The phone on my small kitchen table buzzed again, vibrating against the dark wood with a dull, persistent hum.

I sat on the edge of my mattress in the pitch-black bedroom, watching the bright screen light up the wall every few minutes.

Ren's name flashed on the display over and over, followed by half a dozen missed call notifications and two voicemail alerts.

I didn't reach out to answer it, and I couldn't bring myself to press the button to play his voice messages.

I just sat there in the quiet

    I backed further into the corner of the soft couch.I stared at Zara like she was a complete stranger."You are not making any sense," I said, my voice shaking. "I am just a normal human."Zara did not move toward me.She just sat on the wooden coffee table and looked at me with very sad eyes."You are not human, Jett," Zara told me softly. "You never were."I shook my head over and over again, refusing to listen to her."I do not have a wolf," I argued, grabbing the edge of the brown cushion tight enough to hurt my fingers. "I do not have claws, and I do not heal fast. I am just a regular guy who answers phones for a living.""Because your abilities are completely dormant," Zara explained quietly.She gestured toward the broken ceramic pieces scattered across the wet floorboards."I had to stay away from you while you were growing up," Zara continued. "I had to watch you from a distance to keep you safe.""Safe from what?" I demanded, my chest heaving."From the hunters," she answere

    I sat on the soft brown couch and watched the fire burn in the stone hearth.My chest felt a little lighter now that the massive weight of my secrets was out in the open.Zara walked out of the small kitchen carrying a steaming ceramic mug.She crossed the living room and handed the warm cup to me."Drink this," Zara instructed gently. "It is just chamomile and honey, but it will help settle your stomach."I wrapped both of my cold hands around the hot mug and let the heat seep into my frozen fingers."Thank you," I whispered, keeping my eyes on the dark liquid.Zara sat down on the wooden coffee table right in front of my knees."You are perfectly safe in my home, Jett," she promised. "Nobody knows you are here, and nobody is going to find you."I took a small sip of the hot tea.The sweet honey coated my dry throat, easing the harsh ache from crying so hard."I just do not know what I am going to do now," I admitted quietly."We will figure that out tomorrow," Zara said. "You have p

    I stared at my brother and his human mate.The happy voices of my pack buzzed around me in the warm evening air.But all I heard was a loud ringing in my ears.I let Jett run away today.I shattered his heart because I was absolutely certain these traditional people would kill him.I pushed him away because I thought I had to protect him from my own family.But they were smiling.They were handing Tristan plates of food and welcoming him into the pack without a single hateful word.The heavy, suffocating guilt sitting inside my chest suddenly burned away.A hot, blinding rage took its place.I was furious at the ancient traditions that poisoned my mind for months.But mostly, I was furious with myself.I was the Alpha of the largest territory in the region.I was supposed to lead these people, but I acted like a terrified coward.I hid behind legal loopholes and closed office doors instead of just stepping up and claiming the man I loved.Never again.I turned away from Lucas and scan

    The drive back to the pack territory took almost two hours.I barely remembered sitting behind the steering wheel.The adrenaline from kicking Jett's door open had completely drained out of my body.Now, I just felt entirely numb.I felt like a dead man walking, breathing but completely hollow inside.I stared at the dark pavement stretching out in front of my headlights.My mate was gone.He packed his bags and ran away because he thought I did not want him.My chest ached with a heavy, crushing guilt that made it hard to pull air into my lungs.I gripped the leather steering wheel tight enough to make my knuckles crack.I spent the entire drive replaying the terrible argument I had with Enzo in my office.I remembered shouting about the pureblood treaty and the dangerous council members.I had to face my family and those angry Elders eventually.I turned off the main highway and drove down the long, private dirt road leading to our home.The heavy iron gates of our territory loomed

    I rested my head against the cool leather seat of the luxury car.The dark tinted windows hid me from the busy highway traffic outside.I watched the tall buildings of the city slowly fade into the distance behind us.I told Zara I was taking a train, but I could not risk sitting in a crowded public station.I needed to get out of the city as fast as possible before Ren realized I was gone.So I opened a private banking app on my phone while I was in the elevator.I accessed the hidden funds I had not touched in two long years.I paid an exorbitant fee to hire a private driver to take me directly to the mountains.The quiet drive gave me way too much time to think.Ren's deep voice echoed in my head over and over again.Jett is my fated mate, but I do not want to mate him.I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around my round stomach.I felt so incredibly stupid for believing his quiet concern was real.He knew who I was from the very beginning.He orchestrated my job transfer and sat

    I grabbed my phone from my pocket.My hands were shaking so badly I almost dropped the metal device on the floor.I unlocked the screen and pressed my thumb against Jett's contact name.I brought the phone to my ear and listened to the dial tone.It rang three times before it clicked over to his voicemail."Pick up," I muttered, pacing a short line near the reception desk. "Please pick up the phone, Jett."I hung up and dialed his number again.It went straight to voicemail.He was ignoring my calls, or his phone was already turned off.Enzo walked out of the private office and stopped when he saw my face."What is wrong?" Enzo asked, looking at the crumpled paper in my hand."He heard me," I said, my voice cracking. "Jett was out here, and he heard me say I did not want him."Enzo's eyes widened in shock.I shoved the phone back into my pocket and turned away from my Beta.I could not just stand in this quiet office and wait.I started running down the hallway toward the elevators."
