“I hope I don’t have to mop those floors,” I mutter to myself, earning a giggle from Penny.

We make our way to the reception desk, which is so large, I could probably hide behind it if I wanted to. The woman behind it—young, with perfectly styled blond hair and a smile so bright that it’s probably fake—looks up as we approach. She’s wearing a fitted black suit, the kind that screamsI’m important, and her eyes flicker with mild curiosity as she takes us in.

I glance around, feeling the eyes of some passing employees on us. Great, first day, and I’m already the spectacle. I force myself to focus on what matters. This is a job. A paycheck. A way to make sure Penny and I aren’t relying on Damien for every little thing.

Half an hour later, I’m settling into the reception area, trying to ignore the nerves buzzing under my skin. Penny is sitting beside me and has already made a little camp out of coloring books and snacks. It’s a relief, really, seeing her so content after the chaos we’ve be

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Now Pregnant With His Baby   Book 2: chapter 23

    Gray rolls his eyes, muttering, “Not this again,” but I catch a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. For a moment, it’s like we’re back to normal—a reminder of the camaraderie we’ve built over years of battles, scouting missions,and late-night strategy sessions. But then reality settles back over us, heavy and unyielding.Damien sobers, his gaze shifting to the map. “Let’s just hope we find this portal before it finds us.”The drive home is a quiet one. The meeting is still turning over in my head like an unresolved puzzle. Damien, Gray, and I combed through every possibility, every rumor, but nothing concrete surfaced about that demon portal.Jade’s vision hangs in the back of my mind like a dark cloud, casting a long shadow over the day. The possibility of an attack on our pack—it’s not a matter I can afford to ignore. The threat is real, even if it’s just lurking at the edges of our understanding for now.By the time I pull up to the house, twilight’s already sinking int

    AlecThe council room reeks of stale coffee and frustration.Damien leans back, one leg crossed over the other as he studies a rough map of Glory Town, the region that encompasses East Hills, Starfire Hollow, and Red Arrow packs, laid out on the table between us. He looks far too relaxed for someone who’s meant to be helping me locate a demon portal.Gray, on the other hand, stands stiff as a rod with his arms crossed like he’s barely tolerating the whole thing. I swear the man hasn’t cracked a smile since I first met him.“Let me get this straight,” I say, pinching the bridge of my nose, “we’ve combed every damn inch of our respective territories, sent scouts day and night, and we still have nothing?”Gray, Red Arrow’s alpha, sighs, shifting his weight, arms still crossed like he’s trying to hold himself together through sheer posture. “Pretty much sums it up, Alec. If there’s a portal somewhere, it’s hidden damn well. Or maybe the demons are simply biding their time and haven’t even

    He takes a deep breath and says, “I’m not asking for forgiveness, and I’m definitely not expecting it. I just want you to know I’m here, and that I’ll keep showing up. And maybe, eventually, you’ll believe that.”It’s a good answer, but I still don’t know how to let my guard down around him. I can’t shake the memories, the taunting, the years of feeling like I was the invisible girl in a room he ruled. But maybe… maybe he’s right. Maybe he’s changed, and maybe I need to give myself the chance to see that.I clear my throat, taking another sip of coffee to hide my hesitation. “Alright, then,” I say, trying to keep my tone light, though the tension in the air makes it difficult. “Consider this your chance. But don’t get too comfortable. I still reserve the right to hold things against you.”He laughs, a low, genuine sound that somehow eases the tension. “Wouldn’t expect anything less.”For the first time, it feels like the walls between us are a little thinner, like there’s a sliver of

    IsadoraI wake up with a headache that feels like a small construction crew is hammering inside my skull. The first blurry thought that crosses my mind is that I should avoid vodka for the rest of my life. Then, like a slow-motion horror reel, memories from last night trickle in—the drinks, the accusations, the way Alec just… listened.And… oh no, his apology.I sink further under the covers, as if they’ll somehow shield me from the mortification boiling up in my chest. I don’t remember every detail, but I remember enough to know I basically spilled out years of resentment and anger right in front of him. And if that wasn’t bad enough, he apologized. Genuinely apologized. Just thinking about it has me wrestling between wanting to hide and wanting to face him.After a few more minutes, I decide on avoidance. I pull myself together, gulp down water with a side of painkillers, and grab my things, making it to the bookstore an hour early, hoping to lose myself in a mountain of books befor

    “Molly?” I frown, genuinely thrown off. “What does Molly have to do with anything?”She sets her glass down, staring at me with a look that’s almost pitying. “Oh, come on. Don’t act like you don’t know she’s in town. She’s your ex, your old friend, whatever. Apparently, she thought it’d be funny to remind me just how lucky I am to have you. How I’m just… in the way.”I frown. “And you think that’s what I believe? Isadora, whatever Molly told you, that’s not my problem. She doesn’t know anything about us.”Isadora gives a half-smile and scoffs. “I know that. But you and I both know that people like her are only saying what everyone’s thinking. You don’t have to say it, Alec. It’s obvious.”I take a steadying breath, watching her with a mixture of frustration and curiosity. “Why are you so sure you know what I’m thinking, Isadora?”“Because,” she says, her voice a low hiss, “it’s the same thing you and everyone else thought back when we were kids. That I’m nothing. That I’m not worth th

    AlecDinner with my new wife should’ve felt like a step in the right direction. A chance to start fresh, clear the air, build… something.So far, it’s felt about as friendly as a high-stakes negotiation.We’re seated at this little Italian place just outside East Hills. Warm lighting, candles on every table, music that’s soft and pleasant but not overly romantic. The place itself is nice—small but cozy, with the kind of ambiance that usually puts people at ease. Not tonight, though. Our table might as well be a battlefield.I glance across the table, watching Isadora sip her fourth glass of vodka and soda for the night. Her fingers tap against the glass, and her gaze stays fixed on the wall like she’s hoping the night will end if she ignores me long enough.“So,” I say, leaning back, “are you planning on actually talking tonight? Or is the silent treatment part of the date package?”She doesn’t even glance my way. “No one asked you to sit there and watch me drink.”I sigh. “You know,
