Jade

Guilt is a damn heavy thing. It sinks into your bones, sets up camp, and makes itself at home until it’s all you can feel.

That’s where I am right now—drowning in it. Every time I close my eyes, I see Patrick’s lifeless body, feel the weight of his death pressing down on my chest like a boulder. If I’d been stronger, if I’d practiced more, maybe I could’ve saved him.

Maybe. But maybes don’t change anything, do they?

The exhaustion? That’s a whole other beast. Every day, I push myself harder. Forcing magic to come when it doesn’t want to, trying to get stronger, faster. The thought of another demon showing up while I’m not ready keeps me up at night, and I’m paying the price for it. My hands shake, my vision blurs at times, and Penny’s questions are getting harder to answer.

And yet, through it all, Damien’s there. Picking up the pieces I leave behind like he’s some kind of walking glue stick, holding my shattered edges together.

“You’ve got to rest, Jade,” Damien says for the hun

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Now Pregnant With His Baby   Book 2: chapter 13

    Alec clears his throat, looking faintly embarrassed, but there’s a flicker of pride there, too, like he’s actually touched by her words. “It’s been interesting, that’s for sure.”I nod, watching them both, and I have to admit, there’s something endearing about their dynamic. Alec—doting, protective, the complete opposite of the sarcastic, hard-headed guy I know. And Jade—bold, comfortable in her own skin, and clearly at ease here in a way that catches me off-guard.“Well, I’m glad you’re here,” I say honestly. “It’s nice meeting someone who knows him better than just the alpha version.” I give Alec a pointed look. “Maybe you can tell me what I’m really in for,” I add.Jade grins, giving Alec a mischievous look. “Oh, I could tell you stories. But I’ll save those for another time.” She glances at the window, her expression turning thoughtful. “Especially since, well… there’s a bit more going on around here than just honeymoon festivities.”Alec tenses beside her, and I see the briefest

    IsadoraI am not a morning person. Not by a long shot. So if I’d known being married to Alec Thornton meant I’d be roused by hushed voices and the smell of burnt coffee before the sun has hardly come up, I might’ve signed up for another extended sabbatical instead.I crack open one eye as the voices reach me, faint but insistent, filtering up from downstairs. I sit up, tugging the blanket around my shoulders, and strain to make out the words. No use from up here—this house is way too big. But the curiosity eats at me, and before I can second-guess myself, I’m slipping out of bed and moving toward the door.I step into the hallway, careful not to let the floors creak under my feet as I edge down the stairs. One voice, unmistakably Alec’s, carries a hint of tension, and the other—a lighter, more playful tone—I recognize as belonging to his sister, Jade.I creep down, stopping just before the last step, hidden but close enough to finally hear them clearly.The voices float up from the ki

    She doesn’t answer, but the look in her eyes says it all. This isn’t going to be easy, and we both know it.I stare at her, trying to keep my temper in check, but all I feel is the heat rising under my collar, frustration building up to a sharp edge. I’d brought her here tonight with every intention of trying—trying—to smooth things over, to apologize for how we left things in the past. But here we are. She’s made it abundantly clear that she’s not interested in apologies, unity, or anything close to understanding.“You know what?” I growl. “Fine. If you want this to be a war zone, then have it your way, Isadora.”She rolls her eyes. “Glad we’re on the same page.”Without another word, I turn, striding out of the room, leaving her standing there with that defiant glint in her eye like she’s won something. The urge to slam the door behind me is strong, but I force myself to keep my footsteps steady, each one echoing through the house as I make my way to the living room. The last thing

    “Doesn’t it?” I fire back, my tone cold. “Because that’s exactly what it looked like. While the rest of us were here, dealing with everything the demons left behind, you were conveniently out of reach. You didn’t know half of what we went through.”“Maybe I didn’t,” she snaps. “But you don’t know what I went through, either. I came back, didn’t I?”“Oh, yeah, sure,” I say, sarcasm dripping from each word. “You came back when it suited you. After you’d had your fill of wherever-you-went, you waltz back in and expect everyone to pretend like nothing happened.”Her hands are clenched into fists, her eyes flashing like she’s barely holding herself together. “You don’t get it. Justbecause I wasn’t here doesn’t mean I didn’t care. I love this pack as much as you do.”“Do you?” I challenge. “Because it sure doesn’t look that way. All I see is someone who leaves when things get rough, who thinks she can come and go like none of it matters.”“Don’t turn this around on me, Alec,” she snaps. “Ju

    Alec“Well, this is ridiculous,” Isadora complains as she glares out the car window. “Just because we signed a marriage certificate doesn’t mean I have to live in your…castle.”She’s been fuming since we left the reception, tossing out every excuse she can think of for why she shouldn’t stay under my roof. Apparently, my “palace of pretension,” as she so kindly dubbed it, is the last place she wants to be.I let out a long breath, reminding myself for the fifth time that I’ve faced down rogues, rival alphas, and the council itself; I can handle a few barbs from my new wife.“Isadora, it’s tradition,” I explain, trying to keep my tone even, though her attitude is starting to grate. “An alpha and his luna are supposed to live together. What do you think the pack will say if you’re shacked up somewhere else?”She rolls her eyes, barely glancing my way. “They’ll survive. And I’m perfectly capable of ‘shacking up’ on my own, thank you very much.”I bite back a retort and keep my voice calm

    With one last look, she turns to leave. Her footsteps are quiet as she slips out of the room, leaving me alone. I take a deep breath, glancing at myself in the mirror one last time, at the girl who somehow managed to grow into herself despite everything. I’m not that timid bookworm anymore. I’m stronger now, and maybe, just maybe, that will be enough to get me through this.But as I turn away from the mirror, all I can think about is the boy Alec was back then—and the man he is now, the one waiting for me at the end of the aisle.The ceremony itself is a blur, like I’m moving through a heavy fog. My dress weighs on me like a thousand-pound cloak, and each step down the aisle feels like I’m walking into a trap that snaps shut behind me, inch by inch.The crowd’s chatter fades as I take my place beside Alec. The reality of it all finally hits home. The vows, the traditions, the faces watching our every move, looking on with expressions that range from delighted to calculating. My mother
