned straight back against its skul

    I laid my heavy head flat against my massive front paws and listened.The old pipes inside the apartment walls groaned and rattled in a constant rhythm.The steady drum of water hitting the plastic shower floor echoed down the short hallway.It was a very soothing sound.I closed my eyes and let out a long, slow breath, feeling the tension finally leave my thick muscles.My dark body took up a huge portion of the cheap living room rug, but I was perfectly comfortable.For the first time all day, my mind was actually quiet and still.I did not care about Arthur or his angry pureblood daughter.I did not care about the human board of directors waiting for their precious budget reports at the office.All I cared about was the gentle hum of the shower and the knowledge that Jett was safe inside the next room.I flicked my left ear toward the hallway, tracking every tiny noise he made.I heard a plastic bottle snap open, followed by the soft sound of soap lathering against wet skin.I neve

    The wolf finished the meat and licked its chops, staring at me with those intense golden eyes.I wiped my bloody hands on a spare paper towel I grabbed from the kitchen counter.The sudden rush of adrenaline from the window encounter was starting to crash hard.My limbs felt like they were made of lead, and a massive headache was blooming behind my temples.I ran a hand through my messy hair and let out a tired sigh.My skin felt sticky from the cold sweat, the dried tears on my face, and the lingering smell of raw blood.The harsh reality of my terrible week was catching up with my physical body.My muscles ached, my stomach felt tight, and my eyes burned from staring at the glowing computer screen earlier.I really needed to wash the day off before I collapsed.I tossed the dirty paper towel onto the coffee table and looked at the wolf."I need to take a shower," I said, pointing toward the short hallway.The animal tilted its head, watching my finger."You stay right here," I instr

    The heavy weight of the massive head resting on my thigh was the most grounding thing I had felt in weeks.I sat very still on the faded rug and stared at the dark fur pressing against my leg.My fingers were still tangled in the thick coat near the animal's shoulder.The heat radiating off the beast seeped right through my denim jeans, warming my freezing skin and soothing the deep ache in my lower back.It was breathing in a slow, steady rhythm.Every time it exhaled, a warm puff of air hit my knee.I should have been calling animal control or panicking about the size of the teeth currently resting inches from my stomach.Instead, I just traced my thumb along the line of its jaw.The wolf shifted slightly, and a low, rumbling sound vibrated deep in its chest.It wasn't a growl.It felt more like a heavy purr, vibrating right into my bones."You must be freezing from sitting out in that rain," I whispered into the quiet room.The wolf flicked one large ear toward my voice but didn't

    I stood on the rusted fire escape and stared at the trembling man standing inside the living room.Any normal human would have locked themselves in the bathroom and called the police the second I landed outside their window.A beast my size had absolutely no business roaming through a crowded city.Instead, Jett pushed the heavy glass open and asked a lethal apex predator not to bite him.He was terrified, yet his empathy somehow managed to override his basic survival instincts just to make sure an animal did not freeze in the rain.I needed to show him that he was perfectly safe.I ducked my massive head and flattened my ears firmly against my skull.I carefully stepped one large paw over the wooden sill, keeping my heavy tail tucked low between my back legs to hide my natural dominance.The floorboards groaned under my weight as I pulled my back legs inside.I let out a soft, high-pitched whine and stared directly at the faded rug, refusing to make eye contact so he would not feel c

    I took a slow, deliberate step toward the window.The wolf tracked my movement instantly.Its ears twitched back against its massive skull, but it didn't bare its teeth or growl.It just watched me approach."What are you doing all the way up here?" I whispered to the empty room, my voice raspy from crying.I took another step, closing the distance until I was standing right in front of the glass.The animal leaned in, meeting me halfway.Up close, the sheer size of the beast was absolutely terrifying.Its thick black fur absorbed the surrounding shadows, making it look like a piece of the night sky had broken off and landed on my fire escape.Its broad shoulders easily cleared the bottom of my window frame, and its head was almost level with my chest.Its claws were thick and sharp, gripping the metal landing with deadly ease.I could see the heavy muscles shifting beneath its dark coat every time it took a breath.I raised my hand and pressed my palm flat against the cold pane, rest
