LOGINBROOK'S POVI was sitting on the edge of the bed, gently brushing Rowan’s hair as he leaned against me, his small body relaxed after his bath. Then a knock came from the door and my hand stopped immediately.I set the brush down carefully and glanced toward Rowan before standing.“I’ll be right back.”He gave me a small nod, barely lifting his head as I crossed the room. When I opened the door, I found one of the guards standing there.He stretched out his hand and there was an envelope in it.“From Alpha Theo.”The name alone was enough to make my fingers tighten slightly.I looked at the envelope, recognizing the seal. A part of me wanted to refuse it simply because it came from Theo, but I knew that wouldn’t accomplish anything.With a reluctant sigh, I took it.“Thank you.”The guard nodded and walked away, leaving me standing there with the envelope still in my hand.For a few seconds, I stared down at it, already expecting whatever was inside to upset me. Then I went back inside
BROOK'S POVI stayed curled against Levi, listening to the steady rhythm of his breathing while his arms remained wrapped around me.There was something comforting about being this close to him again. The warmth of him beside me, the way his hand rested gently against me, the familiar feeling of knowing that he was really there and that I wasn’t going to wake up and find it had all been some cruel dream.After everything we had been through, moments like this felt almost impossible, like something I had spent years wanting without realizing how much I had missed it.I turned my head slightly and looked at him to see him smiling. Genuinely smiling.“This is exactly what I should have done the minute I woke up.”I stared at him for a second before a quiet laugh escaped me.“You cannot be serious.”“I am.”“I can’t believe you’re actually happy right now because of that,” I said, shaking my head.“I have every reason to be happy. I mean, after everything, I finally have something I thoug
BROOK'S POVThe kiss deepened within seconds and Levi's lips were parting mine with a pressure that sent heat pooling low in my belly.I fisted my hands in his shirt, pulling him closer and straddling him. His fingers dug into my hips, pressing me against the already growing hardness behind his zipper. A soft moan escaped my throat, swallowed by his hungry mouth.I arched against him, grinding my hips in a slow circle that made him groan. His hands slid down to cup my ass, squeezing firmly as he lifted me and got up from the couch effortlessly.My legs wrapped around his waist instinctively and he carried me into one of the empty rooms. Levi lowered me onto the bed, following me down without breaking the kiss.The mattress dipped under our combined weight, and within seconds, we were completely naked. I could feel his dick, thick and heavy against my thigh.Levi's eyes darkened as he took me in, his gaze so intense it felt like a physical touch."Fuck, Brooks," he breathed, his hands
BROOK'S POVA few days had passed since we were moved to the new apartment, though calling it an apartment didn't sound right. It had everything we needed, furniture, a kitchen, bedrooms, and space to make it feel lived in, but there was no escaping what it really was.Another place we were imprisoned.The building was in a desolate area, surrounded by constant security. There were guards outside at all times, and every movement in and out was monitored.Levi kept acting like everything was okay, and that was what bothered me the most.He moved through each day as if nothing had changed. He woke up, ate breakfast with us, helped Rowan with whatever toys or game he had decided was important that day.But I knew him better than that now.I saw the moments when his smile faded the second Rowan looked away. I noticed how his eyes lingered on the windows, the doors, the guards outside. I noticed how quiet he became when he thought I wasn't paying attention.He was doing a pretty good job
LEVI'S POVMy gaze locked onto Theo as the door shut behind the last guard that entered, the sound echoing sharply in the confined space.Finally, I could get an explanation for this madness going on.“What’s going on, Theo?”Theo’s expression didn’t soften, or shift into the familiarity I had always known. Instead, something colder settled in its place, like a mask being removed and nothing human left behind.When he finally answered, his voice wasn’t the one I recognized.“It’s Alpha now. And you will address me properly.”I blinked once, certain I had misheard him.Theo stepped further into the room, and his gaze didn’t hold hesitation or warmth. If anything, it became sharper, more distant, like the Theo I knew had already been stripped out of him before he walked into this room.“What?” I asked, disbelief heavy in my voice.My mind refused to accept those words at first. Those words belong in the same sentence as Theo. The man who had once stood beside me through late nights, str
That memory made my head start pounding and I pressed my fingers into my temple, trying to ease the sudden rush of my thoughts.Levi noticed right away."Brooks?"I turned to him, noticing how the expression on his face changed to a look of concern."What's wrong?"I shook my head. "Nothing."But he didn't buy it. He didn't look convinced when his eyes met mine and when he squeezed my hand tighter in his."Brooks."The way he said my name made it clear that there would be no getting out of it. He wasn't going to let it go.I looked away for a moment, wondering whether or not I should say it out loud. I could hardly believe what I thought myself but the memory planted the seed of doubt in my head and now, I couldn't ignore it anymore."I just remembered something."Levi waited for me to continue."The accident that happened that night, the one I had when I left school, I'm not sure that it was just a random accident."Levi stared at me, his entire demeanor hardening as he processed my
BROOK'S POVThe weight of everything that had happened finally started to sink in, and I felt my chest tighten as I looked at Levi.All of this had happened because of me. Levi's wolf was gone because of me.If he had never fallen unconscious, Theo and Lord Drahzar would never have had the chance t
BROOK'S POVThe healers arrived not long after to examine Levi carefully, asking him questions about how he felt. Levi answered them calmly, though I noticed the way his patience started wearing thin when they repeated the same checks more than once.The healers checked his temperature, his pulse,
BROOK'S POVI froze, unable to move as I stared at him, because for a moment I couldn’t convince myself that what I was seeing was real.My mind had been pushed so far past its limit that I wondered if it had created the one thing I wanted most just to give me some relief. After days of watching hi
BROOK'S POVEverything happened too quickly after the guards grabbed us. The witch woman who had entered with him moved toward Levi’s bed.“Don’t touch him!” I screamed.The guards held me tighter as I struggled in his hold.Rowan was crying beside me, calling for me, but I couldn’t take my eyes of
